Say what you will about the rest of the episode, but John Bradley and Kit Harrington slayed the Aegon reveal scene. Tonight we saw Jon get told of his true identity and that he’s the heir to the iron throne after 7 seasons of waiting.
I got chills watching Sam give Jon his true title with Lyanna and Ned standing behind them. Everything about that scene. The location, the build up, and emotion in John and Kit, and the actors chosen for that scene were flat out perfect.
In terms of the series’ big picture, them nailing that scene is a sign that they’re staying on course for the ending.
