Gnomicide Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Ramsey's great, isn't he? I hope they don't kill him off for some time yet. My House Bolton flag is on its way from the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had similar thoughts. Agreed, that was some episode!!! Glad Jon Snow coming back had some suspense, I did really think that might be it for him after they all left the room or something crap like his mind would be in Ghost. Valar Morghulis will come to fruition for the Iron Born I think! Ramsay really is a total maniac, I hope Jon Snow gives him what for now!!

The Ghost Of Eddie Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 They need to keep Ramsey alive. He is too brilliant of a character to cast off. The show needs someone like him who is pure evil and completely batshit crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a mad dog and there's really only so many things the show can do with that, especially now that they seem to be focusing on him so much as the major villain of the show. (Tbf, feeling quite smug that I called it that Roose legitimising Ramsay would come back to bite him) I always thought Littlefinger was one of the show's best villains and I really hope they don't sideline him now.

Or Roose himself for that matter. Cold, calculating, all business, even (especially) when doing the most awful things. Ramsey, and Joffrey before him, can become a bit one note. What outrageous thing are they going to do this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that made him a great character was that you got the impression that he'd actually be a very effective, albeit incredibly ruthless, warden of the north. He was cold and cruel but also a very capable administrator. Whereas it's now only a matter of time before the north rallies against Ramsay.

It'd be weird if he never comes fully into play again, there's an argument to be made that pretty much everything that's happened in the show has been the result of the behind the scenes power struggle between him and Varys.

windy_miller Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Can someone remind me what has happened to Littlefinger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Agree with what's being said here. Ramsey's good but he's becoming a one note cartoon villain. He works well doing his thing under someone else's supervision but I'm not sure he has the depth to carry it on his own. I assume Littlefinger is laying low somewhere in case someone pieces his role in pretty much everything bad that's happened in Westeros together. That or he's busy having elocution lessons to fix his weird accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 pretty good episode. was glad to see that little shit kid hang! biggest thing to happen other than Jon coming back was probably the return of Rickon and Osha who i'd kind of forgotten all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunique Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Rickon's return puts a new spin on Ramsey's story I think. But mostly - yaaaaah, BADASS ARYA is BACK! and Jon Snur's bum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunique Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I do think they could do with cutting down on how many strands they visit each week though. It's difficult to follow on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Very much a scene setting episode tonight, manoeuvring the key players into position for later. Jon will end up heading off to Winterfell to take on Ramsey, with the added edge of Rickon being there (anyone else hoping Ramsey goes full Reek on him?) Cersei and Jamie are seeing their power and influence greatly reduced. They'll do something drastic soon either as an act of vengeance or to reclaim their position. Branns's visions are setting up a revelation so obvious Tim Peake can see it from where he is. Dany is another place she'll need rescuing from. Arya has been doing the same boring shit for what feels like forever. Tyrion's just being Tyrion. All shaping up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunique Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 While I don't "get" how Arya's story fits in I'm working on the basis that it will all be revealed eventually. I can't think of too many wasted storylines so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary1979666 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The Arya stuff is very frustrating - was done so much better in the books (I.e. more going on) and the TV version has dragged it out so much! Glad they didn't over do Jon's return - not completely changed, but not quite himself. The gallows set up seemed over-complicated though!!
