The red lady is going to bring jon back since she needs a king to follow since stannis is long gone. Jon will turn out to be related to khalessi and he will save the day. I'm guessing Jon doesn't show back up till the end of the season after his body was dug up by the sexy red head.

It's not likely after Miss 'Triassic Attack' turned diva and refused to do any kind of nudity. Personally I'd love it if they canned her and replaced her with a hotter, younger unknown that was willing to get naked and work for peanuts. Then take that extra $3M they saved and apply it towards the upcoming big battles. |

That scene definitely will happen, but if you're referring to the "given her character" comment, you're right. With the way they intentionally went out of their way to ruin major characters who stood in their golden girl's way and/or wronged her family it's very possible they will ruin the character mentioned. |

I don't get why as many valerian steel daggers as there are, why don't the rich houses buy a few and then have the steel of them melted off into a single real sword for practical use....
It's said house Lannister lost theirs and Tywin couldn't buy one off anyone else but surely he could have afforded a few daggers and then had them recast as swords....

Valyrian steel is pretty much the unobtanium of the Martin-verse. Ridiculously expensive and exceedingly rare. The only place where you can commonly find it is in Valyria itself, and almost no one wants to risk a trip through that hellhole. This means the few houses that do have objects made from the material are completely unwilling to give them up. Including daggers. |

You realize how much steel is in a sword versus a few daggers, right? Then you have to get one of the few rare smith's that can rework them.
