9. Killing The Baby

It’s established that death is a huge part of Game of Thrones, and most characters have no problem killing one another. But surely they wouldn’t go so far as to kill a baby, right?

Wrong. As Joffrey orders all of Robert Baratheon’s bastards to be rounded up and killed by the Gold Cloaks, we see Janos Slynt arrive at one of Littlefinger’s brothels, and off-camera he uses a knife to kill the infant bastard of Robert and the prostitute Mhaegen. Fans couldn’t believe that they would actually kill a baby, but it happened and showed there was nowhere they wouldn’t go.
