The showrunners discuss how Bran’s powers allow them to explore how the history of Westeros has been told versus how it actually happened.
“Honor is a kind of wished for state among certain members of the society who want to be the best possible versions of themselves.” Benioff says. “They want to live and die bravely, fighting according to a certain code, and certainly Ned embodied that better than anyone we’ve seen, I think, on the show.”
“Honor was so important to Ned Stark that it was worth losing his life for, but he was completely ready to let go of that honor and excellence to do something he really felt was more important,” Weiss adds. “That could make a very, very strong defense for Ned doing what he did, but it certainly does puncture the mythology of Ned Stark that’s running through this world, especially after his death.”
The featurette also examines Daenerys’ meeting with the dosh khaleen, and Jon’s awakening at Castle Black.
Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
