[Spoilers] I successfully avoided spoilers before I finally binged the series

I just binged the whole series for the first time, and I had a few fun thoughts along the way. I had done a pretty good job about avoiding spoilers, so even the few things I knew would happen, I had no idea when or what to look for. Even after the actual Red Wedding, I was still waiting for something else, until one of the characters called it that. Even the trial by combat with the Mountain was mostly a surprise. I knew the mountain was going to win some big fight, but I wasn't sure if that was going to be it. In fact, I was hoping that wouldn't be it.

  • The people in Braavos that have never left have only seen the back of the guardian. I'm sure there are some superstitions in the slums about seeing the front.
  • I didn't realize Jason Momoa was in GoT until I started watching.
  • Sir Breanne "The Awkward" has a dorky smile... I can relate... being a tall strong woman myself :)
  • The Hound is one of the most pragmatic characters... probably chaotic neutral.
  • Arya's story was my favorite. I could watch a stand-alone movie about her adventures. I wonder if there's a supercut with just her story.

After finishing the series, I started looking for the content that I had avoided for years. I'm surprised that I haven't found anything talking about Danerys' slow turn into the Mad Queen. It's almost like nobody wants to believe that she did it, but I had seen flashes of it through the whole series. Maybe it was more obvious when binging it.
