I have mixed feelings about the way the red wedding was portrayed but mostly positive.
+ Loved the switch to the funeral dirge after the guard closes the doors. Catelyn was clearly the first to suspect something. +loved how she peeled back the guards shirt to see the chainmail and the guards body language as if to say "yes of course don't act so surprise". -makeup could have better as I could tell the moment they switched from the actors to the plaster busts for the throat slitting - Robb spinning around while getting shot at was a little hammy. Granted he was clearly drunk at the time. +/- the whole scene had an air about it almost as if they wanted the viewerto wquestion whether it was all really happening and I don't know if it was intentional or not or even just me. +/-Talisa just sitting there not even budging an inch before the guard came up and stabbed her repeatedly in the stomach was the oddest segment of all for me. Just the lack of any effort on the Starks side to at least try to defend themselves aside from Catelyn was odd. Maybe they really just didn't know how deep in they were aside from her who was again the first to suspect things as early as the guard closing the doors. |

This thread is "Game of Thrones" not "A Song of Fire and Ice."
Anything from the books should be enclosed in spoiler tags, even if it already occurred in the series. Those of us who have not read the books thank everyone who use spoiler tags.

As a question for the non readers: Does the even in the last episodelook believable? I was watching it with a non reader friend last night and he was really annoyed and dissatisfied after the last episode, complaining that the event was completely unforeshadowed and disconnected from previous events, and about as believable or coherent as the writers suddenly deciding to kill a character by having him slip and hit his head on a rock. I do see his point as they did cut some of the foreshadowing that was present in the books like Grey Wolf heavily barking at the Freys upon their arrival (hence why he was locked in a cage), however I don't know if this is a case of my friend being picky or if it's a general feeling (and as a novel reader I don't really have a neutral POV anymore )

Yeah, it made perfect sense to me. They've made quite a point of saying you don't screw with the Freys. It was a big point in season 2, if I recall. Didn't Catelyn have a huge argument with Robb about it when he got with that other girl?

Nope.There were several hints of the betrayal. Like there scenes of Tywin writing a letter to someone, Bolton releasing Jamie to be return to his father even though he was supposed to bring him back to Robb, Tywin some how knows Robb's younger brothers are dead when nobody knows about their fate since Winterfell was burned and the only person who knew was "The Boy" after Theon told him the boys escaped but he faked their death and a hint The Boy is working with Bolton since his torture rack looks similar to the Bolton's sigil.
So there. Either your friend was clueless or wasn't paying attention.

This might be why the Starks didn't expect the betrayal since bread and salt is a serious promise to their Gods that breaking it is a taboo. The fact Walder Frey broke it by killing his guests in his own home is gonna make people distrust him and want him and his family dead.
