The return of Game of Thrones after a two-year absence got off to a slow start, with a procession by Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen back to Winterfell reminiscent of when we met Robert Baratheon back in Season 1. By the end, we were on the edge of our seats as Brandon Stark stares down Jaime Lannister in the square.

I, for one, was just happy that the show was finally back on the air. It’s one of the few things in life that gives me great joy.

I wish these characters good fortune in the wars to come.
