Usually the online world is careful not to spoil any plot points for at least 24 hours after a show or movie has aired. On Monday however, this general consensus flew out the window when the third episode of Game of Thrones season eight blew minds away.
Fans took to Twitter, mercilessly expressing their anger, sadness and amazement at how the battle of Winterfell went down. Characters such as Arya Stark, Melisandre, The Night King and Theon Greyjoy trended on the platform for most of the day.
