My Favorite Game of Thrones Scenes: #3 Daenerys Watches Her Brother Get Crowned

As we check off the weeks before GAME OF THRONES Season 5 premieres on April 12th, we’re having a hard time holding down our excitement. To keep that intensity going, I will be counting down my favorite scenes that the series has produced so far. Keep in mind these are “my favorite” scenes. Please share your favorites in the comments. Check the whole list here. From Season One, Episode Six: A Golden Crown This scene might showcase the inevitable and horrying death of Viserys (come on, this dude was never meant to perish from old age or being carried out on his shield on a battlefield) or the resolute judgment of Khal Drogo, but this scene is actually all about Daenerys. You have to remember that the only person that has consistently been by her side and her only link to her now dead family is her older brother Viserys. For a time, he was of great value to her. And then that shit changed quickly. Viserys had this coming like career criminals with “Born to Lose” tattoos on their chest go searching around for a bullet. He had pimped her out to the Khal for the purpose of using their army to take the Iron Throne. He miscalculated about 200 different things, but most importantly, that Dany would never grow into a strong woman with her own agency and goals and that the Dothraki gave a damn about him being one of the last Targaryans.

Daenerys had already had stand off with her brother before and stood tall, but you threaten her unborn child and disrespect the customs she’s adopted…
