Game of Thrones (spoilers)

[Kev]

You guys are leaving out Ned Stark's most dishonorable act.

That sounded incredibly geeky.

But I would say Ned was meant to be kind of boring. If not boring, then kind of a straight man, not in the comedy sense, but in the sense of the kind of transparent, honorable guy among all the corruption, shades of gray, etc.

The fact that HBO streamed the episode early kind of killed of our debate on it. It was a much "bigger" episode than number 6.

Yeah but I'm guessing that when Jon Snow's mother is revealed she will be some kind of beautiful, enlightened sorceress or some kind of quasi-mystical figure of virtue that will somehow sanctify and justify his indiscretion, or at least try to.

She's hardly like to be a bar wench is she..
