Rickon was like GRRM's wildcard. He was there if he needed him to do something later on. It's his books so he can do whatever he wants

maybe GrrM thought that 5 kids is better than 4 kids. Well, maybe he will do something before his death. But not every character in the story where you have a hundreds of characters can serve some great purpose. He was there for Bran's character development in S1-3, and I don't know what he will do in S6. I just think that super book fans have great expectations of him, because they created so many theories about him after aDwD. For the majority of show watchers and book readers he is just some random, non important character. For a long time my dream ending for the North was Rickon coming back from Skagos as a psychotic cannibal and growing up to be worse lord of Winterfell than Ramsay, capturing nobles and feasting on their meat, forcing lords to eat their kin and shit like that, making the Northeners despise House Stark for generations and miss the days the Boltons rules the North. Now I'm starting to accept his possible death, so I guess I'll have to settle for Sansa as Queen in the North or something. Those are kinds of theories from super book fans I was talking about.

I just think that super book fans have great expectations of him, because they created so many theories about him after aDwD. For the majority of show watchers and book readers he is just some random, non important character. If he actually did something in S6, that would be better, IMO. But I'm not counting on that. I just find it nonsensical to include a character that could have easily been cut, especially if his purpose is just to die to make an impact on other characters. If he had his own little arc, no matter how small, that would be better. His inclusion should be an end in itself. What I'm saying here is that I'm critical of shaggydog stories in general. I just don't see how the story benefits from that. I we were talking about some normal show I would agree. But here you have hundreds of characters. Some of them will be created just for emotional impact. I don't know. What purpose Myrcella had? Or Lommy? Or Hot Pie?

Well, all of them actually had dreams and wishes of their own, no matter how small the role was. It's a bit like those prologues and epilogues GRRM writes. All of these characters die, but for the short time we read about them, we get to know their thoughts, motivations etc. They have their own mini-arc so to speak. The show has tried to do that as well as possible. E.g. Karl Tanner. We got to know him for the short time he was on screen. Rickon was just... there. Maybe that changes in S6 and then I'll be fine with that. But if it doesn't, I will not like it, but alas, it's just a small detail I will criticise. Nothing too dramatic.

Exactly, Rickon has never gotten any character development, neither in the show nor in the books. Just a waste of a character, hence my hopes for an interesting future for him

And here we witness how the mind of Nezzer works at writing a great shaggydog story ... "Ha ha ha, wasn't that just magnificent? I was worried it was getting a little dodgy in the middle part, but then that finale... Wow!"

I think it will change, otherwise his death won't have any impact on the audience.
