+ Show Spoiler + like how daenerys got unsullied or backwater war or the shadow of mellisandre or the stabbing of jon or the red wedding or the assassination of tywin lannister or the events in dorne or...or...or...or but i'm kind of hopeful because they were largely fateful to the book and successful in many regards. btw any news from the new book? | ||

Done on purpose to draw out that plotline in later seasons or simply excluded because they were deemed not important? I have a hard time believing that later but I'm interested in what other people think. | ||

I don't understand why Martin get so famous for killing off characters. Compared to authors like Steven Ericson, Martin is a soft-hearted man. | ||

I feel like both of these things are pretty pivotal in the Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon theories and the show skipped over them. Done on purpose to draw out that plotline in later seasons or simply excluded because they were deemed not important? I have a hard time believing that later but I'm interested in what other people think. That plot line really has nothing to do with the main story. Well not yet anyway. Given what happened at the end of DwD who knows if we'll ever find out. I really can't see HBO doing a lot of the little intricacies of the whole series. There are so many little things that could be explored, that would be awesome but they probably won't have time for. The Tower of Joy dream in the book sure was a great way to start a chapter. You admire it more throughout the series as you find out how much of a boss Ser Arthur Dayne is. | ||

I feel like if anything, the show will just make it obvious when the time comes. In the book, all the hints for R+L=J are so subtle, theres no way they'd pull that off in the show. They'd probably take the same path as they did with Renly being gay. | ||

Do you think of Margaery as an "innocent little girl" or a scheming crazybitch who will be on the same level as her grandma the Queen of Thorns eventually? I don't see much innocence. | ||

Do you think of Margaery as an "innocent little girl" or a scheming crazybitch who will be on the same level as her grandma the Queen of Thorns eventually? I don't see much innocence. Well do you think she was actually being a little cheating whore on Tommen? I don't. I believed that she was innocent and wasn't fuckin everything in sight. One possibility is her and Loras might have a thing... who knows. She definitely seems like a schemer though. | ||

She is wary of the northmen under Roose Bolton. Especially since they cooperate with Vargo Hoat. But this is not very well explained. I think she just senses that she shouldn't trust them. | ||

I hate when people do this. The only main chracters he has killed off yet are Ned, Catelyn and possibly + Show Spoiler + Jon Robb was not a POV character and thus he was not a main character. He was simply and important character. Besides, I'm pretty sure the 5 biggest characters are Dany, Tyrion, Jon, and Bran, and maybe Arya to a lesser extent. And only one of them is in motral danger atm | ||

@Eris: I'd argue that Arya is more important than Bran. Bran's got some interesting shit going on, but he's had like... 3? chapters the past two books. I guess that doesnt neccesarily mean that he's less important, but I just don't see him affecting things tooooooooooooooo much in the future. Whereas it looks like Arya is getting into a role to do exactly that. | ||

Have you read ADWD? + Show Spoiler + Bran's basically being set up to be a supermage kind of guy, or as I've heard a lot, he's going to be leading the Others. Arya is just going to kill somebody and then decide she doesn't want to be nobody anymore. | ||
