TheWizard Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 To me Ned's worst mistake was not listening to Renly when he asked him to take Joff and Tommen hostage.my exact thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Sansa Stark Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sansa: Declining Sandor's offer to help her escape KL.Where would she be if she went with him? Winterfell --> Theon and Ramsay friggin' Bolton, at your service.Riverrun --> Red Wedding. Yeehaa. Being dead or a hostage of the Freys. Either that, or being under siege by several armies together. What would happen after that?Well, all of this is IF she survived the journey, which I highly doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fallen Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I keep reading that Arya's mistake was the people she had Jaq'en kill. I wondered myself why she didn't name Tywin or Cersei. I chalked it up to King's Landing being too far. Would Jaq'en have agreed to go that far to hold his end of the bargain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Mark Selmy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Stannis-getting mixed up with the R'hllor nonsenseHe needed to. Without Melisandre's power or the support from the "queen's man" he would likely have been dead by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I tried to ignore it in order to be good and kind but it is not in my nature.1. She did ask Ned, but he scared her into displacing her anger from him on to Jon.2. She bullied no one; she ignored Jon apart from one incident when she had not slept for days.3. Jon was never harassed by Catelyn.1. So, she had to be abused to Jon because Ned didn't gave her an answer? It's being scared a good reason to be abusive towards a child?2. Sleep or not it's bullying. Since when sleep or insomnia is a excuse? And this was not the first time since Robb asked how his mother was towards Jon. If it was the first time how could he know to ask?3. Hm... you prefer emotional abuse and not harassment? And before you ask being cold, neglecting and be rude to someone especially a child who needs you it's an abuse.Those are Cat's mistakes in my book. I have far worst opinion about Cat's personality.

Martin has explictly stated that Cat was not abusive towards Jon; she simply ignored him. This is proved by the text. You may think that women should be nice to their husbands' bastards, but I don't really think they have any obligation to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Turtle Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Lysa - Trying to kill TyrionWas it really a mistake from her perspective?
