That's why I asked if anyone read the books. If anyone is up to it we can start a new thread for that. I'll still engage here, just won't go into anything that hasn't happened yet or been introduced in the show.
I'll also point out that the show deviates from the book in many places so my speculation is pure speculation and nothing from the books.
I feel like I'm the only one who really enjoys the Bran storyline. I'm excited to see how the develop his connection to the three-eyed crow and the weirwood.
F#ck Ramsay Bolton. I hate that scumbag more than our dearly departed king. Theon/Reek is one of the most tragic characters in the series. Everything that happened to him happened because he was unlucky enough to be born. I hope he gets his revenge.
I think at this point, Bran's role is this is in the early stages of development. there is not a lot of action surrounding him, it seems it is setting up for him to eventually unite the North under Stark rule yet again.
I agree Theon had a lot of bad luck, but his betrayal of Robb, who trusted him as a brother, was unforgivable in my mind. Obviously the Boltons are even more traitorous, but Theon and his family repulse me as well. I hope they destroy each other.
My favorite part of this whole series is the struggle for power. who fills the vacuum left by Joffrey's death? I am worried the Lannisters are bound to seize even more power.
Personally, I think of all the houses, Westeros would be best ruled by the Tyrells. Kind, merciful, practical, fair. I hope this can happen somehow.
