If I was that actor who played Walder Frey I'd be staying indoors for a couple of weeks.


Leana Heady was getting yelled at on the streets for her role, I hadn't thought of the effects it might have on Walder's actor. Jesus christ.

I know that the kid who plays Joffrey wants to give up acting as well because of the way fans of the series treat him. That is a crime...Joffrey makes my skin crawl, and his portrayal is brilliant.

Judging by peoples response, next weeks numbers are going to take a pretty drastic hit. I wonder if it will actually be that noticeable though. Frankly, the response tells me something: it worked. This show has connected with people on a level that most shows can only dream of.

Would've a been better joke if someone had shopped a wolf head on Robb.

That's a matter of taste. They're both very good looking women, though.

And Frey... could've fooled me if I didn't read yo' **** a year prior to the episode.

The fools, G.R.R Martin feeds of our wails. He's the behemoth in the whole "writers that make you cry" department.

Because that is exactly what Song of Ice and Fire is: A rather complex, nuanced political story along with of course the war aspect and the fantasy one but it's core is political.

The fact he brought Tallisa showcases just how much a suplified pile of dung the show is.


Robb made large mistakes in the past. It's not entirely out of character for him to bring Jeyene to the wedding. As for a "suplified pile of dung," that's subjective, and I'd rather not argue about the difficulties of translating literature to film across mediums.

But I will argue that so far, GOT and ASOIAF have acted a lot like alternate realities. Think BioShock infinite. Characters that did not die when they were supposed to, died later on, and characters that were added, also died later on. Her death in the RW might be foreshadowing another potential Stark being stabbed in his sleep.

As I've said, there are just way to many characters for the space of ten hours, especially in regards to Feast for Crows, where it's pretty much an 1000 page 'Foundation' novel. Perhaps that's why subtlety is severely lacking, some characters do not get the time they need, hopefully, in LF's case, they leave his moustache twirling self for private encounters with Varys, but in public, is the same old "you can trust me without a doubt, but keep one eye open" Littlefinger.



I was NOT impressed at all by the show's version of the Red Wedding. Where was all the chaotic fighting present in the book? Where was the tension as things went to hell and that? Where was the tightly packed hall?


Tension? I felt it the moment they brought Edmure out for the bedding. The fighting? They were all pretty much targeted, but yes, fighting should have been present, but it's hardly enough to make me disappointed. However, I do feel that the entire scene was focused on the utter abruptness of it all. And finally... that Hall was pretty small, unless your personal image of the setting was different.

It really was a very dull version of the Red Wedding which did not do it justice at all. Whereas in the book I could feel Catelyn's fear, anexiety, horror, terror and desperation and that meant I cared a bit for what happened despite my dislike of her and Robb as characters in the show I didn't give a damn at all.


That's a certain advantage, isn't it? We didn't get to hear Tyrion's personal "**** gold" joke and we don't get the magnitude in which he hates his father, nor do we get his symbolic dreams. Cat's feelings are impossible to convey unless you want some out-of-place Shakespearean soliloquy.

It was so silly of Robb to take her with him.


Another way they've ruined Robb's character in the show. He actually leaves the equivalent of Talisa behind in Riverrun...


And leave yet another sub-plot opened to further complicate the plot? I don't people understand just how many characters there are, even the book-readers of this forum. Think of Feast for Crows and the first part of ADwD, there's a lot of politics going on and the last thing they need is yet ANOTHER character in the sea of names that is A Song of Ice and Fire.

Martin will probably kill her later on anyway, perhaps that's why she's there in the first place.


I don't doubt there were reasons. They probably also did it to make RW more brutal (in which they succeeded, I think). But it shouldn't come at the expense of character.

But then it isn't surprising. They've done pretty much everything they can to make Robb despicable on the show...whereas he was one of the most tragic people in the books (especially after adding the fact he's a 14-year old kid...)



I wouldn't say that. Or else he wouldn't have such a huge fanbase.

So they killed Robb´s wife? I was half-expecting she was working for Tywin to break the Frey alliance, thus adapting Robb´s mother in law in the books.

People are going to love 4x10.

Now that would have been a plot twist! :happy:

The moment the doors closed and the Rains of Castamere started to play you could tell from the look on Cat's face that something was wrong.

Oh Edmure, you have no idea.
Also is it just me, or does anyone else also think that Edmure got a great deal out of this wedding? :D

P.S I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but I'm sure as hell that the Rains of Castamere was being played in a less-obvious way through-out the entire scene.

Found the whole RW a bit underwhelming to be honest.

I was also sad at the lack of Greatjon Umber biting an ear off... :D

Edit: Removed a rather big spoiler

Pretty crazy seeing people's reactions to last night's episode. Either it speaks volumes about the strength of the material or the fragile mindsets of some of the viewers.

I really like the Starks and hated seeing them die like that.

...and loved it at the same time.



Something is wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with you. You're just another advocate of great plot devices. :D

Was looking forward to reactions more than the scene itself. Finally Twitter is useful.
