George R.R. Martin's A DANCE WITH DRAGONS - Spoiled Discussion

No. There's been no word of her or Master Glover since the third book.

And if she was dead, Alysane Mormont would the Lady of the Bear Island, but she isn't.

I see Jon going through an evolution like Arya or Bran. He will go through some dark path find the throuth about why the dead are attacking and return a new man. If he's permanently dead, F U Martin.

[Roquefort Raider]

If he's permanently dead, F U Martin.

Naaaah... Even if he is dead for good (which I really, really doubt), I'm convinced Martin will manage to keep things interesting north of the wall. After the Red Wedding, I'm convinced he can turn any disaster into gold!

I highly doubt it as well - we can assume a massive melee ensued after the stabbing and that Tormund (seriously one of the best ancillary characters ever) took up for the fallen John and perhaps rescued him.

Hell, I'm still holding out hope that Syrio will pop back up.

I don't think Syrio ever left. He's been in the series all along, albeit in different guises.

I certainly hope not, because this would mean Syrio never really existed in the first place and was just another false identity.

I had wondered how "Jaqen H'ghar", with all his powers, ended up captured and sent to the wall like a common thief. He let himself be captured, right? Or, was he captured as Syrio and brought to the prison, and no one cared or paid attention to notice that the prisoner who left the dungeon was not the prisoner that entered?

Of course, what was a mystical assassin doing in King's Landing to begin with? Certainly not looking to train little girls in sword play. Was he using the Syrio disguise to get close to the Starks?

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Maybe the Iron Bank hired him to secure their debt and the King's Hand was the quickest way to gain access.

I've never been much of a fan regarding the Syrio=Jaqen theory, but as to what he was doing in King's Landing could have had something to do with Grand Maester Pycelle. We know he eventually headed to Oldtown to infiltrate the Citadel (maester headquarters) so perhaps whatever led him there was found from spying on the grand maester. IDK. It does seem strange that a guy with his skill set was merely captured and chilling in the Black Cells.

crackpot .

It could be as simple as him being there to kill someone being held in the black cells. Rorge and Biter had some idea who/what he was or at least had some inkling he was someone to be afraid of. Knowing he could get free move around and kill a fellow prisoner would explain that.

I want to see Dany get back to Westaros as soon as possible. There are WAY too many scum there to clean up.

Cersei for starters.

While I'm just as eager to Cersei get killed in the most violent way, I think that in the end she will still be standing. She's a survivor, as the last book showed.

[the_coldest_sun]

As much as she deserves pain and punishment, Cersei's much too fun of a character to kill off just yet. Her thought process and inter-dialogues are highly entertaining and often quite hilarious. I'd have mixed feelings about her death.

God, I hope not. Dany's seriously inexperienced as a Queen and she's got a lot to learn. But her heart's in the right place and that counts for a lot with me.
