HOLY. WHAT. This week's episode of Game of Thrones [1] is absolutely one of the best ever — and most stressful, and most insane — in the entire series. Featuring reunions for the Stark kids, meaningful eye contact between Jon and Daenerys, and the battle that may be the most memorable battle [2] in the whole series so far, "The Spoils of War" is so, so, so good. I personally suffered like 84 heart attacks watching this week's episode, but there are just as many moments to smile about, so let's get to recounting just how crazy this episode was.
