After six seasons kicking her heels, it's finally time for Dany to start breaking wheels.

The Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea etc etc is looking to add even more titles to the already lengthy list, bidding to become the new Queen.

Her battle for power with Cersei Lannister is going to be fascinating to watch (even though, in terms of army, she has a ridiculous advantage), and something that should play out across the season. But in terms of anticipation, there's a much earlier moment to look forward to, as it's happening right in the very first episode.

We've been waiting for Daenerys to reach Westeros ever since the beginning of the show, and in Dragonstone she's going to the only home she ever had on the continent. The sight of the castle promises something magical, as the producers look to have gone all-out on its design. The books paint a picture of somewhere really special and unlike the other castles we've seen, and the show are finally set to deliver that version of Dragonstone, which should be spectacular.

Just adding to that magic is that homecoming for Daenerys. She's one of the main heroes of the show, and we've followed her journey more closely than almost anyone else's. Seeing her go back home should be a big emotional moment for Dany, and that will hopefully get through to the viewer too, giving us a small, touching character moment that is huge in terms of plot.
