Many internet users were taken aback by the utter darkness of the episode. \u201cDarkness\u201d here isn\u2019t used as a figure of speech to describe the tone of the show; it was literally dark. As in, it was hard to tell what was happening because the scenes were so poorly-lit.

One snarky Twitter user fiddler around with the brightness settings on his computer, for all the good it did.
Article says GOT is dark because the show\u2019s creators wanted it to be realistic.. ITS A SHOW ABOUT FLYING DRAGONS AND ZOMBIES, NO ONE IS HERE FOR REALISM \u2013 GIMME SOME LIGHT https:\/\/t.co\/nPPGOUYL2b

And another just went for the obvious.

Not counting redshirts and White Walkers, six characters ended their journeys last night. Some deaths were expected but still devastating, others were unexpected and devastating, and others were just devastating.
This picture of Lyanna Mormont pretty much captures the entire internet\u2019s feelings when she died.
Unpopular opinion: Lyanna Mormont was more useful than Jon and Dany on dragons combined. #GameOfThrones #BattleOfWinterfellpic.twitter.com\/0v8PnTpBDR

Another Twitter user mourned that Jorah Mormont, who was madly in love with Dany from the first episode, died while still in her Friend Zone.
The most tragic part of the battle of winterfell is that Ser Jorah Mormont died-without getting laid\u2026. He was friendzoned even in death.. Could not even get a deep long hug from Dany\u2026 Women are scum seh pic.twitter.com\/IAdCee7zYB

As for Theon, Twitter user @nabeeldenero was unwilling to forgive him for his many, many failures in the series, but gave him credit for dying heroically.

And then there was Dolorous Edd\u2019s death, which a Twitter user claims was caused by Sam Tarly\u2019s cowardice.
Moving forward, Samwell Tarly should be placed in the kitchen, preparing (and eating) food for the survivors because he was absolutely useless and caused Edd\u2019s death #gameofthronespic.twitter.com\/BBYCLdnrdn

Meanwhile, Melisandre died absent any real reason other than she felt it was time, plus something about a prophecy. It didn\u2019t make much sense to Twitter, either.

Beric Dondarrion, meanwhile, was neither a fan favorite nor particularly useful to the story. Still, he died nobly, and Twitter was willing to give him credit for that.

Just when it seemed that all was lost, Arya literally jumped into the frame and saved the entire world, and her brother, from certain doom. What\u2019s more, she did it with a little flim-flam.

Finally, here\u2019s a pic from Reddit user ElmonMordi, which doesn\u2019t really have much to do with last night\u2019s episode, but is still good for a laugh.
