Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

I like Sansa. She used to be one of my least favourite characters.

I also like Ramsey. Anyone think he would ever betray his dad in the future? Didn't think I'd ever be this intrigued with what Roose is up to in his storylines.

I think Sansa will have a mean streak now. We've seen her metamorphosis, so to speak, colluding in S4 with Baelish. I think she'll be a whisperer in Ramsey's ear trying to off his stepmum's unborn child or something.

I see it the other way, she seems creeped out by him but we saw glimpses of her looking like she might be learning to use people. Though this season she seems to have gone backwards a little, but she's probably going to surprise us.

Yeah, I feel that Arya and Sansa are two of the characters that have undergone the biggest 180s (aside from Daenerys and Jon Snow) from the 1st episode until now. Will be very interesting should their paths ever cross. Seems inevitable that'll happen eventually, seeing that they along with Daenerys are the three females in GoT that I can't see getting killed off anytime soon. Cersei seems much more vulnerable than ever, and it just seems like Margaery is on thin ice.

Ramsey is a huge wildcard who doesn't seem able to be controlled by anyone, including Roose Bolton. Hope he sticks around for a while, but history has shown that these characters don't typically last very long.
I'd be more than a little pissed if that bitch Theon was the one to kill Ramsey. Unless it was done in an extremely creative/spectacular fashion.
 
The love for Stannis... wtf.

he killed his brother in the most cnutish ways you can possible imagine.

hopefully big woman will decapitate him.
 
One person I was hoping would make a reappearance is Gendry (Snow/Baratheon) - are we meant to assume he's simply disappeared / died? I probably need to rewatch season 2/3 (can't remember which) to remind myself who helped him escape.

Jorah's return is bit unexpected and shakes things a bit which opens even more occasions for Tyrion's brilliant dialogues. Big yay to that ! Some really good camera shots while they were sailing... a little bit of CG but still a fine production.

Is Ramsey the new Joffrey ? Lucky Sansa... North and Daenerys are getting stronger. Lannisters are fecked without the little genius.

Mmm... it was controversial, but not that much scummier than the little bro who used his popularity and help from the Tyrells to take his brother's bannermen and usurp Stannis.

I can picture far worse ways to die than via a shadow baby that comes out of Carice Van Houten's snatch, personally.
 
I think Roose will be killed off by Stannis' attack, which will effectively take the shackles off Ramsey. He will go utterly mental without his father figure to rein him in.

Disappointed by Sansa - I thought after the S4 conclusion with Littlefinger, she had really 'turned a new leaf' so to speak, and was going to become the sneaky conniving bitch that we all expected of her. But so far this season (which we are now halfway through) she has just reverted to the old her it seems.

Fully expected what happened with Mormont, there was no reason for that entire engagement and scene if one of the characters didnt get screwed over, and Tyrion is still untouchable even by G.R.R.M standards at this point I think, he is just too important and too good a character.

I want to see more of Dorne and the Sand Snakes, personally.

A couple of years or so, finally the opportunity presented itself. They're a bit alike personality wise, the Sams, although this one is a bit of a bookworm. I have nothing against Sam, it's the bastard Jon Snow I want dead.

Anyhow, I wonder what happened to the kids and Hodor in that cave. Haven't seen them in a while.
 
In regards to the sexy witch, does she have any actual motive or purpose yet? She just seems to keep harping on about that silly God of light while whapping her baps out for everyone.

The Rod Hull and Emu show would have been so different if Grotbags was of a similar ilk.
 
Remind me: do the Boltons know the two Stark kids are alive? They sent your man Locke to get them or kill them or something, didn't they?

Still rowing. I can't wait to see how absolutely jacked his back is going to be.

I think people like him because he is nice to Jon Snow and offered Snow to take over Winterfell again. Everyone likes the Starks. I think he is a decent character but that battle for the North wont be as easy as he thinks.
 
I DONT READ THE BOOKS. But this is what I think might happen.

Stannis goes into the battle and starts losing because the Boltons have something up their sleeve. Towards the end Jon Snow comes in with his wildling army to save Stannis and takes over Winterfell. Maybe he then lets Sansa take over and returns to the Wall?

I think that's what the majority in here is expecting to happen (including me).

Hopefully R.R. surprise us.
 
I've read the books but I can't remember for the life of me what happens next. I've just binge-watched about 8 episodes over the last few days to catch up, having stopped watching for a while due to being traumatised by the Oberyn/Gregor Clegane scene in season 4.

Where have the Irish been hiding Michael McElhatton? Anyone seen him on stage? He's got such a great voice.

Definitely thought the same thing. He has a such a presence, even when he's not speaking and he's just in a scene and they get a shot of him, I'm always like "Damn".

Anyone else think Brienne's story is boring. It's so dry, there's just no substance in her story. Podrick is an even more interesting character than her. And honestly who cares about an oath you made to some queen, she's dead now, go home Brienne.

Dany marrying is interesting as well. But I feel like the marriage won't take place. Something crazy will happen.

Part of the intrigue in earlier seasons was the possibility of the Stark siblings actually running into each other. This season, the probability of that happening looks more remote than ever. Could also care less about these religious, hippy cults like the Sparrows and Sons of Harpy nonsense. Doesn't interest me at all. Arya's story has completely stalled. You'd figure a season without Bran would be an improvement but unfortunately, no. Need those crazy 8th and 9th episodes to turn this shit around.

I disagree. The sparrows are very interesting. They could easily take the city in the name of religion.

Yeah agree. I cant tell if it is just her character that is incredibly dull, or bad acting?

No, podrick sucks and needs to be killed.
 
She's just waiting around to help Sansa now isn't she. There's really no need to go back to her and Pod during an episode other than to remind us that she's still about. Maybe she'll get involved when Stannis arrives on the scene.

But yeah, quite a boring character arc.

His brother ignored Stannis' claim to the throne as the elder brother, and raised an army to fight him. If Renly hadnt been such a gimp, Stannis would be king already.

The brother who completely fecked him over. It might not have been a pretty way to kill someone, but Renly's claim to the throne was ridiculous and he should've supported Stannis' claim. Stannis had no chance to win against Renly's army so that was the only way. Stannis is pretty dour and uncompromising but I believe he will only resort to such measures if he's been wronged and has no other alternative. He strikes me as a just person.

Now he's more or less crossing over to the good side (from the viewer's perspective) and he's showing a softer side with his daughter, so it's no wonder he's getting more sympathy. I think he's turned into a brilliant character. He's not a forgiving sort but if you don't cross him he won't cross you, and that's a rarity in Westeros.
