While we have to say the last few Game of Thrones episodes have really tested how much we can take emotionally, last night's season finale did the most damage.
If you found yourself screaming at your TV last night, just know you weren't alone. We haven't felt this upset about a GoT death since the Red Wedding. A video that was released on YouTube today showed a compilation of folks' reactions to the very last scene where our beloved Jon Snow was viciously stabbed to death. (Though you can read some fan theories about what his death means here.)
While people who read George R.R. Martin's books saw this coming, there's a huge number of sole GoT TV-show watchers who were completely shocked. They recorded themselves watching the season finale knowing that there was going to be something crazy that would happen. You can see people cursing (NSFW BTW), screaming, and sobbing in front of their cameras in the video below. It's hilarious, and at the same time, we want to say, "I feel you, bro."
