Game of Thrones season 8: The internet reacts to the absolute madness of episode 5
Things got pretty crazy in there folks.
The Mad Queen?
It's been an up and down season for Game of Thrones. A dragon was killed in ways that frustrated and annoyed everyone, everyone got extremely angry when Jon Snow didn't pet Ghost and then the internet found a coffee cup on set and went buck wild.
This episode was all about the insane carnage.
OK, goes without saying but...
It started early with the burning of Varys. And the burning just didn't stop.
The question going in was simple: Was Dany about to become the Mad Queen, or was it all just a big swerve?
Yeah, they answered that pretty definitively.
Daenerys Targaryen basically set all of King's Landing on fire. The Bells rang out for surrender but Dany wasn't trying to hear that noise.
Soldiers: The bells are ringing!

Yep, Dany basically burned everything down and killed thousands of people. Not sure if King's Landing as we knew it even exists any more.

The carnage was insane and dramatic and very Game of Thrones , but did it make sense? Hmmmmm.....
I can't believe I had to watch that bullshit of an episode with my own two eyes #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/ue4hf0J18t

Even if Dany was pissed and wanted to destroy Cersei why wouldn’t she just go straight to the Red Keep instead of zig zagging destruction through the city IT MAKES NO SENSE #GameofThrones

I've been working very very hard not to do any spoilers but I will say this: I look forward to reading the book and seeing how #GameofThrones really ended.

Thoughts? Well, Mad Queen Dany is bad and everyone should feel bad. Very disappointed we spent a decade watching a really great female leader emerge, with a very cool and consistent "break the wheel" message only to have it completely turned around at the last, crucial minute. Not sure it entirely made sense, but I sure had a lot of fun watching it all unfold.
I do get the sense that a backlash to the backlash is imminent.
All the haters should just go to sleep. That episode was phenomenal. I’m sick of people’s negativity. Get outta here. #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/XBDqjDBJWi
