A GAME OF THRONES - Discussion Thread

Oh and I did not see but did they say what happened to the Robb's Uncle who got married... They took him off to the bedding... If he had to go that way then

But wondering if he was in on it? The thought he was stupid and wondering if that got him angry...

I got a decent amount of reading in this weekend but wasn't able to catch up to this mess. When I first saw someone mention the Red Wedding, I assumed it would have something to do with Melisandre. Boy was I wrong.

My mouth didn't shut for 20 minutes and I couldn't sleep for hours afterward. Blown away is the best that can describe it. I didn't see this coming at all. I guess the main question is, were Edmure and The Blackfish involved. Blackfish went to take a piss and that was the last we saw. I kept expecting Catelyn to pound on the door and say "I hope you had a hell of a piss Blackfish".

I wonder why they didn't show Jon pick up on the fact that there were 2 direwolves present at his fight.
Leaving Ygrite behind??????

I felt it was pretty stupid to have that look on Jorah's face when Dany asked him about Dario since he was still alive.

Arya just needs to kill EVERYONE!!! and start a new civilization with Hot Pie.

I agree. It has been a while since i read it but i thought there was some internal dialogue on both subjects. Leaving Ygritte is not an easy thing for Jon i wish they could have portrayed that a bit more on screen.

Arya killing everyone would be awesome

What is the significance of the episode title "The Rains of Castamere"?

That's the song that the band started playing when the doors were being locked and Catelyn got worried. It's a song dedicated to House Lannister. It's also the song Cersei was telling Margery about in the previous episode. Bronn sung it before battle last season.

Thanks. I want to click on the other thread soooooo bad right now.

I thought cersie telling marg in episode 8 the story behind the song of rains of catamere was birllant.

It sets up the curve ball you may think ep 9 was going to be the lannisters squashing tyrells when in fact it is the lannisters squashing the starks.

Another thing I liked in this episode, that sort of gets lost with the wedding, is we see the fist signs of how powerful Bran may come to be. Always nice to get some direwolf action.

Hodor.

Now I'll need to watch that scene again.

HOLY FUCK... that was possibly the most emotional scene I've ever seen on a television show. I am not a book reader, though when this season is over I plan on starting.

Ok, so to go through a bit here. I predicted that Robb would be killed and this wedding would not go as smooth as planned and be some part of a scheme. I love Robb and thought he honestly was the fairest and best person to be king, although, we all know that gets you nowhere in thrones, as it is what killed him. I DID NOT see them killing Catelyn. That fucked me up. Stabbing Talisa in the stomach? God damn! This shit was beyond tragic. I NEVER TRUSTED THAT FUCK ROOSE BOLTON. MY theories on him must be correct too. Being one of Robb's banner men in the war, for him to send Jamie Lannister to Tywin and whatnot, I knew he was not to be trusted and had some sort of alliance forming with Tywin, whether for money or glory. I caught some glimpses of the 'X' symbol on some of Theon's torturers the first time we saw him getting tortured. We know Theon is in the north. It ain't the Karstark's, as the torturer said. Not the Umbers. Obviously not in Winterfell or Pyke. Where is he? My guess? The dreadfort and the torturer is a Bolton. Fucking Roose wants the North and planned this shit with Tywin and Walder Frey..


THIS IS PURELY MY SPECULATION. WHETHER I AM WRONG OR RIGHT I HAVE NO IDEA. But putting the pieces together that is what I think...

Arrya really does just need to fucking kill everyone. Curious to see her story unfold with the Hound... I honestly have no idea where that is going but I'm very intrigued.

I thought the John Snow scene was fucking awesome I'm glad it's clear to everyone he's a crow again. Fuck Ygritte, honestly. I could care less about her. I hope John stays loyal all the way to the Night's Watch. And the fact that he saw his brothers' wolves... Hopefully he knows they're around now and can get Bran (because Rickon left) safe. This plot should get a lot better now. Too much time was spent beyond the wall with Snow dicking around.

I love ANYTHING with Dany. I thought this weeks was awesome, but for the first time not really because of her at all. Who knew my boy Jorah was a fucking jedi knight? He looked like god damn Skywalker out there with that sword. Daario and Grey Worm were cool too... I just want to get her to Westeros.


Other plots not shown that I have future hopes for:

With Littlefinger lord of the Vale now, I want revenge for Cat's death. He is a snakey fuck and certainly has some bad tricks up his sleeve, but he may actually do this as she is the only person he ever cared about basically.

I would love to see the Tyrell's be in an uproar over this whole Red Wedding and how it was completely unethical because of the rights of eating with your guests thing etc etc... I want to see the Tyrell / Lannister inside struggle keep growing but something happen soon.

Stannis, Millessandre, Davos, and Gendry.... exrtremely interesting.... I want to understand more Red God stuff. I don't know what to make of its truth, importance, goodness, or badness yet.

I also hope we see the Brotherhood without Banners again. Thoros was the shit.

Oh and obviously we all want Joffrey to croke.

What a gut wrenching episode. Like alot of other stuff, the Red Wedding was pretty predictable when you think back on what happened before, but man what a shocker. I knew there was trouble as soon as we seen Bolton. Didn't immediately recognize the music, but the wedding setup seemed shifty, with the way Frey was acting. Went from some of the most lighthearted lowbrow one liners early in the show to probably the most stirring scene I've ever watched on tv. And that's mentioning just the stuff from this episode.

I have to think Cat's family was in on it, or at least her brother.

Poor Arya, she was so close. Especially emotional after the exchange between her and the Hound early in the episode about getting closer/more scared. She's basically the only one left to avenge, as it seems the others are tied up in other arcs.

Bran warging out was freaking awesome. Awful to see him and Rickon get separated.

Pretty heavy way to deal with all the near Stark reunions.

Can't wait to see the fallout next week. If it's as shocking as last night I don't think I'll be sleeping again next sunday. My mind was just racing after that end scene last night.
