As everyone knows, last night’s Game of Thrones was one for the history books. The longest battle in television history was absolutely iconic and one to remember. But, as we all know, that shit was dark as FUCK. It was almost impossible to see anything and half of us were sitting at home like: “WHO IS THAT? JAIME? JORAH? JON? I CAN’T SEE!”
So, if you’re still sitting with your head up in Winterfell, wondering how in God’s name Arya Stark got through an army of dead people to save her brother Bran, we pulled some of the lightest photos from the episode we could find—you know, for your viewing pleasure.
