We always wondered what it would look like when the Mother of Dragons finally turned her attention upon the Seven Kingdoms, and now, we have our devastating answer. With that said, the incineration of the Masters of Slavers Bay pales in comparison to the sight of Daenerys finally unleashing Drogon upon denizens of Westeros. Almost two full seasons later, we’ve seen Dany fly on Drogon a few times, even in the heat of battle. After years of waiting for it to happen, viewers finally watched Daenerys soar through the skies on one of her dragons.

Think back to “Dance of the Dragons,” the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones‘ fifth season. We know all too well how much Tyrion wants to see his sweet sister fall, of course, but that doesn’t make him immune to the horrible cost of war. (Indeed, the sight of one soldier’s body blowing away in the breeze stands out as one of the single greatest images in recent Thrones memory.) Moments earlier in the episode, Daenerys was accusing Tyrion of not wanting to see his family lose this war. The look of horror on his face is surpassed only by the horrors he sees out on the field, as soldiers scream in fiery agony, some of them rendered into nothing more than ash. If the closing moments of the season premiere, in which Dany returned to her birthplace on Dragonstone for the first time since fleeing for her life as an infant, served as a contemplative homecoming, then the closing moments of “The Spoils of War” were the exact opposite: all fire and brimstone, the fulfillment of the show’s violent promise of what it would look like whenever the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea finally crossed the Narrow Sea with conquest on the mind.Īt one point during the battle, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) watches the carnage from a safe distance. The latest episode of Game of Thrones, called “The Spoils of War,” serves both as the midpoint for the show’s penultimate season, as well as a decisive declaration of Daenerys Stormborn’s arrival in the Seven Kingdoms. If it wasn’t clear before, it sure is now: Daenerys the Conqueror (Emilia Clarke) has arrived in Westeros, and nobody is safe from her wrath.
