I was pissed that Greywind was killed so easily. Also the whole ending scene just seemed so...Funny? I mean it was amazing in the book (in a terrible way)...What's with Cat standing there for an additional 10 seconds before someone randomly comes up and slits her throat for starters? :/
What's sad is Martin isn't going to finish the books and the last season is going to become cannon for the ending of the story.
Well at least we know he does assist in writing some of the scrips and is pretty close with the producers. We can only hope that they do make the TV series what the books will be when they come to that point.
I kinda expected this to happen but I wasn't prepared at all. Cat will be missed.. one of the best characters imo. Robb's "Mother.." right before he died brought on the feels.
The 10 second thing before Cat was killed was probably for dramatic effect. My mom said "I didn't see that coming!" so it obv worked for her. xD But it was obvious to me what was going to happen.
Oh something that viewers of the show may have not understood: you see when they arrive at the Twins they all eat bread and salt, that's a Westeros tradition called law of hospitality, which means once you share bread and salt with the host no harm can be made to you. So that was supposed to show the amount of dickery of the Freys for making them believe they were safe and then infringing a sacred law.
Also, we didn't get to see Greywind freaking out as they came to the twins. Greywind actually attacked one of the Frey guys, it was all suspicious stuff leading up to that moment, but still...And in the books Greywind took down like 10 people before they were able to kill him, and it took more than a few crossbows.
I know. I know it's doubtful I suppose...But how are they going to end the season climatically? lol I was sort of hoping they'd try to squeeze it in there.
the battle of Castle Black, Jaime getting back to King's Landing, Sam meeting Coldhands, Stanis having the vision of the whitewalkers...and Lady Stoneheart!!
It will also be about Arya splitting up from the Hound, the Greyjoys doing something (based on the preview for next week)..and I don't know if Jaime will make it back, he isn't at Joffrey's wedding.

This is the reason I'm eagerly expecting to whatever is going to happen to the Freys. Whoever read the books remember:
The story of the Rat Cook:
According to legend, the man who would later be known as the Rat Cook was a simple cook at the Nightfort. He became infamous when he served an Andal King a pie that was made of bacon and, unknown to the King, the King's own son. The Cook killed the King's son, a Prince, in revenge for a wrong the King supposedly did to him. The King was unaware of this however as he ate and praised the taste and asked for a second piece. The gods, angry because the cook had slain a guest beneath his roof, cursed the cook and transformed him into a massive rat who was doomed to be unable to eat anything but his own young.
According to the story, he is an enormous white rat and all the other rats that inhabit the Nightfort are his descendants.
The song is used to represent the repercussions to those who violate the sacred laws of hospitality in the Seven Kingdoms, which is known as the Guest right.

Well the Red Viper obviously had to be in the cast! More surprised at the Thenn since they didn't put him in earlier, and more importantly Mace...they *** up the lineage of the Tyrells in this season, so how is he gonna fit in?
Well he is the Tyrell patriarch, so they will have to make room for him. All of these characters debuted before the Red Wedding, but I understand why they pushed them to season 4, there is a lot of fluff right now that needs to killed off to make room, woohoo more dying!

I doubt you're going to see ladystone so soon. If I'm not mistaken, right after the red wedding the thing between Tyrion and Joffrey happens during Joffrey's wedding night. In the next episode I bet
1. Tyrion/Joff thing happens.
2. Little Finger makes his move.
3. Dany claims her "new" home.
4. Jaime arrives.
5. Davos saves the ***.
REEK HAPPENS! LOL I can't wait to see that. One of the things I'm most excited about seeing visually. Fek dat ***.
Is anyone else incredibly psyched for this? The novels are fantastic, and with Martin being one of the writers on this series, I have high hopes. Hopefully "A Dance with Dragons" is published soon, too.
