Skahaz mo Kandaq

Look back on Sansa's past. Very well. Sansa is not smart BUT she's not evil. She's not mean-spirited. The teasing she did to Arya and calling her HORSEFACE doesn't count as mean-spirited to me. I give Sansa credit for compassion. She had compassion for Dontos. But I'm afraid she might murder Sweetrobin if Littlefinger and Harry tells her to. She could do it because love screws with Sansa's mind and Harry could demand this of her.

Access to the sea and the Free Cities have benefits. The location of King's Landing gave them those advantages.

Who poisoned the locusts and who was the target? It is one of the most interesting mysteries in aSoIaF. My suspicion is on Hizdahr. A man from the culture who declined to enjoy the local delicacy is strange. The intended target was Daenerys. Belwas and his appetite saved the Queen.

The Starks are selfish traitors. Somewhere in Walder's heart he wanted to believe this Robb Stark was a better person than the boy turned out. However, the reason people like Frey trusted him was because he had little in the way of options. The Starks had an army camped outside his castle. What was the old man to do? He had to deal. He made the choice he thought would bring the best security and gain for his family.

Daenerys is not fully sure of their loyalties but she is giving them the benefit of the doubt. That's one of the traits I love about Daenerys. She has maturity and intelligence beyond her age. She needs the men and therefore gives them the benefit. Skahaz is one of my favorite people too. His story and what little we know of his backstory can be a story in themselves. I would happily read a backstory of Skahaz and find it more interesting than another Dunk and Egg. Reznak mo Reznak is more than likely also loyal to Dany. Reznak's culture comes out from time to time but it doesn't mean he is not supportive of Dany's administration. A wise ruler like Dany will listen to opposing viewpoints and consider their merits. Which she does credibly.

@Lord of Raventree Hall Viserys was not a psychopath. To the best of our knowledge, he has never committed murder despite the stress and challenges he was facing. The Prince was a bully and had a short temper. But that does not make him one. Arya is a psychopath. The author said so during one of his interviews. It was the author's intentions to create Arya as a psychopath and it doesn't matter whether that fits your listed criteria.

Okay, Bowen Marsh and the other guys had to have questioned Jon's competence and continued ability to lead the Night's Watch. Understandable given Jon's decisions with regards to the Wildlings and aligning himself with the rebel lord Stannis. But those concerns were not the reasons for the assassination. Jon was going to lead his savages to war against Ramsay Bolton. That and only that was the reason for his assassination. And Bowen Marsh was right to do it. Assassinating your leader is illegal. It is an act of treason. That is why Bowen Marsh and Jaime Lannister are often compared. They compare favorably in many ways. They were serving men who they have to remove from power before the situation goes out of control. Jon was out of control and Bowen did what he did to stop him. Jon was guilty of treason already for sparing Mance and sending him to Arya.

Jon is a bastard. Whose bastard is the often asked question. I believe Mance Rayder and Lyanna Stark are his parents.

Lysa's own son is suspiciously under-developed. Indulgence and over-protection alone cannot explain Robert's odd manners.

The Baratheon boys had their chance but failed miserably. The Lannisters also failed the people. Jon failed at the wall. Westeros will need a strong leader like Dany to bring order and peace.

Jon will have a cold heart when he comes back because it will be the white walkers' magic that turns him into an ice zombie. His nature is not really cool. Jon is hot tempered, erratic, and impulsive. All those qualities you don't want in a leader. He wasn't killed for having a cold heart. He was killed for being a dangerous idiot with an insane plan to attack the Boltons. Liking or disliking the Boltons should have no part at all when it comes to the duties of the NW.

The biggest sore loser is Catelyn Stark. She murders an innocent young man out of hate and spite.

It's hereditary. The Tully girls inherited it from their ancestors and passed it on to their children.

Putting Jon and Arya together and at least one city in Westeros is guaranteed to burn.

It is a little sad but Martin has been setting up the Freys for a huge suffering. Some of the men deserve the punishment for breaking guest rights and their direct role in the red wedding. Most of the Freys are innocent. The Freys deserve to keep the Twins and the bridge. They deserve to keep their assets. Punish the wedding planners but leave the others unharmed.

Yes

Arya has shown signs of being highly excitable and emotionally volatile before going to the FM. I do not have the books with me at this time but you can look up her conversation with Ned Dayne. The lad was politely telling a story and Arya became hostile. It was unprovoked. Arya composes a list of people she wants to kill and even fantasizes about it. That's crazy in itself.

She is a great ruler of men. I want her to inherit Westeros and rebuild in the aftermath of the long winter.

You can put Arya in a better environment and she will still be the same person inside. Arya was born with the propensity to go dark. The trauma pushed her ever darker. But she will not go back to being good. The blood stains and the sins will always be there inside that heart. The severity of her mental illness will fluctuate and it will always show up.

Take a look where Arya currently stand. You can take Arya away from the darkness. But you cannot take the Darkness away from Arya. She has become darker and darker with each murder.

She will murder the child. Sansa is a big idiot. This is another decision which she will regret. Not because of compassion but because it will end very badly for her.

That answered the question and won the debate for your side. You can lead most horses to water and they will drink. There are some who would rather die of thirst.

I am almost sure of it. Sansa will kill Robert Arryn. By poison or strangulation doesn't matter. Sansa will do this for personal gain. She is known as a bastard and it will be hard to prove otherwise. Her only way to power is through Littlefinger. He wants to remove Robert Arryn and he will convince Sansa to do it.

Westeros is not going to have many fit men of the right age available. Winter and war has ravaged the land. People are dying on the battlefields. The Unsullied will have the Dothraki to help them. Two or three large khalasars will be more than Westeros could handle.

The security of the House is dependent on the Lannisters and the latter's hold on the throne. The Starks and the northerners will butcher them if the Lannisters were to show any signs of weakness. The Lannisters will go down because they have too many enemies. The cold of the Starks will creep into the riverlands soon after that. The Freys may be saved and something close to justice will be carried out if Daenerys can get to Westeros in time to prevent the Starks from indiscriminate butchery.
