Game of Thrones/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* Dany's silver, Drogo's wedding gift to her, dying of thirst.

* After Tyrion makes a crack about the rumors of her affair with Jamie, Cersei responds that he's always been funny, starting with when their mother died giving birth to him. Tyrion's face after that is heartbreaking. Also the audience realizes she's hated him for that ever since.

'''Cersei:''' Mother gone. All for the sake of you. There's no bigger joke in the world than that. }}

* {{spoiler|Dany comforting Irri after Rhakaro's death.}} Sad on a couple of levels; {{spoiler|firstly because he was a genuinely likeable character and it was gutting to have him die so horribly, but also because Irri's reaction confirms what many viewers suspected but was never shown on screen - they were in love.}}

** It gets worse when you realize that a lot of what Loras is feeling is not just {{spoiler|grief}} but also ''guilt''. After all, who was the one who talked Renly into making a bid for the Iron Throne?

* Ser Jorah coming very close to admitting to Dany that he loves her, and they now both know how he feels about her for sure.

* Myrcella, a completely innocent pawn stuck in the middle of the power plays around her, crying as she's shipped off to Dorne as a glorified hostage.

** Not to mention Tommen sobbing as the only sibling who cares about him is sent away. [[Kick the Dog|And Joffrey mocks him for it.]]

** The worst part of that entire scene was Rickon sobbing while Bran frantically begs Theon for mercy. Bran has just yielded Winterfell to Theon to keep his people safe, and is then forced to watch as one of his family's most loyal knights is brutally killed.

** {{spoiler|Ser Rodrick choosing to [[Face Death with Dignity]],}} as well as his final words to Bran:

*** And then his final words to Theon:

** And of course, the parallels to 'Baelor' and {{spoiler|Ned's death. The older Stark child, screaming and begging someone they'd once trusted and loved not to murder a father figure, while the younger Stark is being shielded from watching}}.

** The look on Theon's face as he builds up to it. He's so obviously, blatantly torn between his loyalty to his family and these people he really does care about, and he's struggling to bring himself to do it...and then {{spoiler|after he takes Rodrick's head}}, he just ''[[My God, What Have I Done?|stares]]''.
