Least favorite plot lines?
I am currently on my 6th rewatch and I’ve read the first three books. I can’t stand the plot lines of Tyrion being taken to the Eyrie or honestly anything to do with “the night is dark and full of terrors.”
Honestly, I also hated reading Stannis chapters on the books.

The character of lord Varys doesn't make sense in season 8
He is shown to be enforcing his original principle of "I support only those who work for common people", that's why he was trying to poison Daenerys and sending letters about Jon being the rightful heir which was strictly against Daenerys wish. BUT he didn't do the same when he was in king's landing. Cersei, Joffrey and many others were harmful towards common people since long time, but he didn't kill them, he was living in harmony with them.
Daenerys was the one who accepted him into her council despite him coming directly from Lannisters, she trusted him, trusted his plans which even failed some times. But since she killed some enemy soldiers caught in battle who were anyway speaking against her, then she becomes so bad that Varys literally tried to poison her and he should be seen as a hero doing that. Doesn't make sense.
And i know most characters don't make sense anyway, but the case of Varys is special because he is otherwise shown to be a cunning and intelligent person.

In Defense of The Legendary Viper.
My favorite short-lived character in the show is Oberyn Martell. Pedro Pascal had such overwhelming charm, how could you not love him? And his character, even selfishly volunteering to be Tyrion's champion knowing who his opponent would be... brave indeed.
He backs it up by defeating The Mountain with virtual ease, a feat perhaps no other human alive could have claimed (prime Jaime perhaps?).
And by defeat, I mean defeat.
He spears The Mountain early on in their scuffle, in the lowest chest it appears, but not deeply and not fatally so (poison notwithstanding).
Then, he severs a tendon on The Mountain's right leg, this marks the inevitable end of this great beast of a man.
Finally, with sublime fervor he charges and plunges his entire poisoned spear deep into The Mountain's chest cavity, collapsing his lung and forcing him into total system shock. Almost every man alive is instantly dead. Anyone still clinging to this mortal coil is doing so in utter agony and barely able to lift their own head or arms at that point.
Oberyn, being an attuned world-class fighter, knows this. He knows he won.
So he beings his vengeance monologue, justifiably so, as the threat should be 0%.
Not 0.001%. Not 0.0000001%.
0% to infinite decimals.
And then the show kills him anyways by granting The Mountain, in essence, evil plot armor.
It's the first instance of the show succumbing to surprise that is unearned and unjustified.
I wouldn't exactly say Robb's death was "fair", but there was logic to it, he made his bed, made many errors, and didn't guard himself properly, and paid the price in a world with so little honor.
Oberyn did not. He deserved better. He was guarded. He only began his word quest when The Mountain should be guaranteed incapacitated.

How would Westeros respond to a greyscale outbreak at the beginning of the series?
Earlier drafts of the first book by Martin featured a plague as a prominent subplot, with said plague being theorised in-universe as the cause of Jon Arryn’s death before Ned uncovers the truth. Given that as of the latest book, Jon Connington - who is confirmed to be infected by greyscale - is headed to Westeros alongside Aegon and the Golden Company, fans have theorised that Winds will see Jon become the unwitting patient zero of a greyscale outbreak in Westeros, inspired by Martin’s scrapped plot concept. But this got me thinking - had Martin gone through with the plague idea happening around the time of the first season, with said plague being a greyscale epidemic, how do you see Westeros and the current lords at the time responding to this event?

Just watched the whole show for the first time. Wow
Also somehow completely avoided spoilers before watching. So i went in completely blind.
Started this year, have never got around to watch Got but decided to give it a shot.
The top moment in the show for me was the ending in ”the door”.
The story of Hodor and the reveal of why he was the way he was was litterary jaw dropping. Superb writing.
I almost stoped watching after the red wedding. And actually stopped for a week or two when they killed Jon Snow.
Great show, im happy I got around to watch it.

If Stannis did win the battle at blackwater how long could he have held the red keep and the Iron Throne, once the Lannister and Tyrell forces arrived.

Absolutely love this scene. It was always great when Tyrion and Cersei just talked like semi-regular siblings
