My friend (who hates fantasy) was all "WTF They killed ned?" and was actually pissed about it. He was also pissed that Ned admitted treason before his death. He (and I) liked the exchange between the spider and Ned in the black cells.
Late Lord Frey, he was awesome even if he wasn't as old as he needed to be.
When they had ned on the steps, a small part of me was (if they fuck this up, it's the death of the series). Ned died and all was well (well for us).
Disliked how they handled Tyron's part in the battle. It's fine for those that haven't read the books, but I wanted to see the dwarf fuck some people up. The logistics of it couldn't be done, so I understand why they did it. Still don't like it tho.
