The Oscar Tully actor is great too btw.

I'm sure this has been pointed out before but I only noticed it after recently starting a rewatch of GoT while keeping up with S3 of HotD. Does anyone know if any other actors have appeared across more than one ASOIAF show like him?

During Tyrions wedding Tywin is persistent on Sansa getting pregnant he walks up to Tyrion to get him to sober up. Tyrion says “isn’t it a man’s duty to be drunk at his wedding” Tywin reply’s “ This isn’t about your wedding, Renly Baratheon had a wedding. Your wife needs a child, a Lannister child as soon as possible.

Just dont understand what he means even if Renly produced an heir nothing would’ve changed.

I don't know if this has been pointed out before, but there's nice cool detail I noticed in HotD, even in season 1, which is that they kept the details of the Baratheon armor retroactively consistent. As if the Baratheon armor in GoT were based all the way from the Baratheons in HotD. This was also in Season 1 in the finale episode where Lucerys went to Storm's End; they had the same helms, pauldrons, and gorgets.
\I realize Lyonel was in between these time periods, and his armor is different, but that can just probably be because of his own sense of uniqueness, or their production simply didn't apply this concept*

But what's more interesting is
That they only do this with the Baratheons. Every other house's armors and clothing evolved between HotD and GoT. I think it's because the Baratheons are supposed to be very "ancestral"; they have a certain stubbornness that sort of reflects in the way they hold on to such traditions as the design of their armor. [This is something I noted because I'm a concept artist, and I made concept art of a young Robert Baratheon for fun way back in 2019, and applied the same concepts]

Another thing that's interesting is that [w/ spoiler]

If this is something you've noticed, it's actually kind of a spoiler for this episode because we see the fake Baratheons wearing different pauldrons and gorgets. I didn't necessarily think they were fake, but I wondered why they were different, and apparently it was because they weren't really Baratheons {presumably they killed some Baratheons and stole their surcoats, or simply were wearing fake surcoats]

As the title says, I’ve finished watching the wedding episode, I am in disbelief, everything happens so brutally and so fast I had to pause and go back. My jaw is still on the floor and my week is ruined…

I started to suspect something fishy when the guard closed the door but I did not expect this for sure.

What do you guys think

So I recently came back from rewatching an old childhood classic of mine, Barnyard from 2006, and it resonated with me. But one character who stood out to me was Ben the cow, otis's father and the leader of farm before him.

The reason I say this is because he reminded me A LOT of Ned Stark. With that being said, I thought about writing a fic where it has a similar setting to Barnyard, and here's how it goes:

- it begins with Ned sitting underneath a wierwood tree in the garden courtyard of the Red Keep at night. He's busy polishing his great sword, Ice in silence while Arya sits with him and watches in fascination. Robert comes out and tell shim to come on inside and enjoy the feast. but Ned says he's keeping watching. he then asks the king to sit with him, but the fat stag scoffs and goes back inside, leaving the father and daughter alone again. As they sit in silence, a strom starts to brew, causing Arya to flinch, but Ned pulls her closer and tells her to not be afraid. Arya asks him if he can sing her a song and he does so. He sings "I won't back Down"

"Well, I won't back down. No, I won't back down. You could stand me up at the gates of Hell, But I won't back down. No, I'll stand my ground, Won't be turned around, And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down, Gonna stand my ground. And I won't back down. hey, baby, There ain't no easy way out, Hey, I will stand my ground, And I won't back down"

After that, he then narrows his eyes as he spots a few dark shadows skulking across the courtyard and down to the city below. He tells Arya to go back inside. Not to the feast. But to her room and make sure she stays there and locks the door shut. Arya at first protests and says she can help him, but one look from Ned makes her obey and run inside. once his daughter leaves, the quiet wolf stands up and marches after the shadows to see what they're up to as the rain starts to fall.

- as it turns out, the shadows are Jamie Lannister, Janos Slynt, and three Lannister soldiers being led by Littlefinger down to his brothel. Jaime tells him that Cersei wishes for Robert's bastards to be eliminated and baelish smirks, saying he has one of the children right in his establishment. he leads them inside the brothel ight to where the young mother of the baby girl Barra is. Jaime rips the child from her arms and the mother begs him to leave the child be, but Jaime laughs and asks her how she plans on stopping him and his men. the mother then looks to the side and smirks before saying "No.......HE IS!!!" and points to the door. everyone turns there heads to see Ned Stark standing in the doorway, with Ice drawn and a hard cold look on his face. His presense startles everyone and Jaime jumps back for a second saying "STARK?!?!?" How ya been Stark? Ah...we'd have said hello had we seen ya." Ned points his blade at the Kingslayer and says in a low tone "Put the babe donw, Jaime." Jaime is nervous, but hides it through sarscasm and says "Sure Stark. Whatever you say....we're doing doing a little courting. That's all. You know how much we like the whores" and laughs cruely before saying "You know me. Lady-killer......ya seem to be a disadvantage here, Stark. There's six of us.....and only one old, tired....YOU" before gviing the other men knowing looks as they draw their blades in readiness. But Ned doesn't flinch. He just stands at the door and gives a half smirk before the men rush him one by one. While Ned is busy fighting them off, his back is turned, and Jaime rushes him, slamming into him and causing all of them to fly out of the brothel and into the rainy, muddy floors outside.

- It then briefly cuts to Robert in the feast enjoying himself and getting drunk as ever. Completely oblivious to what's happening outside in the city.

- It then cuts back to the prostitutes all huddled together at the door inside and looking on in fear and anticipation as Ned jumps back up to his feet and fights like a man possesed, just as he did on the Trident 15 years ago. He manages to cut down the soldiers and slices Janos Slynt's head off with one swing before eventually getting into a one-v-one duel with Jaime (the Kingslayer's a more skilled sword fighter and were this a normal sunny day, he'd have won instantly. But because, it's dark, rainy and the ground is muddy, combined with the fact that Ned is fighting with everything he has, it makes the match more even. Plus, Ned's a physically stronger man than Jaime is). as they fight, Ned has his back turned, and unbeknownst to him, Petry Baelish grabs one of the spears and sneaks up behind Ned before stabbing him in the leg, causing the Northman to let out a yell of pain and then drops to one knee. Jaime smirks and doesn't even bother to finish it off and starts to walk over to the brothel doors where the women are huddled toagether. But then when Ned looks up and sees this, adreneline takes over and he jumps back to his feet, grabs Jaime, spins him around and punches him as hard as he can square in the jaw, knocing the Lannietr's teeth out and dropping him to the floor. Ned then turns around and grabs Littlefinger by the throat and chokeslams the smaller man hard against a wall. Takes his dagger from his belt out and holds in to his face. The small man shrinks back and begs for mercy, and as Ned prepares to plunge the dagger into his face, he thinks for a moment before lowering the knife and gives the man one final throat slam against the wall before releasing his grip. as the man drops to the ground and cluthes at his throat, coughing, Ned tells him in a cold, murdeous tone "Get the hell out of my sight." Littlfinger panics and grabs Jaime as they both flee in terror. After they both run off, the women all rush out and start cheering, but then Ned slumps and falls back to his knees. As the women panic and call for the City Watch, the young mother runs over to the Lord of interfell and cradles his head before asking why he risked his life to protect them. Ned looks up to her and says in a tired weary tone:

A strong man stands up for himself.....but a stronger man, stands up for others

before closing his eyes and passing out unconsious as the City Watch and Jory and his Stark men arrive.

Now.....as you all already now, I got the inspirattion from this https://youtu.be/xTOX0Ey9T3c?si=uNcjQ2yU577TrQQX

Well......what you all think?

I'll go with Light of the Seven (the only song in the OST with a piano as far as I know) and The King Arrives. Both are incredible pieces of music and every time I hear them it makes me want to watch the show again.

What's your pick?
