Fans laugh, cry as saga's final season premieres

Three-hundred die-hard Game of Thrones fans laughed, howled and moaned their way through the premiere of the hugely popular fantasy saga's last season in New York on Sunday.

More than an hour before the episode began, a crowd gathered at Brooklyn's Understudy bar and broke into raucous shouts as the first notes of the famous theme music rang out.

Almost 20 months after season seven of the show ended, aficionados got their fix and their fill of a Jon Snow cocktail, specially concocted for the occasion in honor of one of the main characters.
