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?

That's why people keep watching the show - nobody knows.

This isn't a 2 hour movie where in the end, all the good guys win and live happily ever after.

No one knows what will happen or who will die - that was proven by the writers when Ed Stark was killed off in the first few episodes.

The Starks were probably among very few people who could be considered good guys and look at how many of them they have already killed off.

The Theon payoff is coming imo...they wouldn't have had the near rescue and now the Sansa stuff if they were going to have Ramsey win that conflict
