Sweet schadenfreude.

That's amazing to me. The fans were showing so much relief when the Bells rang, and cheered as Cersei showed defeat on her face. There were fans in that crowd that basically took a deep breath and looked at their significant other with a smile.
Then the switch turned and people couldn't take their eyes off of the screen (By the way I loved Emilia Clarke's facial features as the bell rang as she went from uncertainty to a terrible resolve).
The biggest surprise was the reaction to Grey Worms actions. I've loved his character so far as he's become a free man and fell in love, he always seemed to be really brave so far and honorable and all too human. In that moment he became almost as evil as his Queen.
I want to add on something that I saw in the Hells bells clip. They did a great job of making the Kings Landing soldiers almost heroic as they were trying to get civilians moving and to safety, and Jon and his army became the butchers and the villains.
I guess because seasons 1 through 6 are still in my mind, when it comes to Daeny's going evil, it just wouldn't have surprised me even if i wasn't spoiled on it. At some point I would have certainly expected that her hunger for conquest, power, and her world view would have lead to her being a really oppressive ruler.
