Last night's episode of Game of Thrones was not just the penultimate episode of the season, but it was the penultimate episode of the entire show. With so little time to pay off the journey we've all been on since 2011, they've been going all out with extra-long, extra-expensive episodes that more than show off their budget.

Check out the preview for next week's final episode:

Now that we're getting closer to the end, not everyone is happy. In fact, there are a significant portion of the fanbase who are feeling a little conflicted over how the show has turned out so far. Beyond those complicated feelings, however, there's something far more simple that we can all get behind: the memes.

Usually, quick-witted Twitter users provide some hilarious jokes and reactions to the last episode to be aired, and this week is no different. Check some of them out below (spoilers, obviously):

We're never all going to agree on what makes a great Game of Thrones episode, and the debate over the next week's episode is sure to go on for a long time. Saying that - the memes will always be great, and Twitter reactions will always be a fun place to turn to the morning after.
