Gotta say Jon being groomed for command is a little better than just being another ranger.

It's funny hearing you being concerned about not being able to remember all the names in GoT. Pretty much everybody struggles to remember all the names and alliances and whatnot when they first start watching. I remember when the series originally aired, the internet was full of charts and guides about who was who, how they were related, which houses were which, who they were aligned with, what they were up to, etc. because people struggled so much to keep it all straight. Even though the show does a pretty decent job of rolling it all out in chunks, it's still a lot and way more to keep track of than in most shows. All that being said, you're already doing better with the names than I did when I watched the first season. Btw, as you mentioned either in this intro or the previous one, I am sort of watching GoT again. When it first aired, my gf-at-the-time and I watched the first 5 or 6 seasons but then, for some reason, we never finished it (we might've broken up during that time and then I just never got back to the show; I don't remember). So, firstly, I'm having fun rewatching the seasons I saw back then but with more knowledge about the world, factions, and characters. It's allowing me to pick up on more subtleties than I did the first time. And, while I remember many of the bigger arcs and moments, there's a lot of stuff that I'd forgotten, so it's fun to refresh all that. Secondly, I'm looking forward to actually finishing the series this time. And it'll be especially cool because by the time we reach the last few seasons, it'll be as new for me as it is for you and we can enjoy it for the first time together.

i’m very late to finding your channel but i’m enjoying watching got with you both! a little (maybe not so) fun fact from this episode: that is a real stag that tywin is dressing at the beginning of the episode. what an introduction!

A lot of people really dislike Tywin Lannister. I always liked him. He seemed very tough, definitely did not care about anyone except his family members, but even so he seemed to have a better grasp of what ruling a kingdom means than any other character in the story. He recognized talents and encouraged people to use those talents under his direction. He seems like a good CEO: good to work for as long as you have some skill that's of value to him.

I noted you were struggling with the names. In the small council meeting that King Robert attended they named their informant who told them Daenerys was pregnant. They named Jorah Mormont, and Ned said he was not a trustworthy source. So by the time Jorah is getting his royal pardon sent by the Spider you already know he has been informing on Daenerys in the service of Robert Baratheon. That's why it's a pivotal scene when he saves her from being poisoned. That's when he commits to her as his queen. Nearly every word that's uttered is relevant to the story in the first season.

On the one hand I remember how I felt the first time watching this, that Ned was plotted against and betrayed by enemies all around him. However, after rewatching a few times I've observed that literally everyone gave Ned Stark advice that would have helped him get through this. Even at the last moment the queen would have let him return to the north, which originally was all he wanted, and remain there, probably still with the title Warden of the North. Ned didn't listen to anyone. It's like he had zero sense of self preservation.
