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:
Bran Stark proves the old adage that humans are only as exciting as the grain they're named after.

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

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

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

People also had some observations about Jon Snow:

While others wanted to see more episodes with their favorite side characters.
I want a whole episode with these two Winterfell guards titled ‘Best F—k Off.' They’re like Rosencrantz and Guildenstark @GameOfThrones

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

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.

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

And a couple of tweets could serve as a summary of the series as a whole:
Game of Thrones, at its core, has always been a show about how much it sucks to be a horse
