That is what I think is so great about this show. No matter how bad you want Theon's redemption against Ramsey it will probably never happen. Ramsey may kill Reek and Sansa and just continue his life of happiness by torturing new people.

The good guys don't always (if ever) win in Game of Thrones.

I half-agree with you.

Only reason I expect the "payoff" is solely because of the damn screen time devoted to Reek. It's one thing for all this to just happen to him for years with no end-game, because it's just a sadistic guy torturing his captor.

However, the fact that we have watched him for 8 minutes per episode for the last 2 or 3 seasons HAS to mean something, right? It's not like we were attached to him and are just being forced to watch someone we loved be completely broken - this is a guy we were completely "meh" about at best. I guess my point is, what the hell is the point with Theon?
