Game of Thrones Recap: “Stormborn”
Well, Game of Thrones season seven has their first official villain (not counting Cersei, or the Night’s King, or the ice giant Wun Wun), and it’s Euron Greyjoy. Granted, in Westeros, “bad” is mostly relative, but when someone comes around who really likes killing, your Ramsay Boltons or your Mountains, you can credibly chalk them up in the villain category, and Euron Greyjoy is most certainly a villain. The second episode of the seventh episode,

New Game of Thrones “Stormborn” Images Hint at Questions of Trust
Game of Thrones‘ season 7 premiere, “Dragonstone,” set the table in a major way. It gave us Arya’s quest towards King’s Landing, stopping off at House Frey to put an end to Walder Frey’s entire lineage.

While we prepare for the end of Game of Thrones, we’ve braced ourselves with the comforting news that there are up to four potential Game of Thrones spinoffs/prequels being written. This thought has been like a summer day in High Garden while we face down the dead of winter that is the show’s end.
