The latest episode of “Game of Thrones” was fire ... lots of fire.
Tired of Tyrion’s (Peter Dinklage) “clever plans” that were losing her allies and the war, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) takes things into her own hands, unleashing the Dothraki and Drogon on the Lannister army.
The battle burned up the Lannisters and lit Twitter on fire, too:
Never has a freakout been more warranted.
After all, these dragons were little pipsqueaks when we first met them in Season 1. We heard they were going to be the size of airplanes by Season 7, but seeing is believing:
Fans have been waiting for this moment since the beginning, and it was awesome.
Through all the chaos ― which Bran would tell us “is a ladder” ― it was easy to overlook another scene that’s been a long time coming.
Towards the end of the battle, there’s a moment where Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) charges Daenerys as she’s trying to help Drogon, who’s been hit by the Lannisters’ anti-dragon weapon, the Scorpion.
