In the wake of Ned Stark's death, what will become of everyone else? This season finale gives all our favorite characters exciting new story arcs to embark upon, and makes for a super suspenseful cliffhanger. Thrill as the Greatjon proclaim's Rob 'King in the North'! Feel the lump in your throat as Jon Snow's new brothers say their oaths and convince him not to go AWOL. Surprise yourself by actually feeling empathy for Sansa as Joffrey taunts her with the disembodied heads of her father and Septa. Wonder at how things will change in King's Landing with tyrion as the new Hand. It all wraps up with a glimpse of very cool living dragons, promising great things in Dany's future. We shall return next week with a Season One wrap up and reflection episode. We'll also make a plan for what to podcast about between now and Season Two.

George R.R. Martin scripted this fast-paced episode. Things happen quickly, and a lot of material from the book is covered efficiently without losing any flavor. We see the Lannisters sieze power, Syrio and Arya's final dance lesson, Arya's first kill, Rob calls the banners, Tyrion recruits the stormcrows, and Jon fends off a wight attack!

Ned confronts Cersei about the father of her children and tries to be merciful by telling her she has one day to flee Westeros, confident that Robert will have his back when he returns from the hunt. Unfortunately Robert is dying when he returns. Renly advises Ned to join their knights and men to sieze Joffrey and the Red Keep. Ned rebukes him, instead seeking to ensure the aid of the Gold Cloaks through a promise from Littlefinger. Is that the wisest thing he's done since coming to King's Landing? Meanwhile Jon and Sam swear their oaths to become men of the Night's Watch, and Ghost returns from the woods with an odd souvenir. All this plus a scene lifted from Caligula, discussed in this weeks podcast.
