    I know Game of Thrones got a ton of hate after a while, but I loved the intros. They were unique to the setting where the episodes were going to take place.

    The worst intros are the long ones that never change, but are on every episode.

      The series went to shit, but the intros got me hooked from the very beginning (like, holy hell, what is this?) and I never skipped a single one, even at the end when I was pretty much done with it all.

      Also, remember the single episode that just started with the Hound? That was a trip, when you expect the music and map.

      They evolved to show the status of the elements on the map as events unfolded, it was honestly a really good subtle recap of major happenings up to that point in the story

        And helping people understand westeros. The geography was such an important part of the story, it was a great way to show a map without being boring.
