George RR Martin - Y u do dis? · 9:09pm Jun 13th, 2013
I think this will only interest Game Of Throne fans, but I encourage everyone to watch that show.
SPOILERS
Just watched episode nine of the third season of Game Of Thrones. The episode is called 'The rains of Castamere' AKA 'The Red Wedding'. It started out as a normal and fun wedding, but it changed drastically. All of you have already seen it or read it in the books, so I'll skip some parts until we arrive at the actual wedding. King Robb and his wife are sitting at a table and decide to call their son Ned, that warmed my heart, but then the treason comes. The song 'The rains of a Castamere begins to play.
Now, I've heard that song on YouTube, so I know it's a song about the Lannisters, thus when I heard the musicians playing this song at the feast, I got a feeling that something was not right. Then Walder Frey begins his speech about him not being hospitable enough, while he's speaking some of his soldiers close the doors, that's when I knew Walder Frey was going to betray them. And, I was right, because soon after that, a soldier stabs Robb's wife who was with child. At this point I was just staring at the screen and saying 'what' over and over again. Then crossbowmen came and shot Robb. So, Robb dies, his wife dies, and Catelyn, Robb's mother, also dies. Then the credits came and all my hopes of a happy ending for the Starks faded away like sun before the snow.
I felt and still feel sadness, but most of all frustration. Which author in his right mind would decide to kill a significant part of his protagonists? The only people I still like in the show is my idol, Tyrion, and Danaerys.
You turn on the television and say: 'hey, time for another Game of Thrones episode, awesome'. After you've seen the episode you just say: 'Dafaq?' and then comes the realization: 'Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!'. Really, this has to be the most emotional, controversial episode in the whole show. Sorry Ned, but your son's death scene has taken the trophy of 'most emotional death scene'. I almost said 'I'm done', I almost threw my books out of the window, but I couldn't. Somehow I'm addicted to this show, even more than MLP. I just hope George RR Martin decides to kill one of the Lannisters next, just don't touch my imp.
Ah, I won't get a lot of sleep this week, I have such a bad aftertaste in my mouth.
If any of you want to relive that horrible feeling, here's the scene:
Season 4 is going to be amazing though, its the last 400 pages of book 3, which may be my favorite 400 pages of any literature I've ever read.
Well The Red Wedding was toned down from the book really. In the book Jayne/Tulisa wasn't there Robb left her to not insult Walder. And The northmen fought back, but other than that they all die anyway. Great fun.
Never trust a Westeros Wedding.EVER.
Or Bran, I hate bran. He's just a useless cripple.
1144831 I'm curious what's going to happen next, since a lot of the Stark protagonists were killed during the wedding. But shh, I want no spoilers.
The North will have its vengeance! Even if I have to transport myself to their universe.
1144846 Im saying nothing only it gets better. The north will forget because there is no north left all is under Lannister Control.
1144851 The only good Lannister is my God, Tyrion. I really want to kill Joffrey with his own shoe~
1144858 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO ANNOYING I HAVE SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE BUT DONT WANT TO MENTION INCASE IT GIVES SOMETHING AWAY. BUT ADVICE NEVER EVER GOOGLE WHAT HAPPENS, I DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS JUST NEVER SEARCH WHAT HAPPENS OR THE SHOW WILL CHANGE. SERIOUSLY.
