SynthFG Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 NoI think Roose will turn up having lost 1/2 his army at the trident, with Theons finger skin and the news the boys are dead,this will prompt Rob to name JS heir and send Mormont and Glover (extras) off to Seaguard / GreywaterWe then get the build up to the wedding wrapped around the story line of JS and Bran crossing at Queenscrown, Danny faffing around outside the city and possibly Loros opting for the Kinsguard over a lifetime married to CerciWe should also get Coldhands meeting Sam, leaving Sam and Gilly coming out of the Well as Brans closer for the season in 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi Seaworth Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I guess telling that Bran and Rickon are alive would work as well, but the way it is done in the books seems to have a stronger emotional impact. At least, when I was reading it, it broke my heart to put myself in the position of Catelyn before she was killed: knowing that every single person of your family was either killed or harmed. It made me pity the Starks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Perhaps Roose will hand over Theon's "most precious part" to Robb and Catelyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Knight Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 i loved "the piece of prince" line in the books, i hope we'll see it in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoti Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 They have to at least tell Cat and Robb that Bran and Rickon are dead. It should be in a pink wax sealed letter with a piece of prince in it, but if they let Robb and Cat die thinking the boys are still alive would kill the impact. Plus a huge part of the RW in the book was knowing as the reader that they were walking into a trap. You didn't know how big or what would happen, but you knew they were hosed walking in the door. The show has to let the audience know that something is terribly, terribly wrong before they walk in the door or D&D will have wasted a huge opportunity.

Bannerless Man Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Perhaps Roose will hand over Theon's "most precious part" to Robb and Catelyn. :ack: I do hope not. A piece of flayed skin would surely be enough. That and it would hardly be polite, to do so in the company of a female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Snark Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have a nasty feeling he'll present the Starks with his severed penis. His missing finger was not particularly well flayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinwesteros Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I completely missed that Roose gave Cat a piece of Theon's skin before the wedding. But I'm not sure why Roose would try to lull Cat and Robb into a false confidence, as Roose sat beside Cat during the wedding, saying barely a work and just picking at his food - not exactly trying to disarm her.

SeanF Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 :ack: I do hope not. A piece of flayed skin would surely be enough. That and it would hardly be polite, to do so in the company of a female.The Northmen have different traditions. They only gave up human sacrifice fairly recently.Giving a lady the severed body part of an enemy is probably considered good manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatcherontheRock Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I hope he will. This is who Roose is. He doesn't have much screentime, it's time to give him more flesh (pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conchobar Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Does anybody think that Roose will give Catelyn a piece of Theon's skin before the Red Wedding as he does in the book? It could be a way to lull she and Robb further into his trust, as if Robb is noticing anyone but Talisa at this point. Roose could also maybe along the same lines tell them his bastard has captured Theon and learned that two common boys were burned and posed as Bran and Rickon. This would give them false hope and also potentially increase their faith, trust, and gratitude towards Bolton. Since they are going to die anyway it does not matter what he tells them as far as others knowing. I don't necessarily believe this, I just thought about it earlier. Considering how screwy the whole Bran and Rickon news has been to Robb and Catelyn on the show who knows, I wanted to see what everybody else thought.I hope so, but I don't think Roose should tell them tthat Bran and Rickon are still alive, that would be awful. Cat needs to die thinking Bran and Rickon are dead like it was in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conchobar Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm starting to doubt that Roose will even be there until "Jaime Lannister sends his regards."He's such a troll in the show that I feel like he'd send a raven saying he got held up, just so he could have a LOL GOTCHA moment when he kills Robb hahahaHe's at teh ceremony right behind Robb in the trailers. He will probably use the " I don't drink " excuse to slip out of the celebrations or something like that.I have a nasty feeling he'll present the Starks with his severed penis. His missing finger was not particularly well flayed.You are a professional flayer yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsc Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Wouldn't they actually have to give Catelyn a scene to do this? Thus, it seems unlikely unless they switch so that Roose offers it to Talisa for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsc Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well, since she is "the Queen in the North", yeah why not?Maybe, she can be naked and showing off her butt when it happens and squeal "skin skin" as that would be a rich and deep scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, she'll do that while playing with Theon's penis. Rich and deep scene indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if she does that with Theon's member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
