Talkin' Thrones Episode 61 - Dragonstone (Season 7 Premiere)

We're in the home stretch people! We're officially onto the final 13 episodes of our very long Talkin' Thrones recap series! We started this season back in April of last year while the pandemic was still in semi-full effect because we wanted to take the chance to break down every minute of one of the biggest and best shows of the last decade and figure out what went wrong. Well, we've reached the point where it all really started to go wrong, but the most surprising thing is that this season at least still holds up surprisingly well! After two seasons that, while filled with some awesome action packed moments that raised the scale of the show quite a bit, for the most part felt like they were dragging their feet, Season 7 launches us right into the action, and combined with the fact that it's the only season that aired in the summer, felt like an action blockbuster of sorts. Jon attempts to rally the north to be ready for the coming attack from the White Walkers, Bran makes it back to the Wall, Arya carries out the final bit of revenge, Cersei makes new allies, Sam learns that being a maester is not all its cracked up to be, and Daenerys finally comes home. It's a gangbusters premiere to lead up to an action packed season, on this week's episode of Talkin' Thrones!
