Game of Thrones Season 4 Finale: The best Twitter reactions

Warning: Spoilers ahead The finale of Game of Thrones’ fourth season was one of the longest episodes of the show at 66 minutes and delivered hardened Game of Thrones fans a fresh shock. The episode was named “The Children” and given that it aired on Father’s Day it offered one of the biggest surprises to the show’s fans. SPOILERS FOLLOW: Tyrion killed his father Lord Tywin Lannister in the end, after catching his father in bed with his own lover Shae. But as this piece in The Verge notes, “the scene was miserable, gloomy; revenge without catharsis.” For fans though, Tyrion’s revenge was especially sweet given that it came on father’s day. It should be noted that the season began with the death of Joffrey which gave fans something to cheer about, especially since they were still smarting  after the horror of the death of Robb Stark, his mother, his wife and his pet direwolf in last season’s Red Wedding.
