If you're reading this and if you don't want to know what happened in the latest episode of Game of Thrones- that is episode one of season seven - then DO NOT READ AHEAD.
Instead, maybe enjoy this article about How Legalising Cannabis Could Be Great For The Economy, or How Malcolm X Inspired Muhammad Ali To Become Heavyweight Champion Of The World, or hear about the absolute hero who Who Got Arrested For Flying Into The Sky Using A Lawn Chair And A Hundred Helium Balloons.
What I'm saying is: get the hell off this page right now because spoilers (like winter) are coming.

Wow, so besides Ed Sheeran's slightly clunky cameo, that was good wasn't? A lot to catch-up on. How about that opening scene, as well? Anybody playing the 'drink each time someone dies' drinking game must have woken up with quite the hangover this morning.
Up in Winterfell, Jon and Sansa clashed over how to dole out punishment. Cersei and Jaime clashed over the facts she's slowly becoming the 'mad queen'. Ayra was up to her usual savagery with the Frays - although surely I can't be the only one who was hoping she would needle Ed as a reward to viewers for listening through that song. And Dany finally reached Westeros.

Ed Sheeran's appearance on Game of Thrones split viewers:

But what was probably the most significant part of the episode came in some of the least exciting scenes.
As he began his maester training, Sam made a huge discovery on where Jon Snow could find weaponry to fight the Night's King.
Back in season two, Sam found a sack of dragonglass weapons. So far, along with Valyrian steel, they are the only materials that appear to be effective against the White Walkers, so if Jon is to defeat the ice army beyond the wall he's going need to find more of it.

Online theorists have long suggested that Dragonstone would be the best place to look. Some have even suggesting that dragonglass is just dragon shit. Although that theory is yet to be confirmed. After he stole the books from the library, Sam discovered that Dragonstone does indeed have a mountain that is made entirely of the material and there presumably can be mined.
He wrote to Jon and if he gets on it quick, the move could save a number of characters lives as the White Walkers look destined to fuck shit up.
