Welcome back to tvDownload’s social media column — written for the people and by the people, like some kind of millennials’ Pravda. It’s where you can come to find out what the internet is saying about your favorite shows, and to see what new stuff might be worth checking out. You do want to fit in with the rest of us, don’t you, comrade?
There was really only one show people were talking about this week: the return of a little something called Game of Thrones. I mean, this shit even got its own emoji – which we think is a tiny Iron Throne?
Bruuh #GameOfThrones emoji so damn mighty

There was build-up in the days before, as people posted photos that dripping with anticipation just like blood dripped from the ashen face of Jon Snow when last we left the show.

On Sunday night, people dressed up for viewing parties… or to excitedly watch alone in their studio apartments while chomping leftover pizza.

Even pets got in the spirit of things! Or at least they pretended to care about Westeros goings-on in order to secure treats.

And the verdict? Was it an exciting episode?
#GameofThrones Entire episode discussed trade tariffs in Pentos. A bit dense, but necessary background info. Gj guest director George Lucas!
— Raul Pudd (@leducviolet) April 25, 2016
Just kidding. There was definitely bloodshed and betrayal and nary an Ewok in sight.
as usual the episode was shocking… WHEN IS JON SNOW COMING BACK TO LIFE AND WTF IS UP WITH MELISANDRE #GameofThrones
— ㅤ (@scorchedanakin) April 25, 2016
Just saw the start of probably another great season of #GameofThrones to great endings and twists for exiting new beginnings.

Ohh I missed you dearly #GameofThrones

It wasn't action packed, but somehow it explained the storyline to the viewers… #GameofThrones

The ending seems to have caused quite a stir. We may have screamed a little ourselves.
