4:21 "the Greyjoys are treasonous whores" - a treasonous whore

Roose Bolton was already at this point plotting against Rob Stark. He didnt want Rob to go back north because he had plans for the abandoned north and he knew Tywin Lannister was going to win because he knew he would convince frey to kill rob.

our blades are sharb

Any one of us can say who’s action we agree with or hate but when your own house is in jeopardy you’ll do whatever

Somebody shoulda told rob that the *stark* reality, hehe, is that if they’re gonna abuse his sister they’re gonna do it regardless, the fastest way to save them is to storm that castle *that took everything rob didn’t do*

Robb was a fool. Too much mercy, wasting resources on prisoners, letting surrendered enemies retreat, breaking oaths, disrespecting his council, and letting a nobody - Talisa - interrupt council meetings. Also the audacity of that girl to keep interrupting them lol. She was poison to Robb and got what she deserved at the red wedding.

Watching this back, Rob was extremely ignorant.

Robb shouldn't have disregarded Roose throughout this season. Roose would've stayed loyal if Robb listened to him more.

Roose towards the end was like “nah this guys caught up pussy too much. He needs to die” lol

What I dont get is why not just send all the prisoners to the wall?

For a video about Roose Bolton, did it need to take over 2 minutes before we saw him?

bastard

4:18: Who wants to be a Millionaire, Westerosi style: Question: Why would Theon do this? A: For the glory of his House. B: To gain his father's approval. C: As revenge for being a ward of the Starks. D: Because the Greyjoys are treasonous whores. Roose [immediately and with no hesitation]: "D, final answer." Correct!

The fool in the North, if he had actually taken Roose advice he might be still alive.

Let’s not forget Robb Stark was just a kid

Honestly i can see why roose betrayed robb. He was a skilled battle commander and did everything he could to win the ear for the north. I would have named him my hand and followed his advice closely.

Roose wanted to be Tywin of the North, but Rob lost his faith

A short lived. One season of a vampire detective in L.a. Moonlight Episode: the ringer Music? This

Damn Roose is kinda a G

I don't know why but for some reason it always bugged me when Talissa first appeared and you could see the sparkles in Robb's eyes ... It used to piss me off every time he'd fawn over Talissa. I don't fully remember whether it was her character I didn't like or him getting sidetracked and "somewhat" forgetting his duty to his people, his father and his little sisters. From Robb's and Talissa's very first conversation, I knew it was bad news and something's about to go wrong, still, I was not ready for the red wedding. Nevertheless, as horrific as it was, I still believed that Robb and Kaitlyn somewhat deserved it.

Roose Bolton: ‘He ignored my advice at every turn…if he’d been a trifle less arrogant…’ I feel he was very much genuinely on Robb’s side until he’d had enough of his naivety and saw that his arrogance and petulance would result in them inevitably losing the war.

Rob would’ve won with Roose on his side

Tbh i like robb, i really do. But he was being too honorable. Roose gave some good counsel to him. Its war and sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Even with karstarks i side with him on rebuking their lord on killing the boys but he should of listened to his mother and others. Imprison him and tell his men to keep fighting until the war is won and he would be released or atleast put to trial. Just robb was trying to be too much like his father and do the honorable way. I agree with roose saying "The high road is pretty but you will have trouble marching your army down it"

7:11 is the moment he decides that he is going to betray this honourable fool the first chance he gets.

I know flaying is a horrible torture, but House Bolton are far my favorite house in GoT. Roose is a sound tactician and an excellent commander, if the young Wolf would have heeded his counsel. Fuck Robb's honor, he already lost the North for lying a peasant and breaking the vows with the Freys.

Roose was a terrifying character , but I loved him

Roose Bolton would've been a fierce Hand of the King

Idk shot about writing but i can imagine GRRM writing about tobb and falling in love with this boy created with his his personality, character and honor and the things he dome like capturing jamie or winning a few battles and just loving eveything about him And then 1 day it hits him like a sack of bricks when he finally says to himself robb needs to die and the way he gets killed off probably forced himself to get drunk lol

>emblem is literally a flayed man >talks about flaying people >lives in a place called the Dreadfort >his surname is the same as the American politician who wants to start a nuclear war with Iran, Russia and China >kinda looks like Vladimir Putin How did Robb ever trust this guy

I remember GRRM saying that Roose was loyal to Robb stark throughout most of the war it wasn’t until Stannis’s defeat of the battle of black water bay and Rob forsakening his vows to marrying one of the frey women was when Roose decided to betray Robb!

Roose was a good ally to Robb. But an ally isn’t necessarily a friend. Roose Bolton was a dangerous man, the kind of men you would want to maintain the loyalty whether it is based on honor or not. As a King he should’ve know Bolton loyalty was bargained, not true. When you’re in leadership position you need to see things as they are not as you would like.

Roose actually tried to help Robb I every way he legit had no choice but to betray him

I feel like a fool after all these years not seeing the signs…Roose did want to help Robb at first but Robb basically gave Roose a deaf ear. It’s all there in front of the viewer and I was so focused on Robb winning that I ignored that he ignored anyone’s advice really

You can clearly see Bolton wants to help Robb do the pragmatic thing, to win the war, and yet Robb doesn't listen.

"And where was KING Rob, when the Ironborn attacked this castle" - Lord Glover, when he expressed his disappointment with Robb wanting to help the north. Robb did want to come back north, but was advised to trust Ramsay.

Anyone who’s thinking he’s a great actor should check out an Irish comedy mockumentary called ‘Paths to Freedom’….You’ll hardly believe it’s the same person

Every time Roose was advising Robb, Talisa always came at the wrong time. 😂

8:06 imagine making one of your chief generals, Lord of the second most powerful house in the north and your most powerful ally, leave your tent because some healer wants a word. What dumb writing.

Roose swore loyalty to Robb Stark and meant it! He genuinely offered him the best advice he possibly could. He only chose to defect to Team Lannister once it looked like the Starks would not win the war. I love the little details like Roose saying they can't keep too many prisoners since they barely have enough food to feed their own troops as it is. Then later of course all their tents are occupied and Roose mutters "too many prisoners." Like yes it sounded harsh to just kill everyone but it's also unwise to keep so many prisoners when there's not enough food and shelter for everyone. It's also sweet to me that Robb keeps saying "your son" in response to Roose's "my bastard" lmao

I can see why Bolton left robb he gave legit good councile robb ignors him after the karstark left and he got word he had Jamie to get tywin to negotiate a plus the war he's fighting will loose... smart dude don't blam him robb stupidity if he listened to his banned men and not act on emotion and break packs he could of won

It's a small detail but at 6:58 Roose, instead of following the other Lords, stays and stands at the ready to follow any command given. Roose is a bad man but he isn't stupid.

If Rob kept Tellysa as mistress, their son as bastard & married to a frey girl I think the Red wedding could've been avoided. After winning all he have to do is slowly poison and kill his Frey Queen (if he is that desperate to make Tellysa queen) and rule freely 😅😅.

Plot Twist: Talisa tought that Roose and Robb were lovers, that's why she kept interrupting them!

Sometimes when I'm sad I imagine a timeline where Robb was a bit less headstrong and treated bannermen like Roose better, earning their respect but more importantly their loyalty. Maybe then no red wedding. If only!

Man when you realize that Roose was loyal to Robb and offered him really good advice and suggestion however he choose to betray Robb because he realized Robb’s political decisions would still lead to the red wedding so he choose the side where he had the better chance of survival. I’m convinced that even if Roose didn’t betray Robb the Freya still would have and Roose would have been in me if the victims

Roose was basically second in command for Robb & he was trying to do the right thing before betraying his king

6:22 is when robb loses the war

Robb was a weak King and that's why Roose betrayed him. Rob allowed his arrogant and controlling mother unlimited access to him during a bloody war. She yelled at the King in front of his second in command. Always second gueesing his decisions, undermining his aythority and acting rogue. He should have never accepted her in his camp, immediatelly sending her back home by force. He then fell in lust with a random girl he knew nothing about and allowed her unlimited access to his tent, even going so far as to dismiss his bannermen whenever she appeared. And then... he broke his oaths because of "love" (i.e. lust, the Frey girls were not that good looking for his taste). Leading to his just death. What a fool.

This man, played Roose so f'in good.. I mean I know he is not 100% same as in books.. but damn, I still watched him and seen THEE Roose Bolton. Great actor.

3:14 this is where Robb Stark really dies.
