Lost amidst the complete awesomeness that was “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” was yet another in a series of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameos. First, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney and Silicon Valley star Martin Starr popped up as two of Euron Greyjoy’s mute crewmen in the season premiere. Last night things took an ever weirder turn, with former CIA deputy director David Cohen turning up in the soup line at Winterfell, served by Ser Davos Seaworth.

Cohen, who specialized in terrorism financing while at the CIA, was quick to chastise his former employer for the tweet.

Hopefully Cohen isn’t there to overthrow the local government and install a new regime, although that would be on brand for the show.

Anyways, if rumors are to be believed, Cohen might not be the last cameo we get this season.  Los Angeles Charger star Joey Bosa is may also be in the mix.

Cohen isn’t the only member of the Washington elite getting in on this show. Massachusetts Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren recently penned an editorial for The Cut entitled, “The World Needs Fewer Cersei Lannisters,” because that’s how big this show is. Here’s Warren’s take on Daenerys’ pursuit of power:

Dany believes fiercely in her right to rule, but she despises what ruling means in the world she’s grown up in. She doesn’t want to be a slave owner or a dictator — and she definitely doesn’t want to become her murderous father. She tells Ser Jorah: “Slavery is real. I can end it. I will end it. And I will end those behind it.” Before sailing across the sea to Westeros, she frees the enslaved people of Meereen and creates an army that fights because they want to, not because they have to.

And of course, no one has attempted to harness the show’s popularity more than President Donald Trump, who on more than one occasion has used the show’s slogans and font on his Twitter feed, much to HBO’s chagrin. Game of Thrones just go together.
