re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

In the show, Dany will marry Trystane Martell, which will serve the same purpose as in the book, but helps show writers to eliminate the Aegon and Arrianne story lines.

I can't argue with this - show has no Quentyn, no Young Griff and no Arienne (although Alaria Sand has taken that spot, apparently) - maybe Jaime and Trystane will be intercepted on the way back to King's Landing by Varys or someones else favorable to Dany.

I can't say it's crazy, that's for sure.

:mindblown:

Just finished the books.

And I fear this thread will take me longer than all of them combined.

Has the fat frick announced when the WoW is coming out yet?

That would be incredibly gay.

First... I don't think the letter to Jon came from Ramsey. I'm sure that's a popular thought though.

Do I think Jon's dead? No. It said he didn't even feel the 4th knife. I'm likely taking too much from that, but I think he's warg'd into Ghost. Again, popular thought.

I hate what the movies did to Selmy. frickers.

I like what they've done with Tyrian though. Penny is annoying as frick.

Danny better be on the move. She's been in the east FOREVER. Time to get the hell back to westeros.

Aria's story went further along and has definitely been the most true to the books in the movies. I'm surprised she got her sight back so soon.

Meh - there's 50 different "near death" scenarios. If the body survives, it survives. If it dies, it has to come back - either when they burn it (which I actually envisioned that possibility on the show when they burned Aemon's body - a rare example where my imagination worked better with the visual than without it), a la Dany and the dragons, Melisandre doing the Red God Magic, or because of the innate nature of who some of us suspect Jon Snow actually is.

In any event, death isn't always permanent in ASOIAF - Snow kind of needs to die to be relieved of his oath. Warging into Ghost might be an easy way to bring his spirit back, particularly if Melisandre needs to make preparations or if Thoros has to be brought in, whatever.

If he's not dead, but merely gravely wounded, that poses other problems - how long will it take to recover and will he be ready to fight?

First... I don't think the letter to Jon came from Ramsey. I'm sure that's a popular thought though. It is popular. I was leaning that way myself (though I didn't have any strong convictions on it one way or the other). But the events of the show regarding the Boltons and Stannis makes me think that letter was maybe pretty accurate regardless of who wrote it. quote:Do I think Jon's dead? No. It said he didn't even feel the 4th knife. I'm likely taking too much from that, but I think he's warg'd into Ghost. Again, popular thought. Yes. Well, kinda. He's likely dead but won't stay that way. Have you come across the Great Northern Conspiracy theories (probably my favorite) and R+L=J?

After I read it I figured it was Ramsay, why not? It wasn't until I started reading theories that I started to think he didn't write. We won't know if it's not, until the book comes out. Since he's already stabbed in the show I don't see it being mentioned.

I don't know if the GNC is real, but I loved reading it and I hope it is It was so long it seemed like some lost chapter of the book.

The biggest theory is R+L=J. If we get a TOJ flashback AND they show the fight that may have to be the best episode ever just cause of that

way too many things wrong for Ramsey to have written the letter

I'm almost certain it came from Davos. He had contact with the Dreadfort's Maester. He would have knowledge of all that was said in the letter. The letter urges Jon to send Shireen to Winterfell, and we now know that Mel is probably going to light her up. Shireen has been teaching him to READ for christ sake. It all points to Davos, I will be shocked if it isn't from him at this point.

Just my strong opinion. I thought her burning in the show, and the constant nods to her teaching Davos, was just too much to ignore.

Another that I feel there is too much textual evidence to ignore. Jon is going to warg ghost, his body will be put in the ice cells. That much I am certain of.

I think the other warg is there to shed light on the situation. His only purpose is for this situation, first to inform Mel that Jon is living in Ghost. Jon's body will probably be raised by Mel, but thats only half the battle, because Jon is still stuck inside Ghost. Now, in the prologue, we saw Varamyr try to take a woman's body. She forcibly pushed him out. I believe the entire point of this was to demonstrate that a warg can be pushed out of a body that he inhabits. My opinion is that either the other warg, or (less likely) Bran, will force Jon out of Ghost and back into his body. Jon will obviously be a little "changed" and retain some of Ghost's characteristics due to spending a considerable amount of time in him. I will be interested to see exactly how long he spends in Ghost though. This whole scenario is a loophole in and of itself, because while Jon will take on characteristics of Ghost, he will not lose part of himself like Cat does. Because while his body dies, warging allows his soul to live on.
