Game of Thrones season 5 leak: Best reactions as fans celebrate arrival of four illegal episodes

Others are struggling with the moral dilemma of whether to revise or tune in

Maisie Williams toughens up as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones (HBO)

Shouty capital letters, beaming and crying emoticons and a ton of exclamation marks are the order of the day as Game of Thrones fans face the unprecedented moral dilemma of whether or not to stream the leaked episodes of season five.

Pirate versions of the hotly-awaited new instalments began appearing on Torrent sites a day before the HBO show’s premiere, which could come as a bigger surprise given the TV series has been the most illegally downloaded in the world for the past three years.

Many viewers seem to be echoing “Bohemian Rhapsody” in their tweets, repeatedly asking whether this leak is real life or just fantasy, while some frustrated students are trying to resist the temptation to sack off revision and tune in to Westeros instead.

Others just want to be good earthly citizens and avoid breaking the law, if they can possibly help it (they probably can’t).

Here are some of the best reactions seen so far:

To revise or not to revise? That is the big question

But it's illegal...what to do?

This is what true happiness feels like
