Lock Arya in the dungeons in King’s Landing. She’ll be eating fish head soup and sleeping on the floor.

I like the thought of Snowflake learning he committed treason for Jeyne. That traitor is not going to get any acceptance from the north.

He stuck his long nose into Ramsay’s business. The loss of the sword was not his fault but the harm he caused at the Wall will have long term consequences for the whole kingdom.

What consequence do you expect? It wasn’t theft. It’s a victory trophy for the Lannisters. That’s how people see it. A writ of attainder was signed and it took away everything from the poor Starks. The kids deserve better but Jon, Robb, and Sansa aren’t blameless in the Stark fall.

Brandon + Lyanna = Jon and Arthur + Lyanna = Jon are interesting matches. The second gives him an opening to claim Dawn even if he is a bastard.

Separate the sin from the offense that got him in trouble. Sin is a moral trespass. It’s not the cause of his fall. It was the offense of oath-breaking. Of course killing Rickard K made him weaker but it’s a distant cause.

Killing the bannerman who went to battle for him is bad. But yeah, it’s the betrayal of the Freys that did him in.

Only Balon from your list would count. Walder won, Robb lost. The man who should let go of his family’s defeat is Jon. He had a more important job to do at the wall and messed up because he wanted to destroy his old family’s enemies.

I’ve no sympathy for Ramsay, Wayman, Jaime Lannister, and Jon Snow.

Tully madness is now on the table for discussion when talking about the sanity of Catelyn's kids.

Only if your name is Jon Snow. Rhaegar’s illegitimate son is the one most likely to.

Placing Arya with Jon is not the cure for her emotional illness. Bitter with bitter just produces more toxicity. A cure for Arya is not available in their time.

Cat passed this tendency for insanity to her kids. Lysa’s own son is suspect.

Dany is very mature for a girl who would have recently gotten her driver’s license in our time. Obviously she is smarter than Robb and Jon.

I don’t accept the theory of Jon having been fathered by Rhaegar. If I’m wrong and it’s true, Jon is at bigger risk because of the gender phenomenon you pointed out.

Yup. And take the lands from the despicable Tullys and give it to the closest kin to the Darrys.

Arya’s mental illness is what will put her in a mental health institution. You can forgive the crime if you want. I won’t. But at least admit that no society will allow Arya to be free. Sure, medication and therapy will be prescribed. But she will be treated in an institution.

Arya has crossed the threshold between good and evil. She's on the evil side now. Bodies will pile up as she leaves behind a long trail of blood back to the north. She needs to be stopped and sentenced to pay for her crimes. One of the victims on that list might pass greyscale to Arya.

Aliser is genuine. He fought for his king and should have been handsomely rewarded for it. He deserved a lot better out of life.

That there are places with scary forms of life is unquestioned. But Balerion would go to a place that has significance to him. Valyria. Some real world species return to their place of birth to spawn. Perhaps Balerion felt a calling to return to his and mate. A female dragon could have survived the doom. It would be wonderful if Drogon’s egg came from that pair.

Our favorite young hero will take the long way to Westeros. Her arrival will start the end of the long night, and Bran. Ghost and Jon will be dead by then.

Agreed

I don’t think Jon Snow will be hatching dragons. If we are to rank the candidates for Azor Ahai, Daenerys Targaryen will be at the top. The next is a very distant second. That would be Aegon . I feel comfortable in my opinion that Daenerys is Azor Ahai. Is it 100% certain? No, but the story left little room for AA to be anybody else. The first post is a good one but hardly needed given the weight of the evidence to support Daenerys. The hatching of the dragons is only one. The prominence of the number 3 in her character arc and the death of her spouse are others.
