re: what really happened when the King was slayed

I have been thinking about this for a while now. Jamie had to chose between his family and being loyal to the cray-cray King. Can you blame him for his choice to slay the King? I cannot. By him keeping this secret I gained a whole new respect for him.

Oh no that would be heart wrenching. I sure hope not but I could see it happening Lena.

I bet we will see Benjen Stark as a white walker though. I have thought that for a while now. Jon will face him.

So you have been anxiously awaiting July for book #4 I bet????

I now have finished A Storm of Swords. I had a lot more time on my hands than I normally do. And I could not help but think of how hard it must have been for those of you that read these books as they were released. Did the wait for those next books nearly kill you?

3. Sansa should have told Jon where she got the news. It could be a trap. But she didn't think of this, did she? No, she was busy making fancy cloaks. I don't think she has changed and the moment she feels safe and meets a good looking guy she will forget everyhting, abandon Jon and start playing princess! She is kind to him only because there is no one else around and she needs him. If Robb was alive, she wouldn't even bother look at Jon. "

I feel the opposite from you on this. I liked the fancy cloak gesture. I think that she has realized since she has little left (or maybe nothing) for family that she needs to treat Jon better. I feel she was genuine in her apology for treating him poorly in the past. I think she has grown up and learned a lot since she last saw Jon. She got over her beef with Theon so why not Jon?

1. Arya's story confuses me a lot. I don't understand why she wants to become no one since what she really wants is to be a Stark and take revenge. At some po..."

Lena after reading this and Terry's reply on the topic, I started thinking about it too. To me it seems a little off because Arya is such a fighter and it seemed like she just threw in the towel and took off for Braavos and said "hell with all this."

To me it seems out of character for her. She had a good upbringing as far as morals. She knows what is right and what is wrong. I just don't think she will like to kill people who SHE BELIEVES do not deserve it. But for this reason it has me interested.

Yeah It was good Terry. I was messed right up till I watched that.

Just saw this on Twitter:

I think that it ended up not to be because it was not her decision to make. Regardless of how it ends up, she should not have done it until Robb was there to make that decision. Her decision (which was not hers to make) caused a lot of friction between her and her son.

Terry wrote: "You're just jealous, Leslie!"

I am indeed.

Yes chose to ignore is most likely.

I found the epilogue kind of boring and was not sure where it was going but then:




Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?????? That caught me off guard.

Oh my freakin' God! The great reveal of who killed Jon Arryn at last. In my mind that mysery was all solved and a thing of the past. Brillian GRRM, brilliant!

Oh Samwell. I am not a big believer in lying but I commend you. I understand why you lied.

That must have been nearly impossible for Samwell not to tell Jon that he talked to Bran.

I was very happy to see Arya get Needle back.

Good point. I did not think he was lying but now I am starting to consider it. Littlefinger is so sneaky you never know what is up his sleeve.

I think he will appear sometime just at the right moment out of nowhere and protect Sansa, Jon, or Arya.

Yep this is a great season for girl power !!

Oh ok. I don't really know. I guess I missed that. Anyone else know?
