"I followed you into war- twice, without doubts, without second thoughts. But I will not follow you now. The Robert I grew up with didn't tremble at the shadow of an unborn child."
Robin Arryn: "Mummy, I want to see the bad man fly."
Robert Baratheon: "Do you want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what she looked like. I only know she was the one thing I ever wanted. Someone took her away from me, and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind."
Cersei Lannister: "I felt something for you once you know."
Robert Baratheon: "I know."
Cersei Lannister: "Even after we lost our first boy, for quite a while actually. Was it ever possible for us? Was there ever a time ever a moment?"
Robert Baratheon: "No...does that make you feel better or worse?"
Cersei Lannister: "It doesn't make me feel anything."
Another good episode, I just wish there wasn't as much unescesary sex thrust in. Then we could focus more on the storyline.
Despite knowing whats going to happen that fight scene is still wonderfully tense.
-holy fuck Tyrion
-any scene with Ned and Robert is gold
-Jamie's the worst ever in season 1
-feels like it's doing a bit of filler, kinda needs to pick up the pace!
Interesting dialogue scenes between Ned and Robert and later conversation between Cersei and Robert. The lesson Bran was taking was quite good, too. I wish there was more dialogue and less sex in the show, I would definitely give a better rating then.
Too much violence for me on an episode!
I won’t mind the sex. It’s a fact that in medieval times sex was the only thing which excites people on a daily basis. I wish there were more shows like this.
Although they didn’t have to kill the knight (assistant?) of Lord Stark. I liked him.
This is the episode that got good for me, now I am hooked!
"You want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what she looked like. I only know she was the one thing I ever wanted. Someone took her away from me, and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind."
That's the crux of every main conflict in the books and show; seeking out brutal revenge for a loved one's death, and it still not making any of the characters happy if they succeed.
Robert's rebellion in reaction to Lyanna Stark's kidnapping and death succeeded, but 17 years later, he was still miserable.
