The final season of Game Of Thrones is starting in April. Between now and then I want to rewatch all 67 episodes of it's 7 seasons so far. Spoilers & thoughts that won't mean a thing to you if you don't watch it. Here we go. Episode 1. Winter Is Coming.
Oh god I feel cold just watching this.
Wait?? White walkers appear already? How has it taken them seven years to get to the wall?
I've all this forgotten.
Dismemberment and decapitation in the first 5 minutes. Fuckin hell they don't spare us.
Ah jesus. The title sequence and sound still gets me.
Seeing the Starks altogether as a family is actually upsetting when you know what the future has in store for them.
Ahhh look at the baba heads on Arya, Bran and Sansa.
Arya is a bad motherfucker straight off the bat. She rocks.
Sean Bean should be in everything. Like, here as Ned Stark he executes a dude and you feel badly for him not the bloke minus his ceann.
There's Theon. Back when he was still a cocky fella. Geddit?.....ah forget it.
Baba Dire wolves. Yup Ned, I wouldnt be able to leave them either.
Ah yes, the Jon Arryn story. I never really got all this stuff. Hopefully this rewatch will sort that.
And we get our first Cersei and Jaime scene. Man I hate Jaime. Mega-gowl.
I'd genuinely forgotten Catelyn Stark existed. And my memories of the Red Wedding have just come rushing back at me. Wahh :(
Brandon climbing all over Winterfell. Poor Bran. The little climbing eejit.
So Sansa was always six foot tall then? Fair enough.
Joffrey. I fuckin hate Joffrey.
The Hound! Everyone is appearing so early.
Yer man from the Full Monty is the king!!
Lovely moment between him and Ned. Feels nice and genuine.
I love Cersei. If she wins all at the end I wont be disappointed. Even if she is a complete bastard.
Gratuitous nudity klaxon courtesy of Ros. And our introduction to Tyrion. The little hornball.
Daenerys yay!! Viserys boo!! I forgot how weird the brother sister relationships are in this show.
There's Aquaman and the Dothraki.
Jesus he's giving his future wife a quare dirty look.
Stop pimping out your sister you blondey shitebag.
Ya. Sansa was a sap. Imagine fancying Joffrey.
Benjen. Poor Benjen. Appears once and disappears for 5 years.
Baby faced Jon Snow. Why the hell would anyone want to go to the wall and take the black??
The beginning of a beautiful friendship between a bastard and a dwarf delivers us some much needed exposition and sets up two character's motivations perfectly. Nice economical writing.
Robb Stark. What a complete non entity.
A letter from Catelyn Stark's freaky sister. Another one gone from my brain until now. *shudder*
Dothraki weddings look scarier than Tipperary weddings. Less blood at this one though.
More boobs. Did the producer's have a quota they had to fill for this episode?
No one expects intestines at a wedding reception do they?
Ser Jorah Mormont in the house. A great character. I assumed he didn't show up for ages yet. And he's carrying dragon eggs. Uh-oh.
Daenerys' wedding night is not a pleasant scene to watch.
Bran, you should have listened to your mother. If you had you wouldn't have to bear witness to incest and then get horsed out a window. This scene is why I hate Jaime. I'm baffled as to how anyone can like him.
What a first episode. So much takes place. A dozen or more characters introduced to us. The main storyline laid out. It's mad. 67 episodes later it's this storyline we find ourselves back at. Well more or less.
Brilliant stuff. That aged well. More please.
Next up : The Kingsroad
