I'm actually surprised to not see s4 ep 6 here. I mean, Tyrion's trial had to be the best scene Peter Dinklage has filmed in the whole series, it easily makes it into my top 3 GOT episodes.
Yeah Tyrion’s trial is top tier GOT. Rest of the episode however is mostly forgettable and shirtless Ramsay fighting was ridiculous. Stannis and Davos in Braavos was cool though
@@joeyjerry1586 yeah it would definitely be high on my top 10 scenes list but the rest of the episode isn’t nearly as strong
@@JahanMisra Even the trial plotline is affected by Shae's nonsensical 180 characterization which completely ruins the 3 years worth of buildup for their relationship.
It also has Yara going to the Dreadfort so.... Yeah
@@thomaslynch5313, man, you do know that Tywin turned Shae against Tyrion. That’s why Shae was found in Tywin’s bed in the season finale. Plus Shae was heartbroken by Tyrion breaking up with her
Watchers on the Wall and Blackwater are cinematic masterpieces that I wished the series was able to reach again but unfortunately failed to meet to that standard in the last few seasons.
The thing that’s so great about Blackwater is that a lot of the best stuff is away from the battle. Cersei’s interaction with Sansa is great and Lena Headey’s acting is terrific. There’s other good stuff between Tyrion/Varys and Bronn/Hound.
Unlike Battle of the Bastards, which is a visual masterpiece but the writing is levels below that of Blackwater (and seasons 1-4 in general)
Battle of the Bastards matched it. Had my favorite scene in the entire show: Jon facing the charge. It all came down to that moment.
@@chscelebrity8325 there were so many moments that were pure plot armor and stupid writing that drops it down
@@phantomguy1237 pure plot armour yes, but if you look at it superstitiously then maybe Jon was never meant to die according to the light gods. You know?
they shouldve got the director (neil marshall) back. those two episodes were the only ones he ever got to make :(
Kissed by fire will always be my fav episode.... Where jaime tells his story.... What a scene !!!!
100% agree
Do u play brawl stars
Me too Jaime confession’s is my favorite scene
I understand what you're saying, but him saying that he never cared for the people of Kings Landing even though his entire arc is based off that is S tier writing too XD
@@calebwinfield1403 🤣🤣🤣 we got D&D (Dumb & Dumber) to blame for that...
Grenn and the Boys vs Mag the Mighty is such an underrated scene. I never see it mentioned when people rank the best scenes! And it also gives us an amazing exchange between Jon and Mance:
“He was a King, the last of his line that stretched back thousands of years.”
“Grenn came from a farm.”
its Grenn not Green fyi
@@jester7786 autocorrect lol obviously his name isn’t “Green”
@@BIastwave. haha i thought so but it was just because you said it twice, just wanted to be sure you weren't mistaken!
@@jester7786 appreciate it lol
I was really sad, but proud of them.
The Sansa and Cersei scenes in Blackwater are some of my all time top scenes. Great parallels between the men fighting their war outside and Cersei explaining her own use of feminine strength.
I agree! If anything, that was my favorite part of the episode (it’s been a minute since I’ve watched it, so I can’t fully say for sure). I loved the dialogue between Cersei and Sansa.
Honestly saying these scenes needed to be cut down is one of his worst takes imo. The battle is fine but true character development was happening in the Sansa-Cersei scenes. This scene should have been pivotal to Sansa’s arc (if the show had handled her properly in season 7). She was supposed to learn the game with skill on the level of Littlefinger and these scenes were her first lessons. Plus it was proof that
Cersei felt like she could very much relate to Sansa rather than hating her. Sansa was just a tool to Cersei half the time, but there were flashes of empathy because she could see herself in Sansa.
But upon re-watching, those scenes seem really distracting, atleast for me. I love conversations but not during a battle and not that long.
i agree i didn’t like his list and after watching his channel i don’t agree w a majority of his takes
They were awesome indeed. They gave the audience a breather to the ever building battle and the acting and dialogue was great. I also loved the the vignettes before the battle. They were perfect.
I have to put 6x10 because I loved how they handled the beginning of the episode. The tension building up, the realization that something's definitely off, and the viewers' realization that whatever's about to happen, Cersei's already won. Pycelle getting murdered, Margaery trying to get everyone out because she's the only one who knows Cersei's up to something, and then Lancel being the first victim of the wildfire before the Sept of Baelor is destroyed. Cersei's response to Tommen's death in this episode and 7x1 show how far gone she is at this point. Also Arya killed Walder Frey, another one of my favorite scenes, and Daenerys finally set sail for Westeros after years of building up her army and liberating Slaver's Bay.
I have to go with 3x9 as a close second because the Red Wedding was done so well in the show. The Rains of Castamere starts playing and Catelyn is the first to realize something's off before shit starts going horribly wrong, and it's one of those scenes you have to rewatch after the first time because out of nowhere, Robb and Catelyn have just been murdered. Robb is another character they were starting to build up as like a hero, and even though Ned Stark died two seasons before, despite Robb's mistakes, it felt like he was safe and if anything, he would die in battle.
I think when Myrcella dies, Cersei realizes that the whharsayr is right, and from that point on comes to terms with Tommen's death.
For me the first 10mins of that episode are the best 10min in the whole series for me. One of the best usage of music in the history of television series!
White wolf scene. 🐺
Agree, I adore the WHOLE episode!
Omg thank you!! ! The s6 finale is definitely in my top 3 if not my favorite episodes. The build up to the sept exploding as the different instruments slowly add in until it’s a full orchestra. And Danny finally setting sail always gives me chills. But the scene that gets me is in Winterfel when Liana rips into the northern lords and names John king in the north. Freaking chills!!! Sure the episode had some weak scenes, but I still love it.
Mountain and the Viper is my favorite episode by far my favorite episode in the entire series. Dany's reaction to Jorah being a spy, Theon's tragic dissociation at Moat Cailin, Sansa taking her first steps to becoming manipulative and lying in the Eerie to protect Littlefinger, and of course, the perfectly done subversion of the David and Goliath trope, where Oberyn's arc ends in a horrifically beautiful way in his duel against Ser Gregor. I love every second of that episode, but that's my extremely subjective take.
That fight scene was the best in the whole series. Oberyn Martell was a warrior's warrior. If he had just a bit more humility, he would have left as the definitive winner and had been both avenged and alive. I hate watching him taunting the downed Mountain, knowing what that carelessness would cost him. May all of us learn from that scene a lesson on humility and precaution.
Not to mention Tyrion and Jaime's moments just before the trial! Which was not just top tier dialogue but also very poetic
Without Blackwater, we never would've gotten the increasing budget for each Season. On one hand, we got The Battle of Castle Black, Battle Beneath-The-Wall, and Hardhome sequences which were all amazing. On the downside, the show became too action oriented and we got the abysmal Battle of The Bastards, Battle of Beyond-The-Wall, Battle of Winterfell, and Battle of King's Landing. Damn tragedy that D&D went for spectacle rather than good tactics.
My thoughts exactly. With each season we got more budget and less tites, which theoretically is a good thing, but on practice writing is always first and foremost priority
@@sharmelfattakhov5041 And we got less good dialogue scenes. The series became a generic action oriented fantasy show.
Hey don't diss Battle of the Bastards that was epic
@@mrtom2854 It was dumb. Jon was dumb, Sansa was dumb, everyone was dumb. Jon knew better than to charge the field alone, Sansa knew better than to hold back that another force was coming, even Ramsey, insane as he was, knew better than to waste so many troops in a grindfest; we saw him execute a fine cavalry charge and encircling attack against Stannis.
It could have been great. Sansa admits that she contacted the Vale and got word back that they're on their way, tells Jon what's up with Littlefinger, and they meet the Vale forces and have process in their own ways that they have to ally with this slime to retake their home. Then do the attack, have the tragedy of Rickon but hold firm, then soldier forward and hold until the Vale executes a suprise attack as the Boltons commit and wipe them out, while Jon finally loses it and charges through the fray to catch the fleeing Ramsey, finally the fox being chased. But Sansa acts as the master to Jon's hound and claims the right to put an end to Ramsey, and the title of Lady of Winterfell, cutting half the "I don't want it" BS in the cradle.
And that's just one vision. There's any number of ways it could have been executed better, and avoided groundwork for so many of the annoyances of seasons 7 and 8, like Littlefinger skulking around biding time until they kill him.
@@mrtom2854 You probably watch Game of Thrones in bars and clap for Marvel movies
I gotta say for #9, when you said "Jaime big-dicking Loras" at the wedding, let's be real: Loras easily got the best of that exchange with his line as he walked away. Loras low-key had some great moments
Everyone seems to be forgetting The Climb (306). IMO this has the 2 best dialogue scenes in the whole show: Littlefinger's "chaos is a ladder" with Varys, and (the best scene) Tywin and Olenna matching wits negotiating Loris and Cersei's marriage. Plus the actual climb and kiss atop the wall, Joffrey killing Ros, Tyrion telling Sansa they are getting married in front of Shae, and a great character development torture scene for Ramsay. An hour of brilliance.
I remember that episode.
The Rains of Castamere is great because it shows the fallout of the Red Wedding beyond the keep, and you see Robb's army being slaughtered. There's a moment where Grey Wind is killed that Arya sees and it's always heartbreaking.
Battle of the Bastards is more than likely my favorite episode especially in terms of rewatchability. I just love that entire episode and that is my favorite battle sequence in any film/television.
The battle does look spectacular. Shame the battle makes no sense though.
@@whowoulge1256 Exactly. It's really dumb and it was 100% predictable.
That episoed sucks. It's not even shot well. Bad writing, nonsensical strategy, and it was hard to tell what was even going on.
@@Al-ji4gd yeah that is just blind hate. What do you mean with it was not good shot. Also come on. It is not like blackwater bay had a better tactical plan than Battle of Bastards
@@reyjr2460 Actually, what you people have is blind love.
First of all, yes it did lol. Second of all, Blackwater actually had good writing since it was written for TV by George himself. BOTB was written by two malcontents who couldn't continue to adapt good source material and ended up winging it.
I hate how it ended, but this show gave me so many great times. The first few seasons are still the greatest TV ever produced.
Just wanted to add about Blackwater, the scene where Stannis’ fleet get destroyed with the wildfire, you see the contrast in reactions between the Hound, Tyrion, the Pyromancer, and Joffrey. Joffrey smiling gleefully while the Hound stares in horror is an amazing shot.
Mark Addy is the reason Robert remains my favorite character. In a simple performance, he manages to carry all the complicated, morally tangled aspects of Robert's personality perfectly, yet still plays him as a sympathetic, genuinely good man. Its really one of the best performances, it's a shame he died so early in the story.
Honestly 6x10 is my guilty pleasure. I know blowing up the sept is general considered bad writing or whatever but I loved that episode
S6 9 and 10 are my guilty pleasures lol
I only like 6x10 because of the davos melisendre scene
It's so good that you couldn't even see the bad writing if you just watch it for fun, so yeah I understand. I love and hate 6x9 and 6x10 lol
Yea the Sept attack isn’t entirely bad in theory just the fact that Cersei suffers no consequences and it’s essentially like it never happened afterwards that makes it bad
I write all my best trap beats to the gif of Tommen falling out the Red Keep window.
The watchers on the wall will always be my personal favourite
My tope ten
10: Hardhome

@@chscelebrity8325 my friend had spoilt mountain and the viper for me :(
@@fifthofhisname tragic
No winds of winter and battle of bastards ?
@@mv3382 no
Elden ring has been out for a little over a week and hearing the soundtrack in a Supercuts video has to be a testament to how fire it is
I took a break for a week to play most of it. It's one of my favorite games so far.
@@SupercutsDelight Totally agree, glad you're loving it as well
@@SupercutsDelight hearing the ds1 music in the middle of the video took me back man. its been a long wait
I swear soo many people are loving Elden Ring and truly for me I dont see the appeal in it
I appreciate GRR Martin being part of the lore around Elden Ring tho
I just wanna say thank you for stil making GoT content! I just started watching it last year and now that I finished the show I’m just really sad that I missed out on all the conversations and media around GoT so thank you so much for still making it!!
Gonna start reading the books soon I’m very exited but also nervous hah
@@emyemm8502 don’t be daunted by the length of the books they are definitely worth it ^_^
The books are great especially a Storm of Swords.
missed out man
@@barkley8285 I knoooow 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
"Stannis, the one true king." Thank you for this :)
Also I feel hardhome is so underrated every single time!! The cinematography, the music and the fight scene with Jon and the Walker is unreal!!
This list is interesting and very accurate.
Also I like the fact that there's no episodes after season 4. S1-S4 was the peak of Game of Thrones.
Especially, after season 6 started, GoT relied fully on individual scenes rather than the story, which resulted in inconsistency
Yes winds of winter is the most overrated episode of the show. And the first half of battle of the bastards was an awful rushed mess.
@@chscelebrity8325 Lol winds of winter is clearly the most well rated ep in the show, no EP in GoT had that much consistency of a mixture of thrill, suspense and twists than winds of winter, but battle of the bastards is undoubtedly overrated
The sept blowing up is thrilling visually, but it’s so lazy. Easy way to rid yourself of so many obstacles in the storytelling
@@rayeedmuhtashim3 I don't care if it's the most well-rated. After the first 20 minutes, that episode sucks, just like the rest of the season.
Season 6 gets over hated, it’s not as bad as people make it out to be but people love to be sheep
I remember seeing Blackwater for the first time and chanting half-man along with the boys
Kissed by fire will always be my one of my favorite episodes where Jaimie told his story, amazing scene
The second half of season 1 is peak game of thrones for me
Yes. Whole season 1.
not just Tywin skinning the deer, but the fact he paid someone to teach him how. spent money just for one scene. just shows how epic Charles Dance can be
I actually liked the scenes of Cersei and Sansa during Battle of the Blackwater. They showed that Joffrey and Cersei could not break Sansa of her compassion. All they did was teach her how to more adeptly navigate around her captors and not get herself killed in the process. They showed that, for all her bluster, Cersei was the scared girl while Sansa was showing real leadership by keeping the other noncombatants calm and encouraged during the battle.
i agree. I didn’t like this list or a majority of his takes. Too many epsiodes from S1
He didn't say they weren't good scenes. He just said they kind of break the tension during the battle.
@@TheBlackestKnight21 Maybe because S1 is one of the best.
I would do anything to get the memories of this show out of my head just to watch it again
Watchers on the wall is the best episode.
Facts
Have you read a Song of 🧊 and 🔥?
Blackwater is the best but okay
Do you have the poster of Muhammed Ali and Sonny Liston in your bedroom
@@judephoenix I’m on asos right now.
Gotta be Kissed by Fire for me. Jaime's explanation of being misunderstood by the entire world is the best scene in GoT and reframes the story even further than Dead Ned's exit.
Jamie vs Ned fight should hav been longer 😭😭😭
3:46 I wouldn’t exactly call her “an innocent girl”….
She seemed pretty chill about helping them torture and unDickify Theon. 🤷♀️😆
that was another girl named Violet, she got pregnant and complained once to many to Ramsay so he killed her. Myranda recounts this to Sansa before her wedding. The girl they chase is called Tansy.
@@LetsTalkOnePiece Hmm. The more ya know.
the scientific term is de-dicking, actually
Actually that wasn't the same girl. The girl who helped torture Theon along with Myranda, was Violet who then got pregnant off screen and was killed by Ramsay.
Got a bit emotional remembering that the show was once good, my memory is just of the later trash.
Ugh the Tormund/Allister and Jon/Styr fights in Watchers are just brilliant. That whole episode is brilliant end to end. The scythe coming down the wall, Ygritte’s death, Aemon’s chat with Sam, Nag charging the gate, the conversation between Allister and Jon… it all just works on every level. And being able to see everything helped. And it did all of that in less than an hour.
10. The Lion and the Rose
9. Fire and Blood
8. Baelor
7. The Laws of Gods and Men
6. You Win or You Die
5. Kissed by Fire

The first four seasons of Game of Trones will forever be the greatest to exist.
I’m so glad someone is in agreement that WoTW is the best episode of the series. It’s been my favourite since it aired and that will never change. masterpiece.
Just curious: How many times have you watched GoT?
@@posthawk1393 think 4 or 5 times rewatched up to S6E10. I’ve only watched S7 twice. And I’ve never rewatched S8.
I didnt think anything of Roose not drinking. He also refused Jamie’s toast a few episodes before. I thought he just didnt drink
watching these scenes from the first 4 seasons was so nostalgic. the show felt authentic and so good. i miss this era
I just wished 6x10 (Winds of Winter) was in this list cause it's my favorite and for me one the best episodes of the TV history .
No episode after season 4 should be in a list like this.
If only WoW's entire run time was as good as the first 20 minutes...
yeah the winds of winter is the only episode past season 4 that i'd put in my top 10
Surprised there’s so many episodes from season 1 on here. Season 1 is great and sets up the show nicely, but for me Seasons 3 and 4 are on another level.
exactly he had wayyy to many S1 episodes because he clearly likes robert a lot lol
Dude those drunk cersei scenes in Blackwater are fantastic!
This 🙌
I gotta go with S6E9 Battle of the Bastards as my favorite. That whole battle was nothing short of epic. The cinematography decision to put us in Jon's POV in the pile of bodies made me feel so claustrophobic because it was so well done. Of course, the cherry on top of this glorious sundae was seeing the Stark banners back up in Winterfell and Ramsey getting eaten by his hounds while Sansa walks off with that satisfied grin. Such a rewarding episode that is highly re-watchable.
Only thing that ruins it for me is how silly it was that Sansa waited to the last minute to call the Army of the Vale.
@@davidkapelnikov8637 That's not how I remember the episode. She sent for the Vale well before the battle. Do you recall the scene with Robin Arryn trying to learn archery (trying is being generous lol) when the message from Sansa came in and Littlefinger nudged Robin to send their forces. They just didn't arrive until things were all but lost for Jon. Obviously for dramatic purposes.
Finally someone giving battle of the bastards some respect!
Too much plot armor tho
@@thebigjimmyd yeh and we dont want something purely for dramatic purposes. thats what makes the battle bad.
they make jon the underdog when he shouldve easily beat the boltons lmao
The best episodes from the first four seasons proves that they're the best seasons. And I'm sure once I get to the fifth book, it'll prove the point that the first four seasons are the good seasons. Also the only thing that did not diminish after season 4 was the score.
I've re-read the books like 4 times now. At this point just thinking about them makes me sad cause as a long-time mega fan of GoT and ASOIAF I keep reminding myself that I am very unlikely to see what happens next in book 6 and especially book 7.
So while I do recommend them, just be prepared for the emotional void after you finish book 5 and the released chapters of book 6, cause you're gonna be mega hyped and slowly disappointed.
@@thomaskoutsoukis8976 Noted. Also I know George R.R Martin hasn't finished series. But I needed something after the final season left a horrible scar. So I started healing it by starting to read the books towards the very end of last year.
@@thomaskoutsoukis8976 we'll probably see book 6 but book 7 is unlikely due to his age and all his "sideworks" :(
@@munyenyo7534 Hope we do...
@@munyenyo7534 yeah.
“Theon and Ros’ scene is all right”
I disagree, I’ve rewatched that one more than any other.
For some reason.
hmmm
Lol! Yeah, but Theon is definitely not as impressive as Hodor! 🤣🤣🤣 (S1, E8 The Pointy End: FYI it was a fake prosthetic the actor wore for modesty reasons...)
@@sharonpopolow6874 Theon wasn’t what I was looking at, but to each her/his own
😒🙄
There’s so many episodes from the first six seasons that are peak television
So glad to see the number 1 spot. This was truly my favorite episode, it’s always lived a spot in my heart
You gotta do the 10 worst decisions in game of thrones , like character decisions not the writers
That would cancel out nearly all the terrible decisions from Seaons 5-8 though, because those decisions were all terrible because the writing called for it.
#1 Bran not listening to Catelyn and climbing the tower
@@John-xr9ry Nah number 1 has gotta either be Ned directly confronting Cersei or Robb deciding to marry Talisa
@@domskillet5744, but Bran climbing the tower caused him to fall into a coma, leading to an assassin trying to kill him, leading to Catelyn going to king’s landing and discovering tyrion’s apparently the killer and capturing him, leading to jaime attacking ned when he was leaving for winterfell, which started the war of five kings
@@John-xr9ry Idk if you can call it a bad decision on Bran's part though, rather that's just extremely bad luck that Jamie and Cersei happened to be getting it on in the exact tower and at the same time he was climbing.
Watchers on the wall is my favorite too, Jon turning into the savage he was supposed to be is so great to watch. I kind of missed Hardhome because in this episode it is the only time next to Watchers on the wall where we see Jon being a Badass without Plot armour and it is the first time we see the Nightking and what he really is about to do and that this Is the major villain of the fucking show.
1. S6 ep 10 - winds of winter
2. S3 ep 9 - the reins of castemere
3. S6 ep 9 - battle of the bastards
4. S5 ep 8 - hardhome
5. S4 ep 10 - the children
6. S4 ep 9 - the watchers on the wall
7. S4 ep 6 - the laws of gods and men
8. S5 ep 10 - mothers mercy
9. S2 ep 9 - black water
10. S1 ep 9 - bealor
This is infinitely better than the list in the episode. It’s clear that he just wants to bash the post-books seasons as much as possible. Anyone who thinks S1E5 is better than hardhome or the last two episodes of S6 is out of their mind.
@@ldougherty1572 thank you! Just my opinion, but I completely agree , I don’t think the show lost its stride after season 4 like most fans do , honestly season 6 is my very favourite…. The highs were still just as good as ever on this show
@@spencergadoury I agree completely, and I'd even say that S6 easily has some of the highest highs of the show. I think S4 is probably a better season overall because of how consistent it is--every single scene, even the smallest dialogue scenes, is entertaining, but S6 is definitely a close second.
@@ldougherty1572 totally, season 4 is a masterpiece in every way as well, definitely my personal second favourite season. Amazing build up and the dialogue and writing are immaculate like you mentioned , so many good payoffs to arcs built up throughout the show as well. Seasons 3,4 and 6 are just incredible… I mean most of the show is , just disappointed how they rushed the last 2… rlly should have been 10 seasons IMO
Interesting it's the final or penultimate episodes
Ahh man when you say “Stannis, the one true king” and his photo pops up with sunglasses and fire I was rolling 😆 thanks for making so many great videos of a once great show
For me one of the best episodes is s6 ep10 The Winds Of Winter, so many interesting things in that episode
Cersei blowing up the sept with the epic bgm is one of the best tv scenes ever. Within a span of 10 mins we lost Pycelle, Margeary, Loras, The High Sparrow, Lancel Lannister, Mace Tyrell, King Tommen. Insanee
Then Arya killing off Walder Frey was one of the most satisfying deaths in the show
Jon’s true identity gets revealed.
Jon becoming King in the North was just epic shit.
And in the end we see Dany finally sailing to Westeros.
Blackwater - the drums, the music, the tyrion's speech, the explosion, the battle and determined Stannis who doesn't want to lose - this is my number one!
I must admit you also choosed great episodes to make this top 10 movie. Great job!
Stannis proved in that very moment, that he’s more of a King than Joffrey who ran to his bedroom.
just another thing to add to Roose at the Red Wedding. I think you’re supposed to immediately think something is off by this guy not drinking at a wedding, but then you think back to when he had captured Jamie and how he still didn’t take the wine then. So you assume this is just standard for him until you realize they somehow managed to perfectly get you to wither suspect him for not drinking wine or that they’ve reminded you that Roose let a super important Lannister go.
Really digging your videos. Very good analysis.
The mountain and the viper and the children (season 4 finale) are definitely up there too, same with Tyrion's trail episode, season 4 is the one. Battle of the Bastards and The winds of winter are also amazing.
season 8 episode 10 is the best ever.
I like that you used the Ancestor Deer’s theme, absolutely beautiful track
Came back to watch this again so I can fully appreciate the new one you posted earlier!
Battle of the Bastards will always be my number one episode. Daenerys burning the slave ships, Sansa executes Ramsey, Arya's epic kill of Walder Frey, Jon Snow's amazing battle with Ramsey, that episode has everything!
Jon mindlessly running towards ramsay, sansa not telling jon about little finger’s army for no fking reason,tyrion first failed plan (many more to come),rickon not zigzagging..Yeah the ep is great visually but its nowhere close to the first 40 episodes of the show
Arya's kill was in winds of winter I believe, which is my fav episode. people can knock on the later seasons all they want, but the end of season 6 (minus a couple nitpicks) was easily the best part of the show. winds of winter is literally nonstop classic moments.
@@mattbuchanan6412 I dunno man even by itself most of the hyped up moments in Winds just don't work due to how unnatural and contrived they are. Tyrion suddenly out of nowhere declaring that he believes Dany can bring prosperity to Westeros when in the previous episode he had to talk her down from destroying cities full of innocent people for no reason, Jon learning Mel murdered a child and deciding to give her a slap on the wrist as long as she only burns people in any of the other regions in Westeros...and Davos being completely fine with this, Benjen showing up as a deus ex machina to barely explain why he's been missing and then immediately fucking off cause the writers don't know what to do with him, the "epic" R+L=J reveal that has barely any relevancy to the stories being told and only serves to make Jon's history more convoluted and turn him into even more of a generic chosen one archetype than he already was.
That episode didn't make any sense.
S1-S6 were great. S7 & 8 are so dissapponting :(
I really like the episodes that conclude with the main characters being completely hopeless. The anticipation of "how are they going to turn this around" is sometimes better than the culmination. For example Season 6 if you watched it live you couldn't wait to see what happened next week on the next episode and you were glued to theory and prediction videos. Season 5 Episode 10 is my favorite. Stannis killed by the Boltons who are now firmly in power in the North, Cersei humiliated by the cult, Daenerys captured by the Dothraki, Jon killed by the Watch, Myrcella poisoned, Arya made blind, and the best scene of Theon throwing the woman off the balcony.
Oooof, that use of Elden Ring's music *chef's kiss*
Respect for using the soundtrack from Regal Ancestor Spirit boss fight in Elden Ring. Soundtrack is soooooo goood!
For me the Tyrion’s trial and Kissed by fire are probably my two favourites
No surprise this list has no episode after s4 and i love that 😁
Episode before the long night where everyone is just chilling knowing they’re all gonna die but just making light of it. Chefs kiss
Love it when you post positive game of thrones videos instead of focusing on the negative!
"The laws of gods and men" would definitely be in my top 10
The trial scene is incredible
1 winds of winter
2 mt and the viper
3 and now his watch has ended
4 the laws of gods and men
5 the lion and the rose
6 kissed by fire
7 rains of castamere
8 hardhome
9 dance of dragons
10 the long night
Based on how excited I got when I came to that episode when rewatching the series
I would argue "The Laws of Gods and Men," "The Winds of Winter," "The Battle of the Bastards," and "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" all have shouts to be on this list.
This was really great (though I personally missed a few episodes here). Your arguements were on point!I really look forward to your top-10 worst episodes! I imagine season 7 and 8 will be heavily represented, hahaha! ;)
I agree 100 percent with your number one. I’m honestly surprised that this episode doesn’t get takes about more. I feel like most people will refer to the battle of the bastards as the greatest GoT battle and always over look Watchers.
Only casuals liked battle of the bastards, it made zero sense from a tactical perspective and was utterly contrived. Great cinematography with no logic. All sizzle no steak
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy no, it’s a fictional show filled with fantasy elements and people looked way too hard into trying to critique it there’s a reason critiques and majority of fans like it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 idk why anyone was thinking ab all that dumb extra shit through jon being a badass 😂😂
I have some of the same episodes but also a lot of different ones in my personal list, while i like the bigger battle scenes i prefer conversation’s and monologue’s of characters there is nothing better than good writing. But also I’m shallow and i love episode’s that just look beautiful
Nothing shallow about the love of beauty
You have such good taste. What a great list.
I love the weird mix of tes, souls, witcher and thrones tunes
You missed the part from Blackwater when Stannis went full George Washington and became a bonafide Sigma
'Top 10 Worst GoT Episodes' is just gonna be a Season 8 Episode name recap🤣😩
This list is PERFECTION.
The Watchers on the Wall is my fave too... feels like a film at times so many amazing moments in the big battle. The look and soundtrack used is perfect
There are so many episodes that are amazing, which makes it difficult to create a list. But I’m sure on one thing: the best ones belong to the first 4 seasons.
The Ghost of Harrenhal will always be my favorite episode so it’s a little sad it didn’t make this top 10. My list is a tad different
10) The North Remembers
9) Baelor
8) The Wolf and the Lion
7) Battle of the Bastards
6) Kissed by Fire
5) The Rains of Castamere
4) Hardhome
3) The Lion and the Rose
2) Blackwater
1) The Ghost of Harrenhal
I hated that they cheaply killed off Renly
@@chscelebrity8325 He get what he deserved.
@@gfilmer7150 he was a cool character. If only him and Stannis teamed up to usurp.
@@chscelebrity8325 A. The Iron Throne was Stannis’. B. If Renly wasn’t crowned King, The Baratheons could’ve retaken it.
I love everything about this review.
One of the pleasures of watching this, is hearing select tracks from the show's soundtrack!
The scene with Grenn and saying the Night's Watch oath in the tunnels under Castle Black in 4x9 lives rent free in my head forever. Gives me goosebumps everytime and somehow makes you wish you were a Crow too
my top ten
10. winter is coming
9. you win or you die
8. the mountain and the viper
7. the children
6. the laws of god and men
5. baelor
4. the lion and the rose
3. blackwater
2. the watchers on the wall
1. the rains of castamere
Hardhome i think is my favorite episode ever. The tension, the sense of helplessness,etc are just so good for me
Great video thanks for sharing
A Golden Crown >>> The Wolf and the Lion
The pointy end >>> both of them
A Robert's Rebellion spin-off would actually go kind of crazy
We need one after Dumb and Dumber destroyed the image of the mighty House Baratheon
Bout to watch all of these in the order u put down in this video 🤙🏿
Nice touch with the Dark Souls title screen music at around the half way point
Cersei’s scenes during “Blackwater” were some of my favorite scenes in the show. I guess it really depends on who your favorite characters are. Cersei was one of my favorites, until the faith militant put her through the walk of shame and cut her hair. After that, her character changed, and she just became less human and more hateful. It was hard to connect with her after that.
It's interesting because I always hated her and the walk of shame was so satisfying. Mind you I read the books first, and the character is way less likeable in the book
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy I wholeheartedly agree. Cat Tully is far less likeable to me in the books as well. I sincerely wish I could read all of Book 6, because I view the later seasons as lazy fan fiction writing rather than capturing the spirit of the books and George Martin's world
10. 4x08 The Mountain and the viper
9. 4x02 The Lion and the rose
8. 4x10 The children
7. 3x05 Kissed by fire
6. 1x10 Fire and blood
5. 6x09 Battle of the bastards
4. 4x09 Watchers on the wall
3. 2x09 Blackwater
2. 6x10 The Winds of winter
1. 3x09 The Reins of castamere
Hard home is not eve here??
Lmao
@Khotun Khan hardhome is only good for its 1/3 . Its made worde by the fact that the walkers end up being loser villains that do nothing.
The red wedding the only scene in a show that actually made me tear up it was heartbreaking
Good list
Baelor>Battle of the Bastards
I m still getting goosebumps watching the video with the background music.
You put my favourite episode as number 1 THANKS
My top 5 are:
1. Blackwater
2. The Lion and the Rose
3. You Win or You Die
4. The Rains of Castemere
5. The Laws of Gods and Men
3:22 I always wondered what Jamie’s plan was if the guard didn’t intervene. He says to kill his guards but not him and in the book he leaves and doesnt fight
In the first Tywin scene where he's skinning a stag, Tywin asks Jaime why Ned is still alive, Jaime says that one of his boys intervened and that's why Ned didn't die - but Jaime also expressly said to leave Ned alive before the fight started
@@FidgetTheMidget8P HE wanted to kill him,but once he was injured it would not have been a fair fight, and in a weird way, Jamie is an honorable man
@@d22777 Ned also outright says "You kill me, your brothers a dead man"
@@vinnie245 I didnt say it was a good plan or a smart plan,but he wanted to beat and kill Ned in single combat(we are talking about the guy screwing his sister, you can't expect 100% tactical and logical thiking on this part :D
So glad to hear my favorite OST from Elden Ring in this video 😀 great choice
Thank you for reminding me how amazing GoT/ASOIAF is ! I tend to forget it with the last seasons and the wait for TWOW
