re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

I had forgotten how shocking some of the early twists were but my son started binge watching a few weeks ago in down time for getting ready and taking college finals.

He heard me mention Eddard Stark in passing and questioned me about it. I "admitted" that Ned was still around till the present. Then a couple of days later I got a call from him while I was in the car and he said "you lied to me!"

Then yesterday when I went home for lunch he was on the Rains of Castamere (Red Wedding) episode. It was fun watching him watch that.

Now that the show has diverged from the books and passed them up in some places I guess we're all going to be in that boat to get surprises.
