I had rather hoped we were going to get...
But actually the last episode is called Myhsa, and the summary implies we don't get that after all, instead...

Yeah, the feast is most certainly being saved for season 4.
And ha, yeah, I hadn't thought about the ramifications of actually showing cold hands on screen. Time to shit or get off the pot Martin (or he'll just be masked the entire fucking time and we never see anyways).

I just assume he'd stay covered up. My suspicion is they won't feel the need to hide him, and that will confirm we haven't met him previously but not tell us who he actually is. Bran not recognising Benjen is too much of a stretch for me. If they include Bran telling the story of the Night's King, then I rather think that is likely a clue to cold hands identity. |

Good points. I always have trouble wrapping my head around the huge gaps in the books release dates and the actual time sequence. That's a real problem when you started the series early. |

I have finally caught up on this show, barring whatever was shown last night which I presume must have been epic. There are a couple of huge events coming, so I can't wait to see which one it is.
All in all, I think the TV adaptation is better in most ways. They seem to be doing a good job of solving most of the problems of the books, which makes me optimistic for future seasons.
One thing they have not improved? Bran Fucking Stark. I don't care about his arc in the books, and I find myself caring less in the show. About the most interesting thing we ever see from the whole group traveling with Bran is when Hodor blankly stares at someone and says "hodor" to them.

To be fair, Hodor is awesome; he steals the spotlight with that one little word... |

Nothing was shown last night. They were doing that thing american shows do where there is a gap in the middle of a run for no discernable reason.

Memorial Day Weekend. It and Labor Day interrupt shows as people instead of watching may be out doing things, and they don't want 4.5 million viewers when they could get 5 million.

Yeah, this pissed me off. Not as much as it pissed them off when their huge budget battle episode last season got much lower rating than it should have. |

So I guess Robb's child theory is dead as his wife was stabbed in the belly a ton of times.

They did a really good job with this one. Colossal fake-out for anybody who hadn't read the books--they do so much to make you think things are turning out for the better, that Walder Frey is just a dirty old man but basically that everything has worked out.
I did have to remind myself that in the books, the Blackfish isn't at the Red Wedding, but it looks like he got out alive.

Looks like they're going to basically flex things a bit plotwise to keep the readers off balance, but still converge things in general.

Holy fuck - even knowing what happens that still destroyed me. That was a crushing episode, which is as much praise as I can give it. That chapter was the only one I can ever remember reading where I just set my book down and walked away and the show managed to trump that.
That was extremely well done and that episode will be referenced in pop culture for years on end. It was fun watching with my wife and the moment she realized things were not what they seemed. When the band starting playing "Rains of Castamere" she started to get suspicious and when the Hound and Arya were turned back she just kept saying "What's going on? What's about to happen?".
Having said that, I would totally watch "The Adventures of Arya and the Hound".

Agreed. I really loved the part where she calmly told him she was going to stick a sword in his face. Because he actually looked scared. |

If they start off next week with the wolf's head on Robb's body while cleaning up the massacre then it will be perfect. That scene was just epic and I got goosebumps when they started playing the Raynes of Castamere. It was just more brutal on TV than in the book. From Cat slitting the wife's throat, so the guy just casually cutting hers and walking away then.. silence.
Silence.
It's how Sapranos should of ended.

I think people will talk about the wolf head thing but they won't actually show it, like in the book.

My wife didn't notice the Rains of Castamere exactly but she did pick up that something was a little off. Then we were off to the races.

I think the reason it was so emotionally impacting for me (and I have read the books multiple times) was the inclusion of Robb's wife and unborn child. Robb having to watch them die as he dies himself was horrifying. And the 'Mother?' to Catelyn just before the very end. Wow. Kudos to everyone involved- well written/adapted/executed. My wife couldn't sleep last night after we watched it (she hadn't read the books and I made her stay up late and watch it after the kids went down so she wouldn't get spoiled at work today).

Seeing it on the screen was even more brutal than it was in the books but I'm glad I read the book before seeing that scene. I remember after reading that scene I was in a funk for like a week afterwards because the whole thing was SO deflating. Despite his oathbreaking, Robb was one of the most sympathetic "hero" characters in the book up until that point then... SLIT. That's what good writing is supposed to do, elicit an emotional response and it did. For whatever else his flaws are, Martin wrote that well. The silence on the credits was so perfect too - I imagine living rooms across the country being silent because everyone who hadn't read the books were still holding their breath.
Also, I'd totally watch Arya and the Hound. Those two work well together.
