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.

The rest of the episode is rather depressing and won’t be talked about.
