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.
Man. I knew it was coming and still the Red Wedding was a total gut punch. My poor, poor Arya.
no shit. she is absolutely the person I felt the worst for. Argh.
There were actually points in time that I expressed concern to other book readers (backchannel, natch) that we were being conspicuous in our
absence
of in depth discussion about
Robb and Catelyn,
and the things they were going through. Frankly, I'm surprised that, in three years, nobody ever noticed there were a couple of characters the book readers rather studiously avoided discussing.
