Wonderful punch line from Lord Robin, “What happened next?” 3 Golden Crowns This is why there can never be enough Tyrion in any given episode. What this all means is not clear, but the fact that these scenes are given attention, seem to indicate that it will become a key plot point. ![]() In his dreams he’s walking, following a three-eyed Raven into the Stark crypt. He awoke from his coma at the very moment Ned killed Lady. The serving woman’s hands get burned from handling the egg, but Daenerys, who held it longer is not burned.īran has been having dreams that seem to be guiding him to some sort of discovery or understanding. One of serving women sees her and rushes in and grabs the egg away from her. She places one of the dragon eggs on the embers, and after a moment, goes to pick it up. ![]() In this episode there are two scenes side by side that seem to underscore that these two are a little different from everyone else. There have been some hints about Bran and Daenerys having a mystical quality. You can’t overlook a child being pushed out a window and all your men being slaughtered. When Ned and Robert are alone (Cersei leaves after Robert slaps her over a comment that she should be wearing the crown, and he the gown), Robert confesses that he’s “half a kingdom in debt” to Tywin Lannister and can’t rule the kingdom if the Lannisters and Starks are at each other’s throats.īut it’s too far gone at this point. He lays it out for Ned: Catelyn will release Tyrion and Ned will make peace with Jaime.Ĭersei tries to paint Jaime as the victim by telling Robert, “Lord Stark was returning drunk from a brothel when his men attacked Jaime.” It’s such an absurd suggestion that Ned doesn’t even bother to refute it and Robert simply ignores it. In spite of Robert’s attempts to drink himself into an early grave, I believe he is one of the most reliable viewpoints the audience has. No one is buying it, in fact Robert chuckles, “Who’d have thought she had it in her.” Cersei starts in on him with “Do you know what your wife has done?” Ned (as he has since he’s learned that Catelyn took Tyrion) says that it was on his orders. The episode begins with Ned awakening in a fever to see Cersei and Robert looming over him. When last we saw Ned, he had spear in his leg thanks to a Lannister bannerman. “I don’t know what happened between you and these yellow-haired shits.” The serpent in Winterfell came in the form of the Lannisters, when the King traveled north to ask Ned to replace the late Jon Arryn as Hand of the King. Outside of Winterfell, Ned and Catelyn make one disastrous decision after another, trust the wrong people, and as a result put themselves and their children in danger. Yes, there’s the occasional war to fight and deserter to behead for Ned, and yes, Catelyn has to endure Jon Snow (her coldness to him, given how lovable he is, keeps me from being completely a fan of hers), but they have done more than survived – they have enjoyed happiness, something most other noble couples in Westeros do not enjoy. Within Winterfell they enjoyed nobility, a happy marriage and children they love. Lord Eddard (Ned) and Lady Catelyn Stark have an Adam and Eve quality, with Winterfell as Eden.
