Twitter’s Got Jokes About The Newest ‘Game Of Thrones’ Episode, ‘Beyond The Wall’

This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 6 “Beyond The Wall”.

Game Of Thrones went “Beyond The Wall” for the penultimate episode of this season (our review here). Of course, most of the reactions people shared on social media were about The Night King spearing Viserion the dragon (video here) and then turning a freakin’ dragon into a member of his undead army. But there were other big moments, like Benjen Stark returning after a long absence and– oh, that escalated quickly.

But thankfully they’ve unlocked fast travel this season (because f*ck geography), so their call for help arrived just in time.

And so the real battle began. At the outset of the dragons vs. White Walkers scene, before things turned tragic, some were saying it’s about time they used the dragons.

We quickly learned why they maybe shouldn’t have brought dragons in the first place:
