Just watched this, and I don't know about anyone else but....
Spoilers behind cut
....while the cryptic hints people had dropped about the 'RW' made it clear it was something terrible, I didn't think it would be quite this bad. I found the final scenes seriously, seriously upsetting, mainly because I loved Catelyn so much, and her dying like that - the last thing she sees, her beloved son being murdered in front of her eyes - was just horrible. I feel so bad for Arya too. It seems like there's no end to the horror for her. As far as she knows, everyone she loves is dead apart from Sansa and Jon Snow, and she doesn't want to be with Sansa (and I don't blame her, who'd be where poor Sansa is when she finds out about this?), and she has no idea where Jon is.
I don't know what the Hound will do with her now, but he's become sort of her protector by default. No idea where that will go.
Robb wasn't my favourite character by a long way, and I didn't care about Talisa, but Robb was one of the less horrible characters in the story. Now he's gone, the remaining contenders for king are really not a nice bunch.
Well, Dany's not so bad, but I have to admit I find the Motley Crue reject such a turn-off that my interest in Dany's story (usually my favourite part of the show) has plummeted. And it's not just because he's completely upstaged Jorah, honest. I've always known that 'ship would never sail. I just hate that Jorah's place as Dany's right hand man has been usurped by this annoying, pointless character. Meh!
Elsewhere, I was sad to see Bran and Osha part company. Their relationship has always been one of my favourites in the show. It's also frustrating that Bran and Rickon didn't get to at least speak to Jon, and now they're not together any more either. I do think now that the remaining Stark children will probably never see each other again, and it's very sad, because they're all -well, the younger ones - such likeable characters.
Anyway, I suppose it's too much to hope that something terminally nasty will happen to Walder Frey and his horrible family any time soon, or that Roose Bolton will catch something nasty and die?
Thought not.
:Gloom:
Trivial stuff: I don't think there is any. :(
Oh, unless it's that Sam is still a complete sweetie.
Also that after watching the preview for next week I'm very worried about Gendry.
