I'm glad that I'm only reading the books after I see the episodes. I love to be surprised. I really wanted Arya to let the wolf out so he could tear people up!0

i stayed out of this thread yesterday as I hadn't yet seen it
Now that I have seen it, I have to say, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait till next episode!0 -
For such an intense episode just before the season finale, HBO has a lot of questions to answer this Sunday.
this. Can't wait!!! I am hoping Joffrey finally gets married, and then dies. Haven't read the books so that isn't a spoiler, just wishful thinking.0 -
If you love being surprised... READ THE BOOKS FIRST! The Red Wedding was a bigger surprise in the books than on the show. This happened about 1/2 way through the book not during the 9th episode of the season which has historically been the big episode where everyone knows something big is going to happen.I'm glad that I'm only reading the books after I see the episodes. I love to be surprised. I really wanted Arya to let the wolf out so he could tear people up!
Watching the show is great, don't get me wrong, but there are too many clues to reveal surprises, such as previews for next episodes and such. The books can keep secrets hidden, such as Ser Barristan who followed Daenerys around in disquise as man known as Arstan Whitebeard and revealed a book later as Ser Barristan the Bold to her. They were not able to do this on the show due to viewers knowing the actor.
I'm not even going to get started talking about something that rhymes with "Creek", "Seek", or "Heke" (Book readers will understand the reference) storyline that the show wasn't able to capture.
If you want to be more surprised than watching the episodes... READ THE BOOKS!
Sorry for the rant...

I'm really pleased how well the series is following the books. I have read all of them and can't wait for the last 2 in the series.
I told my daughter at one point, don't look, you're not going to like it

wow. why would you even post this spoiler.0 -
It is bound to happen no? I never read it either and I see it coming!0
-
I've read the books, so I know what happens... and seeing the "Red Wedding" still made me cry!0
-
Even knowing it was coming didn't help much.
Not in the least. I thought I was prepared for it, but I most certainly was not.
I've never read the books, but I Googled the characters six weeks ago and learned their fate, although not when and where. I still was shocked. The only good thing was that the last death looked a little fake. I couldn't take any more at that point.0 -
The author of the books is notorious for killing off "well liked" characters, as a previous poster stated, "Welcome to world of George RR Martin!" No "fairy tale" endings in his stories! You NEVER know what's going to happen next!0
-
I just finished season 2 last night, now I have to wait until season 3 comes out on blu-ray. I'm picking up the books for sure!0

“If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."0
-
Even if you know what's going to happen, it's still a major tear fest. :sad:0

I posted this in another GoT thread, but it's so true...

Anyone else love the fact that they didn't play music during the credits. It was like HBO was saying, 'Yeah, you just got motherf&@#ed. Marinate in it for a while.'
The absence of music = TV's jaw was still dropped like the non-book-readers.

After reading the books years ago I watch this episode in anticipation and watched all of you non-book readers thinking to myself, "You know nothing, Jon Snow". But, I do feel for you. When I read the 'Red Wedding' in the book I dropped the book right there and just sat there dumb founded staring at those around me and they had no idea what I'd just went through. I had to pick the book up and re-read it. Now, you all know the big secret for season 3 that all of us book readers have had to keep for years. Welcome to the the club of being punched in the gut by George RR Martin. BUT, never forget that you still KNOW NOTHING.
I've been both anticipating and dreading this moment all season. I was a latecomer to the books - I didn't pick the first one up until after I had watched the first season of Game of Thrones, but still, I'm overly attached to the characters and it really was a punch in the gut.
same here, and i dvr'd the ep, but cant bear to watch it. Question: Did they sow GRey's head on Robb on the TV show too?0 -
^^^ !!!SPOILERS!!!! Not yet, the screen "went to black" as right after Cat's throat was slit. I have a feeling we'll see what is done with the victims next episode.After reading the books years ago I watch this episode in anticipation and watched all of you non-book readers thinking to myself, "You know nothing, Jon Snow".

Lol. True story. I felt like I got violated.0 -
!!!! A LITTLE SPOILERY !!!!
Did anyone else notice the "Easter Egg" sitting behind Robb during the wedding?
This guy with the twirly mustache and merman sigil is Wendel Manderly... kind of makes you hungry for pie... THE NORTH REMEMBERS!!!
!!!! END SPOILERY !!!!0 -
When the music changed and the doors were shut, I knew something was going to happen, but not what exactly. The slaughter was a a shocker. I want to see Joffrey strung up, tortured and made to squeal like the coward he is before he's killed. I'm not sure what I want to see for Tywin Lannister. He's cold and calculating, but I don't think he's evil. I want to see Danaerys kick everyone's *kitten* and take the throne. I've been cheering for her from early on, but I didn't think she'd get as far as she has. She's slowly but surely, and seemingly unbeknownst to the other players in the game, gathering strength. At last reckoning, she seems to have the largest army and is not done yet. She is patient and a good strategist. If Daario proves to be loyal, she's got two good strategists in Daario and Ser Jorah, and a strong leader in Grey Worm. I wonder if it says anything that she is allied with no one, and is not relying on any alliances.0

exactly i'm not a book reader but i know it will happen, what i cant wait to see is HOW. i just hope it's something 5,011 times worse than red wedding0 -
Well, not that this helps any, but here is a Youtube video,
Peter Hollens sings' The Rains of Castamere' and I think its haunting.
Oh and its in acapella so that's all his own voice, six different tracks overlaid. I liked the lighting on this a lot.
An interesting choice to not make the vocals deeper, like it was in the show. I know he can go a lot deeper
in tone, Peter Hollens did the Dwarf song 'Misty Mountains' from The Hobbit movie. Well this version works too.
Enjoy! And share it around if you want, its got no spoilers in it.

Boop. I can't figure out how to post the picture right, but the part with Grey Wind's head on Robb's body will be horrible to see
