Imagine being back in this position

My dad is recovering from an op so he has a lot of tv watching time and I have finally convinced him to start GoT today (after years of badgering!) He has just text me after watching the first episode saying 'is there dragons in this?' Oh, what I would give to be in his position and have no clue what is going to happen!! Has anyone else relived GoT through a new viewer?

This might come off as sadistic, but I feel like Walder Frey got too easy a death.

I highlight his death in particular for 2 reasons. 1, because he committed one of the bigger atrocities in the show. And 2, because I've seen nothing but praise for it.


Now I will concede, the praise is fair in the sense that him being fed his children thing was well done, and deserved. Which is enough to satisfy most. But here's my issue with it. There was a total of about 30 seconds between him realising what was in the pie, and his throat being slit. The man who had a bunch of the Stark bloodline wiped out barely had time to process that he was fucked before it was all over for him. He deserved worse. Ideally, he should have had the pie reveal and then being thrown in a dungeon, left to starve and dwell for 3-4 days then been offered more of the pie.


On a side note I also somewhat disagree that Cersei got too easy a death, which is another popular sentiment. Why? Because she had a good amount of time spent in absolute, all-encompassing terror as she waited for her life to come to an end. Infact shout out to Lena for her performance in this scene, the 'I don't want to die, please don't let me die', I feel like some people may become so desensitised to death scenes that they forget the sheer terror one would feel knowing their existence is about to be ended permanently and that there's not a thing they can do to stop it. So sure, it can definitely easily be argued that she deserved worse too after her crimes, but she at least had several minutes of anguish before it happened.

Hope this isn’t a stupid question but who ran kings landing while Robert was in winterfell in season 1?

Robert, his wife and family, all came to winterfell in season 1, which there and back would be at least 2 months. Considering they were going to ask Ned to be hand, there also wouldn’t have been a hand to the king in Kings landing. So who would have been in charge?
