I mean even if it's not planned in advance Ramsay's initial action (kidnapping lady hornwood) is suicidal and pointless and clearly contrasts with the cunning of everything else he did, it also contrasts with pretty much everything he does afterwards, almost all of which is foolish, cruel and lacks any sort of restraint and planning.

so like such a person would act in real life. the serial killer type in real life isn't the unbeatable genius like hannibal or ramsay on the show.

Does Euron win everything? If not, most dissapointing book series ever.

He talks a bunch of hype but everything just kinda ended, like there's two or three more books that need to be written to finish all of the stories.

Ramsay is def killing Roose in the books too (if they ever come out), but it def won't be as dumb as "let me hug you on your way out to poverty"

Or I hope so.

Talking about bookEuron reminded me of the dumb Euron = Daario theory. How do people come up with this stuff?

Too much time on their hands between books.

e: tbh it's a fun enough theory, I wouldn't mind if it ended up being true. Like of all the dumbass theories people come up with, it's at least interesting and would make Dany's plot a little less boring.

That and the prevalence of secret identities, baby swaps, etc in the books. But mostly just the fact that people go insane in the 5+ years between books.

I cared more about the old Daario getting recast than current Daario being written off as "lived happily ever after in slave town".

Like look at this guy



This is the kind of Fabio guy you don't share your credit card account info with and definitely would have been a much more interesting story mechanic than "nah, he just loves her for realsies".

I doubt it. Book Roose basically called show Ramsay's actions out already and George is not going to treat Ramsay better because he is played by a good actor. If one of them kills the other it's Roose scheming to have Ramsay killed, probably by letting him attack Stannis with 20 good men - it would be so GRRM to have a few show burns in the next books.

yeah i think it's far more likely roose gets ramsay killed due to ramsay being a liability. especially considering in the books the red wedding actually has consequences and he knows how precarious his position is. it's like d&d forgot the red wedding happened.

I don't want a lower budget spin-off.

At the risk of brining up Battlestar Galactica again, the events before the series sounded cool enough.

They then gave us not one but two lovely prequel series that were boring as gently caress.

It's like someone gave a student film director tens of millions of dollars.

You ever seen an interpretive dance, and there's a guy gyrating arrhythmical on the floor, and it's supposed to be about the "vitality of movement" or whatever, but you know the real truth of the matter is that guy figured it was easier to do something weird than learn how to actually dance. OK, well now that dude is in charge of the Moscow Ballet.

possible, but Roose ddiiiiid have this to say in the books:

"If she pops out sons the way she pops in tarts, the Dreadfort will soon be overrun with Boltons. Ramsay will kill them all, of course. That's for the best. I will not live long enough to see new sons to manhood, and boy lords are the bane of any House. "

I bet you could dual wield pretty effectively against the ice zombies though. You wouldn't need a shield after all. But then a two-handed sword would be the better option in that case anyway.
