Thanks for the conspiracy links. It certainly makes a lot of sense. Martin is running out of time to resolve the war in the north. This would allow him to do it, and do it quickly. Then again, I love the revenge angle and the idea that Manderly's dinner is just the first course.

Me too. It allows for the plot to be ramped up in a manner we haven't seen in the the entire series to date.

Agreed. I'm thinking the Freys will be completely toast/extinct in TWoW, and they are already. Walder is gonna dieeee, I'm guessing either at the hands of one of his kids/grandkids/greatgrandkids/bastards, Northerners, or Uncat/Brotherhood.

Would be great to see a Crannogman like Howland kill him, given their bitter rivalry.

ETA: I saw this reply on the IMDb boards about Zimmerman

quote:
Ned would have put him to the sword for abandoning the Neighborhood Watch after the trial began.

Robb would have put him to the sword for killing a kid.

Robert would have drunken some wine and not register his existence.

Stannis would have chopped off his gun hand, and then hired him to guard Dragonstone.
