so yeah, winter is coming and according to sister-fish it's no wonder i'm having nightmares since i watch "such gory stuff with all sorts of weird crap and vampires". the show features no vampires, but it does have white walkers and the body count got to at least 6 in 1 hour. but long story short:
sean bean is awesome as ned stark. he's a true blue pater familias, gardian of the north, honorable, loyal and a mighty warrior and dispenser of justice with the sword, because the aries in him wouldn't have the patience for long trials and lawyers. he's also friend of the king robert baratheon who is no aragorn, so ned looks very good in comparison.also, the king asks him to basically rule the entire kingdom while "he drinks, eats and whores his way to an early death" which in ned's mind is something aragorn should have also done instead of prancing around being awesome and living to be 400.
