It wasn't that different. Cat did pretty much the same thing except not with Walder Frey's wife. She said something like a son for a grandson. And I think she was stabbed in the throat instead of slit. But the show did this scene right.
Hell yeah. When the people you don't root for don't pull punches on the people you do. I like that. And the fact that everyone can be either turn out to be good or evil but still respect the characters anyway.
Arya is awesome and cute. Now Robb, he was awesome as a leader, I really liked him and his wolf.
I'm pretty sure the only character that he will not kill is Tyrion cause that's like everybody's favorite including G.R.R Martin lol
You don't find that in many series, willingness to kill off 'main' characters. I guess because there are so many characters who can be portrayed as 'main' characters.
I have conflicting feelings. First, I thought that was one of the most epic endings to an episode of any show. Ever. Even better than when Ned died. Second, I loved Robb, he was my favorite. So with him dead, I kind of feel lost in the show right now. I don't know which side I'm rooting for anymore. Guess I'll root for Tyrion and Jaime.
He was good in war, but not king material. He admitted it himself when he said that he has won all the battles but he is losing the war. There's a difference between a general and a ruler; see Tywin for example.
Tyrion will surprise you and he is my favorite character as well
Me neither. I disliked her since the first chapter and when I read the rest I was like 'kill that [you know what] already Martin'.
I never really liked her that much either, except for when she protected Bran. She always seemed like such a sour *****. But the way she died, trying to protect her son was very sad to watch nonetheless.
Robb has been through the most pain in the whole series. Losing his dad, losing his wife and baby in his arms, Winterfell burnt down, Bran and Rickon are missing who he thinks are dead and his 2 sisters he believed to be captives at Kings Landing.
Then she shouldn't have freed Jaime. And this is one of the things I love about GoT; every thing that happens, every word said, much like a domino, has an effect. Maybe not directly, but it does. Had Cat not freed Jaime, her son would be alive. Had Robb kept his promise, he might have become King. Had Ned not become Robert's Hand, he might still be the Lord of Winterfell...and so on.
RIP Grey Wind, that saddened me as well.
Yeah, words in particular are really powerful in GoT. That's one of my favorite aspects about it, the dialogue.
Yes
It's well written alright, but he needs to start writing faster It's been 2 years since ADOD and there's no book in the horizon xD
He'll probably write about half of it, then die :|Yes
To return on topic, the next episode is gonna be even more surprising than this one.
Yeah. Nail on the head. Won't be mad if I'm wrong though. Hoping for TWoW to be out 2015 or sooner.
