Room empties, hmmm it got quiet quick. Door closes, ok somethings gonna happen. Cellist starts to play The Rains of Castomere, oh **** I know whats coming. And it was still amazing.

Really torn between reading the books and seeing how the show develops. Argggg.

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 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.

    • Maybe it's just my old-school soul talking, but I’ve always felt that games aren't 'real' games until they hit the PC. Leaving the PC community out at launch just doesn't sit right with me. That being said, I'm probably going to buy the PS5 just for the fun of trying it out.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
