My wife expects it, but it's only because someone on her FB mentioned something about a "red wedding" and she (like every other non-book reader I suppose) discerned the intent behind Melisandre saying Robb's name while killing the leaches in episode 8. I tried to throw her off the trail by telling her that Lannister colors are red and gold, red is also the color of the fire god, etc. "Just because it's a red wedding doesn't mean it's going to be a slaughter like you think it will be."
I don't think she bought it =/ Fucking internet and douchey people spoiling shit.

Subtle.
"Just because it's called the Red Wedding doesn't mean Walder Frey will betray his liege lord and throw in with the Lannisters at Edmure's wedding and slaughter Rob and Catelyn and half his army while Arya is outside and the Hound knocks her out to get away!"

Oh so all of you guys have seen the episode early too? Jeez wtf hbo I want early access.
For example: Cat's internal monologue as her mind snaps and she goes insane and begins clawing her own face off. If you expect that to happen on TV without the aid of said internal monologue (and no, they won't have her just say those lines instead) then expect to be disappointed.
considering how little time has been dedicated to robb/cat's story this season I'm surprised that a non-book reader even put it in the same category as Ned's tbh. Remember that people who've only watched the show were under the impression that the show was about Ned Stark, that he was the main character, and did not expect that to happen. It's the same for people reading book 1 for the first time. I'm pleasantly surprised by this report tbh. They must have done the scene very well, though I doubt very much it will meet book purist's unrealistic expectations.
