Well done.
I did not think they'd start with Talisa like that.

Yeah. I was rather surprised to see her there. No possible Robb heir now.
I like that they were clear about the plan for Rickon and Osha.

Somebody posted, "It's a nice day for a Red Wedding" over at WIC.

Richard Madden's reaction over at Zap2it.
Speakeasy recap.
I realize that having confirmed Talisa' pregnancy they had to kill her outright where with Queen Jeyne it was all speculation. Kind of glad that they didn't show Robb with Grey Wind's crowned head on his shoulders.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People at IO9 have been being "coy" for all values not actually coy but ten times as annoying about the upcoming Red Wedding, and it was truly irritating.
However, knowing that blood would be shed, I didn't actually think that large a percentage of the family the story opened on would bite it within minutes of each other.
Sometimes I wonder--is this to make me feel better about current governments? Because people with the leeway to go batshit homicidal will do so, and at home as well as abroad. Sheeit. As an assassin, I wouldn't know where to start.

And purely for personal spite too.

sumi, I was just thinking that one of the things I liked about the way the books presented that was that we didn't actually see it happen, just got people talking about it afterwards. So I'm also pleased it wasn't onscreen.
Also - poor Ygritte, just left there after she had Jon's back!

Didn't Dany have a dream about the Red Wedding in the books? Or possibly a vision?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Talisa's murder was pretty brutal, even knowing where this ep was headed.
That said, being spoiled, I was a little disappointed that it didn't play out exactly as it did in the book. With the music playing louder and louder to make sure Edmure and Roslyn didn't hear anything that would make them stop having sex and come see what was wrong. And who are you, the proud lord said, that I should bow so low?
But man, Catelyn. Poor dead badass desperate Catelyn.
Did the show ever explain the bread and salt thing? Or was that just totally over the heads of people who haven't read the books?
