![]() Game of Thrones . Competition! Cursing in Spanish! What's not to love? Or does he have a role to play in the great war ahead? Game of Thrones / Awesome. Here are some moments that show just why. A few moments later, he pulls back his bowstring, and an arrow slams straight into the bulls- eye.. Which is definitely echoed in their reactions as Robb looks plain gobsmacked and Jon is grinning with obvious pride. HBO is gearing up for season seven of Game of Thrones with its binge-watching campaign, #PrepareForWinter. HBO Nordic, one of the network’s European services, has. A Game of Thrones Community for Breaking News, Casting, and Commentary. Ned is a rather warm parent. Where's the stern Northern lord with enough gravitas to freeze the Wall over again? And winter is coming. The competition has become a bit stale. At her own wedding, no less. The girl has Nerves of Steel. It is also a Crowning Moment of Funny as Joffrey is twice Tyrion's height. This has been made into a gif. Huh, I can't stand the wailing of women. But first you will get to Lord and Lady Stark, and you will fall on your knees in front of them and tell them how very sorry you are, that you are at their service and that all your prayers are with them. Game of Thrones and Lego seem to be a perfect match— well, except for the whole murder and mayhem thing, which isn’t exactly part of Lego’s M.O. The penultimate season of HBO’s Game of Thrones is just around the corner. With the summer premiere date confirmed recently, all that’s left is for fans to. The Red Wedding is a massacre during the War of the Five Kings arranged by Lord Walder Frey as. Do — you — understand? Joffrey: You can't—. Tyrion: *SLAP* Do you understand? Tyrion not only shows zero fear, but doesn't even stop snarking. If he forgets, be a good dog and remind him, won't you? Until it became evident that, if she had held onto it, the blood from Mycah's cheek still on the blade might have helped prove her side of the story. How does she respond? Repeatedly declares that Joffrey was the one who hurt Mycah and refuses to back down. Given how feared Cersei and Joffrey are, and that both Ned and Sansa fail to stand up to the royal family, it really shows you how gutsy this little eleven year old girl is. And you can tell how much he's both bracing and hating himself for his actions, but still does it out of a sense of duty and mercy to the poor wolf. Also counts as Tear Jerker material. She deserves better than a butcher. She's not the weak, hopeless girl we saw in episode one anymore. For how long? Hello, instant Ensemble Darkhorse. And there is only one thing we say to Death: not today. An amazing capper to the career of Margaret John. Conveyed with good narration, and Nightmare Fuel. As Tyrion jokes with Yoren in the common hall of Castle Black, Benjen Stark walks in and takes offence at the rather jovial tone in Tyrion's assessment of the Night's Watch and his assertions that there's only men beyond the Wall. Not only does Yoren shut up immediately, but in the end he manages to shut up Tyrion Lannister, who's always ready for a witty retort.. A little rougher, maybe. But they're made of meat and bone. I know how to track 'em and I know how to kill 'em. It's not the wildlings giving me sleepless nights.. You've never been north of the Wall, so don't tell me what's out there. And throughout this ! I am the wife of the great Khal and I carry his son inside me. The next time you raise a hand to me, will be the last time you have hands. When Ned realizes this, he responds to the perceived insult to not only his honor but his wife's by choke- slamming Littlefinger against a wall. Considering everything that Littlefinger does throughout the series it's immensely satisfying in hindsight to see him suffer a little. It's a rare feat to get the drop on Tyrion, especially with one Badass Boast. This gets better in the next episode: despite making the arrest right on the spot with no plan, she had the presence of mind to announce that she was taking Tyrion to Winterfell, when she actually planned to take him to the Eyrie, leaving anyone trying to rescue him to look in the wrong place. That night, Jon and the others pay him a visit along with Jon's direwolf, Ghost, and the next day he's fully committed to leaving Sam alone. Not only does the scarred man fight his older (and much larger and stronger) brother to a standstill, he even immediately acknowledges the King's command to stop, kneeling down so that his brother's blade slashes through the air over his head! Arya gets confused for a beggar and insulted by two palace guards. This is her response. Arya Stark: My father is Hand of the king. I'm not a boy, I'm Arya Stark of Winterfell. And if you lay a hand on me, my father will have both your heads on spikes. Now, are you going to let me by, or do you need a smack on the ear to improve your hearing? They rule the Iron Islands. Their symbol is the Kraken. Their castle is called Pyke. The Kraken is a motif throughout their kingdom, carved onto fireplaces etc. They worship The Drowned God. Their rituals use salt water. Their words . Tyrion (who for reference is about four feet, five inches tall) takes down a hatchet- wielding, frothing brigand with nothing but a kite shield in combat, saving his captor, Catelyn's life in the process. Even better in that it was the first time he killed someone with his own hands. Dinklage perfectly conveys his mix of pride, happiness and fear with one perfect expression. Without doubts, without second thoughts. But I will not follow you now. The Robert I grew up with, didn't tremble at the shadow of an unborn child. And Ned was on the way to beating him. And at the end of the fight, right before the Lannister guard interferes and stabs Ned in the thigh, the two have locked blades, and Jaime—one of the best swordsmen on the continent—is struggling to push Ned off him. It goes to show that while Drogo may be a barbarian, you do NOT threaten a Papa Wolf's wife and unborn child with a blade. Especially in a holy place, where blades are forbidden so all the easy ways of dying are out. And Daenerys shows that she has grown, too. Viserys had spent the entire series up until that point abusing her emotionally. But when he looks at her for mercy, he gets an expression that could have been chiseled from solid stone. Renly is one of the very few people on the series who openly disagrees with the king. Ser Barristan Selmy's silent reaction during Renly's rant shows that he completely agrees with the younger brother. The ones when half of Westeros fought the other half and millions died? Or before that, when the Mad King slaughtered women and babies because the voices in his head told him they deserved it? Or way before that, when dragons burnt whole cities to the ground? Om nom nom nom! Theon coming back to snipe a wildling who was holding Bran hostage after going off in a strop because Robb insulted him and his House. Misogynistic maybe, yet oh so gratifying. Do not anger the Papa Wolf. I will give him the iron chair that his mother's father sat upon. I will give him the Seven Kingdoms. I, Drogo, will do this. I will take my khalasar west to where the world ends and ride wooden horses across the black salt water as no Khal has done before. I will kill the men in iron suits! And tear down their stone houses! I will rape their women! Take their children as slaves! And bring their broken gods back to Vaes Dothrak. This, I vow. I, Drogo, son of Bharbo! I swear before the Mother of Mountains, as the stars look down in witness. As the stars look down in witness! She hears them coming, tells Sansa to hide, and then calmly advanced toward them. The real amazing part is that in spite of there being four of them, with bloody swords in hand, when they see this single old, unarmed woman calmly striding toward them, the four soldiers stop and start very slowly backing away. Though she still ends up getting killed, the fact that her silent acceptance and defiance actually gives armed soldiers who were butchering others before her pause is pretty damned awesome. Call the banners. When Luwin asks . Grey Wind takes him down a peg. Is bloody tough! The guy pulls out a BFS and Drogo pulls out twin knives, then he drops them because he wants to kill the guy with his bare hands. I will not give you that honor. The beetles will feed on your eyes. The worms will crawl through your lungs. The rain will fall on your rotting skin until nothing is left of you but bones! Even better when this is revealed in the next episode to be a Batman Gambit on Robb's part. They're outnumbered, surrounded, and only Bronn has a sword. Tyrion first talks the clan out of killing him with a joke. Then saves Bronn's life and turns the hill tribes into his own personal army, just by persuasion and promises. The Lords of the Vale want me dead. I think it's time for some new Lords of the Vale. It should be remembered, the Iron Throne is made of the swords of the king's enemies. In the centre of the royal court, in front of the king himself, Barristan Selmy has declared openly 'I am your enemy'. And nobody moves a muscle. Mere seconds before, Littlefinger made a joke about Barristan being a naked knight as he's taking off his cloak and gloves. Everyone starts laughing, that is until Barristan pulls out his sword. Then even Petyr and Varys shut the hell up. Some context makes this even more amazing: Barristan isn't just saying he could cut through five soldiers. He's talking to five other members of the Kingsguard, who are supposed to be some of the greatest knights in the kingdom. Plus, the Hound and several Lannister guards are standing nearby, but when Barristan draws his blade, everyone in that room shuts up. He might be sixty three years old, but nobody doubts his ability with a blade. It really puts Jon Snow's problems in perspective, especially once we learn that Aemon is a Targaryen as well. Jorah Mormont of Bear Island doesn't take kindly to this. We get a nice realistically short duel between a Dothraki bloodrider and a Westerosi knight. Which ends with Jorah's armor saving his life and allowing him to break the douche's neck with a back- hand sword swipe! Tywin think that he's bringing the whole Northern army down to face him, when in reality Robb sends only two thousand men and takes the rest around to surprise Jaime. He thus manages to capture the freaking Kingslayer himself and completely shatter his 3. Lannisters' standing manpower. By the end of it, they're cheering him. Even as he's being dragged through an angry mob by the gold cloaks, Ned still does everything in his power to keep his children safe. One of his finest, and last acts. It's clear that Joffrey is very disappointed by her reaction. Sansa: (showing no emotion whatsoever) How long do I have to look?
