Storyline

Sansa begs King Joffrey to spare her father's life. With his mother's support he agrees to spare him provided Ned publicly confesses that he is a traitor and recognizes him as the rightful king. Ned refuses at first but soon recognizes that the lives of his children are at stake and eventually agrees. Arya has eluded capture living in the town and scrounging for food. She goes to the square when she hears her father is to appear. What happens is something no child should have to witness. Tyrion arrives at his father's camp but the elder Lannister is dismissive of his diminutive son. He also tells him that he will be in the vanguard of the attack to take place the next day against Robb Stark's forces arriving from the north. For his part, Robb is proving to be an able field general and takes a Lannister prisoner. Daenerys finds she has little influence after Drogo falls ill and is unable to ride. Written by garykmcd

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. See more »

My Heart Dropped
15 September 2018 | by Rainey-DawnSee all my reviews

Season 1, episode 9. My heart dropped at the end of this episode. I was pleased to see Cersei trying to stop Joffrey at the very end. Joffrey proves he's nothing more than a bad seed it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few episodes. What bothers me is that Jon Snow never did get that last chat with his father Ned Stark about his real mother and Robb Stark was on his well on his way with his army to help their father. The two Stark daughters witnessed what happened first hand to their father Eddard.

My blood boils at this point looking looking at Joffrey - the next few episodes will reveal more.

10/10
