Like I’ve posted numerous times before, I haven’t finished reading the books yet so I only have the show to go by. With that being said, I was scrolling through my RSS feed looking for new set photos and whatnot for you guys and I came across a post asking, ‘What moment got to you the most?’ What was funny about this was that I had no idea at first. Literally. The original poster said that the red wedding got to them the most and for very good reasons. >>I’ll post a link at the bottom for you to check out.<< But, for me, the red wedding was shocking (no doubt) but it didn’t make me burst into tears or freak out the way I have seen some people do….it just came as a really big shock that it actually happened. In fact, I think watching Robb’s wife die was more traumatic than Catelyn and Robb dying put together (but that’s just me).
The purple wedding got to me for obvious reasons. Watching your favorite character die not only gives you a sense of finality but you are really really upset about it. I’m going to miss him! -sigh-
However, another moment hit me twice as hard. Tyrion’s trial. Now that was an adventure! Not the good kind either. I found myself screaming at my computer (I livestream) because everyone was blatantly lying and it bugged the heck out of me. I’ll admit, Varys told the truth but in a way that screwed Tyrion over so I couldn’t get too mad but Cersei….and Shae…..oh man, I couldn’t control my anger. Cersei took everything that had happened or had been said and took it completely out of context and then there was Shae….I get it though. The position she was in was tough but it still hurt me so bad because Tyrion is one of my other favorite characters and watching her do that to him knowing how much he cared for her really hurt me. I was angry at first with her but I read other people’s opinions on the matter and I let it go. It made sense. Okay, I let it go up until the season finale when she openly attacked him…then I had no remorse for her. That struck me as odd. Did the Lannisters brainwash her? What happened? This was a cue for me to go and read the books (which I’m working on but I’m nowhere near there yet).
I don’t know, that is what bothered me the most. What about you guys? What moment got to you the most? What moment makes you tick? I’m really interested to know!
As promised, here is a link to the original poster explaining why the red wedding was so intense and you can even read other people’s as well! Enjoy!
