I mostly agree with this but I think there were key portions of the series where he went well beyond "help the family" and got lost in the power he was wielding (or seeking). What the show (and Bryan Cranston in particular) did so well was to show WW occasionally getting a glimpse of himself, going too far. Sometimes he pulled back; sometimes he didn't.

Quote:Ramsey does what he does for.... what? Fun? Kicks? To get an erection? And didn't they already have that character with Joffrey, Meryn Trant, and Gregor Clegane? How many sociopaths are there in Westeros? There's only, like, half a million people on the continent!

Ramsey Bolton is a completely evil psychopath; well beyond the worst of Walter White, not to mention anyone else we've seen in Westeros. Although I imagine Joffrey could have rivaled him if: 1) He'd grown old enough and/or 2) he hadn't been held in check by his family, his position and the "civility" (I use that term loosely) of King's Landing.

Admittedly, I am still not done with BB (only half way) so I can only speak for what I've seen so far. No spoilers please!

In terms of Ramsay, I agree he is the WORST! Growing up a bastard, I'm sure Roose didn't care what he did because he had another son as a legitimate heir. Once he died and Ramsay was legitimized, it was far too late. I was shocked, but happy, when Joffrey died. My reaction to Arya taking down Maryn was "You go, girl." I might cry tears of joy if/when Ramsay dies.
