The Rains of Castamere (GoT S3E09)

So here we are. The famous red wedding everyone was talking about since the beginning of the show. Even the creators said this is the story they started filming for. Yeah a pretty big shadow to fill ha?
Well if you haven't seen the episode yet, I beg you to go away cause this is probably one of the best TV moments in younger history so I don't to spoil anything for anyone. You are warned.

Like all of the number 9 episodes this one centered around a certain story and characters. This time its the wedding of Robb's uncle Edmure Tully with one of Walder Freys (oh so many names) daughters.
But this time this wasn't all story wise. Little Lord Bran and his gang finally hit the right gear and their story was well played into the one of Jon Snow the ex crow than wildling now again crow. Once again it's the sense of honor that gets my favorite house in danger. The Wildlings wanted Jon to kill an harmless old man because its what they do, even thought the night's watch would probably forgive his crimes in his undercover time, he just couldn't do it. He had to fight his way out of this mess. Gladly enough for him that Bran plus company were sitting in the nearby tower and just discovered his warg powers, by first possessing Hodor (to stop him from hodoring), then shaggy dog and summer to fight the wildlings. Bran saved the day, it seems he is growing up. They now continue their travel beyond the wall with Usher and baby Stark searching safety at another Stark Bannerman.

Speaking of honor, Arya saw herself to be confronted with the hound once more. And she took a good stand when they both showed to know each others fears very well. Slowly I'm starting to get a little concerned about arya's state of mind, she got hard but also very dark. Even though the Hound seems very ruthless he still seems to care for little wolf girls, no dirty thoughts here. So I'm very interested about where this pair will go next. The Dany story was cut very short this week, but the action was nice to look at. Grey Worm, Jorah and Dario infiltrated the city through a backdoor but were surrounded by enemies. Really it didn't look good for them but somehow they made it and took the city. At least thats the next cut we see. This could have handled better but let's wait for next week and complain then.

Now the main story at the Twins. When Robb and his man arrived in Lord Walder's throne room, they were greeted with salt and bread. Which is kind of an big deal in Westeros cause this means you swear to keep you guests away from harm. Well I'm sad to say fair enough here. If it's ok for Robb to break his oath to wed a Frey girl why should he stay true to his words? But maybe Walder's reaction was a bit, let's say over the top. There truly were some comedic reliefs and till the end as a not book reader I didn't saw it coming. In the same moment Kat started to realize, I did. But it seemed nobody else recognized the official Lannister theme song played by the freaking wedding band. Everything moved damn fast from now on. Arrows raining on the wedding guests, Robb's pregnant wife was stabbed in the belly, Robb was killed by Lord Bolton, who admitted the cooperation with the Lannister. Kat took Walder's wife hostage but slit her throat after everything was lost only to get the same treatment and falling to the ground.

I'm still not sure how to feel about all this, even after a whole day to think about. Even thought I'm shocked I have to say this was one badass episode. I still has the Rains of Castamere stuck in my head. Game of Throne proofs once again to be one of the best show on the air.
