Of course they have liberties because he doesn't show up for the entire book and gets tortured off screen but what we see now is still a little weird. I would have understood if Bolton's bastard cut him loose to have the satisfaction of catching him again. But killing a lot of his own men to do so? Or were they from someplace else? In that case they should have made that clearer.

Loved the Blackfish, by the way! And the musical choice after the last second big bang was pretty hilarious too.
