Farmer is right.
In the books, we don't find out about Theon until much later (book 4?).
To me, that was a holy crap moment and I had to read that page twice.
But in the show, they made it much easier to follow, but kept a bit of mystery there in the form of who is his captor.
The depth of how messed up this whole ordeal is actually implicit in the books. You know some serious stuff went down because you get into Theon's head, but just barely.
George RR Martin never actually gets into the gory details unlike the show.
But the end result is very clear, Theon gets a skull-f*cking 2 ways from Sunday. It's so bad that I felt Theon Turncloak deserved some mercy.
They are showing some of the gory bits on the show.
But are they seriously going to illustrate him getting broken down for the next 2 seasons?
Side note.
I can't wait until we meet the Sand Snakes.
***RAWR***
