SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU Don't want to know what happens in last book so far

Am sulking cos they killed off JS! How could he? Don't know what he was thinking! So haven't watched series 2 or 3 yet. Just can't get excited anymore

You don't know he's actually dead though... I admit it doesn't look good, but I'm clinging onto there being a chance..

SorrelForbes · 10/04/2013 17:20

No, I doubt very, very much that he's dead.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 10/04/2013 17:21

If its a cliffhanger, that sounds like a good omen to me

Havent read it yet though, just know what happens as I have no patience!

WildlingPrincess · 10/04/2013 17:24

I don't think he's dead.

adeucalione · 10/04/2013 17:25

I don't think he's dead, and it wouldn't be the first time GRRM has employed a bit of misdirection (Bran and Rickon).

Cactuar · 10/04/2013 17:37

I don't think he can be dead. He has to be one of the three heads of the dragon surely, along with dany. Not sure about the third yet. I think he is going to survive in ghost's body.

ImAlpharius · 10/04/2013 17:40

YANBU I was very stroppy at the end of that book and am clinging on to the hopethat he will still be around somehow.
I am also getting a little impatient on a parenthood reveal, and if ti isn't Lyanna and Rhaegar I am going to stomp my feet a lot.

Cactuar · 10/04/2013 17:53

He will definitely survive as there would be no point in the mystery surrounding his parentage which, as ImAlpharius has said has to be lyanna and rhaegar.

WildlingPrincess · 10/04/2013 17:56

Don't we find out about his parentage in the next book? He needs to be alive for that! If it's not Lyanna and Rhaegar I will cry. It makes sense to me.

UnfortunateUsername · 10/04/2013 17:58

Yep, totally not dead.

skaen · 10/04/2013 18:04

I don't think he's dead but it still pissed me off. YANBU.

GRRM - JUST GET ON WITH IT!

expatinscotland · 10/04/2013 18:08

You don't know if he's dead.

Undertone · 10/04/2013 18:11

Speculation for the third head of the dragon? Someone Dornish?

expatinscotland · 10/04/2013 18:12

I'm fairly certain that Lyanna and Rhaegar were his parents because of that part of the book, when Bran is visited by the 3-eyed crow. He tell the maester his father was in the crypts last night. And he tells him that Ned was sad. When asked why, Bran tells him because of Jon and something to do with Jon's mother.

MummytoMog · 10/04/2013 18:12

Totes not dead. Also surely Aegon is the third head right?

expatinscotland · 10/04/2013 18:13

Dany, Aegon and Jon.

expatinscotland · 10/04/2013 18:13

Maester Aemon is also not dead as far we know, and he, too, is a Targaryen.

MummytoMog · 10/04/2013 18:17

Maester Aemon is dead. He died ages ago. Did I miss another resurrection?

expatinscotland · 10/04/2013 18:20

Oh, shit, that's right, during the last book. I'm rereading them all again but am on Book 2.

Cactuar · 10/04/2013 18:21

Aegon would seem to be the obvious choice for the third head but I really thought it was going to be a woman. does not seem to be a candidate for another possible targaeryan female though so probably will be aegon. Will be a bit disappointed if it is though as he is a bit of a drip!

SummerRainIsADistantMemory · 10/04/2013 18:27

I don't watch the series because it's crap

Barely any sign of the wolves, dany is blonde, js is a wanky kid with a chubby face, they're trying to make cersai likeable, arya is pretty, sansa isn't.

I don't mind them changing minor stuff but when they alter pivotal aspects of the books it's just irritating.

Js definitely isn't dead btw, grrm wouldn't do that to us Grin

Remember he made us think the dragon was dead at the end of the last book and it was just misdirection.

catsmother · 10/04/2013 18:28

Never mind JS, I'm more concerned that George RR Martin is going to die before he finishes the story .....

Cactuar · 10/04/2013 18:31

Catsmother Grin

snuffaluffagus · 10/04/2013 18:51

I think he has the bulk of the next book written and outlines for the rest of the story. He's just spending loads of time on the TV series and then touring and doing talks and the like. Hopefully he'll get there eventually!

OzmaofOz · 10/04/2013 18:53

He won't die, look at Lady Stoneheart and Berric.
