I should have waited to eat before the opening scene.
Charles Dance is a fantastic Tywin.
When you see the dynamic between Tywins and his kids you get a sense of why they are the way they are.
I'm glad to see show Tywin is still pissy about Jaime being in the KG.
Cersei hates Ned bc of Lyanna.
I didn't hear a thing LF was saying. Lol
Did LF just admit he's a fucker?
Theon just said, "I'm not a southerner". IIRC the Iron Islands are in the South.
I like how Luwin saves Osha from Theon but again his placement in WF is brought up. He's treated like an outsider.
I love Charles Dance, I was wondering if him skinning a deer was a prelude I never caught for the Lannisters killing King Bob again.

IT was only after GoT that I started noticing Charles Dance in a lot of movies - Alien 3 (Sigourney's doomed love interest!), this goofy/awful Eddie Murphy 1980s comedy The Golden Child (he's the villain), Strike Back, etc

***One thing I notice about Game of Thrones is I like almost all their casting decisions. Lots of people hate certain characters like Ramsey and Joffrey, but I don’t because I enjoy the watching the actors so much. Charles Dance as Tywin was a brilliant casting choice. Too bad he couldn’t have survived till the end, but alas the have the fun is discovering who doesn’t make it...
***That’s a real deer that he’s breaking down in the opening scene. I wonder if they eventually steaked it up or turned it into sausage or just threw it away?
*** “A Lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of the sheep” ~ Tywin to Jaime Lannister
*** “The family name is all that lives on” ~ Tywin Lannister
*** Jaime needs to wash his face of the e-coli that Tywin just slapped on there. Just saying...
*** Cersai jumps right into defending banging her brother.
***Ned “My son saw you with him"
*** King Robert must have been something in his youth. Cersai: “I worshipped him. Every girl in the 7 Kingdoms dreamed of him, but he was mine by oath”.
*** Run Cersai, Run! ~ Ned paraphrased
*** “I’m saving myself for another” ~ Littlefinger
****“I’m not going to fight them I am going to fuck them” ~ Littlefinger
*** Who drugged King Baratheon? I can’t remember. Was it Cersai or another?
*** Ned has very good penmanship
*** Ned would have been a great king!
*** King Baratheon feeling buyers remorse. “Let Dany live, Ned. Let her live if it’s not too late”
*** Jorah, going to pick up some mail from the 7 kingdoms. Ah, the spider sends his congratulations and pardon for the murder of Dany.
*** Jorah to the rescue!!!
*** In a way the Nights Watch is the 7 kingdoms version of the United States. You immigrate to the US you start over and build your own life.
*** Jon Snow is the LC personal steward. Jon Snow little mind unknowingly being groomed for Lord Commander.
*** Ned Stark should have listened to Littlefinger and grab power of the throne. Granted he’d need to deal with Littlefinger at a later date, but he would have lived to see later seasons!!!!
*** “When the queen proclaims one king and the Hand proclaims another who’s peace does the Gold Cloaks protect? Who do they follow? The man who pays them...” ~ Littlefinger talking with Ned
*** ghost is a good corpse hunter!
*** Little does Dany know that she is no longer in danger. King Robert has given up going after her.
*** Jorah gets to choose any horse he wants... Wonder what would have happened if he asked for Dany?
*** Khal Drogo is a great character!
*** Drago’s father is Bharbo... or is it Bharbi?
*** Poor Ned. He shouldn’t have listened to me suggest that he should have listened to Littlefinger...
*** Ned shouldn’t have sat on that letter for so long. Should have made the announcement when Robert was still was alive!
*** Yes, Littlefinger did tell him not to trust him...
