Ghosteline Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 That scene was even more heartbreaking than seeing them die during RW. And I didn't expect it. I had prepared myself a fruitplate. Just as I was about to dig in this scene started - and that was the end of my appetite.I quess the look of complete disgrace of both Wind and Robb was too devastating to watch. :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizel Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I didn't think the AGOT crew would have the stones to put it in.Horrific to watch, but it is still awesome to see that for all the departures from the books, many of the bigger mental images continue to make it in.

Dove Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It could've easily been goofy to the point of taking you out of the experience, but they managed to make it almost universally horrible. I even expected a few cracks from a couple of the jackass dudebros I watch with after the way they reacted to Cat after last episode; nothing but disgust.The way the head's propped up is unique, but I didn't even connect the discrepancy in my mind of the poles holding the head/later the dude talking about sewing it until I read it on here. Huh.Also an online buddy just sent this to me and I can't stop laughinghttp://i.imgur.com/eZhZRtx.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trident full of Dogs Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I wanted to jump into the screen and kill them. There is no curse in elvish, entish or the tongues of men to describe this treachery.Well said Sir!My hatred of the Freys is only surpassed by my hatred of the Boltons. I wonder who came up with the idea of sawing Grey Wind's head to Robb's corpse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Definitely Mayhaps Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I wasn't shocked, thought it wouldn't be beyond HBO. Honestly thought the fighting happening around the Twins was more awesome and suitably visceral. Random beheadings, men on fire, men on both fronts dying savagely, with Roose scanning the scene at the start... incredible. So that's where the budget went. HBO would be good buddies with Walder Frey since they gave his horrendous act a healthy dose of screentime (as they should).Robbwind was the icing on a particularly hard to look at cake.With Cat (or Talisa, if they wanted to up the ante), I think the naked body dumping would've been a step across the line in terms of gratutitiousness. Frey and Bolton have already been established as massive traitorous bellends by the fandom, as they have for over a decade by us book fans, and I don't think any more was needed to make them appear that way.

Conchobar Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 So how exactly was the head being held up? Was there a pole? stuck into the body? What were all those strings between the head and body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well, it's in http://24.media.tumblr.com/975210af4b0723ed8003b1b0938108cd/tumblr_mo25kxMRhj1ratl42o1_1280.jpgThe only time , for a show with such high quality production values, to blow a prop.If they can do people's heads so well, why is that direwolf head look like something out of a 1950's Z movie?!

~DarkHorse~ Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 So how exactly was the head being held up? Was there a pole? stuck into the body? What were all those strings between the head and body?It was a stake stabbed into the decapitated head area and holding the wolf head further up the stake. :ack:Personally, I found it more disturbing than the head being sown on.

~DarkHorse~ Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Then what were all the stringy things between the head of the wolf and Robb?I think it was just extra support to keep him from falling of the horse and to keep him upright because the wolf head was very heavy so they needed extra support to stop the body from toppling forward under the weight. (Gosh, this makes me sick just writing this and picturing it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Mini Dragons Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 My mouth was hanging open when I saw it and then they showed Arya. :crying:I was so happy when she killed that Frey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What I really liked in that scene was the expression of horror on Hound's face and that he was shocked and felt for Arya - took her away from there fast so she wouldn't see any more of the atrocities.Yep, I really love TV show Hound. I'm really rooting for him to back the Starks (mainly Sansa and Arya) later on and help them get justice. That scene was perfect to introduce the idea.

Kaitscralt Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I was always a huge advocate of Robbwind Greystark getting the kiss of life from Lady Stoneheart so a werewolf man could terrorize the Riverlands (before too much time had elapsed and it became more unrealistic than it already was due to the body likely having rotted away) -- anyways, after seeing the atrocity on the screen, my mental image has become much less "cool" and much more miserable and tragic, and I'll never be able to think of it the same again.

Corgi Targaryen Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 After the show ended last Sunday I thought thank god we didn't have to see grey winds head on robb. I was so relieved.... then last night happened... I had to cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Redeemed Hound Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 To me this was critical to show. After seeing them show The Mountain slaughter his horse in Season 1, Lysa nursing Sweet Robin, birthing a shadow, etc., I knew these scenes were fair game. But I wasn't sure if they would have had it in at all. So glad they did. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I used to be King in the North....but then I took an arrow to the knee.And the back, and the front, and I was stabbed, and my head got lopped off. And then they stuck a wolf on it.Dang. Is there anything those Freys WON'T do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
