Game of Thrones is back on HBO, with a Season 7 premiere, 'Dragonstone,' that brings the Long Winter of Westeros right to our doorstep. As our various plot threads start to weave together, I've decided to break down episodes by House or affiliation to track how they'll all converge and leave no potential Thrones theory or clue uncovered. Let's go Sam Tarly on this episode:

Download Game of Thrones [Season 7 Episode 1] – Dragonstone Dragonstone “ Dragonstone ” is the first episode of the seventh season of HBO’s fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 61st overall. Jul 16, 2017  Season 7, Episode 1 Dragonstone First Aired: July 16, 2017 In the Season 7 premiere, Jon organizes the defense of the North, but Sansa is concerned that his sole focus on.

House Frey (or: Arya's possibilities are endless)

The episode opens on something we've been waiting for since Season 3's Red Wedding, when House Frey teamed with House Lannister to take out Robb Stark's army and hold poor Edmure Tully hostage. Walder Frey appears, making us believe we're in a flashback, but there are hints of suspicious activity: this is second feast in a fortnight, the members of House Frey are treated to Arbor Gold wine (a.k.a. wine made in the Arbor, perhaps the best place to live in Westeros), and the speech subs 'stand together' for the full 'We Stand Together,' believed to be the house motto. As Walder's speech turns to how they should have 'pulled the root' off the Stark line when they slaughtered the mother of five children, Arya reveals herself and the Freys sputter blood and die.

You probably remember where we last saw Arya Stark, smiling over a dying Walder Frey in the finale of Season 6. This season, it looks like the Faceless Men also have some sort of magical way of changing body shape, because that was David Bradley reprising his face-role as zombie Walder Frey. The eldest and grossest member of House Frey was not an Arya-Stark-sized person, and when we've previously seen Arya take on new faces, at least the body proportion added up. Rule-breaking, or power-demonstration? Whatever the case, this season, Arya -- or any Faceless Men left to be revealed -- could literally become anyone. I wonder if Arya saves those faces, and how long they keep outside of a (temperature-controlled?) Hall For Faces.

The Army of the Dead (or: doomsday is on the horizon)

From a large snowstorm emerges the Night King, leading the Army of the Dead south toward The Wall. We can see three giant wights, a new and terrifying prospect for the faction, but we initially don't see any indication of exactly where they are. Later in the episode, Jon speculates that the closest place to breach The Wall from Hardhome is the castle Eastwatch-By-The-Sea, one of many Castles built along The Wall that are supposed to be manned by The Night's Watch, but have been abandoned as The Watch dwindled back to Castle Black.

Eastwatch-By-The-Sea has played a larger part in the Song of Ice and Fire novels up to this point -- it's where Stannis garrisoned before coming to Castle Black, where Melisandre had a vision, where a few members of the Night’s Watch are still stationed, and where the Hardhome rescue boats launched from, as Castle Black had no ships or port -- but this is the first time the show has set up the location, and for what appears to be Season 7's major conflict: a clash with the Army of the Dead at the abandoned castle. But this is the first time the show has set up what appears to be the major conflict of Season 7: a clash with the Army of the Dead at Eastwatch-By-The-Sea. That is, if we believe what The Hound sees in the flames later in the episode.

The Night's Watch (or: is The Wall really that strong?)

In the A Song of Ice and Fire books, there are more details about the magic that defends The Wall from the dead than there are in the show. From the show, we've only recently learned from Wight Benjen (aka Coldhands), when he dropped off Meera and Bran near the base, that the defensive structure is bound by an enchantment that prevents the dead from crossing. We assume that since Benjen also had a dragonglass shard in his heart like the Night King, this rule applies to White Walkers as well. But here's the twist: Bran, being an inexperienced Three-Eyed Raven, entered a dream where The Night King marked him, allowing the army of the dead to cross into the Weirwood Tree fort. Expect this method to be how The Night King weakens The Wall magic, if not outright destroy it.

This week, Edd, now acting Lord Commander with Jon out of the Night's Watch picture, meets Bran and Meera outside The Wall. Bran tells him the Night King is coming -- knowing with his psychic powers that Edd was at the Fist and Hardhome -- and Edd decides that's good enough to bring Bran inside. If we just saw the magic seal of The Wall being broken by someone marked by the Night King crossing it, it happened with very little fanfare.

House Umber and House Karstark (or: why everyone at Winterfell was screaming)

Remember these two lesser houses of the North from earlier in the series? Both Stark Bannermen houses rallied behind Robb Stark in the War of the Five Kings, but in season three when Robb was making poor life decisions, he beheaded Lord Rickard Karstark after he murdered two Lannister children in the dungeons of Riverrun. Greatjon Umber dies at the Red Wedding, leaving Smalljon Umber in charge of the house when Rickon, Shaggy Dog, and Osha flee to Last Hearth (and House Umber) in Season 3. This all comes to bite the Starks in the direwolf butt when, in Season 6, House Karstark pledges loyalty to the Boltons and Smalljon Umber makes a deal with Ramsay that leads to the death of Rickon, Shaggy Dog, and Osha. On the bright side, we saw Tormund end the life of Smalljon Umber in the Battle of the Bastards, and this week we learn that Herald Karstark also died at the Battle of the Bastards, off-screen.

These two Houses of the North are at the basis for the first spat between Sansa Stark and newly anointed King of the North, Jon Snow. Jon knows the two castles of the family, Last Hearth (Umber) and Karhold (Karstark) are the furthest North and will be important if The Wall is breached. Sansa thinks that since the majority of House Karstark and Umber have been wiped out and because their previous heads of house betrayed the Stark name and sided with Ramsay Bolton (no mention of poor Rickon, who could not run serpentine) that new Houses should take over the castles. Right in front of all the North, Jon takes a stand saying that he will not punish the sons and daughters of old houses for the actions of their fathers.

At the end of the deliberation scene, we're introduced to young Ned Umber and young red-headed Alys Karstark who both take the knee and re-pledge fealty to House Stark, maintaining their claims over the houses and lands of Last Hearth and Karhold.

House Stark (or: bastard and sister are in-fighting)

For now, we'll put Jon Snow in the category of 'House Stark' until his true parentage is revealed to other characters in the show. We find Jon leading Winterfell in his usual way: a single focused gaze on his goal that often makes him blind to the feelings of those around him. Proscan plt7777g-q firmware download. Sansa has matured into a Southern Westeros political mind, and the contrast between the two styles of leadership causes immediate friction.

Jon values honor on an individual scale where Sansa would probably value winning over all else. This becomes clear when Jon receives a raven from King's Landing, telling him to bend the knee to new Queen Cersei, and Sansa, with a certain amount of reverence, describes how Cersei doesn't stop until she kills all of her enemies. Sansa says she's learned a 'great deal' from the queen, and that Jon is too obsessed with the Night King (worth noting: everyone agrees on the name of this previously unseen uber-threat -- is it in the Westeros Encyclopedia Britannica?) to see her as a threat. Jon thinks 'The north needs to band together, all the living north,' and is sure the Lannisters won't march North now that winter has come.

Sansa is also keeping Littlefinger around so she can control the Knights of the Vale while being very certain that Littlefinger is continuing to lust after her. It's not in either of these character's past histories to act past each other like this, so I'm wondering if both Sansa and Littlefinger are playing a longer game of trust-chicken that Sansa isn't willing to share with Brienne.

House Lannister (or: a subtle spoiler for the future)

Cersei has her map, and Jaimie is skeptical about a Euron, alliance, but the biggest insight about House Lannister actually comes from that Ed Sheeran cameo. Arya happens across a group of Lannister soldiers while traveling south to King's Landing to continue crossing people off her Murder List. The soldiers offer her some rabbit and we spend a few minutes with them humanizing the smaller folk of Game of Thrones. Notably, one soldier points out all the things he wanted to see in King's Landing, but was disappointed by and included 'The Dragon Pit' which we haven't had mentioned on the show before, but will be, mark my words, the location of a key event in one of the final episodes of this season.

House Greyjoy (no: Euron makes big promises)

Yara and Theon were no-shows this week, but Euron Greyjoy sails into King's Landing with the Iron Fleet he talked about amassing last season. Basically, he wants Cersei to marry him so they can all kill their families together. True love.
This does not impress Jaime, who mentions the 'Greyjoy Rebellion,' where Euron burned part of Casterly Rock (in the books, it was specifically Lannisport, home to the official seat of House Lannister, but here is just Casterly Rock) and that brazen act lead to his banishment from the Iron Islands (only to return and kill Balon Greyjoy, his brother, which we saw last season). That doesn't line up with the books, where Balon Greyjoy banished Euron because Euron had raped and impregnated the third Greyjoy brother Victarion's wife. Probably better to name-check Casterly Rock, a new an inevitable stop on the Season 7 ride.

Euron and Jaime verbally spar, but none of it seems to sway Cersei, who concludes Euron cannot be trusted. The Greyjoy takes this better than expected, and vows to return to King's Landing with a gift for the Queen that will convince her to take him as a husband. My guess: he's either taking the action to Ellaria and her Sand Snakes or the Tullys. Good money is on the Sand Snakes having a bad couple of weeks in the future.

The Brothers Without Banners (or: spoilers in the fire)

Last season, this roaming group of soldiers picked up a reluctant Hound who learned the hard way that building churches was no good for a man of violence. This week, we continue the Hound's character growth by returning to the peasant house where Sandor Clegane and Arya met a farmer and his daughter (in Season 4, Episode 3, to be exact). That confrontation ended with The Hound stealing money from the peasants because they were weak and wouldn't survive winter. Bad news: he was right.

The man killed his daughter while they were starving, according to Beric Dondarrion, and this revelation of meaningless causes Sandor to question god. Not one of the Seven -- RIP High Sparrow -- but R'Hllor the Red Fire God that both Thoros and (absent) Melisandre worship. The Hound receives a direct answer to his existential quandary from the flames. He sees the Army of the Dead (thousands of them) passing a mountain that looks like an arrowhead (Fist of the First Men) on their way to a castle by the sea (Eastwatch-By-The-Sea). Now that the Hound knows there is a god and that god wants Sandor Clegane, he gets all regretful and decides to bury the two peasants he damned two seasons prior.

House Tarly-ish (or: Oldtown poop duty)

Eventually, this will become a section for House Tarly as Sam decides to re-enter the conflict at large, but this episode… it's shit. As a maester in training, Sam has the bottom rung job at the Citadel, serving food and cleaning up people's feces that are deposited in surprisingly similar looking bowls. This is one of the first time Game of Thrones employed a montage to pass the time -- Oldtown makes history with fecal matter!

The cool thing is that Oldtown poop duty is ripe with plot connections and Easter Eggs. First, we get introduced to Jim Broadbent as an Archmaester, who lays down some facts on Sam -- namely that without The Citadel and record keeping, humanity would be like dogs unable to remember past their last meal. 'We are this world's memory,' he says. This comforts the Archmaester, who, unlike Sam, is not as worried about the upcoming Long Night and White Walker invasion. He name checks Robert's Rebellion (the war that put Robert on the Throne that precedes the series) and further back, Aegon's Conquest of the Seven Kingdoms, that lead to the Targaryen rule. He's mentioning them as major points where people were worried it was the end of the world that inevitably ended up being just a big change. Basically Arch Maester is #Unimpressed by everything that isn't dead Maester Weyland's liver.

No major Catspaw revelations here, I squinted HARD so you don't have to. pic.twitter.com/nL8gl5GPnU

After Sam sneaks 'Legends of the Long Night and Other Dr. Seuss Stories' out of the forbidden corner of the school library, he gets to drop more Easter Egg knowledge to Gilly and a significantly older looking Little Sam. Big Sam learns that there's a mountain of Dragonglass under Dragonstone, the ancestral home of the Targaryens, which he recalls (from Season 5, Episode 5) Stannis telling him about it -- so he writes to Jon. Interestingly for show watchers, Sam flips through a page that pictures the Catspaw Dagger, a dagger we haven't heard named, but have seen before: formerly Littlefinger's weapon of choice before it fell into Lannister hands, the Catspaw was used by Bran Stark's attempted assassin in Season 1.

Why it's in a book about dragonglass we don't know -- is it possible it's a Valyrian steel dagger with dragonglass decoration made by the Targaryens? I'm going to say yes.

House Mormont (or: did you recognize that shadowy profile?)

Sam's biggest discovery at Oldtown isn't even one he's realized yet. One of his duties, it seems, is collecting empty food bowls from the sick, including one cell holding a Greyscale-ridden man asking Sam if the Dragon Queen had arrived yet. This is, of course, Ser Jorah Mormont.

House Mormont also gets a feminism shout out as young Lady Mormont absolutely schools the head of House Glover who scoffs at putting a spear in his granddaughter's hand. Every man, woman, and CHILD will be trained to fight on Bear Island, says Westeros' tiniest badass (yes, even in an episode where Arya killed all the Freys).

House Targaryen (or: taking us places you probably forgot we've been before)

You'd be forgiven if you thought 'Dragonstone' was a new location when it shows up in this episode. When Stannis previously inhabited it (hence the flaming stag banner shot that made it into the Season 7 trailer), we didn't see much of the exterior of Dragonstone. We did see the map room (where the smoke baby was conceived) and we've seen some of the quarters where Team Stannis stayed between the defeat at Blackwater and their departure to the Iron Bank of Bravvos (then to The Wall and their doom, alas). We've also seen some of the dungeons of Dragonstone, thanks to Gendry and Davos's short stays there.

This season of Game of Thrones, we're going to see more of Dragonstone as it becomes Dany's seat for her conquest of Westeros. That means a lot of exposition in other people's scenes about how Dragonstone is the seat of the Targaryens, where Daenerys was born (during a horrible storm, hence Daenerys Stormborn) and how they were run out before Stannis took then abandoned it. All of that was important to build up the emotion of Dany's silent tour of expensive new Dragonstone sets. All those sets are no investment mistake; It might end up rivalling Winterfell in how many interesting character meetings are set there in the next couple of weeks. But, of course, this is all just the beginning.

'Dragonstone' is the seventh season premiere episode of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 61st overall. It was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Jeremy Podeswa.

The episode's main plot focuses on Daenerys Targaryen's long-awaited homecoming to Dragonstone with her vast forces, and Cersei and Jaime Lannister treating with Euron Greyjoy for an alliance after the demise of House Frey.

'Dragonstone' received positive reviews from critics, who considered Arya's revenge on House Frey, Sandor Clegane's atonement for his old life, and Daenerys's dramatic homecoming to Dragonstone as highlights of the episode. However, a cameo appearance by singer Ed Sheeran received some criticism. In the United States, the episode achieved a viewership of 10.11 million in its initial broadcast.

This episode marks the final appearance for David Bradley (Walder Frey).

Plot[edit]

In the Riverlands[edit]

Disguised as Walder Frey, Arya Stark kills all the men of House Frey with poisoned wine, avenging the Red Wedding ('The Rains of Castamere'). Arya proceeds south to assassinate Queen Cersei Lannister, and makes camp with friendly Lannister soldiers.

Sandor Clegane and the Brotherhood without Banners take shelter in the farm Sandor once robbed ('Breaker of Chains'); the farmer and his daughter are long dead inside. Beric Dondarrion admits he does not know why he has been repeatedly resurrected. Thoros of Myr shows Sandor a vision in the flames of White Walkers at a point where the Wall meets the sea. At night, Sandor buries the bodies. Discovering him, Thoros helps.

Beyond the Wall[edit]

Bran Stark and Meera Reed arrive at the Wall. Eddison Tollett lets them in. Meanwhile, the White Walkers and wights march south.

At Winterfell[edit]

Despite Sansa Stark's objections, Jon Snow forgives Alys Karstark and Ned Umber for their fathers' betrayals, and they swear loyalty to House Stark. Jon orders Tormund Giantsbane and the wildlings to fortify the Wall at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, and all Northerners to train for battle. Jon is frustrated that Sansa questioned his actions, but Sansa doesn't want Jon to repeat the mistakes for which Ned and Robb Stark died. A message from Cersei orders Jon to swear loyalty to her; Jon believes her army poses no threat to them during winter, but Sansa disagrees.

Sansa rejects Littlefinger's attempts to ingratiate himself with her. She tells Brienne of Tarth that she can't dismiss him because they need the Vale's military support.

In King's Landing[edit]

Cersei learns that Daenerys Targaryen will return to Westeros soon, and realizes she and Jaime Lannister have very few allies. Euron Greyjoy arrives in King's Landing offering Cersei an alliance and marriage. Cersei rejects Euron because he is untrustworthy, but Euron promises to win her over with a priceless gift.

In Oldtown[edit]

Archmaester Ebrose denies Samwell Tarly access to the library's restricted area; Ebrose believes in the White Walkers, but trusts the Wall will halt their march. Sam manages to enter the restricted area and steals a few books. He learns of a dragonglass deposit under Dragonstone, and informs Jon.

Sam encounters Jorah Mormont, who is a patient in isolation due to his greyscale. Jorah asks if Daenerys has arrived in Westeros, but Sam doesn't know.

On Dragonstone[edit]

Daenerys and her fleet arrive at Dragonstone, and she and her advisors enter the castle. She then starts planning the upcoming war.

Production[edit]

Writing[edit]

'Dragonstone' was written by the series' creators, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. The conversation between Jon Snow and Sansa Stark shows Sansa's lingering resentment that she has been insufficiently credited for securing the alliance with the Vale, and also highlights Jon and Sansa's respective, differing identification of the White Walkers and Cersei as primary threats.^[1] The dialogue between Jaime and Cersei emphasizes that, with her children dead, Cersei is morally unconstrained and lacks Daenerys's concern for innocents.^[2] The writers deliberately excluded dialogue from the scene of Daenerys's arrival at Dragonstone, to preserve the gravitas of that moment.^[3]

Casting[edit]

'Dragonstone' saw the introduction of Jim Broadbent as Archmaester Ebrose at the Citadel. His casting in the series was initially announced by HBO to Entertainment Weekly in August 2016, and at the time was only revealed as a 'significant' role in the seventh season.^[4][5] In a subsequent interview, Broadbent revealed his role in the series, and that he would be sharing his scenes with John Bradley, who portrays Samwell Tarly.^[6]

Prior to the episode airing, it was announced that musician Ed Sheeran would be making a cameo appearance at some point during the season. According to David Benioff, they had been trying for years to get him onto the show as a surprise for Maisie Williams, who portrays Arya Stark in the series and is a fan of Sheeran.^[7][8] Before the episode's official release, Sheeran stated about his appearance that 'Nothing exciting happens in this scene, we just have a conversation and that's kind of it.'^[7] In 'Dragonstone', Sheeran portrays a Lannister soldier, who Arya happens upon when she hears him singing a song that is unfamiliar to her. The song originates from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series, which the television series is adapted from, and is titled 'Hands of Gold'.^[9] In the book series, it is sung by a character known as Symon Silver Tongue, a character unrelated to Sheeran's portrayal.^[9]

Filming[edit]

'Dragonstone' was directed by Jeremy Podeswa. He joined the series as a director in the fifth season, his first episode being 'Kill the Boy', which was followed by 'Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken', for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.^[10][11] He further directed two more episodes in the series' sixth season, and also directed the seventh season's finale episode.^[12][13] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter following the airing of 'Dragonstone', Podeswa discussed his experience with directing Ed Sheeran's cameo appearance, stating 'He was lovely to work with. He was lovely on the show. I think he fit right into that world.'^[14] He continued by noting that Sheeran requested to change the key of the song that he performs in the scene during the episode's filming.^[14]

Podeswa also discussed his direction for the cold open, saying he wanted to 'honor the great writing', and praised Maisie Williams and David Bradley's performance as Arya Stark and Walder Frey respectively, stating 'As we got more into it, you knew the audience would have questions coming right into the scene, knowing Walder Frey is dead. So, what is this? Is it a flashback? Is there something else going on here? It's about playing that line of audience surprise and curiosity and how they read the scene. David's performance is so fantastic where there's a moment you can almost feel Arya inside of him. It's even before the dialogue betrays who he is.'^[14] The scene was not written as a cold open; Benioff and Weiss made that decision on the strength of Bradley's work.^[15] Following the cold open, Podeswa also spoke about directing the opening scene following the title sequence, revealing 'We knew it would be one shot. Nothing fancy in terms of camerawork. But it's a shot that very slowly reveals itself over time, and we take that time. Then it was a matter of me conceptualizing it with the storyboard artists and visual effects department.'^[14] Podeswa also stated that the scene ending on the eye of the giant wight was not originally in the script, but came from working with the art department for the series.^[14]

Game Of Thrones Season Wiki

Benioff and Weiss praised Rory McCann's acting in showing the torment and guilt experienced by Sandor Clegane; Weiss identified Clegane's discovery of the farm family's unpleasant deaths as a favorite scene in the episode.^[2]

In discussing the montage of Samwell Tarly at the Citadel, Podeswa noted that his past experience with directing a montage sequence of Arya while she is washing bodies at the House of Black and White may have been the reason for the showrunners to have included it in the episode, saying 'In David and Dan's minds, they made a connection between me and montages, even though tonally these two are very different.'^[14] He also divulged that the original version of the montage was 'about seven or eight minutes' due to the amount of material that Podeswa had directed, and that the final version was edited down significantly.^[14]

For the closing scene of Daenerys Targaryen arriving at Dragonstone, Podeswa noted that very little of the scene was shot on a sound stage, but rather on location, saying 'The only thing shot on stage were the gates at the top of the stairs that leads to the long winding pathway up to the castle. Everything else was shot on location, in a number of different locations: Zumaia Beach in Spain is where she lands and walks up the stairs and gets to where the gates are. Another place — San Juan — is the place where that amazing staircase that doesn't look real and looks like a CG creation, but it's not, that's a spectacular location going up to Dragonstone castle.'^[14] The interiors of Dragonstone, however, were all shot on a sound stage, with set designer Deb Riley creating the throne room, and redesigning the map room for the episode.^[14]

Reception[edit]

Ratings[edit]

'Dragonstone' was viewed by 16.1 million total viewers, including 10.11 million on its initial viewing on HBO and the remaining coming from DVR and streaming, making it the most watched episode in the series' history up to that point. The episode also acquired a 4.7 rating in the 18–49 demographic.^[16] The episode inspired 2.4 million tweets during the time it aired, making it the show's most-tweeted episode yet.^[17] The episode was pirated 90 million times in the first three days since it aired.^[18] In the United Kingdom, the episode was viewed by 3.495 million viewers on Sky Atlantic during its Simulcast, making it the highest-rated broadcast that week.^[19] On August 2, 2017, HBO announced that the episode was about to surpass 30 million U.S. viewers across all of the network's domestic platforms. In the UK, the episode received up to 4.7 million viewers after seven days, making it the highest for any program ever on Sky Atlantic.^[20]

Critical reception[edit]

'Dragonstone' has received widespread praise from critics. It has a 93% rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes from 45 reviews with an average score of 8.4 out of 10.^[21] The site's consensus reads 'With a blistering opening salvo, Game of Thrones charts an assured path for its anxiously-anticipated final stretch.'^[21]

Matt Fowler of IGN wrote in his review for the episode 'Dragonstone' sublimely set the stage for Game of Thrones Season 7 with some righteous revenge, a new alliance, a dramatic (and quiet) homecoming, and a surprisingly great sequence from The Hound as he began to atone for his old life.'^[22] He gave the episode an 8.8 out of 10.^[22] Erik Kain of Forbes similarly gave praise to the episode, writing 'This was easily one of my favorite season premieres of any season of Game of Thrones. It's a testament to the show's staying power and quality that even this far in, a season's first episode could be so good. So much of it was just setting the stage, and yet I was reeled in, hook, line and sinker, from the opening moment to the closing credits.'^[23] Jane Mulkerrins of The Daily Telegraph also praised the episode, writing 'One might wonder whether the biggest, bloodiest, most Dragon-heavy show on television would still have the ability to shock and surprise. The answer, happily, is yes.'^[24] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe said 'The season premiere of Game of Thrones was thoroughly satisfying, a transporting hour that brilliantly reestablished the chessboard for the new, penultimate season.'^[25]

Ed Sheeran received mixed reviews over his cameo appearance.^[26] He deleted his Twitter account shortly after it. Much of the criticism was around the fact that there seemed to have been little attempt to disguise his cameo – while other artists such as Coldplay drummer Will Champion and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol were more difficult to spot in their scenes.^[27]
