After catching siblings Cersei and Jamie Lannister in the heat of passion, Bran gets pushed out the window by the latter. Jamie doesn’t even care how far the drop from the castle wall is. He just says, “The things I do for love.”

The penultimate episode of the first season saw our beloved Ned Stark — the protaganist of the series — lose his head. This would be just the first of many soul-crushing moments on this show.

While we thought this was the end for the silver-haired heir to the Iron Throne, Daenerys emerged stronger than ever and with dragons by her side!

After Robb Stark chooses to marry someone other than Walder Frey’s daughter, the old man ambushes the Stark family. He takes the lives of Robb, his mother Catelyn, his wife Talisa, and their unborn child in the bloodiest conclusion of a wedding we’ve ever seen.

Whether you like Theon Greyjoy or not — he did pretend to burn two Stark children alive after taking over Winterfell — he didn’t deserve to be castrated by the sadist Ramsay Bolton. Or to watch him eat a sausage right after.

Weddings are a bad omen on this show, so, when King Joffrey said “I do” to Margaery, it was bound to end in death. Fortunately for everyone, it was King Joffrey’s death. Even though it felt celebratory, it was still hard to watch his piercing blue eyes go cold as he took his very last breath.

The only man brave enough to take on The Mountain in hopes of saving Tyrion’s life in a trial by combat ends up having his skull crushed in by the Lannister protector. Chivalry didn’t pay in this scenario.

Jon Snow may not have been allowed to fall in love as a member of the Night’s Watch, but he did it anyway. That’s why watching his Wilding girlfriend get shot in the battle for the wall is so tragic.

Cersei holds her head up high as the people berate her with shouts of “shame” and other unsavory words during her naked walk through King’s Landing. It’s not the nudity that is the most shocking, though; it’s seeing Cersei vulnerable for the first time.

We’re still not over this shocking season 6 reveal when the origins behind Hodor’s name and condition were revealed. Hodor was actually the poor man’s cry of “Hold the door!” as he tried to escape the White Walkers who were looking for Bran.

Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres same time as the US on July 17 at 9am, exclusively on HBO (StarHub TV Ch 601), with a same day primetime encore at 9pm. Also available on HBO On Demand (StarHub Ch 602) and HBO on StarHub Go.
