Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

I'm with you. I disliked it as well, though it got better as ADWD progressed.

Catelyn - Now a zombified badass, who knows where that will go Arya - kickass assassin and hopefully reunites with Nymeria Sansa - looks to become queen of the vale and possibly the entire north Bran - could become the most central character in the entire book Jon - who knows, but it will be big Rickon - In Skagos right now so we can bet he will be a wild one when they find him You also have the direwolves Summer, Shaggydog and Ghost still around. |

I've just become less and less convinced of GRRM's ability to bring this thing to a satisfactory conclusion. He just keeps spinning off new bullshit complications and plots that just stall things even more. It's also why I think the HBO series will fizzle out before it reaches a conclusion. Audiences and critics are going to get impatient with it after this season. They're already impatient with this season. The Red Wedding, Joffrey's death, Tywin's death... those will tide people over for another season... but getting through the long slog of the next two books while maintaining a satisfied audience will be really difficult.

A girl is nobody. I kind of like it. She's going to kick ass.

I'm 2/3rds of the way through Dance wiht Dragons and I'm starting to agree. Jordan couldn't bring himself to finish Wheel of Time, seemingly, endlessly creating more loose ends and getting further and further away from the core/crux of the story. He had to die and then Sanderson finished it off. GRRM seems like he may have the same problem.

There is a ton of evidence pointing to Jon's story continuing in some form.

I think just being dead is probably the least likely of all the possible outcomes, though it wouldn't surprise me. If I remember right, he calls out to Ghost in his last moments, so it's plausible that he could warg into him until his body is resurrected.

I agree about the show. They're going to have to start cutting major portions of the books to keep people's interest. |

Now, many read this and think "Dany" which is entirely possible. But in the Jon Snow "betrayal" scene, we see Jon's wound smoking, the man who gave it to him crying (Salt) and a night whose rainment is made of stars dying/bleeding/etc. I just don't see any way this story wraps up without Jon Snow and Dany being AA and the Prince who was Promised. Conceivably, both could fill either role.

I don't think Jon is perma-dead. There's been too much setup.
