[Sheb]

He has never been legitimized because Ned was afraid of the relation penalty with his wife. At this point, unless some weird succession give Aria a title somewhere, House Stark is fucked.

[scriver]

Unless the Bolton Bastard is an idiot and makes his wife, that'll hate his cheating guts in an event or two, spymaster

[Xantalos]

That assumes he's not gonna Reek her.

That assumes he's not gonna Reek her.

Well, tonight he didn't exactly Reek her, but...

[Xantalos]

Eh, that's pretty standard marriage practice for medieval times.
Well, apart from

They've actually toned Ramsay down quite a bit, to be honest.

Don't forget though, Arya is being tutored by Braavosi with a foreign religion. When she comes back to rule the Norf, she is going to have SO MANY RELATIONS PENALTIES!

Ah, but she will also get access to overpowered Light Infantry cultural retinues!
And besides, think of all that martial, intrigue, and fighting ability. I say, give it 100 years, and all of the North will be Bravosi.

As for the Boltons, I predict that they all will die after a long series of suspicious accidents involving abandoned inns filled with manure suddenly exploding.
It's really odd that Ramsay isn't dead yet, I think it's clear that even their courtiers and servants are at low enough relations to allow for invite to plot.

Now, in all honesty, I actually think that Ramsay's death is not far away. It's pretty dangerous to predict what George RR is going to write next, but the massive psychopaths generally tend to go in messy ways. I wonder what kinds of ambitions for the future Roose Bolton has. A child of Sansa would be a pretty legitimate ruler of the North, but once that is done with, is there any need for him to have his maniac bastard around any longer?

[Loud Whispers]

Just wait until faceless men hashashination events begin firing and everyone all falls down... At any rate, I'm not sure how powerful OP light infantry units are vs "big fucking swords." If you want OP, don't even get me started on muh dragons!

And really, while the Boltons are hated sure... That high intrigue has got to count for something.

Admittedly, Sansa also has high intrigue. And Ramsay is deliberately annoying his high intrigue wife.

Such dynasties tend to be rather short lived.

Ramsey went from seeming like a torture-phile......to be kind of goon. Seriously, that whole scene in the dining hall was both funny/awkward, and Ramsey came off looking rather derpy. For a guy that seemed scary as fuck the last season, this season he seems like a derpier character.

[Loud Whispers]

Is that more to do with him not being a snow anymore? Or is it just that his genuinely cruel moments are all off screen now?

He did flay that one bloke for not paying his taxes. Should have at least shown the flay tax.

Ramsay's actor though, loved him in misfits - he can make weird, terrifying and hilarious.

The dwarf lives until we find a cock merchant

No idea what happened in the rest of that episode. My eyes were covered in laughter tears for the duration of it

[ChairmanPoo]

It's even more funny when you realize the brick joke nature of the thing

It was TYRION who started to say that a dwarf's cock gave good luck back in the whorehouse in Pentosh in the episode he was kidnapped

[Loud Whispers]

MIRANDA BTFO

SANSA TOO STRONK

[nenjin]

She seems like a perfect match for Ramsey.

Is that more to do with him not being a snow anymore? Or is it just that his genuinely cruel moments are all off screen now?

He seems almost manically happy now. Like before his cruelty was measured and cold, cool even. Add that manically happy demeanor to it and he almost seems like a cruel goofball now. I found him genuinely unsettling prior to this season. Now, I just find him creepy with that smile, those eyes and that weirdly upbeat cruelty.

[Loud Whispers]

I think the ending scene to this week's episode describes his change in cruelty perfectly.

[THEON'S INTERNAL SCREAMING INTENSIFIES]

He aint even got to flay to make em pay no more

*EDIT
This show has made some really likeable incestuous child cripplers, murderers, murder-rapists, machiavel-murder-mindrapists, fundamentalist murder-antirapists and now it's making me like slavers too.
God dammit GoT.
I should not be sympathizing with the woes of slavers and their inability to find cock merchants.

**EDIT

Bronn was injured by one of Oberyn's bastard daughters. In other words, he was bitten by a sand snake.

Chance that aforementioned blade was poisoned, considering the Dornish reputation for poison AND Oberyn's especial propensity for poison: Very high.

Muh bronn, don't kill muh bronn

Also loving that romeo and juliet shit they're pulling in the water garden. Fitting for GoT too, considering the high mortality rate of that play.
