Haha, those reactions were nice to watch. I don't watch the show, but I read the first 3 books. And I'm waiting for lazy GRRM to finish his last 2 so I can (re)read the whole series!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
I've decided the Rains of Castemere episode is the worst thing I've ever seen on television (or in movies) in history. It took me explaining it to a person who doesn't watch the show for me to comprehend how disturbing that scene was.
*Spoiler Alert!!!* (From TV show, not books))
*Spoiler Alert!!!*
If you're reading this, and haven't watched the show... well your bad, I warned you lol.
It goes from a wedding scene where everyone's happy, doing their little traditions. Even the uncle is happy because he got a nice looking girl. Robb's unborn child gets a name (if it's a boy) and Catelyn seems to finally be accepting her son's relationship... then everyone gets killed, starting off with Robbs unborn child, and his wife (who did absolutly nothing wrong) who gets stabbed multiple times in the stomach.
I can't think of a scene I've seen in anything that was worse. Went from a feel good moment to the most disturbing slaughter of 2 main characters ever lol.
*Spoiler Alert!!!*
*Spoiler Alert!!!*
End.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
The last episode was good buy felt empty. Rains of Castemere was a hard act to follow.

They needed to set up the next season. Ending after last week's episode would leave many wondering why they should continue to watch due to their investment in the Starks. The last episode reminded everyone there is still a lot going on.
@Angrist: That happened a few episodes back, and was indeed awesome.
@Professor_S:
Spoilers from books that have not been in the show yet:
In the books, Catelyn comes back from the dead via Thoros, except she's different. Merciless and seeking revenge. I expected them to end with her waking up, since it's going to be nearly impossible for them to hide that the actress will be back next season anyway, and it would have showed people that things aren't quite over for her.

Sometimes they list an actor just because they use him for flash-backs. I'm not sure if GoT has those, but it wouldn't automatically spoil to everyone that there will be a return.
