    I loved everything about Episode 3. Can anyone remember if that scene with Podrick in the whorehouse was in the books? I can't remember. But if it wasn't in the book. . it shoulda been. Hilarious stuff.

    I couldn't agree more. It was perhaps my favorite episode of the series so far, and I absolutely cannot wait for the rest of the season to play out. Things should just get better and better from here on.

    He's a sociopath. Also, he should properly be referred to as Ramsey Snow at this point, as he's the Bastard of Bolton.

    Surely there's a better reason for that? What have we seen in the series so far to warrant his hatred? I don't recall him really explaining the reason?

    He's a sociopath. Also, it is one of the ways he gains compliance, and he may well have plans for Theon. Also, Ramsay should properly be referred to as Ramsey Snow at this point, as he's the Bastard of Bolton.

    So it's a matter of 'watch this space' at the moment then?

    Yup, but honestly...the character is mainly cruel, sadistic, evil and pushes his agenda by fear.

    Also, do you feel more sympathy for Theon now, after having gone under the knife?

    Just kidding, hope it went well/smoothly.

    I hate torture in films etc and will generally avoid material concentrating on it. So seeing the stuff happening to Theon at the moment is painful for me to watch!

    I know. Unfortunately, you may never get an adequate answer (to your way of looking at things) as to why these things are happening to Theon.

    ASOIF is supposed to be gritty, and is at times painfully so. Some say RB is a counterpoint to a lot of other characters in the narrative, which makes sense, he certainly underlines certain moral hazards of the world the characters inhabit.

    Also, it's sort of a family tradition. . Torture that is. The sigil of house Bolton is the Flayed Man. The Boltons used to skin their enemies. They have even skinned a few Starks way back in antiquity. Probably a genetic predisposition towards sociopathy in the family.

    But why the special interest in Theon? Why the vendetta?
