Michelle Fairley omfg. I know Cat is not a popular character with a lot of book readers (idek why...she's always been my fav), but I don't think ANYONE could complain about Fairley. Omfg. When Robb says "Mother" and she screams...that gut wrenching, terrible scream... I'm about to cry. She killed that ep. Killed it.
If they don't do Lady Stoneheart I will be heartbroken. But I think they will. I hope they will.
One of the reviews I read (maybe The A. V. Club?) made the point I've been trying to articulate just to myself about Robb/Talisa. The show makes it about love v. honor. Robb is in loooove and chooses that over honor. But in the book it's more heartbreaking and way more Stark that he chooses the honorable thing because he didn't want to besmirch Jeyne's honor rather than choosing to honor a commitment that would have advanced his cause. And that choice is more heartbreaking than in the show, than love. The Starks and their honor. *sigh* It's why we love them.
I thought Maisie Williams did so well too. Just the sweet, hopeful look on her face when she sees Northerners and then the slow and horrible realization when she sees them and Greywind killed. Sansa may look like Cat, but I think Arya has Cat's fierce drive.
