Another week, another tweetstorm, and it’s time to see what the Internet thinks about the latest episode of Game of Thrones. Jump on in to go once more through the emotional roller coaster of Game of Thrones season 7, episode 3: The Queen’s Justice.

And with an episode title like that, we know it’s going to be juicy. Maybe even literally. Who knows what Cersei is capable of at this stage?”]
This week’s episode opened, like all of them, in Dragonstone. Predictably a lot of fans were pretty excited about Daenerys and Jon Snow finally meeting, but more people were caught up on the way they were introduced…
Missandei: You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn…
*1hr later*
Ser Davos: Dis jon snow…

Others were mad at Daenerys for being so stubborn about the fate of the continent she wants to rule.
Like…..folks believe in dragons, but the army of the dead is too much? Y’all fuckin annoying. #GoTS7

But did anyone else find that scene just a little… boring?
Dany meeting Jon Snow for the first time just feels like the most boring Facebook argument ever.

Down in King’s Landing, Cersei is playing the Mad Queen in the best possible way. You can’t help but cheer for her even if you hate her guts.
Cersei made a compelling scene involving Ellaria Sand and the remaining Sand Snake. That’s how good her character is. #GameOfThrones

CERSEI IS NOT A LIKABLE CHARACTER
that being, i found so much enjoyment watching her get revenge on Ellaria Sand ??? #GameofThrones

Meanwhile, we’re still wondering… where’s this guy at?

Back at Winterfell, we get another character meeting (well, reunion) that’s been anticipated for a long time. Turns out it’s just as underwhelming as the Jon and Dany one.
So you thought that Bran could not get more boring ? You thought that all that walking around in snow had a purpose ? #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/I2dmH0kfwf

Sansa: Who are you?
Bran: The Three Eyed Raven.
Sansa:Who are you?
Arya: No one.
Sansa:Has everyone lost their minds? #GoTS7 #GameOfThrones— The Great Comedy (@TheGreatComedy1) July 31, 2017
But honestly we’re all just waiting for this guy to get out of the way.
I watch every new episode of Game of Thrones in the hope that it’s the one where Littlefinger dies. #GameOfThrones #GoTS7 #WinterIsHere

Over in the Citadel luckily Sam is finally done with grossing us out. This time he’s just teaching people that reading the instructions is how to get things done.
Sam is the one guy who actually reads Terms&Conditions.#GameOfThrones #GoTS7 pic.twitter.com/pr70W1dOLc

A lot of the scenes in this episode had people a little confused, but none more than the ambitious attack on Casterly Rock. With Grey Worm and Euron making it all the way to the other side of Westeros, and Arya not even reaching Winterfell yet, a lot of fans are bewildered by the pacing of this season.
HOW DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE #GoTS7 #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/iBjjcRCaPk

But seriously how can Euron go to Casterly Rock so fast?#GameOfThrones #GoTS7 pic.twitter.com/zBLxaHdCxl

Others were disappointed by the scale of the battle itself…
I feel like in any other season, the Casterly Rock sequence would’ve been 6+ minutes long. We just got a glorified montage #GameOfThrones
— Laura Brown (@lcbrown91) July 31, 2017
Or just by the scale of the castle.

But this is quickly forgotten in the face of Olenna Tyrell exiting the series in style.
Can we just talk about the fact that she ?was ?the ?real MVP ?? ? #GoTS7 #GOT pic.twitter.com/OARWPYnONt

Only Olenna Tyrel would still be able to beat Jaime in the middle of her own death scene. Slay, Olenna, slay. #GameofThrones #GoTS7
— Zachary Burgess (@RealZachBurgess) July 31, 2017
Seriously, we didn’t see her die on screen so this can still definitely happen.
If next week’s #GameOfThrones doesn’t open with this I’m done with it. pic.twitter.com/f5L1Skit9Z
