Okay, I get why they made Talisa just for the show now--they were like "Ahaha, you book readers think you're prepard for the Red Wedding? How about some baby stabbing, huh?? Muahaha!" Brutal.
True. I started reading after Ned's death was spoiled for me. Though when I read it it seemed so ridiculous I assumed the guy was joking.
Seriously. My stomach was in knots the whole time.
I'm pretty sure Del was being sarcastic, but there are worse reasons to read the series than to avert the potential of being spoiled. This way you won't run across the spoilers about how Snape kills *insert character here*.
That was just smurfing tragic. I can't even.
I wasn't spoiled so it was just like WHAT DA smurf, the whole time.
I have been waiting for this day since HBO announced that they'd optioned the books.

Best Twitter account for reactions.
Edit: I suppose I should put a warning for people who haven't read the books in here. That account retweets some messages that do contain spoilers for next season as well, although not many.
When I read the book, I was confident that something very bad was going to happen the moment Grey Wolf reacted poorly to one of the Freys. Expecting it didn't make it any less of a HOLY smurfING trout moment, though, and I can't wait to watch this episode because I know it will happen all over again.
At least Arya doesnt have to marry anyone from the Freys now. Honestly, that was one of the biggest things I wasnt sure how would be resolved
Also I half expected some kind of horrible masacre because people kept calling it the "red" wedding even though those words are never uttered.

Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Hah, I love it. The people who are pissed off at HBO are the most amusing. These people do know the show heavily follows a book series, right? See:
I actually kinda wish I hadn't read the books first, just so certain events like this one could be surprising. As is, I was tensed up throughout the entire wedding.Idk who the smurf on HBO approved the actions of tonight's Game of Thrones but they better have a reason for it.
sometimes I hate TV writers and their smurfing god complexes! you can't just smurf with my emotions like that! smurf YOU HBO and D.B Weiss
I've seen multiple people ponder as to why they should keep watching after last night's episode. My response to each of them has just been "dragons"
It just shows how good the stories are when people flip the smurf out if a main dies.
episode stuffOOOH MY FREAKING SMUFING (add several insulting words) GOD!! D:
that last epiim boycotting this show!!
this time they have gone TO far!! D:
*sits in a corner crying*
Perhaps a little too much for people who aren't caught up with the show yet. ~Shorty
I feel like I'm drinking the tears of all the show watchers. :3
Can someone just answer me yes or no: will the Stark's ever catch a break?
