Tyrion on The Queen of Thorns:

"Tyrion was beginning to wonder if Lord Luthor Tyrell had ridden off that cliff intentionally."

Assuming that Rick lives to the end of the series and is named Heir to Winterfell, would Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail be reforged into Ice and given back to him?

I always crack up when Hodor says Hodor in the books, but IMO the Hodor scenes are better in the show. I loved all of his S3 scenes for instance:

Best of Hodor

From the books, name a quote that made you lol



“Tell me, Bronn. If I told you to kill a babe . . . an infant girl, say, still at her mother’s breast . . . would you do it? Without question?”


“Without question? No.” Bronn said “I'd ask how much.”

Stannis is hilarious, he had some great lines on Slynt and Robert.

Stannis is one of my favorite characters now. He is so dry but has some of the best lines in the books. I hope David and Dan start to show Stannis in a better light in Seasons 4 and 5.

"We all know what my brother would do. Robert would gallop up to the gates of Winterfell alone, break them with his warhammer, and ride through the rubble to slay Roose Bolton with his left hand and the Bastard with his right. I am not Robert. But we will march, and we will free Winterfell … or die in the attempt."

"Renly offered me a peach. At our parley. Mocked me, defied me, threatened me, and offered me a peach. I thought he was drawing blade and went for mine own. Was that his purpose, to make me show fear? Or was it one of his pointless jests? When he spoke of how sweet the peach was, did his words have some hidden meaning? Only Renly could vex me so with a piece of fruit. He brought his doom on himself with his treason, but I did love him, Davos. I know that now. I swear, I will go to my grave thinking of my brothers peach."


Also, this is a great quote as well; it was in the show but I can't remember if it was in the books as well.

"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

Great Jon was the one who had his fingers bitten off by Greywind and said "Your meat is bloody tough." Rickard Karstark is the one who killed the Lannister boys and Robb beheaded him.

Does anybody have a clue about the correlation between Sansa and birds?

She is always being referred to as a little bird either by the hound or even herself. Does this foreshadow her becoming one of Varys' little birds?

I'm not sure that Sansa will work for Varys, exactly, although I definitely think the little bird connection is there. "Little birds" refers to Varys's child spies. Rather than foreshadowing Sansa being one of Varys's spies, I think it points to her, a skinchanger, adopting birds as her familiar, in the absence of her direwolf. She's learning the spy game from Baelish unlike the "little birds" who are actually just kids.

Other bird references involving Sansa:

Sweet Robin

She is in the Eyrie, which is literally a large nest for a bird of prey

Littlefinger intends to marry her to Harry the Heir, also known as "The Little Falcon"

And also Littlefinger's personal crest is a bird

I believe the birds foreshadow Sansa embracing her warging abilities and she wargs into birds. I think the reason she hasn't found her warging abilities yet is because she hasn't had a traumatic experience to bring them on yet. Like Bran or Jon or Arya has.

So I think Sansa may have a traumatic experience that unleashes her warging abilities in tWoW and that is probably the "controversial" Sansa chapter that GRRM spoke about

Seeing her father beheaded is pretty traumatic.

I mean a trauma to them physically.

Bran fell.

Some think Robb warged into Grey Wind when he was killed

Some feel Jon being stabbed will awaken his abilities

Arya was blinded
