I saw it as a way to sort of replace Cat clawing her own face to shreds, although I don't get the idea that her doing that would have been "too much" for HBO but stabbing a pregnant woman about 5 times in the stomach is okay.

Regardless of how long the books have been out, more people are watching the show than have read the books. If you are shocked that people would be outraged when a huge chunk of a popular show are killed off in a grotesque fashion, I'm not sure you understand how people work.

You can tell they're leaving out the facial damage due to CGI costs. Which is why Tyrion looks perfectly fine as opposed to say this
^^^ WTF happened to Riker?
I thought the Ayra/Hound interaction was great, when she so calmly told him how she was going to stab him through the eye he seemed to finally take her seriously, for a big lunk he has done pretty well with the role.

In the show there's 2 lannister armies, Jaime's and Tywins. Tywin's is near harrenhal (north of it actually, closer to the trident, they fall back to Harrenhal) and if they took the kings road they'd clash with his. jaime's is sieging Riverrun. Robb sends 2k men down the king's road to feint an attack against Tywin's army while he sneaks across the river and breaks the siege, capturing Jaime. That's why they cross the twins in season 1. Why they go back to the twins is completely different in the books than the TV show, and yeah the show dropped the ball on one particularly important bit that makes walking into obvious death trap slightly less stupid but it hardly matters now.

No, what they replaced it with is more shocking AND it has more impact with female viewers. Also, the way they handled the death of Cat in the show will really help setup Lady Stoneheart moreso than Cat going total bonkers. UnCat never struck me as crazy, just really pissed off and wanting to destroy anything even kinda related with RW and her loss of family.

Some gems in those tweets, in between the outrage derp:
"If you get invited to a Game of Thrones-themed wedding this summer, don't go."
"If you're watching game of thrones tonight and you haven't yet read the series... You know nothing of pain, sweet summer child."
"The best way to read/watch Game of Thrones is to hate every character. That way the constant mass murder doesn't get you down."
"Game of Thrones has killed off more well-developed characters than exist in most other TV shows."
"tonight's episode of #gameofthrones was a barrel of laughs and by that i mean i wish i was dead"
"You know why the end credits had no music? The sound of your sobbing and sniffling is the music. "
"Another feel-good episode of Game of Thrones. That show is like a warm, comforting blanket. It just makes me happy, you know?"
"Was thinking of rewatching all of Game of Thrones after it ends next week But I'm not because I don't wanna see that damn episode ever again"
"Why doesn't George R.R. Martin use twitter? Because he killed all 140 characters." /groan
"Game of Thrones will really surprise people next year when in the ninth episodes they kill off actual viewers."

Purple like the color of Joffrey's face turned as he choked to death while Cersei looked on.
You don't think Robb did as well? The guy basically disrespected and slapped every one of his allies in the face; the Karstarks and Freys. Catelyn knew how much Robb fucked up by not marrying one of the Frey girls. You could see she knew it was a much bigger deal than Robb made it out to be every time the 3 of them were in the same room. I was pretty sure he was gonna get axed by someone pretty soon since he had burned all his bridges with no regard for anyone else, but obviously had no idea it would go down like it did.

I thought that shit was as well done as it possibly could be. They captured that shit really well, even knowing what was going to happen, I was still fairly shocked. The whole Talisa stabbing scene was a big old, 'fuck you book readers, think this couldn't get any worse? It just fucking did!'. My favorite moment of the night came from the Blackfish - when he is standing there during the wedding and is getting the eye from some of the ugly Frey daughters...just a split second I thought was hilarious, really encapsulated what the Blackfish is all about. The Blackfish also has the honor of having the best-timed piss in the history of television.

Was wondering if or when Rickon and Osha were going to split, wont even recognize Rickon in a few years time, may as well just use a new actor. Guess Martin has good reason for Rickon going to Skagos, thought they might keep them all together but I guess it would be more difficult to write a solution in the books now that Davos is after Rickon.

Why is everyone surprised/arguing about Robb making a stupid decision to be caught completely unaware? Except for the surprise attack on Jaime Lannister his entire "reign" as King in the North was nothing but a string of stupid/poor decisions.
