There's only so many shocks a poor heart can take! Although, if I'm certain of anything, it's that I have absolutely no fricking clue what's going to happen in this show. Just no way to tell at all. The crazier it seems, probably the more likely that it's true.
Speaking of Roose and Ramsey, I did read some interesting speculation earlier, that instead of being Roose Bolton's bastard Ramsey was actually the bastard of Brandon Stark and Lady Barbery. Ned refused to recognize him or make her a Stark so she pawned him off on her sister and Roose. Lady Barbery was the pregnant lady asking for vengeance in front of the heart tree. Not sure how that one would play out, though since they never introduced her in the show.
Doubt it. George has said that while Brandon might have a lot of little Snows running about, he's also said we're not going to meet a bastard son of his any time soon. It's in an SSM somewhere.
Now that you mention it, wasn't there an SSM that stated that Brandon died before he could father any sons, period? I need to look that up.
It just was an entertaining take, that I had not heard mentioned before. Besides. I'm not sure how much influence SSMs have on the show. Hell, for that matter, I'm just not sure how much influence the actual books have on the show interpretation these days.
Why must I always be the isle of crazy alone in an ocean of sensibility? The should to everybody else’s shouldn’t? The I-will to their better-nots?
SlyWren, poor Walda. I really hope Roose has Ramsay's number and not the other way around.
I'd rather love it if Walda killed Ramsay. She seemed reasonably pleasant, if not overly burdened with intellect. If she took him out, I'd stand up and cheer.
We're seeing the Karstarks there next season... if Rickon accidentally got into their hands D&D could call back the death of Rickard Karstark as them getting even with Robb...
But that might be an interesting adaptation choice...
I was going to like the post, but I'm not sure "like" is the right phrase.
They did make us watch Shireen--which I absolutely saw coming when I read the prologue to Clash. Reckon as dead. . . I can't think of anything in the books to show that.
But if D&D need to get Rickon off the payroll, they might do this. Still, would seem pointless. The Boltons have given the North plenty of reasons to kill them all. Killing Rickon would be. . .overkill.
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.

Walda poisoning Ramsay like Domeric was would be ironic.
Darkstar will be the next Vulture King.
Craster has 19 daughters and there are 19 castles on the Wall, coincidence I think not!

Damn! I need to start paying more attention to the way you write and start taking lessons. Somehow you even find a way to make being dumb sound appealing.
In the books, Ellaria doesn't advocate war against the Lannisters, much less exacting revenge by harming Myrcella. In fact, she urges against war, because she is worried the cycle of revenge will continue until even her youngest daughters are eventually consumed by it. (from gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Ellaria_Sand)
Ellaria's a bastard herself. No way she takes over Dorne. I think they're mixing Arianna's story into Ellaria. At least with Arianna, the story arc would make some sense.

Yup. I really don't understand why they would cut Arianne for the Ellaria pulp. Arianne represents the plausibly ambitious and empowered female the show has attempted with their ridiculous Kill Bill caricatures.
Apparently, it was more important for them to tie the plot to vengeance for Oberyn (by exterminating his family LOL) than anything in the books. Arianne could have reminded viewers about Beggar King Viserys, and Dorne's ties to Dany and House Targaryen. Characters slightly more important than Oberyn.
"I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers."

I think that one might be lifted straight from Jane Austen. So, you might do better to just read Emma.
I can't think of anything in the books pointing to Ellaria and the Sand Snakes staging a coup in Dorne, but didn't seem to stop anyone.
Well, that's just because you lack imagination, silly. The killing of Waymar is obviously a very subtle hint--he was stabbed. So was Doran. Weimar was killed by warriors who seem terrifying. Doran was killed by warrior wannabes who seem ridiculous. One happened in the North. the other in the South. One in the snow. The other in sand. It's all right there!!!

All true. But if all they think they need is the war, they got it. So. . . mission accomplished???

Maybe in some alternate reality. Hard to see the bannermen rallying behind the bastard paramour that exterminated their lord's house.

But if the guards didn't stop her, doesn't that clearly mean the Yellow Men will fight for the Fighting Fairy Bastards?

Okay--I'm putting the promo here: Ned says "how it ends."
And that makes me very happy for no good reason.
