Actors dressed up, ate branded foods, and sat on their own thrones to celebrate the beginning of the end.
Topics cover everything from the clear tension between the newly acquainted Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) to Cersei's (Lena Headey) disappointment with the Golden Company over the lack of elephants they promised.

Well, fans weren't unaware of the irony, and they got creative with their memes for this encounter.
