 was special. Like as a stand-alone episode, it's up there with the Red Wedding in terms of 'Holy fuck, shitting fucking shit, fuck me, god damn it, cry'

As someone who read the books but never went to far in the HBO GoT, I still don't understand why the red wedding is what everyone chose to freak out about. Maybe they played them better in the show, but I was happy to have it come along and kill off some of my least liked protagonists, and there is certainly plenty other shocking moments in the series that didn't get as much of a reaction.
