This episode is overall great with a lot of interesting development. But the notion that the dying king would write down who should inherit the throne temporary until Joffrey "comes of age" with only the man who will inherit it temporary (Ned) as witness and then tell him to tell the others is so stupid it's unbelievable.. And is "comes of age" regarded as a clear term for that matter, I am not sure? When you see it you instantly understand that these factors will cause a massive conflict and claims that the paper is not genuine and yadda yadda yadda.
This is a lame excuse to justify a conflict (which the episode end with). Couldn't they come up with something slightly more plausible? Really?
Had it not been for that I would have rated the episode a strong 8 or even 9, but it ruined the entire episode and frankly quite a bit of the entire show...
