The Long Flight – Aftermath

Melisandre death The LOng NIght

So this is a Twitter post addendum, basically.

You’d think two posts per episode would be enough.

CLEARLY NOT. There is still a lot to unpack with this. The Long Night was quite possibly the most divisive episode in Game of Thrones history. It broke records, y’all. It was the most tweeted-about single episode of television in the history of… tweeting about… television.

There were discussions to be had.

So let’s see—in the minutes, hours, and days that followed—what Twitter had to say!

Firstly, some GoT luminaries had their varied reactions:

Maisie re-Tweeted this:

There was a lot of excitement, even in the american sports world:

Athletes love GoT.

Oh, and this exchange happened:

loooooooooooooooool

Oh, and the other Isaac:

In general, the fandom was pretty hyped following 80 minutes of T E N S E.

…Not entirely inaccurate!

Wholly accurate!

We’ll get to individual kudos in a bit.

omfg

Goddamned reddit nerds. GO BACK TO 4CHAN YOU DOINKS!

(I honestly don’t know the difference between reddit and 4chan, so I can totally talk shit if I want.)

This too is my headcanon.

Bruh.

SHOUT IT TO THE RAFTERS HARLEY

Who da REAL MVP doe??

Y’all kill me. I get not liking Dany (or whoever) for whatever reason, but some of y’all take your anti-stan obsessions to sad and ridiculous levels. GTFO.

You’re not #BANNED, you’re #BLOCKED.

(LBR the only character who really deserves this kind of hate is…

…Oly of course. I mean, that dude can die in a fire am I right guys??????!!!!!!1111111ONE)

But for the most part, Twitter had one name breaking the internet:

A LITTLE less.

lol

I’m’a go with THAT one.

People were still talking about the dim lighting…

People also still had PROPHESY questions…

Heathen King out here winning.

The fandom still discussing shit the next day! This is literal watercooler talk.

But you know. The Twitter version.

Mm. Interesting.

I literally asked for this:

And I got it. FML.

That still sits in the pit of my stomach, no lie.

Well done, wee bear!

Wow, the Mary Sue taking time away from their usual pearl-clutching to actually give us some funny snark. Good on you, ‘Sue.

I would have enjoyed that too!

I don’t get the Dany hate. Not for this episode, at least. I have no idea if it was her idea to send the Dothraki into that sea of death in the first place. (Irony: the poisoned sea DID kill the Dothraki!)

It could be argued, however, that having the Dothraki there accomplished nothing. More fodder for the Night King’s army. A better idea would have been to send them away and await word for the wars to come. Or at the very least have them strafe the dead with flame arrows.

Cersei’s sure glad they were sent into the fray!

So who sent them into that ocean of death? ….I’m’a blame Tyrion.

(I have no proof it was his idea. I just like to blame Tyrion.)

That’s such a JETS thing to do.

(I don’t blame ’em though.)

Y’ALL NEED TO STOP

I feel like people are sleeping on Bran..

BUT NOT THIS GUY:

So another day passed…

Ouch, bro.

The Drake curse is REAL.

Someone’s Wikipedia game is sharp:

LEGEND.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! You go, Soph!!

Lastly:

ALT_QTHULHU WITH WHAT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT TWEET OF THE WEEK.

BET. You know who’s COMIN’ for you, Gregor!

And with that we are done for this week!

See y’all again… in a few short days!
