H Wadsworth Longfellow

We hope Arya gets punished for murder. It is ultimately in the hands of G RR Martin.

Asha is their hope but first she needs to rid herself of Euron and Theon.

Revenge will also backfire on Arya Stark. Revenge seems sweet but it hurts both ways.

It could lead to the ruin of the Martells and Aegon. The main target are the Lannisters but the other families who supported Robert's rebellion are also guilty. The Martells don't have the means to fight them all but Arianne is not good at political and military strategy.

The covert operation to rescue Arya from her marriage to Ramsay. This one thing will be the death of the Nights Watch.

That was awful. Brandon had a lot of time to calm down. He's a very emotional person like his nephew Jon Snow.

The illness is progressing and it is worsening with each killing.

We should first agree on exactly what we mean by diplomacy. Diplomacy occurs between officials conducting affairs of an organization, government, or some legal body. Arya and Sansa cannot be guilty of bad diplomacy because they are not officials because the Starks no longer have the legal right to govern or carry out agreements. Arya's rudeness to Lord Dayne was just that, rude behavior but is not a diplomatic mess up. It might be better to look at a few chosen examples for discussion. Catelyn and Walder were talking in their official capacities and therefore can be judged based on their conduct. Walder was charmingly abrasive and his manners were lacking but can we accuse the old coot of bad diplomacy? It wasn't bad diplomacy from the Freys that caused the problem. It was Robb. Catelyn played her part well and let the words from the old man slide off. The diplomacy from both sides was fine. The Stark son just let his sausage do the thinking and messed it up. Stannis and Renly. I am for the restoration of the Targaryen, Daenerys to be exact, to rule over Westeros. But let's look at the Stannis-Renly negotiations in its own compartment. What could Stannis offer a younger brother who was meaning to take the throne from an older sibling? Sweet words would not smooth this difference. King Viserys III, the Beggar King and his behavior in Vaes Dothrak. KVIII was not the idiot that Robert slandered him. KVIII received the finest of tutoring called real world experience. He managed to keep himself and his vulnerable little sister alive through the harsh world of the east. His problem was emotional not intellectual. He chose to ignore the Dothraki customs and didn't make any effort to learn their language. That was bad diplomacy beneath the mother of mountains. It's bad to engage in negotiations without knowing the other party and he paid with his life. Robb Stark and Walder Frey. It was already discussed by many before my comments. Robb blew that one big time. Jon also blew the conflict with Janos out of proportions. The difference between the two could and should have been handled better. The responsibility falls on Jon because he was the commander. Ser Barristan and the Green Grace. That was interesting. Both seniors acquitted themselves capably. I want to see what happens between them in the future. Tyrion and the Sellswords. Tyrion gave away the House. I suppose it's effective to promise something you don't have. He got something out of it while not giving up anything up front. Walder should have done it like this. I can't be sure this is diplomacy but Tyrion was good.

Jon's chances of losing his mind are exponentially greater than Dany's chances. Even more so now after Bowen Marsh and the brother punctured him in multiple places. His anger and hate started to build as he lay dying. I don't think Jon will forget that during death and when the WW revive him his mind will be partially gone. Just like Cat's mind has decayed.

I would put House Stark at the top of any list of "Most Evil Families" and "Most Vile Familes." The Starks slaughtered families during their war for control of the north. They were guilty of mass human sacrifices to fertilize the Weirwood trees. They were murdering the Children of the Forest and taking their lands. I think we will soon learn that Brandon the Builder was actually an evil creature. The Starks commit the most heinous form of slavery, skinchanging. Now Bran has the greensight and it will only be a matter of time before he uses that power for evil. House Greyjoy would come next but only because House Hoare is gone. The Baratheons were pains in the asses. The Manderlys are cannibals. The Lannisters swindled their way into Casterly. Most Evil Families 1. House Stark 2. House Greyjoy 3. House Baratheon 4. House Manderly 5. House Lannister

Daenerys did the right thing. The Overseers were part of the brutal practice of the trade. All citizens of a certain age were guilty of the crime of slavery. How many Southerners died during the Civil War? A lot. Only a fool would say it wasn't a war worth fighting.

Arya herself. Jon Snow. And Sansa. Arya is a totally messed up character. I guess some find that entertaining but I find Arya a real turn off. Jon is a traitor to the Night's Watch. That plot was laid down from the beginning of A Game of Thrones. It was only a matter of time before he betrayed the watch. Sansa has not done anything where she deserves to die. I just don't like Sansa.

There isn't anything left of Arya outside of revenge. She will be consumed by it and that will end her human life.

I don't believe Arya will be revived by the WW. Her soul will transfer to the Direwolf, Nymeria after her human body dies. She is a warg.

I think you will like my new writing style. I will be talking about these characters for this topic. Subject: Jaime Lannister Other Characters: Cersei Lannister, King Aerys Targaryen II, Melara, Margery Tyrell, Daenerys Targaryen, Bran Stark, Arianne Martell, Aegon ??, Gerold Dayne, and Myrcella Baratheon. Most Hated Person in Westeros Jaime Lannister is the most hated person in all of Westeros because: he murdered King Aerys Targaryen II, the king he has taken vows to defend and to protect with his life. pushed Bran Stark from the tower while guesting in Winterfell. sleeps with his new king's wife and fathers the bastards who inherits the throne. participated in the breaking of his brother's marriage. Jaime's Enemies Tyrion Lannister Bran Stark Daenerys Targaryen Aegon ?? Arya Stark Who will kill Jaime? Bran Stark is the most likely killer from the list. But there is one other who has as good a chance. The younger, more beautiful queen. And she is not on the list. This person will take everything away from Cersei. This is the clue which eliminates Daenerys Targaryen as the one who will murder everyone Cersei loves. The Tyrells already murdered Joffrey whom Cersei loved. This suspect is a Tyrell, a female, and a queen. Margery Tyrell. Myrcella, Jaime, and Tommen will be killed by the Tyrells. Margery is already a queen. Sansa can't be queen as long as Margery is alive and she is not smart enough. Arianne is younger but not more beautiful. The word valonqar comes from Valyrian. Why use this term unless the killer is Valyrian. Daenerys Targaryen is the only proven Valyrian on the suspect list but the person is someone's younger brother. My suspect is Aegon ??. He is unproven but he might have enough blood to pass for Valyrian even if it's diluted. Aegon will choke Cersei and Melara will get her justice. Gerold Dayne has no quarrel with Cersei but he is a possible Targaryen bastard. Bran Stark's Revenge The Lame One will get his revenge on Jaime but through indirect means. He might do something to put Jaime and Cersei in a defenseless situation. Bran can do the dirty deed in so many ways. Daenerys Targaryen The next book is called The Winds of Winter. All hell will break loose before Queen Daenerys Targaryen comes to Westeros. Most of the family fighting between the nobility will have been resolved before she comes. Martin is not waiting until A Dream of Spring to thin his cast of characters. Daenerys will arrive in the last book. We can interpret "taken" differently. It doesn't have to mean killed. The younger, more beautiful queen could simply take Jaime from Cersei. As in sexually. Maybe even turn him to her side.

George Martin referred to Arya Stark as a psycho. And she is definitely that. All you have to do is read the Arya chapters to see how ill she is.

The candles are already lit. The red comet, Dany's rebirth to become Azor Ahai, and the coming of the three dragons. Magic is back and the candles are active.

And that is all it will take for Daenerys to earn the title of Empress. It is fitting because she is the only Targaryen to have three dragons. Three dragons she hatched herself. The only Targaryen to walk through fire and walk out again. She is at the peak when it comes to the greatness that belongs to the Targaryens.

Jaime has no motivation to do this. The personal cost to him will be high. Ned and Robb are very dead. Cat is a zombie and Jon will very soon become one too. Their crimes are or will be paid. Public opinion will not save them. A writ of attainder has been signed which took every material possession from the Starks. Only victory in war will change the status quo.

They were planning to put King Viserys III on his family's throne. The rest are details. The goal was to return Westeros back to its legal owners, House Targaryen. It could have been a beautiful outcome. Khal Drogo and his Targaryen Khaleesi will have all of the khalasars under their rule and by default that would mean dominance over western Essos. KVIII will rule Westeros and maybe Aegon will be his heir. KVIII misbehaved in place where it could mean death and he lost his life in Vaes Dothrak. Khal Drogo also died. Daenerys brings back the dragons and is now magically single and available to marry. They now have everything they needed to take Westeros back from the odious impostors. Until Aegon left for Westeros, minus Queen Daenerys, the dragons, and her Unsullied troops. Almost as if Varys and Ilyrio were trying to rebuild Old Valyria plus the addition of Westeros.

The plot will give Aegon a chance to step aside for the rightful heir, Daenerys. I doubt George will let him remain ignorant of his true beginnings. He is a Blackfyre. Which gives him some claim to the throne but it is not as good as Daenerys' claim. Rhaegar died on the Trident while Aerys was still the king. Aerys named Prince Viserys as his heir. She is Viserys' heir. Aegon might contest that and refuse to step aside. What hurt comes his way will be deserved.

No that will give her freedom and it is the last thing she deserves. Life with the Wildlings is perfect for a savage who obeys no laws. Giving her that is not justice. She needs prison time. I think she will not repent nor regret any of her crimes but at least she will be punished. Hanging is too harsh for the crimes she committed so far because of her age and mental health though.

Quite vulnerable. The stressful experience of watching while Ned was killed and other adversity broke Arya mentally.

The Targaryens are the most famous family in Planetos. They were all under the public eye in Westeros. If you look at the family tree, you will see that the OP's conclusions are correct. Every family member who went crazy were noted and recorded. It's not like Aegon Frey from House Frey. Poor Jinglebells will be a footnote in the Frey family history. The Targaryens are different and each of them, even bastards, who went nutso would have been recorded. Damsel in Distress is onto something. It is the males who were born with a tiny broken chip. The females are as close to perfect as a human can get.
