It's a bittersweet year for fans of HBO's Game of Thrones.The wildly popular fantasy saga, based on books penned by George R. R. Martin, is entering its eighth and final season. HBO dropped the official trailer for the climactic ending and, well, the people are freaking out. It's a dark two minute clip that packs a punch of dragons, ice, and a whole lot of death. Here's what everyone thinks.

Louisiana author Diana Rowland spins tales of urban fantasy and Sci-Fi. While she's been published for nearly two decades, she's also worked "as a bartender, a blackjack dealer, a pit boss, a street cop, a detective, a computer forensics specialist, a crime scene investigator, and a morgue assistant." It's no surprise, then, that her Christmas decorations reflect her colorful past. While some people opt for sweet nativity scenes or light-up reindeer, Rowland prefers something a little more fantastical grace her grassy lawn. Dragons.
Dragons seem to be pretty en vogue at the moment, thanks, undoubtedly to shows like Game of Thrones. Unfortunately for Rowland, it would seem that dragon-mania seems to have skipped her corner of Mandeville, LA. After putting up her display for the holiday, she received a very judgmental and very capitalized email from an anonymous neighbor. The note claims that the display is "only marginally acceptable at Halloween," and "totally inappropriate at Christmas." The note-writer goes on to say the neighbors are wondering if her family belongs to a demonic cult. Rowland used her classic sense of humor and gifted the note to Facebook and Twitter. People instantly sprang to her support, and even more so - the support of her dragons. Take it all in below.
Spoliers ahead!
Last night's episode was a seriously wild ride. While nothing was incredibly surprising, there's no denying our excitement over that Stark revenge, the ice dragon...and yes...#BOATSEX. These memes are the only things getting us through the agonizing TWO YEAR wait for the next (and final) season.
Valar morghulis!
SPOILERS!
Things are always real on this show, but things just got REALLY REAL! A lot happened in what felt like the slowest episode this season. As has become the norm, some characters got burnt to a crisp by Drogon, someone got knocked up, a seemingly missing character is back in a serious way, and we learned some very interesting information on Jon's parentage. Here are our favorite memes and reactions - hopefully they'll help tide you over until Jon Snow's wight-fighting dream goes after the army of the dead!
Has your heartbeat slowed since last night's epic episode, "The Spoils of War?" We're still shook. The show's creators managed to pack an incredible amount of action into the shortest run time in Game of Thrones history. Twitter agrees; everyone seems to think it was, quite literally, LIT.
