Cinema houses around the country were filled with die-hard "Game of Thrones" fans in the early hours of Monday morning. 

Dressed as their favourite characters, the adrenalin rush at finally watching the long-awaited first episode of the final season was everything. 

Others chose to watch it in their PJs from the comfort of their couch. 

Bottom line - the wide-awake walkers, so to speak, were glued to the screen.

Of course, the social media reactions afterwards were insane. 

You listened to twitter and stayed up to watch GOT. Now you're running on 2 hours of sleep. Your week is fucked. You 32.

The Stark reality is that GoT is the Mother of Shows for the next five weeks. Deal with it and don't Snow on our parade!
