** King Robert's weapon, which he used to kill Prince Rhaegar Targaryen to become king.
** Jon briefly uses a smith's hammer as an ImprovisedWeapon in "The Watchers on the Wall".
** [[HeroicBastard Gendry]] takes after his father in this regard, and has his time as a blacksmith to back it up.

* DiedInIgnorance: [[spoiler:A lot of people die without discovering who Jon Snow's mother is when it could have substantially changed things for them; namely, that he wasn't Ned Stark's bastard son, but the legitimate son of Ned's sister Lyanna and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. (Lyanna also wasn't kidnapped by Rhaegar, but willingly eloped with him).]]
** [[spoiler:Maester Aemon died believing he and Daenerys were the last Targaryens, despairing that Daenerys believed herself to be without family and he couldn't reach her. Aemon never knew that Jon, with whom he had formed a close, grandfatherly relationship, was actually a Targaryen too.]]
** [[spoiler:Ned's wife Catelyn dies not knowing that her husband was never unfaithful to her and that [[AffairBlameTheBastard her resentment for Jon]] was misplaced.]]
** [[spoiler:Jon's uncle Viserys Targaryen spent most of his life, right up until his death, banging on about being the "rightful king" of the Seven Kingdoms (despite being [[TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone utterly unfit]] for the position). It becomes even more ironic when it turns out Viserys was never even the true Targaryen heir in the first place, as Jon was ahead of him in the line of succession.]]
** [[spoiler:Robert Baratheon died believing that the only good thing he ever had going for him was his betrothed Lyanna and that Rhaegar took her away from him. It turns out that Lyanna didn't even return his love and willingly ran off with Rhaegar. Robert also never knew his best friend had hidden Lyanna and Rhaegar's son from him, which was for the best given Robert vowed to wipe out all the Targaryens.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Catelyn Stark's MamaBear tendencies sometimes drive her to rash actions.
*** She arrests Tyrion for the attempted murder of her son because she was told the assassin used his dagger, but is stumped when Tyrion asks the obvious question of who would be dumb enough to arm an assassin with their own blade.
*** Although Jaime was in mortal danger and Catelyn couldn't trust anyone else, the odds of Brienne successfully escorting Jaime through a war zone, conducting a prisoner exchange, and returning with two girls without backup were ''very'' low.
** Balon Greyjoy's main flaw as a ruler. He first rebelled on the assumption that Robert had not reconciled with his former enemies, but by making himself a [[GenghisGambit threat to all]] he brought ruin on himself and strengthened Robert's regime. In Season 2, he proves he hasn't learned his lesson and tries the same thing again and although he is more successful this time it only lasts until the other factions actually turn their attention toward him in Season 4.
** This is Lady Olenna's appraisal of Renly Baratheon's bid for the throne since he had no legitimacy. Granted, it's in the Tyrells' interest to speak this way when they are supporting those who consider Renly a usurper.
** Cersei decides that it's best to not keep Tommen informed on anything as King, leaving him LockedOutOfTheLoop. Naturally, he's forced to put his trust in the one person who actually tells him anything, the High Sparrow, so he puts the power of the Throne behind the Faith Militant and before she knows it, Cersei is making a walk of shame.
** [[spoiler:Brienne]] embarks on a quest to protect the Stark girls with a Lannister-customized sword, a Westerlands squire, and a southern accent. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong

* DaylightHorror: The Battle of King's Landing (Season 8, Episode 5) happens in broad daylight, which makes the carnage on the streets and the damage inflicted by the dragon all the more horrible. The fact that the ashes are so thick, they turn a sunny day into near darkness doesn't help.

** [[spoiler:By the end, ''Game of Thrones'' proves to be one of the most fundamentally hopeless worlds ever put to television. There are no great heroes, no real triumphs over evil, the world-ending force that most of the story had centered around is supplanted by the evils that mortal men can accomplish, all of the suffering the characters endure is ultimately shown to be not worth it, and finally, the [[JerkassGod the "god"]] of this world is literally so apathetic it doesn't even construct an afterlife for its believers or ChosenOne. ''Game of Thrones'' is a world where no one wins.]]

** Like in the [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire books]], the Boltons suffer (or rather, enjoy) from ChronicBackstabbingDisorder. They are associated with knives thanks to their house's tradition of FlayingAlive, not to mention Ramsay's affinity for it. His father Roose [[spoiler: stabs Robb Stark at the Red Wedding and takes over Winterfell and the North... until [[{{Parricide}} Ramsay stabs HIM.]]]]
** In a slight change from source material, ''Tyene'', not Nymeria, is the Snake Sand who prefers knives. In a fight, she slashes Bronn with a poisoned dagger, flashes her breasts at him to accelerate his heartbeat (i.e. accelerating the poison's effect), and gives him the antidote only when he agrees to proclaim her the most beautiful woman he's seen.
** Arya Stark first learns to wield a RoyalRapier, but when House Stark is ruined and she [[ChildSoldiers enters training]] as an assassin, she becomes a skilled knife fighter. She uses daggers both to execute covert attacks and to [[WeakButSkilled outmanoeuvre]] more powerful opponents, best demonstrated when she kills [[spoiler:the [[HumanoidAbomination Night King]]]] with a bit of fancy knifework.
