That was the Blackfish, not Edmure
Edit: beaten
This is the point where I try to backpeddle from my embarrassment by trying to make some funny joke about Edmure, but I can't think of one right now so just pretend I did and laugh okay?
Frey was testing Robb's loyalty.

The Starks were all within reach of each other (except Sansa) last night. Bran, Rickon and Jon. Cat, Robb and Arya. So sad
So sadistic. GRRM is a mad man.
Wow, I didn't even think of that. Goddamn, they were so close on all sides. It's like Fievel and his dad.

Edmure went to go find a mill to occupy?

I think he was saying it in jest. I don't think there was any way for him to know, on account of being in route to Kings Landing without much news.

He's probably still alive just because he ain't gonna do shit. :lol
Edmure is Catelyn's brother, not her cousin.
I think the RW was all on Bolton as a way to get Lannister's favor.
The circumstances with Jaime was the tipping point for him to actually do it.

all the bran's crazy powers talk has lead me to come up with a new crazy theory.
okay, so someone said that if your human body dies when you warg, you get stuck in the thing you are possessing. what if bran is about to be killed, but does this on a human? he would get a whole new body, including new legs! i wonder if, should he do this with hodor, he would be able to fix hodor's mental incapacities.
in other words . . . maybe hodor will be king of the north after all!

No no you've got it wrong.
"The Lannisters send their regards" is a common Lannister phrase.
Bolton said it because he allied with Tywin.
Tywin has been writing letters all season (planning this massacre without us realising).
Remember when Roose Bolton told Jaime to make sure Tywin knew that Bolton had no part in Jaime's maiming? Because they're allies.

The eagle fucked Jon up. Damn it man, you can't even fight a bird.

No it isn't. A Lannister always pays his debts is the common phrase. Rich as a Lannister is a common phrase. It's never been stated that that is a common Lannister phrase.

You actually don't want to get into a fight with an eagle.

Good lord I've been so corrupted by usual story clichés.
It happened with Ned's execution (I thought he'd be spared and get to escape) and it happened last night. A tiny part of me thought Robb would grab a table knife or something and fight his (and his mother's) way out.
For a split second I forgot this was Game of Thrones. The reminder came crashing down hard- and quickly.
So brutal and unforgiving, but I respect the hell out of the writing for that. I just love thinking about all of the little events that could have prevented this.
As others have said, unfortunately Robb was just no match for his opponents in the greater scheme of things. I liked his character a lot; despite some mistakes here and there, it seemed like he had a good heart. He could have been an honorable king.
Where do we go from here?
I want to join TeamSnow now, but I just don't believe he's smart enough to survive this.
Arya? Well, she has a hell of a bodyguard now... but if the Lannisters find out she's alive I don't think 10 The Hounds could protect her. She needs to reconnect with Faceless Assassin dude.
I feel Sansa is in a better position now that she's with Tyrion, but Tyrion has been neutered emotionally & psychologically since his heroic stand against Stannis. His swagger seems to be gone. Joffrey could bring a lot of pain down on both of them just for fun.
Bran has this crazy power, but he's still immobile and is travelling with a couple other kids (and Hodor. Hodor). Are the two direwolves with him still alive?
I can't even imagine the fallout from last nights events. It changes the entire landscape, no?
I'm still heartbroken. The acting last night was master class and just sold the entire tragedy all around.

Really disappointed in the behavior of fellow readers. Larry Williams, who does some good YouTube reviews for the show, has decided he will no longer be reviewing it after the season ends. He's lost interest in the show, but the main reason is because assholes spoiled last night's events for him two years ago, and book readers constantly attack his videos. I just don't get why people have to be jerks or feel they need to interject their views into this place.
I have provided clarifications and answered general questions through PMs since S1 and will continue to do so.

Same here. I was expecting Cat and Robb to fight their way out in a feat of unheard badassness, but that is GoT for you...

I feel the need to say that the people who spoil and have a general air of smugness may just be a case of the vocal minority. None of my friends are dicks about spoilers or future events. The internet just brings the worst people out, and the worst in people out.
worked for Jorah, Grey Worm and whatshisname
I'm sure I've heard it on the show before.
Jaime said it to Roose the episode prior.

I won't be fooled again.
After this I honestly don't think any character death, in any manner, could/would surprise me. Arya could literally be eaten alive by Joffrey as he crushes Bran's arms with a hammer and my reaction now would be "Yeah... ok... fucking figures."
At this point I'm basically just expecting everyone to die and the ending being a couple dragons flying around, dropping dragon shit on the various Westeros ruins.

SUPER DAARIO BRO
YES! I was right.
I totally called it that Hodor would Hodor way back in the Season 1 thread.

"Hodor, stop Hodoring"
Oh man, really wasn't expecting that betrayal at the end. Felt so bad for Cat, she already thinks she lost Bran and Rickon, and then she's forced to witness her first son and his wife getting murdered before she herself dies ._.
It was partly Robb's fault for amassing so many big mistakes, though. He shouldn't have broke the vow. He shouldn't have killed Rickard Karstark. Something like this was just begging to happen to him. Sigh...
And goddamn, Rickon was so adorable when he was begging to stay with Bran. Fuck. I wish I had a little brother like him :/

I think you are reading it wrong. It's very subtle, but it implies that Hodor actually hodors, while hodor hodoring. Not hodors.
I cannot believe they did that.
Nice nod to the "meme" following on the internet.
There's been lots of "you know nothing Jon Snuuuuuuuuw" this season too, after the internet popularity of it.
Hodor.
Yep. Another Stark dies of stupidity. I called it! Sorta. Starks are too stupid to live. It's evolution at work! Bran is the only one with half a brain and he might die North of the wall.

Just finished ep 9 a few minutes ago.
umm... fuck. Just... fuck... I don't even know what to say right now.
I almost cried. I cannot believe I almost fucking cried. Last time that happened watching a TV show was during OZ a few years ago.
Man, when that music hit and the dude shut the door, I knew something was about to go down. Bu I had no idea... no fucking clue I was about to be shook to my core like that.
What an absolutely amazing show this is.
