episode \'Blood of My Blood\' that airs in the UK tonight (Monday, May 30).

The previews and the promo photos for \'Blood of My Blood\' promised us a showdown we\'ve been waiting for, but that\'s not exactly what we got.

With Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) ready to face off against the High Sparrow after more than a season of feuding and Arya (Maisie Williams) torn over whether she should kill Lady Crane (Essie Davis) and take her place among the Faceless Men, this week\'s episode should have been great.

Instead, it felt a bit more like a filler episode. Here\'s what you thought of it.

Game of Thrones just welcomed back a pretty big player

The show didn\'t get off to a great start by reminding viewers of Hodor\'s death:

I can\'t believe they made me watch Hodor hold the door again. TOO SOON. WE ALL REMEMBER. YOu don\'t need to remind us. #GameofThrones

WHY WOULD YOU MAKE US RE LIVE HODORS DEATH DURING THE PREVIEWS I AM CRYING AGAIN FUUUU #GameofThrones  #HoldTheDoor

Yeah THANKS FOR REMINDING US OF HOW YOU EMOTIONALLY MURDERED US LAST WEEK, #GameOfThrones!

Sam and Gilly are seriously the sweetest. Which is why they\'ll probably end up dying brutally because this is #GameofThrones

It\'s time for Margaery Tyrell to show us what she\'s made of:

Lest we forget, if Maergery is anything like her grandmother, she knows well how to play the #GameofThrones

If you don\'t think that Margaery Tyrell is the best actress in Westeros then you crazier than Lysa Tully #GoTs6 #GameofThrones

Margaery Tyrell is a master of the long con. They should put her in that all-female Ocean\'s Eleven. #GameofThrones

Even the High Sparrow believes her. WELL PLAYED, MARGAERY. #GameofThrones

And it only took FIVE SEASONS but Benjen Stark made a much-wanted return to the show (maybe):

COME THROUGH (PERSON WHO I THINK IS) BENJEN STARK#GameofThrones

IT IS. OMG. BENJEN STARK LIVES!!! #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/qi7aqlFLYi

Is that?! Could it be? Uncle #Benjen?! #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/PPSWZjq0dG

If that\'s Benjen Stark then honestly all my questions have been answered and I can die happy. #GameofThrones

Everyone was hoping Arya will tap into her dark side:

I feel like Arya is about to become the Dexter Morgan of #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/1exe4kVTqS

Right up until she decided to choose her family instead:

Once a Stark, always a Stark. Run, Arya, run! #GameofThrones

Arya is back more than we could have dreamed. #GameofThrones

Arya wants to stay a Stark. Good for her. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/qzvSphwRzA

DAMNIT TOMMEN WHY CANT YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT #GameofThrones

Tommen. Poor stupid, naive Tommen. Becoming another Baelor the Blessed I see. Someone doesn\'t know their history too well #GameofThrones

I literally just screamed DROGON at my tv 😱 and she\'s riding him 🐲🔥 ahh this episode is SO GOOD!! 🔥 #GameofThrones #BloodofmyBlood

Drogon is magnificent, and Daenerys is coming into her own in such an amazing way. #GameofThrones

I\'d like to congratulate HBO on the most boring thrones episode to date. #GameofThrones

There are too many characters and plot lines to have to waste so much time not advancing the story, #GameofThrones

best part of that episode was the preview for next week. too much pointless meandering with these storylines #GameofThrones

Today\'s #GameofThrones was underwhelming compared to all the past episodes #nospoilers

Some weeks it’s nice to have a #GameofThrones episode where nobody dies… #GoTAtlantic pic.twitter.com/08yj9FwZXL

everything is slowly coming together on #GameofThrones and I have never been more excited to see what\'s next
