Holy crap! Did you watch it last night?

I did! And it's been semi-quiet here at MNPP today because I haven't been able to stop reading reactions and recaps all around the web today. I knew it was coming, since I read the books, but it knocked me for a loop anyway. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

I haven't read the books yet (I have them) because I'm really enjoying the surprises of it all. I think my jaw hit the floor and I just kept staring at the TV long after the last credits rolled.

I was pretty skeptical that the show would be able to make the scene shake me like it did when I read it - I knew it was coming after all! But they staged it masterfully and I had a lump in my gut for the last fifteen minutes or so that only got worse and worse as they stretched it out. Putting Robb's wife in the thick of it (she's not there in the books) added a disorienting element, I kept trying to remember what her place was there, and so starting off the horror by doing to her what we never read in the book, it totally got me. And from there it's just wham wham wham awfulness.
