As mentioned elsewhere.
Right, so being able to discuss freely.
Where the hell is Benjen Stark gone, will we see him again?
Have they revealed who Jon Snow's mother could be? I can't remember, but I think they intimated that it is someone, if anyone could remember who she is, where she comes into it...
The 6th book is apparently more about what has gone on north of the wall and the White Walkers, what do you think will be covered?
Which Targereyen do you back, Daneris or her nephew?

I think he isn't Ned's son, but his sister Lyanna's. When she died Ned decided to raise him as his own (a theory so could end up being rubbish!).
Unless the next one gets stellar reviews, I'm not going to bother.
Shame because I was hoping there would be a battle with the bastards jon and ramsay.
It could of course be stannis up to some fuckery writing that letter that wound jon and the wildlings right up before he got nutted. To get him stabbed up to be reborn as the fire sword man. He seemed to be in need of a hand stuck in the snow eating horses and frogs.
The story has got bloody huge and dear old george isn't getting any younger.
@themightyath2 I completely agree with you, I feel like its becoming increasingly suggested. The whole flying thing fits and he is a warg of impressive skill/power, each dragon can have only one master until they die and I believe Bran will become one of the dragonriders through the use of his powers. It fits perfectly in my opinion.
At first I though coldhands was Benjen, but you would think that Bran would recognise him. I think he'll be reintroduced soon, the reader hasn't been allowed to forget him in the books at all, Jon is always musing about him in his monologue or something.
Jaime Lannister - about to be killed by Catelyn Stark and taken to the same group as Berric Dondarion. I think Brienne is already part of this because she failed in her oath to Catelyn. I believe they are all part of The Lord of Light Rhlor's group, the same as Stannis, Melissandre etc
Brienne - as above
Cerci - taken by the nuns or the church in Kings Landing after accusing Margery Tyrrell of some sort of sexual act. It backfired on her and she was kept in some nunnery/prison. I think her uncle Tywin Lannister's brother has rescued her but she's still got a lot to answer for as Kings Landing is struggling to keep Lannister rule. Actually if anyone can give a brief overview of the state of kings landing, I'd be very grateful.
Tyrion - currently on that ship with the crew that are charged with protecting Danerys' nephew (the young Targereyn) as he makes his claim to the Iron Throne. I'm not sure where their ship is sailing to, I believe it is Kings Landing. I know that the guy who is protecting the young Targereyn, old griff (I think) has that greyscale disease but he isn't telling anyone. I can't remember how that old griff is connected with the Targereyns either....
Jon Snow - dying or dead on the wall, losing the faith of the brothers because he wants to help Stannis, rather than remain neutral
Bran - yeah, becoming a warg and looking like he will have a major say on what happens north of the wall. I have a feeling it will be him and nature (similar to the trees in Lord of the rings) that help stop the White Walkers
Rickon - who knows, taken away with Jojen Reed???? To safety somewhere
Stannis - marching on Winterfell but lost tons of his army as they encountered a huge blizzard. Does he have Asha Greyjoy with him after some battle, think he took her prisoner. Any input here would be good.
Theon Greyjoy - escaped Roose Bolton's bastard son at Winterfell (I think) - don't know if his escape coincided with that blizzard and got recaptured
Roose Bolton - hasn't he reformed some alliances or taken over as ruler of the north. I think this is an area of focus at the moment, but I can't remember
The other greyjoys - right Asha's uncles. Really haven't a clue here. Think they are sailing to kings Landing. I think one of them thinks he's going to find Danerys and wed her
Danerys - I think, the last I read was her struggling to control her dragons, and didn't she get in some fight in the far off land and is isolated with her dragons away from her army. I should know more given she is a focal character, but just can't remember
Petr Baelish or Littlefinger - I think he is finally getting his plan moving and making a run on Kings Landing, hence Cersi's arrest. I know he's also involved in protecting Sansa, but not sure where he's keeping her. Also can't remember the other guy's name who Littelfinger is often feuding with back in Kings Landing, he has no knob he's one of the unsullied I think. He's also a schemer and helped Tyrion escape Kings Landing
Arya - currently on some mental trip down south in one of those far away lands. Learning how to change into different people or skills Maesters have. I think she will come across that guy who gave the coin and killed 3 people for her 'Valour Morgalis' and all that
The hound - I think he's fallen part of Berric Dondarion's Lord of Rhlor crew as well
The Martells - I think they have Cerci's youngest daughter, and the Prince of Dorn's daughters are fighting against his will of what role they play in the battle. I can't remember much more of them
The Tyrells - I think Margery Tyrell's grandmother has sided with littlefinger in bringing down Cerci, that's about all I can remember there
Samwell Tarly - I think his dad is starting to play a role in the changing landscape of the north. As far as I can remember he's with that girl Gilly and her baby, I believe he's trying to find Arya
Jorah Mormont - got banished by Danerys, was last in the ship with Tyrion. I think he is trying to find Danerys again as believes she is under threat and needs his help.
That's about all I can remember. Spellings and place names I forget, so please feel free to add to it if something is wrong, needs more detail. What also made it difficult was that the 4th book focused on one set of characters, the 5th book another, so it is hard to remember those in the 4th and where they are at now
Arya is no one she is learning the ways of the faceless people and has just killed raff the sweetling
Tyrion and jorah and the young boy have landed back in westeros and jon connington is the dude with greyscale but is keeping that to himself.
Stannis is up to something, him and his army were banging drums outside winterfell which left he of no willy escape which has greatly upset the bastard. This could all be massive red herrings though
Varys got busy with a crossbow on a lannister and littlefinger is trying to nail sansa big time.
Samwell is either about to be taken seriously or killed by a monk
The two greyjoy boatmen are smashing the shit out of everything on water and one of them now believes in the red god because a monk saved his arm
Brienne and Jamie and Pod are in a world of shit too having to explain the whole clusterfuck to a dead but now alive catelyn stark.
Brann is turning into a tree
Hodor keeps saying 'hodor'
Can't wait to see their reactions to next week with Tyrion...
Jon Snow and his direwolf were attacked at the end of the book but I don't think we saw any reaction to them being dead so it's possible they are still alive. There are lots if discussions elsewhere about Jon being Ned's nephew instead of his bastard and that does make sense.
Gonna be interesting how they deal with the fifth and sixth books on TV
Long term she'll probably try and get revenge on Jamie, but Brienne will try and stop her. That is if Brienne hasn't already become part of that walking dead brigade and helps to kill jamie.
All this just makes me want the next book to come out, it's taking ages
What the producers are actually brilliant at doing is suggesting the action in the books while not actually showing it in great detail where it is not intrinsic to the narrative and embellishing those small details that actually carry more weight than the book might suggest. I'm thinking of the whole white walker scene with the baby especially which seemed a radical departure from the text but I think will be very important in the forthcoming seasons.
I personally can't wait to see how they deal with Arya's story when she gets to Braavos. How good was she when she started to giggle at the Black Gate? I may be a little in love with Maisie Williams - but just in a fatherly sort of way you understand.
Valar Morgulhis!
