Eh, I don't mind the stupid Starks dying. But why kill the wolves? They are so awesome, always make me sad :(

For one, Wilder Frey didn't like the wolf. Second, killing the wolf signifies he is really dead. We know Bran can war into his wolf and while we never know if Robb can do the same, it was implied that he may be able to on the books and the way the lannisters talked about the wolf in the battlefield, it may seem they thought he could warg. Its vague of that's the case but if they don't kill the wolf there is potential for Robb through the wolf to kill a lot of freys.

I know, I've read the books (at least the one for this season). I just really like the wolves.

Don't worry. HBO has confirmed a directors cut of the episode where Walder's speech is interrupted by Iron Man bursting through the roof before proceeding to punch and blast every Frey repeatedly in the face.

Nice, but maybe the background should be all the ugly Frey girls?

I mean, it doesn't get better than this episode. I don't read the books, but when that song started to play I knew something was going to happen. All the time I was repeating "The Starks lost. The Starks lost. Oh my God, the Starks are done."

It was probably fans who had already read the books and wanted to film the reactions of their friends that hadn't read the books watch the scene for the first time.

Most likely. In my circle of friends, most of whom read fantasy novels and inevitably get to these books, we tend to keep track of how far in they are so we can hover, vulture like, over them as they approach the Red Wedding. It applies for the TV show too.

Yep! I wanted to do this with my group of friends but we were in a room where the only light was coming from the TV.

These reactions are great (I especially like the dog trying to figure out why Mom is screaming). I remember when I read about the Red Wedding some years ago I had to take a break from the books for a few weeks so I could regain some objectivity. I'll bet the show producers would love seeing this. I personally thought they had been telegraphing this event but I also suspected I had readers bias. This video confirms that.

I would argue that this is the best reaction video. For obvious reasons.

I've not read the books...but strictly judging from what the show has depicted, is it safe to say there are no 'happy or fairy tale endings' for any character? Seems to me they all continually suffer in one form or another until they're killed by someone.

I suspect a few characters will have some rather sublime endings at the end of the series. Getting people to suspect disaster allows a massive payoff on 'happy' endings.

Yeah no kidding. "You lived= happy ending" I like the real aspect of what it most likely resembled to live in a medieval environment like that. History suggests it was brutal and I enjoy the fact that no character seems immune to unlawful prosecution or dying.

Yeah, Martin has said in the past that the series' ending will be bittersweet like the ending of LotR.

It's all a game for power and killing is the only way to make sure you get what you want before anyone else kills you. Nobody is really safe even kings, it's all a game of thrones.  :P

I am very much looking forward to Sunday's episode. By the way, I'm curious to see if there will actually be a drop in the viewers numbers after the RW.
