Same here! I like that this fan base always leaves the reactors to finding out for themselves.

[@thestach7729]

It was exactly as Tywin said, Robb won a few battles and thought he was invincible, made quite a few mistakes along the road, lost control of his army, that was his downfall

[@LippsReacts]

Indeed indeed

[@gogaonzhezhora8640]

He never lost control of his army. His mistake was he started off as a general. Assmebled the army and marched south. But he never was a politician. He never considered the bigger picture of everything that is not war with a sword. Just like his father who was more expirienced, but still lost like a newbie in the game of betrayal and backstabbing. He needed intelligence, counter-intelligence and political advice.

[@thestach7729]

@@gogaonzhezhora8640 if half his army left before he could even had the idea to march on Casterly Rock, I think it's fair to say he lost control of it. The show incorporated a lot of scenes to display how discord was emerging in his camp, like him sparing the scout, Edmure disobeying his orders and starting his own offensive, the death of the Lannister boys, the routines following Jamie's capture, his mom betraying his trust, Lord Bolton killing him, Karstark disrespecting him saying how he was gonna give him a slap on the wrist and let him go as well as telling him he lost the war before he lost it, etc. Many lords in his army were very conflicted and opposed his actions quite frequently, and they didn't respect him in the end.

[@richardtaylor1652]

@@thestach7729 He never really did much to win their respect. Sure he is Ned Stark's son and heir, but he is not Ned Stark. Sure he can win battles and soldiers love following a victorious commander but what were these victories supposed to lead to? Like Hannibal he could have destroyed army after army and done it until the end of time but those victories mean nothing unless they had led to an end game. Not to discredit his achievements though, but capturing Jamie Lannister and running rings around Tywin Lannister with a much smaller force are no easy feats. He was fighting a war to save an honorable man but instead picked and chose what oaths he upheld and ultimately expected his lords to foot the bill when it didn't suit him. Not keeping his oaths and honor meant he was giving his Lords a clear message that he was not a man that could not be trusted.

[@adri38059]

That also shows how smart Tywin is. He knew exactly who contact to, old rival houses, Starks and Boltons, Tullys and Freys. He ended the war with 2 crows and an awful wedding gift.

[@ryanhampson673]

The song the Raines of castemere is significant if you know the lore. The song is about how house Lannister erased an entire house. Cat knows the meaning behind the song hence why she looks concerned.

[@Timo0398]

I know I'm late to the party with this, but to answer your thought at 1:30 min: In Westeros, when you have guests in your home and you give them something to eat (and to drink), you accept them at your home. By doing so, the so called "Guest right" is invoked. Once that is done, neither the guests or the hosts may harm the other for the length or the guest's stay. This right is respected in all cultures or Westeros, indepedent of your faith or whether you're high- or low-born. Anyone who breaks this promise will be cursed. This makes the Red Wedding even more cruel. Walder Frey isn't just murdering the Starks, plotting with the Lennisters (and Boltons), he is breaking one of the most important traditions and social rules of all civilized man.

[@LippsReacts]

The red wedding 😭😭😭

[@MrEzmodebro]

Fun fact. In the books when Jamie Lannister leaves Harrenhal after being sent to kings landing by Roose Bolton, Jamie tells Roose “give Robb Stark my regards” and during the red wedding before stabbing Robb, Roose Bolton says “Jamie Lannister sends his regards”. Instead of “the Lannister’s send their regards”. Later when asked about it Roose says he was only doing what Jamie had asked of him.

[@ce6654]

Fun fact that the show never ran with: In the show, Cat Stark is dead. In the book, her dead body is found in the river by the Brotherhood. They bring her back to life with the power of the Fire God, but her throat is cut and she is decayed from being dead for several days. She's now an angry wraith that takes control of the Brotherhood Without Banners, and they call her Lady Stoneheart. From then on, a mute, zombified Cat Stark runs around the countryside slaughtering Walder Frey's people.

One of hardest episodes of television. Most people were team Stark and this episode leaves everyone feeling lost. The series is still good going forward. You should enjoy season four.

Well you've been saying things in your reactions about possible consequences for Rob's actions. It doesn't make the gut punch this episode gives any easier.

I really had been, editing those moments with hindsight was wild I won’t lie. I’m about a full 10 episodes ahead in recording of where I am in editing so I have a lot of knowledge when I edit that either makes me laugh or cry with hindsight

[@GodlessScummer]

@@LippsReacts fair enough but you still had enough foresight to realise that there would be consequences for Robb marrying Talisa instead of Walder Frey's daughter. But as I said the Red Wedding is still a serious gut punch as you don't expect so many of the established characters to be taken out at once.

On the night in 2013 when this episode was shown for the first time, it seemed like there was screaming, yelling, cussing and crying around the world. You would have fit right in.

[@boki1693]

When Sam is talking to Gilly at the start and Gilly says he's like a wizard. Remember back in season one, Sam told Jon he wanted to be a wizard when he was young. Thats why Sam reacted so strongly to Gilly saying that. Heres the funny thing about this episode. People get super discouraged after it and think they ruined the show. In my opinion, the show only got way better after this. To me, the best seasons are 4-6

[@AndroidFanatic]

I read it during a difficult time for me and over Christmas holidays, reread like three times those pages because I thought I had misunderstood. Worst thing is that people made fun of me when I said that reading those pages put me in a really dark place for days...I don't think I am dramatic or over sensitive, it's just that in that moment it hit me really hard and I don't think I am the only one.

[@carloslaredo8840]

Nobody can convince me that Robb's marriage was the reason Frey betray him, Frey was an oportunist sob way before that

[@ajstyles5704]

Frey never betrayed Robb, he wasn't aligned with Robb in the first place, the quickest way was though Frey's Bridge, the original plan was to capture Robb during the bedding ceremony in order to use him as an exchange for Jaime. And because it didn't go to plan, this happened. The root and the downfall of Robb is all his own mother's fault, Robb was winning the war, could fight Frey and Tywin both at the same time, Jaime to ge used to exchange for Sansa.

[@GeorgeEugeneBarrett]

Jon hasn’t seen those wolves since they were pups. He thinks his brothers are dead. He has absolutely no reason to suspect they are the Stark wolves.

[@underblader9675]

The Reynes were a family that crossed Tywin Lannister, as a punishment he laid siege to their castle, Castamere, and when they took refuge in its underground he flooded it. The music that starts the Red wedding, the Rains of Castamere is a way to remind to all who forget who Tywin Lannister is.
