Season 1 Ned ' s death was powerful , but my favorite moment was Tywin ' s first appearance , skinning that deer . Powerful entrance of a powerful character . It was what really got me hooked knowing that we only got introduced to such a great character after 6 episodes . I was like holy shit , what other surprises do they have for us ? Season 2 They ' ll bend the knee or be destroyed . Another powerful entrance to a new character we were dying to hear about . Season 3 Once again , Red Wedding was powerful , but I really loved Jaime ' s bathtub scene as well . Season 4 Tyrion ' s speech at the trial . Season 5 Night King raises the deadSeason 6 Night King crashes Bran ' s and 3 ER ' s party Hold the Door The show captured the Lannisters really well , even though I am House Stark through and through . And thanks to the performances of Peter , Charles , Nikolaj and Lena , and even Joffrey , which were all fantastic . A lot of my favorite scenes are with them even though the characters affiliated with House Stark have had some of the more importanttothestory kind of scenes that were really pivotal like Ned ' s death , the Red Wedding , Robb and Jon becoming KiTN , etc etc . And surprisingly or not , my favorite scenes from the last 2 seasons involved the Night King , a character with zero dialogue . I think I disliked the dialoguewriting in Season 56 so much that finally having a menacing character with none was actually refreshing for the show to have .
