Eddard Stark on Game of Thones

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword,” Eddard (Ned) Stark once said.
He was right, but his killers took a different, cowardly approach.

Though an absolute shock (for people who hadn’t read the books), the death of Ned (Sean Bean) skillfully set the table for all the carnage to come: If the hero of Game of Thrones could die, anyone could die. We kept watching through splayed fingers, hoping that at least the occasional wedding episode would provide a respite from the horrors.

Nope!
