I've read the books (which are great, BTW) so I knew it was coming ... but it was still really intense because I wasn't sure how over the top they'd go.
The book is graphic and the description of what happens is actually worse.
Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.
I couldn't believe what happened, because I was sure that either Robb or his mother were going to survive, once she took Lord Frey's wife hostage. Damn, that was crazy.
John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.
I am a GOT fan and also have not read the books (to this point at least, see below). While I knew that an epic event was happening during this episode, I didn't expect what happened.
It has me totally shocked. One thing this author does well is kill Starks.
The HBO series has inspired me to start reading the books as I fear I can not wait until season 4 to learn more. I am just starting off book 2 (season 2 in the show) and in my opinion, the team at HBO is doing an excellent job of telling the story.
HOLY EFFING SHIT that was ridiculous last night!!!!
i did not read the books so this blew my mind.
Rob and his Mom were making terrible decisions left and right, the Lannisters are truly ruthless, and the Starks are cursed with a naive sense of honor in a dishonorable world. But man, I didn't think it would be THAT bad. I watched the rerun at 11 and it was still hard to get through.
When they make a show about a douchebag PGA star who cheats in the Masters, fucks around on his wife, and hunts ducks with a Bushmaster, you'll be all in.
this is why i'm glad i have not read them. there's nothing better than the feeling of shock and horror when Ned got beheaded in season 1 and the shit that went down last night.
I guess it's pick your poison ... I find that a good book is generally better than a movie or television show (if for nothing else than more detail) ... and the books are really good.
So I got the shock reading instead of watching.
Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.
I actually read them all twice. A lot of stuff makes a lot more sense the second time around.
I find myself wondering if the final two books are going to be influenced by the popularity of the TV show. I also find myself wondering if the author will live long enough to finish writing them
