apparently it was the episode I can't wait to see.

This is a nice gif - basically someone who has read the books in the middle versus 2 who haven;t

Ive downloaded but not had a chance to watch yet. Maybe lunchtime.

Great episode, but always was going to be as was a great part of the books.

 

[Kent Shrimper]

Bloody hell

 

[MK Shrimper]

Just amazing. best episode of anything ever!

Only cos you ain't watched the wire.

Check out the red wedding reaction video on YouTube. Sums it up.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I thought it was ****.

I have been to rougher weddings than that.

:zzzzz: Think we've done this to death. (See what I did there?)

**** the bed. That was just brilliant. Watched it quite late last night and actually took a while to get to sleep thereafter (I'm usually out like a light).

Another excellent Andy Greenwald blog here, including a 'yada' yada' reference that will appeal to fellow Seinfeld fans

I should have known better.

  Spoiler:  

if theres one thing I should have learnt from watching HBO shows by now, it's not to get too attached to any of the protagonists

I hear you. Was still buzzing at 11pm! I can't remember a time where a bloody TV programme has done that.

Must admit, I

  Spoiler:  

always felt things were not going to end well for Robb. But on the battlefield, not like that. Although his dreams of teaching young Eddard Stark to ride a horse were a big warning light for what unfolded a minute later!

Especially in George RR Martin's world. No one is safe, those you think are evil arent, those that are good arent.

Its why I like his books, although as said before it does feel later on that he is just making it up as he goes along with no clear arc.

 

[MK Shrimper]

As an aside, I commented to Mrs MK during the ceremony that I can see these vows & the cloaking ceremony occuring in real life weddings.

Then 10 minutes later - maybe not.

:winking: Not everyone mixes in the same circles as your good self.

 

[blues_r_best]

Maybe the reason he's being tortured by Mr. Mysterious?

That's Theon, not Balon

Interested to see what burning the leeches does to those named. What's Stannis' beef with Balon Greyjoy?

  Spoiler:  

One down (and how!), two to go. :thumbsup:

How is the last episode going to top that?

Personallly that was the highlight of the books up to date.

There are more twists and turns along the way but nothing quite as 'WTF!?!' as last night, although the end of the last book came quite close.
