5 most talked-about moments from this week's 'Game of Thrones'

Warning: Spoilers ahead for HBO's "Game of Thrones" season seven, episode five, titled "Eastwatch."

This episode was a game changer for Jon Snow on "Game of Thrones."

Intrigue was the order of the day as Daenerys showed no mercy for those who wouldn't bend the knee to her. Jon Snow received news from the North, and decided to venture beyond the Wall with his ragtag crew in order to capture a wight. Meanwhile, Littlefinger's plan to cause mistrust between Arya and Sansa progressed, and Sam Tarly missed out on a huge breakthrough about Jon's parents — but viewers paid a whole lot of attention. Oh and by the way, Gendry is back!

But which moments had fans talking the most?

Social-media monitoring platform Brandwatch found more than 28,400 "Thrones"-related mentions on Twitter while Sunday's episode 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. Fans had a lot to say as the episode began and we discovered that Jaime was still alive.

9:03 p.m. ET – around 640 mentions

In a dramatic play on our emotions, Jaime refused to back down at the end of the last episode's battle and charged at Dany and Drogon. If it weren't for Bronn risking his life, Jaime would be toast. But the episode ended in a cliffhanger as Jaime sunk to the bottom of the river.

We learned in the opening moments of "Eastwatch" that he had survived and fans had some feels about the moment.

4. Viewers cheered the first meeting between Jon and a dragon. Drogon looked fierce at first, but seemed to sense that Jon is really a Targaryen.

9:16 p.m. ET – Around 690 mentions

Fans have been anticipating Jon Snow's first meeting with a dragon since last week's preview, and perhaps the entire run of the series. This is especially poignant now that the show has become very transparent about Jon's Targaryen bloodline.

3. Fans got a kick out of the motley crew Jon Snow brought together to hunt down a wight in order to convince Dany and Cersei of the danger that lies beyond the Wall.

9:59 p.m. ET – around 750 mentions for both moments

In a plan hatched by Tyrion, Jon Snow assembles a fellowship of men to go beyond the Wall and capture a wight, so that he can convince Daenerys and Cersei to join forces to defeat the Night King and his army.

Jon's ragtag team includes a group of men who all have reasons to not trust each other: Jorah Mormont, Tormund, Gendry, Sandor "The Hound" Clegane, Thoros of Myr, and Beric Dondarrion.
