Michelle Fairley was fantastic portraying Cat's final moments. She was dead before the knife even touched her throat. Chills, man.

That said, I've heard of many people who felt like you, me included (I heard vague spoilers and going knowing that multiple characters would die, I was mainly relieved it wasn't Arya, or Tyrion, or Sansa, or Dany, or ...-) Yes, seeing Cat's grief was heartbreaking and Robb's and Talisa's deaths were shocking and brutal, but overall, they were not the most essential characters.

I think the reason why the Red Wedding has such an impact for many people is the suddenness of it, most readers/viewers don't see it coming, and that you see characters die that you don't expect to die this abruptly (kinda like when Ned dies in the beginning). Like the Starks or not, but they're the "good guys", they are easy to root for, and seeing them get unceremoniously slaughtered like that is scarring. Most expect a character like Robb to somehow go out heroically during a battle or something, not like he does at the RW. That what makes it such a gut punch.

Sorry for the rambling, but I think the Red Wedding is a great bit of writing, both in the build-up and the execution.

Everything you've said is pretty much on point. I don't think it'd be unexpected for Robb to die, but the manner in which Robb died is a pretty big shock. Especially when you take into account that in universe it's considered particularly horrible to murder people when they are your guests and should be protected by that society's rules.

I think a lot of television viewers were just shocked, regardless of how they felt about the characters.
