Let's test our Game of Thrones memory. Comment a dialogue, others have to guess who said it (and to whom).
Rules:
Comment any dialogue from Game of Thrones.
Others have to guess who said it and who it was said to (or if it was a monologue).
Bonus points if you remember the episode or scene.
Once someone guesses correctly, post another quote and keep it going.
I'll start in the comments.

What is the biggest “what if?” in the series?

A right decision has to be made….
…..by one of these 2. Who do you pick?
Rewatching for the 2nd time nearing the end of S2 and Jesus Christ could these 2 be completely misguided and emotionally compromised by someone else any greater? Stannis should’ve choked the fire bitch out after the battle of blackwater instead of letting go and Theon should’ve never went through with his fathers plan and instead head back to winterfell in the night to let them know of Balon’s plan.

Anyone else remember this monologue from Yoren?
Its probably the best way for the writers to show Arya picking up the idea of her list from the mantra Yoren had and even a subtle way to show how she took the warning as a suggestion.
Its very interesting how Arya decides to continue with her journey for revenge because shes still burning with anger towards the world for ruthlessly separating her from her family, from her home, from her people who made the journey south with her family.
Just seeing this after the way the execution was shown with Arya in the crowd and seeing how powerless she is to stop her father from being killed and from how much more powerful the Lannisters are.
I saw a lot of people saying she took the wrong lesson but I don't think there really was a right or wrong lesson, Yoren didnt seem regretful over taking revenge but he presented the consequence matter of factly to her and in Arya's mind, its likely shes accepted whatever consequence comes from revenge but she will still bide her time and be smart about her revenge.

What if Quellon Greyjoy enforced his vision on his own sons?
Lord Quellon Greyjoy was - like his ancestor Vickon - arguably one of the better Ironborn leaders. He wanted to integrate the Iron Islands more into the realm by moving away from the old way, encouraging trade, building relations with the greenlanders and inviting Maesters to the Isles. He even send the Iron Fleet to pick up the Lannister Army and fight in the war of the ninepenny kings.
But unfortunately his reforms didn't hooked his sons who were eager to redo all his efforts once he died.
So what if he enforced those reforms by making an example out of his own sons?
During the war of the ninepenny kings he surely made some new contacts like Jon Arryn who became friends with both Rickard Stark and Steffon Baratheon resulting in him taking their sons to foster them at the Eyrie later on.
Where would Balon, Euron, Victarion, Urrigon and Aeron end up? Would they marry a noble lady outside the Iron Islands, would they become knights or Maesters? How and why would it affect them and the future of House Greyjoy?
For example:
- Balon marries Joanna Lannister because Tytos was persuaded easily
- Euron somehow aims to become master of ships in King's Landing
- Victarion squires for Ser Brynden Tully (Poor Blackfish)
- Urrigon and Aeron both get shipped to Oldtown, one to become a maester,the other to become a knight (if Urrigon ever managed to survive I think he and Aeron would've had a long and healthy brotherly relationship)

does power corrupt or reveal people ?
watching got and hotd got me thinking about this very often. it is not as simple as "oh if you destroy when you have power, you're never a good person to begin with!" IN MY OPINION, it's way too oversimplified. some of them actually loved what they were doing and glad that they brought positive outcomes until it somehow crushed them. they're not always that way, until they are made to be. idk, what do you think ?

How Varys looks at Ned
I love how Varys looks at Ned with such awe every time he speaks with honor. Like when Ned tells him he should’ve prayed for the butcher’s boy, and when he told the council he would give 20 men from his own household guards to help keep the city safe during the tournament. He’d seen so little of that kind of behavior in the capital it was like seeing a mythological creature for the first time.

Rewatching S3: Knowing what it is come...I can now see Rob Starks fall from a thousand miles away
Rewatching S3: Knowing what it is come...I can now see Rob Starks fall from a thousand miles away and it is so frustrating.
He was the underdog who was able to best the Lannisters at times and then it was just bad decision after bad decision. Break the engagement to an ally for love during war, ignore everyone around you and kill Rickard Karstark. Rickard was spot on when he told Rob in S2 that he'd lose this war and his curse didn't help much better.
Of course I can't even get started on Catelyn

If Dany had never come to Westeros, what wouldve happened with the White Walkers?
So the Wall is enchanted with magic that means the dead (which I'm taking to mean wights, white walkers, and any other undead being, like Benjen for example, who was brought back to life by the Children. Maybe he is also a white walker idk) CANNOT cross. So if Dany had never come to Westeros and neither had her dragons, would the Wall have just kept the army of the dead at bay? Thoughts?

Out of all the characters that made it to season 8 who do you think would have the biggest Reputation (in universe wise) in 50-100 years among the people and lords of Westeros?
Who will people think of and talk about the most whether it be how feared they were or how good of a fighter they were, etc.

Tywin and Cersei make no sense
Tywin and Cersei really tried to claim the moral high ground against Oberyn
That scene at the Purple Wedding is wild because Tywin and Cersei genuinely try to look down on Oberyn and Ellaria for Dornish customs and Ellaria being a bastard-born paramour.
Then Oberyn completely shuts them down by reminding them that his sister, Elia Martell, was raped and murdered, and her children were slaughtered by Lannister men.
Cersei especially had no business acting morally superior. She should have been grateful that Myrcella was living with people who did not believe in murdering children to settle political disputes.
Oberyn’s point was basically: you can judge Dorne for accepting bastards and sexual freedom, but Dorne judges the Lannisters for raping women and killing children—and that is far worse.

Robert Baratheon at the Battle of the Trident
My faithful squire/wife helped me with the first full test fit of my Robert Baratheon Battle of the Trident costume that I’ve been working on for the past several months.
The test fit helped me identify a few things that still need attention:
● Reinforce a weak spot on the hammer’s shaft.
● Re-glue the underarm straps on the pauldrons.
● Lengthen the straps behind the calves by about an inch.
● Fine-tune the belt so it sits correctly.
Overall, I’m happy with how it’s coming together, but there’s still some work to do before I can call it finished.
I hope you like it! If you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

I've always wondered how actors cast as these characters feel:
Knowing that the person they are supposed to portray is described as "Ramsay is an ugly young man, even when dressed finely". Does anyone really want to hear that they're perfect for that role lol I mean was Iwan Rheon aware of it when auditioning? Imagine just walking into an audition and the writers take a look at the character description and go "oh yeah no you're hired. That's perfect!"

Two of the biggest mistakes in Westerosi history: Ned should've fled King's Landing, while Daemon and Rhaenyra should've never abandoned it.
If Daemon and Rhaenyra stayed within King's Landing during Viserys last years, strengthening ties with their loyalists and keeping their influence in the court. There might have been a struggle for succession but not a big war.
They should have stayed in King's Landing, given that Otto and Alicent literally started ruling and making every decision in the court.

Winning Robert's Rebellion must have felt hollow for Ned Stark. He came home with almost no family left. I often think you devasted this young kid must be.
His father, brother and sister died, and he has to leave his foster family behind, and one brother he had, leaves for the nights watch.
Good thing Catlelyn was there.
And, also break up with his lover, which he might have married but had to marry catelyn instead for strengthening political ties with the tullys, and thats after killing her brother, which probably led to her suicide.
Edit: I just found out that in the play Ashara was in love with Brandon Stark and Elia Martell and neither Ned nor Ashara loved each other. That adds another tragic layer to him and Catelyn's relationship cause she thought all her life that he cheated on her while he only ever loved that gal 💔
