The first episode is always pretty stock, they are traditionally used it to set the scene.

Having said that, I can’t help feel like it’s rushed. There may only be 6 episodes left with a lot to get through, but they don’t have to be exactly an hour. I don’t want more things to be covered, I just would have preferred that the interactions in the scenes were a bit more in depth as opposed to the 2 to 3 lines before moving on. There were some big reunions in there and it Feels like they are just ticking boxes which sort of cheapens the seasons of build up. Ever since the series over took the books, the dialogue and script has suffered.
