Critics Consensus

"Eastwatch" traded the fiery spectacle of Thrones' previous episode for a slow-burn approach, but nonetheless delivered some spectacular revelations and reunions.

It has been fascinating to watch this season as "Game of Thrones" has taken Randyll Tarly (James Faulkner), a character we knew mostly for his cruel treatment of Samwell Tarly (John Bradley), and turned him into a figure of complicated sympathy.

Also - does this mean that we've seen the last of Cersei with a glass of wine in her hand? Or do you just throw caution to the wind on that front if you're already giving birth to a child of incest?

4/5

Season 7 has set up some incredibly high expectations about what makes a great episode of Game of Thrones, and while I'm tempted to say "Eastwatch" was just ok, it's worth remembering what we would have given to have seen Gendry three seasons ago.

It's particularly effective because it was overall another strong episode. No, there were no massive battles or vanquished armies, but instead the story was propelled forward by solid writing and outstanding performances.

"Eastwatch" was very interested in dropping hints that round out the family history of the other Last Targaryen.

Written by Dave Hill, and directed by Matt Shakman, it's Season 7's last table-setting episode! And the silverware had quite a shine.
