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.

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.

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