Jon challenges their host, who is low and crude, simply is demanding and demeaning when he is talking to the noble Commander Mormont (who ignores his insulting behavior). When Craster refers to them as southerners, Jon argues with him. Jeor reprimands Jon, noting that Craster may be disgusting, but the Nighttime's Sentry needs him.

He rejects Davos's appeal to consider an alliance with his brother Renly Baratheon, while Renly is claiming the throne for himself, despite Renly having widespread back up, or even with Robb Stark, since while Robb does not seek the Atomic number 26 Throne, he desires Northern independence, which Stannis sees as Robb "stealing the Northern one-half of his kingdom."

Notes

  • The title appeared in an article by media bistro but was not originally confirmed by HBO.[1] Later on, the episode championship was confirmed when it appeared on HBO'southward own schedule.[ii]
  • The title refers to the rebellion of the North under their new Male monarch Robb Stark in response to the execution of Eddard Stark.
  • The soundtrack playing over the credits is a rendition of the royal theme. In the official soundtrack release information technology is titled "The Throne Is Mine."
  • The phrase "The Northward remembers" is used a few times in the books (by Robb, Lord Wyman Manderly, Lady Dustin and Theon),[3] but but in later entries in the serial. It is chiefly used in the context of a warning, in the same way as "Winter is coming" or "A Lannister e'er pays his debts", that the people of the North will get fifty-fifty with those who wrong them (including other Northmen), particularly the Lannisters and their allies.
    • In the evidence, the phrase is used not only in the above context ("Impale the Boy"), but has an additional significant: that the people of the North remain loyal to the Starks ("The Door").
  • Every bit the HBO backside the scenes featurettes point out, it took days if not weeks for Tyrion to travel to King's Landing from the Boxing of the Green Fork, so logically he wouldn't be wearing heavy armor that entire fourth dimension. In that location was a considerable corporeality of discussion about what Tyrion should be wearing. Ultimately information technology was decided that Tyrion intentionally inverse back into his armor just earlier he arrived, and this is a subtle hint about how he'south choosing to nowadays himself, both to Joffrey and to Cersei. Tyrion wants to rub it in their faces that he has been doing more to actively help the war attempt than either of them, a state of war they started by Joffrey heedlessly executing Ned Stark, while Joffrey and Cersei spent the whole time in King'south Landing substantially just waiting for Lord Tywin to clean up the mess. They're fifty-fifty property a tournament in honor of Joffrey's nameday while over one-half of the realm has risen in rebellion. This makes Tyrion'southward barb to Joffrey that "Nosotros looked for you lot on the battlefield, and you were nowhere to be institute" all the more pointed.
  • Carice van Houten was previously asked to audition for a unlike role when season 1 was shot, but schedule conflicts prevented her from auditioning. She was asked to come back to audience during shooting of season 2, and was cast equally Melisandre.
  • In the books, Daenerys' silverish mare does survive the journeying through Cerise Waste matter on a diet of devilgrass. While edible, the grass was colored brown and grew in dry areas.
  • In the parallel book chapter, Daenerys gives names to her dragons, in honor of the important men in her life: the light-green one - Rhaegal (named afterwards her elder brother Rhaegar); the white 1 - Viserion (named after her blood brother Viserys). She names the black 1 Drogon without explaining afterward whom he is named, merely information technology is obvious - her belatedly husband Drogo.
    • In the show, the dragons' names are starting time mentioned on-screen much later: Drogon - in the finale of Season 4 "The Children" (in Valyrian), Viserion and Rhaegal - in the premiere of Season five "The Wars to Come".
    • Only in Season seven episode "The Queen's Justice", Daenerys explains after whom she named Rhaegal and Viserion; she never explains after whom she named Drogon (similarly to the novels), only it is obvious.
  • Josephine Gillan was but credited as new prostitute and only in Season 3 was her grapheme's name was revealed as Marei.
  • Two of Craster'south wives that appear in the background are actually director Alan Taylor'south daughters, dressed up every bit wildlings as a cameo.[four]
  • Robb has no manner to know that Jaime pushed Bran from the window. But iv people know that: Jaime, Cersei and later Catelyn and Brienne. Robb could have deduced that, though, similarly to the way Catelyn figured that in the novels - based on the data Stannis revealed about Jaime and Cersei's human relationship.
  • A pedal harp is seen existence played. However, such instrument was only invented in the very late renaissance/early on baroque, a long fourth dimension after medieval ages.
  • Robb says that information technology is rumored Balon Greyjoy has 200 ships; it is unclear whether the rumor refers to the Atomic number 26 Fleet lonely or to the total number of the ironborn naval forces.
    • According to the novels, the Iron Fleet consists about 100 warships; it is non, however, the entirety or majority of the whole ironborn naval forces, which consist of (co-ordinate to a semi-catechism source) near 500 longships.
  • Jaime tells Robb "iii victories don't brand you a conqueror". Actually, Rob won two battles: the Boxing of the Whispering Wood and the Boxing of the Camps.
    • The outcome of the Boxing of the Green Fork can be considered as a strategic victory for the Starks, but information technology is hundred-to-one that Jaime would regard that equally a Stark victory.
  • In the next episode "The Nighttime Lands", Ros tells Littlefinger "She [Mhaegen] works for you lot," indicating that Mhaegen was not killed aslope her girl, in dissimilarity to her fate in the novels.
