We start our series in the far north of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, at the 700-foot tall frozen barrier known simply as the Wall. Three rangers of the Night's Watch--Wil, Gared and the knight Ser Waymar Royce--have been sent [[Grim Up North|beyond the Wall]] to track a band of wildlings that have committed recent raids and ambushes. Wil is the one to find the wildlings... already dead, their body parts spread in a circle. Even worse, by the time Wil gets the rest of his party there, said body parts have [[It Was Here, I Swear|gotten up and wandered off]]. As the rangers head back for the Wall, [[Shrouded in Myth|shadowy figures of legend]], the White Walkers, show up and begin the slaughter anew...
Line 41 ⟶ 51:
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Jaime is Tyrion's cool older brother. He brings him a present and the present is whores.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]] / [[Light Is Not Good]]: The Lannisters are a trio of golden-haired siblings. Tyrion, the nicest of them, has dwarfism and is referred to as "the Imp." His tall, beautiful siblings are considerably less pleasant than he is.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Not a lot of it, considering the series had an established arc to follow, but some of the looks for the characters are pretty different from their more established looks later on. (One reviewer who had gone back to the first episode after the fourth season finale referred to Tyrion's hair as "his boyband phase".)
* [[First Episode Spoiler]]: {{spoiler|Jaime and Cersei [[Twincest|entertain an incestuous relationship]]. Bran finds out and is pushed out of a high window by Jaime.}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Daenerys doesn't notice how hot her bath is.
