The North may remember, but in Season 3, the North bleeds. Did you watch the Red Wedding live, or did you have it spoiled? Let us know in the comments—just don’t mention the phrase “heir to the Iron Islands” if you haven’t finished Season 6.
If you are binging the series, be prepared: this episode airs as the penultimate episode of the third season. For those familiar with HBO’s storytelling rhythm, Episode 9 is traditionally where the massive, game-changing event occurs (think Ned Stark’s execution in Season 1, or the Battle of the Blackwater in Season 2).
If you watched Game of Thrones live, you remember exactly where you were. If you’re a new fan, you’ve probably heard the warning whispered in online forums: “Don’t get too attached.” The event that cemented the show’s reputation for ruthless storytelling is, without a doubt, the Red Wedding .
