Melisandre also turns up in Episode 2 of Game of Thrones Season 7. Along with his allegiance, Yara and Theon Greyjoy, Olenna Tyrell, and Dorne also join Team Daenerys. Varys manages to convince Daenerys he is for the people and not for the king or queen, thus saving his neck for the time being. As Daenerys asks Varys just where his allegiance lies, everyone else also needs to pick a side. While last week caught everyone up to speed on what was going on in Westeros after Cersei took the iron throne, Episode 2 of Game of Thrones Season 7 is all about negotiations. Please proceed with caution if you wish to avoid spoilers. SPOILER ALERT: This article reveals details about Episode 2 (titled "Stormborn") of Season 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones. Was Episode 2 any better? Let's find out. However, knowing that the farmer's decision to end his and his daughter's life is a direct result of the Hound's tyranny makes the sequence that much more uncomfortable.For many fans, the Season 7 premiere episode of Game of Thrones was a little lackluster as HBO set the scene for what would play out in the rest of the season. You could be forgiven for not remembering why he might be so reluctant to visit the frozen house and the two corpses within, but the suggestions play well enough even without the specifics – that the Hound has regrets is something we all know. While the Hound of today is a man trying to be better – he's even off the booze – in season four he was a scoundrel, and stole from the man that had provided for him. More subtle was the Hound's return to the house he and Arya took shelter in way back in season four's 'Breaker of Chains'.

The series has featured musicians before – members of Sigur Rós, Mastadon, and Coldplay to name but a few – but they've always been understated. We're supposed to be focused on Arya, and the almost inconceivable notion that she might have met some strangers in Westeros that aren't total bastards, but all we can see is the ubiquitous ginger head in the foreground.
Having Sheeran lead a campfire singalong amongst a group of soldiers is all well and good, but in giving him a line and – in particular – by keeping him in shot next to Arya for so long, it becomes incredibly distracting. Unfortunately, the episode then plays a resounding bum note with Ed Sheeran's cameo.

Having said that, with Tormund still lusting after Brienne in the North, the show continues to mine a reliably hilarious vein of comedy that shows absolutely no sign of running dry. The fast edits amusingly begin to blur the line between the stew he dishes out for dinner and the rancid nightsoil he pours away afterward, and if the sequence goes on a touch too long, it's at least a welcome change of pace for a show that's often extremely sombre. Speaking of comedy, it's rare that Game of Thrones plays anything so overtly for laughs as poor Samwell Tarly's excruciating daily routine at the Citadel in Old Town. At least his line about killing your brother ("you should try it!") led to a wonderful reaction shot from Jaime. The immersion is so strong that anything even slightly out of place in the production design sticks out like a sore thumb. He looks like a Topshop model, or a trendy biker, and it jars with the rest of this world, which is so completely believable at all times. Euron isn't a character that the series has spent any great time on, and while his fleet is intimidating, the costume they've put Pilou Asbaek in undermines him completely. If Lyanna is a latter-day character that people can't enough of, the same cannot be said for Euron Greyjoy, who turns up at King's Landing to offer his ships – and his hand – to Cersei Lannister.
