Still a very tough episode to watch, even after reading the books for years and knowing what is coming. But some happier moments in the episode as well, bran saving Jon, Daario taking Yunkai, and then heartbreaking as Arya just misses her family... The North Remembers

One of my favorite videos by HBO was this discussion interview with Dan and Dave about their feelings on creating the Red Wedding. www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/episodes/3/29-the-rains-of-castamere/video/inside-the-red-wedding.html?autoplay=trueIt was here that I realized these two were just as invested in this epic story as we the viewers and book reading fans were because they were book fans like us who felt passionately about the story and bringing it to life on screen was an important (and huge) task for them. They considered the Red Wedding one of the main reasons they wanted to make the books into a show series and that it was a 'milestone' achievement for them if it succeeded because of how intensely horrifying and shocking this terrible event is to everyone. David talks about he couldn't believe what he was reading on the pages of the book was really happening and feeling a deep sense of sadness long after reading it and to attempt to recreate that on screen with amazing actors like Michelle Fairley and Richard Madden was a once in a lifetime chance. I'm so glad they did it the justice it deserved. Also a fun factoid that they wrote a lot more scenes for Richard Madden as Robb Stark than they originally intended to do because of how well he was portraying Robb Stark, a character who does not have a POV from the books and was not given much page time as a character himself. I agree with this completely because on-screen he came alive so much more for me and this made the tragedy of his mistake so much more intense. In the books I was far more critical of him than on the show because despite not feeling like Robb/Talisa chemistry was there, I could totally relate to his impulsive decision to choose love over honor and duty because of how young and idealistic they made Robb on the show. It was heartbreaking to see the beautiful young girl Robb might have married and how differently things might have gone had he kept his word. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect portrayal of this chapter in the story. Good does not always win out in the struggle against evil and people pay a heavy price for it.

I've been thinking about this episode a lot these past few weeks when it became obvious that TWD wanted their season premiere to be their "Red Wedding" episode. It just don't compare.
This ep is absolutely masterful. It's well paced, the sadness wasn't just with the Starks (Poor Jorah's face) and ending on Cat was so hard. Michelle Fairley deserved an Emmy. It's so good for me that it's not terribly hard to rewatch. It's an hour of amazing TV.

Oh Walder. You were some villain. And only in five episodes at that. And still amazingly effective. David Bradley nailed it.

Oh fuck off Daario 1.0 with your shitty wig and Cheshire Cat grin, touching Emilia's hand undeservingly like a sonofabitch. You're the only flaw in this episode. And it's a helluva an episode.

Edmure at least got his kicks this episode. That Roslin/Alexandra Dowling's a pretty one.
