Game of Thrones Season 7: Every Information That You Want to Need!

In case you haven’t seen all 67 episodes of Game of Thrones and want to catch up before the launch, all seven seasons are available on Netflix. In Vanity Fair, we will be summarising each season of the program to ensure that the major plot points remain fresh in your mind.

Given the magnitude of the task at hand (67 episodes! what do you expect from us?!), we apologize in advance for any delays. —we’ve condensed every season into the bare bones of the story for each main character still standing as Season 8 begins.

If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, there’s a bonus section below with some info that might come in handy for the next season. That doesn’t imply they’re not significant (just because a character has died doesn’t mean they’re not). Vanity Fair has compiled a list of the 15 episodes of Game of Thrones that should not be missed in preparation for the final season. Season 7 is finally here, though!

Cersei Lannister Queen of Westeros

went to war with Daenerys Targaryen, who’d invaded Westeros from the East, and had her Hand, Qyburn, create a weapon (a ballista) that could kill a dragon. After Euron Greyjoy destroyed the Targaryen fleet and delivered her to the Dornish ladies (Ellaria and Tyene) responsible for the death of her daughter Myrcella, she gave in to his disgusting evil and married him.

Indeed, Cersei was expecting a child from her brother Jaime. She encountered a wight (a zombie) for the first time, made a bargain with her brother Tyrion to aid in the fight against the horde of the undead, and then despatched Euron to get a vast army of mercenaries known as the Golden Company to use against Jon Snow and Daenerys.

Jaime Lannister Her Twin Brother

warred against those who opposed House Lannister, enlisting the Targaryen and wiping off the Tyrells (R.I.P., Olenna). When the Targaryen armies invaded, he rode a dragon to victory, and the events that followed left an indelible mark on him.

He was overjoyed to hear the news of Cersei’s pregnancy, astonished that she had consented to marry Euron Greyjoy, appalled by her heartless remarks about their late son Tommen, and shocked once more when not even the threat of zombies could dissuade her from going to war with Daenerys and Jon.

Overall, he pretended ignorance of Cersei’s villainy. When the army of the dead attacked, Jaime abandoned his sister-lover and went north to aid House Targaryen and House Stark.

Tyrion Lannister Her Other Brother

partly because of his internal struggle about going to war with his own family, gave Daenerys some very terrible advice about how to invade Westeros. He was instrumental in bringing together King Jon Snow of the North and Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons.

The sight of his brother Jaime fighting beside his queen terrified him, and he was even more taken aback by the sight of his queen setting fire to the bodies of her adversaries. He pleaded with Daenerys not to go on a rescue expedition to save Jon Snow, and he struck a bargain with his pregnant sister Cersei to garner support in the struggle against the undead. Even when Jon and Daenerys finally made it official during their season-long courtship on the boat voyage to Winterfell, Tyrion watched with jealousy (yes, really).

Jon Snow (The King in the North)

to combat the Night King’s army of the dead, Jon Snow traveled to Dragonstone to petition Queen Daenerys to allow him to mine there for additional dragon glass weaponry. He fell in love with her, but he was not willing to submit to her.

Along with Gendry Baratheon, Jorah Mormont, the Hound, Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr (R.I.P. ), and Tormund Giantsbane, he risked his life to go north of the Wall and capture a wight (also known as an ice zombie) to show Queen Cersei that the threat from the Night King was genuine.

He was saved from certain death by his (now undead) uncle Benjen and later by Daenerys herself. In King’s Landing, Jon and his companions gave Queen Cersei the weight they had fought so hard to capture. He submitted to Queen Daenerys and finally ended their season-long fling on the boat voyage back to Winterfell.

He had no idea that his real mother was Lyanna Stark and his real father was Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. We’ll let you keep calling him Jon Snow even though his real name is Aegon Targaryen.

Bran Stark (the Last Surviving Son of Winterfell)

Season 6’s death occurred at an unknown time throughout the season. The Three-Eyed Raven, an ancient figure with omniscient vision and knowledge in Westerosi legend, took over his body. To say goodbye to his old companion Meera Reed, the body landed in Winterfell and immediately freaked out Bran’s sister Sansa.

The Three-Eyed Bran has seen everything, but he has problems recalling, categorizing, and making sense of the visions he has seen. Littlefinger had given him a dagger made of Valyrian steel, but he gave it to his sister Arya instead. The revelation of Jon Snow’s true paternity and Littlefinger’s many prior sins were two of his most important Season 7 visions. He also shared Littlefinger’s plans with his sisters.

Sansa Stark His Sister

heatedly debated with her brother Jon the wisdom of visiting Dragonstone, given the longstanding animosity between the Starks and the Targaryens. While Robert was away, she assumed charge of Winterfell and organized the troops and supplies for the next winter and conflict.

She met up with her Stark siblings, Bran and Arya. In addition to their extended separation, suspicion of others, conflicts from their youth, and Littlefinger’s interference, the Stark sisters clashed. Arya and Sansa may have been at odds at first, but they finally joined forces to kill Littlefinger and show a unified front against House Stark’s foes.

Arya Stark His Other Sister

eliminated the Frey family by posing as Lord Walder and meeting Ed Sheeran. She considered traveling to King’s Landing to assassinate Cersei but ultimately opted to remain in the safety of Winterfell. On the road, she befriended her direwolf Nymeria, but they eventually split up. (Not forever, though.)

In the Winterfell courtyard, Arya also saw her brother Bran, argued with her sister Sansa, and sparred with Brienne. The final pairing of Arya and Sansa resulted in the execution of Littlefinger and a united front against those who would harm House Stark.

Daenerys Targaryen the Queen of Dragons

ultimately arrived in Westeros and established herself in her ancestral house of Dragonstone. She met Jon Snow and fell in love with him despite his refusal to kneel. She launched an invasion of the Seven Kingdoms that failed miserably due to faulty counsel from her Hand, Tyrion Lannister.

Daenerys, her Dothraki bloodriders, and a dragon fought Jaime Lannister and his troops on an open field after losing her Dornish friends, her fleet, and House Tyrell. She set fire to several Tarlys and rushed to save Jon Snow, who was stranded north of the Wall with her lifelong subordinate, Jorah Mormont.

She saved her boyfriend but lost a dragon in the process. She agreed to an uneasy alliance with Queen Cersei after witnessing the Night King combat the army of the undead. Daenerys completed her season-long infatuation with the King in the North on the boat journey back to his castle in Winterfell, after wowing them at the Dragonpit and convincing Jon Snow to bend the knee. She had no idea she was having a relationship with her nephew.

Viserion, the dragon, was killed and resurrected. He rode his zombified new steed up to the Wall, which separated the Great North from the Realms of Men, and then blew it down with his dragon. His army of undead warriors, White Walker lieutenants, and, oh yeah, that undead dragon began their assault on Westeros.

Defining Cultural Moment

At this stage in its existence, Game of Thrones just is the culture. However, this season will be remembered for its supersized episodes, a sped-up tempo of storytelling in a race to the end, an increased preference for spectacle over conversation-heavy intrigue, and, in some cases, defying internal logic.

This was the first season of Game of Thrones that didn’t contain a big emotional scene that readers could be convinced originated with George R.R. Martin himself. (At least in Season 6, there was Hodor.)

When everything is said and done, though, Season 7 was the show’s most-watched by far and awarded Game of Thrones its third straight best-drama Emmy. The major plot twist was, in theory, the official confirmation of Jon Snow’s real father, Rhaegar, and the consequences of Gilly’s discovery that the Targaryen prince had canceled his marriage to his first wife and instead wedded Lyanna Stark.

That means Jon Snow, Westeros’ most famous bastard, isn’t a bastard. Not only that, but he is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne (depending on how you look at it). The news of Jon’s legitimacy shocked both book readers and show viewers.
