He didn’t seem all that concerned that Sansa was right freaking there though.
Not much he could have done about that, though.
Sansa’s cool. She was probably thinking about Joffery on a unicorn or something.
I think you’re giving her too much credit. The idea that she could hold two different things in her head at once has no on-screen proof whatsoever.

Oh, guess you didn’t see the same show that I did…
lol
Am I the only one who sees Jorah and thinks “Duncan Idaho”?
Or sees Jamie and thinks “Face”?
I was going to add: sees Ned and thinks “Boromir”, but that’s not quite fair, since it is the same actor.
I was jarred out of the show by seeing glass goblets. I have no idea whether medieval tech would have been able to come up with this perfectly matched set. I’m certain the show has been using using metal up till now.
Glass blowing was invented over two thousand years ago. They would certainly have the technology in GoT. Only royalty would be able to afford it, I’m sure.
:eek:

I finally caught up with this episode and holy crap I was not expecting that!! I thought for sure Arya was going to stab Joffrey or something. Oh my God!
Wow I applaud them for going there, but daaaamn! I thought for sure Ned would live past this season since he’s the star and the best known actor of the series!
I figured it would be something like that. It just looked so modern it jarred me. My own uninformed expectation.
I think of Prince Charming from the Shrek movies when I see Jaime.
THAT’S who he reminds me of. I’ve been trying to figure it out all season.
I apologize, I’ve not read the entire thread here (it’s 5 pages long, and thus beyond my attention span), but the death of Ned puts this show in the class of “completely uninteresting” for me. There’s no other character that I care about, except the sword-fighting girl daughter and (possibly) the son on the wall. However, once the show has demonstrated that they can kill off the only sympathetic character, they’ve lost me.
If, in the next episode, a huge tsunami killed off off the other characters, I wouldn’t care. So, why bother to watch a show when I don’t care about the fate or activities of any of the characters?
Because the writer made you care about a character and moved you to such an extent that you’re willing to write off the show because of the pain?
You don’t think that writer (or group of writers) has any more to tell you?
He was also the immortal guy from New Amsterdam, a short lived but fairly awesome TV series a couple seasons ago.
At the Wall and Winterfell, and even at King’s Landing, we’ve seen a lot of mugs that appear to be carved animal horn, probably from aurochs, which are mentioned in the books quite a bit. You can spot them easily, because they tend to “lean” to one side or the other. I noticed the glass, too, and thought, what the hell?
You seem to be making my point. Ned could have declined to confess and could have taken the moment to instead announce publicly the incest of the queen and the illegitimacy of Joffrey. Killing him afterward wouldn’t put that cat back in the bag. Why would the queen take such a chance?
Do you automatically believe the rantings of a traitor against your new king?
I see no reason why the crowd would believe Ned.
They had his daughter hostage. If he’d done that, the Lannisters would have killed Sansa too. There’s also no guarantee that the crowd would have believed him. The Lannisters could have just dismissed him as a traitor trying to lie to save his own skin.
It probably would have been an emotional kick in the nuts to Joffrey, though.
