LAUGHTREY

Modesty becomes a woman
Actually just feels like you're being fucked with and manipulated by the writer

If you want fairy tales and happy endings, you and Sansa can go frolicking in the gods wood and play come-into-my-castle and king-of-the-crossing with wooden swords and play shields.

Real.fucking.shit.

Well... now that a major plot arc has reached its conclusion, the story won't feel as scattered anymore. It looks like Jon, Sam and Bran are about to converge (though knowing GRRM, something probably could go wrong). If so, the story will go back to being 5 threads: King's Landing, The Wall, Dany, Stannis and Arya.

That spell with the leeches seems to be at work though, so there could be more red in the horizon.

Honestly, I kind of feel they must have known or at least had a feeling, because that guy went right for her stomach when they stabbed her.

I think that is what they where getting at with Walder looking all over her body during the introductions (plus being a perv)

Found this on Reddit and had a nice laugh:

This is why book readers shouldn't be in the thread.
They start giving cues about plot direction, characters that some complain.
Shit sucks, bunch of bitches.

Yup too naive for my own good when watching this show. It's like No Country For Old Men.

I'm going to expect Joffrey to rape Sansa, give her a Lannister kid. I'm going to expect those Nights Watch mutiny guys to catch up to Sam and Gilly, kill him, kill the kid, rape Gilly.

Jon is getting too popular and is too noble like Ned was and didn't kill that horse breeder. He'll most likely get killed by Mance Raider who will attack Jon at Castle Black, and with Tormund probably pull Jons guts out through his throat.

Probably by the end of the show, it'll be Rickon left. He's our last hope.

I remember when the show started, and John Snow was being shunned all the time. I thought, man it must be good to be a Stark, poor John... It's so not good to be a Stark!

the thing that made me laugh so hard is when Robb sees the wife for Edmure Tully and then Walder Frey gives him the eyebrow like "Oh, you didn't know I had HOT daughters too? What a pity you chose Talisa..." lol

This wasn't the season finale, right? There's one more episode next week?

Yup

The only despicable Lannisters are Joffrey and Cersei.
I'd go as far as saying only Joffrey. I feel sorry for Cersei most of the time, she lives in shadow of her brothers and has pretty obvious penis envy because her father ignores her most of the time. And she can't control Joffrey at all and obviously hates some of the decisions he's making, she even tried to stop him from executing Ned back in Season 1.

I rem the leech spell, but what was the significance to this episode? I don't remember what the words of the spell were

When reading ASOS I had to reread the Red Wedding to make sure that what I read actually happened. I then just stared blankly at the book for a moment and literally chucked it across the room in a rage.
I did the EXACT same thing.

It was worth continuing on, but I'm still annoyed by what happened.

Hows Little Finger going to take this?

It'll greatly add to the general chaos and confusion, so he'll probably be a pig in shit.

It has not really been mentioned, but David Bradley did an awesome job as Walder Frey. I loved him as King Henry's court fool in the Tudors and now this.

This show has an impressive way of getting the perfect actor to portray truly despicable people. Walder Frey, Joffrey, and Roose Bolton are all perfectly cast.

If your only thematic thrust is "shit's cruel" you're making a sort of boring story

I believe the thrust is more along the lines of "shit is (relatively) realistic." In life, heroes die all the time with the villains triumphing, so there's no reason it should be any different in a story that is influenced by real (and brutal) historical events.

In many other stories the Starks would be portrayed both as noble and as successful. The story here flips that cliche on its head and argues that naivety and generally wanting to do the right thing is likely to get you and everyone you love killed. It takes a very pragmatic approach towards its politics, rather than idealistic. The Starks keep refusing to play the game and they keep dying for it. The idea is that good intentions are ultimately irrelevant.

Having said that, it's also pretty clear that the Starks still have some cards up their sleeves, namely the younger members - Bran and Arya. Shouldn't surprise anyone if they die too, though. That's the benefit of a story that has such high stakes - it's unpredictable.

:( just in case someone complains.

In the grisly sequence — appropriately titled “Red Wedding” — Stark is betrayed by his own men and butchered, along with his mother Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) and pregnant wife (Oona Chaplin).

“Robb Stark with his dead queen in his arms and a stomach ripped open and blood pumping out of that,” recounts Madden. Describing the carnage, his voice choked up at times.

“You know his mother [is] getting her throat slit — it was a really disturbing day,” he says.

“I left the set and went straight to the airport and got on a plane because I didn’t want to be there anymore,” the 26-year-old Scottish actor adds.

“I was the crazy man on the flight crying the whole way to London” from the show’s Ireland set.

I hate to admit it, because right now, I'm more Anti Lannister than I ever have been...

But god, I still love Tywin. Charles Dance just KILLS that role.
 
The Starks were the focus of the show early on and they have been portrayed to be honorable and good. Fuck, they even have a heroic theme that plays whenever you see thei house sigil. There is a reason why people are attached to them. They are the most "good" of all the houses on the show. It's very obvious

The thing I like about this show is that it's NOT stuck in these roles.

Sure, the Starks are shown to be "honorable" ... but there's layers.

Mother couldn't love her bastard son- Rob isn't nearly as honorable as his dad- Theon is ... Theon and Ned kinda had his problems. The younger ones are their only hope! :eek:

It's pretty clear to me that not much will happen next episode. All three episodes have climaxed on the 9th episode (Baelor, Blackwater, and tonight's episode who's name escapes me).

yea but she fucks her brother

And here I thought Jon Snow bailing on his woman would be the biggest thing to piss me off about this episode. !@#%&
