Plot twists you did not expect. (Major spoilers!)


Spurned Suitor

Recommended Posts

ASOIAF:

  • Shae's betrayal of Tyrion and subsequent murder at his hands. (Can't wait to see this in the show. Powerful stuff.)
  • Theon surviving and his subsequent transformation. (I thought he was probably just killed. Never anticipated his dramatic new arc.)
  • The Red Wedding. From a narrative perspective it was a huge risk to take, but I'm glad GRRM did it.
  • Varys killing Kevan.
  • Connecting the dots when it came to Littlefinger and realizing he is the most insidious character we've met.

Dunk & Egg:

  • Baelor Breakspear dying.
  • Ser Eustace and Lady Rohanne--blew my mind a little bit.

They set the betrayal of Sansa pretty well with Shae in the show.

Well, obviously excluding the obvious - Red Wedding, Ned's beheading, etc.

I absolutely did not see Reek coming. I missed the bit during the Red Wedding when Theon was still alive, so that was something of a double whammy.

Sam killing an Other (yay!).

Lysa getting pushed out the Moon Door.

Speaking of which, pretty much everything in Sansa's last Storm chapter was a whopper.

Stoneheart.

Aegon being alive.

How Oberyn vs. Gregor went down.

And many, many, many more.

This is why predicting Winds is so impossible.

  • The Tywin-Tyrion-Shae incident at the end of ASOS
  • Lysa Arryn's death
  • When Cersei's plan backfired in AFFC
  • Jon Snow at the end of ADWD (hope he makes it, though!)
  • Sam killing the Other (I swear, I actually got misty eyed and said "You go, Sam!!")
