Why didn’t Ned ever share the truth with Cat?
I understand Ned’s secrecy as a way to be protective, but wouldn’t his wife not only keep his secret, but also be more accepting towards John since she knows she wasn’t betrayed by her husband? Would it have made any difference?

Was Tyrion a good Hand?
Tyrion is quick to read people. He repeatedly mentions that Dany is unlike her father and unlike other rulers, and that he believes in her.
During their several conversations (the one after burning Randyl Tarly and Dickon Tarly), Tyrion tries to counsel again, and again to convince Dany to let Jon mine the Dragonglass. By then Tyrion should have sufficiently known the real madness of the Queen, and how she didn't choose to be merciful.
Tyrion counsels Dany to not rule by instilling fear but instead by showing people her merciful side, yet she doesn't seem to get the point home. She repeatedly insists on Jon bending the knee, though his people in North won't accept a Southern Queen. She keeps taking all rejections personally.
Tyrion still chooses to side with the queen and supporting her. He seems to be blinded by his overconfidence in being the best mentor, philosopher and guide.
Shouldn't he have understood the situation better, not chosen to be the hand of the queen? A counselor is supposed to be far sighted. Tyrion seems to be just believing in thr potential of what Dany could be, and not what she actually was. Thoughts?

"HODOR" origin
i’m kinda confused, so it was shown in S6 that hodor is a contraction of "hold the door", but i’m confused, was there an event before in hodor/wylis’ early life wherein someone commanded him that, that’s why it became a trauma response after that, up until he grew up, or did he just hear meera’s voice telling him to hold the door the same time as bran did while he was back in the past? SOMEONE PPS EXPLAIN, I DON’T GET THE LOOP 😭😔🙏🏼

The first season I've ever watched was the 8th season
My parents thought I was too young to watch the other seasons at the time (I was 11 when season 8 came out) but they said that the 8th season was bad enough that I could watch it. Honestly, I loved it. 0 complaints. My parents and I had a whole slumber party with popcorn and candy and takeout. I knew about 5 things about the plot that didn't seem very relevant and had a whole lot of fun watching a dragon burn shit down. I decided Arya was my favourite character, I called Jaime Lannister a sister-fucker the entire time and for once my parents didn't chastise me for swearing, and overall had a blast.
I'm finally watching the actual show now and yeah, the 8th season has dropped quite a bit in quality from what I can see (I'm only on season 3 now), but I think I'll always have a special place in my heart for it. It was hilarious seeing how offended my father was when I told him I loved season 8 after watching it the first time. I made him rewatch it about 2 more times afterwards and thinking about it, I might have to call and apologize for that.

which song from the show is your favourite?
i have nobody to talk about this with and i need to hear other peoples opinions, mine is either “light of the seven” that plays during the sept explosions, “the rains of castamere” that plays during the red wedding, that “jenny of oldstones” song that podrick sings in season 8, OR dracarys
light of the seven always gives me full body chills when i hear it, the scene of cersei blowing up the sept will be ingrained in my memory forever, was one of the best scenes shot on the show i think & the music is one the main reasons for that
