See, this is bizarre to me, because hello, Ned was played by Sean Bean! His characters are 85 percent tragic/flawed/doomed guys. And Ned had made, you know, 35 or 40 critical errors in a row. The axe was going to fall eventually.

Meanwhile, Tyrion's new lady is absurdly hot. Hot hot hot. Apparently the woman playing her (a very good, award winning German actor) did some porno back in the day...I can't say I'm not a little tempted to try to track that down.
