    Arya seems to be a very strange, and largely irrelevant side story.

    I hope it has some final arc and connection to the plot, and isn't just some unresolved side story to fill time.

    It would seem likely that Arya's role will be to kill Ser Gregor. He's on the list, isn't he? Maybe even Cersei, but that is less likely.

    Couple of wildfire grenades would sort him out...

    I just hope the many face rigmarole isn't just a side plot, and that it has some significance in the resolutions...

    It was all a bit of a waste of time for me.

    If anyone is taking down The Mountain, it's his brother. The Hound to help Arya remove him from her list?

    I think arya is a lone wolf type, has her own agenda
    Which is mainly to wipe out all those that have wronged
    her family, The Starks... I think she's bloody brilliant !!!

    Will Gendry ever row on back into town. He's the last living Baratheon and claims as the rightful king.

    So Jon Snow may be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen but does this make a difference to anything. Bran is a cripple, and the three eyed crow so unlikely to actually want the throne. The lords of the North have already chosen Jon (a bastard) over Sansa so it might not make a difference that he is Lyanna's son rather than Ned's. The crucial things were that he had support of the Wildlings and that Robb named him heir.

    To be honest, I can see Sansa & Jon just swearing fealty to Dany anyway in order to fight the White Walkers so it will be a moot point.

    With Tyrion coming back to Westeros with Dany, where does this leave his marriage to Sansa??

    I always mention him to people and NOBODY remembers him just rowing off. Surely he's got a role to play?

    Nah

    He is an irrelevance in the big picture. He can't add anything to a very crowded battle for plot time.

    Why ever introduce him then as a potential rightful heir? It was a significant storyline in whichever series it was.

    Gendry was introduced as one of Robert Baratheon's many (8 was the number mentioned in the books) bastards when Cersei was trying to eliminate them after Robert's death to remove challengers for Joffrey.

    In the TV show his story has been merged with that of another of Robert's bastards, Edric Storm. One of many examples where the TV has merged lesser characters for expediency.

    In the books Edric ends up under Stannis's protection to provide the royal blood Melisandre needed in the spell to kill the rival claimants, Joffrey, Robb & Balon Greyjoy. But Davos rescues him and puts him on a boat to parts unknown (an actual sailing ship, not a rowboat). Gendry joined the Brotherhood Without Banners (as he did on TV) but remains with them in the books (Mel never makes the trip to go find him as she already has Edric). This makes a lot more sense than Gendry surviving Mel's magic and rowing off into the sunset.

    Yes he does, with the Brotherhood Without Banners. But that storyline hasn't been followed by the TV (at least not yet).

    Predictions:

    Jaime will strangle Cerci with his golden hand after some rough sex.

    The wall will fall. (that's not really a prediction, it will happen)

    John will find out who he is near the end of next season.

    One of the dragons will die.

    Arya will encounter Mellissandre, perhaps try to kill her.

    Hoping the Hound and Arya meet again.

    Little Finger is going to **** things up big time in some way or another. The hound will be involved somehow.

    Yes in theory he's also a bastard Targaryen. He was either incredibly lucky to not be eaten by starving dragons when he freed them (or the one) or it's because he's Targaryan.

    3 dragons, one for D, one for John, one for Tyrion.

    they're the real rules of the kingdoms.

    1 ) think Tyrion will in effect lead to "victory" , Dragon Bint by removing all rulers and kingdoms to put in place a post monarchist system of democracy .
    A republic :eek:

    2 ) i expect boring Sam to find a boring solution to the WW in a boring book . . . he will bore Jon Snerr with his theory and together they implement a victory with anyone else able to drage the right sword out the closet :D

    Good call, much more likely than that her killing ser Gregor herself. The TV show hasn't really featured the brothers mutual emnity that much though
