The whole reason Ned never tells Cat about Jon is twofold. <br><br>1/ She can't ever accidentally or be forced to reveal the truth.<br>2/ Her attitude towards Jon is actually the best cover he could hope for. Questions might be asked why she didn't seem to mind having a bastard raised amongst her children, but instead its very obvious she scorns him - so he must be a bastard, surely?<br><br>Ned is also the kind of guy who shoulders burdens alone. And he also didn't know Cat at all before Jon was born - after all, rushed marriage after his brother died, etc etc. He didn't know he could trust her yet. And by the time he could the burden of the lie would have grown heavier and heavier.

The GoT intro is SO iconic that every time I watch an HBO show and appears the HBO logo I start humming the GoT intro automatically afterwards.

Sean Bean was such perfect casting his own Yorkshire accent became the accent for many other Northern characters.

100% about the Red Wedding being shocking, which I know, everyone says that. But I liked that you pointed out that we didn’t know that the 9th episode had to be huge. For people who were actually watching it weekly, the last ten minutes of that episode were almost like a nightmare in that afterwards my girlfriend and I just asked each other if that really happened. And yeah, this is a show that killed off its main character but the Red Wedding made it seem like it was killing off its main driving focus, which was rooting for the Starks to get their revenge. The white walkers were obviously interesting and mysterious, but emotionally the main focus was on justice for all the terrible things that the Lannisters had done. After that moment, you truly had no idea where the story was going and that was so exciting.

They really should’ve kept the Tysha reveal at the end of S4 instead of spending like 3 minutes, talking about Orson Lannister smashing beetles

Ned barely knew Cat when they got married except as the girl who was engaged (and in love) with his brother. He had no reason to believe she wouldn't tell anyone or if she could keep the secret, plus, Cat would have probably demanded that he send Jon away anyway, this is a huge ticking bomb to have hovering over your newly started family.

It's been 6 years, but the way this series ended STILL upsets me. Littlefinger always knowing everything, but getting murdered by the little goblin? Jamie just loosing his honor, Jon "I don' want it", Tyrion choosing freaking BRAN!!! Bran, who barely seems aware and...ugh,I just hate it!!!
