i just got around to watching it and i was really impressed with how they did it justice. because the RW isn't a big special effects showpiece like "blackwater" last year- it's about character and atmosphere, which are much more subtle. and yes, i don't know how they did it, but they really conveyed that sense of rising dread, contrasted with all the sort of happy buoyancy you'd expect at a wedding. you can understand how the Starks and Tullys could have let their guard down and genuinely believed that nothing was amiss.

Michelle Fairley for all the everything. and they *have* to do Lady Stoneheart! otherwise what was the point of introducing Dondarion and the Brotherhood? Maybe she gets brought back to life next week and that is the big wtf moment in the finale.

I totally agree with your point about Lady Stoneheart. Cat's last moment is about being overwhelmed with horrible rage and violence. the unjust world that is Westeros has broken her, an otherwise fair and moral woman. and as Lady Stoneheart she now deals that injustice back- a vicious circle.

ugh Talisa, you couldn't even have the decency to be a spy? blergh.
