I haven't got a scooby who is who. Watched it for the first time last night, it was like turning the book to the last chapter because the rest was missing.

It's partly because Americans don't like American accents in historical or quasi historical settings. In their imaginations everyone who lives in Ye Olde Times speaks with a European (usually British) accent.

Try it, you will not be disappointed.
So many good story lines and plots that run through it, even now things link back to Series 1 episode 1...
There is a loose plot connection in that, historically, it's only those with Targaryen (or at least Valyrian) blood who can ride dragons.
Suggests to me that Daenerys has a least a suspicion about Jon's bloodlines, although probably not the exact nature of the link, and was putting it to the test
Largely gratuitous CGI padding though.
Have to agree here. Drogon had a weird smirk on his face as if to say 'You know she's your sister, right?'
Was the first bit of cheese and unnecessary. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not seen such Bravery!
She's his aunt.
Decent shout - I'm not even saying he makes it to the end, just that I think he will end up a hero somehow.

The CGI was incredible at times in this episode, I know the dragon riding stuff is baloney and irrelvant really but a big part of GOT to me is the spectacular visuals, so I really enjoyed that scene. Other than that, very much as expected... setting the scene ready for the final few episodes, I was mildly surprised we didn’t see the night king at all.
Re: the Jaime Lannister talk, I must say he’s one of if not my favourite characters in the series, I feel like he will probably die in the final season as a hero, he’s been a roguish hero the whole series, so it would be a fitting end for him.

Oh that's alright then
It kind of is for Targaryans

Solid episode last night. Bit of intro, most was as anticipated, except ….
Euron getting in there
Bronn’s new task – Will he carry it out? Also the fact that Cersei is now willing to off Jaime
The mention of the Iron Islands or Dragonstone as a fall back option
I’m also slightly intrigued by some absenses. In particular, Mellisandre, who I’m certain still has a roll to play. Possibly also Jakin
I’m thinking, another episode of building some tension, then an absolute bloodbath in ep 3, which I understand to be the longest

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Series 8 run times
Winterfell – 54 mins
Episode two – 58 mins
Episode three – 82 minutes
Episode four – 78 minutes
Episode five – 79 minutes
Episode six – 79 minutes
I’m not convinced that Bronn’s new task is directly from Cersei, I got the feeling that was Qyburn up to something which is why he wanted him out of the way quickly.
Sophie Turner. That is all.

Kind of found the episode a bit 'meh' to be honest. However thats not going to stop me making a couple of wildly inaccurate speculations about how the series will pan out.
In essence...
The Lannister army will abandon Cersei and follow Jaime. Jaime will die heroically in saving Bran (as mentioned elsewhere).
The Greyjoys army will unite under Yara. Cersei and Euron will be ostracised, or possibly killed.
Danaerys will relinquish her crown to Jon Snow/Aegon Tagaryeon
The armies will all unite under the one true King and good will triumph over evil.
