I’ve been wanting to revisit the first season of Game of Thrones recently – mainly because I’m werido who has to a watch show the entire way through at least once a year.
With the season 6 finale airing last week, now seems like a good time in order to start rewatching it and seeing if I can link anything together – I really couldn’t, but see below for the thoughts I had.
I’ll warn you now, there are spoilers….
- This is the first time I’ve watched this since the first time I’ve watched this all the way through last year
- Most of the stuff I know or remember, I’ve read on Buzzfeed
- This is The Wall!
- It’s been two whole minutes and not a single word has been said yet!
- Ooh burning bodies, that’s never good!
- And this scene is the reason I turned this off when I first started trying to Game of Thrones (4 years ago!)
- Will the symbol the body parts made mean something later on?
- No! Don’t get back on your horse!
- The White Walkers bringing new meaning to ‘big baby blues’
- When you think about it, a lot happens before the opening credits
- It’s making me a bit sad seeing the actor’s names of characters who are going to die over the next 6 seasons.
- a) Why did the white walker let him get away, and b) how did he get past castle black? Why didn’t he go there and tell him what he saw?
- How young do Bran and Rickon look?!
- Arya embarrassing her little brother – I’d be more like Bran with a bow and arrow than Arya
- “Winter is coming” First mention of the season
- There’s Theon Greyjoy, looking whole and in one piece
- “Don’t look away” A lesson Bran takes to heart in later seasons, when he just can’t stop bloody looking at things he shouldn’t do … *sob* Hodor ….
- Actually – it’s something he takes to heart pretty early on really
- Look at all the young innocent direwolves
- I forgot what a dick Theon use to be
- Jon could get a job with the RSPCA, saving animals like that
- I don’t know if it’s my TV/DVD or if everything genuinely does look incredibly old school
- I didn’t realise how much I missed Catelyn and Ned until right now
- Say no, Ned! Say no!
- “Heard the Prince is a right royal prick” might be putting it lightly
- Look at Bran climbing everywhere
- Those pups are seriously cute
- Why are they wearing masks with wolf features on?
- Oh! It’s the Hound!
- Does this mean the Mountain has one shaped like a mountain?!
- Sansa’s making eyes at Joffrey – bleurgh
- Robert Baratheon was in the Full Monty, wasn’t he?
- You could never say “You got fat!” to your girlfriends after a long time, you’d get a slap in the face!
- I am a bit surprised that Cersei would let Joffrey ride on horseback and not demand he be in the carriage like her other kids
- Cersei’s costumes definitely improve through the seasons
- Ooh first mention of Lyanna
- Again Ned, just say no!
- What does Tyrion look like?! It’s like an awkward #tbt moment
- Jamie giving his little brother an orgy in order to make sure he’s at dinner on time …seems about right
- With the use of hindsight, I don’t actually feel sorry for Robert any more, he seems quite possessive
- Emilia Clarke looks so young
- Illyria? Isn’t that a place in Twelfth Night by Shakespeare?
- Oh it’s creepy the way Viserys looks at Dany – like she’s meat he’s selling … which I guess she kind of is technically
- “It’s too hot m’lady” first clue we get of Dany’s special talents
- What does Dany have on her feet?!
- I’d forgotten how meek and mild she used to be
- “I’d let his whole tribe fuck you” that’s the best offer of sibling affection I’ve ever heard
- Do you reckon if Sansa had a crystal ball she’d still be begging to be allowed to go to Kings Landing and marry Joffrey?
- UNCLE BENJEN!!!!
- “You might, if you knew what it meant” so does that mean Benjen was the only one who knew about R+L=J?
- How has Tyrion managed to get better looking after one scene?
- If Ned had doubts, why didn’t he check with the Nights Watch before he beheaded the boy?
- “Have you bled yet?” 4 words to make any conversation awkward
- What’s Jamie’s issue with Ned?
- Even Richard Madden looks quite young in this
- I guess it’s not a wedding unless there’s a fight!
- Jorah!
- Viserys is looking like he wants a wedding so he can get cool gifts too
- Do you reckon the actresses playing the Dothraki women pulled straws to see which of them would have to have their boobs out?
- Horses? … check …. Romantic sunset? … check … Beach?… check … Rape of a young girl who has been sold into marriage to help her weirdo brothers prospects? … check.
- Why does Theon look better dressed than the Starks do? All grey and strutting
- Baby Summer was so cute!
- No Bran! Stop climbing! A 10 year old does not need to see where those noises are coming from!
- Do you think Isaac Hempstead Wright misses using his legs to act with, or do you reckon he likes being carried around everywhere?
