Game of Thrones season 7, episode 5: Twitter reaction

There were so many OMG moments in Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones it was hard to keep up. Lucky the show’s trusty Twitter fans had it covered, and had plenty to say about “Eastwatch.”

Warning: spoilers ahead. Proceed at your own risk.

Whew. There was a lot going on on Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones. As soon as fans had written out one social media hot take on a shocking moment, the next moment had already unfolded. First there was Dany’s violent show of force against the Tarly family. Then there was Drogon the dragon sharing an intimate moment with Jon Snow. Then there was Jorah’s triumphant return to Dany’s service. Then there was the revelation that Gendry’s no longer rowing. And the major plot developments went on and on.

Throughout the episode, fans took to Twitter as usual to question, comment, and celebrate the mysterious, outrageous, and exciting moments. Here are a few of our favorite responses:

Jon and the dragon

When Dany returns to Dragonstone with Drogon (who, by the way, isn’t all that hurt, after all!), there was an important exchange between the dragon and Jon Snow. The ferocious creature sensed something in Jon (*cough* he’s a Targaryen, too *cough*) and let his guard down as Jon reached out and touched Drogon—a moment that wasn’t lost on Dany, or Twitter fans.

Dany and Jorah reunite

After years(?) apart, Jorah and Daenerys are together again and everyone is thrilled about it. Except, maybe, Jon Snow.

Cersei’s preggers

In a shocking reveal, Cersei surprised Jaime and viewers everywhere with news that she’s pregnant (or is claiming to be) with Jaime’s child. And unlike the last three times, she’s not going to keep quiet about the fact that her brother is the father.

Gendry’s not rowing anymore

In a surprise favorite moment of the show, Gendry, who we last saw rowing into the wilderness, returned and was introduced to fellow powerful character bastard son, Jon Snow. The instant bond between the two was evident immediately and people on social media were seriously feeling it.

Littlefinger being shady

Littlefinger’s signature scheming was a wellspring of theories for online fans Sunday night. Arya watched from a distance as Littlefinger had shadowy secret meetings at Winterfell, and eventually she followed his (secret) lead to uncover a mysterious scroll hidden in a mattress. So, what was he up to? People had guesses.

Gilly dropping knowledge

The casual manner in which Gilly may have revealed one of the biggest plot points in the series (as readers of the Game of Thrones books know) was fodder for plenty of online feedback, especially because, like so many women who try to have their voice heard, Gilly was ignored and talked over by Sam.

Jon, Gendry, & Co. head into the North

The episode concluded with a mismatched squad of characters braving the elements and a great deal of danger to take on the impending threats of the North. People were revved up about next week’s episode, to say the least.
