If there’s one thing that the last season of Game of Thrones has done, besides kill almost every character, it’s divided fans. And after sticking through eight seasons of the show, it seems they have a right to be angry.
The penultimate episode of the series, which aired last night on HBO, delivered some real craziness. Unfortunately, however, it’s the twists and deaths that have longtime fans in an uproar.
