Season 7 has to be one of the best seasons so far of Game of Thrones, despite moving remarkably fast. Eastwatch allows us to breathe after the epic episode last week, and does so in a very character driven way.
We open with a brilliant scene between Bronn and Jamie, then are taken to another visually breathtaking scene of Tyrion walking through the ashes of burnt Lannister bodies. Peter Dinklage is truly a master actor, he didn't even have to say a word in this short scene, because his face says it all. He's torn, you know he wants to stand by Dany, but also doesn't want to see his family ruined.
The meeting between Jamie and Tyrion was very brief, I would loved to have seen a little more of that, hell even a good scene between Tyrion and Bronn. I sorely missed their on screen duo.
The scenes in the North were great also, I loved that not everyone is getting along, as it should be. Arya is calling Sansa on her bulls***, and conducting her own little investigation on Littlefinger. I also loved seeing Baelish doing his sneaking things again.
Sam's scenes were more or less the same, but this time he's gotten sick of being told what to do and takes a stand, which I really liked, it shows how much his character has come from the punching bag from season 1. And am I the only one that caught that sneaky line with Gilly reading the marriage certificate? We know what your doing D&D you smart bastards.
We get a brilliant meeting between all our favourite characters towards the end of this episode, and I can't wait to see them in action. You know that some of them are going to die, and please I hope the Hound, Jon and Jorah survive. I won't be Game of Thrones without them.
Eastwatch is a very character episode, with great production designs, as always, great acting, and a fantastic build-up, to a next episode that is most likely going to be freaking mind-blowing.
I can see some people having an issue with this episode, and that would be all the time jumps. Throughout this whole series, things have moved reasonably slow. Characters would take seasons to get from one place to the other, but in this episode, they transport here and there within just a view scenes. But all this is understandable. Things are ending now, the Game is nearly over, and things are moving fast.
9.6/10
