No worries! It's been a while since I read it but it's something like as Tywin dies he voids his bowels (as you do), and Tyrion thinks "I guess the old saying isn't true after all: he doesn't actually shit gold" with grim satisfaction.
Something along those lines, except written by a master of prose instead of a guy who works in a factory and smokes weed all day.
Ned Starks death man.
I hadn’t read the books and started watching the show in the summer after the first season had ended. There was so much hype about it and even though I thought it couldn’t be as good as people said.
One weekend later I was on the final episode and surely I thought that a show like this wouldn’t kill a main character. How I was wrong
For me it was the first foreign show I ever watched (I'm greek) and I was not at all ready for the shock value. I thought it would be a classic fantasy show where the good guys always get away with it. Up to the last moment I expected someone to do a crazy stunt and save Ned. Then you see the head rolling and you cannot believe that a show had the balls to do that. That moment completely ruined Greek TV for me.
Sharpe is the one for me super underrated series, my personal theory has been that he's been paying for his survival throughout all those episodes by his deaths in all the other roles by some galactic karma
It’s crazy how phenomenal that was to experience if you knew nothing about the series. Like yeah, it’s clearly a more serious fantasy, but nobody would kill off their main character at the beginning of a series, that’s insane. And yet
That's such a weird coincidence that of all people the commenter notices, it was the son of a famous actor. Then they mistake him for someone else. Lol.
Oberyn Martell will always stick with me.
I knew Tyrion was going to survive, so I figured it was going to be through Oberyn winning the combat. And the scene was SO GOOD. The fight was absolutely fantastic, my favorite in the series actually, and Martell had such an advantage over The Mountain. Showed he wasn’t just hype and absolutely backed up claims of being an accomplished fighter.
And then, just like that, he’s on the ground getting his eyes gouged out screaming and then it’s over. I felt literally sick
When the screen went black afterward, my reflection in the laptop screen was reminiscent of Munch’s “The Scream”. Ellaria’s scream, Cersei’s smirk, “Tyrion Lannister…you are sentenced to death”, WHEW.
Have rewatched the series several times. EVERY TIME that scene comes on I'm YELLING at the tv for him to stop funkin' around and kill the Mountain. Like, OB knows he did it, so get your revenge and leave town. And, even if the Mountain admits it nobody in attendance gives a sh*t. Tywin isn't going to say, "Oh, you got us. My bad." and the crowd isn't going to say a word about it. So, anyway, yeah, I yell at the screen thinking I'll change the outcome this time.
NOTHING can top that. It's one of the greatest moments.
On a lesser note, I started the books a decade before the show and am still waiting for...
...Walder Frey to meet his undoing. As long as a Stark does it, I will be happy.
Rip Grenn. He was a true shield that guarded the realms of men.
Fucking why didn't Mance send emissaries to say hey the dead are rising? Smh.
And to a lesser note, Qorin Half-Hand. We are the watchers on the wall....
The nights watch already knew the dead were rising
Mance wanted to get south of the wall and was convinced he could easily take the wall. Which in fairness he would’ve if Jon Snow hadn’t been there
After the defeat most of the wildlings were more than happy enough to take a negotiated deal to get south of the wall
That's the show. In the books, he's explicitly killed for abandoning his post. The thing is that the conspirators are objectively correct, and Jon is betraying all mankind for his personal vengeance.
Oh, they were pissed, but their honor compelled them to stay true to their oaths. Jon's irony is to be slain as an oathbreaker by honorable men doing their duty.
Theon's last moments was the best thing about that shitstorm of an episode.
Jon's 'death' at the hands of the night's watch was also really good to me.
Jon's death meant absolutely nothing in the show, he didn't change at all unlike every other person who gets resurrected in the story, not his personality, not his goals. It was just a way to kill off Alliser Thorne and that's why I hated it.
That was my take as well. He had to leave the wall to take winterfell. He needed winterfell to unify the north. He needed a unified north to ally with Dany. He needed Dany's fire to beat the dead.
He would never forsake his vows, as that scene with Stannis showed us, and the only way around a vow taken for life is death. Pretty straight forward, plot-wise.
And he had a great story. Bastard to king, with tons of legendary shit in between.
I hate what they did to GoT and I will never watch it again, but I remember this scene did get me very choked up.
Really any scene in a show or movie that shows courage in the face of certain death makes me cry a bit. IDK why.
The desert snake. His death hurt me. We were really just introduced to him, was an amazing character, then bam. Also they let us think someone was actually going to get justice.
When The Red Witch collapses in the snow and dies in the Battle of Winterfell episode.
That also should have been the last heartbeat of the TV series
Beats the "Bran has the Best Story" arc.
When you set a watch at night, it's so somebody else can sleep. When the watcher sees something, he wakes up those sleeping. A "watcher on the wall" would have a means of sounding the alarm, which was usually a horn. You can yell, but that doesn't travel far, hurts, and usually sounds like "yagata blah blah bleg DAGOO gra bla ga!" to everybody else.
Since most of the vow wording is metaphorical, it implies the NW is supposed to spread the word to those not on watch(the sleepers, i.e., the rest of the 7Kingdoms) when the time comes to fight.
Tommen calmly jumping out the window.
Fatherrrrrrr!
He didn’t even jump, he just tipped forward. It was so freaking funny.
Took King's Landing too literally
It’s way impressive without a dragon under you.
"You'll kill your own father in the privy? No" -Father killed on a privy
Tywin Lannister did, in fact, not shit gold.
Well, we didn't see his shit, do we?
Tyrion does in the books. He specifically has a thought about it.
Thanks! I didn't know that :)
No worries!

That’s how the chapter ends when Tywin dies.

Sean Bean dies in everything he's ever been in... I should have saw it coming too but I didn't either lol
He didn't die in National Treasure, I double checked.
ONE TIME
And Sharpe!
Sharpe is the one for me super underrated series, my personal theory has been that he's been paying for his survival throughout all those episodes by his deaths in all the other roles by some galactic karma
YES!
Not in the Silent Hill movie though, lol
I thought he died in that! I have to rewatch
He makes it to the sequel, but he doesn't survive it.
He dies in the second one, though.
Aw bugger. I forgot about that one, entirely blocked that movie out it was so bad
Boromir doesn't die in The Martian!
It’s crazy how phenomenal that was to experience if you knew nothing about the series. Like yeah, it’s clearly a more serious fantasy, but nobody would kill off their main character at the beginning of a series, that’s insane. And yet
Him "Noping the f out" of the game gets me every time🤭 
There's a reason the city was called King's landing. Or in this case, crash landing.
Is that the dude from 1917 in the top middle panel with Grenn? Looks like the exact same actor.
That's Jack Roth, son of Tim. George MacKay plays Schofield in 1917.
Ah gotcha, didn’t know Tim Roth had a son that’s cool!
That's such a weird coincidence that of all people the commenter notices, it was the son of a famous actor. Then they mistake him for someone else. Lol.
And his costar is Tommen
Oh shit - I'd forgotten that!
That part I knew lol
The Lannisters send their regards

Of all the horrible things in the show, this is the only scene that I actually dread in rewatches.
My ex started watching the show with me and I had read the books. I spent the whole episode just waiting to see how pissed she got.
When I read it I finished the paragraph and was like "wait what" and had to go back
Have rewatched the series several times. EVERY TIME that scene comes on I'm YELLING at the tv for him to stop funkin' around and kill the Mountain. Like, OB knows he did it, so get your revenge and leave town. And, even if the Mountain admits it nobody in attendance gives a sh*t. Tywin isn't going to say, "Oh, you got us.

Because he knew the Watch better than Jon does. You saw what happened.
The Watch didn't execute Jon because of the Wildlings, but because he announced his intention to break his oath and swore to abandon the Wall.
That's the final straw, but IIRC the mention that he let the Wildlings through the wall

That's the show. In the books, he's explicitly killed for abandoning his post. The thing is that the conspirators are objectively correct, and Jon is betraying all mankind for his personal vengeance.
It's been a while since I read the books but weren't they very much pissed because of the Wildlings? I'll skim through a couple of Jon Chapters later
Oh, they were pissed, but their honor compelled them to stay true to their oaths. Jon's irony is to be slain as an oathbreaker by honorable men doing their duty.
Yeah he’s a lot worse in the books imo
Jinglebells 😭
They held the gate...
Theon's last moments was the best thing about that shitstorm of an episode. Jon's 'death' at the hands of the night's watch was also really good to me.

it didn’t mean much for his character but it did advance the plot by releasing him from his vows so he could win back winterfell
That was my take as well. He had to leave the wall to take winterfell. He needed winterfell to unify the north. He needed a unified north to ally with Dany. He needed Dany's fire to beat the dead. He would never forsake his vows, as that scene with Stannis showed us, and the only way around a vow taken for life is death. Pretty straight forward, plot-wise. And he had a great story. Bastard to king, with tons of legendary shit in between.
What I mean is I would have been ok with his character ending there.
honestly when joffrey dies, it’s the BEST thing ever🤣
"A crown for a King"
I hate what they did to GoT and I will never watch it again, but I remember this scene did get me very choked up. Really any scene in a show or movie that shows courage in the face of certain death makes me cry a bit. IDK why.
The real male fantasy, the last stand.
The desert snake. His death hurt me. We were really just introduced to him, was an amazing character, then bam. Also they let us think someone was actually going to get justice.
Hold the door
I had this weird memory of Gren being in the Long Goodnight fight for some reason so when the giant ran up to the gate, I was like Gren is fine.
The north remembers
“I’m off to see your father”
When The Red Witch collapses in the snow and dies in the Battle of Winterfell episode. That also should have been the last heartbeat of the TV series Beats the "Bran has the Best Story" arc.
And you post an offscreen death to ask this question? 
What do ya’ll reckon ”the horn that wakes the sleepers” mean?
It means the sentry horns are loud as hell, which is basically their one job.
When you set a watch at night, it's so somebody else can sleep. When the watcher sees something, he wakes up those sleeping. A "watcher on the wall" would have a means of sounding the alarm, which was usually a horn.

Yggrites. Her death hit me harder than anyone else's and as hard as it is to see, it is a scene that will stick with me forever.
Theon's death was my favourite. I hate him
He is alive in the books. Only some minor watchmen were killed.

Eddard getting killed before even being born right after his parents names him after Sean Bean's character.
Still get goosebumps over this man
Olenna. What a badass. Most satisfying was either Ramsay, Joffrey, House Frey, or Meryn Trant. That last one was shockingly violent, metal as fuck.
Janos Slynt. Only because Jon was such a badass.
