Ferrum Aeternum Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I thought I was weird how he left the door to the dungeon open the way he did, seemed like he wasn't trying to conceal his actions at all.My interpretation was that was done purposely to drive home the symbolism of the X-shaped cross, which appears prominently in the Bolton heraldry on the show. Perhaps to give casual viewers an idea of Theon's location without actually giving it away (since the torturer doesn't answer Theon when he asks where he is).I too can't wait to see where this story is headed in the coming weeks. The hunt sequence has a lot of potential to be horrifically awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Banjo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 They've shown us murdered babies, decapitated people, charred corpses of children, removed nipples, etc... They HAVE to show us some flaying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we're probably all "worried" that the torture will be light, but it will probably be disgusting and awful and scar us for life :bawl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conchobar Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 No way is he telling the truth. Rheon couldn't tell ANYONE who interviewed him about what the real deal with this "Boy" character is.There's no way he'd be that cryptic if he really was just a spy sent by Asha. Couple that with the continued, conspicuous name dropping of "Bolton's bastard" all the time, and yeah... no waaaayyy.This is good though. This is the storyline I'm most excited to follow this time.I don't want to spoil it for you, but you are right, he isn't telling the truth. We will find out in episode four. He is Ramsay. Also, I am almost certain they will show flaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velki Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Goodness, you're that worried about them not showing flaying? They showed a man's nipple being carved off. At least flaying of a random body part doesn't infer any cutting off of nerve endings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 He's been in the Dreadfort for less than a day. This isn't the tickler trying to get information in the quickest most painful way. Ramsey sees Theon almost as a piece of art in the books and takes his time to break and mold him into Reek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drstrangelove Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The guy who unscrews his foot at the end, who shows mercy to him is Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenlaar Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have to cry foul at IMDB - Rheon's character is listed as Ramsay Snow.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3701064/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlame Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 IMDB is edited by many sources. Agents can fuck up sometimes.Ehee, I love this turn. His eyes are gorgeous and will be terrifying very soon. He'll look a more delicate than book Ramsay, but it might create a nice dissonance. He looks a bit like a smaller, craggier Cillian Murphy, who was a lot of peoples' fantasy casting. What makes me curious is timing-wise when we will know he is the Bastard vs. when we learn more about Roose's intentions. It might be some awesome tension for viewers. On top of all his other mistakes, Good Stupid King Robb's second in command sanctions astounding torture.Using this season to show Theon's descent into Reek will fix the fact we can't get directly into Theon's head later on. You can see quickly with Theon sobs for the Boy not to leave that he'll be clawing for any scrap of perceived kindness, even if it comes from the Bastard deciding to take one toe instead of two. As for flaying, has anyone seen the American Being Human? One of the vampires gets flayed and it looks wonderfully gruesome. Someone refers to him as a "meatsicle."

Ordos Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 What I'm looking forward to is when he drops the role he's playing and completely changes his personality. Boy might speak like any normal person, but Ramsay is overly aggressive and makes threats now and then. "Do it now or I'll nail your tongue to the wall" or like his letter to Jon which was just blunt threats instead of (does not necessarily need to be diplomatic) choosing better wording to explain his demands and circumstances.

Couple that with the continued, conspicuous name dropping of "Bolton's bastard" all the time, and yeah... no waaaayyy.Not to mention that he LOOKS exactly like Ramsay if you pay attention to his scene.

callmedodge Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Boy needs Theon to trust him first before he breaks him. It`s the whole point of the Ramsay - Reek relationship. Reek is supposed to be helplessly dependent on Ramsay, even to the point were he begs to be mutilated. It`s utterly horrendous.But Ramsay needs to get inside Theon`s head first and slowly break him down. I wouldn`t be surprised if he doesn`t even reveal himself after the escape but waits some more, providing him with comfort after torture. It`ll be the most fascinating storyline the next few seasons for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightsOfDany Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Got to be him just fits, plus for show watchers it will be a huge twist when he turns from nice guy to twisted monster. not to say i wont enjoy watching that.Also IMDB credits him as Ramsay Snow, but who knows if that is just a guess on there part.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3701064/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito5601 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 My interpretation was that was done purposely to drive home the symbolism of the X-shaped cross, which appears prominently in the Bolton heraldry on the show.

The hunt sequence has a lot of potential to be horrifically awesome. yea if non book readers pay attention to detail they will see that theon is in a position very similar to the bolton sigil on all those banners, one of my friends hasnt read the books but he already connected theon to bolton and to locke also, he thinks that the man flaying theon is boltons bastard. and he doesnt see anything wrong with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
