Welcome to another fun and exciting episode of Winter is Coming's Game of Thrones podcast -- Take the Black. This week, our larger than usual panel discusses all the ins and outs, highs and lows of episode 705, "Eastwatch."

Some topics:

  • Dan believes the opener was a wasted opportunity for a good cliffhanger.
  • Thone and Sarah heatedly debate Dany's decision to burn Dickon and Randyll Tarly. 
  • I really loved the Jon and Drogon scene.
  • While Ser Friendzone is back, Isis knows he's no competition for Jon Snow.
  • Corey Smith doesn't remember seeing an animal's eyes warg white on the show before, and he thinks that's a neat touch.
  • We all agree the Maesters are just the worst.
  • The subtle reveal that Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark were married thus legitimized Jon was done quite cleverly.
  • We marvel at Jon's reaction to the news of Arya and Bran's homecoming.
  • Gendry is back and Isis and Sarah can't get enough.
  • We felt the ending was cheesy, and overall, the episode was rushed more than usual.

As usual, Take the Black leans heavily on the NSFW side (beware of F-bombs). You’ve been warned.
