Red Mosquito

Spoiler: show

Unlike the books, where it just had the pink wax the Boltons used without their seal fixed on it.

- the best points -

Smalljon in the books lost his life in the red wedding fighting to his last breath to defend Robb so it would be a huge shift to have him written into the show as a massive traitor.

We actually don't know if the Big Jon is dead.

Smalljon shows up with a proposal that would see Ramsay leave his defensive position and take the field as winter is about to fall, the exact thing Roose had warned him against doing only a few episodes prior. Did Smalljon wait because he hated Roose? Or did he wait because he knew Roose would distrust a long-time Stark ally or see the proposition to march far into the North with winter coming as a fool's errand?

If you cared nothing about tradition, wouldn’t you just swear whatever oath was asked of you and not give a shit if you keep it or not? Seems to me, that SJU talked his way into tricking Ramsay in way so that if he betrays him, he cannot be called oathbreaker by anyone.

Ramsey didn't send the letter, that it was from little finger, to get to snow to head to winterfell. But I don't believe it because you saw a bolton man delivery the message.

Definitely from the bastard. Your friend is whack.

There's Coldhands, too, whom we will probably never see in the show.

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.

Not my comments earlier today, at least that I can recall.

I'd be on board with this if it was a deus ex machina that came out of fucking nowhere--if it either went against the logic of the universe or was played just for shock value; like, say, a fan theory like (yes, this is an actual theory) the Faceless Man training Arya turns out to be Ned Stark (because a Faceless Man was hired to take Ned's place at the execution and he's been secretly training in Braavos ever since, obviously). But when it comes to Jon's resurrection, the show has spent five seasons slowly and carefully setting this up, getting all of the right pieces into place, so it wasn't meant to be a surprise or a plot twist. What matters for Jon, obviously, is what happens next, not so much the fact that he came back from the dead in a fire god ceremony (that matters more for Melisandre's arc).
