Our Favorite ‘Game of Thrones’ Fan Reactions to the Epic Battle of Winterfell
Last night’s episode of Game of Thrones was jaw-dropping! The episode played out beautifully – even though it was extremely stressful. And the ending couldn’t have been more satisfying for us diehard fans, and for me personally, The Battle of Winterfell, more than lived up to the hype.
Curious what the overall fan reaction was to the most shocking moment of the episode? See below!

Lyanna Mormont Killing that Giant
Unfortunately, Lyanna was a goner, but she went out in a pretty epic way – killing a giant ten times her size.

Theon becoming “a good man”
Finally, the redemption we’ve been waiting for from Theon Greyjoy. Theon came full circle in his last moments protecting Bran. Most fans can agree that he turned out to be a good man, and his death devastated a lot of us fans. If only he could’ve waited for Arya to arrive…
this is all theon wanted to hear from bran, to know that he has gained respect before he died, after everything they've been through HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/Hc5q6P83kG

Jorah dies protecting Daenerys
Jorah proved his loyalty to his Khaleesi. As a result, he fulfilled his ultimate promise to protect and die for Daenerys. It was heartbreaking!

I was already an emotional wreck seeing Jorah die in Daenerys arms but seeing Drogon there protecting and mourning with her made me even more emotional. RIPJorah! #GameOfThrones #DemThrones pic.twitter.com/X9jz1vV5cZ

Arya slaying the Night King
Without a doubt, Arya killing the Night King is the best moment in Game of Thrones history. While watching that scene, you go from terror to victory in two seconds. And it’s freaking glorious.
All hail Arya of House Stark, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Azor Ahai, Changer of Faces, Wielder of Needle, Killer of House Frey, Slayer of Night King, Hero of Mankind, Savior of the North, and Protector of the Realm. #NotToday pic.twitter.com/yQYUsYkv27

Of course, there were many more incredible moments of the episode like Tyrion and Sansa in the Crypts or Melisandre walking to her death.
Now, all we can do is wait for the next episode of Game of Thrones which comes out this Sunday, May 5, 2019. You can watch the trailer below, and we’d love to hear thoughts and theories on what’s to come – and what gave you the biggest reaction from last night’s Battle of Winterfell. Check out our comment section below!
So, what does this mean for the rest of the season? Think about this – Theon completed his arc and came full circle and died. Jorah finished his journey and died. So now, Arya has fulfilled her purposed so will she die? I’m being serious. If her purpose was to defeat the Night King then her character arc is fulfilled.
You definitely have a good point – and I’m not sure if this something to read into or not – But Maise posted an Instagram photo last year that said #lastwomanstanding – granted I don’t think HBO would have let her get away with giving away spoilers – and it could have just meant that she was the last female filming….. but Arya still has at least one more favor she can call in. I don’t think she’ll die before she calls it in. But that’s just my thoughts 🙂 Almost everyone is game at this point with 3 episodes left.
