I don’t want to be blindsided like that again! That was gut-wrenching. I was puzzled by Jon leaving after his battle…Not so much about him seemingly abandoning Ygritte but for him to apparently not have recognized Bran and Rickon’s direwolves. I thought for sure there was going to be a Stark reunion at some point in that episode.

I expected number nine to be critical to the story, but I never expected it would include the deaths of Robb, Talisa and (gulp) Cat; Little Finger will be pissed. I mean, this episode was a very bitter pill, they even executed Robb’s dire wolf, that’s just sick. In this world there only seems to be evil and betrayal with few redeeming characters. Mind you I’m not complaining; I’m loving this dark voyage into the netherworld of humanity. And the sudden death of one, let alone three, beloved characters has it’s own dramatic bittersweet appeal: the final expressions between Robb and his already dead (pregnant) wife, and then between Cat and her doomed son, this is rich stuff and I applaud the writters. However, there is a need for some small measure of…

Balance:
My point is that no one, no house, should be spared the ravages of this dangerous race of people. I say it’s time for someone powerful in house Lannister to suffer some betrayal, preferably fatal, to shake them up too. There is certainly no lack of rebellion, resentment and hatred to motivate a dozen plots. Even if it ushers in someone more evil, so be it. The Starks have been pounded enough.
