Huffington Post assembled the more outrageous responses to the GAME OF THRONES this weekend.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/0 ... ref=comedy

If you watched last night's "Game Of Thrones," we know how you feel. If you didn't, don't worry, there are no spoilers here. Just a lot of angst, aggravation, heartbreak, and, of course, book-snobbery.

Below is a pie chart of the most common reactions we saw on social media last night.

BTW - You can't read the pie chart aloud in public...

Since I read the books, I knew this was coming. Trust me, this is only the beginning.

I knew it was coming from a spoiler.

To see it acted out was still a shocker.

It left me feeling bad. So bad I am avoiding repeats of this episode.

Most satisfying is the relationship between "the Hound" and Ayla.

He could have dumped her when he saw no reward was coming,

yet he saved her.

I would like to see more of Bron, he is so 😎

Having not read the books, I can only surmise the revolt of the North is over.

Will Ayla catch up to Jackyn again or make it to Bravos to learn various killing skills?

Even spoilers do not detract from the grip of witnessing the unfolding story.

I must admit, I prefer happy, successful revolutions rather then what we witnessed.

Remember Biafra ;)

Were the Lannister's patterned after the Bush family? 😄

I just almost finished watching the first two episodes, I turned it off before the second one was done, I then asked my son who has been watching it what he thought and his comment was 'it goes down from there'. As I understand they just finished the third season 10 episodes per season.

Has anybody else watch this show, and what do you think of it?

I see nothing has changed.

I'm one that has read the books, but I no longer have HBO, so I can only surmise what's happening at this point, but I will say, "If you have a favorite character, enjoy him while you can. He or she might not be around long."

One might be aware that these books have been written serially over a space of over 15 years. I imagine it's gone in much different directions that Martin originally envisioned. No story I've ever written has ever turned out like I thought it would. A story tells itself to the author. I would suspect Martin has been as surprised as the rest of us at times.

I'm still loving the story, and when the 3rd season DVD comes out, I'll buy it.

The news articles said that anyone who read the books knew that this wedding (apparently it's referred to in the books as the "Red Wedding" in the books) was going to be bloody and would kill off characters. So some of the viewers knew what was going to happen. Not everything in the books is on the screen. But much of the books are put into the TV shows.

There is a huge controversy going on about the "Greywolves" (I think) that I don't understand at all.

And there is something about the dog-like animals that know what they think? THere's something about neutering that might be of interest to the gang here.

I noticed that THE MARY SUE website of MEDIA-ITE has a behind the scenes set of videos on the "Red Wedding" episode...

Why is James R. R. Martin not allowed to use Twitter?

He's killed-off all 140 characters. 😄

Funny. But would have been funnier if you got the name correct. Its George R.R. Martin.
