The water-cooler moments returned to HBO with the season-six premiere of "Game of Thrones." (Sorry, "Vinyl.")

The show's millions of fans were no doubt salivating to know if Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is dead or alive, if Daenerys could once again charm her Dothraki captors, and how Melisandre (Carice van Houten) earned the premiere episode's title, "The Red Woman."

As viewers pressed their noses to the screens, they had their hands busy reacting on social media. Social-media monitoring platform Brandwatch found an astounding 176,000 Twitter mentions during the one-hour premiere and identified the moments where conversation peaked.

Here are the five most talked-about moments from the "Game of Thrones" premiere:

5. A blind Arya (Maisie Williams) gets whacked with a stick by a girl called the Waif (Faye Marsay). Brandwatch saw a lot of comparisons between Arya and similarly blind crime fighter Daredevil.

9:5p.m. ET: More than 2,200 mentions in one minute.



4. Doran's (Alexander Siddig) son, Trystane (Toby Sebastian), is killed by the Sand Snakes.

9:36 p.m. ET: Nearly 2,900 mentions in one minute, slightly less than the third-placed moment.



3. Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) saves Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Reek/Theon (Alfie Allen).

9:25 p.m. ET: Nearly 2,900 mentions in one minute
