A Song of Fire and Ice - DOOM

[jetpack_monkey]

So I just read the following bit in A Storm of Swords:

(Catelyn and Robb are at Walder Frey's castle to make amends for Robb's broken word and everything is super tense)

"Catelyn tasted the wine and nibbled at some bread, and felt much the better for it. Now we should be safe, she thought."

Bear in mind that I've never read the books before, but I was already feeling uncomfortable with where this particular plot thread was going. Now my brain is screaming "OH GOD OH GOD YOU'RE ALL DOOMED NOW I WILL CRY FOR YOU."
 

Edited to add: Yup. I was right. I hate being right.

Yeeeeeeah. One of the most brutal moments in a series full of brutal moments.

Oh. Oh god. I am so sorry.

I was in denial when I got to that part. All the signs were there but my brain said no [edit: oops spelling].

Then I rage-quit the book.

That only lasted for two hours.

i stared at this last night and couldn't think of anything to say that wasn't spoilery. it's hard being a stark! i actually couldn't finish that scene, i was so upset, i just skimmed it and had people tell me if i missed anything.

FUCK WALDER FREY. >.

You'd think Catelyn, who is pretty politically savvy, would have known better.

Alas and woe betide.

I have neither read nor watched Game of Thrones (and to be honest, I'm getting kind of tired of hearing about it all the time), but I think you will appreciate Sunday's FoxTrot if you haven't already seen it.
