GoT theories - Spoilers

Started this off the back of the chat thread, where we didn't want to disclose spoilers for those that have only watched the series.

What do you think happens?

Poor Jon Snow. Stabbed... to death? I think so, but Melisandra is at the wall. he'll be brought back. His vows to the watch ended since he died. I have a sneaky feeling he will be on the Iron throne due to his parentage.
(Rhaegar and Ned Starks sister (can't remember her name)

I really see Dany going the way of Mad King Aerys. I think someone will put an end to her the way Jaime did Aerys, possibly Tyrion. There is a lot of indication of the bond between the 2 brothers, i think both of them will be "kingslayers"

A big 'un - Eddard Stark, is he dead? I've heard theories that a faceless one took his place. Varys seems to be in control of a lot more than he appears (and he appears to be in control of a lot) I have a sneaking suspicion that these theories are right and he and Arya will meet up.

What happened to benjen?

I think Ned is probably dead. The gravedigger is definitely the Hound but I don't know if he will come back. I think Jon will definitely be kept alive.

The things I'm wondering...

Is that really Prince Aegon?

Will Dorne ever get their revenge? (I loved the revelation of the long game Prince Martell was playing)

What on earth is going on with the Citadel people? I found that all really confusing, need to read again.

Is Victarion now undead, like Beric was? What's going to happen when the fleet gets into Dany's war?

What happened to Rickon?

Also, I'd love to see Zombie Cat, Newly Savvy Sansa, and Assassin Arya in the same room again. Just to see how much general freaking out there would be.

Really hope jon lives and rules winterfell.
Dany is just annoying now.
Would love tyrion to sit on the iron throne but doubt it will happen.

I love the Ned being replaced by a faceless assassin, brilliant theory.

Yes, I think Mel will bring Jon back, hopefully like you say he will be released from his vows, the nights watch could fall all together anyway when the others attack. I don't think I would like to see him in kingslanding. I would prefer to see him as king in the north at Winterfell.
Yeah I think the iron throne will go, possibly with kingslanding, either Dany or Cersei will burn the city to the ground I think.

Who do you think the Valonqar is ?
I know a lot of people think it is Jaime, but I think possibly the hound, who will fight Robert Strong / un Gregor as the Septons champion. I know he supposed to be dead, but I think he is the grave digger at the monestry type place.

Maybe the whole iron throne will get melted down.

Trills · 31/01/2014 10:16

I don't think that parentage is going to be terribly relevant in who gets the Iron Throne - it'll be taken by strength or by cunning, not given by inheritance.

so do i, but i am doing my best to avoid it!

Ned's sister is Lyanna.
Marking my place for a proper chat later, have annoyingly got lots of rl stuff to do this morning.
