Angel Eyes Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ned had asked Joffrey to take his head personally? After all, "he who passes the sentence should swing the sword." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon the Leaner Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Well, that's pretty obvious than Ned was totally caught-off at the moment. The show makes clear than Ned is disturbed by the light contrast between the black cells and the Sept, so we can assume that all of his senses were lagging there, lol. I think he didn't even realize what was happening until Payne drew his sword. But yes, it could have been cool if Ned asked Joff to swing the sword. In my opinion, Joff would likely not do it, the coward much too fears the blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Eyes Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 So is that why he likes crossbows? Just don't introduce him to Yoren: "I've always hated crossbows. Take too long to load!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordant Jester Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I kind of like how this scene was handled, being from a 3rd party point of view, witnessing a degraded Ned. You just get these sense that he was disoriented being in the black cells and being driven half mad. Then mustering strength to speak loudly while getting hit with rocks. So its well done that you kind of see him dying weakened and without his wits amongst a near riot for the most part. Just kind of sudden and primal.

The hairy bear Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 To cut one head in a single stroke requires a lot of strength and ability. Since it was Valyrian steel, Joffrey might have been able to lift Ice, but no more. In Ned's position, you'd want you execution to be as swift and painless as possible. Having it done by Joffrey would ensure the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoenerys Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 ^^^Exactly. Joffrey doing it would've lead to him having a horrific death. I doubt he would want his children to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
