This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3 “The Queen’s Justice”.
Game Of Thrones delivered another eventful episode (our review here), and strong feelings were had on social media. Of course, the biggest development was Lady Olenna’s mic drop of a death scene, wherein she continually needled Jaime Lannister, admitted to killing Joffrey, and told Jaime to tell his sister-girlfriend what’s up. On one hand (because Jaime only has one?), this means Jaime now knows Tyrion is innocent, which could lead to interesting developments later. On the other hand (which Jaime doesn’t have), it also led to some great reactions, including the Viper himself (Pedro Pascal) calling it his favorite scene:

A truly baller death, which is about the best a George R.R. Martin character can hope for (all men must die).
And of course, Twitter lit up at the meeting of Dany and Jon:

Plenty of fun was had with Dany and Jon’s titles and Davos’ introduction:

Find yourself someone who talks about you the way Davos talks about Jon. #GameOfThrones

Is anybody else reading Davos in this next tweet in Billy Eichner’s voice or just me?

Plenty of people wanted Jon and his Aunt Dany to hook up, as if this episode didn’t have enough incest already.

‘You better get to work, Jon Snow’ Dany needs a better catchphrase if she hopes to outshine Ygritte @GameOfThrones

Even T-Pain weighed in:
They need to go ahead and cut to this Sex scene with Jon and the mother of boobs #GoTS7 #GameOfThrones #PainOfThrones

And the jokes about Dany and Jon’s conversation continued:

But Tyrion and Jon had a fun interaction, too:

— Faith D'Isa (@FaithNoMoar) July 31, 2017
And Tyrion helped Greyworm and the rest of the Unsullied with an old secret entrance Tyrion brought back into use.

Meanwhile, Sansa and Bran Stark reunited, and Old Man Bran has changed:

Bran: I'm the Three Eyed Raven. You've probably never heard of it

Bran is so your annoying brother who came home from freshman year thinking he was deep because he dropped acid one time.

Others wanted to know what Samwell Tarly would be up to:

And some people are still trying to decide what Euron Greyjoy looks like:

Some people had theories about what future episodes have in store for us:
I hope we get at least two episodes about mining dragon glass.
