GAME OF THRONES has usually been about the slow build up. Lots of talking, politicking, manipulating, struggling, then…BOOM super set piece that eats up the budget. Usually we get one, maybe two of these per season (fighting the Wildlings at the wall, the battle at Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards, etc.) But we've already gotten two pretty decent battles this season – Euron's attack of Yara's fleet, and the taking of Castlery Rock – which both would be showstoppers in earlier seasons.
But this isn't a normal season, and we've already got a third battle, that might be one of the best battles this show has ever done. Hell, it rivals most movie battles as well! And of course, when a show does something like this, you know a lot of hard work goes into it, so HBO has released a new featurette about what's been dubbed the "Loot Train attack". You can see the behind-the-scenes video below:
Meanwhile, you can watch GAME OF THRONES on HBO next Sunday!
