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 |

Me too. Unless he really thinks Jon Snow is dead and done at end of ADWD (which I don't).

I like Catelyn less than Cersei. She's an idiot and her incessant idiocy has created headache after headache for everyone she's close to. She's also the reason Sansa is how she is. I've quasi-defendand Sansa all along and will continue to do so. She's just a dumb kid that doesn't know any better but she's learning. As opposed to Catelyn, who's just a spoiled, dried up old woman that's been instrumental in the death and destruction of her house through thinking she's far far smarter than she is. I wish she'd have stayed dead. Ser Berric was a much more noble character.

Also, much of her horribleness seems to stem from her marriage. Given that I feel that Robert is basically scum, I can manage to forgive her for that. |

I assume the last image of the last scene of last episode this season will be of zombie Catelyn. Should be epic for the n00bs. DAMMIT I WISH I HADN'T READ THE BOOKS. |

I've always found Catelyn to be the most sympathetic character in the books. She tries to do the right things, and she's always selfless/supportive of her family no matter the situation. Cersei on the other hand has zero redeeming qualities. At least in the books. On TV they've tried to humanize her with varying degrees of success. Sansa is to me far and away the least interesting character in the books. I get what Martin tried to do with her, the faerie tale princess forced to deal with harsh reality, but it grows tiresome after the initial novel.

Sansa POV chapters are basically endurance tests. I think I skipped the last couple and read online summaries instead. ****ing stupid bitch.

Cersei and Catelyn are the same. They're both fiercely protective of their families, and will treat any other person as a piece of garbage if it means advancing their family's interests.
Catelyn's family is just more likable than Cersei's, but Cersei is more interesting than Catelyn. |

That was my impression, he did get stabbed multiple times. But I'm open to why you think he isn't dead. TBH, him and Arya are my favorite characters, so I would prefer it if he wasn't.

Personally, I think he did die, but will be reborn under the bleeding star (Ser Patrek) among the salt (tears) and smoke (from his wound). Probably will warg into Ghost and back to himself (Melisandre's vision of Jon turning into a wolf and back to himself). Or, maybe all of that was a red herring, who knows? |

See MagicHef's reply. He may have "died," but so did Beric Dondarion, Catelyn, and others... I seriously don't think he's gone for good.

No POV character since Ned has died. At least not permanently. Even though we have been led to believe on numerous occasions that they were killed at the end of a POV chapter.

Anytime she went off and did her own thing, she ****ed it up. She's essentially a housewife that thinks being 'high-born' means she knows shit about shit. She doesn't. Clearly.
