In April 2018, Game of Thrones assistant director Jonathan Quinlan posted his thank you note to everyone on the show for their involvement in what amounted to a battle sequence that wrapped after 55 consecutive nights.
Now, a year later, the Battle of Winterfell has come to a dramatic end, concluding what was the largest and longest battle in TV history.
The #BattleOfWinterfell ❄️
• Took 55 days to film
• 750 people on scene
• Longest #GameofThrones episode ever (82 min)
• Longest battle sequence in film or TV history & longer than LotR's Battle of Helm's Deep
• Miguel Sapochnik directing (Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards) pic.twitter.com/1eBPECtyFJ— Game of Thrones Facts (@thronesfacts) April 28, 2019
To cap it all off, fans of the show were busy tweeting away, and some memes turned out to be classics.
