Game of Thrones Begins Season Seven
After much anticipation “Game of Thrones” has returned for its season seven premiere on Sunday. HBO had delayed production, meaning four more months of anticipation ahead of the season debut — already one of the television events every year across the world.
But viewers were not disappointed, taking to social media in the thousands to express delight at the explosive start opening, the arrival of dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen in Westeros and a widely-hyped cameo by pop sensation Ed Sheeran.
“There are very few shows that can deliver as much action and excitement as the season six ‘Game of Thrones’ finale, and there are perhaps even fewer shows that can make a table-setting episode this much fun,” the Hollywood Reporter said after the premiere.
“So it’s all the more bittersweet that not only is winter here, but the end is in sight.”
The debut episode, entitled “Dragonstone,” saw evil Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), now ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, making alliances that threaten newly-anointed King of the North Jon Snow (Kit Harington).
