People Cannot Get Over How Wild "House Of The Dragon" Was This Week — Here Are The Best Jokes

"Patiently waiting for the death of Ser Criston Cole."

As hoped, this week's House of the Dragon episode, "The Green Council," (which, BTW, is the penultimate episode of the season! *sob*) was QUITE the spectacle.

Alicent looking upset

Things got very intense down at King's Landing, and I think it's safe to say we're all big time Rhaenys Targaryen stans now. I am, anyway.

Rhaenys looking contemplative

Of course, fans on Twitter had PLENTY to say about the entire episode, so here's a look at their best and funniest reactions:

Note: If you haven't caught up with the show (what are you waiting for?!), keep in mind that there are spoilers ahead!
