Spoiler alert: Content in this post has information about Sunday night's episode of "Game of Thrones."

Fans of George R.R. Martin's epic series "A Song of Ice and Fire" knew there would be blood.

Letting Littlefinger get away with murdering her aunt without even a word of reproach - and yes, she should know better - doesn't qualify as "bad guy actions"?

She's weak and frightened, but not "bad." Although I sometimes wonder, if she survives, what kind of person she might be if the shoe was on the other foot and she held the power of life and death over people. Compare her to the story of the young Caligula at the palace of Tiberius.

It’s Thoros of Myr.

I'm assuming this is in response to which "fan favorite" will die. I guess I don't consider Thoros of Myr as a "fan favorite". He is an interesting character; but, he doesn't show up a lot, does he?

I can tell you who is next to die if u wish, just scroll down a bit...hopefully the Others will just kill everybody and take over and be done with it..

Hm well.. that didn’t quite work out the way I planned... oh well.

[chris37]

It’s not.

It’s a response to “I thought that Dondarion brings back Cathlyn. He basically gives up his life so that she can live. She then becomes the leader of the Brothers without Banners. (If I am remembering this correctly.)”

It wasn’t Dondarion, it was Thoros of Myr.

Give you a hint

1. Fan favorite

2. Been naked.

and the first season was the beheading of Ned Stark

you realize... they've beheaded Ned Stark twice now

GRRMartin must really, really hate that character

;)

Based on the promo for the season finale, it doesn’t look like they have room to fit Joffrey’s wedding in there, too. JMO, but I could be wrong.

You are right. I remember saying to my husband that it looked like everybody was going to get some time in the last episode. I know that it is going to be 10 minutes longer than usual.

[TightyRighty]

You know....I was slightly disappointed, but then I don't think anything could have topped the book. I had such a visceral reaction to this chapter. It was so horrifying. Robb's death, Catelyn's mercy killing, the desecration of Robb's corpse with his wolf. But Fairley played her part really well. She was completely broken.

The question I have is - in book 5 - Robb's "wife" pops up again. And it's something that I'm not a big fan of the show about. Martin has weaved the storyline in as part of Sansa's story (iirc), but it seems the show has answered the question in Season 3.

I think book 3 is two seasons long on HBO. Don't have HBO and have not seen any season 3 episodes so not sure where the story-lines are at (Only about the topic of this thread of course ;-)

[ConjunctionJunction]

On HBO, they just did the Red Wedding. Only one episode to go!

Stark and Lannister are based on real character? What are the real names?

[diamond6]

I knew it was coming but I still cried.

So tired of Martin killing off characters all the time.
