I really hope they do Arthur Dayne justice next week.
“... I learned from Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, who could have slain all five of you with his left hand while he was taking a piss with the right....”
- Jaime Lannister “The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne, who fought with a blade called Dawn, forged from the heart of a fallen star. They called him the Sword of the Morning, and he would have killed me but for Howland Reed.”
– Eddard Stark |

So, if Jon comes back as AA will he retain Jon Snow memories and persona or will he be a completely different person living in Jon Snow's former body? Or, potato?  Barrion and Lady Stoneheart both remember who they are/were in the books. |

Barrion and Lady Stoneheart both remember who they are/were in the books. True, but they were not foretold in some prophecy as some "God" reborn in the flesh. Not disagreeing, I just wonder if he comes back with some ancient knowledge or with a course of action that he now must do that he didn't have before. Or if someone will have to say, "You must be AA and he was prophesied to do this so now you must do this". Does that make since? |

I've seen no evidence at this point that Bran has powers of that kind, so I'm not sure why that's such a strong theory. My point, though, was that I don't think the Melisandre-Jon thing is as straightforward as it appeared on the surface. I have a feeling things will be clarified though. |

I'll predict that Jon doesn't have to do any fucking-upping once he walks out the room breathing again. Thorne shits bricks, drops to his knees and swears undying devotion to him once he realizes the gravity of his errors. Everyone else falls in line. Once again, the Watchers on the Wall are unified. Davos does more diplomatic work stressing that people need to band together against the undead/White Walkers. Heads will definitely roll. I highly doubt Jon 2.0 is going to as merciful as his previous self. I certainly hope so, I want Jon 2.0 to be the GoT equivalent of this guy (but with less dick-swinging)

I don't the whole "who's jon going to plunge the sword into?" discussion.
1) That was ONE VERSION of the story regarding Azor Ahai that come from the Red God people. B) Nearly every culture has some story of how the humans defeated the Others that is centered around a Hero of some sort, in Westeros nobody outside Mel and Thoros would know wtf you were talking about if you said "Azor Ahai". They think it was the First Men and Children of the forest with the help of some "Last Hero" (likely one of the First Men, maybe a Stark), and then they all have a BBQ and raise a magic wall. 3) On Sothoros they've probably got their own version. D) At any rate the Sword has already been forged since we have a whole story about it so there is no point in him plunging it into anyone's heart because his wife Nissan Xterra already fell on that grenade for Humanity's sake 8,000 years ago. |

And Jon will answer " I am no longer Jon Snow, I am now Azor Ahai!". Or, will the people be like "Holy shit! Its Azor Ahai!". At this point I think we will have to just wait and see. |

Yeah, like I said nobody outside Volantis and maybe a few other free cities nobody knows what an Azor Ahai even is. In Westeros, there was a warrior called the "Last Hero" who finally defeated the Others...with a lot of help from the other First Men and COTF. Although that does remind me - Last Action Hero wasn't a bad movie. Arnie gets a lot of shit over it but I thought it was funny. Remember the part where Stallone is playing Terminator and Arnie was like "he was great in the movie!" I'm drunk, carry on with your Doomsday Night's King talk. Although I still maintain that both the Night's King was a Stark (remember always a Starrk on the Wall) and the "Last Hero" was also likely a Stark. Jon being an obvious Targ makes my theory weird but don't discount Bran and Rickon. Jon can do enough cool shit without defeating the Night's King and stealing Brans glory. He's a bastard anyway and no one likes him. |

Edd ran out to tell whatshisname (the one that always talks about his "member" and says "harr!" to everything) and the other Wildings that Jon has been murdered for saving them from a certain death. They are not happy by this turn of events. Castle Black isn't really a Castle because after the Night's King all the Northern Lords demanded their "castles" be accessible from the rear since they had a giant wall to the front and that was where the threat was. So anyway, Edd tells, whatshisfuckingname, he's Mance's right hand, dammit I'm not googling, anyway Edd tells the "me member Harrr!" guy and they coming running to get vengeance on Jon's killers. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
it's always a stark in winterfell, not the wall. But both I mean. Obviously always a Stark in Winterfell, until recently, but remember when Ned is talking it up to Jon and saying shit like "You really are my blood, you're a Stark, and there's always been a Stark on that wall because we know how important it is blah blah blah." And then Ned's like I just totally got rid of my whore of a sister's bastard by sending him to be raped nightly by a bunch of criminals in the coldest most inhospitable place on earth, and he laughs about it. Ok that second part wasn't in there but I'm pretty sure the first was. The first 1/3 of the first book. I don't know he said ALWAYS but he said something to that affect, like any second or third Stark son would serve on the Wall if they were able. I'm sure at some points they weren't but I think he was trying to say that for Jon's sake there needs to be a Stark on the Wall. You know, your uncle isn't a kid anymore and has the most dangerous job in the world as first ranger so you need to go up there and be the Stark on the wall because we always try to represent our House up there and treat them well when they come through here. I don't know. I'm rambling. Anyone else remember Ned saying that or am I talking out my ass? I did a full re-read of all 5 thinking that 6 coming out before the season (burn in hell grrm, you lazy whore) and I swear I think he said that. |

I'm leaning this way now as well and think gray scale friendzone is going to fetch the sword from the relics abandoned in Valyria when his condition gets bad enough that he can get in and out unmolested. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I don't the whole "who's jon going to plunge the sword into?" discussion. 1) That was ONE VERSION of the story regarding Azor Ahai that come from the Red God people. B) Nearly every culture has some story of how the humans defeated the Others that is centered around a Hero of some sort, in Westeros nobody outside Mel and Thoros would know wtf you were talking about if you said "Azor Ahai". They think it was the First Men and Children of the forest with the help of some "Last Hero" (likely one of the First Men, maybe a Stark), and then they all have a BBQ and raise a magic wall. 3) On Sothoros they've probably got their own version. D) At any rate the Sword has already been forged since we have a whole story about it so there is no point in him plunging it into anyone's heart because his wife Nissan Xterra already fell on that grenade for Humanity's sake 8,000 years ago. I'm leaning this way now as well and think gray scale friendzone is going to fetch the sword from the relics abandoned in Valyria when his condition gets bad enough that he can get in and out unmolested. I like that. And since he's a dead man walking anyways, he finds Queen Snacksalot and her Crones of the Round Table and is all like "plunge this into my heart so you can save the world!" and as he lays there dying he remembers..."right she never did love me, that was all in my head, fuuuuuuuuu"...and dies. |

he's been called a stable boy since book 1 Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Since they go out of their way to call Hodor a stable boy; I'm betting he gets kicked in the head by a big assed horse. Hence---he's Hodor-ized. he's been called a stable boy since book 1 I'm betting he gets whacked in the head during a fight or something, since old Nan said something like, "You don't need to learn to fight, you're a stable boy." |
