Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Meera and Jojen = perfect casting, IMO.

Agreed. So if you guys haven't been here http://asoiaf.westeros.org/, do so. It is amazing.
But anywho, someone on said forum was saying how Aemon said something like, "Cold sustains." I was thinking that maybe Jon is in like stasis due to the intense cold. Remember how his wound was steaming? That means it must've been hella cold there. So maybe he jumps to Ghost and when they are about to burn his body, he like comes out of the flames with minimal damage, essentially unscathed for the most part and is "reborn"? That would be good if it hadn't already been done for Dany though. But people have great ideas there. |

I have no idea how GRRM is going to make it happen, but it's probably a pretty safe bet that Jon will be Azor Ahai reborn. If he's not, it's probably George read the forums and found out the general consensus and will go with something completely different to **** with us. What if he makes Cersei Azor Ahai? People would probably start burning the books, haha.

I think Jon will be saved by Mel like Beric and Undead Catelyn were by Thoros and Victarion was by the red priest on his ship. But because Jon was able to warg into Ghost instead of actually dying, he will still have all of his complete mental and emotional faculties when he goes back into his reanimated body and thus won't be as affected by zombieness as he might have otherwise been. Of course it's all guesswork at this point... |

Being in an altruistic mood, I took some screenshots for you fine people so you don't have to watch the whole thing: |

Is all the talk of "we always thought it would be a success to get through season 3" a little worrisome to anyone else?

I think they need to get through season 4 since it will cover the last half of book 3.
But I think they make it to the end, their ratings have been good and so many people have now read the books. It's a built in audience. I'm optimistic! |

I took that to mean "we always thought if the show could survive to that point, then it would really explode, because that's the most awesome point in the books".
