I say he needs another golden crown. One custom made by Drogo.
I had been spoiled about Ned dying in episode 9 before I even started the series, but I thought he'd die because he refused to do something that would go against his honor. Instead, he gave up his honor to save his daughters and did everything that was asked of him (Snow was wrong) - only for that little inbred brat Joffrey to execute him and have the "last word", so to speak. Raged HARD! Even his mother (whom I thought was one of the most evil character in the show until now) was shocked by her son's decision. At least it looks like he'll hold up part of the end of his bargain, which is to let Ned's daughter live... or will he? I think he'll keep Sansa as his wife, but I wouldn't be surprised if he intends to have Arya killed.

That is to dignified a way for him to die. Joffery needs to die in an unseemly or stupid manner: falling down the stairs after tripping on a rug; contracting a venereal disease/infection after bedding one of Littlefinger's unclean whores; accidentally slitting his own throat as he attempts to shave. Etc. Whatever his death, it needs to be shameful, cowardly, and stupid...just like Joffery.
(Note to fans of the books, I do not wish to know if Joffery actually dies. I do not know, and I am comfortable with my ignorance...at least until I get around to reading the other books in the series...) |

Are there any news on when the series will be released on DVD? I don't have HBO so I didnt have the chance to watch this live, but as a fan of the book series I'll probably buy this the moment its out.

I don't believe there is a release date yet, but there has already been talks of it hitting stores early so I don't think you'll wait for long.He wasn't. I fail to see the logic or the gain in Ned's death. The idiot made an enemy out of the entirety of the North now.

Doesn't look good for little Joff now. Quote:
I say he just need a bit of a Grey Wind to knock him over. Quote:
And I don't think Snow was wrong, Ned tried to do the right thing, even at the last moment, as a father at least. Cersei is an interesting case, to say the least. She wants her son to rule, but even she understood that what he had done was wrong. It's not much to do with betraying the deal but more to do with how now the North will rise in anger how their lord had been executed. As for Sansa ... will she continue to love Joff, after killing her father with a paid executioner no less? Then again, love doesn't play much of a factor at this game, does it? Oh and for the folks who are talking about Joff's death, I wont say anything at all. But I will say I want to see more of this Spoiler for :

People, it is just beginning. The entire first book(ie this season) is nothing but a set up.
I can't wait until next season. It becomes one giant clusterfuck, with even more blindsides than this episode. [snip] Last edited by james0246; 2011-06-14 at 01:12. Reason: please, no spoilers. |

Just watched the first ep last night. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty intriguing story, a classic plot of deception and intrigue to force their way to power. But this is only the tip of the iceberg when you have ice creatures capable of Necromancy. I like it

Indeed, I remember following books were better. Ned's death really put the story into avalanche-mode. I didn't react that much about the death though, having read the books. I guess I already had my reaction back then...
On another note no battle on screen, and no wolf action. As suspected I guess... I have to commend the actor for Joffrey though. Besides of Viserys, he's one of the character that nailed his role the best. Just the smug, spoiled brat I know him from the books. I don't really see him as evil though, as you portrayed him in your review. He, still being a kid, just doesn't realizes the consequences, being brought up in that kind of protected environment. He doesn't know how the real world works. Cersei reacts the way she does because she knows the consequences, not that she wanted mercy for Ned. Last edited by Stealther; 2011-06-14 at 03:55. |

1) so Khal's horde don't use medicine or clean their wounds ? it's a wonder half of them aren't falling dead .. or was that weapon that poisoned Drogo poisoned or something else ?
2) Robb with his 18000 + the bridge guys that his mother negotiated took out Jaime's 30000 ? and they still have some left ?

Not a novel reader, but...

Jaime's army has already engaged in battles for days, therefore fatigued, in addition to spread across several fronts, raids, sieges, etc. While the Stark army was organized, prepared, at its full force, and could choose where to engage. |

that Robb's army paid for the victory was not shown. I assume that the next episode "might" include the details of battle in its script so I won't directly answer this yet. also, Drogo's horde has healers but it is possible that some wounds are beyond their skill.

This is what i think as well. The problem is sacrificing 2,000 men just to capture a target might not quite a victory. So if it's a commando raid, Jemmy's capture probably will lead to the downfall of his army
