Thoughts while watching season one, episode one of Game of Thrones.

• They don’t hire Wall watchmen for their creativity. “No, I’m not a deserter. I’m a messenger. The white monsters or whatever are definitely coming back. Here, I drew you a picture of one. Hey. Hey, why are you resting your chin mournfully on your sword?”
• “When they die, you will bury them yourselves” - new Petco slogan
• Catelyn Tully: “The raven brought more news."
  Ned Stark (internal): “Corvus corax, common raven, smartest of all birds. Rare in these parts.”
