Damn. I am hesitant to say this because I haven't seen every episode of every show ever made, but this has possibly been the most shocking, destructive, stunning and crazy episode I have ever seen, and I've read the books! This was just spectacular. The Show has made a habit of surprising its audience with main character deaths and crazy plot lines, but this has taken it to another level. It's a milestone in television, all the clues have been set in the last couple episodes, Robb walked into this and I knew it was coming, but what I saw was just powerful. The audio cue, when 'Rains of Castamere' played, recognized only by Catelyn, and the reveal that Lord Bolton was wearing mail, forced Catelyn to try and stop whatever was going to happen. Then all hell broke loose. From Tulisa dying from multiple stabs to her pregnant stomach, to Boltons message for Robb before he stabbed him in the gut killing him, to the powerful roar Catelyn belts seeing her son died before being killed herself, to Aryas helpless situation just outside the Twins, the last half of this show is just harrowing and tear- worthy. The Stark family, the emotional core of the show, have been destroyed and I hate it but love it in equal measure.
