"SNOW JON SNOW!"
Just wanted to quote this for a new page. Most posters are good with the spoiler tags in this thread, but there are some who just either can't resist hinting at stuff, or are forgetting to tag stuff that hasn't yet been revealed to viewers. If you don't want to know what's to come, I recommend staying away from this thread at least until season's end. (Too bad, because overall, this is a great thread.)
You might need your own thread once all comes to pass.I'm afraid I won't be able to film my sister, but I was like "please, do text me during the episode".
She's all "I already know what happens so it won't shock me"
"Oh, but please still do text me".

It's probably for the best that you won't be within arm's reach.

ACOK:
ASOS:
in a marriage under the seven, after all the vows are spoken the bride's father removes her cloak and the husband puts his cloak around her, signifying that she is now under his protection
Just an interesting little subtle thing that may mean absolutely nothing in the end
Yep. And then they lost...
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Remember to tell her afterwards: "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention".
ROFL! That's awesome. That poor sister hahahaha.
Cool interview, thanks for that. NCW is awesome. <3
ASOS/ACOK
I always assumed he left it behind as a symbol of his abandoment of the Kingsguard. The marriage ceremony angle didn't even occur to me.
Very badly lol
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Indeed. Besides, [ACoK/ASoS]
does Sansa give her own cloak to the Hound? It's an exchange of cloaks, after all.
hahah, this is so perfect on so many levels
There's probably a bunch of boy/Theon out there, ever since they cast Iwan Rheon. lol
Honestly, it probably won't be that great. She likes the show but she's not super invested. She'll most likely just text me a bunch of "what the hell?! BUT YOU SAID IT WAS THIS" and that'll be most of it haha.
Edit: Also, is that GIF of Kit at the game shopped? Most likely, but if it was actually on TV, I would cry with joy.

I thought that was more
Her fantasizing, since at this point, he would be the only 'knight' that would come and save her.
I think it means more that she is and will continue to be 'under his protection' than anything to do with marriage; I don't think anyone would disagree that if he knew what was going down with her currently he wouldn't be all up in that.
Please tell me this is real.

IT'S REAL TO ME!

I disagree. People want it to be over already because they assume there's an ending in sight... like a rescue or even a death. They're not expecting to witness the complete mental destruction of a person but that's exactly what they're getting.
No way. I love the Dance chapters that inspired this storyline, and I'm well over seeing this on screen.

I have a Theon question then...
Reek was spoiled for me, so I am curious to those who read ADWD when it came out. How long did it take you to figure out it was Theon? I didn't really pick up hints on the first reek chapter, but it seemed pretty obvious by his second chapter. I'm wondering what the reaction was like to people who were surprised when they read it.

I wasn't aware it was supposed to be a a secret. Seemed fairly obvious.

I started picking up on it almost immediately if I remember correctly. I remember reading those chapters with a sense of growing dread.

It's confusing because I didn't realize the whole Reek/Ramsay switch until after I read the first Reek chapter. But the dead give away was towards the end when Ramsay is talking to Karstark and someone else and he jokes about how "Reek" doesn't smile as much and then makes the "what is dead may never die but reek here clearly hasn't come back stronger" comment that made me go "OH MY GOD SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO THEON".
Honestly I think it's important that in a fantasy show like this they show ADWD
Theon's transformation because otherwise the viewers will instinctively think his situation was not much worse than Jaime's, Ned's or Davos' in terms of dungeon treatment. Only thing left for them to do is have a scene where theon tries to smile in defiance of ramsay only to have ramsay smash his teeth in with a hammer. That's something that unlike flayed/maimed fingers would be really easy to replicate in the show yet at the same time would be a perfect mental "pillar break" for theon.

Never occurred to me until I was pretty much hit over the head with it.
Please tell me this is real.

Wasn't there something by the end of the first Reek chapter that basically said it was Theon? At least that's how I remember it.

And this is how you AREN'T supposed to do spoilers. Spoiler the whole thing.
ADWD
I figured it out pretty fast. When they ask him for his name and he thinks about how he had forgotten it.

Ramsay says in the end of the chapter something along the lines of "They say that which is dead may never die but comes back stronger. Well Reek here sure doesn't seem to be much stronger."
Not as creepy as the Arya / Renly fanfic. IMO.
Plus this is the Internet. Someone is cooking up some Hot Pie / Melissandre fanfic right this instant.

The hell...
Hah hah, I meant to type Arya / Gendry!
But you know Arya / Renly fanfic's gotta exist. I'm afraid to Google. Im not ready for what I might find.

Yup, it's a terrible world we live in...

[Series]
I had just sped through the whole series leading up to ADWD, so it was very fresh in my mind and the first thought I had upon reading the chapter title "Reek," was that it was Theon. It was essentially the only plausible option considering the original Reek was dead and it seemed highly unlikely that Ramsay was going to be getting a POV under that moniker. It never even seemed to me like his identity was a secret.
And since, as far as I remember, you've similarly been going through all the books relatively recently, I'd say this was probably one of the least damaging things to have spoiled. Especially considering that, unless I'm mistaken, it was known to fans for a long time prior to ADWD that Theon would be returning to the series.

As others have said, for me it was sometime during the first Reek chapter. I remember initially being really confused about the whole thing (not to mention being very grossed out when he describes the satisfaction of biting into rats with his broken teeth) and even considered re-reading ACOK chapters to brush up, but eventually within the first Reek chapter or two there's enough hints to put it together.
[Further ADWD Spoilers]
I can also remember I was still looking for switcheroos or twists to happen again further into the book, but his identity gradually comes back to him of course.

Just about done watching the histories on Season 1. Amazing stuff, can't believe I didn't watch them before.
Robert's narration on The Mad King was the best. Does Season 2 have more of these?

Yes
Excellent. Shame that it didn't include The Tower of Joy.
I didn't expect it, though. Shame the show totally left that out.DrForester

Probably could not drop hints as innocently if certain theories pan out.
