Ah, so many great moments. It's a shame the quality dipped so dramatically later on because it was truly a 10/10 for quite some time.

This is the bathhouse scene between Jaime and Brienne.

At this point Jaime's lost his hand and really started opening up to Brienne. He had admitted to the reasoning behind killing the Mad King a couple times prior to this- once to Bobby B and Barristan Selmy and then to Qyburn- but this whole monologue has so much more emotion.

I particularly like when he talks about how Ned Stark had judged him guilty the moment he laid eyes on him in the throne room. "By what right does the wolf judge the lion?" Kind of harkens back to an earlier spiel of Jaime's in which he talks about all the oaths you're sworn to as a knight and how it's basically impossible to honor them all without forsaking another.

This one is Oberyn visiting Tyrion pre-trial telling him he'll be his champion.

I like this one because it starts off pretty ordinarily. Oberyn starts off the conversation with a story about visiting Casterly Rock as a child and being disappointed with actually seeing Tyrion for the first time. He was promised a monster and only saw a baby. It's hilarious because here's Oberyn Martell, one of the Lannister's most dangerous enemies, and he's basically the only person in the country who treats Tyrion like an actual human being.

Moreover, I hadn't read the books at this point so I had no idea where this visit was going. He switches gears after Tyrion claims "If you're looking for justice, you've come to the wrong place". Oberyn disagrees, says he's come to the perfect place.. Idk, something about the conviction when he says he's basically about to **** everything up starting with The Mountain. Cool moment, even if it doesn't really work out as intended.

This is the third name scene with Jaqen H'ghar.

Basically, Jaqen has killed a couple people for Arya and is demanding she give him the final name. She finesses him by naming himself in order to get his help in escaping Harrenhal. It's more funny than anything. He gets so distraught when he hears his own name. "Unname me".. "NO".. "Please". Then she agrees to unname him and the look of relief on his face is hilarious.

I like all of the scenes with Jaqen in Harrenhal. He was mysterious and suave. His badassness stood out which is saying a lot in a show with guys like Khal Drogo and Oberyn Martell. He wasn't nearly as intriguing in the House of Black and White.
