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?

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?

Huh, I remember the Red Wedding being a Catelyn chapter. Of course she doesn't live to see the whole thing.

Oh, yeah, in the House of the Undying. I don't remember what all we saw in there last season.

It was a Catelyn chapter. . .

They didn't show that vision on the show. I guess they figured that it would give too much away.

Whew. That was fucked up.

The promo for next week.

Man. I knew it was coming and still the Red Wedding was a total gut punch. My poor, poor Arya.
