[@ladygrey7425]

You can truly tell Cregan is a Stark. Honorable, dutiful, just, very direct and doesn't tolerate deceit, etc.

[@timovangalen1589]

Honor wasn't necessarily a trait of the Starks. Ned inherited that through his fostering in the Vale by Jon Arryn. Before the conquest the Starks were the Kings of Winter, and they fought many wars against the houses that now serve as their bannermen. Winter is Coming was a threat, not a warning.

[@willdoelol]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@timovangalen1589This. Although the importance of honour was important, it was not their utmost priority. These are hardened people born to live through hard times where any coming winter would mean the certain death for many of the Northerners. The Starks saw to it that their people had enough to be fed, by any means necessary

[@ohinek007]

And still, they made him to carry Ice the whole time, just to remind the dumbest who this is. Riddiculous.

[@yakupgencyilmaz]

You don't know anything about the Starks 1- Ned stark was more of an Arryn than a stark, it was Jon Arryn who raised him and raised him. Ned knew he wasn't a typical stark, his brother and sister were typical stark and he says they had wolf blood that's why they died early. 2- Starks have great self-confidence and courage . Starks have ego, their honor comes from their ego, just like other northerners. We saw this best in GreatJon Umber in the series, so Starks act like Jon Umber. but the starks were more knowledgeable, intelligent and cultured than other northerners, they were winter kings before, they were architects, they united the whole north, they built the wall It is thought that the person who is thought to be the architect Brandon is not a single person, but actually a large generation, that is, many Starks were also architects as well as kings. 3- Yes, the Starks keep their promises, but this does not mean that they are calm, never goes back on his word and silent like Ned. They were not idiots who would threaten the entire north for a southerner. Even Robert Baratheon was more of a Stark than Ned. Ned Stark already compared his elder brother to Robert Baratheon. Also Ned elder brother took Barbrey Dustin virginty. Its not honarable movement Additionally, the Starks despise Southerners due to their beliefs and culture.

[@ryantrudell4686]

The line "Do you think my ancestors built a 700 foot wall of ice to keep out snow and savages?" really hits home. If humans generations and generations before you all came together and built something like... they probably didn't do it for no good reason. There was definitely something horrifying north of the wall. Strange how characters seem to dismiss it. I understood that's intentional, for dramatic purposes from a writing perspective. But still. That line was perfect.

[@Xainfinen]

They all knew what it was but the knowledge faded overtime, with war, famine, lack of literacy history can disappear very quickly. And In a time period past the high of magic, it was out of fear of the unknown. From the limited lore we have, asoiaf world seems to be set in a magical post-apocalyptic time where people don't even believe that magic was that powerful. That conjuring fireballs, illusions and warding spells like the ones imbuing the wall was the best they could do. While not as grandiose as most verses, its prime magic level seemed to be a less powerful version than that of Harry Potter. They used Blood & Flesh Warping magic to create Dragons, by just setting that George directly indicated the level of power of his verse. 100 to 200 years after the time asoiaf nobody would believe that magic or Dragons ever existed and it would be identical to our real life medieval time.

[@Maglors_grief]

It's too bad the Game of Thrones prequel Blood Moon was canceled. It was going to take place so long ago that dragons didn't even exist yet and was going to focus on the Starks and the history of the White Walkers.

Funny thing is, it's not really the "fantasy Northman" thing at all. It's just Sean Bean's accent. He refused to have a more generic Brit accent and just spoke in his own native accent so they just made every Northerner speak like that. So one actor's refusal to have a pretend accent made sure that every actor who'll ever play a Northerner in this universe will have to, in perpetuity.

Cregan talking of the Alysanne and Jaeharerys and their dragons refusing to cross the wall, (some theories suggest the magic in the wall or they feel the presence of the Others and are afraid), such a good call back and representation of ASOIAF lore, I hint of retconning the later seasons of GOW well for me personally. “Do you think my ancestors built a 700ft wall of ice to keep out snow and savages?” God I loved that line and really it should have been asked more after even hinting toward the Others.

It makes me wonder if the Starks’ belief in the Wall was reinforced or rejuvenated by Aegon’s prophecy - Torrhen knelt because Aegon shared his vision.

I love how this show is being far more book accurate than GOT ever was. For example Ice being on Cregan's back. The lore with Queen Alysanne was good too. She loved the watch.

[@freebird264]

Non-book readers have no idea how hard this guy would absolutely clap Aemond, Daemon or Criston in a fight.

[@RyanG0899]

Best of his era

[@ameliaflynnhayes]

Cregan is a true stark

[@nykia31]

Can tell that Cregan and Jace click easily. They are kindred spirits in a lot of ways.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

Both young and smart

[@davidhartley9115]

The night king was out there active you can just tell in and out of “sleep” night king knew he couldn’t strike yet as many dragons and armies could take him down plus much more Valyrian swords on the scene.

[@Red_in_Mt.Silver]

my old boy Ice !

[@shotshot954]

The voice of cregan Starc 🗿🗿🗿🗿

[@vodeankandosii3982]

"Will they fight?" "Well there's this one called Roddy the Ruin..."

[@stephenconroy5908]

Cregan actor Tom Taylor also played young Uhtred son of Uhtred of Bebanburgh in the first episode of The Last Kingdom. The north is strong in him.

[@roadwarrior4181]

I’ve heard people complain about Cregan needing his army to defend against the wall because no one knows the white walkers exist. But remember it’s almost 150 before Game of Thrones. The legends would be stronger and maybe the knowledge the Starks had was lost over time.

[@neutrum7636]

I loved the cold open to Winterfell, the music instantly took me back to the Heydays of game of thrones.

[@rebel1717]

Was SO pumped to hear of Cregan hint to the Winter Wolves!

[@123vict5]

I was hoping to see more of their friendship. We basically only got 5 minutes.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

Same, I was looking forward to Jace's time in the north. Jace and Cregan becoming like brothers and jace falling in love with Sara Snow.

[@StarScreamX]

GRRM built and absolutely mesmerizing, beautiful yet horrific world in the universe of game of thrones. everything and everyone are connected and you cannot not think about their relationships to one another.

[@syukrinasir3774]

I just want to see Cregan do his part during the Hour of the Wolf! 🐺

[@lucasbryan5129]

The Starks are truly Honourable ❤😍😍

[@slipkcat-pg9fs]

I never though i would miss a sword in my life time. miss you ice!

[@hlq6870]

they have a great chemistry together❤

[@rocketyank]

I'm already obsessed with Cregan.

[@average.user_]

"Their dragons, greatest power in the world, refused to cross it". Gives me the chills.

[@FierceDeityRick]

Well he definitely nails the accent

[@championjdg]

i notice that jace is talking then stop when he see the vast of land beyond the wall. nice touch. i also like that cregan is smarter then anyone. he realize that you don't build something that big and powerful only to keep the weather and wildlings out.

[@jackstone9569]

1:04 this monologue was a great throwback to the early seasons of GOT, which did such a good job of establishing an ominous atmosphere surrounding the north of the wall and the white walkers. Shame that the anticipation of their attack was more engaging than their actual attack but at least we get another profoundly chilling monologue hyping them up.

[@johncharlton199]

The Northern accent is peak comedy as a born and bread yorkshire lad 😂😂

[@AesirUnlimited]

And to think the threat this wall was built and manned for all those years to keep out would be beaten in a single night. Crazy stuff for sure.

[@nameless8847]

Not only the accent, but the voice is a bit similar to Jon's. I'm almost certain they did that on purpose. ❤️

[@galahad1876]

I love actors who play Starks speak with the same accent

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I love how they've emphasized the northern accent with cregan he sounds like Ned ,and jon snow.

[@TheJabady]

And Robb Stark too…

[@domtom9594]

Whoever plays cregan stark is perfect. From every aspect from voice, look, everything he is a perfect stark like god damn I want to see him more. Just way he represent himself makes himself a badass

[@MostWanted619]

It was awesome seeing the wall and winterfell again.

[@Samo_Adams]

He got accent + a big sword! Became Instant fan 😅

[@MJMS88]

Damn Stark is so BADASS!!!

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

"His grace stood at this very outlook and watched as their dragons, the greatest power in the world, refused to cross it." Even when they don't appear anywhere in the story, the threat of the White Walkers looms. You can feel their presence. A shame the knowledge Cregan had eventually become nothing more than old stories for his descendants.

[@atmos1x]

The way he replies with just Death is chilling knowing what's cooking up in the land of always winter.

[@lennydegriffa186]

I really do believe the Starks had passed down knowledge of the reason the wall was built by Brandon the Builder and why they had ensured the wall was manned at all times. And that the reason is why Torhhen Stark bent the knee as Aegons Dream of the horror to come from the North matched what had been passed down. The knowledge was lost when Ned a second son, inherited Winterfell as Rickard and his heir Brandon were killed at the same time.

[@user-xh4gk8bh1r]

Sean Bean choosing to speak in his natural Yorkshire accent forced all the Northerners to speak in the same accent LOL

[@michaelt8680]

This is a great scene.

[@richsalazme]

"What does it keep out?" Me: Disappointment

[@EyeOnTheTV]

OMG I was shaking and tearing up during this whole sequence. Especially when I realized that sword on his back is ICE!!

[@sapphiresong7]

Now that is a Stark. I've missed them! That delivery was *chef's kiss*

[@fav_clips]

Because of Ned's loyalty and honestness We see every Stark differently.
