What have some of your most memorable moments been from Game of Thrones's fifth season?
I think anyone will forget what Ramsay did to Sansa D:
ReplyDeleteThe final scene from that finale has been burnt into my memory, and I've only watched it once. First time in a LONG time that I've been left that stunned.
ReplyDeleteNumber two would be Jon killing the White Walker. That took me by surprise quite a bit. Third is Cersei's walk of shame. Never thought I'd think that six minutes of nudity and walking (I didn't time it - I got it elsewhere before anyone makes any assumptions of me lol) would be as powerful as that scene was.
I certainly won't forget it. Awful moment. I'm so glad she escaped.
ReplyDeletex The battle of Hardhome was like 20 minutes of pure Game of Thrones wonder.
ReplyDeletex Dany and Tyrion meeting was everything I've been hoping for since the show began.
x Dany and Drogon flying off.
x Jon dying, god no fan is forgetting this!
Jon Snow is killed !!!!
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one not affected by Jon dying? He's one of my faves but I am in such denial and so certain that Melisandre will bring him back. We have seen a red priest resurrect someone before so why not.
ReplyDeleteShe has to serve some purpose in Season 6 now that Stannis is presumably dead. Her bringing Jon back would make sense seeing as where she is at the end of the season.
ReplyDeleteDany and Drogon flying off together and Cersei's walk of atonement. This last scene truly shocked me to be honest.
ReplyDeletewhy the fuck is Sansa's rape scene a "memorable moment"
ReplyDeleteHardhome was the best episode of the series, in my opinion. Just incredible. I liked the battle of Blackwater and Castle Black but Hardhome outdid them.
ReplyDeleteBecause I think we never saw it coming and by memorable I think that Robert means it's so surprising that you just can't forget it.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't know I was like "oh okay"... Maybe I just didn't realize how important it was.
ReplyDeleteIt's a scene that fans will never forget, including myself. It was truly an awful moment/scene. It's not memorable because it was a good scene, because it wasn't, it was the opposite but it's something that will stick with fans because it was so horrifying.
ReplyDeleteFYI: I never picked the moment. It was selected by fans of the show on Twitter as per the introduction sentence.
I didn't actually pick that scene. It was chosen by 3 different people when I asked for submissions via twitter.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it, so shocking. I didn't expect it at all.
ReplyDeleteThis show is amazing and just episode 5.10 has several memorable moments
ReplyDeleteYep, I read it just after posting the comment lol.
ReplyDeletekills a whitewalker (other) and comes face to face for the first time with his arch-enemy. Great episode, the most memorable scene of the entire season, and a huge moment for the mythology of the series, Jon's arc story and a glimpse of the future. Those 2 are prophesied to lead their armies against one another for 1000 years or more than 5, depending on which legend/myth you choose.
ReplyDeleteBecause it was easily one of the most impactful and memorable scenes of the season.
ReplyDeleteA scene does not need to be enjoyed or even liked for it to be memorable.
Agreed...
ReplyDeleteAlthough I may disagree with whether or not people saw it coming. As soon as I heard Littlefinger's plan to marry Sansa to Ramsay I assumed there would be a rape because of who Ramsay is and what he does. It was the natural progression of the arc in my opinion.
I may not have picked it as one of my top ten memorable scenes, but I can easily understand why some people did.
I think the Hardhome battle and that scene in particular would be the most memorable for me as well. Cinematically it was beautifully done and as it exposed new information the books had yet to reveal.
ReplyDeleteSo shocking too, that's my favorite character and Kit Harrington says he does' t come back. Still can't believe it ....
ReplyDeleteI think Hardhome works so well because its the first major battle which happens during the day, you can actually see what is going on!. I love the others but half the time I couldn't really make out what was happening.
ReplyDeletethat's what I was thinking. like why would she return to castle black?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one . For me the series (books mostly) is a " A Song of Ice & Fire " right ?? So if Denearys is fire then John must be ice imo .
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm the only one, but I loved thhe interaction between Littlefinger and Olenna, from episode. Two smart people... just discussing
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that as well. Great scene between them.
