It was pretty good. Except, his wife was not at the red wedding. HBO is going to have a hard time if she shows up in book 6. They were kind of skimpy on the scene as there was a lot of blood shed and Robb was beheaded. So was his wolf. They could have at least had the terrible musicians and made comments about how bad they were. There was also a big battle outside the castle where Robb's army was routed.
Anyone else notice old man Frey is Mr Filch from the Harry Potter movies?
So how many were surprised?

You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
Even knowing it was going to happen didn't take away the shock value. However, compared to the book it was pretty tame. I didn't like Frey went they went through the first time and he extracted the original oath. He is a slime ball.
And Gaffer, you are right about King Robb's wife. I was surprised that she was at the wedding, and also surprised that she was not a noblewoman as in the book. HBO has taken many liberties which is why I continue to watch the series ... just to see what is different.
Ayra was so close!!!
Anyone have a list of those they would like to meet a fate worse than death ... we should start our own little list like Ayra has.
All the Freys for being turncoats and murderers
The Red Priestess
Cersei
Pretty much everyone else I wanted dead is gone, but so are some of my favs. Now I don't know what to do with myself. Series is over for this season and no more books to read.
Anyone have an idea when the next book in the series comes out?

Martin never gives a time frame when the next book will be out. He said when he makes predictions they are always wrong. He did say it was 1500 pages.
They should show more of Arya reciting her list. Any list made here should only be made by those who haven't read the books.
Also Bran is starting to show the real power he posses as a warg. "No ordinary warg could control Hodor."
Dany has captured another city. Again we got short changed in the action.

If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
Still waiting to watch it on my DVR. I was hoping the Red Wedding would be more entertaining. Sounds like you guys were a bit disappointed
It was still a shock even after reading the book. Was hoping that with all the other "artistic license" that HBO is participating in they would have changed something.
I did like the way that there was no theme music at the end of the episode .... the absolute quiet as they ran the credits was profound.

My husband and I were disappointed in the season finale. Seemed like a let-down, especially after the craziness of previous week's episode. Comments?

I was disappointed too. I was expecting at least some cliff hangers. It sure didn't end like a season finale.

Agreed. I know it must have shocked the hell out of people that did not read the books. The silence following the conclusion was indeed profound. It left you to process the gravity of what happened.
As Abbey and Gaffer stated, the actual season finale was a huge let down. I was falling asleep just trying to get through it. The good news is, if I recall correctly in the story line, we are at the point where there will be some major developments early on next season and that is all I will say on the matter
Season 6 is scheduled to premiere on April 12, 2015. I am looking forward. A great show
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
