As every opener should, the pieces are set into place for the grand chessboard ahead of another game of rival strategies. The influence of the White Walkers finally becomes prevalent, though it has always stood as one of the most interesting narrative elements, yet has thus far proven underdeveloped. Tyrion and his familial relationship continues to grow, as does Jon and his role in relation to the Monarchy. Whilst this may be far from the most eventful episode, as last season's penultimate outing was, it sets everything in stone well, but fails to make Danny's dire dragon story anything better than silly.
