They didn't show that vision on the show. I guess they figured that it would give too much away.
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.
I'm a little disappointed that Sam just knew about the Black Gate. I'm wondering if that means no Coldhands.
The flyover shot of Yunkai was fantastic.
DOOD! Dario, Grey Worm, and Ser Jorah killing everybody was AWESOME!
Question for book readers. I'm somewhat spoiled for the rest of the 3rd book. So in appropriate, please whitefont responses to my question. I am wondering what the Red Wedding accomplishes in terms of the larger plot? I read the GRRM interview where he mentioned his writing of that scene. But I'm not sure from a plot perspective what he achieves?
