HBO - Game of Thrones SPOILERS INSIDE. you have been warned

[Vllad]

Had Rob actually been Honorable he would have stayed with the arranged marriage. I took Martin's angle as Rob was emotional.

Thats the TV version. In the book he is wounded in battle and knocks up the woman and feels duty bound to marry her afterwards. It's dumb, but at least in the book it makes sense with his Stark stupidity. In the TV show he is just a selfish prick.

Rob marrying that women ended his entire campaign. That drives me as crazy as Jon's death. The book version I kind of get but the show version I am at a loss. As soon as he married that woman he lost the Karstarks, he lost the Frey's and he lost the Boltons.

The problem with those plot lines is typically you see stupidity repeat itself. In TV it just comes out of the blue.
