Ideally Littlefinger would have prefferred Ned accepts his suggestion and takes over as Joffrey's Hand reagent to rule and place Littlefinger as his partner. When Ned refused and insisted on Stannis then that had the opposite effect. Littlefinger knew Stannis would likely remove him from power and bring his own hand picked advisors. I always assumed that the reason Littlefinger's betrayed Ned because Ned married the girl that Littlefinger's loved. Ned mentions that he promised his wife that he would help him and I assumed that was because his wife saved his life from that duel. I didnt read the book and I thought this was case. edit: format | ||

Now he has the chance to work with Ned, or to work with the Lannisters. Which do you think he could prosper under? Ned hates Littlefinger for his lack of honour, something he tells Littlefinger to his face. Petyr asked Ned to work with him and was laughed at - at that moment Littlefinger will have calculated the potential future under Ned's regency. Not a lot of opportunity for fudging books and skimming a little profit for himself. Ned is far too rigid for that, and this conversation proves it. Instead he has the chance to betray Ned and pretty much continue as he did under Robert, but under his Queen and the young king instead. The potential for power and profit was much greater under the Lannisters than it ever could have been under Ned. For me, that was the primary motivation. | ||

Ned's goal is to get Stannis on the throne because he is the rightful heir, but nobody wants Stannis on the throne, seeing as he will pick an entirely new council and will get vengence against all those who were allies with the Targaryens (Littlefinger goes into more detail on this in the book). | ||

If you understand the dagger plotline, then you understand Littlefinger. In retrospect, the storyline behind the dagger is kind of unrealistic (book spoiler). Littlefinger comes off as way too much of a Chessmaster archetype, to the point it is unbelievable simply due to the events that occur which are completely out of his control (Varys being a counterpoint in that he actively attempts to involve himself into the events he masterminds). | ||

Ned never intended to rule, he was going to hand the throne over to Stannis as soon as possible and return to Winterfell once Stannis named a new Hand. | ||

Got done with episode 6. + Show Spoiler + Karma just took a giant shit on Viserys. But I was expecting that scene to be more gory, the stuff is basically like candle wax. I mean he screams for like a second and thats it. | ||

I would love to join the discussion of the series, but I read the books. I know I will accidentally spoil a plot point, and I want y'all to get shocked when certain scenes come up. | ||

I've been in a small room with a Maori doing the Haka, and I was terrified of him even though I knew it was coming and he's the nicest guy in the world. I can only imagine what it must have been like for the casters. Well played, sir. Well played. | ||

EDIT: just to be explicit : the praetorian guard often killed the caesar if deemed unfit or if a better candidate was making a better offer. This is not the Praetorian Guard; the Kingsguard is sworn to give their lives for the protection of the king. This is why Jaime is so universally reviled, even though he technically did the right thing. | ||

He died instantly, and the molten gold cauterized his flesh, just what did you expect? Don't spoiler events that have aired on TV please. | ||

Love to see the book come to life for real in that episode. I started reading the books after seeing the first episodes and now i am way ahead of the tv-series but can still enjoy it. | ||
