I think of all the characters on this show and their various shades of grey, I hate the Boltons the most now that Joffrey is toast. There is no grey there, no machinations, no scheming -- just psychotic, blood lust. I am anxiously awaiting their gruesome deaths. I'm right there with you. Please let Brienne show up and eff them all up then run to safety with Sansa. I'm sure she's going to cross paths with Stannis sooner or later, but let her kill the Boltons first. And turn Pod into an ass-kicker. I enjoy them together. They are both so earnest in their own ways.

Since I cannot stand Alfie Allen I actually like Ramsey Snow-Bolton. I'll show myself out...

My husband is having a hard time with how much they have diverted from the books this season. When Jaime said he was going to Dorn, I thought MrB was going to have a fit.

I for one am thrilled at all the fat trimming the show is doing. Books 4 & 5 are downright ponderous. GRRM introduces even more characters and new storylines, when the existing ones are more than sufficient. And what may work in a book doesn't always work on a show. By Season 5, viewers have an investment in seeing Sansa, Jaime, and so on, and the show wants their core actors to be on screen acting.

On the flip side of my feelings for the Boltons (hate them! hate them!), I love Brienne. She is absolutely my favorite character and her story about Renley made me sad.

I have no heartburn with the show ditching the entire Euron/Victarion/reaving snoozefest, and I think the producers can and will just eliminate the entire Young Griff plotline, as they appear to have done with Arianne Martell (guess the Sand Snakes will stand in). Re: Sansa's return to Winterfell? You in danger, gurl......I hate, hate, hate Ramsay Snow Bolton and wish furiously for a severe and just reckoning for him. TC time: The sick part of me, however, whilst aware of Roose Bolton's treacherous nature, still finds Lord Bolton (or at least the actor who plays him) rather dishy. I think it's his voice which really sends me. Woof.

My thoughts (SPOILERS, LIEKOMGOBVIOUSLY) . . . . . 1. Re the Margaery/Tommen wedding night scene: am I now on an FBI watchlist after viewing that? Just wondering.
2. Tyrion & Jorah: I think he's taking him to Dany. Jorah would do anything to get back in her good graces, and there's nothing better than a potentially headless Lannister to make that happen. Taking him back to Cersei is not only too obvious, but it's a little TOO big of a departure from the books to take him back to Cersei and Tyrion/Dinklage is a fan favorite, so...
3. Re: Sansa and Ramsay. I think she is in for a world of hurt, but I seriously don't see her reverting to the helpless damsel in distress she was in the first two seasons. She will not be Jeyne Poole'd because she has come too far and learned too much to be a victim. I can see her at this point enduring whatever abuse Ramsay dishes out while plotting to take back her home and destroy the Boltons alongside anyone who utters "the North remembers." TL;DR: I will be very surprised if Michael McElhatton and Iwain Rheon have a job next season.

I think the actor who plays Tommen is 16; in the book I think Margery is supposed to be 16 and Tommen is 9, which is even worse.
Every time I see Ramsay Snow Bolton, I feel like laughing because the actor looks A LOT like Sean Astin, or someone who could have played a hobbit in Lord of the Rings.

Stannis is so dead. They're making him way too sympathetic and nice this season to survive TV's oldest rule. And I bet it's going to be Brienne who'll kill him, finally avenging Renly. Stannis won't enter Winterfell alive. Sucks for Sansa but I haven't given up hope that she'll for once be able to save herself from a nasty situation.
