My favourite scenes are heavily skewed towards the end of the season. Not that the younger actors didn't do great, just that I found the drama to be much more engaging as the series went on.

As such, my favourite scene in the entire first season is:

'....And Strong'.

I think the actor playing Aemond is absolutely bossing it, and this scene is the culmination of a few episodes of building tension. The way the scene is shot, the way the actor delivers his lines and then the pause, damn that pause. We all knew what was coming, and to finally hear him say it was both incredibly satisfying and fantastic fun.
