Not a book reader but was wondering: What is the significance of this episode's title? Ramsay?

Aemon told Jon to kill the boy and let the man out.

Yeah; meaning himself (Jon). Time to step up and be a man.

I think it's in reference to the advice Maester Aemon says to Jon: "Kill the boy and let the man be born." (symbolically speaking, that is, now that Jon is Lord Commander of the Night's Watch)

But like some other GOT episode titles, it could be in reference to more than one thing.

There is a whole lot more I am not sure of but I figured I would start off slow. Thanks.
It's a political alliance more than a marriage. She does it to bring peace to Meereen.

How can Sansa marry Ramsay when she's still legally married to Tyrion?

Although it was never consummated, given the fact that Tyrion isn't dead won't their marriage still need either a divorce or annulment first before she can marry again?

Halfway through the season and not a single white walker yet? Now that Jon is going north of the wall hopefully we'll see some again.

I believe it not being consummated is all that's really required. Tho cersei may try to contest the marriage if she gets word of it. I'm sure she still thinks Sansa had a part to play in Joffrey's death... well a willing/knowing part to play.

Loved the Bolton stuff in this episode. Ramsay's stuff always has me squirming a little.

Not sure how much I can trust Wiki, but according to their schedule a GoT episode will air on Memorial Day weekend (unlike the past 2 seasons).

It would be nice not to have to deal with that 2 week break.

Forgot to mention this, but the whole Grey Worm & Missandei subplot is just so cheesy and lame. It feels so out of place.

I forgot that part, makes sense. I was figuring it tied into the story of Ramsey's birth but it can work with both. Thanks to all who responded!

I know we are not going to see the Princess of Dorne, but are we going to see the Wildling Princess? And I am not sure exactly what they are going to do with Jon since Melisandre left with Stannis.

Yeah, I think someone this season (Littlefinger?) mentioned that she was back on the market since it hadn't been consummated.

Ramsay's GF had a nice body.

Love the fact that Stannis and Jon are making big moves. And it's been said before, but I like the new mixing of established characters (Tyrion/Jorah, Stannis/Jon).

Grateful to be free of Cersei for a week, although too much of Reek and Ramsay took her place.

Although I did enjoy Roose stepping on Ramsay a bit at the end of dinner and the smirk that came upon Sansa's face.



Really enjoyed seeing Valyria and the Stone-men, as Shireen mentioned it a couple of weeks ago.

Glad to see Jon heading north of the wall again, and Stannis finally heading south, even though the scenes between the two always had a good back and forth.

I look forward to Stannis the Mannis kicking the crap out of the Boltons.

Yeah, that was Littlefinger assuring Roose that she was still a virgin, as her marriage had not been consummated, and he could have her checked out to be sure, and Roose replied that he was only interested in her name, not her virtue.

Roose is a psychopath but he knows what he needs to do to get ahead.

I pay very little attention to much about GoT, but even I knew that. It technically is a spoiler, or an anti-spoiler, but it's been posted so many times without spoiler tags that I think it's ok.

Not in that place and time. They covered it. Until the marriage is consummated, it isn't a marriage. And by covered, I mean not only in a recent episode, but in previous episodes as well.
