We've all waited eight seasons for this moment
Can we all just agree that if you've clicked into a story about
Game Of Thrones, then you've made your peace with the fact that it will have some degree of spoilers in it? Yeah, great.
Now that we've reached an understanding, how about that scene with Jon hoping on the back of a dragon on going on a romantic trip with Dany? They were just short of breaking out into a verse of 'A Whole New World'!
As our
Game Of Thrones Maester
Paul Moore said in his
review of 'Winterfell': "Jon finally embracing his Targaryen lineage is what this episode was really about and it's impossible not to get a kick out of the moment when he finally got to fly on the back of Rhaegal."
It was a great little scene, obviously there to set up a small bit of peace and quiet before the all-out war kicks in before too long, and viewers at home all reacted fantastically to it, too.
Their reactions were pretty much universal, but still very much fell into two categories. The first was those just mostly making fun of the Jon Snow being no good at dragon riding:

And the second consists of everyone pointing out the genetic side to dragon riding, which many believed even the dragons seem to have figured out:
