re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

I agree that Ser Barristan is honorable and perhaps he doesn't know, but I think he will eventually find out/has enough knowledge to put two and two together. I've been rewatching season 1 this week, and I've been catching onto things as a book reader that I never caught on to when I first watched the show as a Hodor. There was a scene when Cersei is talking to Joffrey and she asks him how he'd deal with the Northerners and he said that he'd double there taxes and if they rebel that he'd pick a new Warden of the North. I was thinking, "Oh shite. Like they did with Roose Bolton!" It was such a nerd moment . So many subtleties in the dialogue in the show that foreshadow so many things and can go unnoticed easily. There was also the scene with Jaime and Jon that I thought was very interesting and you can tell Jaime is thinking to himself that Jon doesn't know/understand the realness of serving in the Watch for life...I think Jon will encounter Jaime again, no doubt about it. Would love to see that conversation considering everything that has happened to Jaime since AGoT/season 1.
