Say what you will about the rest of the episode, but John Bradley and Kit Harrington slayed the Aegon reveal scene. Tonight we saw Jon get told of his true identity and that he’s the heir to the iron throne after 7 seasons of waiting.

I got chills watching Sam give Jon his true title with Lyanna and Ned standing behind them. Everything about that scene. The location, the build up, and emotion in John and Kit, and the actors chosen for that scene were flat out perfect.

In terms of the series’ big picture, them nailing that scene is a sign that they’re staying on course for the ending.

The new intro was really dope.

Did anyone else notice the scene depicted on one of those golden band thingies that usually have the Stark, Baratheon, Targaryen and Lannister sigils? One looked like a man holding up a severed head.

Weird imagery. Has to be relevant..

He should’ve said, “Hey Bran, looking good! Love the chair!”

Theon showing up at Winterfell will be interesting. He bought some big chips by getting Sansa away from Ramsey but you'd think John Snow, Aria, and some Northern lords would want to kick him in the nuts.

He’s good with the right people. Jon already got to kick him last season
[Reply]

Jon already forgave him in 7-7.

Also, he doesn't have nuts.

Euron has enough balls for the entire Greyjoy family.

Plus, all the people who'd really be pissed about it are already dead.

Jorah had the subtle 'you damned idiot' face when Dany was talking about how she killed Sam's family.

Seriously, Dany without advisers is a freaking idiot and politically retarded. Tywain or Littlefinger would of danced circles around her.

I was also hoping for a little Mormont v. Mormont. Would have been funny to see Lyanna rip Jorah a new one for daring to return to the north.

Oh well. Maybe next week. :-)

The dragons were perving out on Jon and Dany by the waterfall.

I am happy we’re seeing her face the direct consequences of her decision there. Tyrion was ruthless to her about that choice and she shrugged him off with zero repercussions in Season 7.

Those consequences may be coming, for better or worse.

FIRST DRAGON: They know they're she's his aunt, right?

SECOND DRAGON: Oh shit. Here we go again.

I completely missed the reference about who Bran was waiting for until reading this thread. That was great.

I also found it to be rushed overall. It’s really hard to let anything breathe or develop in such a short amount of time. Hopefully that’s just with this episode since they had to get so many characters in place to set up the rest of the season.
