Of course that's what he's gonna use. Haven't you ever heard of Checkov's crossbow?

Huh. If Tyrion marries Sansa next week the purple wedding could theoretically happen before the end of the season.

Yeah, it's difficult to imagine a scene where it turns out that Theon had his junk after all. But still, it was never stated explicitly…

He's nutty that way - witness the way he compliments and derides Stavos in the same breath all the time.

"Robby….ROBBYYYY!!!!!!!!!"

The warg prologue would presumably be there for a reason. But then so would the faceless man one in AFFC.

And she could have prevented all of that by taking the yellow city up on it's generous offer and going to Westros, instead of upending their entire economy and leaving the population mostly dead or starving.

Suppose the letters she's writing her mom are being forwarded to Tywin? Then everyone can be right!

Well, they didn't kill them for that purpose or anything. They just happened to have a lot of horse meat laying around.

@avclub-57c3292a8347be16649e857f6ea3e480:disqus : They know exactly where Robb is, it's a protracted waiting game at this point. But creating a stable puppet government through the Bolton's means alienating most of the Northmen from him, which she achieved simply by marrying him. The Karstark debacle was a windfall…

The Ironborn overextended themselves and have little to do now but wait for the North to get it's act together and come home to slaughter them.

Well, everyone assumed that she had been starved to death when they saw the missing fingers on her corpse but she could have just as easily been flayed.  Probably both.

Don't you mean bouncing wolf skull?

@avclub-d980b15d49101608dc407770f35b1d75:disqus : So dealing the killing blow to Robb was just a spontaneous move?

He's a big Marvel comics fan and wrote ADWD while the Red Hulk thing was going on, wherein a scarlet version of the hulk showed up who was obviously Thunderbolt Ross and everyone figured it out immediately. So in order to restore some mystery before the big reveal later on the author had a scene which made it…

Hodor…and the lords of the underworld!

The plan had likely been for him to marry Sansa since the day he was bought over from the Iron Islands, before Robert showed up and things went downhill for everyone. Theon was just too busy banging random peasant girls to pay any attention to his future wife.

That was in the show too!

I…don't get it. Out of all the things that Ramsey did - a guy that abducted every woman in Winterfell, hunted them down and gangraped them pre and post mortem and that's what bugs you? Him indulging a non-penetrative cuckold fetish on his wedding night?

In three months this will be all we have left, and we'll all be watching it religiously.
