So my Husband and I are talking about The new season and some of the old. We're wondering if the red Priestess is bringing Jon Snow back, because he is the only one with kings blood. What do you think?
People who we think are still alive or will be
The hound- Don't actually show him die
Jon Snow- above why
Arya sword instructor- Don't see him dead
Which ties into what was Jaqen H'ghar doing caught in a cage. He is a bad ass mother fucker who was in the strong hold ganking people left and right and can change faces. He can take sight and do all this stuff so why was he in that cage? we think he was Arya's sword mentor
Two things will happen at Kingslanding crazy Religious nuts will take over or Zersie will win with the mountain and she will loose a lot of people.
Also Jamie is pissed about what happened to his daughter What will happen their?
Sansa is a sadly protected by Theon and little finger so her ass can't get ganked. Stupid Bitch I hate her.
Daenerys is captured but has the two men coming for her but that one guy has greyscale so let's see if he can stop it. Also want Daenerys to be slapped for locking up her dragons like a dumbass.
Bran I hope is going to be a dragon rider, that be really cool.
also if Jon Snow lives he is gonna be pissed and rage the hell out.
Let me know what you think will happen or ask for more info on certain things I have said.
My thoughts;
-Jon is almost certainly going to get resurrected, but we probably won't like what comes back. Berric Dondarian, that dude we haven't seen in ages who keeps getting saved from death by Thoros of Myr, mentioned that every time he's brought back, he's less of who he was before. Knowing GRRM and how Game of Thrones usually rolls, getting Jon back from the dead isn't going to be the usual heroic resurrection we're used to seeing in other stories.
-The Hound is alive, I believe. A scene in the books heavily implies this, but I don't want to elaborate and risk potential spoilers for the show only crowd. Plus, in my heart Cleganebowl still has to be a thing.
-I think Syrio Forrel (I'm probably butchering that spelling, but fuck it) is dead. Lots of people die off screen in the show and he wasn't that important of a character. I'm pretty sure if he did survive his duel, word would have gotten out and not just brushed off. Plus, I think the whole "water dancing" style he taught Arya is kind of a deconstruction of the trope of a mythical martial art or fighting style besting everything else. Every time we see Arya try to fight anyone that isn't just straight up murder, she gets shut down hard, and the water dancing wasn't effective against a heavily armoured knight with extensive training and combat experience, especially with a wooden sword.
For the same reason I don't believe he's Jaquen. Syrio had a reputation as being the First Sword of Braavos, and there wouldn't be much reason for the Faceless Men to occupy a position in Kings Landing for such a prolonged period of time only to become fixated on Arya after Ned hires him to teach her, and then fucking off back to Braavos shortly after. Why was he in Kings Landing? If it was to assassinate somebody in court, he must not have completed his mission. The Faceless Men don't strike me as the kind of people who hold down an identity for longer than it takes to do their assignment.
-Hard to say what's going to happen in King's Landing, but I'm pretty sure this is going to tear a bigger rift between the Great Houses and the common folk. I think the Sparrows as we know them are pretty much done for the moment either the Lannisters or Tyrells march on them. The only reason they haven't is because their high born namesakes are being held hostage. They have to move soon because they're losing face to a bunch of commoners and religious zealots in a city they supposedly control with an iron fist.
-The Lannisters will seek retribution against Dorne, and how they will go about it remains to be seen, but they're in a position where they can't march their army down there because of everything else that's going on (including the Lannisters being hugely broke and more or less holding the bag for the massive debt the crown owes to the Iron Bank). Not sure how this is going to play out, but Dorne doesn't want to evoke the wrath of the combined might of the Seven Kingdoms... or at least the ones that aren't in open rebellion against the throne.
-Nobody's safe in Game of Thrones. Sansa might meet a horrible fate, but you should probably cut her some slack. She'd just hit puberty at the beginning of the series, and was forced from her comfortable and safe life into a hard reality where her family was murdered and she's had to adapt to try and survive without knowing who to trust. I doubt she's going to trust Littlefinger again after being bartered off to the Boltons and raped and terrorized at the hands of Ramsay. Seriously, she's still a teenager who doesn't know if anyone in her family's alive and hasn't been in a position to find out. Most people in her position would make a lot of the same choices, or worse. This is coming from a guy who absolutely hated her for the first couple of seasons because of how annoying she was and I still don't like reading Sansa point of view chapters in the books. It's kind of like the hate Theon gets thrown his way for betraying the Starks; once again, sixteen year old kid who's been told his entire life that he's little more than a glorified prisoner to the Starks who will kill him if his father strikes out again, and thinking he can bring their houses closer together to fight the Lannisters, ends up discovering his father can't be reasoned with and he has to prove himself if he wants to be accepted. So you end up with a young man who is making world changing decisions without any experience because he wants to be accepted and loved by somebody, and he comes to realize too late that he made a terrible mistake, and he ends up paying for it in the worst way possible.
In short, people need to cut Sansa and Theon some slack.
Dany's probably not going to be rescued by anyone, but she may find being khaleesi still counts for something even among other Dothraki. She wasn't dumb for containing her dragons because they were straight up starting to murder innocent people while the biggest one ran away and is unaccounted for and she's trying to figure out how to govern and rule, but is finding out that it's a fucking impossible job to balance being kind and benevolent while maintaining a powerful military presence. If she ever gets back and starts to reassert her power, I imagine she's going to largely be done trying to play nice with the local customs and fully embrace what it means to be Targaryen and let her dragons have free reign, since they're a part of her and super symbolic on so many levels.
I don't think Bran's going to be seen by anyone ever again. Part of his story arc seems to be erasing his identity to embrace his potential with his abilities. Plus, the White Walkers are becoming more and more powerful and we saw what it cost him just to reach the Three Eyed Raven. There's no going back, not while winter is coming.
-As mentioned in the other thread, if Jon is resurrected I think he's not going to be quite the same person.
