Warning: Major Game of Thrones spoilers ahead.
Hey, um, I don't know if you guys have heard, but GAME OF THRONES HAS RETURNED! HBO's hit fantasy drama roared back into our lives on Sunday, and let's just say that the season seven premiere does not disappoint. There's drama, marriage proposals, and a crazy cameo, for starters, as well as a sick burn involving man buns (yes, really). While the episode ends with a lot still up in the air, there's one thing we know for sure: this season is going to be an emotional roller coaster. See every important moment from the premiere ahead!
When It Starts Off With Walder Frey Giving a Speech in the Riverlands
Like . . . he definitely died . . . right?
. . . And Then He Poisons All of His Men, and You Realize It’s Actually Arya in Disguise!
"Tell them Winter came for House Frey."
When It Turns Out the White Walkers Have Their Very Own Wun Wun
Also, it looks like Bran is possibly able to warg into the White Walker's giant.
When Bran and Meera FINALLY Make It to The Wall
After (maybe) warging into the giant wight, Bran and Meera arrive safe and sound (well, basically) at The Wall. Jon isn't there, obviously, but they're able to tell Eddison Tollett that they've seen the Night's King.
When Bran Says the Night’s King “Is Coming; He’s Coming For All of Us"
When Lil' Lyanna Mormont Stands Up to the Other Lords in the North YET AGAIN
After some of the men balk at Jon's suggestion that women need to learn how to fight, too, Bear Island's pint-size leader all but spits in their faces. “I don’t plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me," she retorts. "And I don’t need your permission to defend the North." Right on, sister.
When Sansa Undermines Jon Snow in Front of the Other Lords in the North, and It Gets Awkward
It looks like the power struggle between them is going to be super real this season (which Littlefinger is clearly psyched about).
When Sansa Makes It Up to Jon by Paying Him the Ultimate Compliment
"You have to be smarter than Father," Sansa says, while assuring him he's a good ruler. "And you need to be smarter than Robb."
. . . But Then Jon Makes It Obvious He Still Doesn't Respect Her Opinion
C'mon, bro. Sansa is savvy as hell.
When Cersei Sends Jon a Letter Telling the North to Bend to Her Rule
Which Is Followed by a Scene of Cersei Talking Sh*t About Her Enemies to the North, South, East, and West
When an Annoyed Jaime Tells Cersei She’s Queen of "Only Three Kingdoms, at Best”
Jaime out here with those harsh truths!
And Then They Start Discussing All of Their Dead Kids
Featuring uplifting quotes like: "Our children are dead — we're the last of us," "Our baby boy killed himself," and, "They’re ashes now, and we’re still flesh and blood."
When Cersei Tells Jaime She Invited Euron Greyjoy to King's Landing
When Euron Shows Up to King’s Landing Dressed Like Mick Jagger
Seeing leather leggings in Westeros is bizarre, but also we're not complaining because he looks damn good all of a sudden?
So Cersei Immediately Turns Him Down
Although Euron does promise he'll return to King's Landing with a gift so spectacular that she won't be able to deny him next time. Uh-oh.
When Sam’s Work at the Citadel Consists of Cleaning Up Sick People's Poop and Hauling Heavy Books Around
Nothanks.com
When Sam Attempts to Convince Another Maester That White Walkers Exist, but He Gives Him the Cold Shoulder
Pun intended.
So Then Sam Breaks Into the Library’s Restricted Section to Do His Own Secret Research
Hermione Granger would be proud.
But Sansa Tells Brienne That the Only Reason She’s Keeping Littlefinger Around Is Because of His Army
Sansa knows a fuccboi when she sees one.
When Ed Sheeran Pops Up in His Surprise Cameo
He plays a vocally gifted Lannister soldier who Arya stumbles across in the woods. He and his fellow soldiers offer her some rabbit and blackberry wine. All in all, pretty chill.
When the Soldiers Ask Arya Why She’s Going to King’s Landing and She Says, “I’m Going to Kill the Queen"
When the Hound Savagely Makes Fun of Thoros's Man Bun
“You think you're fooling anyone with that topknot?”
When Beric Dondarrion Confirms He’s Just as Confused by R'hllor as Everyone Else
But Then the Hound Sees a Vision of the White Walkers in the Fireplace
What does it all mean?! What is happening?!
When Sam Sees a Very Important Valyrian Steel Dagger in a Book He Stole
Looks like that theory about Arya and the dagger is going to come true.
When Sam Bumps Into a Very Greyscaled Jorah in the Citadel
"Has she come yet? The Dragon Queen?" he asks Sam. We only see his (incredibly nasty) arm, but it looks like greyscale has taken its toll on him.
When Dany Returns Home to Dragonstone and You Realize the Castle Has the Same Interior Decorator as P.F. Chang’s
You get a stone dragon! And you get a stone dragon!
When Dany Rips Down the Banner With Stannis’s Sigil Inside the Castle
There's a new ruler in town.
