It’s that time again! If you’ve been creeping around the office all day trying not to spoil the most recent Game Of Thrones episode for your coworkers who may be a bit behind, jump on in here and have a look at what the rest of the internet thinks about Episode 2: Stormborn.
Now I don’t know about you guys, but I find Daenerys’s one of the least interesting in the show, but because the episode’s called ‘Stormborn’ of course we’re going to start with her. First up, Dany brings up some concerns that she probably should have raised before she sailed to Westeros with Varys…
Daenerys: did you try to have me killed?
Varys: omg that was like one time— Sansa sᴛᴀʀᴋ (@TheDove_Stark) July 24, 2017
But, more importantly, let’s talk about how many powerful women are sitting in that war room!
Can we all admit how badass it is to have Daenerys Targaryen, Olenna Tyrell, Ellaria Sand, and Yara Greyjoy plotting war? #GoT

And not just that war room, but the entirety of Westeros right now.

Back to Daenerys — she’s summoned Jon Snow to her, which apparently makes a whole lot of shippers happy.
So, next week Jon and Daenerys are gonna meet?! I'm not freaking out or anything! #GoTS7 #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/wRyyX2pUzg

Others are more excited about some different partnerships, though.

Personally, there’s only one moment this episode that I will applaud Jon Snow for.

Next we have a touching moment with Grey Worm and Missandei that some people thought was a waste of time. Still, this is Game of Thrones and Season 7 has been sorely lacking in sex scenes so far.

But… did they forget something?
Did anyone else keep thinking 'Why haven't they shut the door?!' through that whole Greyworm and Missandei scene? #GoT #GoTS7ep2

Back in the Citadel, Sam is determined to one-up his super gross scene from last week. People were grudgingly impressed.

Is the Jorah surgery scene cut straight to the eating pie scene a top 3 transition in television history? #talkthethrones
— Jason Gallagher (@jga41agher) July 24, 2017
Some people are kinda concerned how Jorah’s going to look post-surgery, though.

Meanwhile, Game Of Thrones’ MVP has returned…
Honestly the MVP was Hot Pie because despite all the shit going on he's living comfortably with his stable job. #GameOfThrones #GoTS7 pic.twitter.com/xRDzhSHmYr

After last night's @GameOfThrones, my money's on Hot Pie as the one who winds up sitting on the Iron Throne. He's a survivor. And he cooks. pic.twitter.com/HoeMal7UO0

But this isn’t the only reunion we’re getting.
They are back:
1. Hot Pie
2. Nymeria
3. Reek (Poor Theon!)#GameOfThrones #ThronesYall #GoTS7— Jon Targaryen (@YourKingJon) July 24, 2017

Down with the Greyjoys and the Sand Snakes, shit starts going down. People are ambivalent about the seasons’ first major deaths…

Euron himself is happy about it of course.

Yara, on the other hand, is not.
How could you be with a brother like that?

I think this summed up episode 2 pretty succinctly:
Some people like Game of Thrones for the plot, the characters, or the action. I like it cuz it's got neat animals and is pro-cunnilingus.
