The first image that we see on screen as the episode opens is that of:
|
|
|

|
|

A raven flying
|
|
|
Catelyn collapsing
|
|

Back at Winterfell, Bran reports a dream in which he sees his father Ned:
|
|
|
In the family crypt
|
|
|
Walking along the top of the Wall
|
|
|
Floating down a river
|
|
|
Praying underneath a tree
|
|

|
But it's not only Bran that has the haunting dream that foretells Ned's death. Who else has had a similar dream?
|
|
|
Theon
|
|
|
Rickon
|
|
|
Robb
|
|
|
Hodor
|
|

Meanwhile, in the Riverlands, Robb has received news of his father's execution, and is understandably not taking the tidings well. When we first see Robb in the episode, he is:
|
|
|
Running madly through the camp
|
|
|
Beating a tree with his sword
|
|
|
Digging at the earth with his bare hands
|
|
|
Beating up Jamie Lannister
|
|

Is there any chance that Joffrey mellowed in the afterglow of Ned's execution? You guessed it. The young king orders this to be done to a bard who sings a poorly-chosen song at court:
|
|
|
He is beheaded
|
|
|
His hands are cut off
|
|
|
His is castrated
|
|
|
His tongue is cut out
|
|

|
Sansa shows a little backbone when she has some curt words for Joffrey. As Joff has been taught never to strike a lady, he responds by:
|
|
|
Ordering his guards to strip Sansa
|
|
|
Ordering his guards to lock Sansa away
|
|
|
Ordering his mother to strike Sansa
|
|
|
Ordering his guard to strike Sansa
|
|

|
Sansa moves to push Joffrey off the bridge on which they stand, but is stopped by:
|
|
|
Cersei
|
|
|
The Hound
|
|
|
Yoren
|
|
|
Littlefinger
|
|

|
At the Lannister camp, Big Man on Campus Tywin Lannister makes this somewhat surprising declaration:
|
|
|
He will seek to free his son Jamie
|
|
|
Tyrion will be Hand of the King
|
|
|
He will sue for peace with the Starks
|
|
|
Ned Stark should be given an honorable burial
|
|
9.
|
Yes, Tywin orders Tyrion to be Hand of the King....but oh yeah, there's this one condition:
|
|
|
Tyrion must obey and respect Joffrey
|
|
|
Tyrion must spy on Cersei for Tywin
|
|
|
Tyrion must take a vow of chastity before he leaves for Kings Landing
|
|
|
Tyrion will not not take Shae with him
|
|

|
One of the dragon eggs was destroyed
|
|
|
Her baby did not survive childbirth
|

|
At the Wall, Jon Snow decides to leave to ride south. But his desertion is short-lived when:
|
|
|
Jon's direwolf shepherds his horse back to the Wall
|
|
|
Jon is outsmarted by Sam
|
|
|
Jon is ridden down by the Lord Commander
|
|
|
Sam and his peers convince him to come back
|
|

|
Daenerys decides to put an end to Khal Drogo's life by:
|
|
|
Poisoning him
|
|
|
Smothering him
|
|
|
Burning him alive
|
|
|
Putting him on his horse which she then drives off a cliff
|
|
13.
|
Now dubbed Ary, the youngest Stark daughter is smuggled out of King's Landing by Yoren, who strikes out for this destination:
|
|
|
The Wall
|
|
|
Winterfell
|
|
|

Here's an interesting tidbit to close out our Season 1 trivia. HBO had to issue an apology by using a likeness of which US President in the gallery of severed heads that Sansa is forced to gaze over?
|
|
|
Bill Clinton
|
|
|
Ronald Reagan
|
|
|
George W. Bush
|
|
|
Richard Nixon
