The Boltons *spoilers*

    By far my favorite characters from the books. What do you make of Michael McElhattons performance as Roose? Even though we have only seen tiny glimpses of him with Robb he already takes over every scene he is in with his presence. First scene you see him in and he is already talking about flaying prisoners. :pac:

    Bit bummed that we probably wont get to see him bathing in leeches at Harrenhal and we wont get to see Ramsay till next season but considering their huge roles in the future books its good to see they are bang on in their casting (for Roose at least).

    Wouldn't be surprised if we saw Ramsey
    taking Winterfell
    in the last episode of this season...

    I worried he might be being overlooked a bit until his counsel scene with Robb this week.

    Agree completely. Hes perfect in that role. I cant wait to see more of him in the show.

    The Bastard of Bolton... whenever I see it I always imagine that it's supposed to be a double entendre.

    They creep me out, especially the Bastard:eek: When I see McElhatton all I can think of is Rats:-) He plays the role well though, especially his soft-spoken tone.

    She asked me for a double entendre....
    so I flayed her alive and named a dog after her

    They are horrible people but far more fun than the lannisters imo.

    Comedy genius XD

    He never really stood out for me I have to admit but there are some scenes later I look forward to seeing, hopefully they arent left out.

    Reek it rhymes with sneak .... :-)

    Classic

    when i first started reading the series the house i hated most were the lannisters (tyrion lannister excluded of course) as the books progressed and as the characters developed i really started liking the lannisters and the Boltons were the cool new house to hate.

    They really are a creepy bunch

    Apart from the Boltons my least favourite family has to be the Freys, especially with that horrible old fart as their Lord.

    I actually the think least likeable house is the Freys. They seem so cowardly and sneaky. I like the Boltons in a way. They're scary people and ruthless and without scruples. I think this makes them very interesting, and I can't wait to see how they develop on screen.

    Yeah the Boltons seem to get ahead no matter what the situation, they're prepared to marry/flay/murder and backstab their way to power but the Freys seem to just lie and cheat.

    Definately the Freys. Even in the Egg and Dunk Tales the Freys are cowardly and slimey! Lord Walder makes an appearance as a runny nosed boy!

    They really don't come into their one until book 5 , ramsey is absolutely depraved. Takes a lot to disturb me but the part [book 5 spoiler]
    when he tells reek to get fake Aria ready for him
    was shocking on many levels :(
