Game of Thrones Season Seven, Episode 5

There was a ton of information in today's show so let's move slowly as we try to unpack what exactly happened and what it can tell us about the story going forward.

Here's our discussion on Periscope right after the show ended.

1. Bron and Jaime are alive!

Somehow Bron, the Michael Phelps of the Seven Kingdoms, is able to hold Jaime underneath water and carry him -- even though Jaime is weighed down with armor -- all the way to a part of the lake where, miraculously, no one is waiting to capture the leader of the Lannister Army.

Now, look, I'm no Napoleon, but Tyrion saw his brother get tackled into the water. He has an entire army of Dothraki soldiers on horseback and a dragon. Why not surround the lake and wait to see if Jaime comes out of the water alive? Wouldn't Jaime make a pretty valuable prisoner? How in the world do you just let a guy swim to another side of the lake and climb out with zero issues.

And once that happens how can Jaime and Bron just walk back to King's Landing without getting captured. They have no horses and Daenerys's army is right there.

Just an absurd plot point.

Regardless, Jaime says he has to tell Cersei about the dragons. He knows there is no way they can win the war now.



2. Daenerys addresses the Lannister Army. 










3. Jaime tells Cersei they can't win the war and that Oleanna killed Joffrey. 





4. Drogon approaches Jon Snow and Jon rubs his snout.





5. Creepy Ass Bran is warging in the raven as they fly over the white walkers. 





6. The Citadel receives notice of the coming white walkers via raven. 





7. Varys and Tyrion discuss Daenerys's decision to burn the Tarleys and Varys says it reminds him of advising her father, the mad King. 





8. Tyrion suggests they bring a captured white walker to King's Landing to prove the danger to Cersei. 





9. Arya criticizes Sansa for not defending Jon more aggressively. 





10. Davos and Tyrion arrive in King's Landing. 













11. Jaime tells Cersei he met with Tyrion.





12. Gendry tells Jon he's Robert's bastard even though Davos told him not to.



13. Okay, here's the biggest revelation of tonight's show: Gilly discovers that Rhaegar got an annulment from his first wife so he could be married to Lyanna Stark.















14. What's Baelish doing?











15. Jon Snow and his merry band of White Walker captors reach the Wilding army.
