I just really love the foreshadowing in this show. Like how Jamie is enthusiastic to finally fight a worthy opponent but all his excitement got ruined in the end because of that soldier who stabbed Ned in the leg. It kinda foreshadows how excited we were at the beginning of the show to see how it ends and then season 8 stabbed us in the back and that enthusiasm was there no more.
Lord Stark had no idea about Tyrion’s imprisonment, and yet his very first reaction is to defend his wife and take responsibility for his family’s action. Ned is such a truly honorable person and one of the only real “family-men” in the show
Unlike what Howland Reed did in that fight;this one was dishonorable.The tower of joy was a fight to the death and Arthur was about to kill Ned(Howland’s friend and liege lord).Here Ned isn’t about to kill Jaime.
@@juliohenrique8546 How is it karma? ned was ready to die to Arthur but his friend saved him it's not like ned planned or even wanted it lol I fully believe he'd rather die than have a man he admired to such a high level die that way.
everyone talking about how jamie and ned fight but lets not forget that the second Ned claims to capture Tyrion, Jamie went from grin to serious and drew his blade. His love for Tyrion is honestly his best redeeming featurw
You'd think the fact that people who followed the show for literally a decade, therefore aged a decade, would have become less whiny and bitch like as they got older. Yeah, no.
I love this scene so much because you can tell exactly where the two characters are. Jaime HATES Ned for not seeing his side in the killing of the mad king and this was supposed to be his revenge for it, where he "bests" Ned to prove who the better man is. Except he doesn't get this chance, because one of his men stabs Ned through the leg in a cowardly move. And when Ned looks up at him Jaime can tell exactly what he's thinking, "fucking cowardly Lannisters" and he's right, and Jaime is infuriated by no end to this because once again even though Ned is the one on the ground he's still the one with the moral high ground from an honor perspective. Fucking love it.
And, the thing is, it seemed like Jaime WASN'T going to best him. Jaime looked to be fighting will all of his effort, and Ned was matching that, stroke for stroke. The only reason he was groaning wasn't because he was struggling or fatigued, but he was groaning out of anger and the loss of Jory and the others. Also, notice all these dozens of people standing on the balconies like, "DAMN!!" totally surprised that an old man who hasn't fought in twenty years or more is beating the LEGENDARY Jaime Lannister, who has been fighting all his life. 🤣
@StarkBytes The canon story surrounding the fight was that Ned defeated Arthur Dayne in single combat. Ned never could have done so, but that is the story they were fed and only the few knights and nobles who saw Dayne and knew how deadly he was would ever be able to dispute it.
@@LaughOutFrikinLoud Yeah, Jaime wouldn't believe it but he'd never know for sure until he saw Ned fight. He had no idea what Ned was capable of so he wanted to see it for himself and confirm his suspicions that Ned couldn't ever have defeated Dayne in single combat.
I’ve always loved how Jaime’s expression at :43 suggests he’s actually surprised and outraged by Ned saying he commanded Tyrion’s capture. He was all ready to do a duel of words like so many do in King’s Landing - never admitting anything - but the northern honesty catches him off guard. You can really see that in his expression.
It’s not even honesty. It’s a lie to protect his wife. The shock is more likley from the fact that Jaime wouldn’t have expected the honorable Ned to have seized his brother so blatantly. However due to his reputation Jaime instantly beleives him.
a more accurate thing would be to say "Usually people talk in riddles and half truths. Ned flat out saying 'I ordered Tyrion to be captured' leaves no room for interpretation." Yes its a lie to protect his wife, but he is being honourable. He knows Jamie is a better fighter. He knows the numbers are against him. Jamie has vigour, age, stamina, the men. Ned knows he might die here (and would of if that guard didnt stab his thigh ruining Jamie's hate boner). He hopes Tywin would be merciful IF they ever went after Tyrion.
I’ve always loved that moment but for a different reason, I love how he immediately pulls his sword out in defense of Tyrion. He seems visibly pissed and it shows how protective he is of his little brother.
Sunbro Adresse you don’t know that for sure, people can survive them wounds, and ya know he was kinda healed by the most prestigious maesters considering it’s Kings Landing...plus the point still stands considering Ned was killed like 2 or 3 eps later
@@oelaty9116 leg wounds are as deadly as many other wounds to the body. It's extremely hard to stop the blood if you get pierced in the leg cause of all the big arteries and bone shards. That's why cops don't shoot people's legs.
Bruce Xu sure, maybe you know more that kind of stuff than me, but I still think the comment I replied to is kinda stupid considering Ned died literally 2-3 eps later, if we focus too much on realism shows become boring, but now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cop shoot someone in the leg, even in movies
Sunbro Adresse in the books if I remember correctly he injured his leg by a horse falling on him and snapping his leg. Not sure if that proves anything but it’s worse and easy to survive with help nearby
He probably has the entire City Watch using his brothel's service, imagine having to disturb some guardsmen from sex because "Kingslayer is starting a public fight" a bunch of sexually frustrated men rushing to get their armor on to chase away even a Lion
I dont think Ned even believed he was calling the city watch everyone knows he was a scheming little shit 😂 Ned just didnt realise how much of a schemer he was til he betrayed him
Or Jamie would already have an army at Winterfeld's gates after finding out his brother was taken, and then head back to King's Landing to get a scolding from his father, only to head back to Winterfeld in time for a battle. May be check out the Wall along the way too.
In the series perhaps. In the books his aunt and uncle(s) have a certain measure of respect for him - Tywin even had a bust up with his sister because she observed that out of his three children it was Tyrion who took after him the most (in terms of temperament/intellect).
@@harrywhitehead7442 in the boks Tywin realy despise Tyrion, because his whife mother of tyrion) died when he was born, HE complemented him one or twice but he disrespect him for real, Tywin loves and respect only Jaime even when he knows about him and Cersei sory fr my english im from western europe)
@@Will-nn3pb his arrest is the focal point of the conflict, and all because of Littlefingers manipulation of Catelyn. Using her suspicion of the Lannisters and the "knowledge" that Tyrion hired an assassin to kill Bran
I love Jaime’s interest in Ned. Since his King-slaying, Jaime has this terrible yearning for honour, something Ned Stark is known for. This manifests as a sort of desire to prove himself to Ned. First he tries to win that approval in their conversation about the mad king and then when Ned puts him down, he tries to prove it by beating him in combat. This is why the soldiers dishonourable backstabbing of Ned so angers Jaime. Just means yet again, he doesn’t get that honourable victory. This irony is that Ned’s own famous defeat of Arthur Dayne was in fact eerily similar.
Additionally this insecurity of Jaime’s drives his friendship and empathy for Brienne of Tarth. They are two sides of the same ‘wanna-be noble knight’ coin. Both struggle to gain the respect and noble deeds of other famous knights, mostly due to ill fortune.
Ned never claimed to have defeated Ser Arthur Dayne in single combat, he openly admitted that he was saved by Reed, also we don't know if the battle at the Tower of Joy will end in the books the same way as the show, really hoping it doesn't
Jaime has a thing for seeking approval of older and respected warriors. He also wanted to be respected by Blackfish in the books and in his thoughs it was stated how much he admired him. To Ned was something similar, he always claimed that he didnt care what they think but he constantly remembers every encounter and the words they gave to him.
in my opinion, I mean I've rewatched the show maybe like 3-4 times, every season was a masterpiece except season 5. Season 5 was not the best except the last 3 episodes. Season 5 episode 8 being my favorite of the whole series. But whenever I wanna watch game of thrones for fun, its always gonna be season 6 or season 1@@cameronturk4388
I love Jaime’s grin, how he’s acknowledging Ned’s skill and reveling in meeting a worthy opponent. Also love his sense of fair-play when he’s furious at the soldier’s interference.
I mean, the shows makes it as same level type of fight but in reality Jaime lannister is the greatest warrior alive and this I said and written by the author, Ned stark does not come near jaime's lvl he does not need to prove a point, he does not see a worthy opponent on Ned head but the scene is epic tho
@@ryandunnlives with the help of Howland Reed who is infamous for using poisoned weapons that make you shit out your organs… So yeah Ned is just an above average swordsman.
How long had it been since he swung a sword at someone who could actually swing back? For the first time in probably twenty years he was being legitimately pressured and actually having to work for it. And then someone stole that from him. Twenty years since he fought the Smiling Knight, twenty years since he trained under Arthur Dayne, he's _finally_ in a real fight again and then the joy is stolen from him. I'm surprised he let the spearman live.
@@techsilver7761 yeah i thought it was dumb mostly because it will be hard for the audience to quantify the damage to jamie being starved, numb and tied up and it makes him look weaker then he is, kinda same with the hound vs brienne
well Ned is also quite ill at this moment, which brings up that the gap between him and Jaime, in their prime and full health, would probably be alot smaller than Jaime realizes, not to say Ned would win, but Ned is secretly one of the better fighters in the world, just not in the "legendary" top 5 status.
@@keithfilibeck2390 In the show, absolutely. Ser Barristan says he's seen Ned kill a dozen great knights. And I agree with you, in the show, he's very low key about his abilities since he intends to use them for real situations when he doesn't want anyone to know what he can do and immediately get the upper hand. Hard to do that in tournaments. Ned doesn't have the ego problem Jamie and the other great fighters do so it's not a problem for him
You can tell that Jaime had been looking for this for a long time. Not only he hated Ned for giving him shit about killing Aerys, Ned was also responsible for the death of Arthur Dayne, who was Jaime's mentor and idol. He had this chance not only to getting some sort of payback, but also taking out the frustration of Ned seeing him as a dishonorable craven. That's why he was pissed when the fight was interrupted. Jaime wanted to beat Ned fair and square, only for some dumbass grunt to take it upon himself to attack Ned from behind. Jaime knows immediately that from that moment, Ned will forever remember him as a dirty coward.
@@korawitbuttramee618 i also think jaime had doubts about ned killing dayne in 1 on 1 combat since ned is just above the average well trained knight & dayne was virtually a god with a OP sword so it didnt really add up, to jaime this 1v1 probably proved that ned didnt beat dayne since dayne would shit all over jaime yet ned doesnt get close to killing jaime.
@@Zephyr01 IMO, it's ultimately irrelevant. Ned is an inferior swordsman to both Dayne and Jaime, but the fact remains that he emerged victorious from Tower of Joy and Dayne wasn't. In fact, knowing Ned could never beat Dayne in a fight yet he won in the end could be the factor that frustrates Jaime more than anything.
Damn i love that moment where Ned is just staring at Jamie after he gets stabbed in the leg. They both know that this wasn't the way it was supposed to go, and Jamie Fucking knocks the guy out who stole his one on one duel with a man he has issues with. The fact that Jamie got so upset over having a man he hates be bested by a cheap shot instead of by fair combat shows that he still respected Ned despite his anger. The writing for this show used to be so good
I haven't read the books, but I have read a lot of UA-cam comments, and people more knowledgeable than me have posited that Jamie probably admired Ned. He was deeply hurt that Ned called him King Slayer after the rebellion, and he was upset that Ned wouldn't listen to his side of the story about the mad King.
He ruined Jaimes fun by sticking Ned with the spear Ned is and always was a man of honour Jamie killed the King who had both Neds father and older brother burned alive yet he still hates Jamie for killing the king
@@DanRyzESPUKI feel like cerci would still get someone killed over Tyrion tho. She was mean to him but she was mean to pretty much everybody and she had a opportunity to kill Tyrion towards the end and it was revealed she didn’t hate him that much
Tfw you realize that the first White Walker Jon killed (When he discovered that Valyrian Steel didn't shatter on touch with the White Walkers' weapons) lasted longer than the Night King did in a fight.
At 2:00 exactly you can see the joy on Jaimes face he had heard all about how Ned was the one who killed Arthur Dayne and has been waiting to see Ned fight because Jaime didn’t believe Ned or anyone could beat Arthur in a fight. But that slash by Ned came close to slicing Jaime and you see the realization in his eyes that Ned is actually a great swordsman and that means there is a real chance he might have beat Arthur something Jaime thought impossible and now he gets to fight Ned too
In the Books because people thought Ned could best Arthur Dayne he trained after that point relentlessly to be able to keep up with the reputation of being someone who could've taken on Arthur Dayne.
@@DerechteWutz Now that's right. Ned can't take 1 spear to his leg.Boromir took 5 arrows on his chest to complete his quest and to protect halflings.Died in honour.
You have to give it to Jaime, as soon as Ned says he’s responsible for taking Tyrion he doesn’t even let Ned finished, he draws his sword ready to fight with an angry face! Jaime did loved Tyrion.
I hear you man. People are saying that Jaime became likeable only after he lost his hand, but to me Jaime was sorta good guy from the start. He just the guy who sincerely puts his family First and Foremost and it's relatable to me. And he does this not out of some sort of abstract "principles" like Tywin, but because of his Love to every member of his family. Heck, the man even cared about Joffrey to some extent. Now look how his face instantly changes from smug smirk to a "you are now fucking asking for this, you dead meat"-face when Ned confirmes that Tyrion was captured - Jaime is so unspeakably mad that he doesn't even recognize the reason in "If you kill me - your brother dies", he just want to gut the man who dared to lay a finger on his brother. Dam, chills.
Absolutely. One of the compelling points about Jaime is that his loyalty to his family would be considered highly noble if his family weren't scumbags. The only time it's truly showed positively in the books is with his devotion towards protecting Tommen. It is interesting that he didn't care at all about Joffrey though.
@@YungJaime73 yeah Jaime wasn’t blind like his sister to Joffery’s madness. He would never let a Lannister get hurt on his watch if he can stop it, but his watch with Joffrey was less vigorous than with other Lannister’s
@@YungJaime73 What Gallowglass said. In the books, Jaime actually cuts Brienne off from saying Joffrey is his son and says that as far as he (Jaime) is concerned, Joffrey was no more than "a squirt of seed in Cersei's cunt."
Things I love about this scene is the small details. 1) Jaime's expression throughout proves that (at this point) he clearly relishes 1 on 1 skill driven combat. From his efforts to engage in a duel, to his disappointment when it's abruptly ended by an outside party. 2) Ned is clearly less skilled, but in turn is slightly stronger, as seen when both swords are locked, and Jaime is on the defensive; somewhat leveling the playing field. 3) Ned is sluggish, with heavier strikes, most likely to his experience with weapons such as Ice. Jaime however treats sword fighting as more of a dance, flourishing where possible, displaying his skill through intimidating arrogance with actual backing. Back when things weren't being rushed in order to collect some Disney Star Wars money, this show was truly something to behold.
SwiftSabre Jaime’s fighting style was very elegant and graceful he preferred skilled rather than power. Ned was fierce not doubt and used more power than grace or skill. Jaime was best swordsman in seven kingdoms Ned was very good but no match for Jaime.
This is all very true,but sort of ironically I guess outside of the story and the narrative from a purely choreographed stand point, it was Jamie here in this fight or his actor that is who seemed sluggish and less refined,where a sean beans movements were far far more fluid and realistic.
Jaime Lannister87 jaime is not tge best swordsman in 7 kingdoms..it is sir barrister and imagine kal drogo fights with jaime..and the best fightsman in the entire series is sir artur dyne
Shefin Shefi well it was that time period what Selmy was old and Arthur dead. Well are aren’t we talking about best SWORD fighter ????? Since when Drogo couldn’t as a sword fighter ??? Size and power doesn’t count when it comes to skills. You saw what happened to mountain and how Oberyn out skilled him he would have won if only he kept his mouth shut. But that’s not the point. Point it sword fighting is a different level skill. Drogo wasn’t a sword fighter. I recommend you read books. Well an other reference. GRRM writer of the books was interviews and asked about who would he chose as his champion for trail by combat. He chose Jaime Lannister. Not Arthur Dayne not Selmy not Drogo JAIME Lannister and he created all these characters and he knows who’s the best. But I agree Selmy and Arthur were best.
The way Jaime spoke greatly changed from season 1 to the last season. Here, he had a strong accent and he sounded poetic. The later seasons he is just a modern 21st century man in a costume
@@theapriltapes You're missing the point since you don't read books. It's about the story being crafted in a way such that characters can't just instantly teleport around a world, destroying sense of time and scale
@@1lapmagic I'm not missing the point. Don't be so condescending right out of the gate. It might not be favorable but it would be completely unreasonable and frankly boring to cut to a group traveling every time they had to. We got a fair bit of traversal during the early season and it serves as a reminder of scale. Plus do you really need something to remind you that continents are big? And I do read the books. These are two completely different mediums though. A few lines in a book can make you imagine the journey. But a TV show? That's resources dedicated to showing that journey for very little pay off.
Yes! You could see Ned was gaining confidence with his grin and Jamie was having doubts and was surprised at the skills that Ned was showing. Gods that was great writing then!
@@christopheralegria71 you completely misunderstood the scene tho. Jamie was happy that he would be recognized by ned at last and then ned was speared and ned gave him the "back stabber" look and Jamie was angry. Jamie will never ever lose to anyone in 1v1 combat unless there's a special condition (unless he fights against prime berristen or Arthur)
This whole fight is just fan fare. Lol in the books Ned wouldn’t dare fight Jamie. He understood that that was a death sentence so he refused to challenge him.
In the books : The rain was falling harder now, stinging the eyes and drumming against the ground. Rivers of black water were running down the hill when Jory called out, "My lord," his voice hoarse with alarm. And in an instant, the street was full of soldiers. Ned glimpsed ringmail over leather, gauntlets and greaves, steel helms with golden lions on the crests. Their cloaks clung to their backs, sodden with rain. He had no time to count, but there were ten at least, a line of them, on foot, blocking the street, with longswords and iron-tipped spears. "Behind!" he heard Wyl cry, and when he turned his horse, there were more in back of them, cutting off their retreat. Jory's sword came singing from its scabbard. "Make way or die!" "The wolves are howling," their leader said. Ned could see rain running down his face. "Such a small pack, though." Littlefinger walked his horse forward, step by careful step. "What is the meaning of this? This is the Hand of the King." He was the Hand of the King. Now, if truth be told, I'm not sure what he is." "Lannister, this is madness," Littlefinger said. "Let us pass. We are expected back at the castle. What do you think you're doing?" "He knows what he's doing," Ned said calmly. Jaime Lannister smiled. "Quite true. I'm looking for my brother. You remember my brother, don't you, Lord Stark? He was with us at Winterfell. Fair-haired, mismatched eyes, sharp of tongue. A short man." "I remember him well," Ned replied. "It would seem he has met some trouble on the road. My lord father is quite vexed. You would not perchance have any notion of who might have wished my brother ill, would you?" "Your brother has been taken at my command, to answer for his crimes," Ned Stark said. Littlefinger groaned in dismay. "My lords-" Ser Jaime ripped his longsword from its sheath and urged his stallion forward. "Show me your steel, Lord Eddard. I'll butcher you like Aerys if I must, but I'd sooner you died with a blade in your hand." "Lord Baelish, I'd leave here in some haste if I did not care to get bloodstains on my costly clothing." Littlefinger did not need to be urged. "I will bring the City Watch," he promised Ned. The Lannister line parted to let him through, and closed behind him. Littlefinger put his heels to his mare and vanished around a corner. Ned's men had drawn their swords, but they were three against twenty. Eyes watched from nearby windows and doors, but no one was about to intervene. "Kill me," he warned the Kingslayer, "and Catelyn will most certainly slay Tyrion." "Would she? The noble Catelyn Tully of Riverrun murder a hostage? I think . . . not." He sighed. "But I am not willing to chance my brother's life on a woman's honor." Jaime slid the golden sword into its sheath. "So I suppose I'll let you run back to Robert to tell him how I frightened you. I wonder if he'll care." Jaime pushed his wet hair back with his fingers and wheeled his horse around. When he was beyond the line of swordsmen, he glanced back at his captain. "Tregar, see that no harm comes to Lord Stark." "As you say, m'lord." "Still . . . we wouldn't want him to leave here entirely unchastened, so"-through the night and the rain, he glimpsed the white of Jaime's smile-"kill his men." "No!" Ned Stark screamed, clawing for his sword. Jaime was already cantering off down the street as he heard Wyl shout. Men closed from both sides. Ned rode one down, cutting at phantoms in red cloaks who gave way before him. Jory Cassel put his heels into his mount and charged. A steel-shod hoof caught a Lannister guardsman in the face with a sickening crunch. A second man reeled away and for an instant Jory was free. Wyl cursed as they pulled him off his dying horse, swords slashing in the rain. Ned galloped to him, bringing his longsword down on Tregar's helm. The jolt of impact made him grit his teeth. Tregar stumbled to his knees, his lion crest sheared in half, blood running down his face. Heward was hacking at the hands that had seized his bridle when a spear caught him in the belly. Suddenly Jory was back among them, a red rain flying from his sword. "No!" Ned shouted. "Jory, away!" Ned's horse slipped under him and came crashing down in the mud. There was a moment of blinding pain and the taste of blood in his mouth. He saw them cut the legs from Jory's mount and drag him to the earth, swords rising and failing as they closed in around him. When Ned's horse lurched back to its feet, he tried to rise, only to fall again, choking on his scream. He could see the splintered bone poking through his calf. It was the last thing he saw for a time. The rain came down and down and down. When he opened his eyes again, Lord Eddard Stark was alone with his dead. His horse moved closer, caught the rank scent of blood, and galloped away. Ned began to drag himself through the mud, gritting his teeth at the agony in his leg. It seemed to take years. Faces watched from candlelit windows, and people began to emerge from alleys and doors, but no one moved to help. Littlefinger and the City Watch found him there in the street, cradling Jory Cassel's body in his arms. Somewhere the gold cloaks found a litter, but the trip back to the castle was a blur of agony, and Ned lost consciousness more than once. He remembered seeing the Red Keep looming ahead of him in the first grey light of dawn. The rain had darkened the pale pink stone of the massive walls to the color of blood. Thanks for the attention. It's nice to see people appreciate the book. Take care everyone. And stay strong.
Man, I thought it was genius how the director had Jaime stab the guy in the eye as a reference to their previous conversation about how that guy talked about almost losing an eye during the greyjoy rebellion.
"I'm going to bring the city watch" It's the small details that really show Little finger's true brilliance. He isn't going to bring the city watch, but by loudly pronouncing he is, he shows Eddard that his loyality is with the Starks but the city watch not arriving shows Jamie that he is loyal to the Lannisters. He always plays the field and never truly commits to a side unless he knows it is the winning side. In that situation he could've then said to both of them "Ed, they didn't arrive in time" or "Jamie, they never arrived because I never actually called them".
He brought the city watch. How do you think Ned got carried to the keep? You're reading way too much into it. In the book it literally covers the part when Littlefinger comes back with the city watch and carries him back to the keep.
no thats wrong . littlefinger was on neds side . he only changes sides when ned plans on backing stannis . this is as stannis would bring stabilty and littlefinger needs chaos to climb the ladder to the throne
Ned and Robert had a falling out moment. Robert wants to get Daennerys assassinated but Ned and his honor does not want a child to be murdered so he gave up being the hand of the king. Ned was gonna take all his people back to Winterfell but Little Finger stopped him and asked him to go to the brothel because he wants to show him one last secret. Little Finger orchestrated all of this to increase the tention between the Starks and Lannisters. He also wants Ned to die so he can have Katelyn for himself. I hate him so much
@@enemanumber1610 Yup and guess what? They FUCKED that up too. He randomly just dies out of nowhere because of brans vision. Terrible death. All that build up for nothing. Should be known the finale would be terrible based on that alone
Yeaahh they fought the army of the dead and all the main characters are fine fight in King's Landing right after,no broken arms or legs,nothing,such bs.GOT used to be so real,but season 7 and 8 turned into a cartoon.
A moment of silence for what this show used to be. Jamie's character arc and Ned's lasting impression from just one season was incredible....then season 8 happened.
@@howmanynamesaretaken not to mention john snow north of the wall. Escaping certain death over and over again. Early on what was good was anything could happen, by season 7 it had fully morphed into the exact opposite, from wow i didnt expect that to i wonder how he escapes this predicament, while rolling eyes. Arya stark was a nuisance. Littlefinger had now become some form of pantomine villian waiting for his comeuppance i was kind of glad they hurried the end as it was not the same show.
considering how many years this show ran, all of the careful building of characters over that time, and for it to end on a lackluster finale... its disrespectful to all the time that was invested.
Jory's death is really where the books/show demonstrate the fact that anyone can die rather unceremoniously, and Ned's death only solidifies that. The first book truly is a masterpiece
The only reason Jaime ever hated Ned was that he was everything Jaime wasn't : respected and seen as a man of honour. Its because Jaime himself never experienced that kind of respect that he loathed him. It's also why he left Ned alive. He was trying to somehow prove that he too was a man of honour.
This was explained on the bath tub scene season 3 why he hated Ned. He was judged by Ned for being a man without honor, when Jaime did the best he could to save everyone.
@@jr5925 I guess he wasn't given a chance to explain the wildfire plot. That's when Jaime's ego came to play. He thought Ned had no right to judge him. And it seems Jaime's just too proud of himself to explain his side.
@@jackj9816 I think he was mad at the fact that Ned didn't want to hear him out in the first place. For Ned, Jaime broke a sacred oath and he would never believe someone like that
This scene is 3,5 min long and tells so much for season 1 itself and when looking back, we see at least 10 things: 1) Jaime truly loves Tyrion; 2) Ned despises Jaime (this contempt in the eyes) or even all Lannisters - to a greater or lesser degree; 3) Jaime hates that Ned looks at him in that way (cause he hates people see only Kingslayer in him); 4) Jaime is so excited that he fights with worthy opponent... 5) and disappointed that he cannot prove he can beat him honourably; 6) Ned's swording style is completely different than Jaime's (heavy strikes vs 'dancing' with the sword) but both can fight very well; 7) Jaime is even bit surprised by Ned's sword skills; 8) Littlefinger pretends he cares and then goes away 'to alarm City Watch' that never arrives; 9) Ned hates Jaime even more and this fight only confirms that Jaime is a dishonourable man; and 10) Jaime is even worse in politics than Ned, as he actually thought about killing Ned, who says that commanded to take Tyrion.
@@crayon7369 not quite. 9. The distinction is that Ned *thinks* Jaime is dishonourable. 10. Jaime did actually mention killing Ned in this scene. Ned is actually the one who points out why that would be stupid, and Jaime agrees.

@@allahuakbar3639 Oberyn wasn't too far behind Jaimie, if at all, and he used a spear which overcame the range advantage. And it was poisoned on top of that. Jaimie with a longsword going to have to get within the Mountain's reach and that won't be pretty even at his best.
The one that tried to kill his son (Bran). The one that loves his wife (Catelyn). And the one that will betray him (I've warned you to not trust in me). Arya will avenge all his family, loyal friends, and all the ones that Littlefinger's war killed. For me, isn't Cersei, or the Night King, or Tywin, or whatever, the big villain. Littlefinger is the one. For me, he was the one alive, at the very end of the show... to be killed. And the one that should swing the... dagger... should be Bran.
Yeah, so much honor that he allowed Arthur Dayne to get stabbed in the back and then take the credit for claiming to have beat him in single combat. So honorable.
@@slightly_tilted Ned was in no position to "allow" Dayne to be stabbed in the back. It happened very quickly. And how do you think Ser Dayne wanted to be remembered ? Killed by a stab to the back like a chicken ? Or bested in combat ? That's why Ned finished him off. I doubt Ned went about bragging he defeated Dayne. That's just the effect of war stories that get exaggerated with time. But sure, concoct any delusional reason to hate Ned.
@@leone41ll The way Dayne died was indeed bullshit like it or not , Ned didn't really looked 'sad' about the way he won so this rightfully pissed of some people about Ned
Even if Ned doesn't rank high amongst the best fighters in Westeros, he was able to hold his own against Arthur Dayne and Jaime Lannister, two of the best swordsmen the realm has ever known.
He doesnt rank at all among the best fighters in Westeros. He's several tiers below the likes of Jaime and Dayne. And he didnt even hold his own against Dayne, he had a 7v3 advantage and still basically lost
@@joedorben3504 why are you going around the entire comment section trying to downplay neds skills? jaime and dayne are literally the best swordsman in the fucking show. ofcourse he wouldn't be able to keep up with jaime especially now since he is old and hasn't fought in a long time. He could hold his own against a Jaime that was not trying to kill him which is a feat in an of itself.
@@abdullahibrahimhassan7301 He's a well trained lord, but nowhere near the likes of Jamie, Barritstan and Dayne. This isn't downplaying Ned's skills, but rather telling how big of a difference there is between the best and the average. Ned is definitely above average, as any well-trained knight/lord would be. Just look at John Snow when he arrives Castle Black. He's able to toy with normal, untrained people, despite him only being 14 years old, being trained by a castle's master-at-arms since a young age. Ned definitely could easily defeat any average soldier one-on one, but in the books, Jamie cut through Robb's bodyguards "as butter" before he is overwhelmed. He's a kingsguard, and one of the absolute best of them. He's arguably better that Barristan at the time of the show, which says a lot (considering Barristan confidently said he could defeat 5 other kingsguards with ease). If the average swordsman would be a 5, ned was likely a 7 or an 8. Problem is he's fighting a 10.
I love how you see the smile on Jamie’s face fade and start to see doubt and possible the realization that Ned stark might be his equal, when they’re locked together mid-fight, then Ned backs up and we see him start to smile
Nikolaj is superb at conveying character through body language. My favourite scene in the show is his incredible performance when he's describing killing the Mad King to Brienne. He starts off bitterly amused as he says "That's the look. I've seen it for seventeen years," and as he relives the moment he gets angrier and more resentful, all the while slowly getting weaker until he's picturing the way Ned Stark looked at him and just FORCING out the last few words full of such rage, barely able to keep himself upright. Just fantastic.
He did a pretty good fight, at least in the show, what he lacked in talent compared with Jaime he made up with experience, in the last moments of the fight Jaime´s face wasn´t confident as in the beginning.
@@valiyevyusif1713 Actually no, the author of the books said that Ser Barristan and Ser Arthur were more or less equals except when Ser Arthur was wielding dawn. Ser Barristan might still beat Jaime, but it would be a tough fight
This is season 1 with a fraction of the budget compared to season 8 and yet this small fight is better choreographed, has much more impact and tension and is far more thrilling to watch than just random wights being killed. Not to mention it actually impacts the plot unlike the ridiculous jaime euron fight
@@zaproosevelt Nope. Season 1 was the best of all the seasons. Season eight was not as bad as many wannabe critics say. Season 8 is far better than season 6 and 7.

@@HM-tm7pk I don't believe that it's fair to call Sansa stupid. She was a child with no life experience; what happened in King's Landing taught her a harsh lesson.

In the canonical series, his decisions are more logical up until his death, particularly the attempts to rebuild the fortresses along the wall in preparation for attacks by the dead.

Oh the irony. Little Finger here asking what the meaning of this all is. Jaime mad at Stark for blaming Tyrion for something he knows his brother didn't do, Stark trying to protect his family. LF reveling in the chaos he created.
I want to rewatch with all the info we know now and just unravel the who thing. Disect each scene, landmark, phrases, or just any tiny detail. RR Martin is the man. I bought the book o. Amazon but never read it though.
I don’t get it, Jaime started the fight saying he wants to take Ned alive (presumably to exchange for Tyrion), but then simply leaves Ned there in the street
Look at this relatively phenomenally choreographed fight scene, where getting stabbed in the leg actually had its consequence for few episodes, almost as if the show was logically consistent back then or something...
Bad Man the last one was between Brienne and The Hound, you say? Huh, it seems like you’re either hyperbolising, or you haven’t been paying attention. Right, in case you haven’t interacted with compound sentences before, I’m not saying that the fight scenes were far better back then; I’m saying that the fight scene in the video is relatively well choreographed, that’s all. I have criticised newer seasons, but that’s thanks to their logical inconsistencies, absurdity, and fluid approach to the distances and time, not poor fight scenes. In case an Oxford comma and a semi-colon is too much for you, I’m happy to explain.
Funny, all I can think about is how Jamie loosing his hand spared us from the best swordsman in the kingdom looking completely awkward with a sword in hand and had to rely on Sean Bean selling his skill for him. Don't let the mess of the Winterfell battle make you oversell this.
I remember watching season one, so convinced that Ned would become King in the end. So sure he was going to be the main hero of the story. What a winding ride it e ded up being.
@@smellypatel5272 It isn't that much of a departure when you remember that most fantasy fiction is about a young hero whose noble father is slain at some point and realize Ned is the noble father.

@@gurubhuvanagiri722 dude dragons are a fantasy element. Phsycal combat between humans is reality. Humans are reality. Humans have skin , blood , tissues , muscles , organs. Even slightly damaging these things will knock most people unconscious. This has nothing to do with "Dragons" that breathe whatever the fuck they breathe...
There is just so much more development in their expression. How Ned paused to admit he's captured of the imp and use that against Jamie. Jamie tries to hide his care for his brother in response with a proud Lannister way. Even after his men interrupted the battle, he didn't say anything foolish and just ride it off. It was such a good show.
By all accounts Jory was a skilled and cunning warrior. He was the captain of Lord Eddard's household guard. He was related to the Master of Arms at Winterfell. He's had real combat experience and fought in multiple wars. A part of him probably always wondered how he'd do against a renowned swordsman like Jamie Lannister. Maybe he even one day dreamed of crossing swords with the famous (and infamous) Kingslayer. And when the two finally clashed, Jory... Jory lasted about three seconds. I hate to say it... I really do... But... Skill issue.
The atmosphere of Game of Thrones in Season 1 and basically all seasons before season 5 was classic and vintage, almost like an old film . Then George R. R. Martin left and some unknown people turned it into a Buzzfeed documentary.

@@yidingliu8663 Nope. His regular sword isn't Valyrian steel. As far as I know, his only Valyrian steel sword is the Stark heirloom, Ice. That's a greatsword.
I love Jaime's expressions and changing attitude in this scene. 1:42 He started overconfident and cocky, like he expected it to be an easy task, then in 1:59 he's like ,,oh, who could have guessed, you're actually pretty good" and finally in 2:17 he probably thought that maybe all these stories about Ned killing Arthur Dayne in single combat might have been true after all.
Rewatching this, I think it’s interesting how Jaime doesn’t even bother fighting Jory with honor, just pulls a dagger and stabs him. But Ned on the other hand, that’s a duel he’s been waiting for, he wants to beat him fair and square, and then one of his men robs him of satisfaction.
"Jaime doesn’t even bother fighting Jory with honor, just pulls a dagger and stabs him" How is that dishonorable? Arthur Dayne fighting with 2 swords is honorable, but Jaime with a sword and a dagger isn't??

poor jory, i think that was one of the first inklings of the show, showing us that this isnt like other series since jory could have been seen as being built up to be a main charecter as neds right hand man, then just dead
It was one of the most shocking deaths for me of the whole show because it happened so quickly basically without a fight and was brushed aside imemediately
I think jamie hates ned not just the way he judged him after he killed the mad king but also becuase he killed ser arthur dayne who taught jamie how to fight and he looked up to him as well.
I think if Sir Arthur Dayne was in the same situation as Jaime was, being ordered to burn King's Landing to the ground, I think he would have acted how Jaime acted. Arthur was best friends with Rhaegar, and I guarantee he knew that Rhaeger would not have wanted that.
payup117 no he didn't hate him because of that he hated him because he didn't accept him or respect him .. he knew Ned was honorable man and if someone like that doesn't respect you your nothing
Jaime’s role model growing up was Ser Arthur Dayne. Dayne was praised as the greatest swordsman in the world, even greater than Ser Barristan Selmy. Ned was famous for killing Ser Arthur Dayne in a sword fight. Naturally, Jaime was eager to cross blades with the man who killed his idol. After all, how could he consider himself the greatest if Ned went unbeaten by him? When that guard stabbed Ned from behind he lost his chance to test his metal against the man who allegedly bested the greatest swordsman in the world.
Jaime wanted that fight from what he had read on the book of brothers about Ser Arthur Dayne being the greatest swordsmen who ever lived being defeated by Lord Eddard Stark

Lord Stark had no idea about Tyrion’s imprisonment, and yet his very first reaction is to defend his wife and take responsibility for his family’s action. Ned is such a truly honorable person and one of the only real “family-men” in the show
He did know. He was already informed his wife captured Tyrion. Still lies to protect Cat though.
Littlefinger literally summoned Ned to his brothel to tell him that news. Ned had learned just minutes prior to this scene.

Dayne respected ned and hated the lannisters so I doubt it

PhenomReloaded08 no ones really bitching just making fun of the bad writing in season 8
I love this scene so much because you can tell exactly where the two characters are. Jaime HATES Ned for not seeing his side in the killing of the mad king and this was supposed to be his revenge for it, where he "bests" Ned to prove who the better man is. Except he doesn't get this chance, because one of his men stabs Ned through the leg in a cowardly move. And when Ned looks up at him Jaime can tell exactly what he's thinking, "fucking cowardly Lannisters" and he's right, and Jaime is infuriated by no end to this because once again even though Ned is the one on the ground he's still the one with the moral high ground from an honor perspective. Fucking love it.
Yeah jaime really cleaned up his act later by killing his own cousin
And, the thing is, it seemed like Jaime WASN'T going to best him. Jaime looked to be fighting will all of his effort, and Ned was matching that, stroke for stroke. The only reason he was groaning wasn't because he was struggling or fatigued, but he was groaning out of anger and the loss of Jory and the others. Also, notice all these dozens of people standing on the balconies like, "DAMN!!" totally surprised that an old man who hasn't fought in twenty years or more is beating the LEGENDARY Jaime Lannister, who has been fighting all his life. 🤣

Jaime idolized Ser Arthur Dayne, atleast in the books, he’d be the only one to believe there was now possible way Ned beat him in single combat.
@@LaughOutFrikinLoud Yeah, Jaime wouldn't believe it but he'd never know for sure until he saw Ned fight. He had no idea what Ned was capable of so he wanted to see it for himself and confirm his suspicions that Ned couldn't ever have defeated Dayne in single combat.
I’ve always loved how Jaime’s expression at :43 suggests he’s actually surprised and outraged by Ned saying he commanded Tyrion’s capture. He was all ready to do a duel of words like so many do in King’s Landing - never admitting anything - but the northern honesty catches him off guard. You can really see that in his expression.
It’s not even honesty. It’s a lie to protect his wife. The shock is more likley from the fact that Jaime wouldn’t have expected the honorable Ned to have seized his brother so blatantly. However due to his reputation Jaime instantly beleives him.
a more accurate thing would be to say
"Usually people talk in riddles and half truths. Ned flat out saying 'I ordered Tyrion to be captured' leaves no room for interpretation."
Yes its a lie to protect his wife, but he is being honourable. He knows Jamie is a better fighter. He knows the numbers are against him. Jamie has vigour, age, stamina, the men. Ned knows he might die here (and would of if that guard didnt stab his thigh ruining Jamie's hate boner). He hopes Tywin would be merciful IF they ever went after Tyrion.
I’ve always loved that moment but for a different reason, I love how he immediately pulls his sword out in defense of Tyrion. He seems visibly pissed and it shows how protective he is of his little brother.

I love Jaime’s interest in Ned. Since his King-slaying, Jaime has this terrible yearning for honour, something Ned Stark is known for. This manifests as a sort of desire to prove himself to Ned. First he tries to win that approval in their conversation about the mad king and then when Ned puts him down, he tries to prove it by beating him in combat. This is why the soldiers dishonourable backstabbing of Ned so angers Jaime. Just means yet again, he doesn’t get that honourable victory. This irony is that Ned’s own famous defeat of Arthur Dayne was in fact eerily similar.
Additionally this insecurity of Jaime’s drives his friendship and empathy for Brienne of Tarth. They are two sides of the same ‘wanna-be noble knight’ coin. Both struggle to gain the respect and noble deeds of other famous knights, mostly due to ill fortune.

@@keithfilibeck2390 In the show, absolutely. Ser Barristan says he's seen Ned kill a dozen great knights. And I agree with you, in the show, he's very low key about his abilities since he intends to use them for real situations when he doesn't want anyone to know what he can do and immediately get the upper hand. Hard to do that in tournaments. Ned doesn't have the ego problem Jamie and the other great fighters do so it's not a problem for him
You can tell that Jaime had been looking for this for a long time. Not only he hated Ned for giving him shit about killing Aerys, Ned was also responsible for the death of Arthur Dayne, who was Jaime's mentor and idol. He had this chance not only to getting some sort of payback, but also taking out the frustration of Ned seeing him as a dishonorable craven.
That's why he was pissed when the fight was interrupted. Jaime wanted to beat Ned fair and square, only for some dumbass grunt to take it upon himself to attack Ned from behind. Jaime knows immediately that from that moment, Ned will forever remember him as a dirty coward.

@@Zephyr01 IMO, it's ultimately irrelevant. Ned is an inferior swordsman to both Dayne and Jaime, but the fact remains that he emerged victorious from Tower of Joy and Dayne wasn't. In fact, knowing Ned could never beat Dayne in a fight yet he won in the end could be the factor that frustrates Jaime more than anything.
Damn i love that moment where Ned is just staring at Jamie after he gets stabbed in the leg. They both know that this wasn't the way it was supposed to go, and Jamie Fucking knocks the guy out who stole his one on one duel with a man he has issues with. The fact that Jamie got so upset over having a man he hates be bested by a cheap shot instead of by fair combat shows that he still respected Ned despite his anger. The writing for this show used to be so good
I haven't read the books, but I have read a lot of UA-cam comments, and people more knowledgeable than me have posited that Jamie probably admired Ned.

At 2:00 exactly you can see the joy on Jaimes face he had heard all about how Ned was the one who killed Arthur Dayne and has been waiting to see Ned fight because Jaime didn’t believe Ned or anyone could beat Arthur in a fight. But that slash by Ned came close to slicing Jaime and you see the realization in his eyes that Ned is actually a great swordsman and that means there is a real chance he might have beat Arthur something Jaime thought impossible and now he gets to fight Ned too
In the Books because people thought Ned could best Arthur Dayne he trained after that point relentlessly to be able to keep up with the reputation of being someone who could've taken on Arthur Dayne.

You have to give it to Jaime, as soon as Ned says he’s responsible for taking Tyrion he doesn’t even let Ned finished, he draws his sword ready to fight with an angry face!
Jaime did loved Tyrion.
I hear you man. People are saying that Jaime became likeable only after he lost his hand, but to me Jaime was sorta good guy from the start. He just the guy who sincerely puts his family First and Foremost and it's relatable to me. And he does this not out of some sort of abstract "principles" like Tywin, but because of his Love to every member of his family. Heck, the man even cared about Joffrey to some extent. Now look how his face instantly changes from smug smirk to a "you are now fucking asking for this, you dead meat"-face when Ned confirmes that Tyrion was captured - Jaime is so unspeakably mad that he doesn't even recognize the reason in "If you kill me - your brother dies", he just want to gut the man who dared to lay a finger on his brother. Dam, chills.
Absolutely. One of the compelling points about Jaime is that his loyalty to his family would be considered highly noble if his family weren't scumbags. The only time it's truly showed positively in the books is with his devotion towards protecting Tommen. It is interesting that he didn't care at all about Joffrey though.
@@YungJaime73 yeah Jaime wasn’t blind like his sister to Joffery’s madness. He would never let a Lannister get hurt on his watch if he can stop it, but his watch with Joffrey was less vigorous than with other Lannister’s
@@YungJaime73 What Gallowglass said. In the books, Jaime actually cuts Brienne off from saying Joffrey is his son and says that as far as he (Jaime) is concerned, Joffrey was no more than "a squirt of seed in Cersei's cunt."
I can't see how.

Agreed. Very violent and satisfying. It made me nervous because i loved both of them and didn't want anyone to die.@@Velshin1986
Things I love about this scene is the small details.
1) Jaime's expression throughout proves that (at this point) he clearly relishes 1 on 1 skill driven combat. From his efforts to engage in a duel, to his disappointment when it's abruptly ended by an outside party.
2) Ned is clearly less skilled, but in turn is slightly stronger, as seen when both swords are locked, and Jaime is on the defensive; somewhat leveling the playing field.
3) Ned is sluggish, with heavier strikes, most likely to his experience with weapons such as Ice. Jaime however treats sword fighting as more of a dance, flourishing where possible, displaying his skill through intimidating arrogance with actual backing.
Back when things weren't being rushed in order to collect some Disney Star Wars money, this show was truly something to behold.
ua-cam.com/video/7p0-WZTSx3E/v-deo.html
SwiftSabre Jaime’s fighting style was very elegant and graceful he preferred skilled rather than power. Ned was fierce not doubt and used more power than grace or skill. Jaime was best swordsman in seven kingdoms Ned was very good but no match for Jaime.
This is all very true,but sort of ironically I guess outside of the story and the narrative from a purely choreographed stand point, it was Jamie here in this fight or his actor that is who seemed sluggish and less refined,where a sean beans movements were far far more fluid and realistic.
Jaime Lannister87 jaime is not tge best swordsman in 7 kingdoms..it is sir barrister and imagine kal drogo fights with jaime..and the best fightsman in the entire series is sir artur dyne
Shefin Shefi well it was that time period what Selmy was old and Arthur dead. Well are aren’t we talking about best SWORD fighter ????? Since when Drogo couldn’t as a sword fighter ??? Size and power doesn’t count when it comes to skills. You saw what happened to mountain and how Oberyn out skilled him he would have won if only he kept his mouth shut. But that’s not the point. Point it sword fighting is a different level skill. Drogo wasn’t a sword fighter. I recommend you read books. Well an other reference. GRRM writer of the books was interviews and asked about who would he chose as his champion for trail by combat. He chose Jaime Lannister. Not Arthur Dayne not Selmy not Drogo JAIME Lannister and he created all these characters and he knows who’s the best. But I agree Selmy and Arthur were best.
The way Jaime spoke greatly changed from season 1 to the last season. Here, he had a strong accent and he sounded poetic. The later seasons he is just a modern 21st century man in a costume
Enzo Raagas Sadly all the characters started to sound just like modern people in the last seasons
Very well, but that's because of the writing, an actor can only do so much...
@@alexsm3882 not just writing but directing too

@@1lapmagic I'm not missing the point. Don't be so condescending right out of the gate.
It might not be favorable but it would be completely unreasonable and frankly boring to cut to a group traveling every time they had to.
We got a fair bit of traversal during the early season and it serves as a reminder of scale. Plus do you really need something to remind you that continents are big?
And I do read the books. These are two completely different mediums though. A few lines in a book can make you imagine the journey. But a TV show? That's resources dedicated to showing that journey for very little pay off.

Mid-fight, Jaime was smiling and Ned was all seriousness. At the end, Jaime was serious and Ned was just beginning to smile.
Yes! You could see Ned was gaining confidence with his grin and Jamie was having doubts and was surprised at the skills that Ned was showing. Gods that was great writing then!

@@christopheralegria71 you completely misunderstood the scene tho. Jamie was happy that he would be recognized by ned at last and then ned was speared and ned gave him the "back stabber" look and Jamie was angry.
Jamie will never ever lose to anyone in 1v1 combat unless there's a special condition (unless he fights against prime berristen or Arthur)
I had a stroke trying to read that
This whole fight is just fan fare. Lol in the books Ned wouldn’t dare fight Jamie. He understood that that was a death sentence so he refused to challenge him.
In the books :
The rain was falling harder now, stinging the eyes and drumming against the ground. Rivers of black water were running down the hill when Jory called out, "My lord," his voice hoarse with alarm. And in an instant, the street was full of soldiers.
Ned glimpsed ringmail over leather, gauntlets and greaves, steel helms with golden lions on the crests. Their cloaks clung to their backs, sodden with rain. He had no time to count, but there were ten at least, a line of them, on foot, blocking the street, with longswords and iron-tipped spears. "Behind!" he heard Wyl cry, and when he turned his horse, there were more in back of them, cutting off their retreat. Jory's sword came singing from its scabbard. "Make way or die!"
"The wolves are howling," their leader said. Ned could see rain running down his face. "Such a small pack, though."
Littlefinger walked his horse forward, step by careful step. "What is the meaning of this? This is the Hand of the King."
He was the Hand of the King. Now, if truth be told, I'm not sure what he is."
"Lannister, this is madness," Littlefinger said. "Let us pass. We are expected back at the castle. What do you think you're doing?"
"He knows what he's doing," Ned said calmly.
Jaime Lannister smiled. "Quite true. I'm looking for my brother. You remember my brother, don't you, Lord Stark? He was with us at Winterfell. Fair-haired, mismatched eyes, sharp of tongue. A short man."
"I remember him well," Ned replied.
"It would seem he has met some trouble on the road. My lord father is quite vexed. You would not perchance have any notion of who might have wished my brother ill, would you?"
"Your brother has been taken at my command, to answer for his crimes," Ned Stark said.
Littlefinger groaned in dismay. "My lords-"
Ser Jaime ripped his longsword from its sheath and urged his stallion forward. "Show me your steel, Lord Eddard. I'll butcher you like Aerys if I must, but I'd sooner you died with a blade in your hand."
"Lord Baelish, I'd leave here in some haste if I did not care to get bloodstains on my costly clothing."
Littlefinger did not need to be urged. "I will bring the City Watch," he promised Ned. The Lannister line parted to let him through, and closed behind him. Littlefinger put his heels to his mare and vanished around a corner.
Ned's men had drawn their swords, but they were three against twenty. Eyes watched from nearby windows and doors, but no one was about to intervene.
"Kill me," he warned the Kingslayer, "and Catelyn will most certainly slay Tyrion."
"Would she? The noble Catelyn Tully of Riverrun murder a hostage? I think . . . not." He sighed. "But I am not willing to chance my brother's life on a woman's honor." Jaime slid the golden sword into its sheath. "So I suppose I'll let you run back to Robert to tell him how I frightened you. I wonder if he'll care." Jaime pushed his wet hair back with his fingers and wheeled his horse around. When he was beyond the line of swordsmen, he glanced back at his captain. "Tregar, see that no harm comes to Lord Stark."
"As you say, m'lord."
"Still . . . we wouldn't want him to leave here entirely unchastened, so"-through the night and the rain, he glimpsed the white of Jaime's smile-"kill his men."
"No!" Ned Stark screamed, clawing for his sword. Jaime was already cantering off down the street as he heard Wyl shout. Men closed from both sides. Ned rode one down, cutting at phantoms in red cloaks who gave way before him. Jory Cassel put his heels into his mount and charged. A steel-shod hoof caught a Lannister guardsman in the face with a sickening crunch. A second man reeled away and for an instant Jory was free. Wyl cursed as they pulled him off his dying horse, swords slashing in the rain. Ned galloped to him, bringing his longsword down on Tregar's helm. The jolt of impact made him grit his teeth. Tregar stumbled to his knees, his lion crest sheared in half, blood running down his face. Heward was hacking at the hands that had seized his bridle when a spear caught him in the belly. Suddenly Jory was back among them, a red rain flying from his sword. "No!" Ned shouted. "Jory, away!" Ned's horse slipped under him and came crashing down in the mud. There was a moment of blinding pain and the taste of blood in his mouth.
He saw them cut the legs from Jory's mount and drag him to the earth, swords rising and failing as they closed in around him. When Ned's horse lurched back to its feet, he tried to rise, only to fall again, choking on his scream. He could see the splintered bone poking through his calf. It was the last thing he saw for a time. The rain came down and down and down.
When he opened his eyes again, Lord Eddard Stark was alone with his dead. His horse moved closer, caught the rank scent of blood, and galloped away. Ned began to drag himself through the mud, gritting his teeth at the agony in his leg. It seemed to take years. Faces watched from candlelit windows, and people began to emerge from alleys and doors, but no one moved to help.
Littlefinger and the City Watch found him there in the street, cradling Jory Cassel's body in his arms.
Somewhere the gold cloaks found a litter, but the trip back to the castle was a blur of agony, and Ned lost consciousness more than once. He remembered seeing the Red Keep looming ahead of him in the first grey light of dawn. The rain had darkened the pale pink stone of the massive walls to the color of blood.

"I'm going to bring the city watch" It's the small details that really show Little finger's true brilliance. He isn't going to bring the city watch, but by loudly pronouncing he is, he shows Eddard that his loyality is with the Starks but the city watch not arriving shows Jamie that he is loyal to the Lannisters. He always plays the field and never truly commits to a side unless he knows it is the winning side. In that situation he could've then said to both of them "Ed, they didn't arrive in time" or "Jamie, they never arrived because I never actually called them".

Ned was gonna take all his people back to Winterfell but Little Finger stopped him and asked him to go to the brothel because he wants to show him one last secret.

Arya stark was a nuisance. Littlefinger had now become some form of pantomine villian waiting for his comeuppance i was kind of glad they hurried the end as it was not the same show.
considering how many years this show ran, all of the careful building of characters over that time, and for it to end on a lackluster finale... its disrespectful to all the time that was invested.
I feel the show started it's downward spiral into "amateur fanfiction territory" at season 5 personally.
Jory's death is really where the books/show demonstrate the fact that anyone can die rather unceremoniously, and Ned's death only solidifies that. The first book truly is a masterpiece
This scene is better then the books. The books have Jamie riding away.
That bastard, i thought i had defeated him already
Lmao

DONKEY!!!
LOL this made my day
😂😂😂😂
The only reason Jaime ever hated Ned was that he was everything Jaime wasn't : respected and seen as a man of honour. Its because Jaime himself never experienced that kind of respect that he loathed him. It's also why he left Ned alive. He was trying to somehow prove that he too was a man of honour.
This was explained on the bath tub scene season 3 why he hated Ned. He was judged by Ned for being a man without honor, when Jaime did the best he could to save everyone.
That would also explain why he hated what the soldier did to ned sense Jamie is already seen as a backstabbing traitor and that did not help
@@jr5925 I guess he wasn't given a chance to explain the wildfire plot. That's when Jaime's ego came to play. He thought Ned had no right to judge him. And it seems Jaime's just too proud of himself to explain his side.

This scene is 3,5 min long and tells so much for season 1 itself and when looking back, we see at least 10 things:
1) Jaime truly loves Tyrion;
2) Ned despises Jaime (this contempt in the eyes) or even all Lannisters - to a greater or lesser degree;
3) Jaime hates that Ned looks at him in that way (cause he hates people see only Kingslayer in him);
4) Jaime is so excited that he fights with worthy opponent...
5) and disappointed that he cannot prove he can beat him honourably;
6) Ned's swording style is completely different than Jaime's (heavy strikes vs 'dancing' with the sword) but both can fight very well;
7) Jaime is even bit surprised by Ned's sword skills;
8) Littlefinger pretends he cares and then goes away 'to alarm City Watch' that never arrives;
9) Ned hates Jaime even more and this fight only confirms that Jaime is a dishonourable man; and
10) Jaime is even worse in politics than Ned, as he actually thought about killing Ned, who says that commanded to take Tyrion.
Your 9 and 10 points are false, because Jaime clearly never anted to kill Ned, he wanted to take him histage, so he could demand tyrion in return
@@crayon7369 not quite.

For me, isn't Cersei, or the Night King, or Tywin, or whatever, the big villain. Littlefinger is the one.
For me, he was the one alive, at the very end of the show... to be killed.
And the one that should swing the... dagger... should be Bran.
Yeah, so much honor that he allowed Arthur Dayne to get stabbed in the back and then take the credit for claiming to have beat him in single combat. So honorable.
@@slightly_tilted Ned was in no position to "allow" Dayne to be stabbed in the back. It happened very quickly.
And how do you think Ser Dayne wanted to be remembered ? Killed by a stab to the back like a chicken ? Or bested in combat ? That's why Ned finished him off.

He doesnt rank at all among the best fighters in Westeros. He's several tiers below the likes of Jaime and Dayne. And he didnt even hold his own against Dayne, he had a 7v3 advantage and still basically lost

He could hold his own against a Jaime that was not trying to kill him which is a feat in an of itself.
@@abdullahibrahimhassan7301 isn't it obvious? He is a Lannister!
Ned is probably near the bottom of the top tier
@@abdullahibrahimhassan7301 He's a well trained lord, but nowhere near the likes of Jamie, Barritstan and Dayne. This isn't downplaying Ned's skills, but rather telling how big of a difference there is between the best and the average. Ned is definitely above average, as any well-trained knight/lord would be. Just look at John Snow when he arrives Castle Black. He's able to toy with normal, untrained people, despite him only being 14 years old, being trained by a castle's master-at-arms since a young age. Ned definitely could easily defeat any average soldier one-on one, but in the books, Jamie cut through Robb's bodyguards "as butter" before he is overwhelmed. He's a kingsguard, and one of the absolute best of them. He's arguably better that Barristan at the time of the show, which says a lot (considering Barristan confidently said he could defeat 5 other kingsguards with ease). If the average swordsman would be a 5, ned was likely a 7 or an 8. Problem is he's fighting a 10.
I love how you see the smile on Jamie’s face fade and start to see doubt and possible the realization that Ned stark might be his equal, when they’re locked together mid-fight, then Ned backs up and we see him start to smile
Nikolaj is superb at conveying character through body language. My favourite scene in the show is his incredible performance when he's describing killing the Mad King to Brienne. He starts off bitterly amused as he says "That's the look. I've seen it for seventeen years," and as he relives the moment he gets angrier and more resentful, all the while slowly getting weaker until he's picturing the way Ned Stark looked at him and just FORCING out the last few words full of such rage, barely able to keep himself upright. Just fantastic.
As amazing as all the following seasons were… I still miss Ned Stark’s presence.
He did a pretty good fight, at least in the show, what he lacked in talent compared with Jaime he made up with experience, in the last moments of the fight Jaime´s face wasn´t confident as in the beginning.
That's because Sean Bean is the best actor in the whole series up to his quit exit. Makes sense to me.

I bet Ser Barristan would still cut through the lot of them like carving a cake. RIP Barristan the Bold
Not Jaimie though I guess even prime Barristan would struggle against a 2 handed Jaimie Lannister
U do know that him and Ser Author Dayne trained Jamie .
@@valiyevyusif1713 well jaime is in his prime here
nd ned stark nd jaime looks equal here
@@valiyevyusif1713 Actually no, the author of the books said that Ser Barristan and Ser Arthur were more or less equals except when Ser Arthur was wielding dawn. Ser Barristan might still beat Jaime, but it would be a tough fight
@@gerardjagroo In the books, it seems pretty obvious than Arthur Dayne is by far better than any knights who lived in his times and after.
This is season 1 with a fraction of the budget compared to season 8 and yet this small fight is better choreographed, has much more impact and tension and is far more thrilling to watch than just random wights being killed. Not to mention it actually impacts the plot unlike the ridiculous jaime euron fight
What are you blathering about.
bighand69 he’s saying despite season 1 having a way smaller budget it was far more entertaining than season 8. Pretty obvious.
@@SomeLad12
Season one was probably the best out of all of them.

Nope.
Season 1 was the best of all the seasons. Season eight was not as bad as many wannabe critics say.
Season 8 is far better than season 6 and 7.

"My wife went crazy and kidnapped him for some reason. I'm just as confused as you are bro. Lets get him back"

But it's so much more fun to duel it out in a courtyard strewn with hacked bodies than to use our heads and pursue a peaceful resolution.
@@dpeasehead Please believe me when I say this.
Getting stabbed is the opposite of fun.
@@dpeasehead Jaime and Ned are not renowned for thinking logically. I'm surprised Ned died after being beheaded, since he never even fucking used his brain to begin with.
@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer The Starks were by far the stupidest house, robb should have just married the frey girl and not beheaded Lord Carstark, Sansa is kind of smart in how she stayed quiet and obeyed joffrey but she was the idiot who trusted the lannisters in the first place, catelyn was... well I don't have enough time to list the reason she's an idiot. Jon snow knows nothin... and his dialogue became "shes muh queen" and "no sansa", arya was smart in that she knew who too trust and who not too and bran is some weird mythical creature. Ned starks bitch sister couldn't keep her legs closed and had many men killed because of it. Oh and Rickon was... um.. um who knows.
@@HM-tm7pk I don't believe that it's fair to call Sansa stupid. She was a child with no life experience; what happened in King's Landing taught her a harsh lesson. Jon was turned into a moron by Dan and Dave. In the canonical series, his decisions are more logical up until his death, particularly the attempts to rebuild the fortresses along the wall in preparation for attacks by the dead.
The one and only scene in the entire series where we see Jaime fight in his full fighting form.
Its too bad it was poorly choreographed and poorly shot. Just no way to shoot two actors as expert swordsmen. Should have been better, MUCH better.
@@thecocktailian2091 yea i understand but they didn't had a huge budget back then
@@shreyaskhanvilkar6393 Don't think good action choreography costs all that much more than the bad kind, it's not the end of the world but this looks like they went through it a few times on the day and just banged it out.
It's just a little weird watching the greatest swordsman alive use his weapon like it's a heavy club
Jake, Don’t forget his fight with Brienne on the bridge. His hands were tied yes, but he WAS fighting to kill, fighting for his freedom.
@@WlatPziupp when budget is low the producers watch every penny and i guess they thought it would be worth cutting better choreography
Still a better sword fight than all fights of season 08 combined
Owais Khan I agree, I will say that Jorah probably had the best fight of S8 but I don't agree with how his character got to that fight or even why the one character who told us how powerful plate armor is isn't fuckin wearing plate armor
I don’t know man-The Hound vs The Mountain was way better than this. And Arya vs the Dead.
Not really, this fight scene sucked choreographically
Nah the sword fights sucked in the first few seasons... but by God did they mean so much more
What fights? I didnt see any in season 8
Jaime had the technique, the charisma and his youth but Ned had the heart, soul and strength of an experienced seasoned warrior.
I believe they’re close to the same age
@@tylerwill5688in the show at least, they are clearly not. But I think Ned is supposed to be like 6 years older.
In the show, Ned had the showrunners doing fanservice. In the books Jaime would have cut him to shreds without breaking a sweat.
that sounds boring @@harrywhitehead7442
@@harrywhitehead7442 They probably figured it'd be criminal to have Sean Bean in this sort of role without giving him at least one sword fight, and it also wouldn't do to have him be completely outclassed in said sword fight. This is one change they made that really didn't bother me.
Oh the irony. Little Finger here asking what the meaning of this all is. Jaime mad at Stark for blaming Tyrion for something he knows his brother didn't do, Stark trying to protect his family. LF reveling in the chaos he created.

The way Jaime genuinely wants his lil bro back ❤️
I don’t get it, Jaime started the fight saying he wants to take Ned alive (presumably to exchange for Tyrion), but then simply leaves Ned there in the street
@@raymondhsu6407 not entirely sure, but believe it was bc the guy cheap shot Ned
Look at this relatively phenomenally choreographed fight scene, where getting stabbed in the leg actually had its consequence for few episodes, almost as if the show was logically consistent back then or something...
The show was based on books now it's a fanfiction
How do you expect a fight like this against white walkers and wights? There haven’t been many cases of duels, the last one was Brienne vs the hound
Bad Man the last one was between Brienne and The Hound, you say? Huh, it seems like you’re either hyperbolising, or you haven’t been paying attention. Right, in case you haven’t interacted with compound sentences before, I’m not saying that the fight scenes were far better back then; I’m saying that the fight scene in the video is relatively well choreographed, that’s all. I have criticised newer seasons, but that’s thanks to their logical inconsistencies, absurdity, and fluid approach to the distances and time, not poor fight scenes.
In case an Oxford comma and a semi-colon is too much for you, I’m happy to explain.
Funny, all I can think about is how Jamie loosing his hand spared us from the best swordsman in the kingdom looking completely awkward with a sword in hand and had to rely on Sean Bean selling his skill for him.
Don't let the mess of the Winterfell battle make you oversell this.

God I love lots of stuff about season 5 but that was among the dumbest things in that season.
Choreographed by Will Hobbs "The Dean of Fight Choreographers." This was his last work before he died. A legend!
I remember watching season one, so convinced that Ned would become King in the end. So sure he was going to be the main hero of the story. What a winding ride it e ded up being.
It was a clear departure from lots of fiction. It showed that life is seldom that clean and reality can be bleak, depressing, and ruthless
Really? You thought a character played by Sean Bean was actually going to live to see the end of something?
@@douglasrau5094 I honestly didn't know he had such an established reputation of dying. I literally only knew him as Boromir.
@@smellypatel5272 It isn't that much of a departure when you remember that most fantasy fiction is about a young hero whose noble father is slain at some point and realize Ned is the noble father.

@@gurubhuvanagiri722 dude dragons are a fantasy element. Phsycal combat between humans is reality. Humans are reality. Humans have skin , blood , tissues , muscles , organs. Even slightly damaging these things will knock most people unconscious. This has nothing to do with "Dragons" that breathe whatever the fuck they breathe...
There is just so much more development in their expression.
How Ned paused to admit he's captured of the imp and use that against Jamie.
Jamie tries to hide his care for his brother in response with a proud Lannister way.
Even after his men interrupted the battle, he didn't say anything foolish and just ride it off.
It was such a good show.
Ned said what he did to protect his wife.
By all accounts Jory was a skilled and cunning warrior. He was the captain of Lord Eddard's household guard. He was related to the Master of Arms at Winterfell. He's had real combat experience and fought in multiple wars.
A part of him probably always wondered how he'd do against a renowned swordsman like Jamie Lannister. Maybe he even one day dreamed of crossing swords with the famous (and infamous) Kingslayer.
And when the two finally clashed, Jory... Jory lasted about three seconds.
I hate to say it... I really do...
But...
Skill issue.
Jaime used a knife
without a knife i think it would've taken him more time, Jory is underrated
@@theholyblade2797 Yea I mean Jory went up against the Westeros' best living duelist. You can't fault a dude for folding to the literal best.
@@hamsterfromabove8905so did ned and as we see ned held up , strugling a bit.
The atmosphere of Game of Thrones in Season 1 and basically all seasons before season 5 was classic and vintage, almost like an old film . Then George R. R. Martin left and some unknown people turned it into a Buzzfeed documentary.
D&D raped the corpse in seasons 6-8 but the show died after season 4 anyway.

1:44 Ned literally iced 4 dudes on his own
100% plausible here, because Ned Stark in the show is an amazing swordsman. Not quite as good as Jaime, but still top-tier.
@@MCSPARTAN501 Someone summed it up perfectly "Eddard Stark is not one of the best swordsmen in the world, but it was a near enough thing"
@@MCSPARTAN501 A good swordman with a Dragonsteel sword.
@@yidingliu8663 Nope. His regular sword isn't Valyrian steel. As far as I know, his only Valyrian steel sword is the Stark heirloom, Ice. That's a greatsword.
@@MCSPARTAN501 Good point. I just naturally assumed it's ice. Good point ser.
I love Jaime's expressions and changing attitude in this scene. 1:42 He started overconfident and cocky, like he expected it to be an easy task, then in 1:59 he's like ,,oh, who could have guessed, you're actually pretty good" and finally in 2:17 he probably thought that maybe all these stories about Ned killing Arthur Dayne in single combat might have been true after all.
And then about 2:30 when that one soldier stabs Ned’s leg. Where he’s like “you imbecile! This was a fight with honor and you threw that out!”
Straight facts.
Rewatching this, I think it’s interesting how Jaime doesn’t even bother fighting Jory with honor, just pulls a dagger and stabs him. But Ned on the other hand, that’s a duel he’s been waiting for, he wants to beat him fair and square, and then one of his men robs him of satisfaction.
"Jaime doesn’t even bother fighting Jory with honor, just pulls a dagger and stabs him"
How is that dishonorable?
Arthur Dayne fighting with 2 swords is honorable, but Jaime with a sword and a dagger isn't??
@@maikalaljaikisan6908That's the second most dishonorable thing you can do. He didn't beat him with skill, he had a hidden knife. If you need that explained how that's dishonorable, perhaps you're an idiot.
@@maikalaljaikisan6908
Arthur reveals his other sword and uses it from the beginning of the fight, Jaime showed that knife out of nowhere and surprise attacked Jory
@@maikalaljaikisan6908it was like 2 v 6 if anything Dayne was justified to use two swords
@@theholyblade2797If you don't assume that a soldier would be carrying a knife then that's on you.
poor jory, i think that was one of the first inklings of the show, showing us that this isnt like other series since jory could have been seen as being built up to be a main charecter as neds right hand man, then just dead
It was one of the most shocking deaths for me of the whole show because it happened so quickly basically without a fight and was brushed aside imemediately
I think jamie hates ned not just the way he judged him after he killed the mad king but also becuase he killed ser arthur dayne who taught jamie how to fight and he looked up to him as well.
+macurama117 he probably wanted to beat the man who killed his master.
Arthur was kingsguard of the mad king who killed by jaime himself . if arthur dayne was there he'd kill jaime before he reach the king .
I also agree, Arthur Dayne knighted Jaime himself.
I think if Sir Arthur Dayne was in the same situation as Jaime was, being ordered to burn King's Landing to the ground, I think he would have acted how Jaime acted. Arthur was best friends with Rhaegar, and I guarantee he knew that Rhaeger would not have wanted that.
payup117 no he didn't hate him because of that he hated him because he didn't accept him or respect him .. he knew Ned was honorable man and if someone like that doesn't respect you your nothing
“Hey look it’s Ned Stark and what’s that he’s got on his neck?”
“By the Pope,It’s a head!!!”

@@kkandsims4612 Haha, exactly what I was thinking. He really looks like the Shrek Prince Charming...
You can see Jaime's love for his brother here
As soon as Ned says that he ordered Tyrion's capture he unsheathed his sword with no hesitation
Jaime’s role model growing up was Ser Arthur Dayne. Dayne was praised as the greatest swordsman in the world, even greater than Ser Barristan Selmy. Ned was famous for killing Ser Arthur Dayne in a sword fight. Naturally, Jaime was eager to cross blades with the man who killed his idol. After all, how could he consider himself the greatest if Ned went unbeaten by him? When that guard stabbed Ned from behind he lost his chance to test his metal against the man who allegedly bested the greatest swordsman in the world.
