martin's statement that the end would be 'bittersweet' is suggestive of a "death = new beginning" event.  azor ahai quenching lightbringer is an obvious thought, but that's only a 'fire' component.  and i'm starting to wonder if R+L=J--where J is the song--might be misdirection.  we have a bunch of resurrections via r'hllor (associated with fire), but the white walkers are also necromancers, and we've seen inklings that they aren't some kind of unadulterated evil (like zombies).  

so it seems like any climax isn't just going to be the unveiling of parentage, but an engagement between these two 'supernatural' entities.  and a satisfying conclusion has to be a dialectical synthesis of the two, a la yin/yang perhaps.  here's where it goes sideways, because dany has had what amounts to direct intercourse with fire (the unburnt).  jon hasn't had the equivalent with ice.  we assume that melisandre is going to revive jon, but if she does, then jon is kinda fire also.  so i'm starting to wonder if it might not be the white walkers who revive him somehow (via benjen/coldhands).

i'm kinda wandering around here, thinking out loud.  seems to me that we know certain things that have to happen to bring the story to a conclusion, the only question is who does them, and who is standing at the end.

I don't see Jon dying again.


If i may inquire, where do you see him at the end of the story?

Him and Dany ruling the Seven Kingdoms together (or what's left of them) sounds a little too story-book to me.

dany's "gift" manifested at drogo's funeral pyre.  maybe the fire at the tower wasn't strong enough and his own funeral pyre will be what tempers him?  or based on "cold preserves, fire destroys, unleashes his bad side?  lots of chekhov's guns laying around, it's hard to guess which one he'll pick up

Well, we know one thing's for certain.

The show will be pretty much finished up by the time Georgie boy puts out the first copies of Winds of Winter, if he ever does.

James Faulkner has been cast to play Sam's father Lord Randyll Tarly (terrific casting, IMO).





Samantha Spiro has been cast to play Sam's mother.




Rebecca Benson has been cast to play Sam's sister.

Also, something interesting I caught on in the 'World of Ice and Fire' is apparently there is a series of forts similar to the wall in Yi Ti in the far East of Essos, built to defend against the "demons of the lion of the night" suggesting White Walkers aren't only a Westeros problem! :o

if that's what you took away from my post, you might want to read a bit more carefully.  especially since you're claiming the written word as your wheelhouse.  



i'm sure i don't have to remind you of the etymology of 'trope' and its relationship to modality.  now, in your literary approach to tropes, you see them as elemental building blocks--little semiotic codas that are bundled together into a narrative ('figures of speech,' such as metaphor).  however, the ontological state of 'being a brother' is also a trope--it is the instantiation of a broad abstract category.  the blueness of a car is a trope.  the redness of an otherwise identical car is a trope--they are instantiations of difference within a category of similarity (car-ness), just like the car-ness of those cars is the instantiation of difference within vehicle-ness (against, say, truck-ness).  now, trope theorists will argue loud and long as to whether a trope is a thing itself or just the property of a thing, but one way or the other, it's clear that a trope is more than a cluster of words in a narrative or an argument.  



long story short, the fantasy genre, the western genre, and every other genre constitute tropes of storytelling.  they are distinct (fantasy-ness, etc.), but they relate to one another (how a particular thing--storytelling--is done).



that said, your parochial attitude is par for the course among literary theorists, who appropriate terms from philosophy and critical theory to claim as their own, without really having understood them.  the amount of half-baked philosophy i've encountered among english majors is staggering.  i can accept technical uses of a term ('mass' means something specific in a scientific context), but it elicits a chuckle when someone imperiously corrects someone...incorrectly.



his usage was not incorrect.

YMMV, and all that rot.







you're referring to the term as it is used strictly within your narrow field.  the term is far more extensive.  the fantasy genre is a storytelling trope.



me?  i just study semiotics.
My "narrow field" as an editor of general published works in the real world where words mean things?



As opposed to your allegations of a difference of usage within the fantasy genre?





Are you fucking high?





Or are you attempting to be cute in constructing a trope?

I would be very surprised if those two meet up next season.  Especially early enough in the season for Jon to take a liking to her, notice she likes blue, and start wearing it himself because of it.

Or is it David and Dan are using the color blue to foreshadow something that everyone and their mother already knows is coming?

Some are saying that's Carice van Houten (Melisandre) under the umbrella, but it doesn't look like it to me.

What do you guys think?

With his hair tied back like that, it looks as if he's almost ready to become a kung-fu master.

It looks like it could be her, it looks like she has some sort of blanket on.



It's her, or the landlady from Kingpin

you're not wrong, but that's the worst possible way to carry a sword.

"let me show you all my vulnerable parts while i draw this thing, which is difficult to do because my arm is shorter than the blade."

Or maybe he doesn't need to carry it that way anymore.  Remember, that was how he was told to carry it until he'd put on a couple more inches...

Or hes really dead and they are just shooting flashback scenes

I think everyone is going to be disappointed. He said he was dead and would come back in some "capacity" meaning flashbacks.

At no point in the past did he ever wear Stark armor, with Longclaw on his hip.

Not to mention that looks like Carice Von Houten under the umbrella. Would the Red Woman appear in a Jon pre-Wall flashback?
