I have never seen Game of Thrones but my wife just begged me to spend $35 so she could watch the last season on HBO. I capitulated.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I suggest cancel cable HBO
You can watch the 1st episode on Sunday for free due to HBONOW streaming promotion for new customers
After a week, just 15.00 bucks a month for HBONOW streaming.
I suggest binging on the 1st 6 seasons before watching season 7
or
At least watch last episode of season 6
I have HBONOW streaming set up on my large screen tv

i have no interest in watching the show. My wife likes to have them recorded at the house. With HBONOW can she watch them on demand?

Yes, you can watch any episode anywhere anytime.
Once episode 1 of season 8 is shown, going forward, you can watch that episode anywhere, anytime
Its cheaper, not going thru a 3rd party, cable company , that wants its cut. HBONOW, dealing directly with HBO
Its what got me through my latest hospital stay, HBONOW on my phone
Of course I use my giant TV at home.
Sometimes I watch it on my phone at the poker room as I wait for a seat

I saw a little of it, it's just soft porn.
Gratuitous violence and sex crap.

It's soft porn, nudity and sex and
torture and violence. That crap
has never appealed to me.

I took an hour out of my Vegas trip to watch the premiere tonight and....

It was pretty boring.

Not a great episode but it had some good moments
Bran cutting to the chase after the greetings
Samwell being told his father and brother were executed. Pretty powerful
Jon Snow finding out he is not a bastard

I thought the dragon ride was a waste of time not furthering the plot

Bran and the kingslayer lock eyes for the 1st time since season 1
Interesting ending. I think Bran will take the high road knowing they need the Kingslayers help in the big war

:-(
Another slow episode as everybody waits for the invasion
Next episode better rock because
I consider these 1st 2 episodes some of the weakest of the series
