The red wedding is still one of the most shocking betrayals in tv history

[Salzgard]

Littlefinger betraying anyone shouldn't surprise anyone

“The writers are tired. See them to their chambers.”

Ellaria betraying and murdering Doran Martell and his son should have been on the list

"If I had stabbed him in the belly, instead of the back ... would you respect me more?"

I love Jamie, he is my second favorite Lanister!

[batgurrl]

Great list. I totally forgot about Varys being roasted. Dany’s command was subdued. John Snow Vs Ygrette was so heartbreaking- you know nothing John Snow. I actually enjoyed that snake Littlefinger and the moon door. Tyrion Vs Shae who he loved was tragic, The Saddest scene was sweet Shireen pleading for her life as she’s burning at the stake.

You forgot Sansa'a betrayal of Jon. She reveale the secret about his identity despite making an oath not to reveal it, and she started the conspiracy because she wanted to take Jon's place as King in the North.

Stannis burning sheen is the most heart breaking scene in a TV series.

I never understood, nor liked, the bull ish with Arya and the Faceless men. Before Arya and Jaqn H'gar part ways in Westeros, Jaqn told Arya to go with him so she can offer the names on her list to the many faced God. But when she kills 1 of the people on her list they punish her. They make them out like they are some mysterious group, when they are just hitmen like many others. They kill for Gold period

Lord Edmure Tully's betrayal of his people and Uncle (The Blackfish) when he opened the gate.

[popetv]

When Littlefinger got betrayed by Starks. That was the most epic scene I've ever seeb

[celticpoet]

In spite of his "treachery", Lord Varys deserved way better!

[LightninSnow]

At a certain point there is no more *shocking* betrayals in this show. I start to expect it to happen every episode 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[sabarikumarsiva]

The last season itself must top this list! I'm still not over that shit!

[kristinc]

I just watched game of thrones and finished it for the first time about two months ago. Since I was super behind on the times I really appreciate watchmojo is still coming with the new fresh GOT content 🙌🏻

Varys: Have you considered the best ruler is one who doesn’t want to?

*looks at Aegon the Usurper nervously*

[BeastfromthesoutheasT]

The most shocking betrayal was giving the bad ass night king battle only 1 episode...

[xxthesarcasm]

Arya went west, Jon went north, Drogon went east and the show went south.

[triforceninja]

I don’t get why Jamie isn’t considered a hero for killing the mad king. Ending the life of a cruel tyrant should be considered a heroic act. Why is he seen as a lesser man for killing the mad king?
