Saw the episode - cool stuff. I wish that Dire Wolf would have at least nipped at that Lannister jerk in the cell. Question... why were those soldiers killing the babies and those other fellas? Were they after the guy with the bull helmet who was sneaking away with the Stark girl dressed as a boy?
mark, if jamie dies...so does sansa. they were killing robert's bastards.
100% correct BAM!
The Starks can not kill or otherwise harm Jaime because whatever happens to Jaime happens to Sansa.
In the book it's Cersei who orchestrates the child killing, as much as out of a final revenge on her husband as for realpolitik. In the show it's unclear as to whether it's Cersei or Joffrey but it doesn't much matter, I guess. The goal is to eliminate any future contenders for the throne and to prevent people from noticing or talking about the fact that ALL of Robert's children are dark haired and not blonde like Joffrey and his siblings who were born from incest.
The fellow with the bull helmet is one of Robert's older illegitimate children, Gendry, and is said to be the spitting image of Robert, which is why the Lannisters are extremely interesting in killing him.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
