Game of Thrones: Twitter is raving about that fiery last scene from The Spoils of War
Updated : August 28, 2017 01:01 PM ISTSPOILERS AHEAD
What’s the next best thing to an episode of Game of Thrones? People’s reaction on Twitter of course.
Fans are raving about the latest episode of HBO’s hit fantasy drama, The Spoils of War. From a long-pending reunion of the Stark family to a cathartic battle scene where Daenerys unleashed her fire-breathing dragon on the Lannister army, they loved it all.
Because the episode was leaked a few days ago and many had already seen it before the official screening, the reactions have really piled up.
The episode was scheduled to be aired on Monday morning. The leak originated from Star India that streams GoT via Hotstar. Star India has also acknowledged the “compromise.” The file, which is being circulated on the internet, confirms that the episode is the season’s shortest yet. It lasts 50 minutes. The video features a Star India watermark and “an internal viewing only” warning.
Most are psyched about the last battle scene:
That episode of @GameOfThrones was ?. Get it? Cause the dragon?

Game of Thrones, at its core, has always been a show about how much it sucks to be a horse

Some had opinions about Bran and his Three Eyed Raven persona:
All of Bran's friends are dead and can't carry him anymore so some Game of Thrones writer was like, "Fuck it, wheelchairs exist now."

Arya: we have a lot to catch up on. How's your life been

"He's a philosophy major now."
Some are just gloating about never having watched an episode, and getting thrashed by fans in the process:
I don't watch Game of Thrones but I enjoy the fact that our civilization still gets off on dragon content

Off. The. Hook. Tonight.*
*Just kidding. Never seen an episode.
"I don't even watch Game of Thrones" is the new "I don't even own a TV"... or "I don't eat anything with gluten anymore."

I'm always confused when people brag about not watching Game of Thrones. Congrats on not enjoying this thing everybody else is, I guess.
