I like the new opening.  It still shows the locations, but shows new details of places we already know, like winterfell and Kings Landing.

1st two episodes have been a bit slow.  The "drinking around the fire" scenes kinda seemed like filler, or maybe just a little breather before the big battle and before a bunch of these characters die.  It's obvious there's not much left to the story.  The only thing left in the story is the battle with the White Walkers, and then whatever battle/maneuver comes to determine who the final person to sit on the Iron Throne.

The most obvious end to this series is Jon/Dearnyrs's forces beating the Walkers somehow and then getting hitched and ruling the 7 Kingdoms together while removing Cersei somehow.  Jon and blondie had sex in the 1st episode of season 8, which will give time for Deanyrs to realize she is pregnant with Jon's baby and heir by the end of the series.

I would prefer a more unexpected ending.  One of the the things the show has yet to reveal is the identity of the human from long ago who the Children of the Forest turned into the Night King but stabbing him in the heart with dragonglass.  It would be cool if the White Walkers kill Jon & blondie, make their way towards Kings Landing, Bran enters the mind of a dragon (with blondie dead) and slows them down.

Meanwhile, Arya gets her revenge on Cersei by killing her, and somebody else finally stabs the Night King with dragonglass, defeating the White Walkers, and turning the Night King back into human form, and we finally learn his real identity, and he turns out to be some nice dude who has claim to the Iron Throne.
