I don't think I have ever been as completely and utterly destroyed by TV before. There are no words.

Who the fuck do I root for now?

Once Robb learned of Ned's beheading, why didn't he just send a letter to Stannis saying:

Hey, want to join our armies or something? You can take the throne, I just want Joffrey's head. Sound good?

kthnxbye,

Robb.

???

What am I forgetting?


He was also young and impetuous. Remember when he first goes to war, he didn't want the throne at all. He wasn't interested in it. He was only interested in his father.

Then he won a couple of victories, and he loses his father. At that point, he calls his banner men, and they basically place the King in the North crown on his head. He just didn't decline it, possibly due to his youth and inexperience. And possibly because he may have started to feel that he was in control of the war.

He sent Catelyn to negotiate with Renly. Stannis had the smallest army out of all the kings, Renly had by far the largest. Also, Stannis would have never accepted Robb ruling an independent north; Stannis wanted a united seven kingdoms with him on the throne. He wouldn't settle for anything less. And Robb was ultimately beholden to his lords, who would never accept him bowing to a new king (even if it was Stannis).
 
I'm still #TeamSansa/Arya/Dany in my heart, but honestly I'm not as attached to characters anymore. I'm just watching how things develop now from here on out and crossing my fingers for an eventual ending I can enjoy.
I'm just hoping for an ending where Stannis and Arya joint-kill Joffrey somehow. There would be nothing better.

Her sense of entitlement is funny considering it's the same reasoning Viserys used, she's just nicer about it. That's why you need to join #TeamStannis.

I might, I don't like the red coat lady though. I may have to end up rooting for the Lannisters even though Arya is my favorite character on the show and I want Arya to get her vengeance.

Just because the Lannister's are now the only family that wins wars and gets shit done within the real world, without appeals to supernatural hocus pocus. That stuff bores me, although I did like the shape shifting guy.

but but but I'm trying to damage-control the mess some book readers are trying to create in this thread :(

DON'T LUMP US ALL TOGETHER GUYS... GUYS? GUUUUUUUUUUYS! :(

We only mean ppl gloating about knowing everything in here and telling us we aren't allowed to be mad or sad
 
Lord Karsktark also murdered Lannister prisoners who happened be kids due to finding out Jaime was released by Cat. His army just left not join a side just went home
Still though, it shows people are willing to betray their authority for what they believe in/want. And Roose and his men were allied with Robb right? It'd be like right now getting Ser Loras to murder Joffrey or something.

Then the unbelievably rage worthy entitlement complex comes in. "I deserve this huge castle and throne and this and that because I was born with a certain name."

You've just described every character in the show who seeks any element of power. A person's name is how the line of succession works, and where respect is received. It's why it's viewed as such an insult and a detriment to be given the Snow name.

Just spent 20 minutes crying in the bathroom. I'm done.

You have a nice smile

It really didnt register until Catelyn notice something was up, and even then I figured maybe they will keep them prisoner or something , not go all Manson family on the place.

Can someone give me a refresher on Bolton? What was his deal leading up to this?

Bolton's bag is basically: "oh hey robb, oh you're not marrying frey's kid? huh okay. You killed Karstark? Uhm. Hey Tywin, I think you have a better chance winning this war, lets be pals."

I need to re-watch that then.

Wait what? Where was it part of Dany's dream or whatever? Her scenes just showed Kings Landing or the Iron Throne broken down with snow falling or seeing Khal Drogo in the tent with their son.

When did they show this wedding?

I haven't rewatched that scene, but I'm pretty sure he confused or merged the 2nd book with that episode.

they didn't. It's in the book.

They didn't, he's lying.

I think that was only in the book.

Just talk about the stuff you have seen on the show and there are no problems, start talking about stuff in the book that i haven't seen is.

Some more fanfic. Arya frees Grey Wind, hops onto his back and rides in. Wolf goes into super beast mode and flames shoot out of his mouth killing the bad guys. Robb's wife still dies though, to be fair.

Roose was more just getting in Tywins good books to make sure House Bolton survive the war due to Roose seeing the war as over. Alot of Houses on either side would do same, like if Lannisters where losing most them would have jumped ship or try to kill Tywin or Joff. Alliances are fickle in Westros and one false move can break them

This is why book readers TBH just shouldn't post here cause honestly its getting ridiculous.
You should've seen SA today, people were literally spending money to change people's avatars into spoilers for tonight. I didn't actually pay any attention because who wants to pay money to do that? But I guess it was a thing.

Yeah, so what I'm saying is book readers can get pretty insufferable.

I am just in shock and in awe like I've never been before watching a series. I don't post much here but man, after this I needed too.

GRRM is really a brilliant asshole. He makes us fall in love with the Starks and it's direwolfs and keeps destroying them time and time again. Wow.

And the most sick part is making Arya being there so close, and again witnessing her family being butchered. Brutal.

Even comicbookgirl19 added to this by uploading the Stark family video a few days ago, she set me up for an even bigger heartbreak.

I didn't get the feeling that Jon left Ygritte behind, it felt like he was rushing towards the wall because the eagle is going to warn Mance somehow.

Which books do I need to read to catch up to the series?

The ultimate irony will be when they are spoiled on the ending of the series by TV watchers once the show passes the books.

Ha, this is how I felt. Even though there was no reason for Frey to let them stay alive, there was still some small hope (apparently, in whatever fantasy I'm living in) Robb and Catelyn could still survive some how.
