9 Most Important Deaths In Game Of Thrones
Death is only the beginning.
Season 1 of Game Of Thrones set up two ideas vital and intrinsic to the show; nobody is safe from dying and every death has a ripple effect on the world of ice and fire.
Since episode one there have been scores of people shuffling off this mortal coil and some of them even did the shuffling of their own accord. It is true that death is a part of life and there is no other show on television today that illustrates this as well.
Some deaths stand apart from the rest as catalysts for chain reactions of events and some set a new president for the surviving characters still playing the deadliest game. Fantasy is all about world building and death is instant history, providing the basis for existing relationships.
Its easy to forget why all of this mayhem is happening, but many factors in this medieval sh*t storm can be traced back to a few key deaths. Some of them will have resonated deeply with you, some will have horrified and some may not even be on your radar, but you need to be aware of all the sacrificed pieces to understand peoples gambits.
Here are the most important deaths from the first five seasons. All men must die, but timing is everything. A man knows this.
