Stop calling dads incompetent
Advertising that depicts men as being clueless insults those who are involved and active fathers. It also creates a escape route for those who want to shirk childcare and domestic responsibilities.

*may be spoilers*
I have just gotten into this series and finished season 1 last night and I have to get this out. Why did they have to kill off Karl and Ned Stark  I was really liking those characters and they didn't even make it to the next season, I was glad when a couple of people died Viserys Targaryen just annoyed me so glad he is gone but why oh why did Eddard Stark have to go, stupid stupid show lol.

I like to think they killed off Ned because there just isn't a comparable "gaspworthy" moment that I can recall in recent tv.
DH and I sat in a heavy silence for a good 30 seconds after that episode until it was broken by a not so silent..... "Well f*** me" And yes, I know it is an adaptation of a book, but I didn't read until the season 1 withdrawal kicked in, and I honestly think the tv show captured the moment of his demise better than the book. As for Khal, that's simply a device to kick the story along. |

I hadn't read the book but was expecting Ned to lose his head. I kept hoping that he wouldn't but in my heart of hearts I knew it was going to happen |

They killed Ned Stark because it's in Sean Bean's contract that he be killed off in every TV show/movie.
Ok that's really not true but there are very few shows he doesn't end up dead in  There's even a YouTube deathreel of Sean Bean dying.

GRR Martin is pretty um well profligate with the killing. It's not worth getting attached to any characters.
LOL at the Jon Snow post though. |
