He knew this would happen the whole time!

Was it all part of the plan??

Thanks a lot, Sansa.

Way to rub it in, why don't you. (Bran's like, maybe not in front of everyone please?)

The Bran puns were spectacular.

I myself have been calling him "Bran Muffin," thanks to my sister coining the term.

this just shows the importance of building a strong personal branMay 20, 2019

Maybe he wasn't the best pick.

You know, relatively speaking? I really thought it was going to be Jon.

Poor Dany.

After SO much struggle, to have another dude take the throne from her without even trying.

Oh, I get it now...

I didn't get the significance of the wheelchair until like just this second:

The only thing the writers got right.

This is why so many people are demanding a reshoot.

Bran becoming King of the 6 Kingdoms even though he did not want it at all was excellent foreshadowing on the writers part about how no one wanted the show to end up like this.#GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/OECTAGKh1PMay 20, 2019

Although, there was foreshadowing?

This might be a stretch, but still. I'd like to think the creators knew what they were doing.

In the #GameofThrones Pilot, the camera cuts to Bran, not Jon, when Ned Stark says 'King of the Andals and the First Men' pic.twitter.com/3WxaTKKJwvMay 20, 2019

Wait a second...

Oh my God, they do look the same. Are the Seven Kingdoms doomed? Probably not.
