This might come off as sadistic, but I feel like Walder Frey got too easy a death.

I highlight his death in particular for 2 reasons. 1, because he committed one of the bigger atrocities in the show. And 2, because I've seen nothing but praise for it.


Now I will concede, the praise is fair in the sense that him being fed his children thing was well done, and deserved. Which is enough to satisfy most. But here's my issue with it. There was a total of about 30 seconds between him realising what was in the pie, and his throat being slit. The man who had a bunch of the Stark bloodline wiped out barely had time to process that he was fucked before it was all over for him. He deserved worse. Ideally, he should have had the pie reveal and then being thrown in a dungeon, left to starve and dwell for 3-4 days then been offered more of the pie.


On a side note I also somewhat disagree that Cersei got too easy a death, which is another popular sentiment. Why? Because she had a good amount of time spent in absolute, all-encompassing terror as she waited for her life to come to an end. Infact shout out to Lena for her performance in this scene, the 'I don't want to die, please don't let me die', I feel like some people may become so desensitised to death scenes that they forget the sheer terror one would feel knowing their existence is about to be ended permanently and that there's not a thing they can do to stop it. So sure, it can definitely easily be argued that she deserved worse too after her crimes, but she at least had several minutes of anguish before it happened.

Hope this isn’t a stupid question but who ran kings landing while Robert was in winterfell in season 1?

Robert, his wife and family, all came to winterfell in season 1, which there and back would be at least 2 months. Considering they were going to ask Ned to be hand, there also wouldn’t have been a hand to the king in Kings landing. So who would have been in charge?

Is it possible that House Reyne was originally a cadet branch of House Casterly?

Out of all the characters in Game of Thrones (show only), which one would you trust the most and why?

I was talking with my aunt about the show and it got me thinking about how differently people view “trust” in Westeros. It’s such a morally grey world that even the “good” characters sometimes make questionable decisions, and the “bad” ones can surprise you. So I’m genuinely curious how everyone else judges this. Would you go with someone honorable like Ned or Brienne because they stick to their word, even if it gets them killed? Someone loyal and dependable like Sam or Davos? Maybe you’d choose someone more cunning like Tyrion or Varys, because in a world like Westeros, honesty isn’t always the safest thing, maybe you trust the people who know how the game is played. And then there are the wildcard answers characters who aren’t saints but might be the safest bet depending on the situation. For example, is someone like Olenna, Jorah, or even Sandor Clegane more trustworthy because at least you know where you stand with them? I’m really interested to see the different ways people define “trust” here. Is it loyalty? Morality? Intelligence? The ability to keep you alive? Or just someone you think wouldn’t stab you (literally or politically) when your back is turned?

Who’s your pick and what’s your reasoning?

What's everyone's favorite monologue and dialogue exchange?

I'm on my 3th try with this show, first time I'm actually into it. I'm currently on s4 and some of the dialogues and monologues are so amazing they gave me chills with every word.
I'd say the one I loved the most so far is Jaime's bath monologue is probably the one that got into me the most, so far.
Can't wait to hear what everyone's favorites are!
(I don't mind spoilers, just please be sure to tag them for everyone else's sake)

Stannis badass grammar moments in the books and the show

Obviously, “Fewer”.

Then, the letter he sent out where instead of trusting the maester to draft it he insists on dictating it and makes corrections in a prickly manner.

What else are moments from our one true king that show us how much of a grammar aficionado he is?

Everyone’s always sooo close to each other

First time watcher of GOT and on season 5, but something I’ve noticed that cracks me up (and kind of drives me bonkers) is so many characters searching for another and ending up RIGHT next to them, without noticing 😆😭

Examples:
-Bran goin North and Jon being right outside the windmill that Bran is in (bran did end up seeing him but still)
-Then again Bran and Jon being close at Crasters
-Arya and the hound being outside the Eyrie gates, but not going in bc her aunts dead even tho Sansa is inside
-Sansa passing by Brienne and Pod while they are looking for Sansa

I swear there have been more too, but I can’t think of them. It just cracks me up because I’m thinking “THEY ARE RIGHT THERE!!” I know it’s to help further the plot and they usually don’t know, but so funny that it’s so often!
