Looks like my 2 favorite scenes aren't even going to make the damn cut.

Should have done a better job of hiding them in weaker parts of the bracket.

In the middle of a rewatch like I mentioned earlier, and just watched "Sons of the Harpy". Don't recall seeing Berristan and Grey Worm vs the Sons of the Harpy and I would probably vote for that in the right matchup. Thought it was a good fight scene and had Berristan going down swinging.

Not a book reader so sorry to offend. Just thought it was a good scene. I know his story differs in the books so I can see how one would not enjoy that.

The group round voting is closed and the field of 64 is set, should have it up and running around 8 or 9 am Monday

The Round of 64 Commences!

Lots of potential early "upsets" - although so much of the voting was densely packed between 30-50% that I'm not sure these qualify as upsets. You have until about midnight or maybe 6 a.m. tomorrow to vote, so vote early.

VOTE NOW!

CJK5H but THK5G for some chicken

Sorry to tell you this, because I'm sure you put a lot of work into it, but this list sucks. Not a single moment from The Red Wedding? That's one of the biggest moments in TV history, and there's not single item about in your round of 64?

Get a ****ing life.

So, you, as a Game of Thrones fan, are saying that the Red Wedding isn't one of the top 64 moments in the series?

Well that's half right actually.

Any of us would undoubtedly call the entire Red Wedding scene one of the top few scenes from the entire series.

I look at it this way, this tourney is like one of the other tournaments where <insert Star Wars or Star Wars related thing> is removed from the voting because it would obviously win. For example. the Millennium Falcon of course would destroy anyone else in the best vehicle/spaceship tournament, it really became more of a tourney for 2nd place.

Maybe at the end of this we can have a mano a mano between the winner of the 64 and the Red Wedding.

The Jaime/Brienne scenes and story on the screen they did very well early on. It was also a great storyline in the books, albeit the books definitely took a few different turns there for a bit! And then eventually the show had to go off on their own with it, and failed miserably.

I think a lot of the best Jaime/Brienne scenes in this tourney are maybe partially doing well because they played out well in both the books and the show, so us readers have something else to base it off of as well.

Man. I'm reminded of a lot of great stuff in here (Oberyn saying he'll fight for Tyrion, for example) and a lot of stuff that wore me out (Ramsay Bolton and many seasons of Dany getting 'kickass' moments).

It's difficult to look back on cool stuff given some of the stuff that happens later. I HATED Grey Worm by the end, so anything with the Unsullied kinda sucks in retrospect. That sort of thing.

Weird show.

and of course, the Emmy Award voters.

Two 5/12 upsets brewing so far.

What 2 moments were you mad didn't make it to the 64?

That's my wheelhouse of fantasy/sci-fi characters - the aged hero/knight who is still got a lot of fire left in him - explains my fascination with Obi-Wan Kenobi and King Theoden as well.

Put some respect on Aragorn. He's 87 after all.

"King in the North!" vs Tyrion's trial speech was tough.

Was coming to post this. Two of my favorite scenes from the series.

Voted for lots of underdogs. My toughest may have been the one below. I love The Bold in general and that scene was awesome, but Dracarys might be my favorite scene of the series.

#6 Dany unleashes the Unsullied and Drogon on the Wise Masters vs. #11 Barristan Selmy quits like a boss

Can't choose between these two:

#3 Oberyn tells Tyrion, "I will be your champion." vs. #6 Hodor holds the door

Jon Snow vs the Bolton army at Winterfell, and Cersei nuking the sept are the best moments remaining for me, from a purely cinematic standpoint.

Crazy that they came in back to back episodes. That last half of Season 6 was pretty amazing.
