re: GoT S3: Episode 6 "The Climb" <<<Book Readers Thread>>> SPOILERS

I don't see how he connected that "bastard" is Roose Bolton's bastard. Everyone I have watched the show with (non-readers) have no idea who this guy torturing Theon is.

They've given enough information for you to figure out Roose Bolton's bastard has him. Plus that has been the character the book readers have been least secretive of, to where the non-book readers knew he was coming.

like I said a few pages back a tagged this guy last week

BillyMays didnt show up till the 6th episode yet jumps right in:

Perhaps he's a Stark loyalist looking to avenge Theon's half-arse sacking of Winterfell.

Can't wait until Dany and her freed slave start working late nights/close quarters

I'm guessing Lord Tywin won't be around forever at this rate- he's turning into a complete troll.

Robb has taken his eye off the prize, but I don't think the Karstark beheading will hurt him much - it seems like it was a device to get the unfinished business storyline with the Fyre's back into the mix.

Robb was always going to have growing pains.

He needs to experience lows that test his character and fortitude... if this wasn't the case, he'd be unworthy because he never proved himself against adversity.

It's a process.

Stannis is a pussy
He's actually kind of a misguided mouth-breather - he killed a bunch of Lannister soldiers single-highhandedly at King's Landing, but just got his shite wrecked by Wildfire. He needs someone (Onion Knight perhaps?) that isn't a fanatic helping him strategize things.

I'm assuming Jon Snow will be the bridge that brings them together, or at least that's how it's trending.

The Watch is in shambles, their leader is dead, and Snow is tapping Wildling arse.

It's becoming pretty clear the Wildlings aren't much different than any other clan per se.

Hell of an intro to the threads.

he then trolls about how lame jon snow is and jaime not deserving sympathy.

Why do book people even bother clicking on this thread? Do they have zero self control?

IDGAF what book it was - just stay out unless you can control your urges to win the interwebz with GOT "knowledge" and impress message board people.

It's like dealing with children. The word "book" should be stricken from the damn thread

---

I dk man, seems like a stretch. I'd have to go back and watch all Bolton scenes and see where it is distinguished that the guy torturing Theon is Ramsay who is Roose's bastard.

the mention of the Bastard at the end of S2 is so brief that I didn't even notice till like my 3rd time watching the episode (this was before I read the books). No way the Hodors drew those conclusions based off of a tiny mention like that

cant really use the bastard as evidence since someone basically went in the thread and told them who he was.

---

I was a non-reader last year, and some of you directly spoiled the Bastard for me supposedly coming in Season 2. Just finishing up the first book at the time to where I had no idea who he was, but kept expecting him to pop up in an episode. I'd venture that most the non-book readers at least knew of the Bastard and that he was as bad or worse than Joffrey, which is why they all figured it out so quickly.

that's just glaring

its like the scene in inglourious basterds. we are the gestapo officer and these closet readers are the Basterds, and we're just waiting for them to give themselves away

i did not even notice. wow. i cant say anything either because i dont want to ruin shite for the actual non readers

I know, that's why I couldn't point out Billy's shite. It sucks

I'm really surprised they don't chastise you for posting in there

---

We just did work in that thread. We outed a book reader that has posted maybe the worst spoiler I've seen yet this season. Luckily it was so subtle I don't think many (if any) caught it.

quote:

Good episode. Loved the stuff with Melisandre that wasn't in the books. LOVED what she said to Arya. Fantastic stuff there.

---

Likewise. Thought it made a good reasonable connection with needing a king's blood.

quote:

---

Theon's torture and the Bastard is everything I'd hope he'd be and then some.

---

Honestly I don't remember Theon being tortured in the book but I'm not one to remember every detail.

And yea, that was a gruesome scene with Ros being used as an archery butt.
