I hadn't watched a single episode until December of 2014. When I finally watched the first episode, I finished the first four seasons within three weeks. I was hooked. It's a roller coaster, man. At times you're gonna wanna say fuck it and quit watching out of anger, but you can't make yourself look away. [Reply]

That prologue had me hooked. For the longest time, I struggled to follow what the whole point of the show was (I didn't read the books until after the second season), but that intro with the White Walkers haunted me. I have been dying to see what they do since. [Reply]
I doubt it. He doesn't know that Ramsay has Rickon. His plan was always to invade the North. That is why he gave Sansa to the Boltons. So if Ramsay marries a traitor, he is also a traitor and Baelish is given free reign to bring the army of the Vale to take over the North. He played Roose like a fiddle.
Littlefinger usually plays a much more subtle game than that. [Reply]
How'd he so quickly find out that Ramsey has Rickon, and get a Bolton man/Stamp to deliver the letter? And know what's happened with Ramsey and Sansa? [Reply]

Why would he have to know that Ramsay has Rickon? He knows that Sansa has escaped and more than likely is going to go looking for Jon. He can claim that Ramsay has Rickon because Jon doesn't know where Rickon is....and Sansa now knows that Rickon is alive because Theon told her that he didn't have them killed. Baelish knows that he has to give a good enough reason to have Snow and Sansa try and take back Winterfell. Without putting Rickon in there.....he has no way to get them to try and take it back. Yeah it was their home....but Snow is smart enough to know that he doesn't have the numbers to take it. [Reply]

Everybody thinks that Bran and Rickon are dead. Jon only found out that they are alive from Sansa. Only a few people know otherwise. Littlefinger probably doesn't know. Putting that in a letter would just tip off that someone is trying to manipulate him.
Makes much more sense for Ramsay as the author. Considering the focus on Jon being a bastard and all. Not something I think Baelish would harp on. [Reply]
