Game of Thrones bosses regret a lost comeback
Jan 17, 2024 6:24 PMGame of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss recently expressed a single change they would have liked to make in the series: bringing back Mord, the jailer from Season 1. Mord was the character who interacted with Tyrion Lannister at The Eyrie. Benioff and Weiss envisioned a scene where Mord could have appeared as a tavern owner, having used the gold from Tyrion to establish the business, but the idea came too late to be incorporated into the show. Although Game of Thrones concluded in 2019 with mixed reactions to its final season, the world of Westeros continues to expand with several spin-offs, including the already released 'House of the Dragon' and upcoming series such as 'Dunk and Egg', 'Snow', and 'The Sea Snake'.

It's a quirky testament to the depth of Game of Thrones that even small characters like Mord have left an impression on Benioff and Weiss, hinting at untold stories in Westeros' nooks and crannies. Although 'House of the Dragon' is flying high, news like this makes us wonder about the 'what-ifs' and the rich tapestry of George R. R. Martin's world that keeps on giving, even after the series end.

Ah, the idea of Mord living his best life as a tavern owner with Tyrion's gold is the kind of quirky twist that captures the charm of early GoT seasons. It's a fun bit of what could have been in a series that's had no shortage of memorable characters—even the briefest ones leave their mark.
