It's the Summer of scamming, and Brandon I Stark is here to teach us his tricks! OK, so maybe Bran didn't know he was going to be king the whole time, but considering how rarely he actually tells anyone anything, it's not my fault that I'm suspicious. Somehow, the youngest Stark manages to wind up on the Iron Throne, and he still doesn't have to do a damn thing. Bran Stark is the millennial who baby boomers accuse us all of being, but with Three-Eyed Raven powers.
I'm still not sure exactly how Bran is going to work as the King of the Six Kingdoms when he doesn't even want to be a Lord of Winterfell and is obviously going to skip his duties to track down Drogon or just spy on everyone with his ravens, but I guess it doesn't really matter. It's the council that matters, right? Right . . .
