Brienne will have to be killed for this to happen. I don't think Sansa is going to be anybody's puppet after her time with Ramsey. She would rather die than let LF control her.



Well, I'm thinking he's going to see to her death as well. Guessing Brienne makes her way to the Battle, and LF finds a way to off her there.

Does Littlefinger want to be King or would he rather be the next Tywin Lannister, aka "The Power behind the Throne"?


This is exactly what he's trying to do, but he's not going to back Jon, he's already the puppet master for Robin Arryn. If I'm not mistaken there's been mention of Sansa and Robin being wed, despite them being cousins, in a previous season (I think the crazy aunt said it, but the idea probably came from Littlefinger). That would unite what's left of the loyal north with the Vale, and effectively put Littlefinger in control of both

If Dany became resistant to fire as the result of a magical occurring event (resurrection). Would it be so farfetched to believe that Jon too could now be resistant to fire as the result of the magical occurring event (resurrection)?


In the very first episode of GOT she takes a boiling bath with water that was far too hot, unaffected, and then later on, puts the dragon eggs in the fire, and then pulls them out, and the dothraki woman tries to save her from burning her hands, but Dany again was unaffected, and the dothraki scorched her hands.

I think it's safe to assume Dany has always been resistant to fire/heat. It has nothing to do with the resurrection.

You have way too high hopes for the show. D&D will in no way have a man ruling through a woman, especially Sansa who they have made a "strong woman". They will probably just have Brienne kill LF offscreen.

Of course, it could be that the real battle is between LF and Varys. Varys is supporting Dany and LF will need Jon/Sansa to try to counter. They have been rivals since they effectively shared rulership of the 7 kingdoms under Robert.

There's no way in hell LF is going to back Ned Stark's bastard son


I have a strong feeling that Ned isn't his father.

My money is on Jon Snow being Robert Baratheon's son and rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

That entire lineage for sons was "black of hair" as noted in season 1. It's how Ned found out Joffrey wasn't Robert's son. Jon Snow's hair is as black as I've ever seen.

I'm savvy on the history of it all, but I have a feeling that when Ned went off with Robert, Robert got some whore pregnant and didn't want to come back with child. Ned did the noble thing and accepted responsibility for his friend.

That's a nice theory but that did not happen. Robert had bastard children all over the kingdom. Besides in the first season after the head back to King's Landing, Robert asked of the mysterious woman to have " the honorable Ned Stark" to break his vow and have another woman's child. I believe Jon Snow , like many others, that he is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.
As far as the battle is concerned, I believe Jon will come out victorious and LF will do everything in his power to be on the winning side. I don't see Sansa ever fully trusting him and I think she knows what a con he is.

Little finger knows he wont be getting much help from Kings Landing now that Cercei has 0 control over Tommen.

No but if he already had the royal decree in his pocket from tommen before tommen drank the faith koolaid, then I'm sure that offer is still valid.

Do you think that literally anyone north of King's Landing save the Freys are going to accept that? It's in LF's best interest that they never know about that deal with Cersei.

Show Dany? I think you are correct.

Book Dany? GRR seems to argue that's not an innate property.

FWIW, I like the idea of consistency - and the second instance of her being seemingly fire immune (not just resistant) indicates that she is fire proof on the series.

People told me for the longest time that I was being ridiculous in thinking the Hound wasn't dead.

Who's laughing now?!

He was probably counting on that being a hard fought battle, to where he could easily swoop in and defeat the winner. Instead the Boltons slaughtered them after half of Stannis's army deserted him


He should by all accounts have at least 30k men, he could have swooped in and destroyed Stannis and the Boltons together. He's playing another game. Perhaps he's long playing Sansa, making her realize how much she needs him.

The books were fairly obvious that the Hound was not dead.

In the books; The Hound = Grave Digger on the Quiet Isle.
