I give up. Someone posts a question about why a scene happened the way it did, I try to be helpful and give a bit of background information being mindful of not giving any future events away, and still get snapped at for even daring to mention the word "book". It's like watching a movie you've seen before with a friend that hasn't, and they start asking questions like "Why did that happen?" or "Who is that?" and then bitch at you for giving them the answers
Next time just say you got your info from a Youtube video and you'll be fine.

Which lead to more questions, when clearly show watchers aren't suppose to know what happened to Winterfell exactly yet or what's happening with Theon.
I just really hope no one asks who Tywin is sending letters to...

Just like Theon, there's no way they wont be having a season without Tyrion. I'm surprised they went an entire season without Barristan.
I find it kind of interesting in the Show thread that Daradon is going on about the Pod and Ramsay plot point - 2 points totally created for the show. We can't really give him definitive answers about why the 4 guys were killed because we don't know anything more than he does.
Perhaps we do need a crossover thread - someplace where TV watchers are free to ask questions. Then we can put answers (for what we know) in spoiler tags. People who want a pure experience can stay in the TV thread.

I think the answer to why those four guys were killed is pretty simple, the ####### has no cares for others lives, he is just a sick twisted frack.
He killed them to try and show Theon he was loyal to him, and then just blamed the deaths on Theon so he will be tortured even harder. He is just doing it to get kicks and torture/break down the bugger to replace his precious Reek.

They seem to be totally re-writing the Ser Dontos plotline. How will Sansa end up int he Eyrie?
Yeah that was weird. He was on last season's premiere episode and nothing since. Definitely thought they'd be going that way, but he's really not alllll that important so I'm sure it will work if they choose to go without him.
I love watching Daradon trying to rationalize the actions and motives of Ramsay Bolton. It proves the directors have done a great job of portraying this guy as a psycho.. people are starting to see he is a prick, but they still think he has some kind of sensible motive behind it all.

I'm not a big fan of Ramsay in the books. GRRM is just trying too hard to make him the spawn of evil. He's an over-the-top ultra villain. The other bad guys were much better, they had motivations and insecurities that you could associate with to understand their villainy. Ramsay's just a comic book, no depth at all.
In a world where everyone is varying shades of grey, it's nice to have some pure evil to rail against. It's kind of needed IMO, especially after Joffery died.

And with Tywin dead, not many Lannisters left to hate.
That was one of the most true to book episodes I've seen. Pretty cool to see so many lines delivered exactly as they're written, and all the actors nailing their roles perfectly.
I really enjoyed that Shireen was singing the Patchface songs. But she has blonde hair? Stannis' claim for Joffrey's illegitimacy then is a bit flimsy.

Only in the show.
In the book it is only when Baratheon weds Lannister that the black comes before anything else.
I know, still seems like a bit of an oversight. Although it wasn't Stannis in the show who figured it out first like he did in the books.

Selyse is a Florent.
It's every single one of Robert's #######s that have black hair as well though.
Someone could have planted the seed with Stannis or maybe he just figured Jaime was a bit too close. But if you're going to go and investigate your nephew because he has blonde hair, you probably wouldn't think too much of it if your own daughter has blonde hair. Again, show Stannis wasn't the first to figure it out though he didn't seem to worried about the evidence.
