Mithras

My standing prediction is that he's going to try and fail, but in the process of failing shake up the status quo.

That would be an extremely low quality and disappointing story teling. There are many ways to shake the status quo and George generally prefers the deaths of significant characters in an unexpected way.

There are already many characters who failed to even find Sansa. Writing a character who finds Sansa, who knows her true identity and having him failed to abduct Sansa serves no purpose and makes no sense.

We do not know who were The Rat, the Hawk, and the Pig but it might be a reference to "The Catte, the Ratte and Lovell our dogge rulyth all Englande under a hogge"

I guess the LC does not have to accept any person who comes to take the black. That is just a PR thing going on for millennia.

what if jaime asks for trial by combat and faces brienne. He then has to kill her by thrusting oathbreaker through her heart. Thereby becoming azor ahai reborn.

Brienne will not champion a cause she does not believe in. Therefore, she will not fight for UnCat against Jaime because she tried to tell her that Jaime is a changed man and did his best to keep his vow to Cat. Therefore, I think Brienne will champion Jaime against UnCat's champion (which will probably be Lem Lemoncloak).

In TWOIAF, there is a maester called Nicol who wrote The Measure of the Days.

Think I'm right in saying (text not in front of me) that Mance was a wildling orphan who was raised by the NW so he doesn't really know Westeros at all I imagine, apart from maybe some parts of the north?

Even if that is the case (which I highly doubt), Mance should have learned in Winterfell what Ramsay would do to his foes.

The last chapter of Dany in ASoS is full of references to Lord of the Flies.

I'm pretty sure the pink letter was sent by Mance, There are just too many things to just let slide. Who from the 7 kingdoms has ever called the Night's Watch 'crows'? That's just 1 small reason. If for som reason it isn't Mance, I would say it was Ramsey. But Stannis?????? No.

at the last dany chapter, she was bleeding between her thighs just before the dothraki outrider appeared. what could this bleeding mean?

It is most probably a miscarriage caused by the poisonous green berries she ate.

Is Mag the Mighty a homage to Mighty Mack from Blues Brothers 2000?

Crackpot Theory.

Pycelle and three-eyed-raven are brothers.

I think Tormund will replace Leathers as well. He will be the master at arms and translator of the Old Tongue.

Having said that, I think he did bring some wildlings with him. You're right, they'll probably have Jon send Tormund to round up some wildlings in the show.

:thumbsup:

He brought thousands of wildlings.

Replace her as what? Jon's potential wife?

As the one who will bring the large wildling population that will flee when Stannis arrives.

Rattleshirt has been cast when Jon killed Qhorin. I don't think they will replace him.

By the way, did anyone notice something in the fight of Styr and Jon?

The sucker smashed Jon to the anvil and then threw him to the fire. This looks like he is "forging" Jon like a sword. And the scene ends with Jon burying the hammer to his head.

I think this was a nod from the show implying that Jon is the Lightbringer.

The mindblowing theory is here (a very long read but totally worth it.)

Looks like Val will not be cast and Tormund will replace her.

By the way, did anybody think that Orson Lannister sounds quite similar to Whoreson Lannister.

A more important question: Did he poison Tywin before the duel?

How did Lyanna Stark die? Or, assuming R+L=J and she died in childbirth... What lie did Ned tell Robert and everyone else?

He lied that Jon is his son.

You think Tycho wont make it back safely?

His ships are sent to Hardhome by Jon and it is highly probable they they either sunk or used as palisade walls Mel saw in her vision.

Then what would all of Sansa's dealings with Ser Dontos and LF been about?

It is here.

The TV show has its own canon but in the books, there is a very interesting theory that Cersei tried to poison Tyrion with the pigeon pie but Joffrey came and ate it. So, Joffrey died before the Tyrell plot was played.

Interesting - I didn't find it so. The Craster stuff last episode I found pointless and ridiculous, but the Dreadfort insert didn't bother me at all. It showed us how drastically Theon has been broken better (and more economically, time-wise) than could otherwise have been done in the show, as opposed to books.

I do agree that the dogs were a bit ridiculous - it's not like they are immortal :) It would be much more credible if the Ironborn ran because they've been found out and were obviously far outnumbered, once the garrison was awake and aware of their presence.

Lol. The best killers in the Iron Islands armed with axes and shields are making a night raid and killing armed Dreadfort men but they are running on their heels from Ramsay's bitches.

Yara's night raid to Dreadfort was the most ridiculous thing ever done in the GoT.

I think the TRUE IDENTITIES lack the Plumm Ancestry of Lannisters as an alternative to Aerys/Rhaegar + Joanna = Jaime/Cersei/Tyrion theories. By the way, when TWOIAF is released within a couple of months, this theory will be tested for good.

Oberyn poisoned Tywin theory has a second part here.

OTHER TOPICS might include a well-argued and mind-blowing Alternative Purple Wedding theory.
