That's true, you can't even blame GRRM's well documented sadism for that one. Unless he wrote this episode. Then he's really just an asshole.

The show skipped the part of Frey not wanting to give bread and salt to Robb and crew. In the show it just looked like he readily did. How is the show going to later show that there is a curse associated with breaking hospitality rules?

Man I hope someone was enough a dick to record their non-book friends while watching this shit. It's such a shame the otakuassemBOL guy got spoiled. Speaking of him, he posted his review of the episode:

There's been multiple cases of women cutting the fetus out of other women in order to claim the baby as their own. Sadly, this type of grizzly thing happens

It was definitely an "OHMIGOD" moment, even though I knew the RW was coming. I expected her to be a hostage and to be given moon tea or something, but not for her to be shanked.

Not really spoilers now that we're passed it in the show, but I'm not taking any chances with how touchy some people are:

I thought in the book that he gave it to them readily and was just more than prepared to break the hospitality laws? Could be wrong.

I was a little disappointed they skipped over Greywind growling at Black Walder at the gates, that was some solid short-term foreshadowing. Then again, they don't really have Black Walder in the show and they're working within time limits, so it's understandable.

I thought he only writes like an episode a season, and Robb's wife being preggo wasn't more than hinted at in the book. Was this really the one episode?

Troll crown. Someone fetch that man the troll crown. The entire series is predicated on getting you emotionally invested with characters and seeing these perfect paths carved out for them and then cutting those paths to bloody little smithereens.

If Roose's face is replaced by Kaz's, and Cat's face is replaced by Reggie's or...whoever Microsoft has now.... Mr.Nice Hair from the E3 press conferences, then it wouldn't really be a spoiler anymore.

I was just worried about someone from the other thread seeing it and putting two and two together, or someone that hasn't seen the episode yet. Can't spoiler tag images, so there was no way around that.

Fuck that was brutal to see. Grey Wind closing his eyes stung as much as anything else.


Also not surprised some book readers fucked up the non book thread.

Is that Jaime being shown returning to his family?that is odd considering he should not return til after the other wedding. Coldhands could be introduced later similar how they changed the Reeds but got feeling they might skip him
Click to expand...

Yeah I was wondering that about [ASoS]
Jaime too. Not sure if it was just the way it was edited or not. But having him get all the way back to King's Landing way before Joffrey's wedding would be odd. Figured they might milk Jaime and Brienne travelling on the road for a bit longer, since Jaime doesn't get back to King's Landing until after Joffrey is dead, I recall.

I thought that
Kat insisted on it and he just obliged her. I don't recall there being any sort of hesitance or begrudging acceptance.

I thought I remember Cat having to practically demand them to give them bread and salt. I'd have to go back and re-read to be sure though. Forgot about the Greywind bit too. There was a lot of foreshadowing that something was going to happen in the book.

I will say I was shocked to see that guy just run up and stab her in the gut. I didn't expect that at all and I have read the books. That was hardcore even by HBO standards.

I've already forgotten; what has the show painted Meera and Jojen out to be, in terms of their origin and lineage?

I find them so superfluous, nearly as much as they seemed to be in the book.

Ok, i had my doubts if they could pull of the brutality of the red wedding, but they succeeded.
I wonder how
people will react at the death of Joffrey.

I remember before they got there her drilling it into Robb to ask for it immediately because she suspected there might be something up without guestright and then thinking everything was fine once they got it, but I can't really remember the tone of the Freys as it happened. You could be right, been a while since I read the book.

They're still Reeds, loyal to the Starks.

The show has made no mention of their Father (Unless they briefly tossed out his name when they were first introduced, I can't remember). There's only one other reason he's mentioned in the books, and that's something the show runners seem to not want to imply or foreshadow.

The twitter comments are hilarious. Not sure why the first reaction always seems to be "I'm done with this show." If it's affecting you so much then it's doing its job.

The final shot was almost funny. Guy just pops in from off-screen after a few beats of silence.

Guess I'm not a big fan of the show/adaptation seeing how I'm mainly happy we won't have to deal with more shitty scenes with these characters.

Sigh. Well, I did what I could by asking. But I knew some people weren't going to be able to help themselves in the No Book Spoilers thread. Hell, you could have said whatever you wanted to say in here.

Couldn't just read and enjoy the schadenfreude, you had to go and muddy the water, twist the knife, call attention to yourself, or whatever else. Sad.
