This stuff with Theon is actually not in the books. If they followed the books strictly, he would not have appeared again for another 2 seasons or so, with all the shenanigans portrayed in the TV show being somewhat alluded to in between. Readers know generally whats going to happen regarding his storyline, but all the details are brand new, and very exciting to watch.
Oh, and yeah, awesome episode and ending.
PS: Pod the Impaler FTW!

I don't know if they answered this in the show... if they did it went right over my head. But who exactly captured/tortured Theon?

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
The show makes me feel kinda bad for people who had it coming to them.. like Ned and Theon lol. I won't feel bad for Joffrey or his mother if they die, or littlefinger

Lol yeah after watching the series again I think so.
It may have just been forshadowing, but he beheads an innocent man in the first episode who was telling the truth about white walkers. I have a feeling everyone will eventually be paying for people like Ned not taking the white walker threat seriously.
Don't get me wrong, he's an Angel compared to most of the characters, but he's still a war leader and likely has a ton of innocent blood on his hands just by supporting Robert (even if indirectly like the Targaryen children)

The guy wasnot innocent. He deserted the Night's Watch which is a death sentence and the guy knew it. If he wanted people to get prepared for thewhite walkers then he should have reported back to his supervisors in the organization that was founded to fight the white walkers.

True. As far as we know anyway. The night watch guys he was with claimed he'd be killed as a deserter too, who's to say the night watch wouldn't have done the same? In his eyes it was a death sentance either way.
When someone is faced with death like that, they can make dishonorable decisions to try and survive.. Ned did it himself

I had to work so haven't watched yet. Although I've read the books and know what happens, I'm trying to avoid spoilers on how the show handled it. Pretty anxious to watch it.
