After seasons 1 when I started hearing that George RR kills off characters left right and center, I kind of mentally prepared myself for the next big kill. I was somewhat aware of Rob's demise but I did not know about Cat or Rob's wife's death. Shit was brutal to watch. Oh and nice little callback for Arya... she was there when Ned died, completely helpless... and here she is again, completely helpless. There's always trouble surrounding that kid!
Not as good as the spoilers I mistakenly saw, but it was pretty good. Maybe the rest will be in the finale. Brutal stuff.
The climax is even more gut-wrenching when you consider all of the foreshadowing. The song the band started playing that made Catelyn so uneasy was “The Rains Of Castermere,” also the name of the episode of course, which, as Cersei explained last episode, is a Lannister victory song. I didn't realize that until I read a review later on, but that was such a brilliant touch. Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78juOpTM3tE OH LAWD, BABY GURRL
Holy Fuck! What an Episode. Still in Shock. I`ve read the books, but still. To see the Scene come to life, especially, where the Musicians start to play "The Rains of Castamere" and Cat just looks at Bolton and sees that he is wearing Chain Mail under his Clothes. Wow. And the Brutality. Harsh, but on the spot. Can`t wait for the Season Finale. And Fuck Walder Frey. Asshole.
This was pretty much me... It was terrible... I knew Robb was going to die, but not how or when. Or that Cat and his wife would die as well 0.o I kind of cried.... Horrible..
As insane as that ending to the episode was, what can I look forward to in the season finale? Is the wedding between Joffrey and Margaery this season or next season?
No idea. Why I don't think Joffrey's wedding is not the final episode: A massive event takes place during the wedding and I'd like to think that the writers are saving this event for next season.
I'm pretty sure the Royal Wedding is in the finale. We should see quite a bit more about the Red Wedding and the events soon after that. If I had to guess I'd say the finale should be just as crazy as last episode.
