Twitter Can’t Stop Joking About ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 7

This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 1 “Dragonstone”.

Game Of Thrones Season 7 kicked off last night with “Dragonstone” (our review here). Strong emotions were expressed on social media, and not just by people whose sexy violent funtimes were interrupted by HBO Now crashing. Arya (Maisie Williams) smoked some fools and proved Williams wasn’t exaggerating when she said “Holy balls, sh*t gets real” in Season 7.

We already recapped some of Twitter’s reaction to guest star Ed Sheeran playing a Lannister soldier, but people on Twitter really couldn’t stop making jokes about his cameo:

Friends, please tell me more about how seeing Ed Sheeran in your dragon show is unrealistic.

As all TRUE Game of Thrones fans know, George R.R. Martin wrote Ed Sheeran's cameo into the books years ago

You can be mad at @edsheeran on #GameOfThones or you can be grateful they didn't set Daenerys' big homecoming scene to "Castle on the Hill."

I can't believe you guys all know what Ed Sheeran looks like.

More importantly, Arya did the thing, and we are here for it:

This episode was definitely a good one for female characters:

Jon: Stop undermining me.

Sansa: LOLOL no

Daario: Daenerys doesnt need a friend. She needs you to be her rock

The only thing better than Lady Mormont's speech is Brienne's heart eyes for her. #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/CLE85eX27r

Meanwhile, people shared their thoughts regarding Samwell Tarly’s life in the Citadel:

Sam literally just became Harry Potter… talking to Slughorn and trying to get into the restricted section of the library. #gameofthrones

And others had plenty to say about Euron Greyjoy:

But mostly they just wanted to make jokes about his anachronistic fashion choices:

Everyone is hanging out in medieval armor and Euron Greyjoy out here looking like Bam Margera. #GameofThrones

— James Skrmetta (@jskrmetta) July 17, 2017

Euron Greyjoy absolutely shops at Hot Topic.

You, versus the Euron Greyjoy they warn you about pic.twitter.com/2a3NFvTp16

And while some viewers were making comments about how seeing Ed Sheeran distracted them from their dragon show, other people were finding different nits to pick:

— leon (@leyawn) July 17, 2017

Jon Snow's problem is he doesn't have a message beyond opposing the Boltons and breathless conspiracy theories about White Walker collusion.

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) July 16, 2017

I hope the women of #GameOfThrones take over everything, including making TV showrunners give them wigs that looks semi-realistic.

— Dan Telfer (@dantelfer) July 17, 2017

Least realistic thing in all of Game of Thrones is how cool everyone is with walking up massive staircases.

Is it Sunday again yet
