Game of Thrones is over.
We are in mourning.
But, through the tears, we have gathered the data for the last episode ever.
Here we go.
We’re going to reveal spikes in conversation and the top characters being mentioned. You’ll have to scroll across to see what causes mention spikes, but please be aware there are spoilers in there.
Our advice? If you’ve not watched the episode yet, come back and read this later.
During the time the show was aired live:
Episode 6 was the top tweeted episode of the whole of Season 8, followed by episode 3 (The Long Night).
The biggest spikes in conversation occurred towards the end of the show, as fans mourned the end of Game of Thrones forever.
That said, there are definitely some big moments (our favorite was canine-related, and it seems that was reflected on social too).
If you’ve watched the episode, you may be surprised to know who ends up as the top-mentioned character this episode – and by a fair few tweets, too.
Scroll across to find out who it is.
