Poor kid. Even two years later Arya still longed for her dad 😢
This was heartbreaking
The way Tyrion just casually designed that saddle for Bran in season 1 and nobody ever mentioned it again. Like this dude just solved a major accessibility problem in 5 minutes then went back to drinking wine
Tyrion brought it up when he met Bran again in season 8 and commented on his chair. Something along the lines of “this is clever. Even more than the saddle I designed for you”
Yeah that got me good. Bran is like “yeah maester so and so made this for me to get around easier”. Dude just casually invents the wheelchair and basically nobody bats an eye.
Didn't Doran Martell already have a wheelchair in earlier seasons?
He saw that chair in the past, in a vision. I can't remember who designed it though unfortunately.
Daeron Targaryen had it designed for his crippled nephew, I believe.
Yes that's right, thanks
No problem!
I loved Tyrion's line in that scene:
Bran- I'm not a cripple.
Tyrion- Then I'm not a dwarf, my father will rejoice to hear it!
He's got a soft spot for broken things
That moment always stood out to me too, Tywin quietly solving a life changing problem with pure pragmatism, then the story just shrugs and moves on.
It was a modification of the saddle Tyrion used to ride.
He did not quite design it. IIRC, it was based on a saddle for a disabled Targaryen, which he would have read about in one of his great many books.
Bran’s little smile is so sweet too
The scene when the former slave tells Danny he wants to be sold back into it. It’s a small moment but highlights how difficult fixing the situation in Meereen is
I was thinking about that exact scene a few days ago. I suppose from the slave’s pov he was treated well when he was a and now he’s being bullied by the younger ones
I can't remember the character in question, so can't recall if he actually was treated well, but many slaves in real history didn't want to be freed, even if treated poorly. That life was all they knew. Freedom meant being thrust into the wider world, having to fend for themselves, without any education on how. That was terrifying for a lot of people, even whose living conditions were appalling.
Yeah, that was something
When Cersei thinks she's found Tyrion's whore and it's just Ros, but Tyrion plays it off perfectly to throw her off for a bit longer. That moment showed me Tyrion was born to play this game
I like to think Varys is the reason Cerseis info was wrong
Wasn't ros varys spy into littlefingers court. Would he let her be killed like what happened
Ros wasn't killed because Cersei thought she was Tyrion's lover. Littlefinger discovered she was spying for Varys, and gifted her to Joffrey to torture and murder.
Good point
At the very beginning, I hated Tyrion - he looks like such a sleazeball and while he does still love his booze and women, he is quite possibly one of the best men in all of the 7 kingdoms. Idk how anyone can dislike him, in spite of his vices. He can be an ass but it's always so warranted when he is
I’m rewatching GOT now and agree with your thoughts on Tyrion. I’m on S 4 and how he treats Sansa is very nice. He empathizes with people facing hardships because of how he’s been treated. He also has one of the best lines. “That’s what I do, I drink and I know things.”
People telling the truth at weirwood trees. It’s a belief in the book although I don’t think ever mentioned in the show.
Both Littlefinger and Ramsay reveal their nefarious plans around them.
In the book I think Cersei does this. It’s just a superstition, but the inclusion of it is neat.
The sound of Tywin's footsteps as he approaches Joffrey in this scene. Measured, steady, unhurried. Just emphasises Tywin as the one in control - he's not the least bit bothered the King is having to wait for him.
That whole scene is an excellent demonstration of non-verbal storytelling, the way the sounds, movement of characters and camera angles depict the balance of power between the two of them.
“We can arrange to have you carried” 😭😭
I love when Joffrey says of the dragons.. “Don't you think we ought to do something about it?". Smartest thing he’s ever said really
I love the way Tywin pauses and walks up the remaining stairs before saying this. So perfect.
"You are being counseled at this very moment"
This scene is an absolute masterpiece, I can't count how many times I've searched it up to re-watch it. Charles Dance has such an imposing, threatening presence and just dominates this scene. Brilliant!
I watch this scene on YT regularly. It is magnificent.
What I like about that scene is that it further shows what helped contribute to Tyrion’s downfall.
(Obviously Joffrey feared Tywin and did not fear Tyrion, but that aside) Tywin showed deference and performed ceremony before Joffrey. Staying at the foot on the throne, using appropriate titles, bowing. Tyrion did none of that and was consistently insulting and condescending to Joffrey from the get go.
Charles Dance is the ultimate master of this technique! He had NEVER skinned a deer before that 1 scene and he looked like he had done it hundreds of times. What a phenominal talent!
Brilliant. Of course the sound designer and editor did their part in this too. Pacing and all that.
Brienne's cringe of disgust every time Tormund leered at her.
Awww...yes. I get that she was not into him. She was a high-born and he was a Wilding, but i think that man would have worshipped her like a queen. Not sure how anyone else saw it, but his dream to marry her and breed a brood of giants with her was so endearing to me.
He was probably heartbroken when she didn't reciprocate his affections, but he didn't get all butt-hurt and try to retaliate in any way either. He was a gentleman about it.
Tormund was hot, imo, and he seemed to be a good man. Hell, he lived to fight in the long night, so to me, he was a bad-ass! I was hoping Brienne would give up on Jaimie and live happily ever after with Thormund - along with their little giants. Lol
I loved the scene where the hound and tor chat about brienne when they are north of the wall.
The fact that Tormund was still a gentleman to her even after being rejected is my favorite part about him, he just respected her.
The way he would gaze at her 😂
He was heartbroken! He said he was after Jamie went after Brianne during the feast after the Long Night!
season one when Tyrion Lannister is chatting with Jon Snow -- my favorite line of the whole series is Tyrion's -- "Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you". I think there is a similar line both in the book and the show and it hit hard, because I believe we all care way too much about what everyone else thinks of us. Once you own up to who you are and stop giving a fuck about 90% of the world's opinions, it's utterly freeing.
Yes, this line has honestly become a sort of mantra for me that I remind myself of when I'm feeling like a weirdo or that I don't fit in. It helps me ground myself in being who I am and that it's okay. Honestly good life advice! I am a bit weird, and that's okay. 100% of my friends are a bit weird as well, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
When Olenna plays with Margaery's necklace as she did with Sansa's, while saying "You didn't think I'd let you marry that beast, did you?"
And then Margaery's realization what she's talking about and "You just do what needs to be done."
“Tell Cersie it was me”
When the Hound and Arya arrive at the Arryn castle and are informed her relative is dead.
She starts laughing and the hound looks lost.
"How can a man be brave if he's afraid?"
“That is the only time a man can be brave.”
I'll forever die on the hill that the scene between Jon and Maester Aemon in S1E9 is the best scene in the entire show. I think about it all the time.
Maester Aemon is the candle that burns brightly in every scene he is in. Maybe because I miss my grandpa, but what a testament to how brilliantly that character is written and acted that that’s where it takes me.
It was pretty special
The dialogue and message is obviously beautiful, but damn the acting put that scene over the top. So much weight of emotion, sorrow, wisdom.
Could you remind me again about this scene? What was it about
It is after Jon learns Ned has been imprisoned in King's Landing and Robb is marching south to war. Aemon shares his own story of when he had to choose between his Night's Watch duty and helping his family (thus revealing his Targaryen heritage).
"I will not tell you... to stay or go. You must make that choice yourself, and live with it for the rest of your days. As I have."
Oh yes! Thank you
The outrage and the anger he had in his voice when he said "And the Children!" was so perfectly played it's one of the best performances in the whole show. The power in it made a 90 year old man sound like he could draw a sword and fight all for his revenge at this very moment.
Robert and Cersei talking about their marriage.
Tywin/Arya scenes. Charles Dance is just so goddamned brilliant.
The Hound explaining armor to Arya.
I love the scenes with Tywin and Arya. She so damn smart
"You're better than no one" Uncle Benjen
Cersei Lannister dialogue to Ned Stark in which game of thrones title mention, " when you play the game of throne, you either win or die, there is no middle".
When Arya and Nymeria meet face to face. Arya realizes they are alike and have their own path.
One of my favorite scenes is when Breanne finishes the entry in the king's guard book for Jamie and writes down his accomplishments he so desperately wanted to have. It was referenced in the show in the earlier seasons many times how Jamie's entry was a small blurb that nobody would remember and his legacy would simply be that of a king slayer traitor.
When Breanne wrote down his true legacy in the book, closed it, that was a perfect ending to that story's arch.
Omg my heart 😭
The one and only time someone calls The Hound Sandor to his face- Arya, when he is off to kill his brother and he convinces her not to follow him in order to kill Cersei. He grabs her, looks at her and says something like, "look at me! You want to spend your whole life hating someone?". He walks off, she says, "Sandor" and he turns around with a look on his face that recognises that she thinks he doesn't deserve to be called Dog, "thank you". He knew in that moment that she admired him and was thankful for all he did for her.
In season 1 when Tyrion says “Sansa stark, you may survive us yet” or something like that
it is season 2; just before Joffrey leaves the Throne Room to join his troops at Blackwater.
almost to the Red Wedding on the gf’s first and my second watch ;)
Going through the same now mate, we've just finished season 1. It was hell to convince her to watch, but she's enjoying. Cheers to our ladies!
I introduced GOT to my GF as well! (I had already watched it 3 times) it was a long ride lol. But so amazing to see her reactions.
I justasked her OPS question and she said: that moment in the castle when Tyrion asks Missandei & Torgo Nudo if they have any “jokes” and they just stare at him blankly like 🫥
When Catlynn touches Lord Bolton's wrist at the Red Wedding and realizes he's wearing armor. It was like she realized immediately what was about to happen.
I understand it was the start of a huge moment/plot twist, but the look on her face was just heartbreaking. No words, just a look of "Wtf?"
Bolton's look of "well, what are you gonna do 😏" it's the cherry on top
Hot Pie when he talks to Brianne about making a Kidney pie
You CANNOT give up on the gravy!
The way Sansa reacts and hugs Theron when he arrives at Winterfell with troops to fight at the Battle of Winterfell
When Sansa gets to Jon after being through all she has over the years, and when when Arya and Jon finally meet again after years of separation and they both play it off a little at the beginning and then Arya just can’t help herself any more and dives into Jon’s arms.
Sansa arriving at Castle Black before Jon left was the biggest sigh of relief I had on the show... like ever.
When the Hound went back to the farmer’s hut (the one he had stolen silver and food from) and he found out they had committed suicide. Seeing how much remorse Sandor felt was a big part of his character arc. That scene made me really sad, but I still can’t hate Sandor because his character has so much depth.
"In the Summer isles, they worship a fertility goddess with 16 teats."
"We should sail there immediately!"
Arya and Tywin’s interactions in season 2 were my favorite show invention. He realized she was high born and was developing a legit respect for her - I would’ve liked to have seen that relationship develop.
I love when Pod sings before the battle at Winterfell
The way the music comes in underneath his singing and the cuts of everyone preparing is one of my favourite sections of the whole series.
My favorite part! Everyone getting ready to possibly die 💔
No need to seize the last word Lord Baelish, I’ll assume it was something clever. I know you all (or most of you anyway) hate Sansa but this line was freaking hilarious, especially the way Sophie Turner delivered it, and solidified for me who Sansa had become.
The scene where she is about to watch Ramsey get mauled to death.. he says his hounds are loyal. She says, “they were loyal, now they’re starving”. Amazing line and delivery
I love Sansa. She’s in my top 5 of the series, by the end. The Queen in the North!
Me too! She has quite a few zingers besides the one above!
From the show (the scene in the book is quite different) but when Arya names Jaquen to manipulate him into helping her and her friends-
“A girl lacks honor.”
Shrug.
It was then I understood that she doesn’t have the same idealistic flaw that Eddard had.
Also, can I just give a hot take- there are a lot of scenes in the show that were actually better than the book. Astapor was one of my favorite moments in all of television.
I know it gets repeated ad nauseam around here, but holy shit, seasons 1 through 4 were fucking FIRE. They were cooking. If I remember correctly, the heart-to-heart between Cersei and Robert talking about their marriage was a show-only addition, and to this day it stands out to me as one of the best dialogue scenes in the entire show. Those were the glory days that brought to life some of the best television the world has ever seen.
As well as the Tywin scenes with Arya.
Her shrug sends me into orbit, one of my favorite moment.
“A man can go kill himself.” Excuse me while I fetch my eyebrows from the back of my head.
... die for some chickens?
Someone is.
This is such a fucking banger scene, I re-watch it on YouTube regularly. "I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, I’m gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."
Thats my favourite scene. Soo tense and knowing the hound it was always going to kick off
So blasé, so practical in the midst of a story where everyone keeps trying out being smarter than the other guy. He just killed them. No fuss.
Arya's sword lessons, especially that first scene...I have watched that multiple times.
"Good, the target is small"
Syrio was a real one, he charmed us to the bone with so little screen time. I always wished we could have seen far more of him.
100%, such a presence, would have loved to see more of him
Just so.
Do you remember the scene when Jamie leaves Cercei after their fight about supporting Daenerys?. He rides off and it starts to snow and a single snowflake lands on his gauntlet as he’s riding away. The music is just beautiful and he looks up at the sky and I don’t know it just grabbed me and made me so I don’t know what the word is. Not happy but I just think it’s a beautiful scene.
When Lady Catelyn tells Talisa the story about praying to the Gods to save Jon Snow from the pox. It's such an intimate moment, showing the depths of Catelyn's character.
Robert screaming at Ned “GOoooooo RUN back to WIIIIIInterfell, I’ll have your HEADDDD on a SPIKE”
Watching Ice being melted down was pretty traumatic
Yesss and the music changing from the Stark to the Lannister theme - so brilliantly COLD
Tyrion’s face while overflowing Podrick’s cup with wine after Brienne said “a half cup”.
Tywin’s “…Smart.” comment to the then-unknown Arya when he asks her why she’s dressed as a boy.
He’s so used to being around fools that someone so young could be so clever threw him for a loop
When Tyrion said he'd like to die "with a belly full of wine and a woman's mouth around his Cock" 😄
I love that last part of a Knight of the seven kingdoms in season 8. The knighthood is beautiful then the scrolling through some of our favourite characters trying to be human for one more night, while jenny of oldstones plays in the background
when cersei tells robert she should wear the armor and him the gown. i died 😂
The Tywin/ Arya scene with the history lesson about Harrenhall
Jon building Ygritte’s funeral pyre.
That scene, with the music gets me every time
I'm still traumatized by how Hodor got his name.
When Theon chose family over honor and ultimately lost both
Looking at Casterly Rock for the first time and feeling underwhelmed.. this is the castle that houses the LANNISTERS ffs.
“You’re nothing without your daddy your daddy ain’t here , never forget that…. Here this should help you remember.
The conversation between Catelyn and Talysa about Jon Snow really hit me for some reason
"Did you made this before" "Twice ... "
That part
a quote from Cersei to Euron “if you want a whore – buy one, if you want a queen – earn her”. idk i’ve despised her throughout the whole series but she was so goated for this one phrase, she earned a little bit of my respect that moment. but nvm she then went & slept with him anyways 😂
When Greyworm says he wants to keep that name since it was his name the day he met Danaerys.
Any conversation between Arya and Tywin. I eat up their scenes together because the dialogue is so good and the characters are so smart.
Honestly sometimes I wish they reunited so we could get more of them together.
Kill the boy And let the man be born. Took this quote to heart to get my shit together.
Tyrion: Meereen was prospering. Daenerys: *Raised eyebrow as the city burns behind her. *
The scene with baelish and varys in season 1 is peak, one upping each other the whole time with what they know about each other
Cerci amd Robert's quick but "honest" conversation about their marriage. That scene made them seem more human.
oh and when Eddison Tollet & Tormund accidentally run into each other in one of the castles of the Night’s Watch, Eddison shouts smth like “BEWARE BROTHERS HE HAS BLUE EYES!!!” & Tormund answers smth like “i was born like this you dumbass!” 😂 i loved Tormund, he was such a great comedy character
“STAY BACK, HE’S GOT BLUE EYES!”
“I’ve ALLLLWAYS had blue eyes!!!”
It’s the delivery. Magic 😆
MaesterAemin talking to Jon
“A life of wealth and privilege has left you blind in one eye - you are the few, we are the many, and when the many stop fearing the few...” The high sparrow.
‘Perhaps. But that wasn’t Ned Starks way’
Stannis knew something
My watch has ended
When Tywin rides his horse into the throne room with the king and all the dignitaries after the battle of Black Bay and his horse takes a huge shit!
When Tywin tells Pycelle to take Joffrey to bed. Instantly established who is truly the ruler in Kings Landing
"you're no God ...I've seen your pecker"
Littlefinger chatting with his whores about Catelyn stark and her impeccable bloodline while watching them practice fucking, and casually instructing Roz to "play with her arse" without skipping a beat. Like it so much I'm tattooing it on my boyfriend
For me, it's the dialogue between Jamie Lannister and Ned Stark in the throne room. I think it's either in the 2nd or 3rd episode. Brilliant dialogue, brilliant acting.
During season one, when Robb calls his banners. Like, that’s obviously a big deal, but the approval shown by Maester Luwin and Theon when he does it is a small detail that has really stuck with me
Not a singular moment but a series of small moments throughout the first few episodes.
The way people discuss their shared history. They don't just clunkily spout exposition at each other for the audience's sake. They talk more like real people discussing the "old days". We are given hints at a past war that left the Barathians on the throne, but the specifics are shared slowly, split up among different conversations and scenes across several seasons.
“M’lord,not My Lord. Low born girls say M’lord” Tywin and Arya when she was his cup bearer
“What the fucks a Lommy?” always comes to mind for me. One of the funniest lines/scenes between Arya and The Hound in my opinion.
I really appreciate the fact that Hot Pie survived a whole world war and the zombie apocalypse and ended up well off doing what he loved in the end. One tiny detail that showed not everything was death and gore and some people actually had normal lives after it all.
"Please don't make me do it again." Cersei, one of the most feared women in the show, suddenly transported to being a little girl again being sold into a loveless marriage by her father. My heart breaks for her every time. Excellent line delivery by Lena, and I never see anyone mention it.
Theon and Jon reunion.
"Take charge of your life,for as long as it lasts. That is what it means to be Lord of The Vale."
Alliser Thorne's "You don't know cold" speech. Just... just perfect.
https://youtu.be/0p8ZSQ-nZ6E?si=rLm778Qx3InXMu1K
When ned killed lady, at that very moment bran opened his eyes. Never really noticed that until a rewatch
Is anyone going to mention the gentle, tender, lovemaking scene between Missandei and Grey Worm? Did it advance the plot? No. Was it real and heart-warming to see these two characters free and together? Absolutely.
When Ygritte thinks a windmill is a castle and when Jon tells her it’s a windmill, she says it all slow, trying to pronounce it correctly- “wind-mill.” I think about that daily.
This thread is so long nobody will see this, but my favorite little scene is ...
When Jon is explaining to Ygritte that Winterfell has tall towers surrounding the castle and she could wear silk dresses and all that and I'm seeing that they come from such different worlds that she will be killed sometime because she can't last to see what Jon Snow is talking about. All her talks about "You know no-thin Jon Snow", is equally said, "You know no-thin Ygritte."
Why haven’t the Gods punished me yet? They have
"You let that little girl disarm you"
"Mother! I wish we had some wine for you, it's a bit early in the day for us"
"You love your children. It's one of your most redeeming qualities. That and your cheekbones"
When Jon beheaded that old knight. I had goosebumps.
“Eyes you’ll close forever.”
“If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.”
Wun Wun dying 🥺 he was the last of the giants
Another one: the little girl at Winterfell who says both her brothers were soldiers, so she wants to fight. Ser Davos is struck by her, Gilly says she’ll feel better with her in the crypt, and they play Shireen’s theme in the music 😭😭😭😭
Measter Ameon telling Jon about the times he wanted to flee the wall and when he talks about Tywin ordering the deaths of Rhagers children. The actor that plays Ameon delivered the line "and the children!" Perfectly, so much anger in that delivery
The delivery of “Shagga likes axes”
Sandor nodding at the old guy when he puts him out of his misery. It’s brutal but showed Sandors heart for some weird strange reason.
Ramsay Snow/Bolton was a mad cunt, but had his moments, precisely because he was a mad cunt:
- Ramsay eating a sausage, making Reek believe it was his cock.
- Ramsay's open disbelief Roose would want to bed Fat Walda
- Ramsay charging against a room full of Ironborn, shirtless, splashed with blood and dual-wielding butchering knives. What an absolute mad lad.
Other villains produced cool moments too:
- Joffrey being the only reasonable person to suggest the Crown should have its own professional standing army. If they listened to him, Lannisters would have won the war and kept the Throne.
- The High Sparrow pwning Cersei in every conversation they had
- Cersei blowing up the Sept was definitely a huge moment, but the specific tiny moment of the Sept bell falling from the sky with a clang sealed it for me.
- Littlefinger working obvious sleazy Pick-up Artistry, and sex moves to control Lisa Arryn, despite his clearly visible disgust with her.
- Locke being actual wholesome bros with Ramsay
- The captured Wight, once released, went straight for Cersei, ignoring everybody else. Even rotten zombies hate her enough just to decide "sure, I hate all mankind, but I hate THAT bitch in particular".
When Jaime takes over Riverrun, and he sees Brienne and Pod safely making their escape from a distance– and he gives a little wave, looking around cautiously to see if anyone is watching.
It was a sweet moment, shows how he felt a sense of relief when he saw that boat sailing away during the hour of the dark in the midst of chaos.
When Ser Davos confronts Melisandre about Shireen in front of Jon - nothing but sheer emotion and conviction
Tyrion talking to Yellin and deciding to share the road back to Kings Landing.
Jaime realizing he has to go back for Brienne
“There’s a bug” -Tyrion
Every time the hound starts cussing
In the battle of Winterfell, when Tyrion stands up in the crypt and it cuts to Jon coming around. I’m almost there in my rewatch and the tightness of the edit gives me chills every time.
Aemon's death scene
I loved the scene in season 7 when Davos And Jon snow are talking about danny....when jon snow tells to davos that the dragon queen has a big heart...Davos replies frankly that yes my lord..i saw you were seeing her BIG HEART very deeply...at that moment i laughed very much
When Sansa and Jon reunite, just omg my heart swells! Also the scene where Catelyn is talking to Talisa about Jon Snow. When she says "All the horror that's come to my family, it's all because I couldn't love a motherless child". That entire scene, her acting just very top tier!!!
Drogon and Rhaegal’s reaction to Viserion dying.
Eye contact with Bran & Meera
Pod singing "Jenny of Oldstones/Jenny's Song" before the Dark Night.
Almost any scene involving Jason momoa, Sean bean or mark addy. They just ate up every scene they were in. The latter two with brilliant dialogue and emotional acting, the former with stoic minimalism. Watch the last few season then watch h any scene from season 1 with these guys.
Kill the boy John Snow. Kill the boy, and let the man be born. -Aemon Targaryen.
Favorite part is when the hound & Brienne are walking to the old fighting pits (show cerci one of the army of the dead ) and they are walking side by side and she says to him “ she’s alive you know” “ who” “aria” “ “she’s at winterfell” “ if she’s there & your here there’s no one there to protector her” “ only one who needs protecting is anyone who gets in her way!” Hound smiles & says “ won’t be me!” 💖almost a proud parent moment
Arya: "the thin man didn't want to eat today"
Jaqen H'ghar: "Perhaps that's why a man is thin"
Low key how casually it gets revealed that little finger coordinated the entire inciting situation. Like no one talks about it for ages then the lady of the Erie just fuggin babbles that shit out and I was like “wHaT did she sAyyyy????”
"Fewer"
"What?"
"Nothing"
When Tyrion entered the pyramid to unchain the dragons, and he’s talking to them softly, and tells them how he cried himself to sleep after his father told him the last dragon died years ago.
There was just something about this scene that really resonated with me. I’m an animal person and I can see myself crying myself to sleep after learning that dragons no longer existed as a child.
The way Robb says “mother” at the red wedding. Idk why it just stuck.
Oh this is a tough call... I've got a few. Favorite quotes:
Margery Tyrell, to Littlefinger, "I don't want to be A queen, I want to be THE queen."
Littlefinger to Varys, "Chaos is a ladder."
Varys to Littlefinger, "Ahh, the Lysa Arryn of chairs."
Danerys to the idiot seller of the Unsullied, "Valerian is my mother's tongue."
Danerys to Drogon, "Drakaras." (or however it's spelled)
Littlefinger to Lysa Arryn, "Your sister."
Favorite visuals:
Ellaria Sand screaming after Prince Oberyn's death.
John Snow unsheathing his sword on the Battlefield of the Bastards.
When Dany's dragon was speared by the Night King.
The rising army of the dead at Hardhome.
Danerys setting fire to the Khal Dome (and her business associate from above).
Sansa looking smug with Littlefinger atop horses at the Battle of the Bastards.
Favorite looks between characters:
Sansa, at Littlefinger, in the crypts below Winterfell.
Sansa, at Littlefinger, in the bar they stopped at for the night and drank ale (right before Brienne shows up).
Littlefinger, at Sansa, in multiple places - on the moors above the Dreadfort, during his inquiry at the Vale (the best swallow ever), in the multiple manifestations of "What do you want?" between them like her walking down the stairs in the Eyrie, or sewing the dress she wears down the stairs, or under the weirwood tree talking about his visions, or before he kisses her in front of Lysa. Yeah, they absolutely destroyed the best characters of the series by abandoning the amazing chemistry those two had. Shame really.
Then, as a bonus, my favorite parts of the hysterical parody by Practical Folks, "Power Hour with Cersei and Littlefinger, 'When Little Doves Fly' with Sansa Stark."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFoFDnj6Lpw&list=PLsG8nM5dry2BadWmeDDuP-spy7OK9fds8&index=19
1) "Is she?" - Cersei
2) "I'll eat you out in the gar-" - Littlefinger
3) "I call it chaos." - Littlefinger
Funny, funny, funny! Highly recommend.
But my least favorite moment of the whole show (excepting Littlefinger's hasty demise) was when Sansa told Ramsey "You said it yourself, your hounds haven't been fed in seven days." She didn't know that. She didn't hear him say it. And that script won an Emmy for Best Screenplay of the year. Obscene, IMHO. But oh well. I'm glad Ramsey died that way.
Anyway, so many great scenes and great moments. Especially between Sansa and Littlefinger. Oh how I wish the story would've been different!
Missandei lists all the names and titles used to describe Daenerys
Davos: "He's Jon Snow"
Tyrion says to his beloved sister: "If I could deceive my father, I would already be emperor of the world."
Robert and Cersei discussing their marriage. An honest moment.
The scene in which Tyrion is telling Varys he wants real revenge for the attempt on his life even though he no longer has the influence. He's talking to Varys as if he has no clue about wanting "real" revenge" on "real" people. Varys finally tells him the story of when he was cut as a boy while slowly opening a crate.
Finally, he opens the box and Tyrion sees the wizard who mutilated Varys all those years ago when he was a boy. What a brilliant yet disturbing scene.
On another note, the wizard's mouth was sewn shut and when Varys opens the box he says something like "Hello my old friend. It's been a long time". How on earth was this guy eating and kept alive with his mouth sewn shut like this? The way I interpreted the scene was that he had found this wizard and taken his revenge years ago. It couldn't be that he had just finally gotten a hold of him, could it?
When Jaime knights Brienne🥰
I don't know why, but one of the scenes I love the most (it's not the greatest scene), is when Ser Jora Mormont kidnaps Tyron and they are sailing through Valyria and see Drogon flying; Tyron's expression is magnificent.
