No Dorne. No King’s Landing. No Braavos.
I have to say – and I’m quite aware that Ramsay Bolton is intended to be thoroughly unlikable – I really dislike those scenes. It could be the writing, the acting, or the directing. Maybe all three. Just, heavy handed stuff screaming – HE’S UNLIKABLE! HE’S UNLIKABLE! HE’S UNLIKABLE! HE’S UNLIKABLE!
I get it. Ramsay is a sh##. Is any sort of subtlety or nuance too much to ask?
They did the same with Lysa Arryn. Annoying, Crazy, annoying, creepy, annoying, overly sexed and – oh, yeah – annoying.
We’re not children. We understand that the unlikable characters are unlikable. Please don’t keep hitting us over the head with it over and over again.
It’s like having someone say every 5 minutes: “Saaaaay, Tyrion … you’re kind of a dwarf, aren’t you?” We don’t need to be told such things.
If you read the book you’d know they are downplaying Ramsay. He’s not dislikeable he’s a psychopathic sadist.
I haven’t yet seen S505 - but I’ve read the books.
As I told my missus, Ramsey is the basically the devil’s son - you can’t hate that character too much...
