Game of Thrones Season 1 Episode 5: The Wolf and The Lion

Things are getting more intense with every episode of Game of Thrones, we saw how Tyrion Lannister was seized by Lady Stark’s men. She will take the imp to the Errie because she believes Tyrion was the one who wants Bran dead. This will later be taken by the Lannisters as an act of war. But before we go on with the Lannister’s next move, it was also shown to us that even though Ned allowed Arya to have a sword lecture, he is still worried about the little lady’s future I suppose he’s got a feeling that Arya’s boyish act will put her in trouble someday.

Enough with the previous episode let’s now move on to the fifth episode of Game of Thrones season 1. During this episode, Lady Stark’s way to the her sister’s house has been dangerous, they had faced a dangerous encounter with the hill tribes on the their road to the Errie and some of her armed men got killed because the attack went unexpected. This is also the first time where Tyrion had his first kill and the main reason for that is more likely to stop one hill tribe member from attacking Lady Stark.

Meanwhile, Lord Varys warned Ned that he should look after himself because there is a lot of noble men in the capitol who is keeping an eye on him and wants him fall down from being the king’s hand. He was also told that he needs to save King Robert from danger but what’s not so surprising is that it was later made known to us viewers that Lord Barris is also planning Ned’s death alongside with the man from the narrow seas. This scourging hot first season of Game of Thrones will be more intense on April 1^st. If you don’t know why then let me tell you that on that very particular day, we can watch Game of Thrones season 2 episode 1. But that date is more than one month away from now. Anyway, back on our first topic, the plans of killing Ned was heard by Arya so she hurried back to the palace to warn her father about it. While a man who introduced himself as a man from the nights watch told Lord Stark that his wife is taking the imp. Later Ned has been called out for a meeting with the king to talk about Daenerys Targaryan’s pregnancy. King Robert ordered Ned to kill the Targaryan lady and her unborn child to secure the realm but Ned refused to do it and he had an argument with the King. He was then reminded that he should do as he was told for he is the hand of the king but Ned insisted that he don’t want to take any part of murdering Daenerys and her child, he gave back the sign of the hand of the king to Robert and declared his leaving the position. This made the king so devastated over him.

But the most thrilling part of Game of Thrones season 1 episode 5 was the last part of course where Ned and Jamie had a serious sword encounter I can see that Lord Stark is giving a good fight only that one of Jamie’s soldier attacked Ned from behind. That’s a real shame over there. Anyway, since I’m now talking about the last part, I guess this is the end of my post for today. We’ll discuss more about the 6^th episode tomorrow. Chow!
