So I didn't care for the added forced feels with Talisa and the baby. The scene was plenty powerful enough without adding that extra hook in there.

I was TRYING not to grin and smile, but I felt like Walder Frey. Heh.
Edit: LOL at pic above.

Reaction from one of my friends
I think they need to. Three seasons of shitting on the "good guys" is clearly not going over well with non-book readers. I think the writers are aware of this. There needs to be some sort of optimism to close season 3 imo.
I think that would make the show lose more viewers than the Red Wedding to be honest. Ii really can't end like that after what just happened. It's too soon, and it's too weird.
I think it'd be a much bigger shock for that to be the end of next season.Nah, that got me. Her being stabbed got me right in the gut.

I totally agree. No, I don't think it's ideal. But in my opinion it's much preferable to the idea of waiting almost a full year for any kind of significant optimism.

There was zero reason for them to do the Arya fakeout and I'm glad they didn't do it. Showing the Hound running down Arya and implying that he would just kill her like that for zero reason would have been so dumb.

That's brilliant.
Oh god, I can't wait to read the Facebook recap. :lol
Not only that but it seems counter productive to bring back SERIES
Richard Dormer for one scene resurrecting Cat. It would make sense having it end out this season. Also.. Remember, the name for this episode is Mhysa.. Yes that is a direct reference to Dany and Yunkai.. But since Mhysa also means mother.. Who is arguably the most known mother on this show? Catelyn.

so did winter come yet
Deserved. That shit character stole screen time from more deserving people throughout the entire show.
The mayhaps thing? There was no need for that since there is no Big or Little Walder on the show.

Okay, watched it now. Hoo boy that that a massacre, just as it should be.
I know it was supposed to be sad and fucked up and such, and it is. ...But I still got the same little thrill for a brief moment when Cat bought the farm as I did in the book because man, I fucking hated her.
Robb dying sucked, but he kinda made his bed on that one. Dumbass should have married the hot Frey girl.

I thought her reaction to it was fucking brutal though
series
If the show ever gets to that point I expect laughing and ridiculing from people instead of tears. :lol Personally, my reaction was a pair of rolled eyes. Didn't feel a single fucking thing.

So..why is this series called the Song of Fire and Ice?
No one really knows yet but probably because [series/speculation]
It's gonna be about R'hllor vs The Great Other... Also dragonfire vs the cold undead
Right?
That was crazy to watch. I knew what was about to happen but the anticipation was killing me. Starting off the slaughter by stabbing her was just crazy. That was a great episode.
Man the non book people are loosing their fucking minds right now. I remember being upset, but I didn't want to rip my book apart or anything. Damn people crying and shit. Rob was doomed long before he went to that wedding. I do feel kinda bad for them since they will have to wait a year for the story to advance further.
Haha.

Was great seeing an episode where Theon isn't tortured again.
He's got like 6 years til the next book, you never know!
lmao
You mean Robb.
I know, I feel like I'm one of the few who didn't lose their shit after reading the Red Wedding. I felt bad (more about Cat, since it was from her POV), but not "fuck this shit I gotta go take a breather" bad. lol
Whats left to take from Theon?
When I read the books, it was actually the bran/rickon fake out that got me the most. I wanted to throw the book into a fire when that happened.
The Red Wedding is interesting in the book because you know something fucked up is going to happen, but the book continually tries to reassure you that there's no way anything bad is going to happen...lolz. There's a constant sense of dread and tension that I personally didn't really feel much here, mostly I guess due to how the show is structured, constantly intercutting stuff from other places.

the arya fakeout was absolutely necessary imo considering they alternate chapters between catelyn and arya for like 6-7 chapters straight iirc in asos. i remember it adding so much the emotion of reading it, so hopeful for a the long awaited reunion only to me devastated. GRRM masterfully played hard on your heartstrings in the part of the book.
