Irish mammy’s reaction to the latest episode of Game of Thrones is everyone of us

We love this.

Alan Loughnane

This was a familiar scene watching Monday’s episode…

We’re sure that people up and down the country were losing their sh*t at the drama as it unfolded in Monday night’s episode of Game of Thrones.

We hope that you’ve seen it at this stage but if you haven’t, be wary, as their may be some spoilers contained in this article.

Tracie Blackshields from Cork is a massive Game of Thrones fan, just like her entire family. She’s watched the show with her sons since it premiered in 2011 and understandably, has become very involved in the show.

Her favourite characters are Ser Jorah Mormont and of course, the dragons… you can probably see where this is going, right?

Seán, her son, believes that her love for the dragons stems from her two dogs Minty and Dylan, but as we’re sure you know by now, it wasn’t a great episode for you if dragons are your favourites.

Sneakily, Seán had watched the episode prior to his mother, and decided to film her reaction throughout the episode including the moment when the Night King proved he was a world class thrower of a javelin.

Does this look familiar to you?

The moments where she’s hiding behind her jumper are a personal highlight for us and mirror perfectly our reactions the reactions of our friends as they watched those breathtaking final minutes.

Cheers to Seán Houlihan for sending this our way.
