Random Important Things You Forgot Happened on Game of Thrones (25 items)

(#2) It's All Littlefinger's Fault

For four seasons, viewers believed that the Lannisters had murdered Jon Arryn, King Robert's Hand before Ned and Lysa Arryn's husband. But in this WTF moment in Season 4, Lysa lovingly recounted her conspiracy with Littlefinger. It turned out that Littlefinger urged Lysa to poison her own husband, then write a letter to Catelyn Stark saying the Lannisters did it! So really, Littlefinger instigated the suspicion that would boil into war between the Lannisters and the Starks. Slimy creep.
(#7) Jaime Saved Brienne From Getting Raped

While Brienne was taking Jaime back to King's Landing on Catelyn Stark's orders, they were captured by Locke and his band of Bolton mercenaries. Being mercenaries, with no dignified witnesses, they started to take advantage of Brienne, even though she put up a big fight. Jaime convinced Locke that she could be a valuable cash-in if delivered unharmed. Viewers later learned that Tarth is in fact not rich in sapphires, so Jaime lied to save Brienne.
(#11) Brienne Acquired An Admirer

In one of the many welcome comedic moments of Season 6, Tormund got a bad case of love at first sight for Brienne. He tried to catch her attention throughout the season, devouring her with his eyes as hungrily as he devoured the piece of meat he ate. She didn't seem too interested and was maybe even a bit creeped out, but sometimes love can blossom in the strangest places. With Bronn also expressing his attraction in crude terms at the siege of Riverrun, it appeared that those in Westeros finally saw what fans have seen all along - Brienne is a boss.
(#1) Bran's Visions Started To Fill In The Gaps Of Jon Snow's History

Ever since Game of Thrones was just a book, Jon Snow's mysterious history has been one of the hottest topics of fan speculation. After years of discussion, fans seem to be getting closer and closer to discerning how Jon's past will play into his future. However, it was only in Bran's visions of Ned Stark's past that a concrete picture began to emerge. With help from the Three-Eyed Raven, Bran experienced Jon's birth, Lyanna's death, and an inaudible secret exchanged between Lyanna and her beloved brother Ned. You better believe that fans already have theories about that one, too.
(#17) Olyvar Screwed Everybody

Remember this totally twisted arrangement of marriages that got going in Season 3? Well, the reason it kicked off is because the Lannisters discovered that Olenna was planning to marry Sansa to Loras Tyrell. They rearranged all the marriages to keep the chips in their family's favor. But how did they find out? Through the grapevine, of course, as Loras blabbed to Olyvar (who he was fooling around with) who blabbed to Littlefinger who blabbed to Cersei.
(#13) Tyrion Met Jon Snow
Tyrion made his own detour to the Wall just as Jon Snow was setting out to join the Night's Watch all the way back in Season 1. Tyrion's sharp tongue made Jon defensive at times, but these two bastards of a kind did become friendly enough. They wished each other well after Tyrion fulfilled his dream of pissing off the top of the Wall.
