  1. During his peak Ser Gerold Hightower was the greatest swordsman of The Kingsguard, then it became Ser Barristan Selmy during his peak and on the end Ser Arthur Dayne, the sword of the morning, the one Knight every boy wanted to be.

  2. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the hell out of this fight, but it bothers me that the man who fought so beautifully here gets killed over nothing really. Robert killed Rhaegar, Jaimie killed the mad king, and Ned's just trying to get to his sister and obviously would not harm her. What are you fighting for, man?

  3. This is either my favorite fight scene or maybe the one with Arya and that assassin chick who disguised herself with the many faces. When they were sparring with the staff weapons, it was pretty cool especially when Arya was blind at the time and she still was doing pretty well.

  4. i wonder if Bran contributes to Neds ptsd issues he hears the battles and swords clashing in season 1. so who knows what a distance ghostly voice yelling father might do to him considering he hears those sounds from that time when those battles were going on, and bran just randomly yells out just after a big sword fight. did that haunt him for years? did he ever wonder what it meant

  5. bran knows it was unfair from the beginning right? he is supposed to be smart yet can't count? lol. the world isn't fair and grow up it's war. ned was still a boss while you are just a cripple bran! lol I can't help any slight to my man Ned or the North I have to say something. lol

  6. For anyone who thinks this was a good fight, look at the guy in the background wenn they are standing 4 vs 1 around Arthur Dayne. I really want to enjoy this fight, but somehow it feels too staged and badly acted. It feels so unreal.

  7. what if viserys, knowing they'd been defeated, fled to the tower of joy in search of rhaegar's heir and found twins in the arms of lyanna stark. He could only take one child and so chose the one with silver hair leaving jon snow behind. Ned hears the kidnapping here however it is too late to stop viserys but not too late to hear his sisters dying wish… "promise me ned… promise to keep my children safe…"
