My Favorite Game of Thrones Scenes: Bonus – Never Send a Boy when you Have a Blackfish

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 Three, Episode Three: Walk of Punishment So, I felt a little bad that almost all my favorite scenes were from the first season, even though Season two or four might be my favorite from Thrones. Another scene I can’t really use, but that is definitely in my Top 5, is the one between Theon and Yara Greyjoy when she comes to Winterfell to convince him to abandon the castle and save his own life, but I’ve talked about that in another column. But yo, are there really a shortage of great Game of Thrones scenes?

As a bonus I offer you the opening scene of “Walk of Punishment” and the funeral of Hoster Tully, Catelyn Stark’s father. We never knew Hoster and he was a dying man when the series begins, so the real significance is showing the rest of House Tully and their hierarchy. Like most houses, the line of power is pre-determined by lineage, not by aptitude or ability. Since Hoster was the Lord of House Tully, his death leaves his only son, Edmure (the youngest of Lysa and Catelyn) to become the new Lord, but this scene shows how woefully unprepared he is to inherit that title.
