I was so excited for the return of GoT. The storyline for this episode is fine. What concerned me was the quality, or lack of it.
The Disneyesque flight scene has poor CGI, looking a good decade out of date. A pointlessly drawn out interlude. There were more nuanced ways to show Jon has a Targeryan affinity with the dragons.
The scene where Sam learns about his family was brilliantly acted but then the scene where Jon learns about his ancestry was rushed and too simple. This is the climax of so much build up and it completely lacked any tension.
I hope it's just a blip but something, quality or grit, feels missing.
