Like winter, spoilers are coming. Do not keep reading if you didn't see last week's episode of "Game of Thrones."
The hit HBO series said goodbye to King Robert Baratheon way back in Season 1, but a new fan theory says he may be impacting Westeros from beyond the grave. According to the theory posted on Reddit, the "curse of Robert Baratheon" started in the series' very first episode when Robert first arrived at Winterfell. All of the Starks are there to meet him, and Robert hugs or touches several of them — namely Ned, Catelyn, Robb and Rickon.
If this "Game of Thrones" theory is true, it came to fruition last week with the death of Rickon at the hands of Ramsay Bolton. That would also mean Jon Snow is safe, since he wasn't present when Robert arrived. However, Robert did ask Arya her name and said a few words to Bran and Sansa. But considering Arya has been beaten up a few times, gone blind, and been repeatedly stabbed, Sansa has been brutalized by multiple men, and Bran has lost the use of his legs, they may be off the hook.
Rickon may have died in this season's penultimate episode, but fans finally got to see justice served when Ramsay gets beaten to a bloody pulp by Jon, and then fed to his own hounds while still alive.
