I think your perception is too modern. Nobility in such a setting has very little to do with culture or morals. It's entirely about bloodline and heritage. Wildlings are considered barbarians by most not because of their acts (let's face it, most people have never even met one) but because they live outside of "proper" society.
It's a combination of things if I remember. First, the Starks outlawed flaying generations ago. They kept the flayed man as their banner as a remembrance of their heritage (aka confederate flag argument). Second, the Northmen are known to be rougher than the southern houses (Tyrells, Lannisters, Baratheons). Third, if I remember correctly, Roose/Ramsay are particularly cruel compared to other modern Boltons. War and conniving allow them to get away with more.
That D&D interview seems to imply it doesn't happen at all in the books.
I expect sarcasm and scorn overload, anything less than that will be a dissappointment. I hope the show and the books can deliver because, seriously, it's should be one of the biggest moments in all the series.
The HS=Howland Reed theory is one of the most plausible theories out there to be honest. It would explain his total absence from the story even though he is one of the most important support people for the Stark characters, it would explain his awesomeness and his hate for the Lannisters. Yeah, right, he doesn't "hate" the Lannisters per se as much as their corruption, but his religious fervor could very well be a façade for his hate. Just picture it: Tommen dead, Cersei humiliated to the infinity and beyond, Jaime kidnapped again or even dead and then a close caption of the HS praying: "I'm sorry Ned for being so late, this is the best I could do". And then TWOW ends. Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Why did Gilly and Sam have sex.
Ok I get it now, thanks.
It's still really odd people trusting them like Robb or Littlefinger, I doubt he really wanted Sansa hurt like that. The show doesn't convey very well that they are very good at hiding their brutality.

This episode just cemented that Tyrion's storyline in ADWD was absolute trash. Penny was the worst character and I'm glad the show cut her and just got to the chase of him meeting Dany.
Also made me realize that for those who've been reading since ASOS, we've been waiting for Tyrion to meet up with Dany for nearly 15 years.
Because he saved her I guess. Felt kind of...weird? I mean, he's breaking his vows at the fucking wall. Doesn't seem to care either.Why did Gilly and Sam have sex.
You need a tag that says "Tyrion". Then your name, avatar, and tag can all be in sequence.
Haha.
I find the story on the wall to be messy. Along with the dorne plot. Unnecessary changes. Sam and Gilly can just be great friends, as they were in the books.
They fucked in the books too lolHaha.

"And suddenly his cock was out, jutting upward from his breeches like a fat pink mast."
Haha.

That's Sam and Gilly in Feast. He even gets some breast milk if I remember correctly.
The books is where "fat pink mast" came from, though.

Gilly's been trying to lock that shit down since Day 1.
And yes, anyone who calls a vagina a "swamp" (what kind of pussy has GRRM been in...)...
So is anyone else expecting some big book spoilers when Dany and Tyrion have a chat?

Myrish, clearly.
Jon can't be stabbed if he back with the wildlings, he is the only one can stop a battle between the wildlings and the watchers
Speaking of which, Myrcella says she's been in Dorne for "years" and yet Gilly's baby is still a baby. So I'm assuming there's a big time gap between season 2 and 3.
That has to be a terrible continuity error. It makes no sense. Gilly is first introduced in the first episode of season 2, and she's already pregnant. Myrcella leaves for Dorne in the sixth episode of season 2. Gilly gives birth in the third episode of season 3.

Maybe they go to OldTown to give the baby a safer place to grow up.
So I guess Sam really is going away with Gilly, huh. I wonder where.
They were trying to justify how much Myrcella has "grown"... With complete disregard for the show's own continuity.

The only thing I can think of is two things:
1) teenage angst = exaggeration
2) wildling inbreds have long gestation periods
Maybe Myrcella was exaggerating.

Yeah, the only kid on the show that hasn't aged at all is the baby. Haha
"Tis Salty, Milord" is also up there.Not you forgetting fat pink mast. It is GRRM's greatest literary achievement only rivaled by Myrish swamp.
Explains why Kiesha Castle Hughes now looks and acts middle aged despite being in her twenties...
(still can't hate on my whale rider...)
Are you saying a 16 year old who just met what she believes is her soul mate would be exaggerating? One who just basically told her uncle/dad "fuck you" even though he was sent by her mother to bring her home from a hot political environment?
Oh shit, I just realized Myrcella is Sansa2.
Craster has Night's King semen that makes all the baby boys stay newborns forever.
If we follow the show continuity though, there really isn't much aging going on. The events from season 1 to season 5 should be two plus years at most. That's also why they had to stop showing Rickon, because the show continuity moves so slow, all the actors have aged too much!
They're likely going to have to w/ Rickon.I'd be okey with the show changing the actors.
Yeah, except for that fact that Trystane isn't a psychopath but probably actually genuinely cares for her. I'd also like to jump on the" Cercei made up the threat theory" boat now.
"Tis Salty, Milord" is also up there.
Yes, D&D really missed some great television by not reminding the viewers what Theon's semen tastes like, or what it feels like for a warg to have sex.
