Unless you've been living under a rock full of dragon glass, you know that something Game of Thrones fans have been waiting five-plus seasons for finally happened: Dany unleashed her largest dragon on an army full of unsuspecting Lannisters, and pretty much torched them all.

The folks at The Burlington Bar in Chicago's Logan Square have been dutifully screening new Game of Thrones episodes as the show airs each Sunday night, then videotaping the audiences' stunned and elated reactions to all the badassery that's taken place so far this season. So we gleefully anticipated the sharing of this video, above, showing bar patrons watch Season 7, Episode 4's final, nail-biting scene.

Skip forward to 2:14 into the video to see the moment Drogon appears. It's a tense moment that just gets worse and worse as, for one of the first times in the show's history, fans are forced to choose between rooting for multiple well-developed, principle characters. Were you screaming during this episode? We were. As Tyrion, observing Jaime from afar, says: "Flee, you idiot."

Shout out to the woman in the video wearing a "Choose Violence" T-Shirt.
