And about nobody checking Walder Frey for his bytchassness before all this shyt jumped off, has there really been any conflict between families and houses of that magnitude other than the Iron Islands trying to rebel and Robert's usurping. It just seems like other than the Targryen invasion, everybody kinda falls back if it ain't nothing too major. Nobody trusted Frey, but he hadn't performed a blatant act of aggression for the other families to ride out on him like that. I wouldn't even count Aegon's takeover as eschewing tradition. He was from a foreign land and came with dragons on deck, so it wasn't a feat that could be easily duplicated by others. Westeros is governed by tradition. It's why the RW was so shocking and why now the Frey house is looked down upon even more now that it was before. Lot of people looked at it as a despicable, cowardice act, but it was done in cahoots with a major power player in Tywin, so they couldn't do shyt about it.

He wasn't aggressive but he did lay low until he could see who was going to win the Battle of the Trident. Hence Cat calling him Late Lord Frey.

He would have never had the nerve to pull off the RW if he didnt have the backing of Bolton and Lannister.

Yeah I would have had none of that. I call my banners for war and you sit on the sidelines I'm taking that as you being a rogue and not really riding for me. When we won that war I would have shown up and took that bridge from his punk ass. What I look like being scared of the lordlings under Frey when me and my boy just took the Iron Thrown. The small time bosses would have been quick to support the new king over some old a$$hole.

Right, i mean there are entire passages talking about "bread and salt" and the rules of being a host and how that shyt is REALLY important in Westeros. Kinda like how eastern countries are about taking your shoes off in the house...then times that by 10. Robb even made it a POINT to consume and break "bread and salt" with the Freys to re-establish that he was a guest.

The RW was so vile because it involved a GRUESOME mass murder, total disregard for the rules of hosting, the deception of the Boltons, Karstarks and Freys AND the total massacre of the Northern forces. All under the guise of a big wedding dinner... :whew:

lord frey reminds me of hyman roth in godfather 2. michael corleone was like "he thinks he will live forever".

i wish robb had taken theon's advice and just stormed the twins and taken it. no matter how many times i read the books (just finished storm of swords for the 3rd time) it always makes me sad when the red wedding goes down :to:

i always wish i can jump into the book and warn them lol

just re-read the red wedding

the whole thing is so shocking and horrifying
-The band being soldiers (rains of castemere)
-with Cat slicing a freys throat, then going mad
-"Jamie Lannister sends his regards"
-The aftermath with the Wolfs head and Cat being thrown into the river

i hope they translate everything on the the screen just as well

as sad as that shyt is, i really hope they show robb's body with the wolf's head sown on. that would have such a huge impact on show viewers.

i wanted to see it in the house of the undying last season as well but they changed it. probably would have considered a spoiler to tv viewers.

:beli: I downloaded a bad copy of the most recent episode. When Jaime's hand was about to get cut off some rock music came on over the original audio.

I would have laughed if it was Rick roll though.

WAIT WHAT????

Daenarys sees a vision when she's in the house of the undying

A feast of slaughtered corpses holding cups, spoons, and food, with a dead man with a wolf's head sitting on a throne wearing an iron crown, apparently foreshadowing the Red Wedding.
