Season 7 Episode 4 was leaked online today around 6 am EST, from an HBO affiliate in India. The episode is set to air worldwide on Sunday evening @ 9 pm EST.
According to the file-sharing news website TorrentFreak, Game of Thrones has been the most-pirated TV series each year since 2012.
I've just watched it on primewire, t's the greatest episode of the show's history, thus far IMHO.

In unrelated news HBO was hacked earlier this week, the security breach allowed hackers to obtain 1.5 terabytes of stolen date from the company's American servers.

It was a good episode, but i'm not sure it makes the top 5 in the show's history. I'd have these above it:
Hardhome - S05E08 Baelor - S01E01 The Rains of Castamere - S03E09 The Door - S06E06 The Winds of Winter - S6E10
I think i'd probably put The Battle of the Bastards (S06E09) above the Spoils of War as well.

The most pirated show is quite popular evidenced by this... www.pornhub.com/insights/game-of-thrones-season-7The highly anticipated Game of Thrones Season 7 premiered on Sunday July 16, so our friends at Cinema Blend checked in to see what effect it had on Pornhub’s traffic during the first episode. Our statisticians found that across the United States, traffic to Pornhub was down by 4.5% during the airing. That’s a considerable change in visitors as Sunday night is one of the most popular times for people to visit Pornhub.

I'm a pretty big GoT dork - I've read the books, read a lot of speculation/fan theories, etc. I've greatly enjoyed this season but am frustrated with the pace. They trimmed the season from 10 episodes to 7 because they were concerned with quality, supposedly, but now they're cutting corners and fast traveling every chance they get?
*spoiler alert*
The pacing has been ridiculous. Jon Snow apparently has a space ship or can just warp through green tunnels like Mario. Part of what has made the series so great is the journeys the central characters have went on, but since the show runners don't have source material but rather just a plot outline, apparently they're not going to fill the gaps - just straight to the point.
Also, can we point out just how insanely stupid the whole "let's capture a wight" plan really was? Risk the lives of some of your most important people for the chance at capturing a wight and hopefully avoiding all our war with the Others, just so you can take it to Cersei and *hope* you can convince her to give you some troops? You don't even need them! You had three boinking dragons and an island of dragonglass at your disposal!
Oh, and the Arya/Sansa plot line has gone completely off the rails. Wtf are they doing with Arya?
And Bran? He can see the future and past but apparently is only interested in chilling in Winterfell. Or so I assume. We've seen him like all of ten minutes this season.
Don't get me wrong - love the show and am as into it as ever, but I've definitely been a little frustrated with this season. It's be cool if GRRM would release WoW to fill some of these gaps, but I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever even see another book...

The Door and Battle of the Bastards are probably 1A and 1B for me. I was in genuine shock with the Hodor reveal. It was the first time I had been shocked by anything in the series since reading the Red Wedding in SoS. I'd also rank the Mountain vs the Viper in my top 5 episodes, whatever the episode title was. Probably my favorite passage from the books to date, and the scene from the show definitely did the book justice. Loot Train was a great episode, but God, what a stupid name for a battle.
