Game of Thrones Season 5: 10 Most Shocking Moments So Far
10. Rockabye Bye Baby
Game Of Thrones wasted no time shedding a little red this year, with the first character death taking all of fifteen minutes to arrive.
The first clothing was shed in the same scene as, fresh from overseeing the hauling down of an enormous gold harpy from the top of Mereen’s Great Pyramid (and standing way too close to its final destination), an Unsullied visits a brothel. Normally in this show you know where that sort of thing’s headed, but his kind are ill equipped to indulge in the Seven Kingdoms’ favourite pastime.
Or should that be ‘second favourite pastime’?
The Unsullied manages something virtually unheard of in any previous episode by telling his chosen lady of the night she doesn’t need to take off her clothes, then settles on the bed for some spooning and a gentle lullaby. It’s all rather sweet and wholesome, right up to the point where a Sons of the Harpy member whips a blade across his throat.
Welcome back, Game Of Thrones. It’s been a while.
