Oh, and we can’t forget the absolute highlight: the Night King finally got some serious screen time. He wasn’t just a creepy background guy anymore. Have you ever seen a villain who just walks around with an icy “I don’t care” vibe? That’s him. He’s like the Darth Vader of the North, but way quieter and with a better sense of temperature control.
Season 7 also introduced us to a few new faces, like Jim Broadbent as Archmaester Ebrose. He was basically the cool, cranky professor who knows everything about dragon glass and ancient prophecies. Why does every story need a wise old dude? Because someone has to explain the plot to the characters who are too busy fighting.
The Trio We Actually Wanted
Let’s be honest: the real reason we were glued to the screen was the Jon and Daenerys meet-cute. You know, the one that happened on a rocky shore with dragons flying overhead? It was like a Tinder date from hell—in the best way. And then Tyrion stood in the middle, looking like a chaperone at a middle school dance, trying to keep the fire and ice from literally combusting. Classic Tyrion.

Of course, we can’t ignore Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner). Their reunion was less “hugs and tears” and more “who stole the last cookie and who should I stab?” It was a sibling rivalry worthy of a real housewives reunion, but with more swords and fewer wine glasses.
