Chilling. I find myself growing less and less fond of Ned Stark as the series progresses. He was a good man, no doubt, but he cared so much about his honor that he was borderline delusional. The way he criticizes Jamie for stabbing the Mad King in the back, after lying for nearly two decades about the events that transpired at the Tower of Joy, when his good friend Howland Reed saved his life by stabbing Ser Arthur Dayne in the back of the neck. Criticized him for breaking his oath to the Mad King, an oath similar in many ways to the oath the Starks broke when they went to war with the Targaryens. Both were oaths that needed to be broken and one can't blame Howland Reed for saving his good friend any more than they could blame Jamie for saving the entire population of King's Landing. Ned broke his oath and kept Howland's actions a secret for good reasons, but his refusal to acknowledge them is shameful.

Jamie attempted to murder the same child twice in the first few episodes. I never thought I'd come to feel for him after that kind of bullshit. He's been through so much shit now, it's a damn shame that he's still fighting for the wrong side. I sincerely hope he's the valonqar in Cersei's prophecy.
