  1. In my opinion the most important moment in the series. This episode allow us to understand that in the world created by Martin there's no space for free will, all men are subjected to fate. There's no possibilities of choice, and if they have the feeling to choose freely then is all an illusion. If it weren't so then this scene would have an obvious logical contradiction that would break the closed circle: because a closed timeline with the presence of free will would allow inexplicable paradoxes, such as going back in the past to kill our mother before she met our father, but if the free will did not exist then we would be sure to be unabled to kill our mother for any reason.
    And this is even more ingenious, considering that a story written in a paper is, of necessity, already written, determined.
    Fate in the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is established by gods supposedly and is mentioned many times in the books by characters.
    For this reasons I think that the work made my Martin is a masterpiece. Is one of the most important question in the history of humans being and of course, is a question that still opresses us even today. "Does free will really exist?" Or we are subdued by the law of determinsm otherwise by the casualty of indetermism?
    However I am expected a cyclical finish for this work.

  2. I still don't understand why it is so sad? He wasn't really a huge character in the show. Is it cool to be sad from this scene? I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just don't get the whole making a big deal about his death thing.
