there were some pretty shitty episodes last season. luckily the next two episodes may be some of the best in the series.


eta: With it looking unlikely that the Purple Wedding happens in episode 10...how great would be it be if they end the finale with UnCat hanging some Freys?

with her, all I really want to know is if she is the honeypot or not. If she is keep her around let her go north and be on stonehearts hit list.

If Robb doesn't name an heir in this episode, I suspect she lives and is actually preggars.


She dies, just how and when? I think the honeypot scheme is revealed at the RW to add some shock value for the non-readers. Then...

a. Catelyn kills her instead of the simpleton, Roose kills Cat and delivers the "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" line.

b. She has actually fallen in love with Robb and asks them to spare him...and gets killed as well (not likely)

c. She really is preggers and Tywin has ordered that she be killed as well to ensure that Sansa is the heir of Winterfell, which would make Tyrion the ruler in the North.

This is what I'm hoping happens.

"She doesn't speak anymore, not since you bastards cut her throat." will be a great intro to UnCat

ETA - because she's pregnant isn't that the reason Robb leaves her behind in the book, or because Cat is worried about making the Freys more pissed by bringing her along. I'd imagine something similar happens and it'll show that she's taking moon's tea to stop the pregnancy if she is actually a Lannister spy.

I still have not ruled out the writers reacting to the honeypot theory, not having originated the idea but running with it.

Does anyone know the production times for GoT? When do they write and when do they shoot. Scripts can be re-written up unto the point they shoot.

Honeypot theory is starting to look more and more plausible.

I'll take:

c. She really is preggers and Tywin has ordered that she be killed as well to ensure that Sansa is the heir of Winterfell, which would make Tyrion the ruler in the North.

For 1,000, Alex.

Tywin later explains this, perhaps during the Purple Wedding.

Question: let's just say the Lannisters knew Bran & Rickon were still alive. Would Bran be the heir since he's the next male, or is it still Sansa because she's the 2nd oldest sibling, even though she's female?

I'm thinking they reveal UnCat sometime next season

got to let everyone think she is really dead for a while so they kinda forget about her, then boom, UnCat

what does that matter, really? people would be surprised if she was resurrected 10 minutes after or 10 weeks after. They need something in the form of vengeance in the finale or they will have problems. Viewers are starting to realize Dany is about to slow down and their only other big hope is Robb. Kill Robb and the north basically with no form of vengeance and you'll have a frick ton of pissed off viewers. They aren't going to want to wait to season five to have any hope for the north again.

So technically Bran would be the heir then...but why would Robb name Jon the heir if he had two "real" brothers? To make Catelyn more butthurt and pissed off than she already is?

Ohh, I forgot about that. But if they knew, I'm guessing he wouldn't have named Jon heir?

Right, Robb thinks he is the last male Stark.
