Well, that was a spectacle, but it all felt rather ...empty. So..the good guys win, the bad guys are bad...because they just are. Maybe the last three episodes can redeem this show, but right now, Ian McShane seems to have had the right of it. This show may just be "tits and dragons."
...damn.

Episode 67 - The Queen's Justice S7E3
So Season 7 plows ahead at warp speed with Season 7 Episode 3,’The Queen’s Justice’. As “Snacks” points out, this is an episode of first and callbacks.
