Now for the actual list:
10. Viserys' Death (Season 1 Episode 6 "The Golden Crown") - Viserys was the first major character death in the entire series, and boy was it memorable. As Khal Drogo said, he got a "crown for a king"...well, a king like him, at least.
9. Dany's visit to the House of the Undying (Season 2 Episode 10 "Valar Morghulis") - This was a truly awesome moment for Dany, showing that she truly is the "Mother of Dragons." We also get a nice moment where she reunites with Drogo and their unborn child, which was truly touching. Although it would have been cool to see visions of the future like she does in the books, what we got was good enough to make the list.
8. Jaime recounts when he killed the Mad King (Season 3 Episode 5 "Kissed By Fire") - This was a true character defining moment for Jaime. After getting his hand chopped off, Jaime tells Brienne how he killed the Mad King to save the lives of his father and the people of King's Landing. It was a truly great scene and Nikolaj Coster Waldau's acting sells it.
7. The Death of Joffrey (Season 4 Episode 2 "The Lion and The Rose") - This is the moment that EVERYONE was waiting for, book readers and TV viewers alike, and boy did it deliver. Joffrey had every moment of this coming, and when he choked to death on a combination of poison and his own blood, I'm sure people across the world, both in-universe and out, were leaping up and celebrating. Sadly, however, this little twat's absence is greatly felt.
6. The Battle of Blackwater (Season 2 Episode 9 "Blackwater") - This is the first of the many epic battles that take place in Game of Thrones and it is a true spectacle to behold. From the moment the scene pictured above happens, you know all Hell would break loose, and it sure did. This battle would have made the Top 5 if not for...
5. The Battle of Hardhome (Season 5 Episode 8 "Hardhome") - Here is a moment that not even book readers expected. This battle was truly epic and made for a major turning point in the series as it made the point clear that winter had come.
4. The Red Wedding (Season 3 Episode 9 "The Rains of Castamere") - This was a moment that was completely shocking and unexpected. NO ONE IS SAFE on this show, and this moment proved that.
3. Tyrion Kills Tywin (Season 4 Episode 10 "The Children") - This was a game changer not for just Tyrion, but for everyone else as well. Although Tywin had it coming, his death has certainly cast a dark cloud on King's Landing, and things are only going to get worse. Although this scene left out a few key details from the books, what we got was truly great in its own right and had some great performances from both Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance.
2. The Death of Jon Snow (Season 5 Episode 10 "Mother's Mercy") - All I have to say is that I hope he comes back, because the world's gonna need him soon.
And now my favorite moment in all of "Game of Thrones" is...
1. Ned's Death (Season 1 Episode 9 "Baelor") - Who expected this to happen, I'm sure no one. This was the main character, and they killed him off in the FIRST SEASON!!! Like the Red Wedding, this moment proved that NO ONE IS SAFE and that Game of Thrones is no ordinary show. All in all, a shocking, amazing moment of Game of Thrones.
Well, that's a wrap for this list, guys.
