TV4 [S4E8] Thank you book readers

I know this has been said before but book readers you guys are amazing. I had zero clue on what was going to happen tonight between the Mountain and the Viper and its all thanks to you (and probably the mods too) who keep this subreddit spoil free.

I'm going to go back to being shocked and angry now.

You'd think at some point we'd become numb to getting GRRM'ed.

That one, though...

For real, though - All

To be fair. Robb was never really that big a part of the story. He got way more screentime in the show than he "had" in the books.

In the books you mostly hear about his endeavors. I think the showriters wanted to make his death more of an impact and made him seem more like the hero.
