They stretched out the Dragonstone scene enough that by the end I was almost convinced that Stannis was going to be waiting behind the last door. Fuckers.

Some of you piss ants have a fucking low threshold for amazement. It was a fine opening episode but nothing worthy of praise just yet.

It was a great opening for GoT which typically opens slow as fuck and slow builds over the course of the season. Probably the best ep1 they've ever made. That's not saying much. It's usually at least 2-3 episodes of build up before any payoff whatsoever so having payoff in the pre-title scene was great.
But of course they said it was going to be full speed right out the gates, so we expected it to be to epic, and honestly I think you are right, it was just "alright". I expected more pay off tbh.
edit: Overall had lots of story advancement and emotional build up with very little dialogue and only 1 "hotdamn" moment (arya's opening scene)
Did a good job of grounding the story and building up emotional connections for later payoffs. The hound/BwoB scene (they're pretty much all going to die this season), Arya's soldier scene you can already tell is building up to a redemption arc for Arya (won't be a heartless killer for the rest of her days).
The Samwell scene was just humorous enough to get through the montage without distracting from the overall story and it advances the boring storyline of "your a wizard now harry" the swiftest way possible and gets the info sent to the right people.

Off to a good start. Now that we are out of book land there are no more spoilers. Ser Friendzone gonna get some cure this season? Octopod going to show us his secret moves?

I wouldn't be surprised if Arya's finale is she sails West. She had that throw away line about no one knows wtf is in the western sea, so after her murder spree ends, maybe she decides to ditch Westeros and sail off. Maybe Jaq'uen joins her. I wouldn't be surprised if he is secretly keeping tabs on Arya during all of this, since she is basically running around with a pretty OP assassin skillset.

I thought the implication was quite clear that the gift would be Danaerys and Tyrion's head.
