Game of Thrones "Red Wedding" (with Fan Reaction Commentary)

Ugh, I don't feel right selecting this video's category/genre as "Entertainment", but technically Game of Thrones is a TV show. Needless to say, SPOILERS abound ahead. I re-watched all 30 episodes of Game of Thrones with my parents, and I really enjoyed it! It gave me the opportunity to re-experience the dramatic highs and lows the series took so far. And I knew from Episode 1 on that we'd eventually reach and watch "The Rains of Castamere" in late Season 3, a time I simultaneously anticipated and dreaded; I really wanted them to know about it so I could have more people to talk to about it (plus it's helpful for them to be just as caught up in the series as I am), but it's obviously a difficult episode to take in. The Red Wedding will likely go down in television history as one of the more brutal things to be shown on a series. Like other fans of ASoIaF, I hate that GRRM killed off major players in my favorite Westeros house in the way that he did, but I understand why he did it. I did an audio recording of the three of us during the episode and then I synched it up with the actual episode video. It was a tough process, and there may be times when the audio appears to be off slightly, but I think it ultimately feels like an average DVD commentary feature (with less talking) (and not to toot my own horn or anything =P). It's a heart-wrenching scene with a huge impact, and I know a good portion of the GoT fanbase was putting their own first-timer reactions on Youtube as well. So yeah, without further ado, here's the scene with our added reaction commentary. Nothing too exciting commentary-wise, but I knew it had to be done after I saw the scene for the first time. Note: I did the audio recording with my iPhone, which is part of the reason why the audio sounds kinda crappy unless you have headphones in. Also, that weird creaking/crunching that's sometimes in the background is me leaning back in the office desk chair I was in; I wish it was quieter, but the thing's basically as old as I am haha.
