  1. Joffrey was young and spoiled. He wasn't a bright candle but he was not as stupid as his parents, Jaime and Cersei. It was poor decision to let the Faith rearm. You can exclude Cersei if you want. Jaime has his own manner of stupidity.
  2. Sansa and Arya. The Tullys are passing the gene down on the females. The Targaryens passed it down through their males.
  3. If or when Sansa kills Robin it will be because she chose to do it. She will if she thinks it might bring Harry closer to her. Harry is mean like Joffrey and that is what Sansa likes.
  4. SmK is my favorite Ghiscari. I believe his loyalty to Dany is genuine and he can be trusted to enforce her will. The Brazen Beasts is a fine component for an Anti-Terrorists force. It was a great idea to hide their faces while they maintain order within the city of Meereen. They are my second favorite of Dany's military forces. The Unsullied are my favorite, then the Brazen Beasts, and the Dothraki. That could change if the cadets and recruits in training were to prove their loyalty and dedication.
  5. I like reading the POVs of the characters which I like. This is character-driven, coming of age story. My favorite of all is Daenerys. I find myself enjoying the stories in Slaver's Bay and the Dothraki Sea much more than the one in Westeros. Daenerys Brienne Quentyn Barristan Among the non-povs, I like Greyworm, Missandei, and Belwas. Goofy Belwas is a really fun character.
  6. The biggest threat to the Freys are Arya and the White Walkers. Arya will attempt to murder all of the Freys. The White Walkers will get through the wall and might make it to the riverlands with the help of the Starks. Most of the Freys do not live in the Frey castles and are therefore safe from Arya's wrath. The double threat of a crazed assassin named Arya and the army of White Walkers will kill many of the Freys but they will not go extinct. Roslin. Arya is blinded by hate. Poor Roslin will not receive Mercy from Arya.
  7. House Stark has a bad reputation in the South. They are known for treason and rebellion. Eddard confessed to treason and the people reacted with hostility. The public may not have liked their mercurial King Joffrey but they also condemn treason. We the readers are privileged to know the reason why Eddard tried to take control of the kingdom away from Cersei and Joffrey. But the commoners and the nobility are not. They only know what they heard and what they witnessed. It is also very much in doubt whether the Starks will be able to prove that Joffrey was not a Baratheon and thus was not the legal heir. Catelyn Stark is known as the Lady who drew the lion into battle when she ordered the arrest of Tyrion. She also murdered an innocent boy at the Red Wedding. Sansa is forever tainted as an accomplice to King Joffrey's murder. The Starks will never be able to prove that Jaime Lannister had tried to kill Bran. There are only two people alive who can salvage *some* of the Stark reputation and honor. Jaime and Cersei Lannister. Cersei has not done so for understandable if not selfish reasons. Jaime has had many opportunities to help salvage the Starks' public image and reputation but he has not done it. Will Jaime confess the needed information to redeem the Starks? *Some of the reputation can be salvaged. Perhaps Eddard was right to displace Cersei and Joffrey. Jaime tried to kill Bran Stark and that was an insult to guest rights. Let me repeat, Jaime broke guest rights. Sansa knew nothing about the assassination of Joffrey until it happened. But the fact that Robb rebelled and Jon broke his vows at the Wall, those are not redeemable. *
  8. Arya will follow the same arc as her mother.
  9. Grazdan the Great and his descendants, yes. These descendants of Old Ghis take the prize. But we need to wait until we read about Mantarys. In Westeros, the Greyjoys, Lannisters, Boltons. Baratheons, Starks have had more than the average share of evil.
  10. Correct, the author has not yet revealed what the original plan was. Theorists with many biases love to spin tales but the answer is we do not yet know. What is known and clear is none of their original plans, whatever they may be, matter now. The hatching of her Dragons, and her rise to become Azor Ahai, made Daenerys the most important as well as the strongest claimant to her father's Iron Throne. Her identity as Princess Daenerys Targaryen, Rightful Ruler of Westeros, cannot be doubted. No other claimant can prove their identity as a Targaryen with any reasonable degree of certainty.
  11. The old kings were without doubt talking to Dany directly. I can't say Bran was talking to Theon.
  12. Daenerys, her dragons, her Unsullied, and her Dothraki will be well-prepared when they arrive in Westeros. Dany's armies will be well-provisioned and better trained than any army in Westeros. They will come upon a desperate land hungering for leadership. Having suffered under the incompetence of the Baratheons, Greyjoys, Robb Stark, Jon Snow, and the Lannisters, the people will be in desperate need of Dany's leadership. The few remaining people who are still alive after the White Walkers have killed the population will be beg Dany for help.
  13. I think there will be many people who will have a role in saving the living from the Others and their Stark servants. Dany will be the main hero but there will be others as well. She is already confirmed as Azor Ahai after having fulfilled all of the requirements for the role. Bran will be the corrupted halfwood human who will support the invasion of the Others. The ending battle will be Dany and her dragons saving the living from the corrupted Bran and his legion of White Walkers.
  14. Sansa is hopeless in math. She didn't see the consequences of going to Cersei with her dad's plans.
  15. Jon was assigned to the stewards and that is a good place where the officers can keep watch over him. He was just too arrogant to appreciate it. She will be. There will be few of the Westerosi left after the war of the five kings. I believe they will have to cross over and migrate to Essos where Daenerys will begin a new Great Empire.
  16. Sansa doesn't have the brains to put together a plan for herself. She is dependent on those who want to use her as a pawn for their own games. It's Sansa's lack of brains and her selfishness which will make her do something like this.
  17. Arya, Bran, and Jon are of the dark night. They will help the darkness cover the people of Westeros.
  18. He attacked King's Landing. Actions speak louder than words. He wants the power of a king at least. That in itself is not corrupt. What offended me about him is pretending to be Azor Ahai. He will be exposed as one of the three lies though. The first of the lies according to the prophecy given to Daenerys.
  19. People die during a rebellion and the Starks started it. Robb and his banners knew the risk but they decided to go to war anyway. There are enough suffering inflicted on the Freys to avenge a violation of custom. The sons of the lord of the house have been systematically and cruelly murdered by LSH and her bitter band of troublemakers. Daenerys Targaryen is not going to approve the murder of the Frey family. She may agree to the executions of Black Walder and Lame Lothar though.
  20. I agree. A swordsman is not going to defeat the White Walkers. The kings of old, the ones with glowing swords, failed. It will take dragons to defeat the White Walkers.
  21. Daenerys Targaryen and Bran Stark are the Sun and the Moon. She is the sunlight and Bran is the dark of night. Just as the Sun and the Moon do not occupy the same sky at the same time, Daenerys and Bran can't share space. It's the age old Sun and Moon chasing each other across the sky. Azor Ahai chased the darkness and it fled. Daenerys will chase away Bran's darkness to return the light to Westeros.
  22. This Is Known The empire either included the city or traded with them. Perhaps each of the families ruled a territory and each specialized in a particular gem found locally.
  23. Bran is not a leader but Daenerys is the best of the leaders. Jon was a poor leader at the wall. He is not the one to lead the forces of the living against the white walkers. Jon will come back wightified by the white walkers. Man will never follow him.
