| 1. | Fresh from the (less than) matrimonial bliss of the previous evening, Daenerys develops two new friendships. Which two people become her Dothraki adviser and lovemaking tutor? | ||
|
|
Jorah Mormont and Doreah | ||
| Doreah and Mycah | |||
| Jorah Mormont and Mycah | |||
| Jorah Mormont and Ros | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Unfortunately for Jorah, he is NOT the lovemaking tutor. |
|||
| 2. | Why was Jorah Mormont banished from his land by Ned Stark? | ||
| Jorah cuckolded Ned while the Stark leader was away fighting a war. | |||
| Jorah purchased slaves. | |||
|
|
Jorah sold poachers into slavery. | ||
| Jorah traded weapons with the savages across the Wall. | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Ned Stark beheads a dude for running from White Walkers but only exiles someone for slaving? The 1% gets favorable treatment. Occupy Winterfell! |
|||
| 3. | One character gets to live the dream by bitch-slapping Joffrey not once not twice but THRICE. Who is this lucky bloke who keeps his pimp hand strong? | ||
| Jaime Lannister, not at all Joffrey's dad | |||
| Robert Baratheon, 100% positively Joffrey's dad | |||
| Theon Greyjoy, certain to be a wildly popular character | |||
|
|
Tyrion Lannister, best drunken whoremonger in Westeros | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Ah Tyrion. How much do we love thee? Let me count the ways. 1) You bitchslapped Joffrey. 2) You slapped Joffrey like a bitch. 3) Joffrey got bitchslapped by you. |
|||
| 4. | Isn't that sweet? Who pays a visit to the recently thrown from a wall Bran Stark? | ||
|
|
Cersei Lannister, thoughtful human being | ||
| Jaime Lannister, who has an airtight alibi for the wall-throwing | |||
| Robert Baratheon, who could really use a drink | |||
| Tyrion Lannister, the only Lannister capable of human emotion | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Cersei reveals that she lost a son, which would be a much more sympathetic revelation had she not asked her brother-lover to murder Bran. |
|||
| 5. | Someone is given a present, a skinny sword named Needle. Who gives it and who gets it? | ||
| Jon Snow/Bran Stark | |||
| Robb Stark/Bran Stark | |||
|
|
Jon Snow/Arya | ||
| Robb Stark/Arya | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Needle is Jon's parting gift to his little sister as he leaves Winterfell to take the black. |
|||
| 6. | Okay, it's time to start playing The Game. Which person does Robert worry could pose a threat to his kingdom and his reign? | ||
|
|
Daenerys Targaryen, recent recipient of dragon eggs | ||
| Stannis Baratheon, comedian extraordinaire | |||
| Tywin Lannister, the Daddy Warbucks of Westeros | |||
| Viserys Targaryen, really bad brother | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Robert is less worried about Daenerys herself than her Dothraki husband and their potential heirs. Oops. |
|||
| 7. | When pressed by King Robert, who does Ned claim is the mother of Jon Snow? | ||
| Cersei, who thinks of him every time she sleeps with the king | |||
| Lyanna Stark, Ned's sister | |||
| A woman who killed herself from shame named Ashara Dayne | |||
|
|
Wylla, a wet nurse | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
I realize that this is the trickiest question on the quiz but it's an important topic as the series progresses. |
|||
| 8. | Jon Snow has some company on his trip to the Wall. Which of these people does not join him on his journey? | ||
| Benjen Stark | |||
| A couple of rapists given the choice between castration and taking the black | |||
|
|
Jaime Lannister | ||
| Tyrion Lannister | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
While Jamie does give Jon advice (?) and a pep talk (???), he does not join the traveling company. |
|||
| 9. | There is some Westerosi history revealed in this episode. Who killed the mad king Targaryen? | ||
|
|
Jaime Lannister | ||
| Ned Stark | |||
| Robert Baratheon | |||
| Tywin Lannister | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
While Robert won the war thanks in large part to Ned and a late assist from Tywin, Jamie Lannister is the Kingslayer. And the act itself was treacherous. |
|||
| 10. | Maester Luwin needs someone to become the decision maker in Ned's absence at Winterfell. Who volunteers? | ||
| Catelyn Stark | |||
| Cersei Lannister | |||
| Maester Luwin | |||
|
|
Robb Stark | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Catelyn cannot be bothered to rule her people, not with all this needlepoint to do. |
|||
| 11. | Assassination attempt! Some dude shows up in Bran's room, intent on finishing the job that Jaime Lannister started. Who kills him? | ||
| Arya Stark | |||
| Catelyn Stark | |||
| Robb Stark | |||
|
|
Summer, Bran's direwolf | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Catelyn is badass during this scene, grabbing the sharp end of a dagger to save the lives of herself and her son but it's Summer who shreds the dude's neck. |
|||
| 12. | Batman ain't got nuthin' on master detective Catelyn Stark. What clue does she discover that implicates the Lannisters in Bran's injury? | ||
|
|
Blonde hair at the top of the keep where he "fell" | ||
| Parchment that indicates the Lannister twins are lovers. | |||
| A piece of Cersei's clothing at the top of the keep where he "fell" | |||
| Valyrian steel at the top of the keep where he "fell" | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
It's the Westerosi equivalent of CSI! |
|||
| 13. | Khaleesi wants to get kinky. What does she ask of Khal Drago? | ||
| To be kissed in softer places | |||
| To invite Doreah as a participant | |||
| To kiss during the act itself | |||
|
|
To see his face during the act itself | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Who says romance is dead? |
|||
| 14. | Whose presence frightens Sansa Stark? | ||
| Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain | |||
| Her direwolf, Lady | |||
| Joffrey Baratheon | |||
|
|
Sandor Clegane aka The Hound | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
As I rewatch the series, I realize that The Hound runs into the Stark daughers more often than Ned and Catelyn do. |
|||
| 15. | A romantic walk between Joffrey and Sansa takes a turn for the "Joffrey is such a little punk" when all of the following occurs except... | ||
| Direwolf Nymeria savagely bites Joffrey | |||
| Joffrey cuts Mycah's face | |||
| Joffrey's sword is thrown in the water by Arya | |||
|
|
Mycah spits at Joffrey | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Mycah is far too awed by royalty to provide any resistance. If you are keeping score at home, Joffrey is bitch-slapped three times and bitten once in this episode, making it the best GoT ever. |
|||
| 16. | What disappoints King Robert Baratheon the most about Joffrey's behavior? | ||
|
|
Arya got the best of him in a swordfight | ||
| An opponent was given a fair chance in battle | |||
| A real Baratheon should be able to kill a direwolf | |||
| A real Baratheon should know not to fight a woman | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
I love the subtext that Robert is hugely ashamed of Joffrey. |
|||
| 17. | Who is punished most severely for the sword fight? | ||
| Joffrey | |||
|
|
Lady, the direwolf of Sansa | ||
| Nymeria, the direwolf of Arya | |||
| Sansa, whose recent betrothal is declared invalid | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Nymeria flees so another direwolf is punished in her stead. Joffrey has never been punished for anything in three seasons. |
|||
| 18. | The Hound kills someone (off screen) during this episode. Whose body is he dragging by horse? | ||
| Arya's direwolf, Nymeria | |||
|
|
Mycah the butcher's boy | ||
| Sansa's direwolf, Lady | |||
| Ser Rodrik Cassel | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
"He ran. Not very fast." |
|||
| 19. | What happens the moment Ned kills Lady the direwolf? | ||
|
|
Bran Stark awakens from his coma | ||
| Joffrey kisses Sansa | |||
| Nymeria the direwolf runs away from home | |||
| Sansa slaps Arya | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
My wife has a theory that the reason Sansa is so malleable compared to the other Stark children is because her direwolf is dead. |
|||
| 20. | Not everything is rainbows and unicorns for the Lannisters. They are disappointed to discover that... | ||
|
|
Bran Stark will live | ||
| Sansa Stark will not marry Joffrey | |||
| Tyrion will be returning to King's Landing with them | |||
| Tywin will be visiting their encampment | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Don't you just hate it when an injured child survives a tragedy and starts to recover? |
