* 'QueerEstablishingMoment:
** The Season 1 episode, "The Wolf and the Lion", doesn't give you much information about Ser Loras Tyrell and Renly Baratheon as a couple at first unless one rewatches the tourney scene where Loras offers a rose to Sansa but he looks at Renly who is sitting at the back. After a few more scenes, you get both Loras and Renly ''shirtless'' because the former is shaving the latter's chest hair while talking about the succession on the Iron Throne. Loras convinces Renly that he should be king and then he gives him oral sex.
** The Season 4 premiere episode, "Two Swords", establishes both Prince Oberyn Martell and his paramour Ellaria Sand as bisexual where they are checking out some prostitutes in Littlefinger's brothel. Ellaria rejects one prostitute that Oberyn is interested in because she's timid. But she prefers the next one who Ellaria describes as mischievous, and then Oberyn orders Olyvar, who is in charge of the brothel, to stay and take off his clothes before he gropes him.

** Karl Tanner spits in Jon Snow's face to [[CombatPragmatist throw him off]] during their duel. Learning from this, Jon spits blood in the face of Styr of the Thenns to gain enough time to grab an [[ImprovisedWeapon improvised]] [[DropTheHammer weapon]].

** Ned Stark is [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage happily married]] to auburn-haired Catelyn Tully and their daughter Sansa (who takes after her mother) is regarded as very attractive.

* RealMenLoveJesus:
** Ned is a devout follower of the Gods of the First Men and Children of the Forest, though he is religiously tolerant, a tough swordsman and initially a powerful lord. His wife Catelyn is a devotee of the Faith of the Seven, and their children were raised in both faiths, with their son Robb marrying Talisa before a Septon despite being King in the North, and Sansa being initially strong in the Faith of the Seven.
** R'hllor has many badass worshippers, including Thoros of Myr (who's also his priest), the Brotherhood Without Banners (they're all hardened, skilled fighters) and Stannis Baratheon, a powerful lord who's among the main claimants to the Iron Throne during the War of the Five Kings.



** Loras' ornate armour, clothing, and accessories always have a floral pattern. {{Justified}}, since his House sigil is a rose, but he's still seen as being over-the-top about it, and is known as "the Knight of Flowers"

Stockholm Syndrome is a disambiguation


* StockholmSyndrome:
** The early part of Daenerys' marriage consist mostly of rape by a beast of a man whom she fears, but after a while she embraces his culture and comes to love him and his people. By the time he threatens to RapePillageAndBurn the realm of those who tried to assassinate her, she seems aroused by the idea. It doesn't take entirely though, since she's repulsed by seeing the ''actual'' rape, pillage, and burn.
** Ramsay Snow has perfected the art of instilling this into his captives.
-->'''Ramsay:''' Do you love me Reek?\\
'''Theon/"Reek":''' Yes, of course, my lord.
** The High Sparrow does this to people. He has King Tommen politically trapped, but his patient and avuncular personality wins Tommen over into thinking of him as a beloved authority figure. Margaery acts this way, but she's just faking it and warns her grandmother Olenna to flee the city for fear of the High Sparrow's machinations. Loras, for his part, seems to have been broken under torture and welcomes the High Sparrow's judgment.

** Ned Stark, in [[JustForPun stark]] contrast to [[BloodKnight Robert]], who misses war and his glory days. Best shown in ''Lord Snow'', where Ned watches Arya practicing fencing with Syrio Forel with a wooden sword, only to have his amused expression slowly turns grim as he's gradually reminded of the hell of war, apparently hearing the distant sound of swords clashing and men dying instead of the wooden sounds of his daughter's fencing.

* StoppedDeadInTheirTracks: In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS2E3WhatIsDeadMayNeverDie What Is Dead May Never Die]]" Theon calls his father out for handing him over to the Starks as a child, and accusing him of becoming weak due to his "time with the wolves" upon Theon's return.
-->'''Theon:''' You act as if I volunteered to go. You gave me away, if you remember, the day you bent the knee to Robert Baratheon [[CurbStompBattle after he crushed you]]! [[IronicEcho Did you take what was yours then]]?!\\
''([[PunchedAcrossTheRoom Balon backhands Theon]] and starts to walk away, scowling.)''\\
'''Theon:''' [[ParentalAbandonment You gave me away!]] Your boy! Your last boy! ''(Balon halts)'' You gave me away like I was some dog you didn't want anymore, and now you curse me because I've come home!
::Balon looks a little guilty, as if he thinks his son has ''something'' of a point...just not enough to change his mind, and walks off.

Following Jaime Lannister's arrest on his way to Dorne, Jaime is escorted by guards to speak with Prince Doran. When Doran brings Jaime a tray of food, Jaime quips if this is his last meal before he's beheaded, but Doran assures him he won't kill him, as he does not want to start a war.

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: There are many examples of men in power due to their birth who are (or were) still fearsome fighters.
** Tyrion even [[JustifiedTrope justifies]] this by noting that the social elite get much better equipment and lifelong training.
** Ned chooses to be modest about it, but he can match the prodigious Jaime Lannister and even LivingLegend Barristan Selmy speaks highly of him.
** Jon discovers that as the son of a lord, he can easily outmatch his lowborn fellow recruits because they barely know which end of a sword to hold, whereas Jon has been receiving training from a knight alongside his brother Robb since they were old enough to hold a sword.
** Stannis personally leads his army's assault in "Blackwater" and fights like a OneManArmy.
** [[BoisterousBruiser Greatjon Umber]] initially doubts Robb has this trait, but becomes one of his staunchest supports and the first to [[spoiler:acclaim him king]] after he proves his mettle.

* RequestForPrivacy:
** King Robert trusts Ned Stark to the point that he gives his most important commands when nobody is looking around, presumably because he takes for granted that his subjects won't question his decision even without witnesses. He names Ned his Hand in the Crypts of Winterfell halfway through [[Recap/GameOfThronesS1E1WinterIsComing the pilot]] and, a few episodes and a HuntingAccident later in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS1E7YouWinOrYouDie You Win or You Die]]", he asks him to write down his will before kicking the bucket. This proves to be the downfall of both characters: Robert's wife exploits the lack of witnesses to tear "Ned's shield" in pieces and arrest Ned before he would have told the truth about her children's real heritage.
** In the episode "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS1E9Baelor Baelor]]", Catelyn Stark meets with Lord Walder Frey to discuss an alliance with her son Robb's army. Initially, the discussion is held in front of the incredibly large Frey family, with several of his descendants attempting to butt in. Catelyn requests to talk to Lord Frey only, and he orders the rest of his family to leave, who immediately hurry out of the room.

Playing Gertrude is now a disambiguation and these belong on the Trivia page


* PlayingGertrude:
** Creator/JamesCosmo is only thirteen years older than Creator/IainGlen, who plays his son. It is possible that Jeor fathered Jorah ''really'' young, though.
** Creator/HafthorJuliusBjornsson is not even 30. It's little trouble to believe him as the ''older'' Clegane brother, despite that Creator/RoryMcCann is nearing 50. It helps that they don't share any scenes until Gregor's transformation, where his face isn't very visible. To be fair, [[TheGiant body type]] was much more of a priority than age when it came to casting.
** Hodor is supposed to be older than Ned, yet Kristian Nairn is sixteen years younger than Creator/SeanBean.
** Arya mentions in Season 7 that Sansa is younger than Lyanna Mormont during the events of the first season. Sansa was 13, matching Creator/SophieTurner's age during production of Season 1, while Creator/BellaRamsey entered the series during Season 6 at 11-12, and Stannis' dialogue in Season 5 explicitly states that Lyanna is the same age as her actress.
** The season 6 flashbacks with younger Ned are supposed to take place about 18 years before the events of season 1 (since they feature [[spoiler:the birth of Jon]]). However, Robert Aramayo, the actor who played Ned in the flashbacks was 23 when those scenes were shot, while Creator/SeanBean was 51 during the production of season 1.
** Creator/PilouAsbaek, the actor who plays Euron Greyjoy, is a year ''younger'' than Creator/GemmaWhelan, his onscreen niece, and 37 years younger than Creator/PatrickMalahide, his onscreen brother. This can be justified as an artifact of Euron's book counterpart being supernaturally young.

** In "What Is Dead May Never Die," Renly tells Brienne that he will "pray alone" in his tent. In his next scene, Renly is making out with Loras, his "object of worship," so to speak.
** In "Kissed by Fire," Olyvar tells Loras, "I should like to see you spar with a proper partner, ser." They end up "sparring" in Loras' bed shortly afterwards.
