Talkin' Thrones Episode 9 - Baelor

It's time people, for the first major event of this series that changed television forever. People, tonight, Professor Pat & I bid goodbye to poor old dead Ned Stark! We break down everything that happened in this monumental penultimate episode of Season 1! From Robb making a deal with the devil with the newly introduced Walder Frey, to Jon having a frank but necessary conversation with Maester Aemon that foreshadows his upcoming decision; to Daenerys being shown what happens when she trusts strangers; to Tyrion experiencing his first battle (and being knocked out) only to discover that Robb pulled a fast one on them and has captured Jaime. It all results in the shocker to end all shockers, with the death of Ned Stark. Poor Ned Stark, who had been waylayed and warned about what he was getting himself into from the moment he stepped foot in King's Landing, couldn't read the writing on the walls. The ironic thing is that when Ned dies, he's finally coerced into breaking his precious honor for the supposed safety of his daughter but also for the realm, but loses his head anyways when another player enters the game who has no conception of how it's played. Joffrey's decision to execute Ned announces him as a player in the game and sets the realm on a collision course as the sides are drawn and people begin preparing for war.
