Super OT: Let's Talk Season 7 of GoT

Submitted by FauxMo on

Hey man, people are asking who the best Spiderman is, and whether Iron Man was better than Captain America or some shit, so this can't be the most OT thing ever...

Season 7 of Game of Thrones starts in 6 days. The show is now officially well past the books, so it's really all guess work at this point. But they have released titles and descriptions of the first three new episodes: 

 

"Episode #61 - Dragonstone: Jon (Kit Harington) organizes the defense of the North. Cersei (Lena Headey) tries to even the odds. Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) comes home.

Episode #62 - Stormborn: Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) receives an unexpected visitor. Jon (Kit Harington) faces a revolt. Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) plans the conquest of Westeros.

Episode #63 - The Queen's Justice: Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) holds court. Cersei (Lena Headey) returns a gift. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) learns from his mistakes."

 

So we know in the first new episode, we get something that's been building since the show premiered - Daenerys coming home to Westeros - which should be pretty cool. The episode title of "Dragonstone" implies that this is where she lands and sets up shop, an island just off the coast from King's Landing (the old Baratheon spot, and before that, the original home of the Targaryens. Cersei trying to "even the odds" would seem to imply she is taking steps to build alliances against Daenerys, but with who? She has no friends left in Westeros. 

In the second episode, we seem to get some kind of discord in Winterfell (which seems to be conflict between Sansa and Jon, probably inspired by Littlefinger), and Tyrion (seemingly in Westeros too) planning the conquest.

The third new episode description is the most mysterious - Daenerys "holding court" could mean a lot, but probably involves her having a substantial foothold on Westeros (maybe beyond Dragonstone), and meeting with some of the great houses to build alliances. Cersei "returning a gift" would seem to imply direct commuication between she and Daenerys, which should be interesting to say the least. Lastly, Jamie "learning from his mistakes" could mean a lot, but I think it sets the tone for him breaking with his sister, and maybe even plotting against her. She's officially power mad and batshit crazy, and Jamie isn't the villian of old; he's older, wiser and kinder.
