I want Sansa or Theon to be the ones to kill Ramsay.

Simple Torture wrote:Non-spoiler explanation: They mentioned the "kingsmoot" last night, so here's the skinny: Balon was already hatin' on Theon for seeming like a land lubber, and after he found out he had lost his twig and berries, you'll remember, he basically disowned him in season 3. Yara would seemingly be next in line, but there's never been a woman who's ruled the Iron Islands. So they're going to have a kingsmoot--basically, a meeting between all of the houses of the Iron Islands to pick the next ruler. Yara has a claim, and so does Theon if he returns--but, so does the Man on the Bridge (Balon's brother), since he's a male member of the family. Basically, it's shaping up to be the same sort of shitshow as when King Robert died and Joffrey, Renly, and Stannis all claimed the thrown.

I really thought it was going to fail and then they'd put him on a pyre and he'd emerge from that after the flames died down ala dany in season 1.

Spoiler: show

Anyone think he warged into Ghost? Nothing happened with his resurrection until Ghost sat up a moment before Jon came back. I'm sure that is the approach the books will take, but I really think that what happened in the show, too. It would also be a way for his resurrection to not take too big of a toll on him, personality wise, as his spirt didn't travel to the darkness a la Beric. There's also some canonical evidence, vis-a-vis Ghost's behaviour, that suggests this is the case. The only time he howls in the books is when Jon is having a wolf dream while north of the wall. Otherwise, he is noted for being unnaturally silent. His howling at the beginning of Episode 1 makes me think that's the case.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It was just a lot of hype and nonsense for what amounted to a lot of nothing. It would have been way better if they had actually kept it under wraps, or held off on the reveal for much longer, like another season. As it stands, it makes his death and everything that came after feel like useless filler all in the name of pumping up the Jon Snow myth.

It couldn't have been dragged out. Jon's body would start to rot away.

Yeah, resurrecting a partially decayed body would be absurd, even in this world.
