So many good insights on S01E03. Two points:
1. Your favourite bit where Robb says “One time she told me the sky is blue because we live inside the eye of a blue-eyed giant named Macumber.” and Bran replies deadpan, “Maybe we do.” It seemed like a reference to ASOIAF being a spark in GRRM’s eyes/imagination. This line recurs later in S04E03 (Oberyn Martell’s conversation with Tywin Lannister).
2. The theme of betrayal running with your future husband, Jorah Mormont. In this episode, he’s talking with Rakharo who asks in Dothraki “And your father, Jorah the Andal? He was a warrior also?” Jorah replies morosely, “He still is. A man of great honor. And I betrayed him.” In the same scene moments later, without a hint of remorse, he heads off to Qohor to send news that Dany is with child.
