        • Watching Twitter tonight completely justified my lifetime of being a nerd that resulted in reading the books thirteen years ago.

              I hate twitter as well, I never use it, but this is golden.

              • I archived the stream - have to go back through it because it was going by so fast I could barely read it. A couple that I noticed:

                "Dear #WalkingDead,

                You are a ****ing Disney Cartoon.


                Love,
                #GameOfThrones"

                "Next week on the #GameofThrones season finale, everyone has ice cream and doesn't want to talk for awhile, okay?"

                "This is why you always go with a DJ over a band at a wedding"

                "When a guy greets you at a wedding with a slow clap, you should probably run. #gameofthrones #redwedding"

                "Eagerly waiting for the scene where George RR Martin kills off George RR Martin"

                "George RR Martin eats his corn flakes drenched in the tears of his fans"

                ...and a bunch of people saying they're taking the day off work tomorrow, some saying they're never watching again, some saying they're going to read the books now so this never happens again, etc.

                  • And people on the Westeros board had been moaning for weeks that the show would RUIN EVERYTHING (again!) because it hadn't given anyone a reason to care about Robb so the Unsullied wouldn't give a **** about the Red Wedding...

                    • The internet is ****ing mad. This is hilarious.

                      • I was wondering just how mad the Internet would be, since I didn't think the show nurtured as close a connection to Cat & Robb, and there were fewer Freys around them, and almost nothing at all about guest rights...

                        And holy hell, it is like Ned times 10. Delicious.

                          • I had a couple over to watch with us (they don't have HBO), and one of them curled up into a fetal position as it happened shouting "WHAT THE ****?" and almost covering her eyes. It was glorious.

                            I'm having my mom over tonight to watch it...she usually needs some explaining as the show goes on. She also hasn't read the books.

                              Because reading the RW was less impactful?

                              • I also loved how they even managed--amazingly--to pull the rug out from under we book readers as well, what with the Worst C-Section Ever. I was 100% certain that Blackfish was going to manage to get Talisa out of there.

                                I was, and remain, completely ****ing shocked by that.
