Peppering the castamere song a couple of times prior in the series was very effective. The minute you start hearing it, even if you don't remember exactly the last time you heard it, that deja vu gives you the heebie jeebies.

Cersei basically explaining it to Maergery last episode was definitely something.

I might have to quit if this series is dedicated to Daenerys and she's supposed to be the super duper good person victorious leader. It will upset me too much if she's really who we're supposed to root for.

I watch for Arya, the Lannisters and littlefinger who are all really interesting and entertaining. Rob Stark's scenes were mostly boring this season, but it felt like that was about to change this episode and things would move quicker with the Stark family ...then the ending happened lol.

I felt like after Ned died they didn't want me rooting for anybody ha ha. I hope Arya becomes the warrior she wants to be though. And that she makes good on that promise to the Hound!

I know right. I Felt like it was so ominous that he just threw caution to the wind and no one really said anything after. Even I brushed it off a little since no one reacted. Then the Lord of Daughters (sorry I'm terrible with the names) was just like "oh ok bring another Stark its fine brah" after such a strenuous demand to gain access was weird.

As a strategist he should have known not to go back, and to bring his new wife.... wat. She even said at the wedding when he was trying to smooch her, "don't ruin it" or something. Wow.

As a strategist, he should have known that the Lanisters would have tried to pull something if everyone in Westeros knew about this wedding. Especially with The Frey that he betrayed once before.

While it was dumb, from his perspective he was safe. He ate bread underneath his host's roof. In Westeros, this is a huge deal and means that your host can't harm you. To harm someone after they have eaten your food dishonors your entire family name and essentially lets everyone know they can no longer trust you. It would be unheard of to even think of doing such a thing as it's political suicide.

I forgot what episode they talked about that, I think it was an earlier one.

The Frey's already had a pretty bad rep, but now it's going to be dreadful. Hopefully that at the very least ruins whatever they were hoping to get out of the deal.

Ahh someone just pointed that out to me in the other thread, but didn't realize it was already mentioned in the show.

Either way, I can't wait for the next episode. There better be some kind of repercussions for that kind of treason. Poor Arya just continues to get owned. lol

I'm surprised by all the Robb love in this thread. Once he decline to marry one of Frey's girls I thought he was a selfish twat. I knew he put the whole north at risk. I didn't hate to see him go.

I guess it probably has to do with whether you put yourself in that world or not. i can't really separate myself from, well, myself. So I didn't hate Robb for chasing after love because who the fuck wouldn't do that?

I get that it was tactically a terrible idea and that a king (or any leader of an army) needs to drop that shit at the door and deal with the matter at hand... but I just can't get mad at someone for falling in love. So, yeah, it sucked to see them murdered. And of course the extent of the violence against his pregnant wife was repulsive.
 
Haha, damn. Never read the books, but I actually expected Robb and maybe his mom to die, but his pregnant wife? That was really fucked up!

From the second Robb married that chick I knew something was going to happen with the Argus Filtch once they got back to him. They actually did an okay job making me think the guy accepted the apology, so I was expecting some fire witch magic shit to happen rather than a double cross.

Complete opposite for me. I know everyone is gonna focus on that ending, but aside from that everything else was great too.
Click to expand...

Don't feel that way at all. Just finished watching it and I can only remember little else. I suppose everything pales in comparison to the ending which was how it was intended I suppose.

You've got to look at his whole arc. He was just Eddard Stark's son and the heir to Winterfell before his whole family was swept up in the winds of disaster. I quite like the character.

I watched every episode before this one on hbogo including this one it was their as soon as it aired on hbo... It sucks a little bit though its not really true HD... sometimes it looks like shit...
 
Not sure if people are kidding but I apologize. Have never entered these threads before, didn't know there was a big book vs watcher thing. Just wanted to know where the episode ended. Really sorry, I'll edit my comments if need be.

Well of course everything pales compared to that ending. Most of the episode was spent building up that scene, but the other scenes were pretty good as well. I thought some of the fights earlier on in the episode were the best so far.
 
Last time I said book-readers shouldnt post here I was insulted from all sides for talking bullshit. ¨
I totally agree that next season this thread should be named NO BOOK READERS, we just cant contribute here. the show watchers can answer most questions themselves, if the answeres were mentionend in the show, and if there really are more questions that are not answered in the show, you can always pm the designated book reader, its in the OP.

The episode ended with a totally vacant Catelyn having her throat slit. Really a remarkable performance.

You really cannot do that in this thread. Its very simple to understand. Theres a thread right there on the front page.


Good lord Im glad I stopped using this thread while watching the show. Its just impossible to keep stuff from the books out of this thread, no matter what. There is always someone going "Well surely THIS is okay to talk about right?".

Ugh... Anyways great episode. Loved it and can't wait for next week now. That gut wrenching scream.... man...
 
Heavy said:
Remember when Robb executed one of the Lord's earlier this season because he killed the Lannister boys who were being held captive. He lost that Lord's banner and men after executing him. That sure came back to haunt the Starks. He wouldn't have even been at this guy's castle if he would've listened to the "damned fool" Edmure Tully and not executed him.
Click to expand...

The one thing about this show is that the Starks all make some critical errors that have absolutely disastrous results. Its not like they aren't somewhat obvious mistakes when they are making them (like Ned threatening the queen but not just killing her or Rob not choosing to deal with the murder of the Lanister boys after the war was over), but they always make them in the "name of honor" and in GoT - this world just shits on honor. Everyone who fights honorably dies horribly (harkens back to the fight with the fully armored knight in the Erie).

Its like the author keep hammering home the message - if you're in a fight to the death, honor is a luxury you really don't have and let me show you how stupid you are for following it.

Did anyone else feel danys part in episode was kinda ..... weak?

I would love to see a Spartacus-esque rendition of Daario/Jorah/Grey Worm murdering all those infinite spawns but the show usually shies away from the action sequences, or at least parcels them out infrequently, since the series is more about the characters, so it's better time spent on the preparation or aftermath of a conflict. Of course, there are times where it's needed to hammer the point home, but those are usually more personal, like tonight.

How did they spoil the book by asking where the episode ended? Calm down its like a inactive volcano in here. Nothing has happened but people think something just did.

Yeah, I was more so bringing that back up because a lot of people seemed to have forgotten that. They even had this awkward close up of rob chowin' down before for the feast "just in case".

I personally want more Brienne action. Wanna see how they handle her getting "the news".

Robb is sympathetic to some because he was put into a rough spot at a young age, and ultimately had good intentions. Marrying Talisa was a horrible idea politically, but he married her out of love, which is generally viewed as a virtuous thing. Similarly, all of his other actions which were awful politically and strategically had an "honorable" reasoning behind them. If people side with Robb, those are the reasons. Probably helps with some that he ain't ugly.

That's the Starks in a nutshell - virtuous, honorable people living in a world where those attributes are more likely to get you killed than anything else.

It says no book spoilers. Of which I didn't present a single one, or a hint of any. I joked about there being more story given there are three and a half more books to go but that's it. All I did was ask where the episode ended, something of interest to me as a book reader.

As I said, sorry *shrug*

There's a whole thread for people who read the books. Why is it so hard to use that one?

Book readers fuck things up and we want to nip things in the bud. It's pretty simple.
 
GAF, I'm just gonna come out and say that I need a hug. This episode was hard to watch. Fuck. Seriously. FUUUUUUCK.

This'll be an episode I hope to never rewatch. I don't even wanna post up any thoughts about anything specific. That was just... bleak.

I was afraid this was going to happen. I kept thinking about Rickon. In the back of my mind I KNEW his function up to this point was as a place holder character that would be used to fill someone's shoes latter... That meant Rob was gonna have to die... But the way it played out... It wasn't just "no mercy" -- It was blood lust in those scenes.

This is the problem.

Every book reader comes in and starts hinting and talking book stuff, then apologizes as if we can erase the memories of reading his post.

Did you read the book? If yes, then just read and move along, pretty much anything you say has the potential of spoiling the series. Even when you don't intend to do so.

It's BS.

I asked where the episode ended, that is it. I took it as this thread being dedicated to the tvseries, obviously not the case. In any case it's over.
 
Damn this episode was brutal, probably worse than the Ned one. I kind of thought one of Rob or his wife were going to die because of the horror movie like build up earlier with the baby and everything but I never expected this! Not both of them and Cat and not in this way. Cat killed that girl and didn't even fucking care, she was already dead inside before having her throat slit.

I find it ironic that Ned was killed because he was too honorable to play the game and Rob died because he wasn't honorable enough. Heh.

The stuff with Bran however was pretty fucking sweet.

There are 2 other threads where could have asked your question. Just avoid any talk of the books in this thread. There are other threads for a reason.
