Ramsay is a villain that is very easy to dislike and will be very satisfying for the reader to read of his downfall. It is the laziest type of writing and a far cry of the early 'villains' of the series - Cersei, Jaime, or even Joffrey. With them you could at least sympathize with them at times, or explain their behavior. Ramsay is just wicked to the bone, which probably means he'll be around for at least another book or so. :P
Winner of THE grumbler point.

I got the impression that the Lanisters were intended as to totally evil and without any redeeming value early on (with the exception of Tyrion), but Martin changed his mind.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

So... can we ask a dance of dragons question here?

[spoiler]Is there any historical medieval  counterpart to RAmsay Bolton? Who would tolerate such a crazy monster?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I thought he was inspired by the 'Bastard of Orkney' Robert Stewart, the bastard son of James V.  Martin takes alot of inspiration from Scottish History, like the Red Wedding for example (being inspired by the 'Black Dinner' when the Douglas Clan was massacred).  Robert Stewart had a pschopathic bastard son of his own named James of Graemsay with sorta looks like Ramsay as well.[/spoiler]

Childish, yes. but still fun :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Your religion is evil, no bacon and now no beer? At times like this I can't help but think that if Antiochus IV had only killed all the Maccabees the world would have been a better place.

It's been renewed for the third season. We'll get to see the red wedding!
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Fuck you all.

I thought you couldn't do that in Pesach, either.  :huh:
