Talkin' Thrones Episode 64 - The Spoils of War

With the vastly shortened season, we hit the midpoint a lot sooner than I thought, and boy is it a doozy. Building off the monumental events of last weeks episode, "The Spoils of War" is an interesting case, because its the next in a line of steps that Benioff & Weiss were taking to further the pacing of the show than they ever had before, with the next stage in the war for Westeros occuring when Daenerys hears of the fall of Highgarden, which leads her riding Drogon to overpower Jaime Lannister's forces with a Dothraki horde, as a show of what she is truly capable of if she were to focus all her power on taking Westeros. It's an interesting perspective they take, presenting Daenerys on the offensive front and keeping the battle focused from Jaime's perspective, showing what perceived power versus real power really looks like. The Starks are also officially reunited with Arya returning to Winterfell, reuniting with Sansa & Bran, sparring with Brienne and causing Littlefinger more anguish. Jon also attempts to further convince Daenerys of the threat from the North, but to no avail, and is unexpectedly reunited with Theon. We're getting closer and closer to the final six episodes, be sure to keep tuning in every Friday for more #talkinthrones
