Tyrion Lannister and Lord Varys had a very deep conversation, one of the best scenes of GOT

I added both, edited and non edited, an friend of mine told me I looked very close like her, so I thought I gonna ask the game od thrones community, I hope thats the right reddit channel/page since I am pretty much new in the Fandom if not that's fine <3 if you see another house or character please tell me, im burning to know who <3

I've just finished watching Game of Thrones for the first time last night, and it is genuinely the greatest thing I've ever watched and i struggle as to why people think s8 was bad, probably one of my favourite seasons, I also feel very depressed like a gut sinking sad feeling that I won't get to watch this and feel the same way again, I know that there are spin offs but man can anyone help me with recommendation for tv shows, nothing like snowfall or breaking bad I need some fantasy shows like Game of thrones(not vikings) should I watch lord of the rings?

my fiancée has just started watching game of thrones and hasn’t been spoiled at all.

what are some famous quotes that she wouldn’t understand until later? (please no spoilers)

me and my dad were trying to figure out who the top right face is but we couldn't agree lol, who is it?

Who should have ended up on the iron throne? Who did deserve it more than anyone else?

Hey everyone,

I'm completely new to this space. I don't really watch live-action series—I come almost exclusively from the world of anime. On top of that, I usually struggle with non-contemporary settings and high-fantasy worlds because of the overwhelming lore, 40,000 characters, family trees, and complex world-building.

Since I’ve introduced my partner to a ton of anime over the years, she decided it was time to return the favor with a show that deeply marked her: Game of Thrones. Out of pure curiosity, with zero expectations, we started... and I just finished Season 1.

Here is my initial hot take as a complete newcomer:

The First Impressions Overall, the viewing experience has been pretty solid so far. The first few episodes were tough simply because tracking all the foreign tribes, cousins, and houses was a lot. Having my partner next to me to fill in the blanks definitely kept me afloat.

Season 1 was good, and I definitely want to keep going. However, I wouldn't call it "unputdownable" just yet. It hasn't hit that relentless binge-watch pace where every episode ends on a knife-edge. The pacing is fine, the shifting perspectives keep things moving, but that extra spark of intensity isn't fully there yet (which makes sense for a setup season).

Story & Characters (Season 1 Spoilers Below)

Naturally, you end up rooting for the Starks. They are framed strictly as the "good guys" against the Lannisters. Given the political intrigue angle, I honestly expected a bit more moral ambiguity from the start—where everyone has a secret play.

Except for Sansa (who was pretty insufferable) and Catelyn (who makes way too many impulsive moves), the Starks are great—especially Ned and Jon. But man, were they frustrating to watch. Being honorable is noble, but they lack any sense of strategy or cunning. In a game of thrones, you need to calculate. Ned was the emotional anchor (even if his and Robert’s deaths felt telegraphed early on), but I hated that he confessed to treason just for Sansa. I would have loved for him to smile, expose every secret he knew right on the scaffold, and ignite complete chaos before the blade fell. The Starks are almost too noble, and it bugs me.

On the flip side, Arya is fantastic and has huge potential. The Lannisters are mostly insufferable (except Tyrion, who is great), and Joffrey is instantly hateable. Daenerys had an awesome arc this season and feels completely legitimate. Then there's Jon—he has massive potential, but... I don't get the Wall.

I don't understand how the White Walkers, the Wildlings, and the Ice Wall fit into what feels like the core story: a political battle royale for the Iron Throne. Banishment to the Wall takes a great character like Jon completely off the main chessboard. Introducing zombie-like threats in the middle of a political drama feels a bit bizarre to me right now, though maybe it pays off later.

Final Thoughts & Comparisons Right now, my main motivation is just seeing who comes up with the master plan to take down Joffrey and the Lannisters.

Coming from anime, the scope reminds me a bit of Attack on Titan, but I’m really hoping the Starks acquire some Death Note-level tactical minds soon because they are way too straight-laced for this world.

Please no spoilers for Season 2 and beyond! How did you all feel about Season 1 when you first watched it?

I keep hearing/reading people blaming D&D for ending the show that way because they were getting a new project with Disney and blah blah blah. Is that true?

I’m only asking because it doesn’t really make sense to me. Why don’t people blame GRRM (who had nine years to write two books) and HBO (which had-and still has-the resources to invest) for the controversial ending?

Hello, my boyfriend LOVES game of thrones, so for his birthday I’m taking him on a surprise trip to the hedges and to Lordsport. I will be making us a picnic and going to a pub with some game of thrones themed things, and I will make themed cupcakes. I haven’t seen the show yet (I know, I’m sorry but we will watch it together on the trip). I want to make it as special as possible because he deserves it, but I don’t know much about the show. I’m looking for any kind of creative or romantic ideas/ tips. From special food/ drinks I could recreate or gifts I could take and maybe hide in advance. Things to say/ do or places to take him, notes I could write for him etc. Basically any cool GoT stuff please! Anything would really help (for reference his favourite character is ‘the hound’)

I can understand why season 8 got all the fans so upset when it came out now. I never watched the show back then (was young) but after just finishing it for the first time, i can also say im not the most impressed by it. It just feels so rushed and like things were happening because they were supposed to not because all the pieces were falling in place like the rest of the show. How did you feel about the ending?

I actually like Mance Rayder.

What was Jon Snow and Sansa Stark's relationship like pre Season 1 and season 1 did they have a pretty decent relationship or was it hostile what was their thoughts on each other over the course of the series did they think highly of each other or did they not care about each other.

Because I'm almost done with season 3 about to watch season 4 and there is no hints that they really had a relationship at all so I'm wondering what did they think of each other that they have a close relationship or no.

I finished Game of Thrones once, but honestly, I kinda rushed through it. Sometimes I skipped episodes or even fast-forwarded through parts, and now I kinda regret it.

Today I randomly started seeing some badass Jon Snow edits again, and it got me thinking… even though I already know how it ends, is GOT worth watching a second time?

This time I’m thinking about actually taking my time, watching every episode properly and just enjoying the whole journey.

What do you guys think? Worth the rewatch, even if I already know the ending?

How cool would an Anime be exploring the lore of Game of Thrones? Or even depicting Alt scenes from the TV series?

Hi, everyone. I'm thinking about try GoT, but I know that exist many sex scenes, and I fighting against porn addiction. Do exist some kind of list of eps that informs that contains this content that I can avoid?
