Urien the Ragged

She's not really a zombie. Shes a broken woman that spent 3 days in a river before being brought back to life. I don't think she's lost the ability to reason, she's just not in a great frame of mind.

http://grrm.livejournal.com/257002.html that's the link to the specific NAB post i am referencing.

GRRM has stated that the Theon I happens before the final Jon chapter in ADWD.

It's the paperback ADwD preview chapter.

Of course he had no intention of killing the man he was sworn to defend at all costs, but the white bull told him that it's his job to protect Aerys, not to judge him. Brienne isnt an oathbreaker in that mold. Jaime may have done the moral thing, but a key theme of the series is duty vs. righteousness, and the world falls apart without duty, it can live without the latter.

i've thought about this. Jaime being hung until he's dead, then when Stoneheart leaves him unburied, Thoros will stay behind and revive him. I also like the idea of the hand being animated.

Jaime won't kill Stonheart, but perhaps Brienne will. My problem with Jaime is hat he's broken so many oaths that he deserves to die. Just because he has disdain for the Freys doesn't absolve him from the fact that he assisted them in taking Riverrun. He's imprisoned Edmure for life for nothing more than being a Tully. WHen the Blackfish shown a light on his failures, he could say nothing more than that he was coerced at swordpoint. Jaime could be the most powerful man in Westeros, but he chooses to nurture his weaknesses, being emotionally conflicted but still doing the wrong thing in the end. He should make good with the Tyrells and entrust them to take out the GC, remove himself from the Kingsguard and install himself as Hand. Attack the Faith Militant and bring down the HS, free Margaery, propose marriage to Arianne Martell and then march on the North with the Lannister army, starting in the Riverlands, killing Freys and Boltons as he goes. Manderly would have no choice but to join him, then together they can eradicate Stannis once and for all, uniting the Seven Kingdoms once again under his son Tommen I, who would be a good king under his guidance. Of course Cersei would be given the Rock (but also imprisoned there), where she can live out the rest of her days buggering whomever she wants to.

are the dragons large enough to create a "field of fire"

greatest knight that ever lived. doesn't get enough credit for slaying maelys the monstrous, who must have been every bit as intimidating as the mountain and probably then some.

oh boy oh boy oh boy
