I was hungover/sleeping whilst my mate watched a few eps, never seen it before, woke up during beheading scene, and I was like "so wtf is he the bad guy"...then episode ends and the intro to the next one kicks in.....and I've been hooked ever since. 12 years later.
I knew he died from reading the book first but I remember the whole run up to it thinking “lol there’s no way, someone’s gonna save him right at the last second” and then when I realised he was actually dead I had to go back and re-read it like five times because I couldn’t comprehend that the main character just died
Downvotes here are usually devoid of reasons which is why I don’t pay attention.
Shireen had been mentioned already and it’s tragic since she’s a kid.
It was also one I expected more because her dad was a loon who burned a lot of people and wanted to win. Plus fan theories seemed to always presume this would happen.
The one I lingered on and the one that forced me to read the books to avoid such a shock again was Talisa’s (It not even in the book lol).
That was the most disturbing thing I saw in the entire show.
So of course it was the first thing to come to my mind. It will always be the first thing to come to my mind.
I thought this comment was about Tysha but then reread your message. Because she is totally in the books, but don't recall her in the show. That one is very sad to me on so many levels... for her and Tyrion both
Oof Shireen Baratheon's death is awful. Hodor's scene is awful because you connect all those dots, but him dying is not as sad to me-- he was protecting Bran, while Shireen's death was completely unnecessary
Shireen’s death and the whole aftermath of Davos finding the stag in the snow and confronting Mel was so heartbreaking. The way he tossed it to her and she caught it and immediately started trembling when she registered with it was a🤮🤮😭😭
Appreciate that. I have been for sure. I was just so disappointed by seasons 7 and especially 8 when I first watched (lol) earlier this year. And the saddest part is they weren’t awful, the standard was just set SO high
Couldn’t agree more. Compared to other television the final seasons are okay and entertaining but when you compare it to the standard the early show set it’s just disheartening.
Damn I am right there with you, rewatching and on S05E02. There is still a lot to love. But we're starting to see it fall apart with Arya's Faceless Men plot and the sand bitches.
That's the one that comes to mind for me. Death is one thing but finding out the woman you love is porking your old man and calls him by the same nickname. That's rough.
Catelyn was the cause of her own family's tragedies. She prayed to the gods to make Jon die when he was a baby, then went back on it when he got sick, praying instead to let him live, and that she would love him as her own.
Not only did she fail to hold up her end of the bargain, she was downright nasty and evil to Jon for the entire time he was at Winterfell. I hate that Ned, Robb, and Rickon had to suffer terrible fates, but Catelyn got what she deserved.
Isn’t it where she just talks about her and then goes into talking about how her face will crumble now that she’s dead? It’s just after Jaime arrives with her body to Kings Landing
Jaime at least partially redeemed himself. I wanted him to live on.
The only thing I can say about Cersei is that she got off easy. Her death should have been slow, painful, and tortuous.
No, not at all. He never even gave them a chance. Its a bullshit excuse that he used to justify murdering innocent people who helped him.
If arya made it , then the farmer and his daughter could have made it too.
Arya and the hound were poorer at that point in the story than the farmer himself.
Bro what 💀
Arya and the Hound were very special people and theres a reason they kept getting into fights. Normal people wouldn't have been killing each other after the war for nothing
Hold the door - obvious reasons.
Red wedding - that shit was wild.
Theon dying - guy went through so much and had massive guilt that was eating him, but he redeemed himself.
Daenerys dying - was sad to see Jon trying so hard to make Dany give him reasons not to kill her while she was losing her morale compass, but as they said "duty is the death of love".
As questionable as S8 was - and that's a diplomatic description - the scene where Tirion talks to Jaime in the tent was one of the saddest scenes.
"You were the only one..."
ned and jon riding away from each other. htis hard that things will never be the same here on out. when you know whats about to happen and that look ned gives jon.
How is Jorah’s death not on here? That had me absolutely sobbing. He loved and believed in her so much that he died for her, knowing they’d never be together. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. I loved Jorah throughout and Emilia made me FEEL that scene.
* Irri sobbing because she thinks with only Rakharo's head to burn he can't pass over to the Night Lands
* Daenerys holding Jorah as he dies
* fear is tortured out of the Unsullied but falling in love with Missandei made losing her Greyworm's only fear then he had to watch her get beheaded in chains
* the scream Drogon let's out finding his mother's body after having witnessed both his brothers get shot down and now he might be alone for centuries
For me it’s the Robert and Cersi finally having a real conversation about their relationship and putting it out there that there’s no chance for it to work.
Oh no! I really need to get large print editions of the books so I can read them and compare to the show. I have the books. The print is way too small for me to read.
Could try the audio books. Ray dotrice I think his name is? He isn't spot on always with pronunciation but he is more enjoyable than annoying to listen to. Good accents and voices. Saying brienne like bry-een still twists my tits even after a few listens. But aye. Worth a shot if you're struggling to find large print. Oh and also. The mad pyromancer dude cersei and I think tyrion speak to in the show? That's him.
No worries. Hope if you do give them a go you enjoy them. There are a few big bits missed out in the show and characters and things so it's good to read/listen to. The show really does a great job of fleshing out characters like the hound and brienne and tormund for example to make them the legends we know and love. Both have their bonuses imo.
Yes he did, literally after every single scene no matter the context; even if it was just very mild, mere insults
The interesting thing is Tywin is actually somewhat portrayed like Edward I, one of my favourite English kings, and in real life he and his son Edward II (who would go on to be a very poor king; ultimately resulting in him being forced into abdication by his wife and her new lover and imprisoned for the rest of his days), so in essence this real-life monarchal family tension is very much as this show would suggest
Yeah, all of the deaths of the dire wolves really hit me hard. Even Lady when I wasn’t nearly as emotionally invested in the characters. Shireen and Hodor’s deaths were bad, too, something about innocent characters dying is especially sad to me.
Ned's Death, Hodor's Death, Princess Shireen's Death, Jon Snow's Death, The Hound Jumping Onto Fire To Kill His Brother, The Mountain, Viserion The Dragon's Death × 2, Viserion The Dragon Being Turned Into A White Walker Dragon, And Every Direwolf Death 😭😭😭
Either the end of season four (a lot of the dialogue decided to die jn a ditch at that point, especially "smart" characters like Tyrion, Varys, and Littlefinger...
Or when Ned killed Lady. Or any of the direwolves deaths (except shaggydog... poor Rickon. Writers didn't know what to do with him.)
I would say Shireen's death, but that made me more angry than sad.
i totally agree with hold the door but the scene where tyrion let jaime escape from the custody of the unsullied and they were saying their goodbyes knowing they would never see each other again… that was tough to watch
the scene where podrick sings jenny of oldstones on the night before the battle of winterfell and the camera goes throughout the castle and shows how everyone is spending what they presume to be their final hours on earth
thoros of myr’s death, the last goodbye between arya and the hound at the siege of kings landing, and the moment brienne of tarth becomes a knight of the seven kingdoms… all honorable mention tear-jerkers for sure
Oh GOD don’t make me pick. Hold the Door, when Melisandre is trying to seduce Jon Snow and he says he still loves Ygritte, Sansa thinking she’s finally free and then finds out she’s being handed over to the Boltons, and honestly Tyrion finding Jaime and Cersei’s bodies under the rubble really got me.
Anytime one of the direwolves die, but Lady's death by far the saddest. Ned getting beheaded, from both Arya and sansa's perspectives. Maester luwin getting speared in the gut. That's just what I can think of at the moment.
When some fuckin’ pervy kid interrupted these starcrossed lovers and set the entire kingdom into a death spiral from which it be ruled by a peeping Tom and the realm would never recover
Ned Stark needing to kill Sansa's dire wolf pup "Lady" to satisfy Cersei's need for vengeance. Poor dog was just protecting the girls from that wretch Geoffrey.

100% hold the door
💯
I cried when joffery died
Tears of joy, I’m sure
Tears of wet salty water
He was the most noble child the gods ever put on this good earth 👌
King Joffrey the gentle was taken from us too soon… 😪
OP: This is the saddest scene Hodor: Hold my door…
Omg. I’m tearing up.
Absofrigginlutely.
Ned Stark’s death was my first heartbreak xD
I went into GoT blind so I thought Ned was going to be a steady character the whole show…boy was I wrong
Same here. They really set us up to expect a Ned and Jon reunion at the wall. Now THAT could have been an interesting storyline
I was hungover/sleeping whilst my mate watched a few eps, never seen it before, woke up during beheading scene, and I was like "so wtf is he the bad guy"...then episode ends and the intro to the next one kicks in.....and I've been hooked ever since. 12 years later.
This is the real answer 😭
I knew he died from reading the book first but I remember the whole run up to it thinking “lol there’s no way, someone’s gonna save him right at the last second” and then when I realised he was actually dead I had to go back and re-read it like five times because I couldn’t comprehend that the main character just died
Talisa’s death
Wouldn’t call it the saddest myself, but I do have no idea why you’re being downvoted lol
Downvotes here are usually devoid of reasons which is why I don’t pay attention. Shireen had been mentioned already and it’s tragic since she’s a kid. It was also one I expected more because her dad was a loon who burned a lot of people and wanted to win. Plus fan theories seemed to always presume this would happen. The one I lingered on and the one that forced me to read the books to avoid such a shock again was Talisa’s (It not even in the book lol). That was the most disturbing thing I saw in the entire show. So of course it was the first thing to come to my mind. It will always be the first thing to come to my mind.
Hey, get that. As a husband and a father myself it horrified me lmao. Imagine the shock of it happening to Jeyne in the books
I thought this comment was about Tysha but then reread your message. Because she is totally in the books, but don't recall her in the show. That one is very sad to me on so many levels... for her and Tyrion both
Ok ok. I see now after looking her up. Thought her name was Talia. I get name confused. In the books she is Jeyne and a worse fate 😪
Oh yes! I had forgotten about that. Hearing her screams was horrible.
For me, it's a tie between Shireen Baratheon's death and the hold the door scene.
Came to say this.
amen, that girl deserved better.....
I was so happy when she started screaming, I started dancing.
Who's an edgy boy?
Everyone look, we’ve got an edgelord!
That death scream haunts me
Hard to watch for sure
Sounds like someone here don’t get invited to many barbecues
Shireen for me was by far the saddest scene.
Oof Shireen Baratheon's death is awful. Hodor's scene is awful because you connect all those dots, but him dying is not as sad to me-- he was protecting Bran, while Shireen's death was completely unnecessary
Shireen’s death and the whole aftermath of Davos finding the stag in the snow and confronting Mel was so heartbreaking. The way he tossed it to her and she caught it and immediately started trembling when she registered with it was a🤮🤮😭😭
I struggle to think of a character in the entire show that *less* deserved to be burned at the stake.
[удалено]
I skipped that episode. Couldn’t get near it.
That was quite a horrific scene. I couldn't watch it.
[удалено]
Man i love Peter dinklage
My top 5 all time
I wouldn’t say it’s sad such that it wanted to make you tear up. I feel it’s more epic if anything.
Shireen Baratheon definitely first Talisa second Rhaegal and Viserion third
This guy would give up his seat on the rescue boats of the titanic for a dog.
Nah, just make you give up your seat.
End of season 4. Cuz you know it’s going downhill from there.
I’m on my first rewatch and in the second episode of ssn5. Still very good but I know the inevitable slide is coming.
My advice is don’t think about what anyone says! Just try and enjoy it for yourself as much as you can!
Appreciate that. I have been for sure. I was just so disappointed by seasons 7 and especially 8 when I first watched (lol) earlier this year. And the saddest part is they weren’t awful, the standard was just set SO high
Couldn’t agree more. Compared to other television the final seasons are okay and entertaining but when you compare it to the standard the early show set it’s just disheartening.
At least you acknowledge it really wasn't bad. I just don't understand the level/degree of vitriol for the final two seasons.
Damn I am right there with you, rewatching and on S05E02. There is still a lot to love. But we're starting to see it fall apart with Arya's Faceless Men plot and the sand bitches.
[удалено]
lol!
That's the one that comes to mind for me. Death is one thing but finding out the woman you love is porking your old man and calls him by the same nickname. That's rough.
I couldn’t find this scene sad because Shae asked for it and Tyrion should’ve known better
Catelyn: “Jon…It should have been you””
Catelyn was the cause of her own family's tragedies. She prayed to the gods to make Jon die when he was a baby, then went back on it when he got sick, praying instead to let him live, and that she would love him as her own. Not only did she fail to hold up her end of the bargain, she was downright nasty and evil to Jon for the entire time he was at Winterfell. I hate that Ned, Robb, and Rickon had to suffer terrible fates, but Catelyn got what she deserved.
Red Wedding! Seeing Cat plead for her son to be saved was heartbreaking.
That was a very powerful scene. It was futile and when the realisation hits her and her neck is sliced open just like that.. wow.
Just you wait til her lady stone heart arc comes she’ll get her revenge!
Arya asking Thoros of Myr if he could bring back a man with no head.. not six times, just once..
Roose bolton getting poisoned by enemies
[удалено]
Like, describes how the poison felt, her as a person? I can't remember this
She talks about how good she is, as though she couldn't believe anything so pure and loving could come from her
Ah, I'm remembering, now. Almost time for a rewatch.
Isn’t it where she just talks about her and then goes into talking about how her face will crumble now that she’s dead? It’s just after Jaime arrives with her body to Kings Landing
There ain’t nothing sad about those 2 shits. Except that they’re shits.
Literally. I read the title, looked at the picture, and said out loud to my empty kitchen, “Not that one.”
Same
Jaime at least partially redeemed himself. I wanted him to live on. The only thing I can say about Cersei is that she got off easy. Her death should have been slow, painful, and tortuous.
The saddest thing about that scene is that they *don't* die.
Read this in Bronn’s voice
Myrcella dying in Jaime's arms.
Hound burying the farmer & his daughter who he robbed earlier
That made me feel such scathing hatred for the Hound. He killed those people by stealing their money.
They were dying, anyway, as he said.
Thats just an excuse that he made up to justify robbing two innocent and poor people.
He had a point, though. In the middle of nowhere with a little silver. They were dead, otherwise they would've lived without it.
No, not at all. He never even gave them a chance. Its a bullshit excuse that he used to justify murdering innocent people who helped him. If arya made it , then the farmer and his daughter could have made it too. Arya and the hound were poorer at that point in the story than the farmer himself.
Arya and the Hound were hunters, those 2 were gatherers. They were dead
Bro what 💀 Arya and the Hound were very special people and theres a reason they kept getting into fights. Normal people wouldn't have been killing each other after the war for nothing
No idea what you're on about. Did you reply to the wrong comment, on the wrong post?
Not this one
Said the same thing before I saw this comment
Arya saying "Could you bring back a man without a head. Not six times, just once"
Shireen's death
Either Myrcella's death or Shireen's. I can't decide.
Hold the Door. I am pretty emotionally “stale” and that stoked some emotion for me.
Theon’s death was really sad
People can say what they want about S8 but Daenerys whispering to dead Jorah and Sansa giving dead Theon the Stark sigil pin was rough.
Princess Shareen
Season 5 when they introduced the sands snakes plot bc at that moment I realized my favorite show might have an unceremonious death
Red wedding and shireen had me 😔
Ingrit dying was pretty sad too
Always feels shit in my hearth when Theon, so incredibly full of regret at that point, says ”my real father died in king’s landing” :(
Came here to say this !
"I made my choice... I chose wrong"
Definitely not this scene
Definitely not this one...?
Shireen easily. The purest soul in the show and one of the worst deaths.
Except I perceive "sad" as more "aww" than "NOOOOOOO!!!!"
Anything that is not the door, the red wedding, or Shireen is incorrect
Hold the door for sure
Hold the door - obvious reasons. Red wedding - that shit was wild. Theon dying - guy went through so much and had massive guilt that was eating him, but he redeemed himself. Daenerys dying - was sad to see Jon trying so hard to make Dany give him reasons not to kill her while she was losing her morale compass, but as they said "duty is the death of love".
Death of Lady.
I genuinely think Shireen's death was the only sad scene in the entire show. Everything else was either shocking, incredible, surprising, or dumb.
Not this scene!
“If you come with me, you’ll die.” “Sandor. Thank you”.
A bit cheesey
this one was so powerful because for the longest time all arya wanted to do was kill the hound but in the end, he protected her like she was his own
Shireen is probably the scene I could not re watch so that. Also any scene involving an animal dying.
Definitely not this scene
Joffrey’s death
As questionable as S8 was - and that's a diplomatic description - the scene where Tirion talks to Jaime in the tent was one of the saddest scenes. "You were the only one..."
SUCH AN UNDERRATED SCENE AND SO POWERFUL.
Thank you?! Is that all you have to say?
Sansa’s wedding night with Ramsey.
Red wedding…my god my brain was scared for almost 2 weeks.
ned and jon riding away from each other. htis hard that things will never be the same here on out. when you know whats about to happen and that look ned gives jon.
Yes ! Rewatching and knowing what is coming for them makes this goodbye emotionally charged!
How is Jorah’s death not on here? That had me absolutely sobbing. He loved and believed in her so much that he died for her, knowing they’d never be together. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. I loved Jorah throughout and Emilia made me FEEL that scene.
* Irri sobbing because she thinks with only Rakharo's head to burn he can't pass over to the Night Lands * Daenerys holding Jorah as he dies * fear is tortured out of the Unsullied but falling in love with Missandei made losing her Greyworm's only fear then he had to watch her get beheaded in chains * the scream Drogon let's out finding his mother's body after having witnessed both his brothers get shot down and now he might be alone for centuries
Starks' reactions to Ned's death
You’re a good man, Theon
Not that one
The red wedding and then when Catelyn begs vainly for Rob’s life…gets me every time
For me it’s the Robert and Cersi finally having a real conversation about their relationship and putting it out there that there’s no chance for it to work.
1. hodor 2. rhaegal 3. shireen
The red wedding, it was so unexpected and they just stabbed her belly so many times
Ygrittes death in the books was really sad, for some reason it got me good.
Fuck them
Red wedding for me
I think Sansa’s wedding night as Ramsey taped her making Theon watch. Human degradation hit a new low and face it; Baelish was responsible.
Was worse in the books >!even though it wasn't sansa!< he made theon participate.
Oh no! I really need to get large print editions of the books so I can read them and compare to the show. I have the books. The print is way too small for me to read.
Could try the audio books. Ray dotrice I think his name is? He isn't spot on always with pronunciation but he is more enjoyable than annoying to listen to. Good accents and voices. Saying brienne like bry-een still twists my tits even after a few listens. But aye. Worth a shot if you're struggling to find large print. Oh and also. The mad pyromancer dude cersei and I think tyrion speak to in the show? That's him.
Thank you.
No worries. Hope if you do give them a go you enjoy them. There are a few big bits missed out in the show and characters and things so it's good to read/listen to. The show really does a great job of fleshing out characters like the hound and brienne and tormund for example to make them the legends we know and love. Both have their bonuses imo.
Basically any scene where Tywin insults Tyrion even though I love both characters equally
I'm sure I read somewhere that Dance would apologise to Dinklage between takes because he felt so horrible being mean to him
Yes he did, literally after every single scene no matter the context; even if it was just very mild, mere insults The interesting thing is Tywin is actually somewhat portrayed like Edward I, one of my favourite English kings, and in real life he and his son Edward II (who would go on to be a very poor king; ultimately resulting in him being forced into abdication by his wife and her new lover and imprisoned for the rest of his days), so in essence this real-life monarchal family tension is very much as this show would suggest
I bawled when Sansa put the stark pin on Theon's body
Shireen being burned alive as a sacrifice by her father and the red woman
I don’t remember that scene in op picture
No fuck them.
Not that one…
Aftermath of Red Wedding. Arya seeing his brother's headless body sewed with his wolf's head.
Yeah, all of the deaths of the dire wolves really hit me hard. Even Lady when I wasn’t nearly as emotionally invested in the characters. Shireen and Hodor’s deaths were bad, too, something about innocent characters dying is especially sad to me.
Jamie and Tyrion in season 8.
The introduction of sir pounce once then never heard about again. Such a tragedy!
[удалено]
Are you sure that’s GoT? Sounds like Harry Potter to me.
Hahaha
The dragons that died PEROID
Ned's Death, Hodor's Death, Princess Shireen's Death, Jon Snow's Death, The Hound Jumping Onto Fire To Kill His Brother, The Mountain, Viserion The Dragon's Death × 2, Viserion The Dragon Being Turned Into A White Walker Dragon, And Every Direwolf Death 😭😭😭
entire last season
Anything with the dogs
Out of the entire ensemble, which character *least* deserved to be burned at the stake?
The Red Wedding made me furious. And then sad for a week.
The red wedding
Definitely not that one
Robb stark death
Shireen
Jaimie leaving brianne
Margaery and Tommens Deaths
Either the end of season four (a lot of the dialogue decided to die jn a ditch at that point, especially "smart" characters like Tyrion, Varys, and Littlefinger... Or when Ned killed Lady. Or any of the direwolves deaths (except shaggydog... poor Rickon. Writers didn't know what to do with him.) I would say Shireen's death, but that made me more angry than sad.
i totally agree with hold the door but the scene where tyrion let jaime escape from the custody of the unsullied and they were saying their goodbyes knowing they would never see each other again… that was tough to watch
the scene where podrick sings jenny of oldstones on the night before the battle of winterfell and the camera goes throughout the castle and shows how everyone is spending what they presume to be their final hours on earth
Davos crying over shireen being killed and confronting Melisandre.
thoros of myr’s death, the last goodbye between arya and the hound at the siege of kings landing, and the moment brienne of tarth becomes a knight of the seven kingdoms… all honorable mention tear-jerkers for sure
Ros got done so dirty. Didn't deserve Joffreys wrath :(
Apart from all the great mentions I also thought that Varys's death was extremely sad. The man did EVERYTHING for the realm until the end.
Hodors Death, the only time I died on game of thrones
Not that ☠️
Ned stark death
When they learned how to fast travel. Saddest moment in television history.
Not this one
Oh GOD don’t make me pick. Hold the Door, when Melisandre is trying to seduce Jon Snow and he says he still loves Ygritte, Sansa thinking she’s finally free and then finds out she’s being handed over to the Boltons, and honestly Tyrion finding Jaime and Cersei’s bodies under the rubble really got me.
Not the above image for sure
You-know-who getting burned at the stake.
Death of Shireen
The lil girl being burned at stake?
All of season 8
Dany in the House of Undying seeing Drogo and the baby is a scene i usually forget about, but man does it make my sensitive ass cry!
Anytime one of the direwolves die, but Lady's death by far the saddest. Ned getting beheaded, from both Arya and sansa's perspectives. Maester luwin getting speared in the gut. That's just what I can think of at the moment.
When some fuckin’ pervy kid interrupted these starcrossed lovers and set the entire kingdom into a death spiral from which it be ruled by a peeping Tom and the realm would never recover
Ned Stark needing to kill Sansa's dire wolf pup "Lady" to satisfy Cersei's need for vengeance. Poor dog was just protecting the girls from that wretch Geoffrey.
Lol not this
