After every new episode of Game of Thrones airs social media goes into a meltdown.

Entertainment Weekly revealed that Twitter has created a fascinating infographic that shows which Thrones characters are talked about the most, how they are connected and even the emojis that are used to describe each of them.

Various characters are grouped together showing the different storylines that have emerged. The lines that go between characters show how they have been linked together in the discussion, and the size of each character's dots, show the frequency in which they are talked about.

For example, in this week's episode, Blood of My Blood, some of the most talked about characters were Benjen Stark, Samwell Tarly, King Tommen and Daenerys Targaryen who all had important moments in the episode.

Of all of them, Daenerys was the most talked about character after she was reunited with her dragon and gave a stirring speech to her followers.

There was also a strong line going between Brienne and Tormund as fans theorise about their potential romance. There were also plenty of winky face and heart emojis accompanying the tweets about them.
