Was expecting her to go "meh" and just go home

I love Pokken!
Great episode
The ending, nothing really happening. I feel like the D&D just like to pointlessly hype Daenerys to no end.
It looked like the one belonging to Tyrion that he won from Petyr and was used by the assassin who tried to kill Bran in S1. They mentioned it had a dragonbone hilt. If that's the one you mean.

like half a second where a woman that I think is one of the snakes is swinging a sword against somebody.

Been a while, is open talk about the next episode preview kosher, or keep that behind spoiler tags?

Yea that bothered me. It would have made more sense if he was like "I didn't believe him until now when I saw it in this book as proof"
Looked like it to me. They mentioned it was valyrian steel. Nice touch.
The answer is in the OP.

Yeah, wtf was that.
yeah, that was stupid. They didn't think of a better excuse than that?!

I thought that Dany was going to find Gendry asleep in Dragonstone somewhere.
I guess I'm crazy because I misremembered Sam's delivery of his lines about Dragonstone and valyrian steel as him brushing it off when Stannis said it (i.e. 'forgetting about it') and now as he saw it in the book he remembered the conversation and this confirms Stannis' claim. I've done that before, remembered something after it was confirmed to me by a second source.

Favorite parts of the episode was Jon x Sansa confrontation and Cersei x Euron audience. Gimme that political intrigue.
My additional thought: Maybe their talk about home, will instead push her back North instead of South.

It was so dumb I figured at first there has to be more behind it than that, but after some of the dumber things that have been in this show I have no clue.
I thought it was a good episode. I think it straddles the line of feeling like fan-fiction at times (like the Arya-Frey scene) but I enjoyed it all the same. The Dragonstone scene was very well done.
I have a feeling she reunites with Clegane at some point and he is going north, right? I don't think Arya reaches her Cersei goal this season.
Oh damn. Welp.
Calling it now, it's the superweapon needed to kill the last boss. Introduced in the 1st 10 minutes of the game.

Chekhov's dagger.
Necessary set-up. I suspect we're getting two big human battles this season- North/Lannister and Euron/Dany, and both will come before ep. 6.
C'mon y'all. Nothing major was ever going to happen in the premiere. It was a setting the table episode, and Dany finally coming home is a pretty big deal.

That was an excellent episode. It seems the extra time and reduced workload made a difference.

Whereas I was worried that with fewer episodes, would mean some scenes wouldn't get made or pushed aside, but the Hound & The Fire scene was pretty great.
And it was pawned off years ago.
Also like most videogames, how were you to know you weren't supposed to sell "Strange Dagger" along with all the Tanned Hides and Bone Fragments you looted when you were grinding out in the Harrenhall Dungeon. You had to get that money for that +5 Incest repellent for when you took on Kings Landing.

Hopefully Ed runs into Bran at some point.

That's just kind of the crazy thing to me- that the show has even taken 60 episodes or so for Dany to get to Westeros... and yet the whole thing will be wrapped up in 13 or so episodes now?
That's not any kind of indication of quality or anything, it's just telling how the show has a certain pace when the books existed as a detailed blueprint and now that those are gone, the whole thing (what would probably amount to thousands of pages) can be sped through to completion in 13 episodes. I guess if the episodes end up being longer (hour plus) that might balance out but still, it seems kind of crazy how quickly they're wrapping this up, considering how long its taken to get to this point.
Some people expected two short, packed seasons. It looks like it's one season given a lot of room to breathe.
Plus a movie.
I'm not expecting the books to have much of anything in common with the show past S4. If they ever come out.
