S**T GOT REAL on Game of Thrones this weekend, guys.

You already know that, of course, if you live on Earth because social media virtually exploded as people aired their thoughts and feelings about what happpened.

Lest you missed them, here are some of the best reactions to the Game of Thrones episode everyone is talking about.  Beware of some salty language, people are very passionate, y’see.

(We’re spoiler free here on DailyEdge.ie, so you don’t need to worry about that.)

Then of course there were those people who’d read the books, and therefore knew what was coming.  (SMUG ALERT.)

Some of the people who knew what was coming chose to film their non-reading loved one’s reactions.  If you’ve seen the episode already you may find this compilation of reactions amusing.

The whole book reading vs. non book reading divide is handily summed up in this image.

Then, of course, there are those who start their Leaving Cert tomorrow and are so desperate for a distraction from studying that they're using their trauma as an excuse.

Poor, poor Leaving Cert students.

Did you watch Game of Thrones?  Are you traumatised?  Let us know in the comments - but no spoilers please!
