Sansa and Catelyn parallels in 1.01 and 8.01 (requested by anonymous)
“Sansa’s hair is constantly reflecting the people she’s learning from, or mimicking, or inspired by at the time,”
Sansa was a lady at three, always so courteous and eager to please. She loved nothing so well as tales of knightly valor. Men would say she had my look, but she will grow into a woman far more beautiful than I ever was, you can see that.
“Most have been forgotten. Most deserve to be forgotten. The heroes will always be remembered. The best. The best and the worst. And a few who were a bit of both.”
“Jaime does something here you would never expect the Jaime of season 2 to do. For Jaime, to humble himself to serve under anyone, is a huge thing. He would never do that for anybody other than her. We wanted to take the audience by surprise. It’s not a ceremonial scene on a cliff at sunset with billowing capes. It comes out of a throwaway moment, that even some people in the room think is a joke, and then they quickly realize it’s not. It’s a monumental thing. It’s a moment of grace and beauty in the middle of a nightmare, and the main reason I wanted to write this episode. The episode’s title, ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,’ refers to both Jaime and Brienne.”
— Bryan Cogman (writer of 8.02: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms)
