10 Unintentionally Funny Moments In Game Of Thrones
6. Bran And Jamie's Reunion
After Jamie pushed Bran out of a window in the very first episode, fans had eagerly anticipated the moment that the pair would reunite.
Such a scene should have been an emotive one, and to a certain extent it was. The music was spot on, and Jamie’s reaction was a great piece of acting from Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Bran’s reaction, on the other hand, tarnished the scene.
It would be unfair to criticise Isaac Hempstead-Wright, because the real problem was the showrunners' handling of Bran’s character. After becoming the Three-Eyed Raven, he lost all his charm and charisma. Consequently, in contrast to Jamie’s expression of guilt and sadness, Bran’s deadpan stare unfortunately came across as comedic rather than dramatic.
As misjudged as this scene was, it was redeemed somewhat due to Bran and Jamie’s conversation at the Godswood of Winterfell in the following episode.
