Take the Black Podcast: We prepare for the Game of Thrones season 7 premiere!

Welcome to another episode of Take the Black, Winter is Coming’s Game of Thrones podcast. This week, we excitedly discuss the Game of Thrones season 7 premiere, “Dragonstone,” which will air this Sunday night, July 16!

Our topics include:

  • The Game of Thrones season 7 premiere photos and episode title.
  • Cory Thone thinks Meera looks haggard and worn out from pulling a full-grown man around in the snow.
  • Corey Smith tells us about the sword on Meera’s hip. Could it be more important than it appears?
  • Isis notices that Edd’s cloak is the same one worn by Jon Snow in seasons 5 and 6 before he peaced out and left the Night’s Watch.
  • We all notice the Dragonstone throne room looks quite filthy, and wonder if the castle has been abandoned since Stannis left it.
  • Isis asks a question for the group: Do fans expect too much from Jon Snow?
  • We all give our predictions for “Dragonstone,” realistic and crazy divisions.
  • Finally, we cover the Red Carpet Premiere Event in Los Angeles.

As usual, Take the Black leans on the NSFW side (beware of F-bombs). Also, beware of MAJOR SPOILERS for the Game of Thrones season 7 premiere. Thou hath been warned.
