Rewatching Season 1 of GoT...Caitlyn Stark observation

it upset her most that Jon was the most like Ned and not any of her kids.

She did a lot of stupid shite that endangered her family, especially taking Tyrion.

And she was such a count to Jon Snow...

I never warmed up to her because of this.

I didnt realize how big of a bitch she was the first time I watched.

Yeah, she sucked pretty hard. I noticed that when I rewatched it as well.

One thing that stood out to me, and I've said this before, about season one is how awesome it is because it's so narrowly focused compared to the show in later seasons up to now. There were only a few things going on, so a lot of time was spent on each story. And I think the show excelled because of that.

The Starks are all basically a shite show, but a lovable shite show.

For Ned and Robb, doing what was "right" gets them and their loved ones killed. For Catelyn, trying to do what is "smart" gets her and her loved ones killed. Sansa's immaturity and naivety sets a lot of the wheels in Motion. Arya's impulsiveness and unruly behavior sets some wheels in motion. Bran should have listened to mama, and Rickon is just a crazy little fricker.

I almost added to the OP that Cersei and Cat basically were the cause of all the conflict.

But saying Cersei is a bitch is like saying the sky is blue.

I can't remember; who did Caitlyn love before Ned? Did she actually want Littlefinger or was it only the other way around?

**********Spoilers if you haven't caught up on the TV Show***********










Her death was a notch below Jofferys in the satisfaction scale

The first time I watched I only watched her as a woman trying to protect her family.


But upon further review she over extended herself and really made some poor descisions.

Ned needed to keep his bitch on a leash.


I am starting to think Jon Snow's mom's name was "Winter"


And Cat hearing the family motto all the time drove her insane.

Yeah, it was pretty evident in the books and maybe not so much in the shows that Catelyn felt more of a duty to Ned in marriage than she felt love for him.

Catelyn clearly loves Ned.

I actually like her character in the sense that we are supposed to get aggravated with her because she does what one would expect a mother to do - act impulsively to protect her family.

She and Cersei are very similar in that regard.
