While I was totally unspoiled for this, I assumed Ned was going to die simply because he was played by Sean Bean! I suspect Catelyn's request for Robb's consent was more because he's an adult and she's shoring up the other men's respect for him - no-one seemed to be asking the boy that Arya is meant to marry! And Shae was wonderfully refreshing - Tyrion cuts through other people's bullshit but has a fine line in it himself, but she cuts through that. So does Bronn.

Jon gets schooled AGAIN! How much more schooling does the boy need? I mean, it's great exposition, but wow he's a self-absorbed thickie.
