King Robert, Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Jaime Lannister sharing war stories. One of my favorite scenes in the show. All rights to this clip belong to HBO.
Robert’s slow realization that Jamie actually saved hundreds of thousands of people by doing the thing Robert consistently belittles him for is the reason I watch this over and over.
Most of the scenes from Season 1 seem like they're from a show completely different than the one we're watching today. Everything just seemed grittier, smarter, more real.
No expensive CGI, no big battle, not even any music. They're just talking and yet somehow this is still an amazing scene. Peak GoT truly was something special.
Underrated piece of storytelling here is the mountains of respect between Jaime and Selmy. You can see the regard Selmy holds Jaime in, and the gargantuan level of hero worship Jaime has for the older man. Years of background info, backstory and character relationships and development shown with a few glances and subtle smiles.
Robert remembered the faces of all the men he had killed but couldn’t remember Lyanna’s face, even though she left a hole that ‘seven kingdoms’ couldn’t fill! That’s deep.
The way Nikolaj delivered that ‘burn them all’ with the expression on his face is chilling. You can tell that night haunts him for the rest of his life. He saw a madman break loose in his final moments, something out of a horror movie.
i absolutely love Robert's story here. I think he sees himself in the boy he killed; he thought he could end the injustice and the horrors of the Targaryen rule by just marching into King's Landing and killing the mad king, but war is bloody and a lot of people had to die just for him to get where he is, and even then, Robert isn't happier here. Had the boy lived, he'd be in the same position Robert would be in now, sure he doesn't have a crown, but Robert doesn't care about that. He cares about all the discontents in life.

Robert was the perfect example of the knight who slayed the dragon and found life boring afterwards
“Who Wrote Season 8? Some Half-Wit With A Stutter”
One of the finest scenes in the whole show. We really didn’t know what we had back then.

Robert's journey from unparalleled to pathetic was secretly a metaphor for how the series was going to play out. Very allegorical.

I thought Jamie was narcissistic especially in terms of swordsmanship
“Same thing he’d been saying for hours. She's my Queen.”

I love how Robert’s mouth falls open at “burn them all” as he understands himself to have been included there if the mad king had his way.
Jaime: "He said the same thing he had been saying for hours... Burn them all"
"everywhere I look, I see there smug, satisfied faces"
This scene is so well acted and written.

i always loved how robert made sure to mock the lannister family every chance he got lol
God I wish we could've seen what a badass fighter Robert was with that damn Warhammer
