I think the real reason this scene hits so hard is because, both in the show and in the book, everything about it is told from Cat's perspective. When Rob gets his dying moment, hes already been stripped of everything, his wife, his crown, and we are left with just a mother watching what she believes is her last child, die, and thats what affected me the most.
starsimvidz It hurts so much, she thought. Our children, Ned, all our sweet babes. Rickon, Bran, Arya, Sansa, Robb… Robb… please, Ned, please, make it stop, make it stop hurting… The white tears and the red ones ran together until her face was torn and tattered, the face that Ned had loved. Catelyn Stark raised her hands and watched the blood run down her long fingers, over her wrists, beneath the sleeves of her gown. Slow red worms crawled along her arms and under her clothes. It tickles. That made her laugh until she screamed. “Mad,” someone said, “she’s lost her wits,” and someone else said, “Make an end,” and a hand grabbed her scalp just as she’d done with Jinglebell, and she thought, No, don’t, don’t cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. Then the steel was at her throat, and its bite was red and cold..
Ronin5B Yup, I saw that scene efore I saw the red weddin, before I was a GOT fan I've also seen the red wedding before I was a GOT fan too! I really thought that Robb and Jon were the same person cause they looked desame! I also thought Jon had all 4 wolves with him!
Now it's time for Calvin to continue the cycle. The only way to truly cope with the Red Wedding is the schadenfreude of watching someone else experience it.
I felt like I was going to also. Not because of the blood and gore, but because they decided to do that horrible thing during a wedding celebration. I was sobbing so much and I was so incredibly mad at Walder Frey and also George R. R. Martin for writing these horrible (in terms of massacres) and yet masterful (how the characters come to life) books.
Thing is Martin told us about the red wedding long before it even happened. When Dany was in the house of the Undying one of the rooms had a feast filled with the dead, with a man's body with a crowned wolf's head at the head of the table.
tcpgblizzard JK Rowling uplifted an entire generation and then came George RR Martin who gave us all emotional problems, difficulties distinguishing reality from fiction, and possibly made us all psychopaths. #knightsofthedrunkwatch
@@stefanoliberalemusic1197 If you look at something before you grab it, you give the other person a chance to react. So if she grabbed it and stuck it in his eye quickly without looking at it he’ll have less time to react. Also if he does grab her arm before the fork gets to his eye she has another hand free to grab a butter knife and go down low.🔪
Honestly, it always pissed me off how all she did was slap. I didn't want Roose to die there, story wise, but giving him a permanent mark would have been great for her legacy.
Just gotta say, that you handed over the hand of the king pin to Calvin after the episode was over was like the sweetest thing ever, seemed to help as well.
Calvin looked so angry and hurt watching that scene, the when it finished he looked as if his family had just died, i really wanted to just hug him and tell him everything will be fine :(
First I read it. Then I watched it. Then I watched it with 4 different friends. Then I watched almost every reaction video of it. I still teared up watching it now. :( We're with you Calvin, and now you're one of us.
Before I started watching Game of Thrones, my brother watched it. He didn't think I would watch it, so he told me about this scene. He told me that there were literally no survivers. So, when I first watched this scene, I thought to myselfm "Well, there are probably SOME survivers. Maybe Robert's gonna walk away." Boy, was I wrong...
I watched it with no input whatsoever from any GoT fans - no-one I know is interested in it. I haven't read the books, I hadn't even read any articles on GoT. All I'd heard were repeated references to the show's brilliance from lots of different sources. Then about a year ago I started on season 1, slogged through the first seven or eight without much interest before gradually getting pulled in. By midway through season 2 I was completely invested and I was bingeing two or three episodes a day. Like pretty much everybody else I was fully behind Robb and desperate for him not to get defeated in battle. The thought that he might instead get murdered whilst attending a wedding, along with the love of his life, their unborn child and his own mother, all in a few moments, never even occurred to me. Why would it? TV doesn't work like that. Young heroes die nobly, in battle, whilst helping turn the tide and save countless lives. They don't get stabbed in the back by a treacherous old crook whilst eating at a wedding feast. They don't get suddenly, senselessly struck down halfway through what you'd think would be their narrative arc. But then they do, and it's brutal and sudden, and your sense of where television drama can go is completely realigned by eight or so minutes of genuine devastation. Once Calvin gets over what happened I think he'll acknowledge the unprecedented, callous genius of this episode and that scene. GoT operates on different lines from pretty much every other mainstream, big-budget TV show or film ever made. I hate to create a rupture in the nerd-space continuum by bringing in a reference to Dark Souls and From Software, but anyone who's played Bloodborne or any of the Souls games will recognise one thing they have in common with GoT: they treat their audience like grown-ups. They assume their audience can deal with fictional worlds that aren't constructed solely so as to make them happy. This episode was a statement of intent, and it shakes your expectations and hopes for everything that comes after. For all its horribleness(and it still gives me a pang of discomfort to watch it now) it is one of the greatest pieces of television ever made.
+The Sprawl Season 4 gave me the the most sudden change in emotions I've ever felt. No sure if you've made it there yet, so I won't spoil, but I almost had a heart attack. Everything was going so well, for once, and then dude for fucked up. That won't exactly spoil anything, cause there's tons of moments like that in season 4. I've also never read the books so I didn't expect shit from this, but this show hits me in my feels all this time, it gives me the same feelings that Breaking Bad gave me, that show never had a dull moment for me. But yeah, dude got extra fucked, I'm talking about he won a Lamborghini and then got into a car accident with a steamroller
Melanie Larson When I started Game of thrones, my friend told my Ned Stark was the like Rick Grimes meaning he is the ONLY one that cant die...I kinda got in a fight with him XD
When i watched this episode I actually knew how the Rains of Castamere went, so the moment I heard that note being played my throat closed and I was screaming at them to get out 😭
Welcome to the family Calvin. You have many more kicks in the teeth to come. Quick question Eric, any chance we could get a special episode with you and Calvin discussing this when he can comprehend what happened.
Oh my god, that was crushing to watch .......Calvin just died inside. I seriously wanted one of you guys to hug him. But then later, when Calvin dropped the badge on the table, I wanted Eric to yell, "I swear if you ever take it off again, I'll pin the damn thing on Jaime Lannister!!!!" But that would have been too soon for jokes, haha But in all seriousness, great job with this guys. You've honestly become the very best there is, at doing reaction videos. From the discussions before, to the reactions themselves and the editing of them, to the discussions afterwards and all the spot-on observations and humor you throw in. You guys are awesome
And 8 years later, future me is watching the sweet summer child, season 5 Eric, watch season 3 Calvin unknowingly foreshadow season 8... It would have made more sense if Dany had just kawed like a crazy crow instead of giving that speech in King's Landing. Calvin Snow: "...I don't want it."
I'm very late to this but this reaction by Calvin is the best bar none. The silence, the fixed stare off into nothingness...the fact that his hands didn't leave his face for 10 + minutes, was CHILLING. Bravo!
I love that they have the balls to show something like this. It is the kind of thing that would of happened in medieval times, and it shows how anyone who challenges the powerful can be wiped out. Its also very non-Hollywood.
I don't usually comment on these videos, love em but usually stay silent, but I'm catching up on these reactions and I just wanted to say you're doing amazing! :D
Men, Calvin really looks like he has lost some real friends.... I really almost sheard a tear, but not because of the Red Wedding but because how quite and silent Calvin got.
Eric is a legend and the ultimate guide for Calvin, kudos! The editing was brilliant too. Can't wait for Calvin's reactions to: - Joffrey - The Mountain and the Viper - Ygritte - Tywin - Hardhome - Jon Snow
Jesus! Calvin looks so broken!!! Please give him a hug from all of us! His reaction was too real and for some reason I feel bad for making him go through this! XD
Ahh the red wedding. That episode will stick with me forever. A greek tragedy. Never have i been effected emotionally from any event on any screen in history. And im a man ok. When that screen went to black and there was no music, i was in shock. Just shut the tv off and laid in my bed staring at the celling for 10 min.
+Sneaky Dexter I recommend Calvin goes out in UA-cam land and finds some reactions of other people to this and watches them. It helps a great deal to share the experience.
Calvin's thousand yard stare is gonna haunt my dreams tonight. Ned back in Season 1 was but a trial, this was the true rite of passage for you Calvin. Welcome to the ranks of the initiated!
The guest-right business is why it was scandalous that Roose was wearing his chain-mail: both guests and hosts are supposed to put aside their arms. That Roose has armour on demonstrates his betrayal to Catlin, that he's intending violence in the hall, that the Frays have broken that oath and are also armed, while the Stark loyalists are unarmed. Up to that point Roose has been presented as stoical and honourable, as calm and cultured, in contrast with the Karstarks or the Glovers, but now we realise that what looked like self-discipline and decency was sociopathic detachment and lack of normal human emotions, and what looked like being cultured was being jaded and using politeness as a mask for his sadism and vengefulness.
I also still wish it would have been like the books where Jaime tells roose "Send rob Stark my regards" Right before he stabs him, he says "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" It was like coming full circle from his capture from before.
+LukaBlight69 That happened on the show... sort of. In Bear and the Maiden Fair, Jaime says to Roose, "Tell Robb Stark 'I'm sorry I couldn't make it to his uncle's wedding. The Lannisters send their regards.'" So the quote isn't exactly the same, but the effect is.
libertarianvoter Except it's not. In the books, it feels like Jaime is telling Robb "you captured me, but your mother freed me, now look at what has happened"
+LukaBlight69 See I never thought that line was intentional on Jaime's part, like he knew about the Red Wedding. I thought he was just being a snarky ass and Roose only passed along that message to throw some salt in a dying man's wounds. I imagine they changed the wording in the show because they had no plans for a certain Lady to make an appearance later on.
Honestly out of all the reactions I've watched on Red Wedding Calvin's one was the most genuine one!! This is how most of us reacted when we first watched Red Wedding. We didn't know how to react at all.....
Exactly. So many people act up for the cameras whether they know it or not. You can't tell me being on a react channel and pointing a camera at your face doesn't change how you fundamental act for the audience. This was real. He was not acting. He was not playing up for the cameras. He was hurt and shocked and angry.
35:37 In the fourth book, while Sam is in Braavos, some guy throws him into the canal, and Arya pulls him out. Their whole exchange i was practically screaming "TELL HIM YOUR NAME ARYA! HE KNOWS YOUR BROTHERS! HE CAN TAKE YOU TO THEM!"
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws, And mine are long and sharp, my Lord, as long and sharp as yours. And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear. And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.

I've watched about a bajillion Red Wedding reactions and this is still one of my favorites. When Robb & Talisa were talking before everything went down, and she was telling him what she wanted to name the baby, Calvin has this look of pure joy and contentment. Which makes his reaction to the slaughter so much more heartbreaking!
I’ve read the books twice, re-watched the series many times but I have been enjoying Calvin’s journey so much as someone watching it for the first time. I love that Eric never spoils it for Calvin, and chuckle each time Calvin guesses something right and watch Eric ‘eye’ the camera 😂 I wish I could be watching it for the first time again but glad I can at least pretend through Calvin. Thanks for the opportunity 😊
The only thing I regret about my first watching of GOT, is I watched it alone. I was so shocked, no tears, think I was to stunned. I sat for about 5 mins after just not moving.
I just started this series last week and I’ve been binging it hard to get to this point already, and I can handle gore and betrayal in movies and books well, but this one really got my stomach in a knot and had to pause and take a break
I remember the first time I watched it was with a DVD box set. I was already up late to finish the episode, but I put the next one on and kept going until a not-depressing scene could be the last thing I saw before bed. (I turned it off after Hodor smiled.)
This was pretty much my reaction, too. I never looked away, and didn't break down crying or anything... but my mind basically shut down, and I felt dead inside. Never felt so impacted by any show or movie like that before.
When I first realized that this episode would fall on a Sunday, I felt bad for Calvin cause I figured he'd want to see what came next really bad, right away. Having watched it, I realize having the week to process this episode is probably the best option. I almost feel bad for anticipating it so much. Almost.
Discovered your GoT reaction videos and started at the beginning. I was looking forward to this episode. Calvin reacted exactly as I did. I love how they just went to the black screen with no music at the end of the episode. Felt like the show made sure there was no distraction from what happened at the end. Love your videos and can't wait to watch more. Thanks.
Poor, poor Calvin. Shellshock, and he wasn't even in the War. "If that's what it takes to get it... I don't want it." I imagine many soldiers said that when they got the Purple Heart.
Calvin is no summer child anymore. He is now a man of winter.

Men, Calvin really looks like he has lost some real friends.... I really almost sheard a tear, but not because of the Red Wedding but because how quite and silent Calvin got.
Eric is a legend and the ultimate guide for Calvin, kudos! The editing was brilliant too.
Can't wait for Calvin's reactions to:
- Joffrey
- The Mountain and the Viper
- Ygritte
- Tywin
- Hardhome
- Jon Snow
+FGMuks
+ Tyrion and Dany meet
+ Jorah in the Great Pits
+ Drogon Rescues Dany
+ Walk of Shame
+ Arya and Meryn fucking Trant
+ Theon saves Sansa
THAT LOOK that Eric gave us before Rains of Castamere...
Calvin looks dead inside. His soul was snatched by Walder Frey and Roose Bolton. He can't even laugh he's so hurt. I feel you broham.
@Jordan Vance No they weren't.
Calvin saying "if this is what it takes then I don't want it" killed me lol
Calvin's hands don't leave his face for 10 mins.
Calvin's face during this honestly scared me.
Jesus! Calvin looks so broken!!! Please give him a hug from all of us! His reaction was too real and for some reason I feel bad for making him go through this! XD
Ahh the red wedding. That episode will stick with me forever. A greek tragedy. Never have i been effected emotionally from any event on any screen in history. And im a man ok. When that screen went to black and there was no music, i was in shock. Just shut the tv off and laid in my bed staring at the celling for 10 min.
I’ve rewatched this video at least 10 times throughout the years.
That reaction was beautiful. That's how I felt. Give that man A HUG!!!
+Sneaky Dexter I recommend Calvin goes out in UA-cam land and finds some reactions of other people to this and watches them. It helps a great deal to share the experience.
I honestly felt that Rob was doomed the second he back stabbed the Freys by not marrying the woman he was promised to. I didn't expect his mom to die.
So much is said without saying a word. :'( Thanks for this one guys.
this has to be the most legendary blind wave video of all time lol
I still cry. No matter how many times
So many emotions being spoken so loudly in the silence of Calvin. 💔
Calvin's thousand yard stare is gonna haunt my dreams tonight. Ned back in Season 1 was but a trial, this was the true rite of passage for you Calvin. Welcome to the ranks of the initiated!
In the books, grey wind was always snarling at Freys. He was very distrusting of them. And robb's last word was "grey wind..."
Let's all give Calvin a hug, for the watch.
The guest-right business is why it was scandalous that Roose was wearing his chain-mail: both guests and hosts are supposed to put aside their arms. That Roose has armour on demonstrates his betrayal to Catlin, that he's intending violence in the hall, that the Frays have broken that oath and are also armed, while the Stark loyalists are unarmed. Up to that point Roose has been presented as stoical and honourable, as calm and cultured, in contrast with the Karstarks or the Glovers, but now we realise that what looked like self-discipline and decency was sociopathic detachment and lack of normal human emotions, and what looked like being cultured was being jaded and using politeness as a mask for his sadism and vengefulness.
I also still wish it would have been like the books where Jaime tells roose "Send rob Stark my regards" Right before he stabs him, he says "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" It was like coming full circle from his capture from before.
+LukaBlight69 That happened on the show... sort of. In Bear and the Maiden Fair, Jaime says to Roose, "Tell Robb Stark 'I'm sorry I couldn't make it to his uncle's wedding. The Lannisters send their regards.'" So the quote isn't exactly the same, but the effect is.
libertarianvoter Except it's not. In the books, it feels like Jaime is telling Robb "you captured me, but your mother freed me, now look at what has happened"
+LukaBlight69 See I never thought that line was intentional on Jaime's part, like he knew about the Red Wedding. I thought he was just being a snarky ass and Roose only passed along that message to throw some salt in a dying man's wounds. I imagine they changed the wording in the show because they had no plans for a certain Lady to make an appearance later on.
+LukaBlight69 Depends on whether they still wanted to do Stoneheart at the time. They'll probably never do it.
That only would confuse non-book readers and make them hate Jaime so soon after trying to redeem him.
this is a true reaction that i want, not screaming and shouting missing scenes just pure disbelief and waiting for hope,
Honestly out of all the reactions I've watched on Red Wedding Calvin's one was the most genuine one!! This is how most of us reacted when we first watched Red Wedding. We didn't know how to react at all.....
True
Exactly. So many people act up for the cameras whether they know it or not. You can't tell me being on a react channel and pointing a camera at your face doesn't change how you fundamental act for the audience.
This was real. He was not acting. He was not playing up for the cameras. He was hurt and shocked and angry.
"We keep forgetting about Gendry"
So did the show runners.
35:37
In the fourth book, while Sam is in Braavos, some guy throws him into the canal, and Arya pulls him out. Their whole exchange i was practically screaming "TELL HIM YOUR NAME ARYA! HE KNOWS YOUR BROTHERS! HE CAN TAKE YOU TO THEM!"
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my Lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

16:38 Holy shit I've never seen a man break before my eyes Calvin I'm so sorry mate
We're watching you rewatch and watch him, while he is watching it for the first time. Feeling like a stalker.
This episode really fucked me up I lost my shit
9:02 "This is why I'm okay with paying taxes" LOL dying
Bless him
I've watched about a bajillion Red Wedding reactions and this is still one of my favorites. When Robb & Talisa were talking before everything went down, and she was telling him what she wanted to name the baby, Calvin has this look of pure joy and contentment. Which makes his reaction to the slaughter so much more heartbreaking!
I’ve read the books twice, re-watched the series many times but I have been enjoying Calvin’s journey so much as someone watching it for the first time. I love that Eric never spoils it for Calvin, and chuckle each time Calvin guesses something right and watch Eric ‘eye’ the camera 😂 I wish I could be watching it for the first time again but glad I can at least pretend through Calvin. Thanks for the opportunity 😊
"we keep forgetting about gendry" --> well yeah, the got crew did too for a while eventually
The only thing I regret about my first watching of GOT, is I watched it alone. I was so shocked, no tears, think I was to stunned. I sat for about 5 mins after just not moving.
I just started this series last week and I’ve been binging it hard to get to this point already, and I can handle gore and betrayal in movies and books well, but this one really got my stomach in a knot and had to pause and take a break
I remember the first time I watched it was with a DVD box set. I was already up late to finish the episode, but I put the next one on and kept going until a not-depressing scene could be the last thing I saw before bed. (I turned it off after Hodor smiled.)
Every time, that primal mom scream gets me right in the feels
This was pretty much my reaction, too. I never looked away, and didn't break down crying or anything... but my mind basically shut down, and I felt dead inside. Never felt so impacted by any show or movie like that before.
calvin.exe has stopped working
Calvin's reaction is pretty much mine. shock, sadness and anger rolled into one. like WTF?
Rob: it seems to me the father should have some say in his naming.
She: Ed ard
Rob: the father has nothing to say in his naming
I just wanna give poor Calvin a hug.
When I first realized that this episode would fall on a Sunday, I felt bad for Calvin cause I figured he'd want to see what came next really bad, right away. Having watched it, I realize having the week to process this episode is probably the best option. I almost feel bad for anticipating it so much. Almost.
Poor Calvin he seems broken after watching :3
A heavy heart receives the Hand. Congratulations, Calvin.
Calvin was clearly plotting his own Red Wedding during this.
Discovered your GoT reaction videos and started at the beginning. I was looking forward to this episode. Calvin reacted exactly as I did. I love how they just went to the black screen with no music at the end of the episode. Felt like the show made sure there was no distraction from what happened at the end. Love your videos and can't wait to watch more. Thanks.
I love how calvins look at 34:10 is like: Why did I ever want to earn this piece of shit merchandise... so not worth it.
It's been a while since I've seen anyone look the way Calvin did. My gosh.
Poor, poor Calvin. Shellshock, and he wasn't even in the War. "If that's what it takes to get it... I don't want it." I imagine many soldiers said that when they got the Purple Heart.
In the second 18:02 until the 24:05, Calvin enter in pause.
That dread
That shock
That sorrow
THAT is what happens when you have good characters
Calvin handled that with some serious poise. I was on the verge of tears my first time. I was so angry and confused.
I just watched this episode and i felt like calvin. I was in disbelief shock. Wow what a episode.
Calvin is no longer a sweet summer child. He is ready for Winter. And that's for the best, since it is coming.
