****ing hell. Would it really have killed them to cut down on Sam's puking to add in two guys and dialogue for the Tower of Joy?

As someone who didn't read the books, who are these two other characters and what did they say that you feel is so important?

They were seven, facing three. In the dream as it had been in life. Yet these were no ordinary three. They waited before the round tower, the red mountains of Dorne at their backs, their white cloaks blowing in the wind. And these were no shadows; their faces burned clear, even now. Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, had a sad smile on his lips. The hilt of the greatsword Dawn poked up over his right shoulder. Ser Oswell Whent was on one knee, sharpening his blade with a whetstone. Across his white-enameled helm, the black bat of his House spread its wings. Between them stood fierce old Ser Gerold Hightower, the White Bull, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. “I looked for you on the Trident,” Ned said to them. “We were not there,” Ser Gerold answered. “Woe to the Usurper if we had been,” said Ser Oswell. “When King’s Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.” “Far away,” Ser Gerold said, “or Aerys would yet sit the Iron Throne, and our false brother would burn in seven hells.” “I came down on Storm’s End to lift the siege,” Ned told them... and the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne dipped their banners, and all their knights bent the knee to pledge us fealty. I was certain you would be among them.” “Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne. “Ser Willem Darry is fled to Dragonstone, with your queen and Prince Viserys. I thought you might have sailed with him.” “Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell. “But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. “The Kingsguard does not flee.” “Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. He donned his helm. “We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold. Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. They were seven against three. “And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light. “No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. “Now it ends.” As they came together in a rush of steel and shadow, he could hear Lyanna screaming. “Eddard!” she called. A storm of rose petals blew across a blood-streaked sky, as blue as the eyes of death.

It's far better that they reused the same lines they gave Mance for Arthur Dayne.

So doesn't Hightower still have to be there? Is he in the room as the final guard?
I guess if out honest Ned lied about killing Dayne for an unknown reason yet revealed, then it could ne the same for Hightower?

Calling my shot for the record, the biggest reveal was that Bran can be heard in the past. He will change the future by telling someone something that causes the future to change.

He didn't lie about killing him. He clearly did. Even in the books he acknowledges he wouldn't have been able to do the deed WITHOUT Howland Reed. Perhaps Noble Ned was both giving credit to Reed and protecting his honor by never bringing up how he stabbed a Kingsguard in the back with a dagger?

After seeing that shit, no one would stand a chance. Not Barristan, not The Mountain, not Oberyn, not Drogo.. **** me. I really didn't expect them to make him a dual wielder. Which sword was supposed to be Dawn? |
