Your Top 10 aSoIaF Moments (Spoilers)

Recommended Posts

I don't have a top ten, just a favourite:

The attack on Jon by the Brothers of the Night's Watch in A Dance With Dragons. It was totally unexpected!

I have to change my favourite moment! I totally forgot about the line "Take him to the wall, and hang him" (or something to that effect). I love that moment.

Ah yes, forgot about this one. I always thought Maester Luwin was brilliant. I'm glad he knew the princes were safe. A touching moment.

My honourable mentions go to the "fat pink mast" and "Myrish swamp" (touching moments for different reasons). But seriously, the world of ASOIAF wouldn't be the same without these sort of lines.

I agree with many so i will not repeat them, but here are a few of my other favs

1. Arya naming Jaqen as her 3rd person so he would assist her with weasel soup

2. Ser Barristan revealing who he was and killing the titans bastard with a stick

3. Davos thinking to himself how retarded everyone is while attacking KL on the blackwater (terrible attack plans, wearing full plate armor on the boats...)

4. Stannis

5. Jon seeing ygrittes hair while she and the wildlings were attacking castle black. Also John checking to see if he killed her

6. Cersei's lies finally collapsing around her (even though that is still ongoing)

7. Dario and Dany 4 evar!!1 (just kidding)

Your number 4 is plain awesome:)

10. Bronn vs Ser Vardis

9. Tyrion's speech to get the knights to follow him in the sortie during the Battle of Blackwater. I had forgotten how epic this was until I reached it in my re-read. "You won't hear me shout out Joffery's name," he told them. "You won't hear me yell for Casterly Rock either. This is your city Stannis means to sack, and that's your gate he's bringing down. So come with me and kill the son of a bitch!"

8. "Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold."

7. Jaime and Cat in Riverrun's dungeons. "There are no men like me. There's only me."

6. Dany unleashing Drogon.

5. Arya killing the Tickler.

4. Jaime saving Brienne from Hoat's bear.

Brienne: What are you doing?

Jaime: Something stupid.

And of course, "I dreamed of you."

3. The whole scene of Brienne and Jaime in the bath house.

2. "Only Cat." I still don't think my jaw has fully recovered from dropping so hard at the implications of that scene.

1. Oberyn Martell vs The Mountain. The build-up to it was amazing and the actual fight was even better than I could have hoped for.

10. Jaime's Siege- I actually thought this scene was kinda sad. Jaime wants to present himself as a respectable, honorable knight. The Blackfish just craps all over this. He'll never trust Jaime. Why should he?

9. Mutiny at Craster’s Keep- I loved the rising tension. Then the exploding chaos.

8. “Only Cat”- May have been the biggest surprise in the series. Lysa spilling the beans and then LF ballsy murder. Made LF go from crony to evil mastermind.

7. “The North Remembers”- I just have to put this up for how awesome it is. Again a huge surprise. You can just see that shit is going to go down after this scene.

6. Bar Room Brawl- GRRM just did such a great job with this scene. Weaving together the fighting with a great payoff.

5. “Things I Do For Love”- First real taste of ASoIaF

4. Catelyn and Jaime- Great dialogue.

3. Jon Kills Slynt- Just for how badass the moment is. Nice touch with Stannis at the end.

2. The Golden Crown- Great send-off to a hated character.

1. The Kingsmoot-This is just everyone I love about the series in one chapter. Interesting characters vying for power. This chapter laid out Asha, Victorion, Aeron, and Euron perfectly. It has some of the best writing in the series (as seen below).

Honorable mentions:

Varys!- I spent the whole epilogue wondering what the point was... until Vary cementing Aegon as a big deal (but still not real deal).

Mountain vs. The Viper- Enough has been said about this.

Theon's escape from Winterfell- Suspenseful.

In random order:

-The Red Wedding. No further explanation needed.

-Ned's Death. Same. Sets the tone for the entire series.

-Sansa building the snow Winterfell at the Eyrie. I don't know why, but I found it beautiful. Actually I loved that entire chapter, it's the one with "Only Cat"

-"For the Watch." Jon's betrayal, the Ides of Marsh.

-The Battle of the Wall and surrounding events. Pure awesomeness.

-Tyrion and Sansa's marriage. Just the whole thing.

-Tywin's death. He didn't shit gold.

Honorable mentions:

Joffrey's wedding, Oberyn vs. Gregor, Tyrion's time as hand, Broken men speech, 'Take him to the wall... and hang him' (Slynt's death), Do you know what honor is Jaime Lannister, Cersei selfdestructing in AFFC, Theon's escape in ADWD.
