Forces gather in Winterfell ahead of the coming storm, but the game of thrones is still being played despite that existential threat. Reunions from across the seven kingdoms abound as this generational series kicks off its final season.

Amanda, Brian, and David banter about the episode from the purview of fans of the show and, now all three, readers of the unfinished novel series by George R. R. Martin.
