[Reek]

Reek! My name is Reek! It rhymes with weak!

He better get some goddamn redemption. Though, walking in Winterfell during the snows was perfect.

 

[Roose Bolton]

He didn't automatically come good again after Jeyne was raped either, and in that scenario Ramsay made him more of an active participant. I'd say next episode we'll see him crying before the Weirwood trees "Please..let me die as a man, don't let me die as Reek," followed by the famous Old Gods scene.

 

[Reek]

so he's been cut from the rest of the season.

 

[Marvolo]

so he's been cut from the rest of the season.

Huh?

 

[Reek]

Huh?

what Roose said is wishful thinking... a joke about being cut like the rest of the Greyjoys

 

[Marvolo]

Oh gotcha.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Speaking of that, Mel didn't mention Balon. 7 episodes in season 5, and he's still alive so that's got to mean something

 

[Reek]

Yea, noticed that too... Sansa mentioned him as well..

Episode 10 title !!!!

"Foul Stuff"

[Marvolo]

Hmmm...Winterfell survived one fire. Maybe Sansa is thinking too small with that candle. She should just set the castle on fire. "We don't need no water! Let the mother****er burn!"

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

I'm glad sansa got to hear that Jon is lord commander now. maybe that'll give her some hope even if we know what happens next with Jon.

"Honey, where's Jon?"

"Oh, Stannis said they were going camping."

"Oh that's nice! Where's Rickon?"

"****ed if I'd know."

 

[Reek]

what is the purpose of a rickon duck?

 

[Roose Bolton]

Is dentistry considered a dangerous profession in the Muggle world?

 

[Reek]

 

[Huddsy]

One of the worst episodes I can recall... save for the Cersei bit.

 

[Drz]

Stannis is getting dumber by the minute. They've made him too much like Robert.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I loved the attention that was given to the old woman's flayed body, the various shots as Ramsay described it. A flush for the senses.

 

[Victarion]

Taking Selyse and Shireen or marching in the middle of winter?

I liked Sansa putting Ramsay in his place with her "yeah, a bastard legitimized by a bastard."

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I'm starting to care about the show less each episode.

Spoiler

At this point, I just want see episodes 9 and 10 for the Ides of Marsh/Olly and Jon's resurrection.

I'd really like to see Alliser Thorne NOT be part of Jon's assassination. One of the best changes they've done from the book is flesh out Thorne to be more than a jerk to Jon and Sam (losing their internal POV helps). I want to see him react in panic and anger when Jon is stabbed. He loathes Jon but he should be a character who serves the Watch first and foremost and wouldn't condone killing a Lord Commander.

 

[Drz]

Taking Selyse and Shireen

Yeah i wouldn'tm say it was the smartest decision, but i guess he didn't have any spare men to stay at Castle Black or something. Look how easily Gilly was about to be raped.

or marching in the middle of winter?

Well it seems they're aiming to directly assault Winterfell, which i guess is plausible in the tv universe, but the book Winterfell is impossible to assault with brute force alone, especially since all Stannis men are hungry and sellswords.

 

[Greens]

I was pleasantly surprised by this episode.

Even Dorne was pretty good because ****.
