13 Craziest Game Of Thrones Moments

It's stunningly under-discussed in the grand scheme of things, perhaps because it happened earlier in the series before it became the internet-breaking machine it is today, but the culling of babies in Season 2 is deplorable to watch.
Janos Slynt and his City Watch storm through the city wiping out Robert's illegitimate children, but when they approach one specific baby close up, you just assume it's going to be one of those Hollywood situations where a knight in shining armour swoops in to save the day, but no, Janos leans over and slashes the baby just off camera. It's a real sickener, and another crazy moment that's really quite difficult to swallow.
