What the ****. I've never been so shocked in my life.

At first, I was like...

And then, I was like...

I knew something was up when the doors closed. And when Catelyn Tully revealed the chain-mail under Roose Bolton's clothing. Even so, I thought Robb and Talisa Stark (and his mother) would get away. The shock hit me the hardest when Talisa was stabbed to death in her stomach. My goodness, I've never been this shocked even by Ned Stark's death at the end of season 1.

What they did to Robb's

body in the book is even more shocking.

Some idiot spoiled it for me a few months ago, I knew it was coming and it has had the same effect as if I had watched it not knowing.

I thought they were going to leave it till the last ep.

Same, I knew it was coming and they still managed to surprise me!

HOLY..... :o What an episode :D

Can't wait until episode 10 now and then season 04

Can't believe they killed them off :( What's going to happen now?

The remainder of book 3, which is going to be season 4 (not to mention if they decide to squeeze anything in from book 4) is more packed than this season, easily.

That would have been a terrible episode to leave viewers with till the next season. Better to have one more to give people a chance to digest it and maybe some hope. Go on hiatus with that as the last episode and I can see some viewers not coming back. Going on hiatus with

Talisa's death

and the rest as the last thing on viewers mind, not nice. I'm glad there's one more :/.

I think that she wasn't pregnant in the books? I've been told, cuz I havent read them. That was just a freebie from the showrunners I'm guessing.

1) Its not the same girl in the books. Its Jeyne Westerling in the books.

2) Jeyne Westerling does not attend the RW.

3) Jeyne Westerling does not die.

4) It is unknown if Jeyne was ever pregnant, but it is believed she was not.

The remainder of book 3, which is going to be season 4 (not to mention if they decide to squeeze anything in from book 4) is more packed than this season, easily.

The next season is going to be parts of books 3 and 4. They just announced casting for the 'new' characters from book 4.

I didn't like that the music wasn't terrible. That was a big part of the event from the novel. (The musicians were sellswords.)

Also: Did Brynden die? He also doesn't attend the RW in the novel.

Edit: Also, Rickon is growing like a weed. He's gonna be as big as Hodor next season.

Yeah, I figure Kingsmoot's in. Preview for next week's episode has Asha Yara in it, I guess they're setting up the Iron Island storyline for next season.

2.

I didn't care about that. It's pretty clear they were sellswords anyway, and it could've been distracting if they kept the awful music.

3.

He went to take a leak. Presumably he's escaped. Actually quite certain of it, they've never killed off anyone who has further (important) involvement in the story.

Btw I hate the spoiler tags on this forum, why don't we use the expanded boxed ones? A fair warning, a semi-spoilerish image posted below (nothing really important)

When Dany asks about Daario:

Poor Jorah, I felt really bad for him.

Please be mindful of those that haven't seen the latest episode. I had to edit some post to add spoiler tags.

Uh, spoiler rules on neowin have ALWAYS been that if the episode has aired in the US, it doesn't need tags. Most of us still do it to be nice, but you're wrong here.

I think thats an important part - and its the first clue that Catelyn picks up on. The first clue that GRRM dropped to the reader.

3.

You're right, I forgot that line. He must have swam to safety.

BOOK SPOILERS / TV SPECULATION

Will she return as Lady Stoneheart?, not sure on the whole thing just heard some stuff on Twitter about this character

Rappy stop spoiling stuff for yourself!

Anyway, fans are speculating it might happen next episode as it's titled "Mhysa" which is mother in High Valyrian. So far all the episodes had multiple meanings (Kissed By Fire referring to both Ygritte/Jon and Beric/The Hound etc) so it holds some weight. We'll see in a week.

Yeah, but even Cat is commenting more on the horrible sound than she is picking up anything. Either way, when they start playing Rains is where it's at.

3.

Haha, yeah.

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
