I'm not sure how they'll do it, but it should be interesting, and I hope that the scenes will be pleasant ones.

Spoiler Alert!



















To read, use mouse to highlight the yellow text.





There is a scene in the book where Ned appears to little Rickon down in the crypt where a space is reserved for his bones just as a raven arrives at Wintefell with the news.  They will probably do something with that.

Free Beer! The Stars of Game of Thrones Pick Their Sigil, Issue Royal Edicts


Quote
Sean Bean as Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark, aka "The Hand"
Sigil: Two crossed swords because it represents my football team, Sheffield United. That's their badge. The team has been relegated, by the way.
First ruling: Sheffield United gets promoted next season.

Great review.  And I agree with this statement - "Sean was the backbone of this story. Now the challenge will be seeing it without him."
He made the series.  It will be interesting to see how season two goes without him.

Sean is the only reason that I starting watching this show, and it will leave a big void for me to no longer have Ned in the story.  But I have also become interested in some of the other characters, and I plan to continue watching. On the Television Without Pity website, many people were totally shocked by Ned's death and some say that they won't watch any more. Whether or not the show will hold my interest now remains to be seen.  I would like to know what happens with all of Ned's children.  I like the character of Tyrion, he is amusing and seems to be a pretty good guy.  I would also like to know the fate of Dany.  So, I'll keep watching, but it sure won't be the show that I looked forward to each week.

How "Game of Thrones" slew all comers
The HBO drama's patient approach to storytelling pays off with one of the best first seasons ever

Quote
I wouldn't be surprised if people started quoting "Game of Thrones" characters the way they quote "The Godfather," "The Art of War" or "The Prince" -- by way of illuminating life's crueler truths.

I was just wondering about that one picture that Patch posted showing Ned being stragled in the thrones room. It's
a little strange that they never used it. Will it be shown next year as a dream or a flashback of Brandon's death ?

Yes, I'll certainly miss my weekly Bean fix too.  I looked forward so much to seeing him each week.  Of course I have some of his movies on dvd that I can watch whenever I want, but this was something new, and something with more character development than you might get from a movie.

I wonder how many people here will continue to watch when the second season begins?

I didn't watch it in the first place just because Sean was in it.  The books are my sort of thing and I was excited about the series before Sean was even cast.  Good television is good television regardless of who is in it.  Its rare that we get quality television these days.

Well I didn't watch the last episode. Without Sean as Ned it's hard for me to care about the show. Sean's just to good at bringing
characters to life. Ned was the heart and spirit of this story. Without him the show is dead and cold. I can alway's read the books
if I must find out more about the Stark's and what happens to them. Ned was the hardest role in the series. He was NOT
interesting, witty, charming , talkative, definitely NOT the life of the party, NOT happy, or positive and DIDN'T get the best lines.
Actually Ned was dull and boring. Most actors would not be able to make us feel anything for this character!! But Sean made
Ned REAL!!! So HUMAN!! And a great FATHER and FRIEND!!! It's impossible NOT to LOVE HIM and NOT to miss HIM!!!!

Yes I want to know what happens with the little dragons but I also want to know if Jon Snow's mother will be reveled.  So I read the first book before GOT started now I will go get the second one.  Although they do not have to be true to the books it does help a little with all the family ties.
