16 important Game of Thrones details you missed

«Game of Thrones"Is considered one of the most detailed and intricate series in the world. Secrets are contained in almost every scene, and this fact makes fans frantically search for missing details in the episodes that will help build a single picture and predict the development of the plot. In the first seasons, fans could rely on books, already knowing many twists and turns and important events in advance.

The creators could not put up with this and tried not to blindly follow the original, but to refresh the plot with some ideas. Now that the writers have exhausted the material of all the books, and the series has begun to develop by itself, then its further events are a mystery covered in darkness. With each fresh trailer or interview, theorists are looking for any tiny hints that can at least slightly open the veil of secrecy. Some, on the other hand, look back for missing details that may provide answers to some of the riddles. This list has both.

Eagerly grabbing crumbs of new information, we go back in time and try to collect all the pieces of the puzzle. Sometimes this is the only way to pay attention to details that previously seemed insignificant. Some of them will be of enormous importance, some will not. Such things do "Game of Thrones"Truly phenomenal. Fans watch all the seasons of the series more than once, each time refreshing their memories. Thanks to this influence, "Game of Thrones"Has the potential to be widely recognized as the best television show the world has ever seen. Here are 16 important points we missed looking at “Game of Thrones". Also take a look at the article 10 of the most explicit scenes from "The game of thrones".

16. Second Coming of Azor Ahai


Fans wondered for a long time who would be the reborn Azor Ahai. Many characters fit the role of the Lord of Light warrior, but none is as good as Jon Snow. In the sixth season, it became known that his mother was Lyanna Stark, and the possible father was Rhaegar Targaryen. In this episode, the camera illuminated a bloody Lightsaber forged from a fallen star leaning against the bed (note the Sun on the handle, which is essentially a star).

This is the scene of John's birth, which fully corresponds to the prophecy of Azor Ahai about “the promised prince", which the "born under a blood star". Lianna's words are also important: “Promise me Ned, promise", similar to "the prince promised in the prophecies?". You might be interested in the article 10 Best Game of Thrones Episodes.

15. How did Varys get to Meereen so quickly?


How cosmically fast Varys arrived on Daenerys' boat in the season six finale can only be explained by a leap in time, or a miracle of the space-time continuum. But everything is much simpler: Varys talked with Olena Tyrrel in Highgarden, and then so suddenly ended up on Daenerys' ship in Meereen, because it was not Meeren at all, but Dorn.

The Dragonmother's fleet was near Dorn. Also, observant fans noticed that not all ships have the flags of the Kraken (the symbol of the House of Greyjoy), some of them have the flags of the Martells from Dorn and Tyrells from Hoegaarden. Presumably, the two fleets encountered Daenerys' ships en route to Westeros.

14. Arya's speech


In the second season, Arya serves Tywin Lannister incognito. At some point, she calls him “lord", To which he replies:"Girls of your origin say "my lord", if you decide to stoop to a commoner, do it right».

So he showed that he was aware of the fact of her pretense, but was not interested in the reason. In the sixth season, Arya serves Walder Frey and then slits his throat after repeatedly using the word "my lord"This shows that she has returned to her roots and can again proudly wear the title of noble girl.

13. Wood carving


Now only the lazy does not know about the theory of Rhaegar + Lianna = John. There is one point that indicates that it was possible to think about it back in the first season: during the conversation between John and Samwell Tarly about John not knowing his mother, the initials "R" (Rhaegar) and " L "(Lianna), if you really want to, you can also distinguish" J "(John). The creators seemed to have hinted at these family ties from the very beginning.

12. The Curse of Robert Baratheon


Robert Baratheon's curse theory has every right to exist if no Stark dies again. Here's the thing: every Stark that Robert has interacted with in some way dies a tragic death or suffers misfortune. After visiting the Starks for the first time, Robert hugs Ned and Kat - both die, then rubs Rickon's head and shakes Robb's hand - similarly, both die.

He does not bother anyone else, but communicates with Sansa, Arya and assures Bran that he will become a soldier. He comments on the appearance of Sansa, whose beauty soon brought the girl many problems in life, both with men and women. Also check out our 10 Most Epic Game of Thrones Deaths.

11. Traitor John


You may have missed this moment, considering it a pun or vague symbolism, but this is to some extent an important episode of John's period of service to the Night's Watch. Most fans believed that John was not doomed to eternal service, and his watch was intended simply to show viewers the events on the Wall and beyond. When the Ravens first meet the wildlings, Mance orders John to remove the Night's Watch and gives him a lamb's wool cape.

For this they christened him a traitor. The bottom line is that John could never figure out who he really was.: Stark or warrior of the Night's Watch, that is, a wolf or a raven. In this sense, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

10. Surrounded by Starks


The moment when Robb Stark and his council are sitting around a map of this amazing world with no less amazing marks on it, the whole action looks like the development of a plan for a large-scale war. We see the Lannister lions and Tyrell roses on one side and the Stark wolves, the skinned Bolton men and the Frey towers on the other.

However, in these seemingly insignificant markings, you can see something sinister if you recall further events, such as the alliance of the Frees and Boltons with the Lannisters. This moment seemed to have been predicted: the Starks are surrounded and driven into the middle by an alliance of the most dangerous conspirators.

9. John hears the Ghost


In some cases, the books are at odds with the episodes, so the fact that the Ghost Dog makes sounds on the show is not entirely insane. John's dog is albino and different from the rest, we hear him growl and howl. From both the book and the script, John found puppies that none of the Starks could hear. "Can't you hear?"- John wondered. This indicates his telepathic connection with the Ghost and confirms the extremely close connection between the Starks and their animals.

8. Margaery and Sparrows


Another small but significant moment is hidden in season four when Margaery and her grandmother, Olenna Tyrell, discuss necklaces. Olenna orders the servants to pick up the wedding jewelry, to which Margaery says that it makes sense to give Joffrey a choice, who is able to offer a decoration in the form of a sparrow's head.

In the sixth season, Margaery confronts His Sparrow and the Sparrow Guild, who are soon killed by Cersei. This means that Margaery's statement about the sparrow's heads foreshadowed her confrontation with Cersei.

7. Sirio and the Tramp


Fans have become attached to Sirio since the first season and have been expecting him to reappear on the series. Game of Thrones Golden Rule: if it was not visible how someone died, then it was not.Dance and martial arts teacher Sirio did not die before our eyes, the last thing we saw was how the Braavosian orders Arya to flee and detains the royal guard.

After which she accidentally meets another Braavosian - Jaqen Khgar. Many fans have tied the characters: they are both from Braavos, both fighters, etc. In the sixth season, evidence surfaced confirming the connection: when the Tramp attacks the blind Arya, he uses the same fighting technique as Sirio, that is, girls, it is likely , there was one teacher. Does this mean that Sirio was one of the images of the Many-Faced?

6. Tristan Martell becomes the symbol of his coat of arms


Tristan Martell's presence on the show was short-lived, but still important. The son of Prince Doran Martell, who was engaged to Myrcella Baratheon, daughter of Cersei, was full of hopes to become a member of the elite of King's Landing, but fate decreed otherwise, and the Sand Snakes poisoned Myrcella, and Tristan was pierced with a spear, after which his head became remarkably similar to the image of the Martell coat of arms.

5. Arya and the walk of the rich


At the beginning of the sixth season, Tyrion and Varys stroll the streets of Meereen. Varys remarks that Tyrion walks like “rich man". The striking features of such a gait are straight posture and hands folded behind the back. Later that season, Arya returns to Westeros with the same manner of walking, symbolizing the restoration of her inner and outer noble status.

4. Poisonous blade


Oberyn Martell's fighting style is well documented in the books. These skills are mentioned in the show, but not so abundantly. He is very talented in battle and loves to rub poison on his weapons. We know the outcome of his battle with Mountain, but during the battle, Horus looked rather tired.

What was the reason for this: loss of energy or bodily injuries caused by Oberin? Before the battle, there was a moment when Oberin's squire was polishing his weapons, and this definitely has some meaning, but whether he used the poison or not is, alas, not known for certain.

3. Dog of the Royal Guard


In the second season “kind and decentJoffrey orders his men to beat and humiliate Sansa. When Merrin Trant strikes her and tears her clothes, Tyrion stops this chaos, and the Dog covers the girl with his Royal Guard cloak.

This is interesting because after that, the Dog leaves Joffrey, unable to endure his terrible antics. In fact, by throwing a white cloak over Sansa's shoulders, the Dog left the Royal Guard as well. It is very symbolic.

2. Rickon and arrows


It will be a little sad here. This symbolic association is more of an accident than an important point, but it is still interesting. In the very first scene where the audience meets the Stark family, Bran is practicing archery while his brothers watch. When Bran misses, Rickon chuckles at the failure.

Later, after Arya demonstrates her great marksmanship skills, Rickon runs to the target and collects the arrows, gives them to John, and walks back to the target. This can be interpreted as an omen of the death of Rickon, who first runs with arrows to John, and after a while runs away from Ramsey's arrows. Coincidence or not, the association is pretty depressing.

1. Horn of Winter


In the books, the Horn of Joramun (or Horn of Winter) is of great importance, but it was not missed in the series either. First, information appears that there is a Horn capable of destroying the Wall. It was rumored that the Wildlings found it, and after being defeated by the Crows, Melisandre discovered the artifact and set it on fire. Then it was reported that the Wildlings hadn't touched it, and the only other Horn that was known to be the one that Ghost, Sam and John found north of the Wall.

John notices that the find is damaged and gives it to Sam, since the main interest in the treasure was due to Dragon Glass, thanks to which everyone calmly forgot about the Horn. Although no such information has been received, it is hoped that Sam will read about the Horn in Oldtown and even restore it. In any case, this important detail should somehow manifest itself in the future.
