quote:Why do i think Arya killing the Waif is what Jaqen has in mind anyway? "One way or another, a face will be added to the list", or whatever he said. I wonder if he ultimately WANTS Arya to kill the Waif.
Arya will obviously kill the Waif & then probably head to Westeros. Then I could see Jaqen H'ghar coming after her and somehow Arya either kills him or wins her freedom from the Faceless Men by doing something so badass that Jaqen just lets her go.
quote:If it happens, I could see Sansa taking the place of Stoneheart and telling Brienne to execute Jamie to prove her loyalty. Although I don't know if Sansa is quite that coldhearted yet.quote:Didn't Jaime send Brienne to find Arya and Sansa? He might be willing to go help Sansa take Winterfell. Might feel the obligation as part of the deal he made when Catelyn let him go. Would be pretty interesting to see how Jon and Sansa react to him offering help.quote:I think the Jaime will capture Riverrun & then be forced to return south when Dany's All-Stars stark to conquer the South. I wonder where Dorne will wind up in all this.... I would assume the join the Dany as they absolutely hate the Lannisters.
So, anyone think Brienne can possibly persuade Jaime and his army to ride to Winterfell?
quote:
to things wasn't that big of a surprise... he was really the only option left for Bran's rescue in the north. He said that he was saved from death by the Children of the Forest by the same method they used to create the white walkers. Does this mean that he is partially a WW or at the very least, not all human?
quote:It would likely depend on if Jaime and the Blackfish become allies. I can't see them becoming allies, though. Blackfish is bound to have heard about Roose saying "Jaime Lanister sends his regards" just before killing Robb.
A southern army heading north. It worked great for Stannis. I'm sure Jamie will have no problem.
quote:That is very much NOT clear. Unless Benjen was severly disfigured, Bran should have recognized his uncle. Or even if his face remained shrouded the ENTIRE time he was with Bran, there's a quote from Leaf that states Coldhands "was killed long ago." For a child of the forest who is ~200yrs old, I wouldn't expect 3-4 years to be considered a long time.
He is Coldhands from the book, I think that is very clear.
quote:This is my exact thought. They have to consolidate a lot of story lines in order to make the show progress. It's like what they did with:
Obviously, the SHOW has combined them. My post was in response to BigAggie and his statement about Benjen being cold hands in the BOOKS.
quote:It wasn't clear how many Theon and Yara took; the fastest this, apparently. It did look like a sheet load though, if not 1000. I guess the areas near the Iron Islands are about to have a lot less trees along the coastline.
How many ships did Theon & his butch sister take, and how many ships did Euron demand be built? 1,000? Honestly can't remember.
And Dany was just told she'd need 1,000...
quote:I hadn't even considered this. A lot of people think that Sam's purpose is to find/discover/create something that will help battle the WW, but this would be at least one way to do it (maybe it's the show's version but not the same for the books). It would be awesome for someone like him to accomplish something like this too.
Have a feeling Sam will do some CSI reverse engineering on Heartsbane to find out how to forge Valeryian Steel. imo this is pretty much his great purpose in the series and what he will be known for.
I think the order of KL deaths will go something like
CleganeBowl
Cersei kills Margery
Tommen suicide
Cersei goes crazy
Jaime kills Cersei. Thinking Mad King Part Deuce.
Jaime???
This will leave KL without any active ruler for Dany to swoop in with little or no resistance early next season if there is a KL left.
quote:
I'm trying to think how it best to use the valaryian steel if Sam is successful in figuring out how to craft it.
quote:He should find a way (or a craftsman) to melt down Heartsbane (a big F*** you to pops) into arrowheads and let the best archers in Westros pick off the WW at range. I think the wights "die" if the WW that rose them is killed and that would tilt the battle into man's favor.quote:

I'd say against the white walkers is the best way to use it
quote:Where does this theory come from? First I've heard of it.

quote:
With everyone getting excited about a possible return of a zombie lady stark I have a hard time believing no one has commented on Jamie mentioning Bron. He is easily one of the best side characters and comic relief in the show. It would be great if he finds a way back into the mix.
quote:
I'm really still doubting the LSH myself.
The books are so much more expansive and the few resurrections are not "too much"....but in the show with limited time we've already had:
Jon Stark
Euron from the Drowned God - albeit rather quickly after his "death"
Benjen by the COTF effectively using magic anyway
if we presume we have the Hound (??? maybe not so much a resurrection, but still back from MIA) which even in the books is strongly hinted at......
just seems a little cheap to suddenly have LSH who by the way was resurrected 3 years ago....wwe just didn't show you that.
Much more likely I think to have Sansa take that role of revenge on the Freys because she is in a position to do that whereas book Sansa was not.
