Seems like Bran is already trying and succeeding in a way to communicate with Jon through Mormont's raven and with Theon through the tree when he was in Winterfell.
I'm a lot less sure on the end ...

 | re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS - Methuselah on 6/17/13 at 9:55 pm I did read some speculations to whether they would conflate the Euron and Victorion characters.
With Asha going off to try and rescue or avenge Theon,I think they could really streamline the Kingsmoot stuff without missing much of a beat. Maybe just a Vic/Euron coup with Damphair trying to ad...

 | re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS - Methuselah on 6/17/13 at 8:46 pm I think major things of the next season will be:
- introduction of Red Viper & company.
- hopefully some scene to establish the Mountain as a force.
- battle of Castle Black.
- Danny/Dario stuff, with Jorah pining away. Maybe the Sewer scene. Jorah getting banished maybe.
- Arya an...

 | re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS - Methuselah on 6/17/13 at 8:01 pm I agree they aren't likely to cut back on Danny's plot. She's a fan favorite and pretty much one of the central characters of the series. And on top of that she brings the sex appeal big time. Especially now that they've introduced Dario to give her opportunities to steam things up....

 | re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS - Methuselah on 6/17/13 at 4:48 pm Here's a topic I was contemplating (It's not speculation but I figured this was the best place to put it rather than opening a new SOI&F thread):
What, in your opinion, was the most idyllic scene/passage to date in SOI&F?
I personally would go with Tyrion's time aboard the Shy Maid, with Grif...

Just stay there and wait for Bolton to come get him like he threatened?

 | re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS - Methuselah on 6/14/13 at 1:06 pm That's a good point. It doesn't seem like Clegane (if that is who Robert Strong is) is likely to head to Slaver's bay. And Danny definitely hasn't been in much of a hurry to get to Westeros. So if it has to impact her directly, it might not be anytime soon. Though if she has to actually give bir...
