really loved when ser allister thorne gave the other dude (can't remember his name) this "you are a fucking idiot" look and then when the men approached him to take him outside it seems like he's going to defend his buddy but then just steps aside with a "this is the what happens in the nightwatch" vibe
lol
Yup. That was another great scene. The expressions in that scene were better than any dialogue they could have added and it's like Thorne finally gave in to the way things are going to be and knew better than to say or do anything there. I think he realized at that point that Jon isn't messing around and respected him more for how he handled it.
Basically, that scene was taking us all the way back to the first episode of the show where Ned gave his boys that lesson about leadership and doing the deed yourself because the law is above all else. Now, that might not be a good thing considering Ned's fate, but you could see the impact he had on Jon and how that differed from Dany's scene where she fucked up and couldn't even enact justice herself. Hell, she looked away and flinched.
A good way to show the difference in leadership and how Jon might be a bastard, but he learned to be a leader far better than Dany and many others on this show. He earned the respect of his peers and Stannis while doing what was right in the eyes of the law that they follow, while Dany is emotional and can't enforce the law while looking indecisive in front of the people she's supposed to lead.
Such a well done show. All the scenes come together for such a bigger picture, whether it be character development or the actual story that's progressing.
Jon is becoming one of my favorite characters, but that might also have to do with the fact that I don't think he's going to die anytime soon since his character is still evolving and becoming a bigger part in the bigger picture, especially with him getting more and more air-time in a show packed with 100 characters you're supposed to be following.
