Do you agree that Kraznys mo Nakloz is Near Pure Evil?
Son of Man replied to boltons are sick's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Kraznys was a slaver. Countless suffered and died because of him. He's pure evil. -

Lady Dustin and revenge
Son of Man replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I feel the need to speak up for Catelyn. She was a good woman during her life. The one exception was killing Jinglebells. The young fellow was an innocent. She got the punishment she lives in now. But with that one exception she was a good woman most of her life. She was not in the habit of killing or harming people. She went insane at the last moment and rage took over. She should and is being held accountable for the murder. It's just not fair to label the living Catelyn as vengeful while she was alive. Lady Stoneheart, on the other hand, is. I'd say LSH is no longer Catelyn. It was an awful crime but given suitable time in the hell she is living in. I'd want her to stop murdering the Freys. I am hoping for an end to Lady Stoneheart's suffering. An apt ending for Stoneheart is by Dragon fire after receiving forgiveness from the Dragon Queen. Arya, Doran, and Barbrey are indeed header for tragic endings. They take their emotions too far and will waste many lives in trying to get revenge. They're so sick they can't judge what's fair anymore. -
Tyrion had a lot of chapters and many people assume that means he is a main character and a good guy. Indeed Tyrion is a main character but he is not a good guy. The 3 mains are Daenerys, Bran, and Tyrion. Tyrion is what the author would term as a gray character. A gray character can be a protagonists if he is a lesser evil than his adversary. It is situational and the label is not permanent. Tyrion is the protagonists in any fight between him and Jaime.

What about Heartworm for Bran? Bran is the disease in the heart of his wolf like the parasitic worm that can enter the hearts of domestic dogs.

Part II Bran's dreams were coming from the living weirwood tree. There was no interaction. It was like reading a book from page to page. His is in reverse chronological timeline. Dany was interacting with her visions. The undying were showing her visions of things in the past and what could come in the future. Hers may be randomly timed. The naked girl and the dwarfs could have taken place thousands of years past.

Jon Snow was the worst leader ever to lead the watch. The only reason to include Jon in any discussion of leadership is as a cautionary tale of what happens when an incompetent son of a noble lord is given a position for which he was obviously not qualified. Jon is another Weymar. An arrogant young man with more bravery than brains who ignored the advice of smarter people. Dany usually weighs advice carefully and generally chooses the right decisions. Dany is the better leader.

Everybody who has been brought back is incomplete. It's like jumpstarting a car. The battery is still bad and the broken parts are there. The car is running on borrowed time. Like Catelyn, Jon, and what may happen to Arya. The only one who has brought back better (BBB) is Dany when she called the dragons back from death. Her dragons came back strong and very healthy.

Ominous tidings there. We have seen this happen to somebody before. To Weymar at the beginning. Jon is just like Weymar. They were arrogant, temperamental, and not fit to lead. Jon becoming a wight is a bigger threat to mankind because he will learn to warg. An angry wight who can warg wolves is a threat to all in the north. A bastard meeting between Jon and his wolves with Ramsay's Girls can liven things up in the humdrum story in the north.

People would not trust the Starks if they knew the ugly truth about that family. Take Lyanna. The Starks were able to hide the truth, or lie if you will. She betrayed Robert. The Starks hid that very important detail and led everyone to believe, including Robert, that Lyanna was kidnapped. Lord Walder learned the hard way what it meant to trust the Starks.

The Broken Heart is Sansa. Bran is the Heartworm.

I chose to omit Arya from my list at "Characters who suffered but for who you have no sympathy" discussion. Indeed she has suffered but in no way do those experiences justify the murders of the insurance underwriter and the black brother. It is fair to extend Arya a small amount of mercy because of her mental illness.

He lost a lot of blood. Pale is also the messenger of death. Jon the Pale Wraith who will haunt the halls of Castle Black, murder the Brothers, and become the servant of the Others.

The scenes may have been ordered in a straight time line chronologically or maybe not. They are raw data coming from the dead. The dead no longer experience the passage of time because they have died. The past and the future are the same to them. Time is no longer moving. @The Gizzard of Oz Daenerys came to find one answer. The answer to how she can take her kingdom back from Robert Baratheon. Everyone of the scenes are pieces of the answer to that problem. The three treasons, husbands, fires, and the identity of the impostors were revealed. Revealed to the reader but Daenerys will have to slowly discover. Treasons. Jaime, Walder and Roose, and Jon Snow are the treasonous people. Jaime murdered King Aerys for blood, gold, and love. The same things which motivated Walder and Roose to betray Robb Stark. Walder did it for family, the blood. Roose for money, silver or gold makes no difference. They were Tyrin's men and serving the Lannister gold. Walder loved his family and Robb insulted them. Jon Snow loved Arya and betrayed the Night's Watch. Jon disgraced himself for blood and for love. Those are the treasons which will come up and present decision points for Daenerys in Westeros. Politics. She will need to navigate the thorny political issues surrounding Jaime, Walder, and Jon. What they did left a deep scar in the fabric of Westeros. Forgive or punish or maybe something in between. The fires signify the most important turning points in her life. The silver mare jumping the fire gave her the confidence she needed to deal with a tough marriage and gave her a new title, Khaleesi. Drogo's cremation added Azor Ahai and Mother Of Dragons to her identity. The fire in Astapor made her Mhysa the Liberator. The Ironborn gift of the Armada will add another powerful weapon to those she already possesses. Cremation released Drogo's soul from his human body. The same thing will happen after she cremates Aegon and Jon. Their souls will be released so they can move on to the next stage of their lives. Drogo became Drogon. I don't know what that is for Aegon but it is the Direwolf for Jon.

Bran will drop the Hammer on Daenerys!
Son of Man replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I don't think so. Daenerys and her dragons are more than likely going to set Bran and his mangy wolf aflame for the evil the boy greenseer will bring to Westeros. Bran is on track to be one of the most evil characters.
