Won't be surprised if those men are working for house Bolton

Yeah has to be, for screwing over Winterfell.

Almost feel sorry for him at this point. Can't wait until I see how he's holding up next week.

Can't tell whose situation is worse in terms of body parts Theon or Jaime.

Tricky one. I'd have said theon if Jamie lost his bad hand, but he lost his sword hand and even without having to fight, imagine your storng hand not being there.

Then again, not having your penis would be mentally horrific.

Jamie is a genius though. Theon is nothing.

Theon is just a little shit. But his fate is seriously *bleep* up. Wait and watch.

Disagree. Sansa makes some really screwed up choices, Ned made some really screwed up choices, Bran climbed the tower when he shouldn't have. All of them are a bunch of GOBs. They always make huge mistakes.

Am I the only one that thinks the Theon arc is being drawn out a little too much with the sadistic torture? Getting rather old honestly.

I am not even sure why he is that important either. Agree with you on that.

Give more time to Tyrion's Squire lol

Well I won't give spoilers from the book, but this is probably the one arc that I don't think the show got particularly right. Feels a bit forced, and a bit predictable. That can be dangerous for show that prides itself on the unpredictable.

It feels a bit forced because it didn't happen in the books. We only found Theon two books from now, seeing the aftermath of all this, rather than watching it as it happens. I understand why they had to do it differently, but now they need to maintain a story arc over the course of 3-4 seasons without anything really changing in it (unless they find a new direction to take things or switch up the timeline a little bit). I assume they'll do the latter, but in the meantime I agree it feels far too stretched out.

I think a large portion of the show is the hate for Joffrey, and well lets be honest, we know what happens there. I think they are setting the bastard up as the next person you completely hate (like rage hate) on the show.

King Robert's bastard ?

I have HBO (so I use HBOgo often) and I didn't realized I could watch all of Game of Thrones.

I've never seen any episode at all not even previews. I was careful in posting in this thread in case, but I am proud to say that I will finally take the time and watch this show that seems to be hugely popular among most people

I think that he might be the Gollum of Ice and Fire. Not sure though.

I also dislike Cathelyn Stark a lot. She sucks.

Motogp. Stop posting spoilers.

Use the spoiler tag please.

Seriously man I told you this would happen, all it takes is one spoiler. Let's make a book-free thread ffs.

Not complaining about anybody who's posting spoilers btw, was bound to happen.

Also Dante have you finished Storm Of Swords? More mindblowing stuff happens just wait

Not yet , but it's evident , all the stories of the characters take amazing turns and twists. This book can't stop being awesome and thrilling. I have a bit less than 200 pages left and i think i will be finishing it by tonight , probably.
