Game of Thrones, Episode 1: Winter is Coming

Summer’s Role in the Episode

Summer, Bran Stark’s direwolf, is introduced in this episode alongside the other Stark children’s wolves. While he does not have a major role, his presence is slightly more significant than Shaggydog’s, as he is shown accompanying Bran in a couple of scenes.

Key Moments and Contributions:

  1. Introduction as Bran’s Direwolf - Summer is one of the five direwolf pups found near their dead mother. Jon Snow convinces Eddard Stark to let the Stark children keep the wolves, ensuring Summer's survival. Bran is assigned Summer, symbolizing their future bond.
  2. Accompanies Bran - Summer is seen following Bran through Winterfell, reinforcing their connection. He is briefly mentioned when Catelyn notes how fast the direwolves are growing.
  3. Presence Before Bran’s Fall - As Bran climbs the tower, Summer is seen pacing below, which subtly builds tension before Bran discovers Jaime and Cersei. While he does not intervene or directly impact the scene, his presence reinforces his connection to Bran, as if sensing danger.

Impact Rating: 0.5/10

  • Symbolic Presence – Summer's introduction establishes his future bond with Bran.
  • Subtle Foreshadowing – His pacing before Bran's fall adds slight tension to the moment.
  • No Direct Influence on the Plot – Summer does not affect any major events.
  • Limited Interaction – While he appears a couple of times, he does not actively participate in any scene.

Final Score: 0.5/10 – Summer has a minimal but slightly more notable presence than some other direwolves.
