re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

. I saw it on my Facebook newsfeed this morning so I felt the need to post it.


Also, I agree with people about Dorne. I don't understand Doran Martell's 'game', at all. He sat back all these years putting his plans into play, and they're basically shite for plans. Marrying Arianne to Viserys before seeing if Viserys is a whackjob like his father? Yeah, that's swell Doran. I know the Martells are distantly related to the Targs, but fricking Aerys held Elia and her kids as a captive. I know the Dornish blame the Lannisters and Baratheons for everything, but why not blame the fricking mad king for holding them hostage? I sure as hell wouldn't want to marry my kids to Targs, seeing how they basically caused Elia to be in a shitty place and how Rhaegar ran off with Lyanna while she was still married to him. Then Quentyn is sent by Doran to Dany and gets turned into Dornish barbecue by her dragons. Then Arianne (as of what we know right now) is heading to Storm's End to meet with Faegon. OH, and I forgot about sending Oberyn to King's Landing; Doran had to know that Oberyn being the hot head that he is would possibly never return to Dorne alive because of his JusticeforElia vengeance.

While some fans view Doran as a 'clever' player, I can't help but think that he held things too close to his vest for too long. He may be working alongside Illyrio and Varys, but I'm not entirely sure. I honestly think that he's going to end up fricking up Dorne in the long run; Arianne is probably going to marry Faegon and get killed in the process; I don't see Arianne surviving the series, that's for sure. And there's really no point to Trystane, other than he's the spare heir like Rickon. And since Quentyn is toast and Arianne will probably die, and you know Doran is going to die because of his health, that Trystane will be the one to rule Dorne eventually.
