    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The stallion heart that Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) has to eat was made of gelatin and solidified marmalade, so it was safe to eat. Nevertheless, Clarke said that it had the foul taste of chlorine and raw pasta, so all the gagging and facial expressions required no acting. While filming the scene, Clarke got so much fake blood all over her body that it made her sticky. One time, between takes, she disappeared because she got stuck to the toilet seat.
    • Goofs
      While pure gold requires 1,064.18 °C (1,947.52 °F) to melt - a temperature not achievable in a simple campfire - many gold alloys melt at considerably lower temperatures. Pure gold is almost never used in jewelry because it is much too soft, so we can assume Khal Drogo's gold is alloyed. Hence the fact that it melts is not a goof. However, it does melt extremely quickly over the course of just a few seconds and that is not realistic. You cannot even melt the equivalent amount of chocolate that fast in a campfire.
    • Quotes

      [Tyrion is brought before Lysa, after asking to confess his crimes]

      Lysa Arryn: You wish to confess your crimes?

      Tyrion Lannister: Yes, My Lady. I do, My Lady.

      Lysa Arryn: [smiles triumphantly] The sky cells always break them! Speak, Imp. Meet your gods as an honest man.

      Tyrion Lannister: [meekly] Where do I begin, my lords and ladies? I am a vile man, I confess it. My crimes and sins are beyond counting. I have lied and cheated, gambled and whored. I'm not particularly good at violence, but I'm good at convincing others to do violence for me. You want specifics, I suppose. When I was seven, I saw a servant girl bathing in the river. I stole her robe and she was forced to return to the castle naked and in tears. If I close my eyes, I can still see her tits bouncing...

      [Bronn and others chuckle]

      Tyrion Lannister: When I was ten, I stuffed my uncle's boots with goat shit. When confronted with my crime, I blamed a squire. Poor boy was flogged, and I escaped justice. When I was twelve I milked my eel into a pot of turtle stew. I flogged the one-eyed snake, I skinned my sausage. I made the bald man cry into the turtle stew, which I do believe my sister ate. At least I hope she did. I once brought a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel...

      [many of the crowd burst out laughing. Lysa explodes in rage, realizing that Tyrion is making fun of her]

      Lysa Arryn: Silence!

      Robin Arryn: [eagerly] What happened next?

      Lysa Arryn: [angrily] What do you think you're doing?

      Tyrion Lannister: [innocently] Confessing my crimes.

    • Crazy credits
      The sun tells an important part of the series back story, on its panels. It does so in three segments. First, as the credits start up, the sun depicts how the Targaryens and their dragons conquered Westeros. The second time the sun is shown, a dragon is depicted in a mortal struggle with 3 other animals: The Stag, the Lion and the Wolf. It is a very literal way to show how Robert Beratheon and Ned Stark rebelled, with Tywin Lannister reluctantly supporting them, in the end. Finally, the third time the sun is shown, before the series title enter the scene, a lion (among other animals) is shown "kneeling" to a triumphant Stag. Just as Robert was crowned King after winning the war.
