Yeah, making Robb a viewpoint character is going to make all of that hurt so much more.
That wasn't all though. Shea and Tyrion, the whole time I'm watching, I'm thinking "that poor guy". Jamie and Brienne when they get on the boat, and how (I hope) he's as much a sympathetic character on the show after all this as he is in the books; he's to me by far the best character arc of the books just in terms of how much he changes (or my perception of him changes). But bad shit happens to both of them... And then Jon and Ygritte. That one's going to hurt in the end.
They're going to have to do something I think with the TV series to balance out all the sadness that's on the horizon. They'll either have to amplify little moments to make them feel like larger victories, or create some new things. There's going to come a point where it's going to be sort of like having Ned Stark die every week.
Course that's all next year, they have plenty of time to figure it out.
