I really didn't like Yigritte at all, she was one of those characters just mean for killing. She was so not going to live long. I think we are getting too many of those characters, mr. Martin, if you think you are still being inventive.
I'm fairly sure that there will be some twist on the whole AA/PTWP prophecy, but there probably still will BE some sort of AA.
The way it worked out in "Fevre Dream" was that prophesy didn't work out at all (I am just trying to be vague and non-spoilery)
There will be some sort of bloodbath, no matter if Jon is dead, dying, resurrected, whatever. :/
Oh, valonquar being "nay little brother" is a good point. It can be anyone, then . :D I have no trouble with Barristan being flawed. I was just somewhat disappointed that the most honourable, awesome knight in the realm was so ... well, disappointing. Tbh, Barristan felt very hypocritical to me in his chapters.
Oh, I agree with all that. I thought he was so Not True Knight (I like the True Knight debate). For me the main thing was that he was willing to try and saw his mistakes. And yes, he contradicted himself which just seemed so .. honest. One minute he will be having doubts, and another moment he will be still harping about chivalry. It just seemed so .. normal. I n short, it was Barristan's doubts I liked the most. Nothing is lost when a man is having doubts about his righteousness.
Where Ned was soooooo sure he didn't even talk to Renly. He could have talked to the Renly and tried to bring him to his reasoning, instead he just jumped on his high horse (but we discussed this before).
I WANT DARTH DANY SO MUCH my brain hurts too.
I think R'hllor is too much show for me, nightfires and dramatic speeches and all that bullshit. I really like the Northern gods: they don't really expect you to do anything, there are no priests, and occasionally you go into a forest and talk to a tree when you want to be alone with yourself. It's the only kind of religion that doesn't make me go like "lol, what?"
Oh, yep, The showmanship side of R'hllor is sooo.. silly. This is why the Old Gods would have been the first choice for me too. But I do have to admit that the Red Priests are onto something.
