* Does anyone else find it creepy that in the opening titles, amidst all the beautiful clockwork intricacies of the different cities on the map, Harrenhal is a ''blackened, pulverized crater?'' Not having read the books yet, is it right to assume that absolutely nothing nice is going to go down at that place?

** The actual place was an impenetrable fortress that ended up burned by dragonfire. Hence, its representation on the map is a broken piece of clockwork where nothing works or moves.

*** Cersei has another one earlier, with her reason for having Ser Illyn with the women and children: ''they would not take any of them alive if the battle was lost.'' Who knows if the other women knew this already, but it sure frightened Sansa when she was told...

** Arya's plot has her watching people being tortured horribly by ingenius use of a rat, a bucket and a torch, ([[TruthInTelevision which actually was a real]] [[HumansAreBastards method of torture in the past]]) killed and having their heads hammered onto pikes for at ''least'' two days, all the while knowing she could very well be next. Many of the people she's with are watching their families receive this treatment.

* On a similar note, [[spoiler:Viserys]] finally getting [[spoiler:[[ExactWords his golden crown.]]]]
* Ser Gregor Clegane [[spoiler:cutting off the head of his horse in a temper tantrum]].
* In "A Golden Crown," [[spoiler:a group of wildings discuss how they'll head south in order to avoid the White Walkers. Implying that the wall may not be keeping everything out of Westeros...or won't be for much longer]]...
* In "Baelor," while we don't get to see anything, [[spoiler:the unearthly screaming noises coming out of Khal Drogo's tent as his life is "saved" through blood magic are more than a little chilling.]] Add in a litte FridgeHorror, it's clear from the way that the other characters are acting that only Dany can actually hear the sounds.
* The Sky Cells are a pretty frightening concept when you imagine what it must like being a prisoner there. There's no protection from the elements, and you could never sleep easily, always fearing that you would fall out of the window- not to mention the terrifying vertigo you'd have all the time. It seems like the ultimate point is to [[DrivenToSuicide drive prisoners to suicide]] and give them an easy means of accomplishing it.
* The massacre of Robert's bastards, including slitting a baby's throat, repeatedly pushing a boy into the ocean until he drowns, and torturing Gendry's boss by pushing his face into his own forge.
* We actually get to see hints of what happens to Craster's sons. It's not pretty.
* Littlefinger's pleasant little story about a whore he bought who was much too sad and how his losses were mitigated. It's as much what he doesn't say as what he does - nothing about his tone when he says "he wanted to transform her" suggests that the man who bought that poor girl was just going to turn her into Westeros's Next Top Model.
* In "Garden of Bones,"
** We find out that Joffrey is more interested in watching women forced to beat each other, possibly to death, than having sex.
