I think something that really bothered me about the Red Wedding was that it felt off. A bit rushed and a bit weird. Almost - weirdly - cartoonish in the way some of the characters died. I think it was just such a powerful scene in the novel, and it just didn't translate well to the screen.
Mostly because they honestly haven't done a hell of a lot with Cat and Robb this season; so that feeling that something is 'off' has been missing for some time. Maybe it was just me, but in the novel, as I read Cat's chapters leading up to the Red Wedding and at the Red Wedding. . .I kept feeling that something really bad would happen before the end of the novel. I knew the Frey family wanted revenge and I knew lots of Robb's men were having doubts because of his marriage, etc. That only somewhat came through during the last three episodes before episode nine.
