Theon and his sister's ironborn troops join Jon Snow and the wildlings and battle for Winterfell.
Theon is the one who gets to take care of Ramsey? Or Theon and Sansa.
Roose died with a knife through the heart from a traitor, his son. that was kind of fitting. But, Ramsey can't die in battle or quick. The Starks have some payback due. [Reply]
I'm curious as to what we can expect from Jon Snow now. Will he be the same guy? Is he now some kind of Gandalf the White character? Will he age normally and stuff, and be a normal human? It seemed like that one guy who had been resurrected many times was basically normal. Thought I read somewhere that in the books Caitlin came back and stayed decomposed. Will Jon smell like a guy that's been dead for a while? [Reply]

That present will be Reek. I hope that doesn't happen, because it will be ugly.
The only thing that would make that a good storyline would be if Reek somehow gets the upper hand on Ramsay and it becomes payback time.
If that does happen...then I think you'll see Theon stand his ground and die because of it. He's ready to die. He just had to get Sansa free to make up for all of the shit he did. [Reply]

I have to agree; I can't imagine the show will reveal him to be a Targaryen. They made a point of him mentioning that dragons are very intelligent, maybe even moreso than humans. Plus, the whole trust angle and them not eating him/one of the dragons lowering its head to allow him to unchain its neck. That as well as an additional scene or two of him being around them and not becoming charred dwarf would really be all they need to make it work.
It'll be interesting to see how much larger Drogon is than the other two. He was always going to be the largest, but he's been free for years now, I think, while they've been chained up in a dungeon. [Reply]

And in true GoT fashion, they've managed to do something I thought wouldn't ever be possible: I'm rooting for Cersei. The one character who I've always found to be utterly reprehensible and without redeeming quality (besides the love of her children) has managed to be pitted against a character I hate so much (the High Sparrow), that I'm actually rooting for her and her family.
Of course, I'm sure a few scenes where she's an utter gunt to Margaery and does some really stupid shit in poor attempts to play the game of thrones will restore my hatred of the queen mother.
The actress playing Cercei has tried very hard to make her if not entirely likeable, at least relate-able and somewhat sympathetic.
Unfortunately, she has succeeded to some extent. :-) [Reply]

If they had not shown Davos/Mellisandre being in the same place where Jon Snow was going to die, that would have made it more believable.
That is exactly my point. Everyone that knew he would have been revived would've been dying to get to the next season to see what is next. They decided to leave it with Snow dead, which was a bad choice, IMO [Reply]

Why is that unfortunate? That's compelling TV. [Reply]

Im curious to see if Jon becomes a believer in the Lord of Light. His character never came across as a religious one, at least not in the show. But now that he's been rez'd, how can he ignore that, and how will it change Jon? He pretty much has to become a believer now, and a very strong believer. If he's a believer in the Lord of Light, then what role will Melisandre play for Jon Snow?
And Ramsay is the best fucking villain ever. I love Ramsay. When he stabbed his old man, for a second there i thought it was Ramsay that was stabbed. Im sure that was intentional. I was like "NOOOOOO!" and then they panned back and it was Ramsay stabbing his dad. I breathed a sigh of relief. [Reply]

Possibly. Because I detest Cercei completely in the books, I'm not very keen to do much more than hate her in the TV series. And her portrayal is making that somewhat difficult. :-) [Reply]
