10 Things You Learn Rewatching Game Of Thrones Season 1

4. Ned And Jon's Talk

The first time around, everyone just sees Ned talking to Jon Snow about a future discussion they'll have surrounding the identity of his mother. But that has proven to be one of the biggest 'so near, yet so far' moments in the entire history of the series. If Ned had just opened up on the spot, everything would've changed. Instead, the pair never saw each other again and the mystery lived on.

The most famous Game Of Thrones theory revolves around the identity of Jon's parents, and if the theory becomes fact (it could be confirmed or destroyed in Season 6) the entire show will flip on its head, with a new major player contesting to claim back the realm. 

Watching the scene again brings back a huge sense of 'JUST TELL HIM NOW.' One word would've changed the world.
