One would think that the most expensive death on the show would be "Read Wedding" or one that involved the dragons.

Turns out that it was when Arya killed Ser Meryn Trant in season five by gouging out his eyes.

According to the showrunner, it required a lot of CGI to bring the death to screen.

5. There's an episode of GOT in which Daenerys was played by someone else

There's an unaired "Game of Thrones" pilot. It was directed by Oscar winning director Tom McCarthy, but was so terrible that they had to reshoot.

The interesting fact is that Catelyn Stark and Daenerys Targaryen were played by Jennifer Ehle and Tamzin Merchant, respectively.

But when the show made its debut, they were replaced by Michelle Fairley and Emilia Clarke.

But, since the sixth season, the character has been played by Vladimir Furdik, a Slovakian stunt actor.

8. Cersei Lannister and Bronn of the Blackwater are never in the same scene

According to a 2014 report in The Telegraph, Lena Heady (Cersei) and Jerome Flynn (Bronn) are never in the same scene because of their failed relationship.

“Jerome and Lena aren’t on speaking terms anymore and they are never in the same room at the same time," a source had told the publishing house.

“It’s a pity because they appeared to have patched things up for a while, but now the word is they should be kept apart at all costs.”

Remember in season seven finale, during the meeting at King's Landing, Bron decided to go for a drink with Podrick before the Lannisters arrived.

9. Peter Vaughan

Until "Game of Thrones," there was nothing like the Dothraki language. It was invented by David J. Peterson, a 30-year-old linguistics enthusiast, for the show.

It recently ended its seventh season and it seems like fans would have to wait until 2019 for a new season.
