    Really, that'd be awesome. Maybe the Braavosi have some hidden ace up their sleeve, eh?

    Itīs kind of a blend. For one, the scenes with Arya and Tywin were pretty interesting, had solid performances on both parts and had a lot of subtlety to it. The problem is that all of that becomes pointless when you realize that those scenes werenīt leading up to anything. And so, it becomes a waste of time. My theory is that they needed to give some more screen time to Tywin to showcase his personality to the audience, and maybe also be cause of contractual obligation with the actor, who knows.

    As for the character development, well, i donīt really envision Tywin minding at all about a low life mopping brat that serve him his dishes and fills his cups, much less maintaining conversation with her periodicaly.

    I don't get the vibe he is somehow minding her but more that he knows that Arya has secrets and he enjoyed trying to figure her out and how she tries to prevent him from finding out. In essence he considers her an interesting person however of no consequence

    My feelings as well. She's something for him to figure out, nothing more and nothing less. He just took interest in her because she was smart enough to disguise herself as a boy while traveling.

    Man, I didn't see this thread before now... .

    Do firearms belong in fantasy, though?

    Would they have had any with Roose Bolton?

    So I'm about 2/3 of the way through this book, so much rage inducing moments but so much more interesting than the last book. As far as I've read, 3>1>>>>2

    A lot of people consider book 3 the best, it's certainly more action packed - particularly the part you've got to! Plenty more to enjoy too

    I would dare say this is the reason. Two important characters falling off the Earth doing nothing doesn't help to characterize them as important on a TV show so they had to find something to do for them so the audience still knows where they are.

    Well, Roose needs to be more fleshed out, and fast. He's basically one of the main antagonists of book 5.

    We have Mance!

    I guess it makes sense with all the characters aged up, Hinds is a great actor.

    And we have ourselves a Mance Rayder!

    Ciarán Hinds, best known for playing Julius Caesar in Rome, has been cast in the role. A great choice, even if Caesar was a bit more unexpected compared to Mark Antony. Baring Ramsey, I think we now have a full house

    Edit: Damn, curse you! Ninjad by a few minutes!

    Great choice for Mance! Was not expecting it but I am glad they made this decision now. He will bring Mance to life.

    Guys I developed a theory. Could it be that the "Song of Ice and Fire" have multiple meanings - such as : Starks/Northerners either allying or engaging in a war with Targaryens or the White Walkers clashing with the Lord of Light and his red priests/followers/whatever?

    There's so much theories about the name.

    It might be about the opposites of ASOIAF, like R'hllor and the Great Other.

    Or, a popular theory, that it's a reference to Jon - Rhaegar (fire) + Lyanna (Ice) = Jon ,Ice and Fire. Again, it's just a theory.


    Me, I just think Martin wanted an awesome name for the series and chose that.
