Season 1 Episode 2 Conversation between Ned and Robert
I know people are lukewarm about how it ended but I want to bring it back to the magic of how it started. Some of the best acting and directing happened during this sequence. We have Ned talking to Jon telling him we will talk about his mother the next time we meet. Scene cuts to Robert and Ned and talking about Neds honor. Meanwhile the whole time he’s having to forego his honor and lies to the King while talking about the Targaryens knowing that he has housed and raised the rightful true king the whole time. He can stop the lie once Jon takes the black but then and only then. The next scene cuts to the other threat that is the obvious Targaryen threat Daenarys. The magic of the books and show were on full display setting up something that long in advance. Sean Bean absolutely crushed that scene with his mannerisms and the attention to detail was great.
Felt like this needed a post and wanted to open up a discussion. What other moments at the beginning of the series are fun to watch knowing what we know at the end?
