It appears so, but I don't see the bread crumbs or hints for this. I mean, who on the planet knows about Bloodraven? And, would they know about Bran? This would be an interesting assignment for Arya.

at a bare minimum, Marwyn the Mage should know about Bloodraven due to the glass candles. Quaithe may as well, however we're all much less sure how her magics or abilities work.

luved this post.

just imagine how much the faceless men would charge for something like that.

a large part of me believes that Jaqan was after something that was north of the wall, and that Sam took it with him when he left for Oldtown. Jaqan was going to the wall, and for that to me a thing, im forced to believe Jaqan wanted to be captured and sent to the wall. however, the next time we see him is with Pate in Oldtown. the only thing that has changed are the location of Sam, Gilly, Maester Aemon, and whatever possessions they brought with them on the voyage. and imo, its one of those things that Jaqan is (for whatever reason) going after.

Ok. As usual, you've lapped me. But, I don't see a connection to Bloodraven. I can pull out Feast, but give me a hint what I'm missing. I know Mage is a bit of a renegade at Citadel. Has pumped Sam for info and learned about Maester Aemon. And, is now headed out seeking Dany. I'm guessing to help her with her dragons and get her butt to Westeros. Missing a Bloodraven-FM connection.

How far-fetched do you guys think this is?

It's something I've considered as a possibility but never too seriously, not nearly as much as Jon Snow anyway.

is he really the most likable? I mean hes fucking likable..but is he unanimously so among the entire non-nerd cool and normal spectrum of pals?

I don't know any premium TV fans that weren't already interested in fantasy before getting into GoT. Forget about the books. Doubt anyone else here does either.

Good point though, it could be all or mostly Dinklage.

Martin has planted clues. Whether that was to "entertain" us or there's something to it, we'll have to wait. Based on trailer, the show could be getting into this.

Azzar, I would count myself a non-nerd. I've never read another fantasy novel, unless we're counting Harry Potter. Although I have read magical realism and enjoyed - like Marquez, Allende, Murakami. Can i use this as a defense for being so dense?

Pretty hooked on ASOIAF, though.

I don't think Tyrion is most likeable, especially in books. He is relatable. Emotional attraction to the disadvantaged. He is in a small group of characters that I've both liked and disliked (or been disappointed in).

3 1/2 days to go!
