Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted June 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Spoilers for tonight's episode, you bells:  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler So great. But having just seen it, it's hard for me to step back from the book versions and just appreciate it on its own, as there were a lot of little RW touches that didn't make the adaptation. Cat's mind snapping and clawing at her own face, "Don't cut my hair, Ned loves my hair," (to my mind, the most emotionally devastating line in the books) and them not doing the Arya cut to black fakeout were all things I was waiting for that didn't happen. No Jinglebell either, but for some reason, the TV version really isn't going for the fools and jesters. They captured that sense of growing unease really well, with Rains of Castamere nicely established in-universe by this point. I'll need to watch it back again to soak it all in properly, as I was knotted with GoT nerd anxiety for the entire episode.  Having watched the scene again, I think Cat's howl of anguish, and just holding on her silence like that, is as bad, if not worse than the book, in terms of how distressing it is.  Search 'red wedding reaction' on Youtube for tons of gold.  Also the Twitter account @RedWeddingTears    [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Edited June 3, 2013 by Astro Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Boom! Those last few minutes were as gripping as any television I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted June 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 3, 2013 SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read Absolutely blew my mind - I genuinely didn't see that coming, although it was obvious that something fucked up was going to happen. For some reason, I'd gotten it into my head that the red wedding was going to be Joffrey's nuptials, so this caught me totally off guard. One thing I had faith in is that Martin will kill off basically any character, so I was able to feel a bit smug as I was told "well, Robb and Catelyn won't die," and then, "well, Catelyn won't die".

Paid Members Nexus Posted June 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 3, 2013 Brutal. Far more brutal than I was expecting.  I liked the changes they made from the book, and I thought it was excellent.  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler Robb is still a pussy though  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Well, my instincts were right about a certain character having a bigger role to play (is that vague enough?). Â To use a wrestling analogy, this series is fucking great at building some seriously strong heels. I really need to see some payoffs soon though, it's all getting a bit 'Triple H in 2000' at the minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted June 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 3, 2013 Fuuuuuck. Why are we spoiler tagging though?  I'm just doing it out of courtesy - I know this is US pace, but still, isn't it actually on Mondays in the UK? That's when I think my parents had it recording, although they have no clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Even at the end though, Robb stood around like a gormless twat and didn't seem to click on to what was about to go down. I love The Blackfish, Im glad he seems to have got away. Â Fucking... Arya!!! Maisie Williams is a fab little actress, she is doing such a brilliant job. Edited June 3, 2013 by deathrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Annoyed me how fucking slow and useless she was at letting Grey Wind out of the kennel, mind. Like a doomed blonde running up the stairs in a horror film.

Paid Members Nexus Posted June 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 3, 2013 There were fuckloads of Frey men around, running about with crossbows and bloody swords, and she would be known to at least some of them I imagine. Of course she'd be slow. Also she was trying to hide from the Hound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
