I'm super excited to see Dorne and meet the Sand Snakes and the rest of the Dornish family. The Sand Snakes are badass. I just hope they don't screw up the casting the way they did with Asha/Yara.

HATE the changes they've made to Bran's story. Some major departures that will greatly alter things.

Bear: I'm guessing Jojen's death destroys your theory that Jojen is really Howland. If not, enlighten us.

Events at the Wall are definitely about to heat up. And more Melisandre is never a bad thing.

Dany is screwed. Inability to control her dragons will be her undoing.
!!!POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR NONBOOK READERS!!!!!

Actually no, but I think it confirms Jojen Paste in my opinion. So, I already knew if Jojen Paste was true he was going to have died without a tell-all moment, although Meera can confirm that he is in fact her father instead of her brother. I think it's typical GRRM torture. We're going to find out from Meera in a Bran chapter in "The Winds of Winter" that he was Howland incognito and there'll be no one left to confirm anything that happened at the Tower of Joy right!!??? This is just going to be GRRM 17ing with us.

If you'll remember in book one it says ..."when THEY found him, still clutching Lyanna's body." Howland Reed is a "he," not a "they." Someone else was there. There are many interesting theories to this. You'll love the one I subscribe to. Notice, Ned never claims to have killed Arthur Dayne. He only says that he (Ned) would have been slain but for Howland Reed. He also only says that Dayne's death made him sad. I personally think Dayne was already killed... at the Trident wearing Rhaegar's armor. This is one reason his death was tragic to Ned. Dayne = Petroculus, Rhaegar = Achilles.

Both Dayne and Rhaegar are Mary Jane characters but I believe at least one of them is alive. I believe it's Rhaegar. This is a great theory for when I have more time. I think, like Howland Reed, he's been hidden under our nose the whole time.

Rhaegar Targaryen = Mance Rayder


Tahdah!!!

I'm gonna kill some time before football starts by setting up a thread for book theories in which I'll put some of these out. I hate to keep hijacking threads with theories that may spoil something for show only folks.
