Okay so I know this a blog about horror/sci-fi but last night's Game of Thrones deserves a posting.
"The Rains of Castamere" made every viewer cry, stop breathing, yell and throw up. As a viewer who knew what was going to happen after reading the books, I was still unprepared for what I witnessed. *SPOILER ALERT* turn back of you haven't watched it yet!
From a Red Wedding to Hodor being invaded by Bran, this episode was intense to say the least.
Jon, Ygrite and the other widlings are still on their quest to get to The Wall when they spot a man with horses, so naturally they all want to kill him and steal the horses. Meanwhile Jon Snow is having a fit because he doesn't want the old man to be kill which I agree with but Ygrite had to go and say that killing him is better than him dying of old age. Which I guess is valid? I don't know,if I was him I'd let them kill me. Now remember the weird/mean guy who is also the pirate with the glass eye in "Pirates of the Caribbean"? He calls out Jon Snow and says he's still a "crow" and tells him to kill the old man, which he cannot do. So a fight begins and Jon escapes, leaving Ygrite behind.
Bran and Rickon are still embarking on the task to find the three-eyed raven with Reeds,Osha and Hodor, when they come across a windmill to take refuge in as a storm is coming. While Bran is asking Osha how she got over the wall, Hodor becomes hysterical due to his immense fear of storms. Soon they hear people outside and lo and behold it is Jon Snow and the Merry Wildling Men. Worried that the men will find them due to Hodor's hysteria. Bran INVADES Hodor's mind to calm his mind!!!! And then tells Osha and Rickon they must continue to Castle Black while he and the Reeds go on to find the three eyed raven.
Arya and The Hound are still trying to get to the twins when they come across a man stuck in the road so naturally The Hound wants to kill him. However,Arya stepped in front as he was about to strike the man and she tells him to spare the man and she later she basically tells him she will kill him no matter what he does in his life. Which is funny she should say something like that,
Robb and Catelyn are on their way to The Twins to marry Edmure Tully to one of Walter Freys daughter since Robb broke a promise to do just that by marrying another and now they're having a baby. Walter Frey accepts the Starks and the banner-men into their castle and shows them hospitality by offering food, a custom to show good will. He tells Robb it's all water under the bridge and the wedding will continue. As the reception comes to a close Walter Frey asks Robb to announce the bedding ceremony. Then Catelyn starts to look around as the Frey men close the doors and start to play "The Rains of Castamere" and look terrified! As she should of!!!!! EVERYBODY DIED!!!! The baby was stabbed while in Robb's wife stomach, Robb was shot like 8 times (like father,like son am I right?) and Catelyn killed Walter Frey's daughter/wife then her throat was slit!!! Roose Bolton sold everyone out and Blackfish is still alive!! So many things happened and yet Arya still had to witness Greywind being murdered and as she's about to run into the hall, The Hound stops her and knocks her out!
Now take a deep breath. The Hound this episode showed his more redeeming qualities and Bran made a brave choice....these are the only happy things I can say about this episode. It was terrible but great. I'm looking forward to a certain character to come back either in next weeks episode or next season.
Hopefully your crying will subside but if not write George R.R. Martin an angry letter.
Thanks friends for reading! Keep watching and get scared!
