It's been up almost since the episode ended.
Just do the Tyrion hammer to the face POV like what we saw in S1 and let that be the fade to black at the end. Done and done with a sort of inshow reference thrown in there at the same time.
I really wish Rains of Castamere would have been playing throughout the massacre. But, one thing I did think was slightly more effective in the show then in the books: I really felt more moved by Arya being so close, yet so far. It really hit in the gut when you see her staring there at the promised land but once again not being allowed to enter.

Damn, someone should start a "It Gets Better" campaign for those suffering in the aftermath of the Red Wedding.

Clearly done to fake out the book readers and make the scene tense for them as well.
Yeah, it takes this event, this low point, to make you want Stannis or the Targaryen girl to "win"
I almost want to add in the other topic (General spoilers, should be apparent up to this point in the show)
But hey, that might be too much.

"hey, just think, while all the South is fucking around and killing each other, they don't even realize there's a growing Zombie Army that is coming to kill everything"
But hey, that might be too much.
I love their work.
Easy, You go to black before the axe hits her, and have a sound effect that sounds ambiguous

I wonder if they will show
Tywin's death while on the shitter or if they'll change that.
It would need to end the episode, though.. And that obviously wasn't going to happen.
Nah I would say no chance , they didn't even kill the bear incase animal rights got onto them..then again could shock me and do it a start as the intro next episode
ASOS
I was more upset to find out that they sewed Grey Wind's head to Robb's body. And that was just a throwaway line in a book.

So I guess this is one of the first things the show has spoiled the books on instead of the other way around.
Series:
That was never ever ever actually shown. Ever. Just talked about in rumors. Why would they even bother?
Series:
If Robbs son is dead, whatever Jeyne Westerling has or doesn't have in the book is clearly irrelevant now. If she came back in Winds of Winter or Dream of Spring with a Stark son it would ruin the show. Looks like Jon his Robbs heir.
Then again, they never had the argument between Robb and Cat when Robb said he's making Jon his official heir.

In the book, unless I'm misremembering, the Hound is chasing Arya on horseback while she's on foot. It'd be fairly simple to do a shot close to the Hound's shoulder. You see him coming towards Arya from his perspsective. You see him raise his axe(I think it was axe), swing it and right before it hits Arya you cut to black. Like I said though, I'm not surprised at all. Visually this show couldn't be more pedestrian. Nearly every other show I watch is more interesting when it comes to cinematography and overall visuals.

I just had my friend basically say, "Fuck you, fuck Game of Thrones, I fucking hate all of you" and walk out of my apartment.
The other 6 non-readers were just sitting in stunned silence.

The outrage on social media etc is pretty funny tbh. Imo, I really liked the RW, but I never really felt bad for losing Robb or Cat. Compared to my nigga ned, their deaths don't feel as bad.
Makes me wonder what would happen if Daenerys ends up dead at one point... would tumblr explode?

I got texts from like 3 of my co-workers since the show ended just saying shit like "Fuck you, Chris" and "Really, Chris? Fucking really?"

Was it Roose who killed Cat too?
Justify this statement. I expect screenshots and video examples to back up your claim.
We had one outraged "What the fuck!?!" and one *staring at TV in stoic stunned silence* from our two non-readers. I found my other reader friend's cackling to be in poor taste.
Also, the Freys have the ugliest hats.

Amazing. Lol.

Same here. Robb made a bunch of stupid ass decisions but pushing his wolf away and ignoring the warnings was one of the worst
Wish we could have seen
Grey Wind fuck some people up before he went down though. But at the same time i'm glad they didn't actually show his death because that would have been brutal on me

Think of it this way: when you read the Red Wedding, you probably had a lot of the same reactions as the people in the show thread are having now. It took me awhile to have any kind of reaction besides ".............damn" after I read through what happened to Cat and Rob. If you had anyone at all to talk to about it, they were probably going through the same stunned silence that you were. I personally would have been mad as hell at someone fucking pointing at me and laughing "hahaha you feel bad!"

Oh come the fuck on.
I think it was the same one who got Talisa.
Yeah, same guy who closed the doors.
Pfft, I don't have to do squat. GRRM isn't your bitch, and neither am I. You'll have to deal with me having the opinion I got. Personally, this show does nothing for me when it comes to camera and visuals. It's as dull and bland as D&D's interpretations of a large swathe of characters from the books.
Yeah, that's moronic. Expect more weirdness.

Was anyone else a little disappointed that the band didn't suck?
Yep, someone even said how great the band was playing.. for shame
But this is season 3 and none of the "villains" are dead. Non book readers at moment who are raging view Starks as heroes and Lannister as villains so 3 seasons where heroes lose may affect rankings this time.
Season1 was fine due to fact Robb was starting his war to get revenge
Maybe it might have been too big of a giveaway that something was up, I didn't register what meaning it had while reading it the first time.

ASOS/Series?
Though I've never particularly cared for that element of the story either, it's not as if it has no precedent. Considering Berric Dondarrion shows up earlier in book 3/season 3 after having been revived by Thoros of Myr.
The power of "limited budget", most likely.
After reading the EW interview, they specifically mention ASOS spoiler:
How Ep9 in S1 ends with darkness, and Ep10 ends with optimism. Cat's resurrection is totally ending this season (imo), and I hope they go all the way and include Nymeria as well.
Don't state opinions if you're not prepared to back them up, friendo. It's calls discourse, and it's the whole point of a message board. Of course, your refusal to back it up just makes me think you're full of shit. Oh well!
Also, again, B&B?
It surprised me, yes. It shocked me, yes. But I didn't go "Welp, I'm quitting this shit". As I said, there are far more interesting characters I'd miss than Cat or Robb. They're pretty... bland. Of course it's worse in the tv show as you have real persons playing the roles, but I won't miss Robb or Cat I think. Robb was a charismatic dude, but people will forget about him quicker than they think. Just like everyone forgot about my nigga Ned.
And Cat...
will only get worse as Uncat
People get mad at GRRM for killing a lot of characters and they're right... He does kill off a lot of characters. But if you look at the persons who died, it's actually the least interesting characters who die. I've always liked Ned, but he made a lot of dumb choices. Just like Robb and Cat. The most interesting characters are still alive.
That's when I stopped giving a fuck about the series.
