Full spoilers for Game of Thrones continue below.
Game of Thrones' "Battle of the Bastards" forced fans to say goodbye to one of the last remaining Starks: Rickon. In the clash between Jon Snow and the Bolton army, Ramsay used Rickon as a pawn to draw out Jon and execute his master battle plan.
Jon's forces ended up pulling through thanks to a last minute save by Sansa Stark and the Army of the Vale, but Rickon didn't make it out alive. To memorialize the youngest Stark, I got on the phone with actor Art Parkinson to talk about what the character meant to him.
IGN: There's an interesting scene in the episode where Sansa is very practical and realizes that Rickon is basically dead once Ramsay got him. Do you think Rickon realized that as well?
Parkinson: Judging from Rickon's last scene, I would say the way Ramsay did it was unexpected. He is quite an optimistic character, and he was always going to put up a good fight. Whenever he was told, "Run to your brother," and he threw that little look back, I think it was disbelief. Then he said, "Go on," and he was like, "OK, I'm going to do it." Then it was fear and dedication to the sprint and getting to his brother as soon as he saw the bow.
IGN: The Internet had a lot of thoughts about how Rickon ran in a straight line instead of serpentine.
Parkinson: Yeah. [laughs] The zig-zag.
IGN: What do you think about that? Do you think it would have made a difference?
Parkinson: I think that's a question for the writers. As for my role, I need to stick to the script.
