Re: direwolves, it's always the animal deaths that slay me. Grey Wind's wasn't quite so bad as Lady's, but that high-pitched yelp, oh, my heart...

I was briefly worried that they might sub Robb in for Catelyn for the Lady, Lord, I guess, Stoneheart plot. Because the show has a history of highlighting Robb at the expense of Cat. But given how much the Red Wedding was Cat's moment (as it should be) I'm guessing I was just being paranoid.

It's bizarre, Richard Madden and Oona Chaplin are both beautiful and engaging actors, and yet somehow as Robb and Talisa they suck the charisma out of whatever scene they're in :-(
