As a fervent follower of Game of Thrones, the first thing I do following the latest episode is dive into Twitter to see what everyone’s buzzing about. I often find that my thoughts—like, seriously, why was the lighting so terrible last night?—are echoed by my fellow fans, but mostly, I’m there for the laughs and the endless stream of memes.
Last night’s heart-pounding hour and 22-minute Battle of Winterfell was nothing short of breathtaking, heartbreaking, and filled with memorable moments. Fortunately, much of its brilliance can be captured in these tweetable gems.
The Battle Begins
To start, the poor visibility during the battle drove Twitter into a frenzy. The struggle to identify which beloved characters might be meeting their end added to the tension. The initial moments of light were overshadowed by the swift demise of the Dothraki army. Seeing them charge valiantly into battle, only to be extinguished like birthday candles in mere seconds, was a grim omen.
After eight seasons of loyalty to Daenerys, they were just… gone? Seriously? That was one of the most distressing moments of the episode, and it hit hard, right from the start. My anxiety levels were already through the roof.
Moments of Relief and Heartbreak
When Jorah emerged from the Dothraki charge unscathed (but where’s Ghost? Come back, pup!), we all exhaled in relief while also checking the color of his eyes. Meanwhile, while the battle raged outside, the non-combatants—women, children, and Winterfell residents—were huddled in the crypts, supposedly the “safest” spot, which turned out to be a terrible idea given that the enemy can literally resurrect the dead. Not the best planning there, folks.
Not all kids were hiding, though. Lyanna Mormont went out like the fierce little warrior she was, taking on a giant wight with her dragon glass, bravely stabbing him in the eye. Her heroic demise left us all heartbroken and unforgettable.
Unexpected Heroics
Melisandre’s unexpected heroics didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter, though many fans were less than impressed with the Dragon Queen’s effort. Her attempt to take down the Night King with a fiery blast from Drogon ultimately fell flat. Still, Twitter found a way to make it entertaining.
Bran’s cryptic behavior left us scratching our heads until that climactic scene, while Theon’s farewell was both fitting and gut-wrenching. And then, there was Arya. Her big moment, finally taking down the Night King with a single, glorious stab after years of training, had Twitter in a frenzy. She’s our queen now, no matter what happens next.
Looking Ahead
As we prepare for the upcoming episode, fans are buzzing about the highly anticipated showdown between Arya and Cersei. Here’s hoping the next installment is a bit less anxiety-inducing, although with this show, nothing is ever safe. Perhaps not today, but next week could see some beloved characters meet their end. For now, we’ll relish Arya’s victory and watch that epic moment on repeat.
