Hey y'all, spoilers for Season 7, episode one below. If you haven't watched it, don't get upset with us if you read it.

Um, I don't know if you've ever heard of a character named Daenerys Targaryen, but she's home now.

The last big scene in "Dragonstone" finds that unlikely Targaryen sailing her ships across the Narrow Sea as her three adolescent dragons fly above. And then, you guessed it, she lands on Westeros.

She's there.

She's home.

As much of the internet yelled at their screens this Sunday night, "The queen is home."

And then she said, "Shall we begin?" and the Western world lost its collective mind.

It left many, including us, really wanting the next episode.

I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
