yea its fucked up, but im glad they did that. for us book readers, the theory of Robb's wife and heirs was a hot topic, because in the books shes not at the red wedding, and then theres mismatching descriptions of her and a whole secret plot between her mother and tywin versus the Starks. but seeing Robbs wife killed like that kinda closes the discussion on the topic of Robbs possible heirs. looks like the moon tea in the book was effective and we have seen the last of Jeyne Westerling

Interesting, I just ordered the first book on amazon. I don't think I can't wait for season 4 to come out.

Just out of curiosity, what book is the red wedding from?

Storm of Swords

I read the books not too long ago so the RW was still fresh in my mind. I thought I was prepared for this episode.

I wasn't...

They did a great job of making it even more brutal with the killing of the unborn child. The moment that Cat was sitting beside Roose and rolled his sleeve up to see he had armor on, and then that look he gave her was just perfect. After Robb was stabbed, the silence before they slit Cats throat was also perfect reflection of the books.

I wish Wind gotten out like in the books and killed a few people though. I also wish they had not wasted the nice Arya cliff hanger.

The North Remembers... I cannot wait for Wyman Manderly.

Rickon's goodbye to Bran was pretty soul crushing. I'm so sad that we only get the one event that kicks off the rest of the awesomness in SoS this season and have to wait another damned 10 months for the rest of it to unfold. Here's hoping for a shot of Stoneheart opening her eyes to end the season!

I think the Arya cliffhanger would have been difficult for film. It's hard to show a character taking an axe to the back of the head and living. They would have had to be sure to show that it was the flat of the axe and not the blade and that kind of gives it away as is.

My one fault would be, and I may be recollecting wrong, Roose should have said "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" not just "The Lannisters send their regards". I like that small touch, they should have left it in.

its from book 3. i remember just before the RW goes down in the book, i was complaining about how slow book 3 was. i would tell my brother its just a bunch of assholes walking around talking to each other. and then the red wedding happened.. and then the second half of book 3 is one of the best books ive ever read.

in the book, there was no silence. she was screaming after she murdered jinglebell and literally tearing her face off, a few of the Freys even comment on it by saying "She's gone mad", before grabbing her by the hair and slicing open her throat. as far as Greywind, i'm with you 100%. the only thing that would have kinda softened the blow would have been seeing Greywind eat some Freys, as opposed to being helplessly slaughtered, thanks hbo. fucking Wyman Manderly.... GET YOUR MEAT PIES! i can't wait!

i gotta agree. but maybe, just maybe, they didnt want the viewers to think they lost Robb and Arya in the same episode. people would lose their shit.

Why are the asoiaf book readers such douche bags? I've read the books, but I find this nerdy/elitist jargon when it comes to non-book readers and spoiler knowledge extremely annoying. It's okay to just enjoy the show/books or both, nobody cares if you've read the books 100 times and everyone else is a summer child, get a life.

I don't think it's douchey at all if readers aren't spoiling the events from those people. I threw my copy of Storm of Swords when I read the Red Wedding. Everyone I know had a pretty intense emotional reaction to it. Now, we're getting to enjoy everyone else finally getting to see what we've known was coming for a while. It's a good way to relive the gut punch you took when you read it the first time!

Also, the summer child thing isn't an insult. It's just a way of describing the un-spoiled people that are watching the show as innocent and not knowing that bad things were coming.

"War will make them old, as it did us. I pity them, because it will not last. It's a game to you, isn't it. It won't last, because they are the Knights of Summer and Winter is Coming."
