Witnessing Ned's death caused Arya to crack. Her mind is screwed because she is emotionally damaged from trauma and madness. Arya is quite similar to Gollum and needle is her precious item. Don't worry about justice, Arya will get what's coming to her when she dies with needle in her hands.

The mess is huge. The situation is bad and you can blame that on Jon Snow. It was going to get worse if Bowen Marsh had allowed Jon to lead the wildling attack on the Boltons.

I would prefer somewhere more exotic, like the lands of old Yi ti.

The leaders of Robert's Rebellion made their own bed and are now on that bed. It is a tragedy of their own making. Robert and his friends lacked the competence of the Targaryen Dynasty. His reign started on a bad note, the assassination of King Aerys and Rhaegar's children. I suppose justice is being served if there is such a thing as fair in this world. The unfortunate thing is not what is happening to the Baratheons, Tullys, Arryns, and Starks. They made their own beds. It's just too bad for the people and the lower nobility who must suffer for what they did.

Marsh won't be able to do this alone. The task to get the watch back in order is too much. The north is in no shape to help because of the war between Stannis and Roose. Help will arrive when Dany comes to Westeros.

There won't be a king, but there will be a queen. Dany will be the ruler of Westeros. The story is progressing to bring the story to that conclusion. The story will end during the long night but we will get the beginnings of a new dawn empire just like it did at the start of the Great Empire of the Dawn. Dany will be building the foundations for this empire just as her ancestors did a long time ago.

The things we consider as the markers of morality (compassion and fairness) must necessarily be lacking in a slave owner. Particularly the kind who enjoys watching slaves fight for entertainment. I am not saying they don't love their momma. They do. But they are slavers 24/7. So having good manners and being polite to mom does not wash out that they are slavers.

Victory for Stannis means to succeed in getting the Boltons out of Winterfell and taking control of the castle. Holding on and repelling the attackers is enough for a Bolton victory. The Boltons will manage to defend and Stannis will be forced to retreat. Mance Rayder is the wildcard. That Ramsay better stop playing games and execute him.

@CamiloRP The First Men were slitting people's throats to fertilize their trees. It doesn't make their prophecies wrong. Their beliefs and practices may be barbaric but it does not make them wrong on the facts.

Jon was killed to prevent him from doing further harm to the Night's Watch and Westeros. Breaking the laws of guest right was not the reason for his death. His part in the crime may never surface if he stays dead. Mance will get away with it because George Martin likes his type. George Martin likes his gray characters and Mance could fall into that category in his eyes. He is black to me but George Martin may judge on a different scale. Honestly, I feel badly for Squirrel. I question whether the young girl knew what she was getting into. Mance, the older girls, and Jon took advantage of that kid.

Robb Stark met his Waterloo at The Twins. Walder is Wellington.

No, no, I do not envy Bowen at all. The poor man has a Herculean task ahead of him after what his ex-lord commander left behind. Outside help will be required as in the past when the N-K had to be removed. But outside help is not coming unless it comes from Essos in the form of Daenerys and her armed forces. The north is too fractured right now and engaged in unproductive family feuds. Making matters worse is the weeper and his group. It's only a matter of time before the northern barbarians come to the gate.

The real world pandemic has inflicted enough troubles. George may leave diseases and pandemics out of his story. You just never know.

I agree. Although generals such as Napoleon and Washington might take a liking to Robb Stark because of his talent on the field of battle.

I am a fan of Daenerys Targaryen. But you don't need to be a fan to believe the greyscale will spread from Connington and Shireen. It's too good of a plot device for George to not use.
