may the many faced god continue to make him suffer. he burnt 2 farm boys too tongue
MNDY:


You just touched a part in the series that I take very very personal!
-
Ramsy's trick of being sent by Theon's sister to free him, the Winterfell men torturing him initially later go after him (Theon), Ramsy eliminates the Winterfell men who almost sodomizedd Theon.
-
Still pretending to be freeing Theon, Ramsy leads him back to his part 2 torture in Ramsy's own hands in the same location after Theon trusted him and even told him his experiences on their way! Oboy, see confam scope!
-
Ramsy cuts Theon's dic.k after letting him have a final taste of enjoyment from it. And in a letter, Ramsy tells Theon's father and sister "he cried when I took his toy."
-
Ramsy later eats a sausage made like a dic.k, I actually thought it was Theon's di.ck initially until Ramsy said it wasn't it!
--
I couldn't watch Ramsy piercing and wounding Theon's fingers in the stupid game he said they should play with Theon tied to that cross!
-
His change of name from Theon to Rick done by Ramsy who later cages him in a separate cage among his dogs like a dog demonstrates Ramsy's aim to reduce Theon to an animal!
-
I felt serious pity for Theon when he could not follow his sister who came to rescue him because he had become demoralized and even thought the rescue attempt by his own sister was another trick (Lols)!
-
Dat boy don suffer and he must revenge!

MNDY:


Ok! I still got your points!
-
You seem to know the names of all the characters very well (a thing I will embark on achieving very soon too)! Perhaps you have "A Song Of Ice & Fire" which is Game of Thrones' book adaptation! A nairalander says he has softcopies of the book and is willing to send them to anyone wanting them! I am contacting him already!
-
I've missed so much from these local CD vendors where I buy them in CDs that they burn the series into incomplete due to space! I can't order for the master CDs containing everything, they are said to be very expensive! Maybe I will plan on downloading everything from YouTube and watch all over again!
-
I missed out on the circumstances that surrounded the King's Fool title given to Dontus Howlard! I saw a short clip in the form of "last time on Game of Thrones" in which Sansa was pleading for Dontus Howlard's life at a ceremony, and he was forced to drink a gallon of wine there too!
-
Stannis' death I didn't see too! Heard he fought with Brienne of Tarth! Is Sir Devous (Stannis' aide) still alive?
-
I know there is a bounty on The Hound's head but I don't know what led to his flee from King's Landing! At the inn where he had a very favourite conversation that I talked about in an earlier post, he said "Bleep the king" and Lord Varys through his whisperers knew of it and brought the issue up at a council meeting where Tywin increased The Hound's bounty!
-
The death of that boy who escorted Bran to the three eyed raven is quite painful even though his death was later said to be a paid price! Just at their destination point, he dies somewhat like Arya's inability to meet with Catelyn and Robb at the Red Wedding! Talking of Arya, I also missed out what led to her said blindness! And Sansa's rape too I haven't seen (heard it is not in the book and regarded unnecessary and distasteful by fans)! She is said to be seen attempting an escape with Theon!
-
While on their way and Bran and co. were all captured by that guy whose shiny leather-top I admire so much, I thought they all wouldn't make it until the attack from the Night's Watch!
-
The grand-maester's envy of the new man brought by Cersei to take over his laboratory is so funny! By the way, I missed the said scene of his arrest by Tyrion for whichever reason! And at the trial, the grand-maester funnily turns away from the panel of judges to face Tyrion, and he angrily said: ". . .the Strangler (poison) . . . used to strike a noble child put on good earth." I didn't know he was strong and agile and was just pretending to people until he demonstrated it in his movements secretly in his room after sleeping with that Winterfell LovePeddler!
-
Fans are likely to forgive the Red Woman for especially burning the little princess if she resurrects Jon! I realized she was serious with her magic when she burned Stannis' brother and others, I hated Stannis for allowing that to show how desperate he was! I just want to see how he actually allowed the burning of his daughter (princess), because he sternly warned against striking her or burning her even if she was found sinful when the Red Woman encouraged taking her along with them! King Robert's b.astard is on the run to escape the same fate, with Stannis saying the boy is not his blood!
-

When she tried seducing Jon after the death of Jon's wildling girl, the Red Woman must be very powerful to have known and said the same phrase Jon's wildling girl usually said to Jon: "you know nothing Jon Snow."
-
On the whole, Game of Thrones is one very deeply-crafted series with knowledge written all over it!
-
The Mountain and The Hound are said to be brothers, but they've not met each other so far yet. If The Mountain is revived and they do, I don't think The Hound will engage him in any fight whatsoever for burning him during childhood according to him!
-
One very weird part of Game of Thrones that I find taken too far is Cersei & Jamie (twins) incest! I don't think such thing can ever happen in real life! Hmmm!
Wow.I am just seeing this.I believe I know those names because I have watched all 50 episodes of GOT at least five times.I read novels a lot and ASOIAF is not on the list of books I intend to read anytime soon.Ser Dontos Hollard came to Joffery's nameday drunk and Joffery ordered that he be killed but Sansa pleaded for his life and asked that he be made Joffery's fool instead and Joffery agreed.Stannis death was not shown on-screen.He was killed by Brienne but there was no battle.She killed an already wounded Stannis.Ser Davoos Seaworth is still alive.Stannis sent him on an errand to Castle Black when he decided to kill his daughter because he knew he was going to protest.The hound left at the battle of blackwater(Season 2 episode 9) because Tyrion's battle strategy was to use wildfire.(The Hound's face was burnt by his brother Gregor the mountain when they were boys and this has left him with a morbid fear of fire ever since...
Re: Game Of Thrones: Some Fascinating Facts, Behind The Scene Magics We Dont Know. by Ranchhoddas: 9:28am On Nov 18, 2015
...the boy's name is Jojen Reed son of Howard Reed(Ned Stark's friend from the books).Arya became blind because she left her duty at the house of faces to kill Ser Meryn Trant(the man who murdered her dancing master Syrio Forel in season 1).Sansa was raped by Ramsay on the night of their wedding with Theon watching.Theon realized himself at the end of season 5 and tried to escape with Sansa.The grand maester pycelle was arrested when he failed Tyrion's test to determine which member of the small council he could really trust when he assumed his father's role as hand of the king.The mountain and the hound actually fought in season one when mountain tried to kill Loras Tyrell at the tourney of the hand before King Robert stopped them.Remember when he cut off the head of his horse after he lost.Regarding incest, the Targayryens's were marrying brother and sister for hundreds of years to keep bloodlines pure.That is why they always have silver hair and almost golden skin and occasional madness.So it's nothing.

I just saw a prediction from Cleganebowl that The Hound may probably engage his brother The Mountain in a trial by combat with the former defending the Faith religion and the latter defending Cersei (for charges of murder)in the next season!

Sir Devoss would surely have protested! He made Robert's ba.stard (marked for burning) to escape . . . remember? What was Sir Devoss' reaction upon finding out? He became close with the girl who taught him how to read
-
Battle of Blackwater I think I remember! The one with Tyrion's army of those bush-savages to King's Landing for Joeffrey's ascension, battle in which Tyrion's face was slashed and Tyrion is still unable to unravel who sent his attempted killer (thanks to Tyrion's squirre)! I didn't see where The Hound stated declining from going for the battle!
-
Apparently, Brienne killed Stannis for killing Renly through The Red Woman! Brienne seems be from the place where Renly ruled, and I think Joeffrey's queen turned Thoman's queen with her mother and her brother in King's Landing are from there too!

What killed watching the movie for me was that I read the book a while ago even before the series started coming out. After watching the first one I was kind of disappointed about the movie because most of the scenes didn't play out as the book did, I've not finished the book either because as at the time I read it the author wasn't done writing the book I'm not sure he has finished writing it till date any ways but I think anybody that reads novels well should read the books I have the soft copies anyone interested in them can contact me on whatsapp with 08030809934 I can send all the first four or five books but only if you'll read it because they really are interesting. Sorry I just found out that I can't send the books to whatsapp so better you just send me your email addresses on whatsapp then I will mail them to you. Sorry

'Game Of Thrones' Season 6 Premiere Review: The Red Woman
Credit: HBO
Well Game of Thrones is back. The night is dark and full of terrors. Winter is coming. And lots of big surprises—some good, some bad—follow me as we embark on the sixth season of HBO’s fantasy drama.

Let’s go through the episode piece by piece, beginning in…
The North
We may as well, since we’re discussing Brienne’s valiant rescue to begin with. The lady knight was already waiting around Winterfell to rescue Sansa, which is why she was able to stumble so fortuitously on Stannis Baratheon and introduce him to her blade. (To be fair, he could still be alive. I suspect we’ll discover the truth of it next week.)
It makes sense, then, that she’d show up even if the timing was a little too perfect. If I were a savvy knight, I’d follow the trackers sent to hunt Sansa down rather than try to find her myself. In any case, she and Podrick both ride in and save the day, though perhaps the most important moment was when Theon stabbed the Bolton soldier and saved Podrick. It’s good to see Reek falling off, and Theon emerging.
I loved this scene mostly because it’s the first good thing that’s happened in a long time on Game of Thrones. It’s one horrible event after another sometimes—the end of Season 5 was so bleak, so sad, so depressing—that this small victory feels all that much more profound.
Of course, the North isn’t all sunshine and roses. Ramsay is out for blood, and he won’t stop looking for Sansa simply because she’s escaped his first hunting party. Castle Black isn’t even a decent refuge for her now that Jon Snow has been murdered, though she won’t know about that yet.
At Castle Black we have several of Jon’s friends in the Watch holed up with Davos, Melisandre and Ghost, Jon’s Direwolf. Oh, and Jon’s very dead body. Ser Alliser Thorne has taken control of the Night’s Watch and, in spite of some grumblings and discontent, seems to have the place firmly under his thumb. Things aren’t looking good for our small handful of brothers, though reinforcements might be on the way in the form of Wildlings.
Perhaps the most interesting moment of the entire episode came at the very end, however, when we see Melisandre alone in her chambers, once again stripping naked—though this time she’s alone. She removes the choker from around her throat, and suddenly she changes. We see her reflection in the dark mirror: She’s old, withered away, sagging and tired. Her youth and beauty is nothing more than a powerful illusion. This reminds me of the sorceresses from The Witcher games, who mask their age and look young and beautiful to all the world.
Pretty fascinating, though I’m not sure yet what to make of it. Melisandre, the Red Woman, seems to have lost her faith. Meanwhile, Davos thinks she may be their only salvation. I still wonder if she will be the one to bring Jon Snow back…
Let’s set sail, and head to…
the south

Dorne, to be precise. Here events transpired that I would not have predicted in my wildest of prognosis.
Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes overthrow Prince Doran. In the first few moments of the scene, both Doran and Areo Hotah are killed. What!!!??
While we don’t know where the books may go at this point, I can’t help but think this is wildly far from what Martin has planned for Doran. Ellaria treats her lover’s brother with disdain, as some weakling, but in the books at least Doran is calculating and patient and ultimately far more clever than this. Unless we’ve all been bamboozled, I (and many others) had come to believe that Doran was playing a very long and careful game (of thrones) and that he had quite a bit more to say on the matter.
Not so in the show, however. Ellaria is the new boss it would seem. Doran and his son Tristane are dead for a ducat dead. Ellaria is no schemer. Does this mean Dorne will raise its banners and go to war immediately? It would seem almost necessary at this point.
I’m not sure I really like this at all, to be honest. Doran is an interesting character, and killing him outright because he wouldn’t march off to war seems drastic. I mean, Ellaria is mad because Oberyn was killed in a fight. So she kills his brother? I guess I’ll reserve judgment until we see how this plays out, but after this and some other stuff that happened tonight and last season, I’m more impatient than ever for Martin to finish Winds of Winter, if only to compare these two very different works of fiction.
We’ll hop on another ship and sail north again, this time hovering just above Jaime Lannister’s shoulder, so that we can see that look of pain on Cersei’s face when we finally reach…
King’s Landing
While I loathe Cersei in the books, I can’t help but feel sorry for her in the show. Game of Thrones paints a far more sympathetic character in the Queen Regent, though she’s still fairly nasty, petty and cruel, and much of her fate comes from her own bad choices. She blames a prophecy, but had Cersei been wiser and less brash, or raised a better child in Joffrey, it’s possible all her children would be alive and none of this madness would have happened to begin with.
Jaime and Cersei are close again, and I’m not sure how that’s supposed to play out. I suppose they’ll need to first deal with the High Sparrow, and then set their sights to both the North, where Roose Bolton has betrayed them, and to the South where the Dornish will be presumably mustering an army. Since the show has killed off Stannis and his army, that’s not really a concern anymore.
Also in King’s Landing we find Margaery Tyrell, still imprisoned by the High Sparrow. She asks about her brother Loras, whose crime was being gay, and refuses to confess to things she didn’t do even when the High Sparrow asks nicely. Will she and her brother be rescued by the Lannisters? Could Jaime save the pair of them? It seems likely. Jaime will once again be cleaning up his sister’s messes.
Things are heating up in King’s Landing, but not a whole lot else happens here, so we’ll sail further still, heading…
more coming soon

While we don’t know where the books may go at this point, I can’t help but think this is wildly far from what Martin has planned for Doran. Ellaria treats her lover’s brother with disdain, as some weakling, but in the books at least Doran is calculating and patient and ultimately far more clever than this. Unless we’ve all been bamboozled, I (and many others) had come to believe that Doran was playing a very long and careful game (of thrones) and that he had quite a bit more to say on the matter.
Not so in the show, however. Ellaria is the new boss it would seem. Doran and his son Tristane are dead for a ducat dead. Ellaria is no schemer. Does this mean Dorne will raise its banners and go to war immediately? It would seem almost necessary at this point.
I’m not sure I really like this at all, to be honest. Doran is an interesting character, and killing him outright because he wouldn’t march off to war seems drastic. I mean, Ellaria is mad because Oberyn was killed in a fight. So she kills his brother? I guess I’ll reserve judgment until we see how this plays out, but after this and some other stuff that happened tonight and last season, I’m more impatient than ever for Martin to finish Winds of Winter, if only to compare these two very different works of fiction.
We’ll hop on another ship and sail north again, this time hovering just above Jaime Lannister’s shoulder, so that we can see that look of pain on Cersei’s face when we finally reach…
King’s Landing
While I loathe Cersei in the books, I can’t help but feel sorry for her in the show. Game of Thrones paints a far more sympathetic character in the Queen Regent, though she’s still fairly nasty, petty and cruel, and much of her fate comes from her own bad choices. She blames a prophecy, but had Cersei been wiser and less brash, or raised a better child in Joffrey, it’s possible all her children would be alive and none of this madness would have happened to begin with.
Jaime and Cersei are close again, and I’m not sure how that’s supposed to play out. I suppose they’ll need to first deal with the High Sparrow, and then set their sights to both the North, where Roose Bolton has betrayed them, and to the South where the Dornish will be presumably mustering an army. Since the show has killed off Stannis and his army, that’s not really a concern anymore.
Also in King’s Landing we find Margaery Tyrell, still imprisoned by the High Sparrow. She asks about her brother Loras, whose crime was being gay, and refuses to confess to things she didn’t do even when the High Sparrow asks nicely. Will she and her brother be rescued by the Lannisters? Could Jaime save the pair of them? It seems likely. Jaime will once again be cleaning up his sister’s messes.
Things are heating up in King’s Landing, but not a whole lot else happens here, so we’ll sail further still, heading…
more coming soon

Was the name Areo Hotah ever mentioned on the show or do you just know it from the books?

Very good analysis
But I guess cercei's dealing with the high sparrow would play in the Tyrell's favour or giving her deceptive nature, she could simply allow things the way they are, just to punish the Tyrells
