One man’s reaction to episode Four:

Well WV it’s all true, those vids.

I didnt see the last episode yet, and usually i avoid spoilers till i see the show, but I saw so MANY utube headlines about how sucky it was, that I went ahead and watched the spoiler-vids.

I remember when i first saw they were skipping a year, and then finishing it up in SIX episodes — I knew right there and then, it was gonna suck. You simply can NOT take all those storylines and all those characters and wrap it all up in six episodes — UNLESS you cut a lot of corners and ignore character-development. I dont care how good a writer you are, it cant be done. (and these writers are not G.Martin)
They are just ‘ok’ writers. Not terrible but not great.

Anyway, the show jumped the shark as soon as it was reduced to six episodes. Just my o pinion.

wv ewe is huge Game O Thrones fan. She likes this utuber :

i thought that it was a good episode last Sunday…but not so good for Missundae

I especially liked the brothers playing the drinking game…….and Tyrion trying to share “climbing” experiences with Jamie regarding the knighted virgin…..

GOT still has interesting and good moments and set pieces. Or quite often does.

It’s the fabric tying them all together that has gotten short shrift.

Everyone knows, of course, that all the events of Game of Thrones happened because deep in the past, Ned Stark promised to keep secret the fact that Jon Snow is actually the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. Robert Baratheon went to war with the Targaryens under the belief that Rhaegar had kidnapped and raped Lyanna.

Aside from the White Walkers, all the plot events we see in the series involving civil war stem from
everyone fighting over the throne after Baratheon’s death.

So honoring the promise was costly.

This is something everyone just obviously knows, right?

Yeah, but i forget WHY Ned Stark felt he had to lie about it. And i forget WHY Jon’s parents felt they had to lie about being in love and getting married.

I don’t remember why Rhaegar and Lyanna lied.

Ned Stark lied because he promised he would keep the secret.

It’s another example of Ned being noble and doing the right thing, resulting in disaster for everyone.

So I did what any red blooded citizen of the 21st century would do.

I looked it up.

After the Sack of King’s Landing by Lord Tywin Lannister, where he had Ser Gregor Clegane murder the rest of Rhaegar’s family, Ned Stark rode south with Howland Reed and a small party of Northmen to the Tower of Joy to recover his sister, who was still set to marry Robert.

Ned found his sister inside the tower, where she was dying after giving birth to Rhaegar’s last son. Lyanna begged Ned to protect her newborn son, who Robert and Tywin likely would have killed given his Targaryen heritage. Ned promised his sister that he would protect him as she died, raising his Targaryen nephew as his own bastard son at Winterfell, Jon Snow.

All of which makes what I just said about Ned wrong. Ned could not have known the wedding was legit and that his sister loved Rhaegar until after the war was over. He knew none of that when the war began, plus earlier on, Mad King Aerys II Targaryen had gruesomely killed Ned’s father and older brother. And then Lyanna dies very soon after he found her, so he is the only one with the secret, which is made for Jon’s protection.

All that means that my little take on Ned I wrote above, is off base.

….

OKay. So much for King’s Landing.
