Here's what I hope… Jaime kills Walder Frey.
Here's what I hope… Jaime kills Walder Frey.
Davos is not a seasoned warrior… and Jon has never been portrayed as a head over heart character. I agree that the Sansa thing seems off (and assume it will be addressed). But Davos and Jon behaved in line with their characters.
It had a hell of a Soundtrack.
that's over the course of the last 20 minutes… not the last 20 episodes. But your point is taken
It's just like GoT died with Oberyn Martell… then was re-animated into a Franken-monster type version of itself
At least a skinny post
All true… I would note that we see minutes of battle… I don't think we are to assume it's real time and the whole thing is over in the space of a half hour. But it doesn't do anything to express what the length actually was either.
I'll grant you that the pile grew quickly… but that was the plan for Ramsay… get the battle in place… and repeatedly "loose" arrows into the crowd killing friends and enemies alike to create said wall of corpses… many of whom may have been alive (not so much kicking, but alive) and gotten buried in the mess. There was…
Spin move… spin again… and… Cyclone defence
Battle filming prolly took many hours and she is on child actor schedule… They can't keep her so long and so she was at the parlay, but not the battle. And yes… I would love to have heard her during the parlay… but her resting unimpressed screw face was awesome on it's own
I think that you're correct about it being in character… But, They went in really hard on the foreshadowing with Sansa explaining Ramsay's propecity for games… and they even have Jon state that he wants to make Ramsay mad… "I want him coming at us full tilt"… presumably because Jon KNOWS that would be stupid and…
She has to do and end run around Baelish and talk to Robyn…
she said if Jon died she would have to try… because she doesn't know the Lords will… well… there's a couple thousand corpses… "hey mel… go take a jog out there and see if anyone's special."
Perhaps… but I got the feeling that he, like Theon, was fighting for his sisters title as opposed to his.
Ok Ok… maybe Robb wouldn't have charged. 1 Point for Robb… but… BUT… At least Jon would never make questionable personal decisions that lead to his men betraying him and stabbing him in the belly… WAIT.. Never mind. ;-P This guy falls Bass Ackwards into survival every time…
I don't know where people are getting this idea. She certainly didn't want Rickon to die… the transition was from an emotional girl who would break at the thought of her little brother being hurt, into a calculating woman able to dismiss what she can not change. Rickon was only breathing because Ramsay wanted them to…
But cersie knows he advises Robyn… and he told Cersie that he would bring Sansa to her. Essentially he did here what he told her he would do… ride in and clean up the mess (remember she saw the Bolton's as traitors as well), but now with Bolton defeated the Stark banners are raised and Sansa is not taken captive back…
I figure he thinks control of the vale army and the North is enough to give him KL and I'm sure he's been paying close attention to where other armies are and what the players are up to. I think you're incorrect about his intentions… he fully wants power. My concern isn't that he stepped into the open (he has to…
I don't think Jon wants to be Lord of Winterfell… or King in the North for that matter. Sansa wants it. Unfortunately it looks like she'll have to Mary Littlefinger and technically He'll get it…
I'd say you have a bigger issue with the writing of Ramsay than the reading of Ramsay… I thought the actor was fantastic… the character lacked depth.. and motivation… and complexity… I don't know how you would go about acting that with the character arc and lines he was given.
