We have finally made it to season four.
My favorite season.
And I know this is a total cop-out because it’s technically not a part of the episode itself
But my favorite moment is seeing the Dreadfort in the opening credits for the first time. 🙂
Ramsay eating is probably one of my most favorite things ever. It makes my heart soar. He’s just so happy and content while he is eating…I could feed him for days. And I could talk about how cute he is when he eats for hours at a time. I just love it.
So while this entire scene is sexy as hell and Reek is officially born, Ramsay eating will always turn me on the most. 😀
Oh shit I almost forgot–this is the episode where we actually finally find out who the fuck Ramsay is.
“But Ramsay…well…Ramsay has his own way of doing things.”
Yes, yes he does, Roose. And every time you say that line it give me chills, because imagining Ramsay doing things his own way turns me on. 😉
This is long overdue. I was putting it off because 1. I was finishing up Misfits and 2. It’s such an emotional episode.
But thankfully, there are quite a few special moments strewn throughout, so it was fairly easy to pick two.
The first one is when Gilly tells Sam he is a wizard. If you remember back to Season One, Sam tells Jon that he wishes he were a wizard/that he always wanted to be a wizard, so it’s definitely a sweet, endearing moment.
The second is when Talisa suggests naming their child Eddard if it were a boy. The first time I saw this episode, I choked up at this part. Of course, right after that, Talisa is stabbed in her womb, causing both herself and her baby to die. So, it’s very bittersweet, but one of my favorite moments of the episode all the same.
Honorable mentions go to Rickon saying goodbye to Bran (and, well, the last time we even see Rickon until Ramsay kills him), and Roose Bolton, Troll Extraordinaire.
The rest of the episode is rather depressing and won’t be talked about.
This moment is not exactly a ‘favorite’ because it reflects something good or fun, rather, it’s one of those moments that hits home in a personal way.
Sansa is forced into a marriage with Tyrion, and although neither of them want it, for Sansa it is a moment of true despair and you can see it so painfully reflected in her eyes and her body language.
Sansa is a lot like me in that we both dreamed of a fairy tale, happily ever after wedding since we were little girls. That’s what we had grown up seeing and what we were exposed to, so that’s what our expectations naturally were. But Sansa is shown the harsh reality that life doesn’t always work out that way.
I, too, struggle with the same feelings and realizations. All that I ever wanted for the majority of my life was to see myself get married to that one person, my soulmate, my one true love. After trying so, so hard at so many failed relationships and sacrificing so much of myself to people who didn’t deserve it, well, I have tossed that prospect aside entirely.
So, it’s not something I long for or want for myself anymore. And, most of the time I‘m okay with that. But, sometimes it still hurts when there are constant reminders that marriage is still, for the most part, what society expects and demands, especially from women.
I look at Sansa at this part and even though the circumstances are different, our feelings of disappointment and sadness are the same as we see that something we once believed in is destroyed at our feet.
“Would you say it’s your most precious part?”
“This is mercy! I’m not killing you…just making a few alterations.”
What’s not to love about this part?! Oh, yeah…Theon gets castrated.
But, that’s such a minor detail, though, compared to Ramsay’s sexiness. *bites lip*
Whew okay, calm down girl…save it for the bedroom later. 😉 XD
This episode is just so brilliantly Ramsay. So. Many. Great. One-liners.
“Sorry, were you sleeping?”
“’Please’ is not a body part”
“Do I look like a fucking Umber to you?”
“If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention”
To name a few.
And, his pouty face is probably my favorite expression in that entire episode.
Although, that wicked smile he makes when he says “you forgot to ask if I”m a liar” is pretty classic, too.
I love this bastard of mine.
