Will There Ever be Someone Whom We Hate More Than Ramsay?
A few months ago, I turned one of my colleagues on to this show. A few days later he thanked me, and said, "I'm four episodes in and already there's this guy I really hate, I just can't think of his name..."
I instantly said, "Joffrey--but, in a few more seasons there's someone you'll hate even more." When he finally "met" Ramsay, he told me I was right.
With (apparently) two seasons left, will/can the next Big Bad take us to new heights, and who--or what--will s/he/it be? It would have to be someone already in the story, with so little time left. The Night King seems obvious, but he's a monster. Can an actual monster revulse us as much as a monsterous human? The Mountain is another possibility, but he is probably a mindless brute who does the queen's bidding. My choice is Littlefinger, whom I've always thought was the most dangerous player in the game. I think he'll stop at literally nothing to win. What do you think?
