10 Most Disturbing Game Of Thrones Episodes
1. The Rains Of Castamere (Season 3, Episode 9)
The infamous "Red Wedding" episode will go down in history, not just as one of the most disturbing Game of Thrones episodes, but as one of the most shocking episodes of television ever.
Robb Stark arrives at The Twins, the stronghold of the Frey family, to apologise for reneging on his agreement to marry a Frey daughter. Earlier in the season, Robb had married Talisa, and subsequently discovered that she was expecting his child. However, the Frey's were not happy about this betrayal, as you would expect. In a peace offering, Edmure Tully agrees to marry Roslin Frey, grandchild of Walder Frey, the head of the household.
The sense of dread is palpable throughout this episode, and when the song "The Rains of Castamere" begins to play, you begin to realise this is one wedding that isn't about to have a happy ending. After the feast, Walder's men murder Robb's mother Catelyn Stark, his wife and unborn child, and the Stark bannermen. And if that wasn't enough blood shed, finally Roose Bolton, now loyal to the rival Lannisters, murders Robb Stark.
Frequently cited as one of the most memorable Thrones episodes ever, there is no denying how shocking this episode is.
