Yep. I thought going with JonCon was a good decision. Connington was defeated by Baratheon, but in other circumstances he would have potentially been a successful Hand. Now older, more experienced, JonCon is smart, capable, wise, and more serious. Only his condition (Greyscale) may lead him to make rash decisions, if he feels he’s running out of time.

Oh, definitely. But the length of Ice, in Ned’s hands… at some point the tip is dragging or getting stuck in the ground, and Ned is getting killed by some random jabroni. It’s absurdly large, and Ned isn’t.

If Ice is a large as depicted in art and the show, there is no way a man Eddard’s size could have wielded it in battle. I think for anyone holding a smaller VS sword, you’d be insane to go into combat without it. Remember Brienne’s thoughts about fighting with Oathkeeper? The weight of the blade was like pressing turbo in Street Fighter, a cheat code. I do hope to see Blackfyre or Dark Sister pop up.

I agree with this, 100 percent. The mass slaughter during the tournament in King’s Landing was too much to begin with. The idea of two lords baring steel in presence of the crown princess, inside Storm’s End, is ridiculous. Where is the law? Where is the King’s justice?

Robb is taller and more broad in the shoulders than Jon, and Jon might be Eddard 2.0. I think we get thrown for a loop because Joffrey is tall, like his father. Also, a lot from the early chapters gets retconned as GRRM fleshes out his characters.
