      • 2017 August 27, Brandon Nowalk, “Game Of Thrones slows down for the longest, and best, episode of the season (newbies)”, in The Onion AV Club:
        Afterward, she returns to the Dragon Pit to announce her agreement to the truce. “The darkness is coming for us all. We will face it together.
