The Stark Siblings
minus Rickonin Empire Magazine (May 2013)Harington: It is a tribute to how well Nina Gold has cast this show, and the producers, that they not only cast very high-quality actors but also really down-to-earth people. Everyone is very grounded. Also in the cases of us, this is one of our first big gigs, so it is a shared experience. It’s a cliche, but we’re all on the journey together.
Madden: You are growing up together. Isaac, what are you, 13 now?
Wright: (Sitting up straight) 13. (Now 14)
Madden: You have changed a lot. I have changed a lot since 21, starting the show. Kit has changed a lot.
Williams: It would be nice to see the boys more. We see Isaac, but the older guys we don’t see so much.
Turner: They always felt like older brothers that have gone to uni.
Have you had any Stark nights out?
Madden: (Considering this as a good idea) No. But we’ve had Stark nights at the hotel. In the bar. Which is quite nice, when we all get together off-screen, because we don’t have that in the show. Like a secret pay-off: have a chat and some food. Sometimes Kit and me have had… nights out.
Harington: (To Wright) Do you have nights out with Sophie and Maisie?
(Wright just stares at him.)
Harington: (Laughs) Maybe not. Don’t want to hang out with the girls?
Turner: (Laughs) We go wild.

Lord Eddard had tried to play the father from time to time, but to Theon he had always remained the man who’d brought blood and fire to Pyke and taken him from his home. As a boy, he had lived in fear of Stark’s stern face and great dark sword.
#look i mean i don’t care how much you like the starks #those battles were fought on the islands #this little boy watched stark men slaughter his family #lay waste to his home #and was snatched away by this man #of course he can’t be loyal to him#of course he will always fear him #and his affections for this family are so deeply rooted in stockholm syndrome and survival instinct and #the human need to be loved #and this is especially interesting when you see him reflecting at dreadfort because #hes been so royally fucked with his whole life #that the thing that brings him comfort is to look back on the people he was terrified of who never really loved him #and idolize them and build them up as this great thing #and blame himself for not being good enough to these people that robbed him of his family and his home#theon greyjoy is so wholly damaged that he attaches his love to anyone and anything #just to have some bright memory to hold onto

Show watcher’s view of Theon scenes in Season 3
This post from /r/hbogameofthrones sub-Reddit tells me that show watchers have interesting things to say and they too can get the Theon story arc at the point it is in after E07.
“The thing he leverages to psychologically torture Theon is the same thing that has given real-life people our gods (“Why do we exist?”), our science (“Why does this happen this way?”), our philosophy (“Why is this right or wrong?”) and a myriad of other important and uniquely human things. All of these are ways of coping with our endless, obsessive questioning of “why” everything.
The torture of Theon shows that no amount of pain inflicted on your physical body can rival the damage of taking away your sense of meaning, your understanding of your experiences and surroundings. And showing this brings about the more useful implication, which is the immeasurable positive value of having meaning, of seeking understanding and achieving a sense of purpose in life.”
The next time I hear somebody say that show only fans don’t have anything valuable to contribute or that they lack the ability to fully grasp the story, I am going to refer back to this because wow.

Do you know what the realm is? It’s the thousand blades of Aegon’s enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over until we forget that it’s a lie...Chaos isn’t a pit, chaos is a ladder.
