Twitter Can't Stop Joking About 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7

This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 1 “Dragonstone”.

Game Of Thrones Season 7 kicked off last night with “Dragonstone” (our review here). Strong emotions were expressed on social media, and not just by people whose sexy violent funtimes were interrupted by HBO Now crashing. Arya (Maisie Williams) smoked some fools and proved Williams wasn’t exaggerating when she said “Holy balls, sh*t gets real” in Season 7.

We already recapped some of Twitter’s reaction to guest star Ed Sheeran playing a Lannister soldier, but people on Twitter really couldn’t stop making jokes about his cameo:

As all TRUE Game of Thrones fans know, George R.R. Martin wrote Ed Sheeran's cameo into the books years ago

You can be mad at @edsheeran on #GameOfThones or you can be grateful they didn't set Daenerys' big homecoming scene to "Castle on the Hill."

I can't believe you guys all know what Ed Sheeran looks like.

More importantly, Arya did the thing, and we are here for it:

This episode was definitely a good one for female characters:

The only thing better than Lady Mormont's speech is Brienne's heart eyes for her. #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/CLE85eX27r

Meanwhile, people shared their thoughts regarding Samwell Tarly’s life in the Citadel:

Six seasons of violence and gore and death and the worst thing I've ever seen on #GameofThrones is Sam's daily life montage.

And others had plenty to say about Euron Greyjoy:

Cersei: you murdered your own brother
Euron: you should try it

But mostly they just wanted to make jokes about his anachronistic fashion choices:

Everyone is hanging out in medieval armor and Euron Greyjoy out here looking like Bam Margera. #GameofThrones

And while some viewers were making comments about how seeing Ed Sheeran distracted them from their dragon show, other people were finding different nits to pick:

ok i watched game of thrones. why was there a big ass castle just up for grabs. why did no one put a unit in there to get resources at least

Least realistic thing in all of Game of Thrones is how cool everyone is with walking up massive staircases.
