I haven't been watching GoT so I have absolutely nothing to contribute to this thread.

Just wanted to state that EVERY DAMN TIME that I glance through this forum, I keep reading "Pink Cashmere" in this thread title, and now I got that damn song running in my head!

i haven't been watching the show either, but i watched the red wedding episode clip on YouTube just to see what the fuss is about. it was not shocking to me. grisly yes, but not as shocking as I had expected given the reactions everywhere. clearly one has to bond with the cahracters first to care. oddly, catelyn (the older gal, robb's mom) seemed raw and coarse to me, and her unjustified slaughter of the bystander wife gal seemed crudely done.

I've only seen one episode of this show -- the very first. And it didn't grab me. Seeing the reaction of fans, though, makes me want to revisit the series. Clearly, it must be something special.

Lamma it is an OUTSTANDING show, but I will say, it's a bit of a builder. Stuff happens, stuff happens, stuff happens....BOOM!!!

Thing is, for me, even when stuff is just happening I love it. The dialog is excellent. The characters are excellent and the storylines are excellent, even if there are a couple too many of them.

I can't wait for the season finale on Sunday and I will MISS THIS SHOW for the 9-ish months following.

Oh yeah, if you were invested in the characters and had been watching the season, the scene had infinitely more impact. To see that after the gut wrenching slaughter of her son and pregnant DIL, with just a slight second hesitation of shock and dispair, LADY CATELYN, raggedly slit an innocent bystander's throat and then had her throat slit (in a very Sweeny Todd style)!

It was the best show on TV in its first season. I had to watch the S1 E1 twice, myself, to get a feel for what was going on. It is well written, well acted, unflinching, at times gratuitous, and unconventional ("Baelor" may be the best episode of television in a decade). Fans of the show have invested in the characters and the "Game" itself.

Though it is not quite an equal comparison but I'd figure if you saw a clip of Juliet stabbing herself in the chest with a dagger without the context of the storyline, the family feud, the things they did to try to be together, everything, it would lose something and maybe kind of look like an over dramatic teenager committing a gruesome suicide. It wasn't the deaths (especially give all the stuff we see regularly) that were shocking it was all the stuff that lead up to them, it all came out of left field basically, which makes it classically tragic. It's like how in the heck did all this spin so far out of control, all the minor little missteps. I'm at the first book reading when Catelyn went after Tyrion, all of that and more lead to this.

You can't predict or forsee a thing with this story, unless you've already read the books.

X, I agree with morningsong. Knowing what brought the story and the characters to the Red Wedding makes all the difference. I'd feel the same way if I were you, but having seen what Robb, Catelyn, Talisa, Blackfish and others had to endure to get to that point, and knowing Bolton role to that point, turned a violent, overwrought scene into a tragic, at times poetic, one.

i haven't been watching the show either ... it was not shocking to me.

Because you haven't been wathcing the show is precisely the reason why it wasn't shocking to you.

Yes, LOL! I watched him on Conan. "They'd have known if they had read the books." * A bit of a smart ass, but I like him.

I bought the first two books...going to start reading them, THEN will decide if I need to catch up on this series.
