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.
