Especially as his sister had a messenger present. That seems extremely unlikely to me. Why would his sister, who appears very loyal to her father have a "savior" present? The Bolton bastard burned Winterfell and captured Theon is my prediction. Robb was informed that Winterfell was already burned and the Iron Islanders escaped when they arrived, which is clearly not true. I get capturing and torturing Theon, but why they burned Winterfell escapes me.

Feels like the main focus of the story is slowly shifting from the wars of the aged to how their offspring carry it on. Seems like there's a continuous shift towards youth, now with Bran taking more importance and presumably Rickon will eventually as well, otherwise he's been completely useless to the show so far. Because of this, I predict Tywin and Caitlin both die in this season. Probably Cersei too, just to throw Joffrey into the same situation. Sadly, I predict he doesn't kick the bucket  I think Joffrey might die, perhaps so we can see more of his younger brother (I don't even know his name) although I really hope he doesn't. He's a really good character to hate, and his relationship with Margery is growing very interesting. | ||

Did anyone else laugh at Gendry's incredulity when asking Arya about Jaquen's victims? I'm convinced they put this into the show as an homage to all those fans who wondered why Arya chose such unlikely characters to kill. He - like every normal person - is asking the same damn thing. These assassins clearly cost a ton of money to hire, or the streets of the 7 kingdoms would be littered with corpses from infallible assassins. (You're telling me no one's thought of hire an assassin to kill high-priority targets like Joffrey, Tywin, Robb, or the Baratheons?) Either that or have some limitation we haven't seen. As for death prediction of the "older" generation, you have to include the Night's Watch leadership and maybe the wildings. I feel like Jon and the rest of those guys can't shine unless the current leader dies. I don't know if Tywin can die, though maybe Tyrion does something? Not sure how the Lannisters would fare with weak leadership, since the other Lannisters we've seen don't seem like commander material. Maybe Tywin dies and Jaime takes over? Which is weird since, even if he gets free, he's a kingsguard anyway. Also Cersei comes across as more and more predictable every episode. Heck any one of those guys could die, including Jaime and Tyrion, though I feel like their stories have a lot of room to be developed. Catelynn, Robb, and his wife are in serious shit, since like his bannermen said marrying that girl is a huge mistake and seems to be diverting the purpose of the war. Someone pointed out on the map how close Harrenhall is to King's Landing, and I guess he doesn't feel there are enough men to attack the city now. Also isn't the reason he was supposed to marry a Frey girl, because the Freys hold one of the most important passages between Winterfell and the rest of the kingdom? The problem is if Robb dies the entire northern army is in shambles, and the war would come down to just two parties. May make sense for a contingent of his men to betray him, and he flees with a smaller group of loyalists. Arya, Brann, and Ricard have too much development left to die. I expect the really young guys - Ricard, Joffrey's little brother, and the young Arryn. | ||

Also, does anyone know if divorce is actually permissible in either the northern religion or the mainstream 'seven divines' faith? Robb might be forced to simply divorce that one chick. | ||

This show is fantastic- just watched all of season 1&2 last weekend with some friends for a GOT marathon in order to start the new season. I had never touched the series before then, so I'm glad I finally gave it a chance. I am planning to try the novels soon. My only gripe is that the guy may die before finishing the series, at the rate he's going (heard this from a friend who was probably joking, but ~4 years between so many books is quite a lot) That's what I want to see because I love Jon and Dany; but at the same time, it seems a little too fairy tale for this series. Two young people who have basically been exiled from their society (family, in Snow's case) coming together to fight against the greater threat (The White Walkers). Doesn't help that both Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke are freaking hot. | ||

His mother releasing Jaime didn't help, and redirecting his army to attend a funeral (which is how his men see it) seems bizarre too. He essentially has no home to return to, no way to get home if the Freys are unhappy, didn't push forward to King's Landing (which is now solidified under Tywin), and are now stranded with thousands of men far away from home with no clear sense of purpose. Well they don't have to go thru the Frey's to get home. They could just go north up the King's Road from Harrenhal since Robb brough his whole army there. Map of Westeros: + Show Spoiler + Of course now it looks like they are going back west the way they came towards Riverrun for Catelyn's father's funeral. | ||

In story stuff: seems pretty clear that Robb inherited only his fathers war field command. His life time choices are clearly inherited from his mother. Still, I dont see why the Stark noblemen are so mad. Better to rest and feed in the Kingdom of their ally instead of marching around on hungry stomachs, looking for a fight the Lannisters are wisely not going to give. Also, based on the map posted, the invasion of Winterfel by Ironborn continues to make less and less sense. Clearly Seagard, the Twins and the Northern half of hte Lanister land is where they should have gone, seems like. Finally, I still dont really see why the Tyrells -- or in fact any lord -- continues to be loyal to the crown. Why not declare independence, the Lannister-Crownlands clearly alone cant even handle Rob so how would they handle the other kingdoms just leaving? And why is Robb still marching around pointlessly, clearly the Lannisters wont fight him because they realized he will beat them on a field of battle so why not march to Riverrun and hold there. After all, if Joffrey really wants to claim to be the King of Seven Kingdoms then he will have to come to them. And otherwise he is just a Lannister king who happened to annex crown lands. | ||

I think taking Winterfell was more Theon's desire to seek approval from his father/sister than any concrete plan. Winterfell is far away from the islands and would probably be a pain for them to hold. The Tyrells are probably similar to the Lannisters, in that they support who they feel has the best chance of hanging on to the crown. Didn't they remain neutral until the Battle of Blackwater was in favor of the Lannisters? | ||

The choice between Starks and Lannisters was pretty obvious. You mean genetically inherited from their mother? Tyrion killed the mother by being born ;O | ||
