I think it's a no-brainer
Well the obvious answer is C: Arya murdering them both in their sleeps.
I wonder just how much of her list will actually be completed by her. She's only been directly responsible for 1 out of the 10(?) or so.

I think it's a no-brainer Honestly I would not like either because I dont like torture.
Not saying that to appear super moral. Just for me personally it was always strange that people would like to see bad guys suffer, I totally dont tick like that.

Does anyone have any good guesses as to how arya will return to the main storyline?? Best guess I have is that she is going to kill everyone in her nightly prayers, main one being cersei, but she's already fucked up as is, so I don't think that's what's going down... Also, what's the point of her meeting Sam?

Guys, stop confirming that people are correctly "guessing" the plot in the other thread. It just confirms to everyone that the majority of he guesses (Bolton bastard=torturer; Robb dying, Lady Olenna betraying the Lannisters) are true. We can all point out and shame people at the end of the season. Now, though, it's not at all productive and just makes things worse. Let the mods handle it.

Also, what's the point of her meeting Sam? Hm, my best guess is that the credo of the Faceless Men (discard your personality and devote to death, basically) collides with her strong personality, probably with her desire for revenge. Maybe she encounters someone or something related to her family (Rickon on his way back after being rescued from that cannibal island by Davos?) or she just gets kicked out (she already violated the rule of not killing without being ordered to do so by killing that deserter Night's Watch bard).

the walking dead is based on comics and people in that thread rarely post spoilers from the original source material nor do they nudge show watchers to the right conclusions. why should the TV show thread be any different? It's easy to spot whose read the books and to be honest if i was in the same room as the people discretely spoiling things i would kick them in the nuts and tell them for your balls are injured and full of terrors

She's dreams through Nymeria, and Nymeria has her own giant wolf pack now in the Riverlands now I think? Haha, maybe she uses a wolf army and gets Stark revenge on the Freys.
On the other hand, Jaqen is still in the Citadel. They're a part of the same cult now, so maybe they'll meet up somewhere in Westeros and cause some chaos.

Things I have been thinking about:
1.) There are more climbers than Jon, Ygritte, Tormund, and Orell. If you watch the episode and pay attention during this scene, you can see people pulling each other up in the background. http://i.imgur.com/6xFHYYm.jpg
2.) Arya's return. What if she is hired as a Faceless Man by the Iron Bank to kill Stannis or perhaps someone in the Red Keep (i.e. Tommen, where she would have the opportunity to kill Cersei).

There really are so many stories being told in the books where I'm thinking "ok this is interesting and all, but when is it ever going to have any relevance to the core storyline of finding out who will win the war, who will gain the Iron Throne". I mean, look at how much time has been spent developing Daenerys' story, and she still has zero relevance to anyone in Westeros. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be disappointed by the resolutions after so much buildup time.
I feel like Arya will certainly be hired to kill an important character (hired by whom, I have no idea). Probably one of the contenders for the throne. If it's Stannis my guess is she would simply succeed and it wouldn't be too interesting, so I bet it's not him. It would be interesting to see her return to King's Landing with Tommen as her target... would she hesitate to kill a innocent child? Even if it's a Lannister? Would she be distracted by Cersei or someone else?
Daenerys could be the target, in which case I'd think she might be caught and convinced to join their cause. But this is all speculation based on what I think might be predictable... and this series is pretty unpredictable.

i was wondering if the reason Martin telling us about Nymeria still being alive with a pack is that something awesome is going to happen, maybe like the spirit of Robb/eddard warged in to one of those wolves or something like that..

Also, what's the point of her meeting Sam? Arya won't kill Cersei. Cersei will be killed by either Tyrion or Jaime (most likely the latter). Are you sure about that? Here is my theory about the prophecy posted in page 298 but people didn't show interest. Still I think it has some legit points: The prophecy regarding Cercei's destiny stated that she would be choked to death by the valonqar, which means brother. Cercei thought that it referred to her brother Tyrion; people have even suspected the twist that it would be Jaime. I think it will be Stannis. The prophecy didn't stipulate that the killer must be HER brother. And if you link that part to the immediate precedent part: ... "Will the king and I have children?" she asked. Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you.", it will make sense that the Frog meant the valonqar as the King's brother- Stannis, who would deliver his justice to Cercei by choking her.

^ I disagree with Mirri Maz Duur being categorized as an antagonist.

But maybe if Arya puts on the face of a man then she could be a "brother" and thus fulfill the prophecy or whatevs.
My money is on her being hired to kill Jon somehow.

I think Robb is gone for good, since he and his direwolf were both beheaded. I wonder if Nymeria has some connection to Bloodraven or the children of the forest.

Wow, I never thought about any connection between the direwolves and bloodraven. It's interesting because like Ned said, there aren't any direwolves south of the wall. Not only that, how does a direwolf get through the wall even if it'd want to? There aren't any other mentions of any other direwolves in the books I believe. Maybe he planted those six pups there so he can easily keep tabs on the Starks. It could happen, I'm of the camp that Bloodraven wargs commander Mormont's raven. They say he has a thousand eyes and one.

The writers for TWD deviate so far from the source material and are so bad at writing those deviations that it would be damn near impossible to spoil the TV show based on what happened in the comics.

Im starting to suspect Rikon only purpouse of existense in the plot is to be the one to continue the Stark family line... considering Robb is dead, Bran has more important things that getting someone pregnant going on and Jon is a bastard, and both Arya and Sansa are girls ofc..
|
Jon was legitimized by robb (most likely).
But anyway, at one point GRRM was planning on having a 5 year gap between ASoS and AFfC. That would have given Rickon a chance to grow up a bit and be meaningful.
