Definitely did not see that coming. I'm not terribly thrilled with the events of tonight's episode.

While I hate it too, it makes more sense for the overall story line with the continued rise of Dany. Her taking on the Starks just doesn't hold the same draw of her vs the Lannisters.

That story line followed the book pretty closely ... and was pretty well done given the time constraints, although honestly, I thought the season would have ended on that note.

For the most part, yes the series does follow the books. However there are some differences. The characters names were changed for the Queen of the North. In the book it is Jeyne, in the series it is Talisa. Also, parts of the 3rd book were thrown in at the end of Season 2, and Season 3 is covering about 2/3 of Book 3, with Season 4 covering the rest (that was previous confirmed by the producers). I suspect this is also to give Martin time to finish the series, however, he has already told the producers how the books will end, just in case something happens to him.

The Red Wedding was very brutal and even shocked me. It was more bloody than in the book.

The last two episodes of the season have been similar in their design. The the death of Ned, the epic battle of Blackwater, the Red Wedding, all have taken place in the next to last episode, with the season finale leaving the viewers in a cliffhanger of sort, more eager for the next season to get here.
