Every book reader last night


Sad thing for the show only watchers, they have to deal with this for a year.  In the books, this was close to the halfway mark.  The Red Wedding was never intended to be a pause in the narrative the way it will be in the show, and book readers got to read more to get over the gut punch.

Never read the books, so I had NO idea that was coming.   Not a hint.

But wow, that was well done.

Of course, I have no idea what "good guys" there are left that can do anything and it will be a long off season. 

Last nights show changed any idea I had about what would happen next.

As the author of the popular Song Of Ice And Fire series of fantasy novels, it has been a pleasure and a joy to watch Game Of Thrones, HBO's riveting television adaptation of my work. Every week, the show delights viewers, myself included, with a series of stirring performances, deftly maneuvered feats of visual storytelling, and eye-popping special effects. It truly is a joy to watch my novels—my life's work—come to life on the screen, rendered with tact, faithfulness, and considerable filmmaking skill.

That being said, HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I totally forgot that whole thing about the Red Wedding! Christ almighty, talk about a punch in the goddamned gut. I must have been sitting there for 20 minutes afterwards just completely numb with disbelief, like, "What the hell did I just watch?"

I mean, is it that brutal in my book? I honestly don't remember.

The whole time it was happening, I was literally just staring at my television in shock thinking, "Son of a bitch, I forgot about that! Three of the story's main characters are murdered in the most savage and horrific fashion imaginable!" My wife and I were sitting on the couch and we both just turned and looked at each other, like, "Whoa. That was intense." I mean, I vaguely remember writing something like that, but that was years ago, you know? You forget these things.

No kidding!

Still puzzled on where all this will go........... I see the boy and girl kids are doing fine and I imagine that SciFi kind of writers makes sure that good things happen to the kids to build up their readers, so good things will happen to them.  Well, that is how I imagine these writers think anyway.

The blonde girl has taken off her top, so she must be getting to more action.  I think a few more topless scenes are in order.

But really, I have NO idea.  But that is a good way to keep people like me interested in the show.

Good job.

Thing is, Robb never was a main part of the story in the books.  His war was, but he wasn't.  The show decided to make him the main character he never was in the books.
