澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game of Thrones season 8 was always leading to this point. Heck, the argument could🦹 be made that ever since the show’s very first scene, the Battle of Winterfell was its natural conclusion. And so it proved. We got everything that made us fell in love with Thrones in the first place: Shocks, deaths, shock deaths, and a battle that left us well and truly fatigued.
What a week it’s been – and Twitter was still in top form at the end of it. Here are the best reactions to Game of Thrones season 8, episode 3: The Battle of Winterfell. Spoilers follow…
The Red Woman returns
The Red Woman was lit AF. Literally. Melisandre returned this week, seemingly out of nowhere and for matters of plot convenience, after a gap year in Volantis. She didn’t find herself over there, but she did find out how to light everything on f꧋ire, which is handy.
I would like to thank Melisandre for increasing ღthe lighting in this episode by 100 #Ga🎃meofThrones #GoT pic.twitter.com/ngIQ5tHaDO

Melisandre's BIG RETURN was to cast ineffective fire AOEs and then die lik🌃e Bill in Kill Bill
A giant sacrifice
Lyanna vs. A White Walker giant. There’s only one winner there, right? Wrong. In one of the episod𓂃e’s first gut-wrenching deaths, the mini Mormont took to the frontlines and slayed the giant where it stood and fell in the process.

So. Many. Deaths.
But Lyan🌼na wasn’t the only one to pour a cold one out for on Sunday night. Theon, Beric, Edd, and Jorah also fell. Fans paid tribute to those who gave their life i🎐n battle – while others wondered why there weren’t a few more major deaths.
There were a lot of honorable deaths, and an unbelievable Arya but Theon Greyjoy’s last moment has to be remembered. A circle perfectly clos🦂ed and a goodbye to one of the most influential characters of the show “Theon, You’re a good man” #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/VyN7Ae8N5Z
ok but♒ Drogon mourning Jorah&rsqꦬuo;s death with Daenerys was probably one of the most heartbreaking scenes #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/jcQe5i5VjA
Did you 🐼guys notice that Jorah only dropped after he saw ꦗall the wights fall...the only thing keeping him going was protecting Daenerys man #GameofThrones #JorahMormont pic.twitter.com/wommDCeyH2
I feel like I'm the only one who wa🍸s kinda disappointed with the new BIG episode tonight. Last 30 min got a lot better but overall, guess wa𒐪s expecting big deaths. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/pncmgIxEs8
The Night King falls
Wait, what?! Yep. The Night King problem has been dealt with, and there are still three episodes to go. Whisper it, but it never seemed like Game of Thrones was all that concerned with making the White Walkers part of the fiꦅnale, but Arya’s killing blow left people disappoint📖ed all the same.

8 seasons to buildup the big bad Nightking and his 4 strong henchmen and he didnt even get a siꦕngle significant kill (theons death was assisted suicide) and they didnt even see the battlefield, im supposed to be satisfied?
The show is dark and full of terrors
Do not adjust your televisions. In fact, maybe you should. The opening half an hour of The Battle of Winterfell was plagued by blurry battle🎉s and dodgy darkness. And Twitter let everyone know about it.
This shit is so dark wtf. #GameOfThrones pic.𒅌twitter.com/7ros9trDEu

A gruelling week
Of course, Game of Thrones season 8 wasn’t the only show in town this week. A little production called 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame also broke our hearts and left us emotionally scarred. For🎉 many, it’s been the toughest week in forever.

An epic or a let-down?
Did it live up to expectations?🦩 It honestly seems like a 50/50 split out there. Many took umbrag♔e with the fact that everything was wrapped up a little too neatly without consequence, while others revelled in the show’s ability to break us down before building us back up again.
That may just have been THE most intense episode of television in history. I. AM. BROKEN. #GameOfThron⛎es pic.twitter.com/3fscuvH52J
Can&rs💛quo;t be the only one who kind of found that disappointing?ཧ #GameofThrones
Wow. I'm not surprised it wasn't good, but it's still disappointing what a let down #GameOfThrones was yikes. No stakes. Nearly every main character survived. Every𓆉thing was such a stretch, it happened offscreen. Writing, what writing?
I wish I was as geeked as everyone else, but I🌱 feel like I wasted 80 minutes watching something where only the last 10 or 15 minutes matter👍ed. Man that episode was as boring as I thought it would be #gameofthrones
Yes, the battle was boring. Believe it or not, some 🦩people don’t like random scenes of poorly lit fighting with absolutely zero real stakes. #GameofThr๊ones
