“Battle of the Bastards”

Ramsay rides to the front of the lines, leading Rickon by a rope. He brandishes a blade, holds it aloft, and then cuts his ropes. “You like games, little man? Let’s play a game,” he tells Rickon. He orders the poor kid to run across the battlefield. As he prepares to fire an arrow at Rickon, Jon rashly mounts his horse and rides out to collect his little brother. Just as Jon is about to reach him, an arrow pierces the boy’s heart.

  1. I can understand why Rickon Stark ran straight. If you're in a life threatening situation with adrenaline running and you're starting to panic your instinctive response would be to run in a straight line.

  2. Why are people forgetting he was with Ramsay?! I bet the poor boy was scared as shit and also underfed so he was weak. I bet none of y'all and even me could run that fast and also not get hit by an arrow. Like if you all think you could have done better than him then prove it. I am honest I know to damn god I would not be able to run and not get hit.

  3. Only reason I think this is brutal, is because Jon hasn't seen is youngest brother Rickon in years. And when he finally gets to see him, he is killed maliciously right before his eyes. That's his baby brother, and he died right in front of him.

  4. I know people are entitled to thier own opinion but why is everyone going so crazy about why rickon didn't Zig-zag? i mean the boy was running from a psycho who had thousands of men with bows and arrows and people expect him not to run as far from them as possible i mean do you people think ramsay is that shit of a marksman?
