Ser Loras The Gay Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Mine was Varys giving his speak to Kevan, about how Aegon is still alive and it's here. Absolutely fabolous. I imagine a fat man without hair with a crossbow in one hand with that fucking deep voice saying "he's here." I get the shills dude. What about you guys?

Maxxine Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Either Dany taking Astapor or when Arya reunites with Harwin. Actually there are probably a few other Arya scenes but that's the first one that came to mind. I love the vulnerability of the moment after all that she had been through plus it's probably the closest thing she's going to get to a family reunion until Dream. Dany in Astapor is such a strong scene & it shows how Dany is coming into her own. And it's her peak. Her arc plateaus then goes downhill from there.

Are Arya your favourite character? Say others scenes you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Jaime burning Cersei's letter. To me that's a huge turning point in Jaime's story. Him realizing that despite how much he longs for her, that she's bad for him. Like any other drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Lovejoy Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Tough call... gosh this is harder than I thought it would be. Either when Davos argues for Stannis at White Harbor in ADWD, when Catelyn gets Jaime drunk and questions him at Riverrun in ACOK, or Joffrey's death (can't remember if that was ASOS or AFFC). I really enjoyed all of Ned and Robert's scenes together in AGOT. The House of the Undying was pretty cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindsayLohan Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 For me it's the wedding of Alys Karstark and Sigorn of Thenn. Throughout the novels we see a series of forced marriages, wedding massacres, rapes, etc. The institute of marriage is less "politics" and more "warfare" during the WOT5K. Jon makes a political move, altering the power structure of the North, bringing Houses Thenn and Karstark together, and the wedding is actually shown as a tender moment. Sigorn is genuinely happy and and nervous about his new pretty, highborn wife. Alys feels empowered and the marriage helps create a new bond between Stark and Karstark that was shattered during the war. The clansmen seem to approve of Jon's brokered marriage, and the Wildlings make their first real attempt at integration into the 7K. Moreover, the wedding itself was written to be a beautiful, warm event. Melissandre didn't go overboard with her religious zealotry, she seemed to embrace the joining of two people in marriage, and the mood spread to the entire event. Jon noticed that Hobb did well with preparing a proper feast, the men of the Watch actually danced with the few ladies present, and it seemed like a moment of happiness and social progress. It was the type of wedding that everyone would have wanted to attend. It was one of the books' best scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makk Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 So many to choose from. Tower of Joy dream Robb's speech to Catelyn about his will Walder Fray chastising Robb about breaking his word (and just as good when you know what's coming) Jaime confronting the Blackfish Lead up to Jon decapitating Janos Slynt Tyrion manipulating Aegon during cyvasse game Wyalla Manderly's speech (and Wyman's when he releases Davos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foot_Of_The_King Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Too many. Not the best scene but one that sticks out to me that I never hear mentioned is the Jamie/Bri Tub scene. A lot of symbolism is the "cleansing" idea Big moments for me -"blood of my blood"(end of GOT) -Mountain vs Viper -"fetch me a block" -bear pit -Ned's fever dream -Blackwater -"a dragon is no slave" -Davos at White Harbors court -Kings Moot Tons more I'm forgetting I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphis Baratheon Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Can't believe I'm picking an Iron Born chapter but the Kingmoot.

Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!" 3 hours ago, LindsayLohan said: Alys Karstark and Sigorn of Thenn. Excellent choices all of them Also When the horns are blown outside Winterfell and everyone thinks is Stannis. "And a name passed from the lips of each man to the next, written in small white puffs of breath. Stannis, they whispered, Stannis is here, Stannis is come, Stannis, Stannis, Stannis." Thinking about it there are many scenes involving Stannis that are fantastic. But certainly the best scene of the books is the born of the dragons at the end of AGOT. It is a change of the tides, a quantum leap in the story. You know that everything will be different onwards. "As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons."

Daniel von Gothenburg Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The scene when Jaime sees snow fall in the South. Really cool and ominous. I think it's the same as when he has burnt the letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tension on the Mountain vs. The Red Viper was one of the most compelling moments in the book, and I love the humor of Walder Frey and the Blackfish. I hadn't thought about the Thenn/Karstark wedding but you're right - that was a great scene. I also felt a sort of catharsis after Jon read the Pink Letter to the NW and Free Folk gathered at castle black and decided to march south.
