Cool to see Jaqen again, but I can't tell if its the same actual person or its a different person who is just using his face. Either way, cool to see the actor again.
Streamlining Jon becoming LC was a good choice, there seems to be bigger plans for Jon this season than the book version so making him LC sooner rather than later was a good choice and Sam giving his speech was awesome.
Arya's list of names was significantly shorter, I thought that was weird. I guess the show is just dropping the names of the people who isnt likely to kill? No idea there, just weird.
The Mereen storyline seems like it will be much more interesting than in the books and seeing Drogon again was awesome. The two dragon scenes this seasons showed thatn Dany really only has a bond with 1 of the 3 of them.
I really liked the Small council scene with Kevan and Qyburn. I think in general, I always like the small council scenes, but this one was cool because the council is just soo different now.
Bronn looked so different yet acted the exact same! I don't have good feelings for him going to Dorne though. Jaime going there could be a better storyline than where he goes in the books. Should be very interesting to see how that plays out.
And Dorne looks awesome! I was surprised it didn't show up in the opening credits though, I got to think it shows up next week though? Maybe replace the Eyrie since I don't believe any characters are actually there now. Doran looks the part too, as well area Aero Hotah.
