Week Three: The Night WAS Dark and FULL of Terrors
The highly anticipated Battle of Winterfell has come and gone, or — more accurately — come and left us all broken. Eleven weeks to film, 750 people on set, a 15 million dollar budget, and the longest run time of any Game of Thrones episode, resulting in one of the longest battle sequences in television history was bound to result in some memes, right? Right. Here are my favorites from the internet’s collective processing of all the stress, panic, anger, confusion, heartbreak, and sheer terror we all felt this past Sunday. Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones episode 8.03!
This Week’s Clear Front Runner: Trauma.

This Week’s Other Front Runner: Arya, of course.
We can all agree Arya truly went Sicko Mode this week.

We all know Arya’s one of the best fighters in Westeros, but I think it was safe to say no one quite saw that coming, particularly the Night King.
