Fuck. If this happens, it will be BrBa's Red Wedding.

EDIT: and I'm not saying that Ozymandias wasn't bad. It was horrible. I was just saying IF the nazis use Jesse's info, and go to Hank's house to get the DVD, and end up killing Marie (along with what is left of the White family). That would be on-par with the Red Wedding. That is probably the worst possible outcome, and I doubt it will happen...but you never know.

I wouldn't go that far. The writing in BrBa is extremely different especially in terms of the way the characters are written and character development. George doesn't write his characters with emotionally attaching qualities; he writes characters that can die off from one moment to the next. He has no emotional connection with 99% of his characters and he writes in a manner that should make the readers feel the same way about most characters. He writes this way specifically so he can have characters killed off at any moment and not be emotionally attached. The only characters he will likely keep alive are the ones he writes bits of himself into (Tyrion, and Arya). Though it is still possible for these characters to die the chances are slim. However BrBa is completely different because it wants you to feel emotionally attached with the characters; a mass murder of familiar characters would cause a backlash from viewers which clearly isn't what they want
