Iron v. Dragon: Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 1: Dragonstone (HBO)
Well, here we are, another season (or half-season) of HBO”s Game of Thrones has started and this week’s episode was mostly about the build-up of sides in what appears to be a forthcoming epic battle between the Iron Throne and what I will assume is the (oddly less impressive) Dragon Throne (Dragonstone was the traditional home of the Targaryens way back in the day).
To recap from the end of Season 6, Team Iron Throne has (because Cersei) lost some of their most important traditional allies while team Dragon has gained the help of Dorne, many followers of Theon and Yara Greyjoy, and the Tyrell’s (perhaps the most significant because they have traditionally supplied food to King’s Landing).
So what happened in the Season 7 Premiere?
Mostly this episode was concerned with drawing up battle lines and checking maps. I won’t talk about it much, but Daenerys arrival at Dragonstone was pretty epic.
Remember, if you haven’t watched Season 7 Episode 1 of Game of Thrones *Spoiler Alert*
