Well without saying anything to spoil the book or TV watchers....


We've now seen the first MAJOR change from the books.


That is a HUGE change.

So long Janos! Thought this was a well paced episode. A little slow for us now being 30% done with the season but storylines progressed well enough that I think things will pick up in the next few weeks.

Any book readers extremely nervous about this Sansa/Ramsey situation? Are they going to incorporate Jeyne Pool's storyline into Sansa's?

I am. But I doubt she's made to go through all of that after what happened to her at King's Landing.

I expect a continued dramatic change in that entire story arc.

Nope, #SansaHeelTurn seems to me that she unlike Jeyne Poole knows that as a Stark she has "power" in the North, she also is no longer the idiot that she was in the early seasons. I see a dramatic shift in her dealings with the Boltons.

No need for me to spoiler tag anything here because I'm only going to speak regarding the show.

So Sansa is to marry that detestable creature Ramsey Bolton?

I hate that sadistic psychopath with a passion.

Someone wanna explain to me in spoilers what's to come next? Is this narrative going to follow the books or are they going to change it up?

Please, someone here help me out with a detailed explanation. I'd much appreciate the sharing of your knowledge lol.

I can't say that I know where it's going but after LittleFinger told Sansa to avenge her family, she went from being against the idea to being onboard. Just a 100% guess but I'm thinking she's going to become the Cersei of the North. She's probably going to undermine the Boltons and return the Starks to power.

As it relates to Winterfell and Sansa they are off the books. By a lot.

Just a 100% guess but I'm thinking she's going to become the Cersei of the North. She's probably going to undermine the Boltons and return the Starks to power.

She could also manipulate the Boltons to go after her real enemies, the Frays and Lannisters. Like Littlefinger said, when the Vale and the North last teamed up they brought down the Tragarens.....The Frays, like the Boltons garner little love and loyalty in the Riverlands, (and Littlefinger is also the lord of Harrenhal.) and Lannisters killed her father amongst other atrocities that were done to Sansa.

Books...

But that power wouldn't help her during the whole "bedding" mess with Theon and Jeyne in the books. You know that Sansa is going to have to go through with the bedding after the wedding, so she's going to be locked in a room somewhere with Ramsay and presumably Theon. Her maturation and the North's power aren't going to save her from Ramsey's craziness in that situation.

You're assuming they will follow the books, the fact that its Sansa not Jeyne is more than enough ammo for me to think the showrunners have something different planed for her.

In the end, I want Ramsey to get his. I hope that happens this season.


Another thing, once old dude was on the chopping block and fessed up that he was afraid it reminded Snow of how he was hiding with the women & children.

Pissed him off so much he went medieval on him. Good to see, plus it let's everyone know he ain't screwing around as the new lord master.

I was never a Jon Snow fan but I came around on him after the Battle at Castle Black. Now Jon Snow is that dude. Calling shots and chopping heads like a boss.

LOL, yes, I am assuming. That was my initial point, and I was wondering if anyone else had that assumption/bad feeling. The bedding scene is going to be intense and creepy, there's no way it won't be.

*** Partial Show Spoilers BEYOND Ep 03 - WARNING ***

Spoiler

I accidentally read part of an article regarding Ramsey doing something so detestable and gross this year that the cast had difficulty filming the scene. That it was supposedly the worst scene thus far in the entire series which is really saying something. Granted it could be to Theon, but after last night's episode I have a bad feeling it'll be Sansa.

Granted Roose would go absolutely nuts on Ramsay if he tortured/raped or even murdered Sansa, especially after the talking-to he gave Ramsay last night.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 5 (aka A Feast for Crows + A Dance with Dragons)

I haven't been this outraged since the Red Wedding. I cannot believe how lucky that bastard is getting to bed Margaery!! **** you, Tommen!

But holy christ that episode was good! All these characters being in the same place, interacting; storylines converging... I can't help but give out a "**** yeah!" while watching.

Most interesting to me:

- Jon Snow. The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. That's 3 of them now all cutting heads like a boss. Still, I wonder if what Daavos told him would make him cut short his time as Lord Commander.

- Welcome home, Lady Stark. The North Remembers. Chills. Still though, that lingering shot on Ramsay's crazy girlfriend(s) makes me think she won't be able to pull off any revenge plot without a little trouble from those ladies, along with the rest of the Boltons. There's also Reek (aka Theon), who seems to be showing cracks at the sight of Winterfell and Sansa.

- Arya is always interesting, but I think it can be safely said she won't let go of being Arya Stark fully by hiding Needle. And perhaps she'll face consequences down the road by pursuing her vendetta eventually.

- Lord Friend Zone making moves to get back into the worst Pokemon trainer's good graces. Volantis looked pretty spiffy; it's a shame Talisa left that. Was also surprised to see the girl from Arrow (in Oliver's HK flashbacks; as well as The Wolverine) playing a Red Priestess.

- So, Tyrion understands Valyrian?

I doubt it. Roose Bolton is married to one of Walder's daughters. This one:



Plus Baelish is the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. I think the Vale, North and Riverlands will be aligned just like in Robert's Rebellion.
