re: GoT Season 5, Episode 9 Predictions Thread (Hodors Only)

My holy shite prediction is that Tommen is executed along with Cersei, Margaery and Loras.

Idk about executed, but I was about to say with Cersei locked up and Jamie gone, Tommen's got no protection left. With the Lannister family in shambles, you know someone is looking to take advantage.

House Stark - Sansa is still my least favorite character/storyline so who cares

---

Littlefinger told Sansa to make Ramsay hers. Ramsay is brutal and sadistic, but insecure, and now his position as heir is in doubt.

After Theon told Sansa what Ramsay did to him, she said, basically: "Good. I would have done that to you too, in revenge for my family". Afterall, until the torture got too much, most of us viewers approved of Theon getting what he deserved, after screwing the Starks over.
And Sansa showed some deceptiveness and guile while aiding Littlefinger in the Veil, so her character is maturing and developing.

I could see Sansa manipulating Ramsay away from Roose...

"You did something horrible, to a horrible person. Thank you"
"Roose Bolton killed my mother and brother, but you weren't involved with that"
"Roose Bolton promised my family, only to betray that promise when something better came along. Now he's promised you, and -see?- something better, a 'trueblood' heir, is coming along"

The story arc would take awhile, but I could see it beginning. Ramsay does talk with her some, and if she doesn't cower, but rather, talk to him, he's vulnerable and out of his element. She can turn him, I think.

This sounds like a job for Littlefinger

And, I don't think Jon Snow dies, but he's definitely not going to be welcomed with open arms back at the wall...

I think the actor that plays Ramsay is great...but I am tired of his almost superhuman evil abilities. I would like to see something go wrong for him.

Ramsay is physically safe for awhile now, because the handwriting's on the wall for him.

Roose continues to ignore him at times, making him feel insecure. Sansa has told him that as a bastard, he will lose his place. However, Sansa is a true-blooded Stark, and her husband would be legitimate.

My prediction for the rest of the season- Roose will sneer at Ramsay over something, and Ramsay will go to take out his frustrations on Sansa. But Sansa will tell him how happy she is that he crushed Theon, and maybe even say the House Stark owes him a debt of gratitude for that. Something like "I'm proud that my husband has avenged my family's honor". And instead of brutalizing her, he will be tender to her. Because now, he will see that his future "should" be safer with the Starks than with the Boltons; and he won't be aware that Sansa is Littlefingering him.

In this way, Sansa will tame and turn Ramsay to her side, and by the end of the episode, Ramsay and Sansa will be (secretly, at least) planning on removing Roose and ruling the North.

will King Tommen exercise his absolute power with no true counsel to advise him?

Uncle Kevan is back in town.

There was a mysterious hooded figure in the rowboat that Jon and Co. escaped in at the end of last episode. I wonder if that could be Benjen Stark. He may be the key to getting back into Castle Black if Alister Thorne is being a dick.

I imagine that Benjen Stark is the last person remaining in this universe who can vouch for Jon Snow's true parentage now that Maester Aemon is dead.

Now that I think about the whole Ramsey turning angle--what if Ramsey and his 20 are actually going to camp Stannis to cut a deal? He could trade info and loyalty to Stannis in exchange for Stannis' backing for Warden of the North. Snow already turned him down for the spot, so it is up for grabs in Stannis' eyes.

---

Good call.

Never even thought about that. I would like to see him throw his father under the bus and take control as warden of the north and fight for Stannis.

I like Ramsey. We needed a crazy motherfricker after Joffrey was killed.



ETA: Any chance Jorah infects everyone with grayscale, and it comes down to a war between humans, white walkers, and those with greyscale?

Jorah gonna die. He knows he's a doomed man who is ready to go out with a bang.
