Over the years, the series has delivered some of the most unforgettable moments in television history, leaving fans gasping for breath and reeling from the shock.
5. Toilet Murder
Yes, we're talking about Tyrion killing Tywin. The short Lannister was easily one of the favorite characters on the show, and his relationship with his father was very contentious.
Tyrion killed the Hand of the King with a crossbow while he was in the privy.
The scene was both satisfying and heartbreaking, as it marked the end of Tywin's reign as the most powerful man in Westeros.
4. No Longer a Swordsman
The scene where Jamie's hand was chopped off. Another Lannister was the show's resident bad boy, known for his arrogance and incestuous relationship with his sister Cersei.
In a shocking moment, he lost his arm while he was a prisoner.
The scene marked a turning point for Jamie's character, as he was forced to face the consequences of his actions and the limits of his physical abilities.
3. You Know Nothing...
The moment where Jon Snow is stabbed. He was one of the most popular characters, and his death at the end of season 5 was a shocking moment.
Fans had grown attached to the brooding bastard of Winterfell, and his murder by his own men was a betrayal that left viewers stunned. The scene left many wondering if Jon Snow was really dead (though now we know he was not).
2. The Keeper of the North's Death
Ned Stark's execution was a shocking end to the first season.
Fans had grown attached to the noble and honorable Lord of Winterfell, and his murder at the hands of King Joffrey was a gut-wrenching moment — the show was not afraid to kill off its main characters.
1. Hold. The. Door.
The scene where we learned the tragic backstory of Hodor, the simple-minded giant who has been a fan favorite since season 1.
In a heartbreaking twist, the Stark servant sacrificed himself to save Bran and Meera, holding the door against an army of wights as they escaped.
The scene left fans in tears and cemented Hodor's place in the pantheon of Game of Thrones characters.
The series was built on shock and surprise, leaving fans reeling from the emotional impact.
