It was. In season one there is a brief scene where Ned is on the Iron Throne while Robert is on his death bed and he dispatches Sir Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, along with a few dozen soldiers to the north to try and reign in The Mountain and Lannisters.

From the HBO Viewers Guide: (tagged just in case)

Spoiler

The Brotherhood Without Banners

A group of outlaws, they answer to Lord Beric Dondarrion, who was tasked by Ned Stark, then Hand of the King, to bring Gregor Clegane to justice. With Joffrey Baratheon's ascension to the throne, Lord Beric's men became a guerilla force, sabotaging the Lannisters' Riverlands forces at every opportunity.

Ah. This makes sense. I'm filled with jitters for this Sunday's episode!!!

Seeing through the eyes of crows is also not possible, but it's a fantasy series so I can swallow stuff like that pretty easily.

If he was using magic that would be more believable within the confines of the fiction. Verisimilitude, not realism, is lacking.

Well, Thoros was right beside him. Just saying.

Byron Ferguson begs to differ.

 

[Cyan]

Eh, I don't see any verisimilitude problem. Seemed fine to me. It's not like we know if he would've actually hit the dude.

 

[CitizenVectron]

Spoiler?

How does that affect it? Is that a book spoiler?

 

[Violet_0]

Byron Ferguson begs to differ.

well, he's got great precision but I didn't see him perform the arrow trick from the show
nah, I don't really mind too much

Fairly large target as well

From the HBO intro to new characters video (on Thoros):

Spoiler

Thoros is a Red Priest of the Lord of Light. Same sect as Melisandre. He however was not nearly as zealous in his faith as she is.

New episode tonight: Walk of Punishment

Spoiler

Tyrion shoulders new responsibilities. Jon is taken to the Fist of the First Men. Daenerys meets with the slavers. Jaime strikes a deal with his captors.

 

[Nintaiyo]

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but why would Jaime want to escape Brienne? Sure, he'd rather travel to King's Landing alone, but creating a scene in the middle of a traveled bridge in an area where everybody wants him dead seems like a lapse in judgement.

Indeed it has.

It's less embarrassing for him to escape his captors than be exchanged for a couple of girls, plus it benefits his side in the war to not give them up; also, he wouldn't have to travel to King's Landing alone, he just has to quietly roam around until he finds people that fight for his side. It's much safer to travel alone for a bit hiding from only one side, than to travel all the way to King's Landing hiding from both Lannister and North people.

 

[ecurbj]

I'm beginning to like Margaery Tyrell. She is quite attractive also. I don't know why but...

He was so awesome of a character. I hope we see him again.

Every time I think Joffrey has power I think back to this part, lol.

 

[Funky Papa]

Marg is some hot shit.

It is known.

Wrong thread.

 

[The One and Done™]

First 8 minutes were fucking hilarious

 

[Kimaka]

Daenerys is really starting to irritate me.

 

[Madness]

Daenarys is so naive sometimes... She keeps on screwing herself over.

 

[Violater]

Pod

 

[Kimaka]

I think she has a plan but I hate how she acts like she is Queen and demanding others to treat her as such just like her brother.

 

[BlueTsunami]

hahahhahahahahhahahaha

 

[ezekial45]

Does he have a big dick or something?

 

[Phatmac]

A dragon is way better than an army!!
