The 'GoT' Premiere Date Announcement Is So Cray

Fans of Game of Thrones found themselves rushing to their Facebook Live-viewing devices on Thursday, Mar. 9 for what they were told would be the announcement of the Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere date. A post from the official Facebook page claimed, "Join us today on Facebook Live at 2PM ET to help reveal the #GoTS7 premiere date." And so, fans tuned in. The results of the video were certainly surprising, and some fans had the best reactions to the announcement... and a whole lot of questions about what happened to the Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere date video.

Shortly after 2 p.m. things got... interesting. The live video showed a giant block of ice with some sort of metal plate frozen inside sitting on a dais surrounded by the sort of lanterns Daenerys Targaryen used to kill the roomful of Khals. Fans were prompted to type "FIRE" in the comments, so someone off screen with what looked like a flamethrower could torch the ice block, revealing the date. Unsurprisingly, torching a giant ice block takes a zillion and a half years, so fans sat for 10 minutes, staring at this slow-melting (perhaps slower than other large blocks of ice) icy cube. Meanwhile, cast members like Bran Stark actor Isaac Hempstead Wright urged fans to comment "fire" as a means of melting the ice.

And then the video abruptly ended, leaving fans bewildered and wondering when they'd get that beloved premiere date. The video has continued to flicker on and off throughout its live stream.

While we were all losing our minds — and the video was finally coming back — some fans had the best reactions.
