As a devoted fan of Game of Thrones, my first instinct after watching a new episode is to dive into Twitter and see what everyone is buzzing about. It’s always reassuring to find that my thoughts—like questioning why everything felt so dim last night—are echoed by fellow fans. But mostly, I’m there for the laughs and the endless stream of memes.
Last night’s gripping 82-minute Battle of Winterfell was nothing short of breathtaking, filled with heart-pounding moments that had viewers on the edge of their seats. Thankfully, much of its brilliance can be captured in these tweet-worthy gems.
The Darkness
First off, the darkness. Fans nearly lost it over how poorly lit the battle was; it was nearly impossible to see which beloved characters were in peril, heightening the tension. The initial flicker of light ended with the devastating loss of the Dothraki army. As they charged into battle, illuminated by Melisandre’s magic, they were extinguished in moments—definitely not the sign we hoped for after eight seasons of supporting Daenerys.
The shock of their swift demise set a somber tone early on, causing chills that lingered until the final credits rolled. When Jorah returned from the charge unharmed (but where’s Ghost? We miss the doggo!), we all let out a collective sigh of relief—while checking the color of his eyes, of course.
The Crypts
Meanwhile, those seeking refuge in the crypts—a supposed “safe” zone—were not as secure as they believed, given that the enemy could raise the dead at will. Did nobody think that one through? Not all the children were cowering, though. Lyanna Mormont was a true warrior, bravely facing down a giant and delivering a fatal blow, making her the hero we all needed but lost too soon.
Melisandre and Daenerys
Melisandre’s unexpected yet noble actions didn’t go unnoticed by fans either. On the other hand, Daenerys’s attempts against the Night King were met with a mix of disappointment and humor on Twitter—her fiery breath ultimately did little to sway the battle.
Bran and Theon’s Farewell
Bran had us all scratching our heads until that final scene, and Theon’s exit was both poetic and heartbreaking. But the spotlight belonged to Arya. After years of training and waiting for this moment, she delivered that legendary blow to the Night King, ending the war in a single, triumphant stab. She’s our queen now—no matter what unfolds next.
Looking Ahead
As we gear up for next week, excitement brews for the anticipated showdown between Arya and Cersei. While we hope for less tension in the coming episodes, the unpredictability of this series means that no character is safe. For now, we’ll relish that unforgettable finale moment and savor the joy while it lasts.
