To all people complaining about Ned being killed: it is what happens in the book, and changing this just for the sake of keeping a good actor on the show would've been terribly disrespectful to the author of the books. Just sayin'.

Having read the book I was dreading the moment when Eddard Stark would be executed.As if that was not enough the character was played by one of my most favored actors,Sean Bean.However, after having watched nine episodes I am glad that I got to like and Support other main and supporting characters(Daenerys,Tyrion,Jon Snow,Bran,Jaime Lannister,Ser Jorah Mormont,Ser Barristan Selmy and quite a few other).I was hoping that the series would remain faithful to the books and my only fear is whether they can keep doind it considering that in the near and distant future we should be seeing dragons,multiple resurrections and the use of dark magic.

I don't think it's necessarily was a bad move at all. I have not followed the book yet, but i loved the irony of the way in which ned stark was killed.
There are a lot of other characters, and I believe the show has more than enough power to continue. Trust me all the people who are saying they have lost a viewer will come back for the finale. It is inevitable.

How dare they follow the books! Where do they get off staying true to the source information?
Who is to say what will happen? This is a world where summers last years, dragons flew the skies, the dead walk, and blood magic is used to cure the sick.
i am Very impressed at how this show follows the books almost word for word so killing off a main character is just part of how the series goes, if you are angry at how it is then you prob should never read the books.......i for one love them both!
If they wanted a plot they sort of needed to kill Ned or else the books would have to basically be completely disregarded and then it wouldn't be Game of Thrones

Leaving now would be a huge mistake. Books 2 and 3 are far better than the first.

Killing Ned Stark was like killing Tony Saprano in the first season, Bad move! You lost a viewer.

This is the moment that separates the people who GET this story from those who don't.
