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.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
