Killing Ned, who confessed to treason in front of the people and the gods, is worse than hunting down two young boys and burning them? Okay...

Not sure why that needed spoiler tags but that was my guess.

I don't think Theon has reached Joffrey levels at all. Joffrey killed Ned and is a total douche. Theon seems like he's still uncertain about all of this.

Very uneven episode, IMO:

I guess it was a reaction simply to killing two innocent children. My guess is his 2nd in command realized they would not find the Starks, knew that if Theon couldn't produce the boys he would face a mutiny, and then decided they should kill the boys who lived at the farm in a way that they couldn't be identified. That is why he told Theon to send the Maester away, not to spare him the sight as I first suspected, but so he wouldn't reveal the plan. The youngest Stark made a point to mention the two boys who lived at the farm earlier in the episode. What I can't figure out is what the walnut shells have to do with that. Maybe it was just a red herring to throw off the viewers.

That would be my guess, unless walnuts supposed to be some sort of status food that you wouldn't find in a small community.

If you're going down this path, why not just assume that guy carried the shells from Winterfell and didn't find them at the farm?

There is no Jeyne in the show. It's Talisa. You need to stop directly comparing this to the source material. Besides, you'd be happier in the other thread.

Also, when did I compare anything to the original material? Who gives a shit what her name is? The point remains. Stop putting words in my mouth.

This doesn't even make sense, I now can't have an opinion about a scene until the entire season plays out?

I didn't tell you to not post, I pointed out that you'd feel more comfortable there.

Remember a few episodes ago when Bran was holding court at Winterfell? Rickon was sitting beside him smashing walnuts before Bran told him to stop. He apparently loves them. I think thats the connection that they are implying.

See and I thought this was ham fisted and obvious. The heart to heart all the while with the kid inching closer and closer. I was all "Just choke him out already!" :lol: I thought that was way too stretched out for the obvious conclusion.

Then at least take a few seconds to do your own fact-checking before you further blur the line between book and show information and what can be considered spoilers by those that don't know.

Name a spoiler in my post. I'm done with you.

I know what they were implying (they telegraphed that). I was just agreeing with DeputyDave that it could be a red herring, unless walnuts are supposed to be really uncommon.
