1. Ramsay Bolton Killing Osha

Oh, Ramsay Bolton is so evil, I can't believe he killed that wildling woman we haven't seen in three years. This totally changes my opinion of him.

Did we really need another Ramsay murder scene, coming so soon after he'd killed his father, mother-in-law, and baby half-brother? What purpose did it really serve, especially when the character he killed had been out of the loop for so long, and only brought back in the previous episode?

We already know that Ramsay is a monster, but if they keep on showing scenes like this it's going to continue making him more of a one-note character. The letter alone is effective enough, and while Osha's an expendable character (if a likeable one) this wasn't really necessary. If we're headed to a major battle for the North, then it'd be good to see Ramsay doing something other than making rather easy, cruel kills.
