Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups And 3 Downs

5. Daenerys At Dragonstone

As promised at the end of Season 6, Daenerys finally makes it to Westeros, and she starts her path to becoming the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms by going home. I say home, she's never actually been there, but it is her family's ancestral seat.

Dragonstone, which featured in the show back when The Mannis was still alive (and before he rode North), looks mightily impressive, with some extra work going into it now it's a key location. Daenerys' Throne is particularly great, and she definitely looks the part sitting on it.

What's really striking is the emotional connection it makes though, clearly selling just how much it means to Dany to be here, with the history of the place, its significance to her family, and everything she's been through to reach this point. It's not just grand, but a surprisingly touching scene too.
