More Hope for House Frey
Aejohn the Conqueroo replied to James Fenimore Cooper XXII's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The Freys aren't going to be wiped out. It won't be because they do or don't deserve it, it will be because the people with the power to take vengeance will choose mercy. -

Do you agree that Lothar Frey is Near Pure Evil?

I understand he lost his head as he watched his mother die. -

Well if we're doing the show, I got to give it to Arya: "Someday I'm going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull" -

House Tully in the End
Aejohn the Conqueroo replied to KingoftheRiversandtheHills's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The last book is called A Dream of Spring, which suggests to me that we will end in winter. I still think they're going to find a way to flood the Riverlands though, so... magic... I think the Tullys and Freys will both survive, though I wouldn't guess at this point which of the two - or whether a third candidate will eventually sit as lord paramount. Whatever the case, Edmure's not going to take part in wiping out his wife's family. Some people will hang, but the family will survive. Probably not the Twins though, I suspect that at least one tower falls and of course, the bridge as well. (Has anyone ever done an accounting of the fates of twins? There are so many in this tale, but I can only recall the death of the two Kingsguards right now) I don't think the Brackens and Blackwoods are going to make it, I think their lines will end together. -

Probably war torn and slave ridden. Dany isn't changing people, she's just killing a few off and taking a few west.

Your Most Hated ASOIAF theory
Aejohn the Conqueroo replied to Him of Many Faces's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Dontos is the information. The fact that Dontos is dead the day after the event confirms his involvement. (I'm assuming that LF would still kill Dontos). it doesn't matter that he doesn't point straight to LF, it matters that he points away from Tyrion. -

She knew Dontos gave her the hairnet. She also knows that she didn't conspire with Tyrion to kill Joffrey. -

If Sansa wasn't extricated she would have been interrogated and could have been quite the loose end. Getting her out of Kingslanding, eliminating Dontos along the way sets her up as a patsy and a co conspirator in her husband's murder plot which keeps the suspicion away from Oleanna and the Tyrells. If Littlefinger didn't get her out, he would have had to find another way to keep her from talking. -

Aejohn the Conqueroo replied to Him of Many Faces's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Shouldn't we be able to get a little deeper before we have to start making assumptions? I don't see a motive for Littlefinger to kill Tyrion and if he does have one, or he's just open to doing t because chaos, I don't see why he would want to get half the court involved in the deed. He could have had a Kettleblack do it in the dark. If it had anything to do with Sansa, wouldn't LF have felt enormous pressure to do it before she wed Tyrion and got bedded? I don't think that he could have assumed that Tyrion wouldn't go through with it and I don't think his plans for Sansa include a little Lannister bastard. -

Wouldn't there have been better opportunities to get rid of Tyrion than at a royal wedding? Targeting Joffrey here makes sense because there are enough moving pieces to have one unsuspecting accomplice bring the poison and only Oleanna needed to get it from her and put it in Joffrey's drink and security is lighter than what usually surrounds the king because they figure that everyone in attendance is already vetted. Tyrion could be had anywhere and if his enemies wanted him he could have been compromised a lot more by having him done in at Shae's or anywhere else. Also if it was a hit of Tyrion, who's royal nephew hated him wouldn't there have been an attempt to involve Joffrey in the plot, or at least get his sanction to upstage his wedding? This would have been embarrassing to Joffrey had he survived, Tyrion died and the cause of death emerged as poison. -
He can have 2 of mine if he gets Winds out this year.

The Death of House Frey
Aejohn the Conqueroo replied to KingoftheRiversandtheHills's topic in General (ASoIaF)
...the sight of Targ majesty would cause you to dismiss all thoughts of bloodshed, and you would stand - how should I put it? - in awe. Now a King in the North? Well I mean, why not shoot a King in the North? -

Could a LC of the NW be hand of the king?
Aejohn the Conqueroo replied to balefired-ed's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Why not? I'm sure it would be impractical, but that would only constrain a certain sort of monarch. The only precedent that I've seen in Westerosi legal history is that a king isn't bound by precedent unless he choses to hide behind it, so essentially he can do as he wishes, as long as he's ready to deal with whatever rebels pop up because of it.
