The following post contains spoilers for the Game of Thrones season eight premiere.

I'm not sure if you've heard by now, but Game of Thrones [1] is back, baby! After a nearly two-year-long break, the HBO drama made its long-awaited return to TV on Sunday night, and as we could've expected, there was A LOT of ground to cover [2] to get the show back on the road.

Naturally, the internet wasn't short on memes and funny reactions to the season eight premiere [3]. One particular moment that stood out to everyone occurs early on in the episode when Lyanna Mormont [4] sums up her disapproval of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's already-complicated relationship [5] with a speech in front of all of the northern nobles.

Her speech, in which she questions why Jon would give up his title of King in the North to bend the knee to Daenerys, garnered her a ton of praise from fans online who have essentially been wondering the exact same thing. Ahead, see how fans showed their appreciation for one of the show's most underrated characters.
