Game Of Thrones: The Worst Episode From Every Season
8. Season One - Lord Snow
These first few entries are going to be a lot trickier than the latter half of the show, as, all things considered, Game of Thrones really did feel like a perfect saga when it got jump-started. Season One sewed all the seeds for Westeros by introducing the characters and giving us a taste of what was to come, and there was only one outing that lagged behind a little.
In "Lord Snow", each character gets a chance to adjust to their new lives. Jon begins his training at the Night's Watch and attempts to make friends. The Starks arrive in King's Landing, and Dany gets into a conflict with her brother Viserys and discovers she is pregnant (talk about a busy day).
It's hardly what you can call a bad episode, but it does suffer from needing to introduce a tonne of new characters and generally lacking in a spicy narrative. It feels like a transitional episode, and in the first season's high-ranking repertoire, that makes it stick out like a sore thumb. It's only good, as opposed to great.
