Arya's reaction.

I will say, of all the things that died throughout the books', the Dire Wolves dying has usually been the one that stays with you the most.

Cuz the people..well they're all kinda jerks. Aside from a very, very select few, everyone has done something at some point that makes you think, "You know, if they just like..died..that'd be okay."

But the Dire Wolves. Just messed up, man. Just so messed up.

In the books, it isn't clear whether or not Arya is still alive when she gets knocked out by Sandor.  Martin ends a chapter with Arya getting taken out from behind.  When I read that, I was like, "Really?  On top of everything else, Arya is dead now, too?!"

I was a little disappointed they didn't create similar suspense around Arya's condition going into the next episode.

She is alive and well, meaning Arya.

Rob's wife in the books was not at the Wedding.

When I first read it I'm like she is not dead, but then it is like 200 pages before you get to her story again so I'm like, maybe she is dead.

That really is the one place you can point to and say Martin is consistent: He doesn't give a crap and he'll kill/revive/pretend to kill but actually not kill/revive whoever the heck he pleases, and if you don't like it he'll meet you by the bike racks after his 'Creepy Santa-Clause Look Alike' support group meeting.

I always found the story lines of Arya, Tyrion, Daenerys and Jon Snow to be the most compelling and feel they might be the most important, though obviously Bran's story line will be extremely important. I just never felt it very interesting.

I was disappointed not to see The Viper introduced this year as he should have been.

Can someone who has read all the books tell me (pm) their thoughts on Jon Snow.

same here.  I'd add Jamie Lannister to that mix as well.

for some reason I thought the Rob/Catelyn story line would eventually crossover to the Goffrey storyline and have a climactic ending/confrontation ending in one of their demises (hoping Little Finger would bite the dust in that storyline if possible).

so much for that.

Now my theories for the eventual storyline is either what's left of the Starks joins with Daenerys to overthrow Goffrey (Jon Snow is really fitting in here as her prospective ally/mate) OR the Starks (primarily Jon Snow now) overthrow Goffrey with the Wildings (which looks pretty slim now) and form a coalition of the remnants of Westeros to take on Daenerys.

I've felt for a long time that Jon Snow is destined to be with Danaerys.  Just makes too much sense with her being the mother of dragons and his last name being Snow.

I think she ends up marrying Stannis. After all the red god has been able to do if the red priestess says he is the true king I believe her.

Obviously you never read the books.

He knows nothing.

The argument someone made a couple pages ago that Jon Snow is Danaerys nephew is pretty compelling... though I guess that wouldn't necessarily throw out the possibility in this world.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't show up until the last half of book 3, which isn't in this season at all.

Tyrion met him on his way to Kings Landing and he is at the Royal Wedding in the book.
