His death was the catalyst of the epic war between two houses that is about to come and enhanced the drama of a tragic death of a hero. It's what makes this show so great and full of surprises.
@ThatGreatFellow He survived countless Sharpe adventures, and you know why? He used the old "you go up there, I'll go round there and we'll meet up round the back" strategy in every single episode. Why he didn't do that in Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings I'll never know.
lmao ata the previous comments I am so with you both, I was thinking the same damn thing he is so badass why cant he ever live and be the main character grr
@Dreadwins Sure it will be good. This is not a story about one single character although it´s very bitter to loose some of them. But as Jaime said: "If the Gods are just, why is the world so full of injustice?" Remember that.
@ThatGreatFellow on the one hand side i think he really would deserve a role that survives till the end, but on the other hand side, he really can play this kind of character wo builds something up, shows his traits and sides and then disappears and leaves sadness in every character and viewer
@MahinGrim Troy, North Country, Silent Hill and Percy Jackson as far as I remember. But yes, he obviously enjoys being killed in movies or series. I knew it was coming, but I´m still sad that Ned´s gone and so is Sean Bean. He stole pretty much every scene he acted in for himself.
@svoba4af Agreed. Real shame to see him go. At least in most other movies he seems to die nearer the end, whereas there could be quite a few more series of this without him!
Sean Bean rocks. It somehow feels really satisfying to have Sean Bean as a good guy, on our side so to speak. I'm so used to him playing villains that it's awesome having him as a good guy.
Catelyn is such a bitch.........oh yeah my husband fucked another chick so Im going to blame poor John for it, fucking stupid bitch, sounds like she should of had a chat with Ned.
I'm just wondering who HBO is going to bring in to replace the face of the series. Sean Bean was the main reason I started watching, I saw him in the preview before the season started and said to myself "i gotta see this show" and have been hooked since. Good luck HBO, its gonna be hard to kill the most popular guy in the show and expect to get new viewers next season. RIP Eddard Stark
@TheRahan100 alll i know is that robb, jeofrey, remly, and balon greyjoy die from the war, since iv read the books, but i cant rememer who kills who. but your right, that wuss of a boy joeofrey needs to get is ass whooped
@Qwufi slight spoiler alert, do not get attached to any character you ever find in the series whether you do pick up the books or continue watching. that's what makes these books fun, anybody can die. also, if you do start reading, the show has been extremely faithful so if you like the show you'll love the books
@drsguitar ty :) I wanted to buy the books right after the first episode but I think I'll wait and buy them after the show. Is it right when I say: One season is one book? I mean I would buy the first book :)
@Qwufi correct. besides there are still some big things that'll happen in the last episode so it's best that you don't start "Clash of Kings" until after so you don't ruin the show for youself.
I can't believe it! at the end of the first book, Ned fulfills his lifelong dream of opening up a bed and breakfast on the outskirts of winterfell. their specialties are homemade fruit preserves and japanese style mineral bath.
its clear (with influence of the writer as producer) they direct Sean to act a certain way with Jon..they wouldn't spoil it by telling us different, its just his bastard, but it definitely seems he sees the lingering memories of his sister (whom fans believe to be Jons mother, with her Targaryan ''captor") in the lad..he gets the same sad, faraway look that Robert gets thinkin of her, doesn't seem like his past mistake at adultery haunting him but more he sees his dead sisters visage in Jon
can someone tell me if ned does end up dieing? cause that would be so shit, he is my favorite character in this show :S I haven't read the books, but I read someone saying something about him dieing but I don't want it to happen D:<
@Namnarooni that's what I'm saying, how come he dies so early on in the series if he dies around the end of the book? no way... Sean Bean was destined to play short-lived characters.
Given that one of the influences of this series is the War of the Roses I've always had a bit of a British vibe from most of the people on the actual continent of Westeros.
@Lishkafe What should they be if not British? I always imagined the people of Westeros to have British-ish accents, those of the Free Cities to sound French or Spanish, and the Khalasari to be something like Mongolian.
they are well described in the book. the "halisay" (as translated in the hebrew version; it feels wrong to pronouse it not in my language) are dark barbarians (so far for mongolian) and westruse ppl? Ned? Aria? Tirion? as British? or- "worse" - french? they are not snobish...
@Lishkafe I really suggest this is the last time you look at this tv series as you are obviously not open to even the most minor adaptation. Would you rather they picked worse actors that looked exactly like they did in your mind?
lol they let the main role get killed,i was like wtf
but it´s unique in a show
pure quality show
