This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4 “The Spoils Of War”.
Game Of Thrones just unleashed the dragons to the delight of many (and to the possible end of one big character) in last night’s episode, “The Spoils Of War” (our review here). But the episode contained even more than a dragon-based answer to “How did Game Of Thrones season 7 break the record for most people set on fire” There was also an anticipated reunion, a demonstration of Arya’s badassery, and more of Bran Stark being a big ol’ weirdo, among other things.
Bran continually provides fodder for jokes:

When someone tells you they can't rule Winterfell because they're the three-eyed Raven, that's called Bransplaining.

Starting to think it was Bran who hired the cutthroat to kill Bran. #GameOfThrones

Sansa Stark had some revelations of her own:

They can make an entire series around Arya Stark and her life as an assassin and it'll be the greatest show ever created #GamesOfThrones

Sansa got a job in her hometown and her little siblings came back from college and boarding school quoting Chomsky and eating shrooms

We know how you feel, Sansa. Gatherings with our families are weird, too:

People also had some observations about Jon Snow:

Jon Snow will bring the dragonglass mining jobs back.

While others wanted to see more episodes with their favorite side characters.

You can tell Bronn is the kind of guy who'd laugh at the number 69 no matter how old he gets and I love him for that. #GameOfThrones

Every time there's a place for a boat to pull up in this show, I think it's Gendry. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/Wk2IBijdsg

One person who could really use a boat right about now is Jaime Lannister, who brought a gotdamn pointy stick to a dragon fight. People made comparisons:

Not the first time Jamie Lannister tried to stick something where he shouldn't have
— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) August 7, 2017
But most of the best jokes Twitter had to offer were about the exciting final ten minutes of the episode, which were filled with red-hot dragon death from above as Daenerys created her own Field of Fire.

Both Dany and her dragons got their due praise:

Totally fine with every #GamesOfThrones episode being shorter if it's filled with dragony fire burning awesomeness. Best. Episode. Ever.
