Sure we can’t see anything on #GameofThrones without squinting, but the thing is, it’s DARK at night and the ice dragon show is extremely committed to realism

UPDATE (April 22, 2019): Episode two of Game of Thrones‘ final season aired earlier tonight on HBO. To keep up with all the Internet jabs, we have compiled a list of the best memes from tonight’s episode.

WARNING: Spoilers lay ahead.

While last week’s season 8 premiere focused on all the reunions going on in Winterfell, episode two saw the characters preparing for the Battle of Winterfell. Take a look at some of the best memes poking fun at key moments in episode 2 including Bran Stark recollecting his climb up the tower, that special moment shared between Gendry and Arya, Brienne being knighted and the usual antics with Tormund below. Also included is the moment Jon tells Dany about his true heritage.

In case you’ve missed it, Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3 teaser reveals “the dead are already here.”

(April 16, 2019): After patiently waiting for almost two long years, Game of Thrones finally made its triumphant return to HBO on Sunday night with groundbreaking ratings.

WARNING: Spoilers lay ahead.

Although the season 8 premiere only ran just under an hour long, it gave viewers ample of time to catch up on cliffhangers left in season 7’s finale, as well as a chance to see main characters being reunited in Winterfell and shocking revelations being revealed.

Of course with GoT being such a cultural impact to today’s society, what would we do without a few good memes floating around the Internet? Below is a round up of the best memes from Game of Thrones‘ Season 8 premiere which touches upon Bran Stark’s constant staring, Cersei Lannister and her missing elephants, and Jon Snow finding out his real identity, amongst other topics.

Keep it locked here on this space as we’ll be updating it weekly. To keep up, Winterfell prepares for battle in next week’s GoT episode.
