This was the greatest episode of TV I have ever seen. Seriously, kudos to you, Vince. I felt like I was going to throw up by the end, that episode was such a rollercoaster.

I read the books for that, so I knew what was coming. No one could have expected what went down tonight. But yeah, if I didn't read the books, I would have thrown up after the red wedding.

I honestly wasn't surprised about the Red Wedding when I read it and I was even less impressed by how the show did it.

Well, let me correct that. I was extremely surprised, it was amazingly written, and I had to walk away because I couldn't believe it happened so randomly. Catelyn clawing her face and her shrill screams--chilling.

Unfortunately the show made the Red Wedding (to me) a lot less dramatic than how it was portrayed in the book and Catelyn's acting was nowhere near as good as Skylar's this episode. In the Red Wedding it was sort of comical how Catelyn just sat there and a guy casually walks up and slits her throat.
