So my first question or discussion is solely about Ned and Catelyn and well......Jon. I'm just in the beginning of the first season of the show and it's interesting to see the exchange between Catelyn and Jon. I never thought it was very fair for her to despise Jon as much as she did. However, I will say I understand her resenting the situation. But I guess watching these scenes have made me wonder why Ned wouldn't tell Catelyn the truth. Yes, I'm very aware the secret needed to be kept but I never saw Catelyn as someone who would say anything at all. Think what you will of the character but she's very honorable and loyal (especially in regards to Ned). Now I'm sure this really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but as I was watching the scene where Ned sits on Bran's bed next to Catelyn, I couldn't help but think "you know, if Ned just told her....it would make his life soooo much easier". I guess he just couldn't betray his sister in any way and I do understand that. So I guess I wanted to see what you guys thought of this. Would it have been easier for Ned to tell Catelyn? Do you think she would've kept the secret? Or was it just too big of a secret to trust in the hands of anyone? Also, on another note....if Catelyn was still alive today, what do you think her relationship with Jon would be? Would she be proud? Would she still hold any resentment? Let me know what you all think.
