Take the Black podcast: We pour over the new Game of Thrones season 7 photos

facebooktwitterreddit

Welcome back to another episode of Take the Black, Winter is Coming’s Game of Thrones podcast. This week, we obsessively pore over every inch, nook, and cranny of those 15 Game of Thrones season 7 photos recently released by HBO. If you’ve been listening to us for any length of time, you can very well imagine that Cory Thone wasn’t very excited to share his thoughts on every detail of Dany’s new outfit. But he soon joins the conversation, and before you know it someone’s being accused of being the Westerosi Alex Jones.

Some highlights:

  • We pick some low-hanging fruit and meme the photo of Tormund and Brienne.
  • I give Thone a lecture on why Dragonstone is so important.
  • Bran is gonna owe Meera a serious favor for dragging his ass all over creation.
  • Is Hot Pie actually Jaqen H’ghar?
  • Sophie Turner’s wig is awful, and we pick it apart like a hungry pack of hyenas.
  • Has the Hound packed on a few pounds?
  • We introduce a new segment to Take the Black: “This Week on George R.R. Martin’s Twitter Feed.”

As usual, Take the Black leans on the NSFW side (beware of F-bombs), as well as a healthy bit of group laughter. Also, beware of MAJOR SPOILERS for Game of Thrones season 7.
