'Shindig'
[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.
Jilli,
FWIW, I thought "Red Wedding" referred to another wedding. So, as book readers among you might imagine, I have been on edge for every damn wedding or mentioned wedding since Season 1.
Pete might not know it is THE red wedding unless he has some kind of preparation ahead of time. The ominous Internet mentions tied with Billy Idol clued me in to avoid twitter yesterday and watch the ep without benefit of your posts or others.

Pete has been speculating that the Red Wedding is the wedding of Joffrey and Margaery. He has NO idea.
right. I was with Pete.
Be gentle with him.
no one interesting to me died last night
Damn, woman, that's cold! Cat Stark was among my very favorites. Sob.
I really need to read these books, don't I? Especially since DW has and keeps prompting me to read them.
Haha The Onion: [link]
Also, footnote to the Red Wedding, it is based on an actual event that happened in Scotland in 1440 or so.
I wonder if we're going to get a GoT on Facebook for this week. I wouldn't blame them if they just skipped this week.
I have been thinking about fiction that makes me cry all day, and have cried twice at my desk¹, so if that makes you any happier--I am as sad as a random GoT feeler.
However, last night's episode's reason for existing is this tumblr post:
Jon Snow: crows before hoes
And I did even feel bad for Ygritte, but that line needs to exist.
¹: I've found I can stop crying (hell, thinking too) if I pause and think "All these guys have penises!" Rescued me from some awkward moments, delivered me into others. But I'd rather you wonder why I'm laughing than why I'm dabbing my eyes with my napkin.
Bwah!
Also, S. just told me a joke on Twitter last night was: "Why isn't George R.R. Martin on Twitter? Because he killed all 140 characters."
Those are both excellent.
