Recap: Game of Thrones Season 1 Episode 1 "Winter is Coming" part 1

We ended the episode about halfway through. Robert asking Ned to be the Hand of the King was a good place to stop, because this action was the apex of the episode itself.
Jon Arryn's death is the main instigator for the series. It's important to note Queen Cersei's conversation with her twin brother Jaime concerning Arryn's death, and that she's concerned he may have told someone about something.
The Starks get their direwolf pups and Bran witnesses his first beheading, with surely many more to come. Jon is not a true Stark himself, made evident by Catelyn’s unabashed glare, but he’s still a brother to Bran and comforts him after the beheading.
We caught a glimpse of the White Walkers in the very beginning. White Walkers are a children's tale of frozen zombies beyond the magical Wall built to protect Westeros against them.
