We're not sure if you're aware, but stuff happened during last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones. For one, Coldplay's drummer, Will Champion, was there! Secondly, SPOILER ALERT, it was called the 'Red Wedding' episode because pretty much everyone—including Robb Stark, Catelyn Stark, a very pregnant Talisa Stark, and even Robb's wolf, Grey Wind—were slaughtered during Edmure Tully's wedding to the surprisingly hot Roslin Frey.
We're still not over it.
Many fans of the series, however, did know this was coming—the Red Wedding was a huge plot point in the George R. R. Martin book series that the show was based on, and was featured in the third book, A Storm of Swords, which was released back in 2000. The particularly sadistic fans, well aware of what was going to be happening in last Sunday's episode, made sure to videotape the reactions of their friends and loved ones when the slaughter took place, and posted them all online for the rest of us to sob to/laugh at.
On last night's episode of Conan, the clips were played for Martin himself. His reaction: He smiled as he commented, "I saw one of them saying in a comment, 'Now you know why your nerdy friends were really depressed thirteen years ago.'" Then he laughed.
True story:
You can check out the clip of Martin's reaction above.
