Ser Didymus

i appreciated Ramsay giving a shout out to one of the books they are adapting this season.

i'm beginning to think that D&D are aware of the intended ending to GRRM's story, and they are electing to offer this alternate plot as a way to preserve the "true conclusion" to ASOIAF for readers. there have been several "doffing the hat" moments in the show that give me more faith in D&D as book purists who have no choice but to make a compelling TV show out of an essentially un-film-able series of events. "keep reading, Samwell Tarly" was as much of a breaking of the 4th wall as we're going to get. i am finding this season far more interesting and clever in the way they are combining plots/characters; vs. previously just eliminating/inventing stories for the sake of expediency and budget.
