It seems kinda dangerous to say any character has plot invulnerability, given how the story has gone so far...

Considering is dany we are talking about, I doubt they will kill her. Ever. And if they do they will doing something special about it. I mean there is doubts that this story is about her and john snow at this point?

Well the show does thrive on power vacuum's, so I wouldn't put it past them to kill off Dany at some point.

For all we know, she'll get murdered and her dragons will go on a rampage.
Isn't Mance's army now stuck behind the White Walkers? they destroyed the Crows at the 'Fist' and he stumbled across the remains, seems they would be between his forces and the wall..

That's definitely plausible but only when the dragons are huge enough to be roaming menaces that can't be easily killed at all.
There mere thought of Dany dying at some point upsets me, she's felt like the main protagonist this whole time! =p
Whatever the intentions were behind the bastard's ruse with Theon (Gaining respect from his father for bringing a valued escaped prisoner back into the fold? I have no idea) he did manage to gain the information that the Stark boys escaped into hiding, so there is that.
The ending of this episode was so sick even if it was totally predictable.

Yes.Anyone who appears to be the main protagonist cant die. Ned Stark agrees with you.
The fact that she hasn't had an impact yet, is the one able to control her dragons, hasn't yet met any other main characters and that her death wouldn't have an impact makes her pretty much immune for the time being.
The Ned Stark argument doesn't apply there, Ned had his role, did his stuff and his death was a pretty big pivotal moment. However, I'd agree the other characters aren't safe.

To see where his true intentions/feelings laid. They explained it in the episode. He was actually never on Theon's side and it was all just to troll him.
When do they explain it? How did the servant know he would reveal all of that personal info before they back to the dungeon? He didn't exactly probe for it, theon just shared it on his own. And how did he know those captors wouldn't kill him before he got the information he wanted? Seems a bit over-elaborate just to get that piece of information..
Especially given Theon gave up that information literally seconds before he led him back to the torture room.

He doesn't count, Sean Bean was a teltale sign that ned stark was going to die.
I'm so sad the Lord Commander died, I wish he had actually strangled that guy to death before he dropped himself. I knew what was going to happen at the end but it was still really cool to see. Are the nearby cities (that she could potentially sack) also full of slave soldiers? Or just ordinary slaves?
People feeling bad for Theon.. He had 2 orphans killed which where personally appointed to a couple loyal to Ned Stark and the couple was so incredibly happy to have the children. they were delighted, probably really nice people with a great desire to have children and the orphans having loving parents. He had them killed and burned. What a horrible thing to do! . Also that evil guy freeing Theon and handing him back to his original captors at least saved Theon from being gangraped by a bunch of soldiers. I can't imagine what's worse, being gangraped or being captured and tortured. Both are horrible fates. . Anyway he WAS saved from gangrape though.

I guess this would be a spoiler book if I answer that ? Its more like... a lore spoiler, no story spoiler but if you want the answer ill give it in MP.
