Game Of Thrones Season 7: 15 Best Internet Reactions To Dragonstone

4. So, How Did Sandor Do That?

Melisandre really is the worst witch. Not only has she got her predictions wrong pretty much every single time she's looked into the fire, but she's now also been completely undermined by The Hound just casually having a vision without a hint at him being a Red Priest of any sort.

This was a big deal, and it's very odd that Thoros and Beric Dondarrion didn't react to it more than they did. Isn't this a hint that he's magical - that his "touched by fire" backstory has made him an instrument of the Lord Of Light? In some ways, he owes The Mountain a debt of gratitude for empowering him...

And if you think they just made up his psychic skills on the spot to help set a scene up, you'd be wrong. Such is the majesty of the Game Of Thrones' writing room, who foreshadowed his gift of foresight ages ago when we first met the unlikely farmer and his daughter...

Those clever devils.
