Olenna Tyrell Game of Thrones season seven

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season seven, episode three "The Queen's Justice."

Fire and ice finally collided on the newest episode of "Game of Thrones."

Daenerys Targaryen met Jon Snow (and fans went wild), Sansa and Bran had another Stark reunion, and Olenna Tyrell gave one of the best farewell's in "Game of Thrones" history.

 

But which moments had fans talking the most?

Social-media monitoring platform Brandwatch found nearly 29,000 "Thrones"-related mentions on Twitter during the hour and five minutes it aired on HBO, and identified the scenes when conversation peaked.

Here are the five most talked-about moments from the latest "Game of Thrones" episode:

5. People could not stop talking about Sansa taking charge at Winterfell and many wondered who was waiting at the gate for her.

9:46 p.m. ET — Around 600 mentions

After Jon Snow journeyed south with Davos to meet Daenerys Targaryen and hopefully mine some of her dragonglass, he left Sansa in charge at Winterfell where she dutifully took note of how much food was available to feed the castle with winter fast approaching and oversaw the making of armor.

Not only that, but fans got their first Stark reunion between Sansa and Bran. Unfortunately, many were hoping a different Stark sibling would walk through the door.



4. A lot of fans were simply thrilled that "Game of Thrones" was back again and that Jon and Davos had arrived at Dragonstone.

9:02 p.m. ET — Around 630 mentions

Their tense arrival on the beach, surrounded by Dothraki and with their weapons taken from them, was made all the better with a reunion between Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister. 

Here was the amazing dialogue if you want to relive a little bit of the magic:

Tyrion: "The bastard of Winterfell."

Jon: "The dwarf of Casterly Rock."

Tyrion: "I believe we last saw each other atop the Wall."

Jon: "You were pissing off the edge, if I remember right."

We were all excited.



3. Fans were overwhelmed to see Sansa and Bran together again — and had feelings about their bizarre reunion.

9:48 p.m. ET — Around 630 mentions

"Game of Thrones" fans have long been waiting for a Stark sibling reunion after the family was torn asunder in season one. Both Sansa and Bran have not had easy lives since they last saw one another. Sansa has been married to two different men, tortured by the late King Joffrey, and become a political pawn that was used and abused throughout the past seven seasons.

For his part, Bran has fled from Winterfell, journeyed beyond the Wall, seen the White Walkers, and watched as his direwolf Summer and faithful servant Hordor were brutally killed by wights.

Seeing them together was emotional for the viewers and for Sansa, but Bran seemed unmoved. As Isaac Hempstead Wright told INSIDER, he's a completely different character now that he's the Three-Eyed Raven.
