This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 7 “The Dragon and the Wolf”.
Game Of Thrones went all out with its longest episode yet for the Season 7 finale, “The Dragon and the Wolf” (our review here). There was a big death scene, a psychic vision we totally saw coming, more incest in a season that’s been like two thirds incest, and an excuse for more speculation about Bran and the Night King (TEAM NIGHT KING).
Did you know the VMAs were happening at the same time? No spoilers:
Please don't tweet which character died during the VMAs I recorded it!

Meanwhile, Dany and Cersei’s respective squads had their corporate team-building getaway in an arena at King’s Landing:

And Daenerys was fashionably late with the fabulous entrance:

But Cersei was unimpressed. By everything.
Dany pulls up on the first dragon to be seen in hundreds of years and Cersei is like "…..you're late". I love that miserable woman so much

CERSEI: "oh course I believe in the dead army, it's just that I disagree the cause is man-made."

Cersei failed to condemn wight supremacy too.

Meanwhile, the Greyjoys had differing opinions. Euron just wanted to know if the white walkers would come for him…
Euron was like, "can they swim? Cool cool cool….."#GameofThrones #ThronesYall pic.twitter.com/YDu8cmJ3AT

And Theon decided to go on a quest to save his sister Yara, even if he has to take more damage to the crotch along the way:

And then Lord Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) finally — finally — got his comeuppance when Bran brought the receipts and Arya took Littlefinger out with the same Valyrian steel dagger he had given to Bran. Chaos is a ladder, Baelish.
I'd like to nominate Littlefinger getting exposed as the new "Blinking White Guy" GIF #GameOfThrones #GameOfThronesFinale pic.twitter.com/bmoGv27qdg

Bran also told Samwell about being the Three Eyed Raven. Cool story, Bran.
Sam just reacted to Bran's Three Eyed Raven thing like the rest of the Defenders react to Danny and his Iron Fist thing. #GameOfThrones

Bran is like the opposite of a superhero. He tells people his secret identity when they don't even ask or care.

And Sam let Bran know what Gilly discovered about Jon Snow’s real name and legitimate claim to the iron throne. Then Bran did his greenseer thing and revealed Jon’s real name: Aegon Targaryen.
Did… did Rhaegar Targaryen name TWO sons Aegon? What kind of George Foreman nonsense….

Meanwhile, Jon/Aegon and his Aunt Dany didn’t know about this revelation while they were busy getting together to “break the wheel” if you know what I’m sayin’.
Having sex while someone narrates the backstory of how you're related to your lover is some REAL kinky shit

I'm convinced that George R.R. Martin wrote #GameOfThrones solely to convince the world that incest is okay under the right circumstances…

ME, WATCHING GAME OF THRONES SEASON 1: wtf is up with all the incest
ME, BY SEASON 7: incest is probably the only real love there is

Just when we thought the episode may have already peaked, Bran had a vision of something that may or may not be happening in real time: Tormund and Beric at The Wall witnessing the Night King on his ice dragon destroying The Wall in this amazing scene.

They're going to build a new wall, and the Night King will pay for it.

All in all, it was a productive season:
Well this season of GoT was a success. All I wanted was for an aunt and nephew to fuck and for an 11 y.o to continue her murderous rampage

But some alleged viewers were definitely bluffing…
Game of Thrones spoiler: as expected, this episode was a real doozy.
