We all know it was in the epilogue, but we also all know the show takes liberties with both timelines and whole storylines so it's not really mock-worthy that many people expected some sort of unCat cliffhanger...i.e. finding her body not necessarily bringing her back yet.

I liked it mainly bc of the Tywin/Joff/Tyrion scene and Arya killing freys!!!! yay!! but my unsullied husband and semi-spoiled son (by me i have to have someone to talk to about it! Lol) thought it was kinda boring. Expected UnCat or at least the set up for her. Solid 7 from me

It wasn't the fact that I knew, it was the fact that it was shown less from Cat's perspective of losing all her children and all the North being wiped out and more from Rob and Talisa and baby to be's perspective which was good and shocking but for ME lacked the emotional impact (and since it didn't happen in the books it isn't bc I knew it was coming)

Quotes not working for me, but no I do not believe it was bc I knew what was coming. It just changed the scene for me emotionally focusing in Talisa more before the massacre. Like I said, I loved the episode... I really did. It was just very different impact with the TV perspective. I'm not a book purist, I like the show to make changes. I guess maybe I just never connected to Talisa's chAracter and her being at the RW changed the dynamic of the scene ( for me at least) and so, although I liked it, it didn't quite have the same punch emotionally (for me) (Sorry for errors; on my phone with one hand typing while rocking my little one:)

Rosalind was all wrong. She wasn't sad or nervous at all really. Focusing on Rob and Talisa vs Rob and Cat changed the scene and somehow, though gripping and shocking, was not as emotionally horrific as Cat's POV in the book. I loved the episode but it just doesn't come close to the emotional punch the scene packed in the book.

But we also got that info in the books pre-RW didn't we?

Oops! New here. But ITA with expecting Sam's scene to have Coldhands, but I liked how it played out to give us Slayer Sam and I'm sure we'll see Coldhands soon.
