SpringIsTotallyOnTheWay Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Simply for the sake of contrast, I'd guess. The traditional red and pink probably wouldn't stand out as much in the background, making it harder for tv show watchers to get the hint.But why for the love of the seven did they go with blue, the same blue of the Tullys? I wasn't the only one who confused it with Tully colors at first glance. Now if they had gone with say bright yellow, then I would've just lol'd and shrugged.

SpringIsTotallyOnTheWay Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think part of the reason they messed with the colors is how silly they look. I remember reading the books, and I believe it was Ramsay described wearing the Bolton colors, and all I could picture was a giant pink dildo standing there next to fake-Arya, though that is rather apt description of Ramsay's character...LOL @ giant pink dildo. But picturing Roose and Ramsy owning others with their pink capes billowing behind them was part of their awesomeness. Can you imagine the outcome for anyone making fun of them for wearing pink?? Plus pink tied in thematically w/ their sigil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StannisandDaeny Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 YESS there are unsullied who have figured it out!http://www.avclub.co...-newbies,96930/this brings a smile to my heart.Sorry to rain on your parade but I believe the odds of people invested enough in posting there actually looking up information is pretty high. That said, it's not impossible for someone to figure it out just by watching the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Glokta Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Iwan Rheon does a REALLY good job.He has these super crazy looks and his eyes are almost exactly like i pictured them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonstoned Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Blowing the vuvuzela at the beginning was a nice touch, 'horn-blowing cunt'. Nightmares for everyone who watched the last World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maester Ruin Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 i find it odd that theon failed to guess where he was being held, really. growing up in the north, he should not only know how the bolton sigil looks, but he should also have heard rumors about their tradition of flaying people (since ned had to outlaw it).Now he is tied to an x-shaped cross, having his finger flayed. he should be able to put 2 and 2 togheter even in such a stressful situation, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Er Rn Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The horn blowing was hilarious. He's a troll, that Ramsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Lannister Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That was great. That psychopath is the Ramsay I've been looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenFleece Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Question is when will Ramsay be revealed? I ask that because in the books Roose gives the skin of one of Theon's fingers to Cat and Robb before the RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTDN Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 ^I'm betting on it being next week. They dangled the mystery over our heads this week, and I really think they can't drag it out any longer after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAge93 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Daaaamn Iwan Rheon is doing such a fantastic job with "Boy"/Ramsay. He plays him so creepily well, it's definitely scary. And I never even connected the horn blowing to the horn blower outside WInterfell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episodenone Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The HORN is the first hint to remind people about what they saw last season and start to connect the dots.Could you please remind about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lannistergold Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 In the spirit of Ramsay's game, I challenge my non-reader friends and family to guess which family "the Boy" is from based on cues in this episode (and flay them if they still haven't worked it out ;) ).
