Game of Thrones Refresher: Season 7 recap
Game of Thrones season seven, when suddenly the humans didn’t seem very secure, and the White Walkers might just kill everyone.
The moment we all waited for, confrontation between humans and zombies – are they zombies? – is about to happen on Game of Thrones. Finally. Too bad the majority of the humans, mostly Cersei, cares more about their power than the impending dangers.
But it’s all good, because Dany has three dragons. Right?
