if you don't recognize this as d&d softening us up to destroy us later, as ramsay once said, "you haven't been paying attention."
remember all the other times when things have seemed happy, and what happened after that. they've been doing this to us from the first episode! "aw, look at ned and his nice family. they look so happy together!" then bran gets pushed out a window and almost dies.
let's see, what else? oh yeah. "aw look, robb going to be a dad and talisa wants to name it eddard if it's a boy. and look how happy edmure is with his new wife. everyone's laughing and having a great time!" and then suddenly RED WEDDING.
"look! sansa's free from joffrey, his mother and all of king's landing! she's going home!" ...and then she's basically sold to the boltons and gets raped by ramsay.
d&d does this to us all the time. softens us up with moments that make us think that maybe things are going to be alright, and then they drop a bomb on us.
