If you wanted to maintain your person card, you watched Game of Thrones‘ Battle of the Bastards episode last night. I’m going to be the asshole and I’m not going to provide you with the lick of information about the actual episode because I refuse to give you the leg up in conversation when you fucked up and didn’t watch.
All you need to know is people are calling this one the best episodes ever. Better than the episode with the Red Wedding even. According to Uproxx:
“The Battle of the Bastards” is already the highest rated episode of the entire series on IMDb, with a perfect 10.0 rating, or 0.1 higher than “The Rains of Castamere” and “Hardhome”.
But Twitter is the definitive critic of all things good and bad in the world and those fucking tweeple fucking love it.
Wow that was the best episode of #GameofThrones ever! NBA + GOT FTW TONIGHT! 👏👏👏👏
