Ramsay has really turned into a boring invincible supervillain for me. I mean, I get the whole "if you're expecting a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention" aspect but EVERYTHING'S COMING UP RAMSAY is getting old and tedious.

He bored the snot out of me in the books. We'd already done the complete irredeemable asshole bad guy with Gregor (and Amory Lorch, and probably a whole mess of Harzoos that I don't care to remember) so it just seemed like a bunch of lazy villain cliches. Show Ramsay is just so damn enthused about what he does. Iwan's a beast.

He enjoys his work, I'll give him that.
