It's the same scenario that Joffrey proposed to Tyrion in Episode 8 that he declined. Men undress the woman and vice-versa, then they're put to bed.

you could see she thought she had lost everything and finally gave up
it was so sad to witness
They are pathetic. Do they want a medal that they read a sci fi book over five years ago and finally get to gloat? It's just unseemly. Making matters worse is the fact that book readers have two entire threads just for themselves and still cannot contain themselves from wandering on in. I basically gave up on reading this thread halfway through the season because book readers, again, just couldnt help themselves. Whether it be through some oblique reference or strangely accurate intuitions this thread, much like to the Starks, is not kind to those playing by the rules.
didn't argue the build-up nullified the impact anywhere. in fact, the build-up was kind of perfectly tense.
I have argued at other points in the thread that the deaths weren't ruinous because I was never that attached to Robb or Cat, though.
This was definitely awesome. After such a chaotic and fairly rapid sequence, holding on Cat for several beats and then having a Frey slice her neck in such a blasé fashion in a still shot, then holding on the out of focus wall pretty ingenious conclusion.

Ah, Balon. I forget about him, considering they haven't shown him or his daughter at all this season.
I'm feeling like Edmore's probably dead. Blackfish has a chance, real damn slim one.

Technically he wanted 4, but Renly met his end as well. Stannis is on a roll of luck here.

Guess George RR Martin really doesn't like bedding ceremonies.

Who were the other 2 names? I forgot...
Robb's incompetence is what made him a good character. Nobody wants to see some Wesley Crusher type saving the day all the time. It was refreshing to have such a prominent "good guy" character make so many bone-headed decisions while still not necessarily being a stupid person - just incredibly naive and with a lack of foresight. In a nutshell, Robb was a great tactician and a terrible strategist (not unheard of with real military commanders). He couldn't see the forest for the trees.

I'm not sure Catelyn loving Jon would have been relevant. Jon is a bastard, and Ned wouldn't have ever tried to pass him off as otherwise. He was too honorable.
I'm trying to give myself a little more time before I rewatch the episode. It still hurts a little. That ending scene, god.
Save us, Arya.
An ok. Yeah I remember Joffrey suggesting it, I guess they showed them taking some clothes off as they carried them away tonight I just wasn't sure exactly what it entailed.
I'm thinking he's dead. Why would Frey give up his most beautiful daughter to him when they were about to slaughter Edmure's family. He's either dead, or the Frey's have him by the balls, which means there's no real reason to marry into his family anymore.
I read yiur post before you put up that it was a boardwalk empire spoilerThis place is hopping, compared to my usual foray into Boardwalk Empire threads.
Anyway, two things:
1) Great ending. It has been building for so long, and we all knew that was coming. If you didn't know that bad things had to happen, you really were deluding yourself. I had that same feeling we all had back before (Boardwalk Empire spoiler). You just have a deep sense of forboding. I'm just glad it wasn't Arya. That would have really demoralized me.Jimmy bit the bullet in Boardwalk Empire's S2 finale
2) Also, the relationship between Rickon and Bran reminds me a lot of the relationship between the brothers in "The Martian Agent: A Planetary Romance" by Michael Chabon. That story brought tears to my eyes, just from the brotherly dedication the boys had, and I felt that tonight watching Bran and Rickon saying goodbye. It's hard to put into words, but if you get a chance I completely recommend Chabon's short story. (I read it in John Kessel's anthology, the The Secret History of Science Fiction which has a reasonable Kindle version.)
Anyway, haven't read any of the GRRM books, but this dramatization is top notch TV. Cannot wait for season finale!

no no no, stop comparing. many people watching this still plan on reading the books and any comparisons to the books with the show is a spoiler and against the purpose of this thread. no book spoilers, I don't care how minute. same with book readers teasing how things will get better, not to give up hope. just shut the Hell up about the books completely, why is that so fucking hard?!
I am kind of wondering why some people think it's 'cheap' anyway. Considering the world the showrunners built up - what we've seen with Ned and countless others - and considering the details of the plot, how else would people have ended this scenario?
Fuck it, good guys don't stand a chance here.
Stannis is not evil enough which is why he lost his battle.
Team Lannister now. All hail King Joffrey the one true King of Westeros. Maybe if we make the bad guys fan favorites, they'll get killed off.
That look Roose gives Cat when she sees his chain mail is just sick.

She tells Arya that she "sees a darkness in her, with eyes staring back -- green eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes -- eyes that she will shut forever."
Maybe that's Tywin, Frey, and Roose?
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.
Never been so shocked and upset at a TV show in my life.
I was in love with seeing Oona Chaplin on my screen every week. What a brutal death her character got.
God this is so fucked up i am an emotional mess and fuck me for me allowing a TV show to do this.
I want Daenerys Targaryen to get those fucking dragons .....fuck start at Casterly Rock...fucking kill all the Lannisters. Start with the Imp. I don't give a fuck even though he's my favorite. Kill every single one of those fucks. Then go to Kings Landing, line them all up, make them eat dragon shit, rip out Joffreys heart and spoonfeed it to his cunt of a mother. Line them up and make Tywin watch as his family gets a face full of fire. Then its his turn, and no saving throw vs. dragon breath for this mother fucker.
Christ what did i just watch. Goddamn it.

He is Cat's uncle, Blackfish Tully. The one that a few episodes ago was taking Edmure to task for being a fuck up and such.

Just finished the episode and damn, I was spoiled about the Red Wedding a little bit but this was truly fucked up. I hope something really really bad happens to the Freys and the Boltons.
I'm glad the Direwolves death wasn't graphic, I don't know if I could take that.
Setting us up for baby Ned then seeing Talisa die that way....holy shit that was the most depressing thing out of all of this to me.
Show aside, I thought Robb's character did a terrible acting job when he was looking over the dying Talisa, his face seemed emotionless..or maybe it was supposed to be like that in the books? I dunno, I thought he'd be trembling or something.
Who do I root for now? For some reason I'm favoring toward Stannis, despite Mellisandre creeping me out big time. The Queen of the Dragons is just too far away from the major events right now.

This the most heartbreaking episode of the series so far. A mother witnessing the death of his son moments before her own death is the saddest thing I've seen. When Rains of Castamere was playing I feared something bad was going to happen but I'd never expected this massacre.
Walder Frey always seemed like someone who would never forgive people but why did he have to kill them all. It's not fair how bad things always happen to the good ones.

Joffrey and Balon Greyjoy.
Ah, that's right. He totally did say something in that scene about Edmure being his nephew. Brain fart. Thanks!
eh, Jon Snow got laid. That's good, right?
Do we know the eye color of all those characters? Jebus, keeping up with the details must be nuts.
Well he wouldn't be King, but Lord of the North right?

I'll definitely take your word into account and read that stuff. I don't even have a real emotional attachment to Rob or Cate, but bleh, maybe it'll settle in my mind.

Oh yeah. That was it. Cool, thanks.
I hope it is them and every member of their extended family that she tortures and kills. But at this rate she probably won't make it halfway through season 4. Hahaha. Fuck me this show is insane.
Also I have not read the books and am very glad I have not been spoiled at all. Book readers should just stay the hell out of here.
The prognosis at this time for future Wildling ass is questionable.
Watch it and Get out. Now.

It has a lot to do with Catelyn failing to keep her promise, I think. She never kept her promise to love Jon. I think it's appropriate on some level to say that she might be the harbinger of a terrible curse on the family, and now that she's dead, as messed up as this might sound, the luck of the Starks might turn around.
And I would expect, in especially ironic fashion, Jon Snow will somehow be the head of it. And Ned clearly was conflicted with the idea of Jon being a bastard or someone who couldn't properly be classified as no different from all his other sons. He said as much to Jon before he had him go off to the watch.

I would like to point out that the part where Jorah and them successfully return was extremely corny. There was no point for him to make some kind of face of horror to make us think Daario was dead. The whole scene was stressing really hard to create suspense when there wasn't any, it was weird.
Also, again with Dany just being given shit. Did 3 people really just take a city for her?

Yeah, something like that.
I think it's kind of odd the season is basically going to end here. The book is only halfway done and this is where the whole thing starts to pick up in a major way. It's going to be a painful wait.
Regardless the wedding I thought was pretty masterfully done. The scene where she pulls up his shirt to reveal the mail was really really awesome.
Oh and Catelyn getting her throat slit. Man that may have been the most brutal seen I've ever seen in any television show or movie. I'm not talking about gore either just the pure brutality of it. It was excellent acting. I had never really realized how well Cat's actress has done in her role.

Fuck I'm sadistic myself. I've just rewinded and rewatching the whole scene like 4 times now. Such great acting by Michelle Fairley as cat. She knew it all the time. Begs Robb to leave if he can, only to see Roose stab him in the heart and say the Lannisters send their regards. Then as she screams and watches the life leave her son, gets her own throat slit. Fuck man, just brutal. Going to be dreaming about this all night and thinking about it all week.

george should've made that the stark family motto
Lost in all of this is the fact that dumbass Jon Snow left when his brothers Direwolves were right there, and only whats his face and his girlfriend remained. Maybe there were more wildlings left and he's trying to lead them away from his brothers, that's the only thing that makes sense in my mind.
