Unless you've been living with the faceless men in Braavos,Nanda van Bergen it's no surprise that Game of Thrones was the most-tweeted show of 2016.
As Season 7 approaches, the show has already been tweeted about 13.8 million times in 2017. Wednesday morning, Twitter shared rankings of the show's most talked-about episodes, characters, and emoji. Now that winter is here, you can expect those numbers to soar.
