Now, this being only early in the morning UK time, we're assuming you haven't had a chance to watch the episode yet – unless you stayed up all night of course. So we won't give anything away here.

But, suffice to say, you'll want to find a spare 69 minutes pretty sharpish if you want to enjoy it spoiler-free.

Just when you thought episode nine couldn't be topped, The Winds of Winter blew in.

But don't assume it tries to outdo a massive battle with the same old tricks. It's much more subtle than that.

Feels different, looks different.

Sounds different, too.

Even the writers themselves are blown away by what just happened.

Director Miguel Sapochnik made Battle of the Bastards and this? Sign him up for next year...

You'll definitely need longer that 69 minutes to take it all in.

But, you know, it's worth it.

Is it possible to hug a show?

There's just one tiny problem...
