I wonder how much this dude paid for a ticket to a band he would be seeing for the first time?  I mean, shit, I don't have to see a band live to have heard some songs, maybe picked up an album… it's not like this was an open mic night deal.

This is commonly referred to as "R+L=J" in the fandom.  You are hardly alone in holding this theory.

The Torture Guy is Ramsay Bolton, the "Bastard of Bolton" that Roose Bolton told Robb Stark he was going to send to recapture Winterfell, after they learned that the Greyjoys had sacked it.

The Bastard of Bolton is on no one's side but his own.  He's kind of a sick fuck like that.

Not so much a clever thought, but I would like to just point out that you must be a fucking imbecile.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it.  Theon's the prisoner of the Bastard of Bolton, who is just a fundamentally fucked-up dude.

… yes.

Like a goddamn Hodor!

He got stabbed in the back and then thrown off a thing from a very great height, if I remember correctly.  There's not much chance of surviving that without some supernatural agency.

Not necessarily a lie, just not necessarily in the way people interpret the line.

Thing is, to really know anything about the Old Gods, you'd have to have been born and raised in the North, Winterfell at least if not North of the Wall, or have traveled really extensively.  If you're from anywhere else in Westeros, the Seven Gods is the default religion, with this whole Lord of Light being an…

That's… not going to happen.

Quarrel. Quarrel through the gut.

^ This is kinda a spoiler.

It sounds like your friend doesn't have an original thought in his head, to be honest.

If you've never read the book you're… possibly prescient.  Clairvoyant.  Something like that.

Not really sure that's even possible in this case.  Fiction is heavily influenced by the beliefs, religious, political and otherwise, of its creator.  It's one thing if the author of a work also gets busted for DUI or shoplifting or some similar crime that evidences a lack of judgement, but not if the artist espouses…

Guess this dude will not, in fact, learn How the Gods Kill.

Sorta.  If you haven't been paying attention, Random Torture Guy is Roose Bolton's bastard, Ramsay, who is hanging out with Robb Stark, and is the guy who Roose sent to recapture Winterfell from the Greyjoys after Robb heard that it had been taken.  This has been pretty obvious from the get-go of Theon's capture. …

I don't get the Sansa hate, either.  She's the character I feel the worst for, probably because she's the most "normal" character I can identify with from a modern perspective.  Yeah, she's from a relatively wealthy, noble family, which I know no one from IRL, but the character is 16 in the show, and Sophie Turner's…
