Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode Nine | The Rains of Castamere

This is long overdue. I was putting it off because 1. I was finishing up Misfits and 2. It’s such an emotional episode.

But thankfully, there are quite a few special moments strewn throughout, so it was fairly easy to pick two.

The first one is when Gilly tells Sam he is a wizard. If you remember back to Season One, Sam tells Jon that he wishes he were a wizard/that he always wanted to be a wizard, so it’s definitely a sweet, endearing moment.

The second is when Talisa suggests naming their child Eddard if it were a boy. The first time I saw this episode, I choked up at this part. Of course, right after that, Talisa is stabbed in her womb, causing both herself and her baby to die. So, it’s very bittersweet, but one of my favorite moments of the episode all the same. 

Honorable mentions go to Rickon saying goodbye to Bran (and, well, the last time we even see Rickon until Ramsay kills him), and Roose Bolton, Troll Extraordinaire.

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Four Episode One | Two Swords

We have finally made it to season four.

My favorite season.

And I know this is a total cop-out because it’s technically not a part of the episode itself

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode Ten | Mhysa

Ramsay eating is probably one of my most favorite things ever. It makes my heart soar. He’s just so happy and content while he is eating...I could feed him for days. And I could talk about how cute he is when he eats for hours at a time. I just love it.

So while this entire scene is sexy as hell and Reek is officially born, Ramsay eating will always turn me on the most. :D

Oh shit I almost forgot--this is the episode where we actually finally find out who the fuck Ramsay is. 

“But Ramsay...well...Ramsay has his own way of doing things.”

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode Three | Walk of Punishment

Every episode that has Ramsay in it, the favorite moment from those particular episodes will involve...Ramsay. Just a heads up and fair warning for everyone. ;)

So this episode in the Ramsay plotline features Theon trying to get back to the Iron Islands but as we all know, Ramsay likes to fuck around so he sends more men after him, then pretends to be nice by shooting them all down and “rescuing” Theon.

It involves some really yummy shots of Ramsay riding a horse and expertly using a bow and arrow. ;)

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode Seven | The Bear and the Maiden Fair

“Would you say it’s your most precious part?”

“This is mercy! I’m not killing you...just making a few alterations.”

What’s not to love about this part?! Oh, yeah...Theon gets castrated.

But, that’s such a minor detail, though, compared to Ramsay’s sexiness. *bites lip*

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode Four | And Now His Watch Has Ended

Ramsay: Put him back where he belongs

So this is the episode where Ramsay begins to show his true nature.

I remember the first time I saw this episode, I was so fucking confused. I was like...wait, what just happened? Did he...? Who? Is this...? Huh??

All I knew was hm, this innocent little dude is bad now.

Only after I watched for a second and third time did I understand that yes, this was all done on purpose to fuck with Theon’s head, yes, Ramsay loves to play games with people, and yes, Ramsay is a fucking psychological genius. 

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode Eight | Second Sons

This moment is not exactly a ‘favorite’ because it reflects something good or fun, rather, it’s one of those moments that hits home in a personal way.

Sansa is forced into a marriage with Tyrion, and although neither of them want it, for Sansa it is a moment of true despair and you can see it so painfully reflected in her eyes and her body language.

Sansa is a lot like me in that we both dreamed of a fairy tale, happily ever after wedding since we were little girls. That’s what we had grown up seeing and what we were exposed to, so that’s what our expectations naturally were. But Sansa is shown the harsh reality that life doesn’t always work out that way.

I, too, struggle with the same feelings and realizations. All that I ever wanted for the majority of my life was to see myself get married to that one person, my soulmate, my one true love. After trying so, so hard at so many failed relationships and sacrificing so much of myself to people who didn’t deserve it, well, I have tossed that prospect aside entirely. 

So, it’s not something I long for or want for myself anymore. And, most of the time I‘m okay with that. But, sometimes it still hurts when there are constant reminders that marriage is still, for the most part, what society expects and demands, especially from women. 

Favorite Moment of Every Episode | Season Three Episode One | Valar Dohaeris

We made it to season three! :D

My favorite moment of the season premiere is when Sansa and Shae are sitting at the docks of King’s Landing and imagining what all the ships are carrying and where they are going. Sansa’s predictions are fanciful, while Shae’s are practical and more realistic. Sansa scolds Shae and tells her she needs to think of a story for each ship.

Sansa: The truth is either terrible, or boring.

And I relate to this so much. Except I would substitute ‘the truth’ for ‘reality,’ but the context still applies. Sansa is saying that imagination is better than reality. And, that’s how I live. Every single day. I would say that a good 70% of my life is spent inside of my own head. And I’m not ashamed to admit that, because my imagination, what I am able to give myself, is 110% better than anything adult life has to offer. I know that sounds cynical, but that’s how I feel, especially since Lucy died. When she died, a large part of me left with her.
