Since he is pretty much by season five a VillainSue who gets away with pretty much all his actions, it's becoming very tiring to watch despite Iwans fab performance as Ramsey. <br /><br />the show runners I feel don't get why Joffery worked as a character and why Ramsey doesn't so much, it's because with Joffery he had other characters to play off like Tyrion, his mother, Sansa, Tywin and actually suffered for his stupid vicious actions quite often. Not to mention he actually developed as the show and book went on. <br /><br />Ramsey on the other hand has never developed one bit as a character and only has his dad and theon to play off, and it mostly comes off one note despite the actors best efforts in trying to make it work. Too much screentime and plotarmor has made Ramsey actually part of the shows declining quality in season five, along with just the continuing piling on misery and deaths of good characters, the show I feel just pushes the misery and grittiness too much now (not to mention where they went with stannis this season) and it is becoming quite boring and predictable to watch overall I feel. <br /><br />Sorry got off track there, but the above ties into where I have a bit of fear of where the last two episodes will go with Ramsey very likely to be the main factor in it all considering the Bolton storyline of season four and five. <br /><br />Though there still is a lot of good stuff I think that can come out of the next two episodes, not to mention that I have some sucispions on certain characters. Like the Glenmore's there's something off about them I feel in their actions, since they are Tyrell like and might possibly be eying the Forresters lands for themselves. <br /><br />Not to mention who Tom is working for in Kings landing, I get the sense someone is playing the Whitehills and the Forresters off each other for their own end. Who it is and why they are doing it is the main attraction I have towards the storyline at the moment. <br /><br />You know your mention of Walder Frey is interesting considering Rodrick brings up the red wedding at the meeting and Ludd takes exception to Frey. since I remember seeing the Whitehills banner at the Red Wedding, it makes me think if the Whitehills position is actually as weak as the Forresters with them having lost men there due to Roose not telling them about his plan to betray the Starks, not to mention how Ramsey doesn't seem to like Ludd all that much. <br /><br />Since why would Ludd rely on sellswords if he had the men to destroy the Forresters already, I also suspect that the fad merchant in kings landing isn't Ludd's main merchant there, Tarwick or Morygan are actually his main man.<br /><br />Again ties into who I suspect Tom is working for. <br />oliver simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153675796879872038noreply@blogger.com
