Robb saying “mother” like that breaks my heart every time. He’s just a teenager who went to war to save his father and rescue his sisters. And the last person he looks to for help before he dies is his mum 😭

On top of that he most likely knows they’re about to kill her too 🥲

He's no looking for help, he's saying that it's over, he doesn't care, nor should she. He's broken, it's not a plea for help, it's a plea to let go.

@@manvirshergill1739 it doesn't make it any less horrible. Walder frey also break a several vows in that scene. Like killing his king, killing members of their overlords house tully.

This episode broke my heart. I was waiting for you to get to this one. Ned's death took me by surprise, but it was 9 episodes in so I hadn't rooted for him as much as I did for Robb (and Catelyn) to avenge Ned, to rule the North, to unite the family. Made me feel so many emotions.

[@tywinderbaum5283]

Totally. And Robb, Cat and Talisa dying had, at least to me, the added weight of "he was supposed to avenge ned, now who can/is going to..." and that Ned on top of everything that happened to him didn't even get justice and his wife, son and pregnant daugher-in-law who he never even got to meet all died as well. Ned's death as a precedent made everything more painful and not at all less.

[@Noone91875]

The acting of Richard madden and especially actress of catelyn i forget his name is just so damn great.

Nice one. 👍

[@ScarlettM]

1) It's tradition. You are no longer a summer child, you are a Man of Winter. 2) This episode alone is responsible for creating reactors and reactions on KZbin. People that read the book, knew this was coming and they would record their friends who didn't know and post their meltdown online. Then people starting recording full reactions to Game of Thrones and then it spread for other shows and videos. But this is where is it started (in 2014 if I'm not mistaken). This episode is the reason we are watching you today.

Yes! Glad that someone else noticed that "Rains of Castamere" is Alma-Mater to any kind of reactions on YT.

[@Nightwolf--og3du]

This episode is what basically made reaction compilations popular in the first place. It also reinforces how the world of Game of Thrones works, mistakes get you killed. It happened to Ned, and it happened to Rob as all his previous mistakes led to this episode

[@scoobysnacks]

This is how we all felt when we watched the Red Wedding. It took some major balls to kill off all of the people you made your audience love in one scene. The acting was impeccable though. Caitlyn's scream when she saw Rob die was a total gut punch.

[@SliceOfDog]

Watching this again, I feel like she died the moment Robb did. All that was left afterwards was a shell. When I think back to the Red Wedding, it's always Catlyn I think of. She died thinking her daughters were in the hands of the Lannisters and that every one of her sons was dead. And she blamed it all on herself, as she told us in that incredible scene where she recounts praying to the gods to kill (and then save) Jon, which I think is one of the most underrated scenes in the entire show.

[@tywinderbaum5283]

[@parrycarry]

I knew it would get you, but I didn't expect you to cry. This show knows how to make people emotions run wild! When Ned died, it should make you think maybe anybody can die... but until this episode... that fear kind of fades away when it comes to favorites, but now, I think you can understand that anybody can die... in the most abrupt way too.

Usually we are considered no longer "sweet Summer children " once we have survived watching The Red Wedding ".

[@pacio49]

These *were* the main characters. Welcome to the Red Wedding, my friend. The Rains of Castamere indeed. And yet, the story goes on. There are Starks still on the board yet. Our story is not yet finished.

[@nickrubin7312]

Lannisters are also main characters, just as much as Starks Dany is a main character, just as much as anybody

[@pacio49]

Agree to disagree based on simple storytelling structures, but yes, they are major characters with important roles to play, all of them. We just aren't here for their story. Just a simple matter of share of screen time. The show introduces us to this world through the Starks, so the Starks remain our protagonists. Doesn't mean that the story of the Starks is always the biggest thing happening at the moment. Just that that's the family we as the audience have been conditioned to root for from the start, by express intention of the Author. If this were Dany's story, we would have begun with her, and we would have followed her as the central plot, and woven the Starks in around the fringes. But we did not. Not for three seasons so far. The Stark family are the protagonist thread that the rest of the tapestry is woven around. Not spoilers, just a solid three seasons of established story structure. Sure there's ways we could shift the narrative focus in a story, but the author hasn't even come close to doing so yet. Perhaps now that Robb and Katelyn are dead from the Red Wedding we'll see that jump take place. Yes, we'll see I guess. There's several seasons left. Martin just hasn't done the narrative transfer of protagonists for us YET.

[@kaiielle]

Oh man, this reaction totally brought me back to when I watched this for the first time. It was back in April 2019 when I binge-watched the first 7 seasons just ahead of Season 8 releasing. I would binge 3-4 episodes every day and I remember having to stop for the day after this episode. I shouted and cried just like you did. The only difference is that I wasn't as in-tune with the various music in the show (at the time, I think I finally caught on in S4 or S5), so I didn't recognize The Rains of Castamere. I only realized something was fishy when Catelyn lifted up Bolton's sleeve to reveal the chainmail. You've talked about the music so much in your reactions so far and recognizing the themes, so I had no doubt you would immediately pick up that it was the Lannister theme that started playing. This reaction definitely didn't disappoint and I'm sure was one that we were all looking forward to. Now that this has passed, there are a few more episodes on my list that I'm looking forward to your reactions to. 😊 Thanks for all the work you do to get these out!

We closed by 7 on Sundays, and that’s when this show aired at 9pm - Monday morning, at 6am, three grown adults were crying over this, and we had a group text chat that we were just yelling “WHAT THE FUCK??!!!!!” in during the episode. I remember not sleeping at all that night. I am loving your reactions to this show, please keep going

[@nickrubin7312]

well, of reaction channels that react to any shows, since they've started with GoT, and then had a year between seasons, gotta fill in, so they did with Breaking Bad, or Vikings, or other HBO shows or whatever Some these type of reaction channels existed since s4, but almost none since s3, so technically you're correct.

[@duplonek]

@@johnmurphy7674 I believe he's not. I think you have on mind this scene between him and Ned in season one when he asked for Starks support. Yes he was stressed there but it doesn't mean he was weak. It was because Ned was his brother's best friend also i think he really cared about what Ned thought about him and he also knew it looks bad to say he should be the king just when Robert was dying next to them. He was ashamed by this because he was just a good man. We can see he had a strong character in his scene with littlefinger in season 2 when baelish arrived at his camp also right before he died when he was directing the conditions to Catelyn. Also we know he was a really good politician and that is why people loved him

Honestly, Rob stark could've won the war. They knew entirely trusting the Freys were not good, let alone the Boltons. Rob should've had the boltons lead the attacks so the Bolton soldiers can be wasted and killed, considering Roose Bolton most likely would've been wanting to plan rebellion.

Great reaction! One minor difference from the books : roose bolton actually says the LANNISTER (not plural) sends his regards. Coz Jaime did ask to send his regards to Robb when Roose Bolton told him he was going to the marriage. So in a weird way Roose Bolton just wanted to keep his promise to Jaime (while Jaime had no idea there was going to be a slaugther)

when Jaime was in lord Bolton's company, he probably already had an agreement with Tywin, they just didn't talk about it on screen to not spoil us, however when Jaime was sent off to return to King's Landing, he told lord Bolton, if he sees Robb Stark, tell him "the Lannisters send their regards" ... and he told him ... not in the way you expected 😅 This gotta be one of the most hardore parts, not only in GoT, but TV history ...

I froze in the middle of my kitchen, cheese in my hand suspended towards the refrigerator. When the actual killings began, I was so shocked that I literally fell to my knees. I knelt there for probably 15 minutes, unable to pull my focus enough to move, cheese in my hand, tears streaming down my face. When the chapter ended, I just sat down right there to process what I'd just heard. My roommate walked in on me like that and was alarmed. She then found it funny that a book could do that to me.

Thanks for the reaction! Great one! Red wedding scene is the one which gave birth to every reaction on YT. Now you are man of winter. Winter is coming - and now it came for the Starks... This show just prooves that every political mistake in this world could be a death sentence truly. "When you play Game of Thrones you win or you die, there is no middleground". If Robb didn`t execute lord Carstark and keep him as a hostage, if he married the Frey girl and not married for love... but he is too much of Ned Stark son not to do it and made this things in honorable way - Tywin knew it and overplayed Robb by it and made his deal with Walder Frey. There is also important you to know that breaking the marrige engagement puts a big stain on the reputation of the Frey house, so lord Walder did what he did. Lord Bolton on the other hand did it only for himself and after battle of the Blackwater Lannisters and Tyrells made an alliance he didn`t believe that Starks could be on the winning side. Also so sad about Arya - she almost made it. Next episode would be even cruel then this for her. You see how irony works in this show? Robb who never lost a battle in the end lost a war. A honorable Ned Stark died as a traitor by his own sword Ice. The mother of 5 kids Catelyn thought all of them are dead or lost for her forever. A great warrior Khal Drogo died from a scratch. The breaker of Targaryen dinasty King Robert got drunk and died from a boar. Renly with the biggest army and biggest chances to win also died without any use of this army. And this list is countless. This is what makes a show and the books writing definetely the great! Thanks for the reaction! If you need a break just do it, this waas really hard episode)

Rains of Castamere. To this day that song still gives me chills.

[@Realmediamashup]

Ur reaction gave me goose bumps This show hurts so goood!

[@GreatOldOne9866]

11:42 you never want to underestimate a bird of prey. They are extremely powerful animals.

[@bradybimson9106]

I always say, when the episode happens it feels like the show is gutting the main characters, but by the end you will see the entire story for what it is (no spoilers) and you'll understand how this episode fits not only the plot but the character development of those involved. The genius of this entire story is that the plot, the real plot, slowly reveals itself throughout rather than being laid out for you to follow. Other shows attempt to create the same shock value by killing off main characters, but it never feels the same because it is never as earned as the red wedding. Deep down you knew that Robb couldn't get away with what he did. And deep down we all knew that Robb's time was almost up, we just never wanted to admit it or believe it. You'll get through it, like we all did. Great reaction as always!

The amazing thing here is, just like poor Ned in season 1, Robb's tragic mistakes were on full display throughout this season. Marrying Talisa and bringing her with him throughout the war (and even to the home of Frey, the man he spurned), killing the Kastark Lord (thus losing his bannermen), and generally taking risks that only "main characters" can survive. Meanwhile, Tywin's been sitting and writing letters all season - letters to Bolton, letters to Frey, waging the war without ever putting himself in harm's way.

[@meemeekeykat9402]

i always liked that detail - that in many scenes with tywin he's busy lowkey writing up betrayal plan emails

[@greenapple1470]

Very good catch that Jon not killing the horse breeder was a parallel! I've watched the show 4 times and never noticed that lmao.

[@keanancupido]

I truly love this reaction. I couldn't feel anything after I watched this episode

[@dougburton7416]

I had a coworker from Jordan and he said they often still do the bedding ceremony. So they got married at a hotel and had a reception and after some period of time after they had greeted everyone there was a procession to their hotel room, but everyone (besides bride and groom) went back down and kept partying and then “after a while” the bride and groom came back down to the reception and everyone cheers for them.

[@MikeTythonLLC]

I remember getting so pissed off and contemplating quitting watching I didn't even watch episode 10 for like a month after the season ended.

[@tidepride86]

Unfortunately this was spoiled for me but it was still INCREDIBLY hard for me to watch. Brilliant show early GoTs was. Absolutely brilliant

The musician on the far right of the balcony at the wedding is Will Champion the drummer from Coldplay

[@DTec1978]

The episode we've all been waiting for :D

[@grumpyunicorn3069]

I just want to point out how sweet it is when Gilly calls Sam a wizard because I’m an earlier episode he tells Jon that he always wanted to be a wizard.

[@YaraMay20]

OMG it’s here!!! The moment I have been waiting for ever since you started reacting to GOT. And after watching this I have to quickly search for the scene with Arya (you all know which one)

[@tiffanyphillips6086]

Yeah the red wedding is one of those episodes that I will never forget

[@nrran6835]

Good job noticing we dont see any Lannisters this ep. Just a little subtle reminder that they dont have to be around to get shit poppin. Money talks.

[@tink6225]

knowing what happens doesnt make this episode any easier to watch. i genuinely wanted things to work out for robb and talisa. very few times I've been so devastated by losing characters

[@nickrubin7312]

FYI: Bedding ceremony was an actual thing for many centuries. The custom was different from country/nation/tribe or whatever, somewhere they just put the pair to bed and left, somewhere they actually watched

[@markharris1125]

I've tried to continue this ancient tradition with friends of mine but somehow they always find the cameras. 😕

[@nickrubin7312]

@@markharris1125 lol

[@Beautifullytragic6]

Aw yeah, I had the same reaction. Was 100% traumatized when I first watched this episode.

[@realSimoneCherie]

By the time they killed the dire wolves, I just hung my head. I knew it was over. There would be no last minute savior, no putting up a good fight…this was meant to be a slaughter

[@KatBee00]

THIS is the one we've been waiting for you to get to and we're all so sorry for the heartbreak 😢 in the beginning I thought nothing would hurt worse than Ned 😂

[@markharris1125]

G.R.R. Martin is always reminding you - real life doesn't have main characters! One of my favourite examples (and it doesn't involve horrific death) is Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister who led Britain to victory in the Second World War. Should have been a shoo-in for the subsequent election, right? He and his party lost, badly. You never can tell, with real life - and reflections of it.
