Yeah... the part that started annoying me was when they ...

At the risk of this making me sound like a faggot, I sobbed every time I watched the end of the episode (three times so far).

I thought the look of resignation in Richard Madden's eyes and the grief in Michelle Fairley's was amazing. If they don't get an Emmy for that I don't know who will.

It was a great episode, but cry? Hardly worth that.

The Minsky Moment

I hope viewer anger is directed at the approriate target: the lax weapons regulations of Westeros.  Strict crossbow control laws and bans on concealed knife carriage could have prevented this terrible tragedy.

I presume those were manly straight-acting tears?

Mine certainly were.  :mad:

Actually, I blame the regulations that prohibit a concealed dire wolf carry.

Walder Frey was an organ of the government, and you could even argue that he was doing his duty under the law as he brutally slaughtered the Starks and their people.

Baby, that's a fact. But maybe everyone that dies, someday comes back?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
