Winter is here, and so is Season 7 of the hit HBO show on home video
In my review of Season 6, I said “the handbrake is well and truly off.” Well, Season 7 ripped the damn thing out of the car. A shortened length, but by no means less impacting, nuance and scheming often giving way to full scale battles, neck slicing retributions, and yes, THAT moment. Missed out or just want to experience it again? You’re in luck, as come December 12th, you can own the latest season of the hit show on home video, and HBO has provided a copy of it to give to one lucky Cinapse reader.
S7 Synopsis
In Season 7, Daenerys Targaryen has finally set sail for Westeros with her armies, dragons and new Hand of the Queen, Tyrion Lannister. Jon Snow has been named King in the North after defeating Ramsay Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards and returning Winterfell to House Stark. In King’s Landing, Cersei Lannister has seized the Iron Throne by incinerating the High Sparrow, his followers and her rivals in the Sept of Baelor. But as old alliances fracture and new ones emerge, an army of dead men marches on the Wall, threatening to end the game of thrones forever.
Not only does the release contain every episode of Season 7, as well as a plethora of extra features (see below), but also a bonus disc Conquest & Rebellion: An Animated History of the Seven Kingdoms, a 45-minute, never-before-seen extension of the Clio Award-winning History & Lore features included on previous individual Blu-ray releases.
