I haven't watched the previous seasons, but I did read the books. I understand there are differences, but whatever. Joining the watching starting this season! Between comments here and general internet the blanks are filled in adequately. I may watch the previous ones some day, but my queue is long.
Arya's badassery stands out in a world with an abundance of badasses. Poor Jaime should really run far away and pretend amnesia. Brienne is just so much fun, and her interactions with Tormund a delight. Sansa's dismissal of Littlefinger amusing. Much more Dany and Tyrion much more often, please.
Mostly a lot of looking forward to what happens with Bran, Jon, Sam, Daenerys (nice castle you got there), Tyrion, oh seriously, just anxious to go along for whatever ride awaits us. Also, the visuals are very satisfying, although the too dark scenes continue to annoy. Light a torch already.
Also, I like Ed Sheeran well enough, but seeing him in the last Arya scene kind of jarred me. It was distracting.
Did not like that at all. My biggest issue with the Ep.
I didn't know who he was so I was a little weirded out by how much focus he was pulling, like it was foreshadowing for him to like try to kidnap Arya or is actually a Faceless Man.

which one was he? clearly I have no idea who he is.
Now I feel bad about Ed Sheeran. I find him adorkable and apparently it was a surprise treat from the powers that be for Maisie Williams because she is a big fan. But fans being meanyhead bullies have abused him over the cameo appearance. Driving him to delete his Twitter account (not for the first time)
Anyway, backstory here in one of the few articles that doesn't immediately blast audio at you. [link]
Uh, didn't Sheeran quit Twitter a couple of weeks ago? It seems he's a flouncer-offer.

Apparently. It has to be a downside of celebrity to endure reading hate twitter. One of the late night hosts does the hate mail segment that includes horrible stuff people can say. I don't know which is worse, being hateful to loved ones or strangers. Both suck.

Ok, this makes me less cranky about it. I just really REALLY hate "Shape of You" and seeing his face gets it stuck in my head.
I don't mind his songs, but whenever I see him I get the impression that he would be surrounded by a cloud of yeasty feet odor.
