I don't think it was the fact that he died, but the way it happened. We all remember The Wire, where not one but TWO of the most sympathetic and identifiable characters meet their demise relatively early on.
Joffrey said he was going to spare him if Ned confessed, and he did, and then he kills him anyway? What kind of bullshit is that? I KNEW Ned was going to die after the boar incident, and I never read the books, but I was totally assuming he was going to stand up there, reveal the secret of Joffrey's heritage, be a defiant dick, and get the axe. I didn't think he was going to take the plea bargin and die right on the spot.

I know everyone's talking only about the final scene, but I have to say I was really pleased with the Maester Aemon Targaryen reveal. Not only was it well done dramatically, but his monologue that made the connection with/foreshadowed Ned's "confession" at the end was so powerful. another excellent cast!

Yeah i love it as well. His face showing anger when telling it, and Jon's look kind of a mixed look between terror about finding it and understanding what he had to do.

in the comments a number of people say they are done with the show now lol and blame the producers. Be careful of spoilers in the comments.

How are they going to blame the producers? its based on the books. Ned dies in the first book, there's not much the producers can do about it. :>

This guy's youtube reviews have been posted a couple times after the episode has aired but this is a particularly hilarious one:

BTW, the best is if you watch his 10 minute reaction to the ending in the video description... He gets up and you hear him throwing stuff in the background... Its quite hilarious.

Also to the poster above. May the banhammers have mercy on your soul lest you pledge to edit that post right now!

Hahaha I agree.

Here it is:

"Hail King Joffrey Baratheon, the First of his Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, slayer of traitors and champion of Justice. Justice is his maiden, and together they two ensure even the high born feel the sting of rightful execution. May he reign for an epoch, and may his seed spring forth heirs of similar fortitude.

The King is dead. Long live the King."

You know what I find really hilarious? It's that smug look Joffrey has when EVERYBODY is telling him to stop, even Varys runs over. And Joff just has the most awesome, smug, villainous smirk.

another great comment, from the SA thread

Theon: Shot another one down.
Robb: What did the message say?
Theon: It said stop shooting down our ravens.

What really got me was how as I was watching, I was just waiting for someone to come and rescue him. Some raven with news that the stark's army has the kings song or something, but nada. They just slayed him. Really jaw dropping good piece of writing.

I think a big problem people have is they think this story is about 1 person. While Eddard is a great character, I see him as more of a vehicle to bring this story to life. I'm sure his death will have vast implications on the state of the realm. I guess a Lannister doesn't always keep his word.

Too many people talk about how important characters die all the time and no one is safe, so most of the surprise factor was lost on me...still sad though.

They chose the actor of Boromir for a reason.
