they just killed the show, I am not watching it anymore im done, good job director you just cut your audience in a really brutal and insane way hope HBO buys your excuses, don't care what the book says happens this were characters that were developed through hardship and pain and you just cut their throats, that's it wow don't know your reasoning but later don't want to begin again with new character development so that you can cut their throats all at once in the same room thanks for lettim me vent and your show now officialy sucks.

I'm still traumatized! I haven't read any of the books so you can just imagine my shock. Your recap therapy was fabulous but I'm not sure if it was therapy at all. I'm still on the edge of my seat. Gaaah

The books were a massive bummer to read too. It's not really a fantasy series, it's tragedy/horror/drama set in a fantasy world. If you think the red wedding was shitty, don't even bother watching the rest of series, it doesn't end there.

That aside I'm losing interest quickly. More and more the TV series just takes all of the great character interactions and development and pisses on them in favor of one death scene after another. If they'd just had more money and taken the time to do it right, it could have held a candle to the books. As a fan of the Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Game of Thrones TV series feels to me like can of Campbell's Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup, it tastes like chicken and there are a couple of chicken-like parts in it but it's mostly noodles and whatever that stuff is they call broth. But it sure as hell isn't real chicken noodle soup.

I think the biggest problem with the show is that its only on once a year it should defiantly get more funding and have 2 seasons a year! But this was the greatest piece of tv iv ever seen my jaw is still hanging down near my ankles

This definitely takes the record for the most intense "holy f******* s***" moment I've ever had in any show or movie. I had a thing going for that entire rebellion and now they're all gone in a single 30 seconds. This is just.. wow. I feel like my dog just died or something I'm just in shock. Gonna be hard to watch the show now but I'm going to I guess.

I understand people's shock and sadness. I read the book years ago and was like "whoa" when I had read the part of the Red Wedding but what I don't understand is how people blame the director and just stop watching the show (which I don't believe they will). I mean what show do they think they've been watching? Rape, killing, torture and mayhem is pretty much the norm for this series. People I think often forget that this wasn't a series that was just created out of nowhere. It's a book series turned into a television series on HBO. Maybe if more people take the time to read they would have seen this one coming. Anyways, as for my reaction. I wasn't surprised however I was still saddened. If anything, I was upset at first with that they chose to have Robbs wife an attendance when in fact she wasn't in the books but I later came to understand why they chose to do it that way. Afterall, they do have to comprise an entire book series that's yet to be finished into a short span on television. I think so far they are doing a great job and no matter how they would have treated this episode there was no way around people's anguish. Which to me, means they got it right.

John, you do realize this story is based on a series of books…. the director just sold it amazingly brought it to life. You can stop watching, none of us really care what you do.

Keep calm and remember that things much worse are occurring right now in the real world — and probably closer to you than you'd ever imagine.

I haven't read the books, but after the massacre I was thinking 'Wow. Now a load of Volantians are going to be pissed', which retrospectively explains that awkward post-coital 'I'm writing a letter to mama' bit in the last episode. Otherwise the news of her pregnancy would have died with the rest of them. I am also thinking that in the next episode we'll see Sansa's reaction to this, and Jamie/Brienne's, which will be interesting. (My therapy is to admire the genius plotting and imagine where it's all headed. I had Talisa pegged as a red shirt from way back, so it does help).

Read the books, so no surprises for me… Still Sad though 🙁

That was shocking, I had no idea that massacre was going to happen.

Having said that, I really don't understand why so many people say that they're done with the show. Really? I've never seen anyone who thinks that Rob, Catelyn and Talisa are the reason why they watch the show. I liked those characters, but I assume that this massacre will only make things more interesting.

I read the books a few years ago and reread them in anticipation for the series, so I thought I was as ready as I was ever going to be for the Red Wedding. Turns out that AHAHA NOPE THERE IS NO BEING PREPARED FOR THIS and it left me as wrecked as reading the chapter. I can't even imagine what it was like to go into this episode without any advance warning, because seeing it play out is a whole other kind of pain. But on the other hand… you think seeing it was bad? Try reading it from Catelyn's perspective, and being privy to her thoughts as the whole event played out.

(One small thing! Mackenzie Crook's character is named Orell.)

One of the best errors ever: you totally referred to Mackenzie Crook's character as "Gareth."

It was shocking, but in all honesty this show is kind of boring and they were boring.

This is my last episode of games of thrones I'm not never ever gonna watch it again.

I think the review is way too negative about the Hound. I really like the Hound, and Arya may not like this, but they suit perfectly together, both have a good heart and both are rugged. This episode was shocking to me. How can someone murder a leader, while his full army is outside?
I do not think that that is very realistic. Further on the trouble I have is that Catalyn Stark died without knowing that Arya and Sansa, Bran are alive and well. So much I wanted Arya to be reunited at the wedding, that would have made it the perfect day. That was a major disappointment. I saw it yesterday, so im still recovering…..

dont forget the robb's still born. that'd take an extra juice in your brain to think how much cruelty is enough :P:P:P

By: CÃ©sar

Well…I must say that I'm a bit dissapointed with the decisions taken by the writers at the red wedding scene.I respect different artistic points of view from a book, but there are details changed at the slaughtering.ESPOILER AHEAD.At the red wedding Robb is deheaded and the Frey's assemble a wolf head to the body,if I remmember correctly,and Caitlyn kills in exchange a mentally handicaped son of Lord Frey.Not his wife.Finally Caitlyn loses her mind and her own hand scratch her own face and then she's murdered.ESPOILER ENDS.
This details make of the red wedding an even more cruel scene.Idon't know if they tought it could be too much,but I doubt it,watching a pregnant woman stabbed so crearly…I think they tried to…change Caitlyn character,because killing a mentally handicaped boy changes what we could think about her.It isn't my thinking,it could've shown Caitlyn's will in a dark way.

Meh. This series started out well but the writing is very amateurish, sophomoric and dudebro-ish whenever it diversifies from actual book canon. Also, the emotional attachments and development between some of the characters, essential to their story arcs, haven't been done properly at all. Case in point: Sansa and the Hound, Sandor Clegane…instead his lines were shunted off to of all people, Littlefinger.( And his knowledge of Sandor's burns? Never explained, just ridiculous.) Ugh. Ros? An invented character, not from the books…who might as well have never even been intriduced, for all the good it did the show(so irrelevant, we readers/viewers know that Petyr Baelish is a moustache-twirling piece of crap already…her death was just overkill, sensationalistic gore for the sake of gore.
I love the ACTUAL story, which leaves this trite series, all stupid invented nonsensical twists, T&A, gore and cheap thrills, no in-depth development like the books, alas!) in the dust. Not paying to watch anymore, the special effects/acting(though some of it is very good, Dinklage, Nicholai Coster-Waldau, Sophie Turner, Maisie, Fairley, Dance, yes Rory even though he isnt really being allowed to play the actual Sandor Clegane, etc)…those who can stomache the changes to a truly great series, be my guest. We all like whatever we like, fair enough…
