41. Well I am emotionally spent

Mon Jun 3, 2013, 06:06 AM

Jun 2013

More than I expected to be, and I knew what was coming. It's been ages since I read these books and I'm sketchy on details, but who could forget the Red Wedding.

The lowest moment for me, when my heart really sank, was the killing of Grey Wind - and then Arya looking into his eyes beneath the door ... devastating. I usually turn right around and re-watch the episodes a couple times over, but with this one I think I will need a break before I can revisit it.

It was extremely well done I thought -- the interaction between Catelyn and Roose Bolton just before all hell broke loose was really chilling. I just hate to think of only one fleeting episode left, and then the long, long, long wait for Season 4. Waiting sucks so hard.

My husband and I have been watching the shows with my sister, who is not familiar with the books, so she had no idea what was coming tonight - and, boy, she was mad. She said, is this show just going to keep killing off all the good characters and we don't get even one dead Lannister?! I had to promise that some satisfaction was coming, but she'd have to wait till next year. Then we did what I'm sure a lot of viewers did, which was to take inventory of the remaining Starks.

Any thoughts on what the final scene of the finale will be?
