[MAIN SPOILERS] Pilot Episode surprisingly good on rewatch.

With the long excruciating wait for season 7. I decided to do a bit of rewatching and not having seen the pilot episode for a more than 5 years I decided it was probably a good call. And I have to say, the pilot episode really knocks it out of the park with the way the stage is set up for the show knowing all that I know now. There is so much going on and it does it so well. It shows the dynamic of the Stark family really well, it sets up the Lannisters as antagonists brilliantly, and most importantly sets the stage for the central mystery of the first season really well with regards to Jon Arryn's death. It's also quite interesting to see how certain characters are so different to what they are now particularly Jaime, Sansa and Dany.

Might not be rated as highly as Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards or The Winds of Winter but it's a very solid episode that doesn't get enough praise. Definitely worth a rewatch.
