‘Game of Thrones Series Finale Sparks Strong Reactions on Social Media

The final season of Game of Thrones triggered strong reactions, with loyal viewers questioning everything from the writing to the lighting.

The hit HBO drama from creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss concluded Sunday night. The ending was polarizing to say the least, with reactions burning up Twitter.

It seemed just about everyone had an opinion or meme to share. Some loved it, others hated it and a few were indifferent.

Among those chiming in were the drama’s cast members, Disney CEO Bob Iger, rapper-producer T-Pain, who’s apparently a super fan, and horror author Stephen King.

Check out some of the reactions below.

This is the end!!! #GameOfThronesFinale

So tonight we have our very last episode. It’s the final step of a long and wonderful journey. A journey that, for me, started at 10am on Monday 19th of July 2010. I know this because recently I found my rehearsal… https://t.co/TUJ46AlaS6
