He brings a falcon for Robin Arryn as a congratulations present for appearing to have joined the Strokes' still-unconfirmed reunion tour. We take a little break and check in at the Eyrie, where Littlefinger finally makes his season six debut, a-schemin' and a-plottin' as usual. "But sure, by all means, go rent a cabin without Wi-Fi and write poetry about how you're still dead inside." ( +10 for pep talk #2.)Ī quick pause for the 'Game of Thrones' Growth Spurt Power Rankings "A monster has taken our home and our brother," Sansa reminds him.
Ramsay Bolton isn't even a real character! Do you know how humiliating that is?" ( +10 for pep talk #1.) Later, after getting flamed by the aforementioned new Warden of the North, Jon Snow again has his doubts about whether or not it would be worth it to murder Ramsay. "You think you had it hard because you got stabbed a bunch by your own brothers? I am technically still married to Ramsay Bolton. The craft ale is bad! ( -1,000 to craft ale.) Sansa and Jon agree they must team up wherever they go from here, but when Jon decides he's arbitrarily "tired of fighting" and doesn't want to take back Winterfell, his half-sis stops short of slapping him upside his pretty undead head. The soup is good! ( +1 to Soup.) Sansa tries the Night Watch's craft ale.
When a girl rides in with a 6 foot frame and Valyrian steel in your face, YOU GET SPRUNG #GameOfThrones /FFitAKkamk And +10 to Brienne for wasting no time rubbing Stannis' death in Melisandre and Davos Seaworth's faces. After all, "Book of the Stranger" kicks off with a seemingly untoppable guitar-solo end zone dance of a scene: Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, reunited! Neither Stark offspring technically earn points for this crowning achievement, but I want to give Sansa, Podrick Payne, and Brienne of Tarth +10 just for making it to the Wall (something I don't think we can take for granted on this show.) I also must toss Tormund Giantsbane +5 for making piercing, powerful, meat-gnawing sexy-eyes at Brienne. I put Ramsay's action at the top of this week's GO GOT recap because I wanted to get it over with, and because his (fake, completely non-canon) scenes were a black mark on what was otherwise a pretty jammin' episode. That's +40 for Ramsay, though I'm tempted to dock him -5 for that horrifically wasteful apple-peeling technique. Alas, Osha tried, but she could not out-stab the all-consuming power of the violent fanboy imagination run amok. I didn't yet know about the true nature of the Ramsay character, but it's clear now that the amateur enthusiast who conceived him and edited him seamlessly into this otherwise super normal show has no interest in poetry. Last week, I optimistically guessed that Osha would finally be the one to end Ramsay, creating a nice poetic triangle between her, Ramsay, and her former tormentor Theon. Worst fucking Game of Thrones character yet.Weakens Stannis' entire army with "20 good men".
Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North (fine, fine, +25 ).But since it would be too complicated to remove him from the game at this point, the best we can do is apologize and tell you the truth: How this error has gotten through unchecked is mystifying to all of us here at GO GOT even more mystifying is how this character ended up on our draft, of all things. It's come to our attention that a thinly-written fan-made character, built on the most indulgent impulses of the worst corner of internet fandom, seems to have made it into the cut of season six of Game of Thrones that HBO decided to air. The Game of Game of Thrones is a fantasy game based on a fantasy show, but we're not the only Double Fantasy in town.
