The Official Game of Thrones [A Song of Ice and Fire] Thread (includes spoilers)

Alright, this is bugging me.

Is it "ser-SAY" or "ser-SEE"? I always assumed "ser-SEE" but I hear enough youtube videos calling her "ser-SAY" that I am not sure.

Did he pre-soak the sword in blood? Because the last time he did that trick, he had to slide his hand down the blade and it was the blood that caught fire.

Maybe he just keeps getting more magical each time he dies.

I wonder if those brought back by the Lord of Light can be risen by the Night's King.

What I wonder is who will replace him in the book version of these events, assuming they are at all the same. Granted, we don't know for sure that he's dead for real, but that's what we've been told.

Maybe LSH herself.

Maybe LSH herself.

Hard to see her teaming up with Jon Snow given how much she hates him. But who knows?

At this point the show and books have diverged so much it is hard to make heads or tails.

I'm not so sure there is a terrible difference between the lord of light and the nights king.

The fact that they can see through things (trees and fire) and raise the dead.

Not sure it isnt just one being, or two beings working on the same side in some type of long con.

You're still holding out hope that there will BE a book version of these events

She hates him for being Ned's bastard. I think that if she knew the whole story (with Jon being Lyanna's son and not Ned's) that it would change the conversation completely. That was before she went bat cookoo after dying.

I think it would have changed Cat's opinion, but Lady Stoneheart is pretty much fueled entirely by hatred and revenge at this point. I doubt she'd give a fuck.

Maybe but her place in the books are a little out of line. What is her end game? She is just revenge? I think in the books, it makes more sense to somehow have Un-Cat raise Jon from the dead than Mel. She does know about Robb's will and how Robb named Jon KITN.

I also think the names of the swords will come to pass as well. Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper. I think they play a pivitol role in the story

The coolest Valyrian steel sword is Red Rain. What a badass name.
