I pretty much agree with everything. I don't want Jon to die, though, because I love him, but do I think his storyline is over and it's probably best if he stays dead. I just wish he hadn't made such a bad decision. Specially when Ned and Robb were betrayed and killed in similar circumstances and Melisandre was warning him. But I have the feeling that Melisandre is going to save him at the last minute and he's not really going to die.
Man, I love Barristan. About Ashara's baby... I really don't see Ned as the type to have sex with a highborn lady and just leave her like that. Even if he didn't know that she was pregnant, I think he's more the type to marry her after dishonoring her, like Robb did with Jeyne. BUT. It could be that he actually was going to marry her and had promised her so, but at the end was forced to marry Catelyn for the sake of Robert and his rebellion. That would be fitting with Ashara's suicide and the fact that Ned seems to feel guilty for the things he did in the past, and things involving Ashara. The father of Ashara's baby could also be Brandon, of course, and he does seem the type to do that. I hope we learn all the truth about this in the next book.
