GAME OF THRONES

[Clang McFly]

Why reveal he's a Targaryen and then kill him?

...because the show's writers are absolutely, fuckin' mad. In a good way. They killed Ned for godssake. I cried. After they killed Ned I knew they'd kill anyone. They burned a child tied to a stake. They slit the throat of the beloved wife of Ned.

I loved it when they killed Joffrey. I may have even applauded.

Ned had to die. Arya and Sansa would still be living their innocent, ignorant secluded lives in Winterfell if he was still alive.
