Game Of Thrones: 14 Things You Learn Rewatching Season 3

10. Qyburn Is Saved By Robb & Talisa

Game of Thrones Qyburn
HBO

Qyburn is now the loyal Hand of Queen Cersei, and a man well-known for meddling in things that ought not to be meddled with. He's so embedded in King's Landing and as part of Cersei's storyline that it's quite startling, perhaps even jarring, to rewatch Season 3 and remember how he came into the show.

When Robb Stark turns up at Harrenhal, he finds Qyburn injured but alive, with Talisa then tending to his wounds. It's unclear why he's there, but just the fact that it's Robb and Talisa who bring him into the story is big enough. From them saving him, he goes on to heal Jaime's wounds, reanimate the Mountain, and help Cersei destroy everyone in her path.
