As Theon's "mysterious" captor said a few episodes back, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention..."
Martin himself has said that we should expect a "bittersweet" ending to the ASOIAF saga.
If you're expecting the ending to be a big Stark reunion at Winterfell with trumpets, chariots, and ten minutes of goofy smiles and giggles, you probably should do yourself a favor and find something else to watch.

A nice compilation of the reactions.

Yeah, I imagine the best ending is, the world doesn't end. Or maybe the best end will be that the world ends. It's 50/50. Other than that, I imagine no one will be spared from punishment.

Last scene was hilarious, it was great. The mother's "Arrrrrggghhh!" was almost a Vader "Noooooo!"
Loved it, great episode!

Couldn't agree more.
Yeah I really hope he does as well. They didn't even take the helmet off the new one did they?
edit: They did
Yeah it kinda was. I was browsing GAF before watching the episode and i knew something big had happened. Honestly Game of Thrones is so big here we could do a weekly episode discussion thread.
However i literally screamed out NOOOOO when the massacre started holy fucking shit so brutal!
You only have one of these moments every couple of years with great television and cinema. I feel bad for people who have been spoiled. I just stay the fuck away out of OT's.

Catlyn weaping was...that was real pain, man. Couldn't help but feel that. Damn.
And the stabbing the baby first. I just...whew.

The episode 9 of season 1 AND 2 had the most significant events, you'd think people would figure it happens in 9 and not the finale, the finale has big stuff sure, but it's more fallout from 9.
It was a plot between the Freys, Boltons and Lannisters. The Freys and Boltons switched sides.

Roose Bolton was a bannerman sworn to Robb Stark. One of Roose Bolton's men (Locke) captured Jaime Lannister (and Brienne) and chopped Jaime's hand off. Roose Bolton had the opportunity to return Jaime to Robb, but he instead decided to send Jaime to King's Landing. When Jaime left, he told Roose Bolton to tell Robb that "the Lannisters send their regards" (since Bolton was going to be attending Edmure Tully's wedding, where Robb would be). Bolton betrayed Robb once he sensed that the war was a lost cause for the north.

Assuming you're a tv viewer
lord Frey was not, he had support from twyin, remembers all those letters he wrote. And lord Bolton betrayed Robb, formed an alliance with the lannisters and becomes warden of the north in return. But lord Frey only went thro with it because of twyin protection and support

It was exceptionally difficult to contain myself this episode...my wife asks lots of questions throughout as she knows that I've read them, and her response was felt more than the actual scene.
Full on hand over the mouth, no blinking, the occasional "holy shit" and "oh my god" were priceless. I just sipped my beer and shook my head. I liked the liberties that the show took...somehow made the scene much more visceral, IMO.
Oh well, on to next week.

all I could say at the end was, "this is the greatest show on television..."

What a nice thing to say, especially since lots of us have kept our mouths shut/dodged questions about it all season, knowing that it was coming.

Haha, nice.
Yeah you're right actually. I should have said alot of them or more than other fictions. Apologies.

No worries, mate. I'm sure there were lots of douches out there that acted as such when it was happening. Even worse, ones that made a big stink about what was about to happen a few seconds before.
I didn't even think of that but, now that you point it out...yes.

During the show I said how distinctively humoristic this episode is and that I wonder what's coming up.
If I knew how right I was... Serves me right for not reading the books yet, even though I have them. I don't know how this was written but they couldn't have shot this any better. Masterful punch right in the gut.

Compared to pretty much every other place on the internet, you've had it pretty good. In any case, you are misinterpreting how we (bookreaders) feel...We are just as pained by the tv viewer only we've held this scar for years.
Like all social animals, we want to share but we've not been allowed until now so you are seeing us "exhale" a bit....we all loved these characters so if anything, this is a "we get you" moment. Relax.
...and do read the books...they add so much depth and history and gives these events greater meaning.
One of my friends is like this actually. He is still my friend but he can be an actual douche about it. He pretty much spoiled Ned Stark for me back in the day and another major event that i thankfully half forgot about. I was not even talking about the GAF readers because i tend to stay away from the OT's
But really glad i got to have this moment, i'm still in shock!

It's as innocuous a title as it can be. For what has become GoT's patented, big episode 9 event I thought it deserved its own thread. The response is in accordance with it.

Early in the first season, before I started reading, my brother in law (who had read everything in print to date) simply stated that "it's not going to go well for the Starks, or anyone for that matter."
I sort of inferred what he was getting at, but took it more as "this series isn't afraid to kill." Man was he right.

So the Lannisters basically wiped out the Starks, and no recourse.
That's just great.

Welcome to the club non-readers. :|
While it is great to see how it affected everyone, I was actually spoiled by this before I read it and Robb was one of my favs. The dread reading up to it though was horrible. When you go back and rewatch, you'll see lots of subtle omninous signs from everyone involved. Anyway, I have no more favs now.
As far as my avatar, I'll stick w/ it for another week or so, then it needs to be retired. When Gut confirmed what would happen w/ Talisa too, I thought it would be good to have since it wouldn't be relavent much longer.
GRRM said some of the story was inspired in part by the War of the Roses. Anyone who lives in a town named York or Lancaster knows who eventually won that. This is a good sign and bad sign. :/

What time is it?
While it was shocking, I have no scars. I was happy Robb and Catelyn died. They played the game wrong and their decisions were starting to get on my nerves. Hopefully we are closer to Sansa meeting her end and Arya going on a murderous rampage.
I lied, some scars. Did they have to kill the dire wolf?
I bought the books after the second season. I finised half of the first book and was happy wth how faithful the show was to that book so I stopped reading. I'll get back to the eventually but probably once the show wraps up.

As a non book reader I didn't have a clue what was coming. Soon as I heard the music & Cat noticed the body armor I thought maybe shit might go down. And it did...Just brutal. Was way more shocked than I was with Ned's. The. way they closed with the silent credits, just eerie....and so damn good.
One episode left until its time to pick Team daenerys or Team Stannis I guess

Yea that was brutal. Theon's finger flaying was insanely brutal as well.

Seems most people can't know a difference between reality and a TV show. I watched, was like "WOW that sucks" at the end of the episode for 5 seconds, them was moving to do something else. Geez.

I didn't mind that. Theon is a dick
But seeing Cat's face was just devastating. Robb, her last son being murdered in front of her like that. She doesn't know that Bran, Rickon and Arya are still alive. And Sansa is with the Lannisters.
You could see her life fade away before she got her throat slit.

Alright, With this series dropping bombs all the time you can never be too sure.
Chairman Yang
if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
You don't actually feel this way. What's happened is that the pain of these characters' deaths has made your mind scramble for a defense mechanism; a way of mitigating the loss. Namely, convincing yourself the characters weren't that great anyways.
She wasn't pregnant in the book.
I'd say more like a theory than fan fiction but it's definitely not a spoiler
