Hanson, that image is just foul!

Fan reactions to the Red Wedding. Great stuff! http://www.vh1.com/celebrity/2013-06-03/super-cut-people-reacting-game-of-thrones-scene/

Todd,

Well, the Red Wedding and Dany's taking command of the Unsullied have been the most dramatic moments in the story for me so far, much more so than Ned's death. Yes, Quentin,

Todd,

LOL I don't think episode 9 will even be the biggest OMG moment of the season. That comes before.

Todd,

Yes--BIG time. :) The very end of Book 3 is also something of a shocker.

Just because it's a change from the books doesn't make it gratuitous. The fact is that this story kills off major characters. It's something everyone's been used to since the death of Ned Stark. It's not going to stop here, I can tell you that.

I don't agree that it was gratuitous. Shocking and disturbing, yes. It drives home the point that there will NOT be a Robb Stark child to return and avenge him. It does enhance the sense of tragedy with the Starks, which is the point of that sequence.

I thought the TV version was done very well. No disappointments here.

Walter, Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't they just call him back later for the non-torture scenes? Why do they "have" to use him now? I agree with you that these torture scenes had better not turn out to be gratuitous. That article gives the impression the torture scenes were put in...

There's something of a disconnect here. Benioff says the actor is "fun to watch", which is apparently why he's being given so much screen time, but I haven't seen anyone say he enjoys these torture scenes; in fact, everyone seems to be saying "enough already!" Are the producers not getting...

Matt,

Tyrion is the character I feel the most empathy for. Such an incredible mismatch between who he is and what he feels internally, and how others perceive him.

It was a very poignant moment for me in Book 3 when Jaime shares something with Tyrion about a certain incident in their past. Very strong emotions between brothers.

I just took a look at the episode titles, and I think you're right.

Another good episode last night. Very good realization of key scenes from the book.

Yes, the lust the slavers had for dragon ownership is spelled out even more strongly in the book. When people strongly lust for something, they often don't think clearly.

I had read the "killing the slavemasters scene" only last week, and it was my favorite scene of everything I've read so far. I'm so glad they didn't make us wait to see it. As soon as I saw Dany bringing Drogon in the cart, I said "YES!". Very well depicted.

I read that part of the book recently, and it's the best moment out of everything I've read so far (I'm 1/3 through book 3). It's the kind of thing to make one pump one's fist. I can hardly wait to see it on screen.
