Has there been a time that the Panthers looked terrible in pre-season and then came out and played amazing in the regular season?

For my next re-read of the series I'm thinking about reading just 1 character at a time. Like read all of Tyrion's chapters from GoT through ADwD. It might not work out at all but it might be pretty interesting.

It actually kind of reads like they don't even know what they're doing and/or can't control it. I remember one of them says "it wasn't me" or something like that as he stabs, and another is crying and afraid. Could have been sorcery controlling them.

I just think the formula fits exactly what grrm likes to do. Brienne's chapter ends with her hanging, she shows up in the next book. Arya's chapter ends with her getting axed in the head, she shows up in the next book. Davos has his head and hands hung from the wall at White Harbor, he shows up in the next book.

If I recall correctly, RR Martin has only said that his parents will be revealed.  Not that John Snow will ever know who they are.

He said Jon will find out who they are.

BTW I think John Snow is dead as a doornail. I think his death throws the nights watch into disarray and Snows death is what allows the white walkers to penetrate the wall and unleash a wintery hell on Westeros.

I also think the Hound is alive and well and he will be an important character by the end of the books.

Yeah it's made pretty clear that Sandor is the new grave digger at the place he's supposedly buried.

If the only remaining plans for Gendry in the books are him hanging out at that inn or wherever when we last saw him, I'm cool with him dying.

George has also flat out said Jon will eventually learn who his mother is. Hard to do when you're dead.

The only way I know Jon is not dead is that his chapters were just way too much fuging boring ass north/wall stuff to not matter.

The Westeros.org people, the ones writing the World of Ice and Fire book.

I think they're referring to the one about Jeyne Westerling being an imposter based on her first being described with wide hips, and then Jaime later describing her with slender hips. Elio and Linda have always gotten really uppity (as they are prone to do) about that theory for some reason, insisting it's just a fact-checking mistake.

That's a little cheap for grrm i think.

Incorrect good sir. The Targaryens controlled their dragons using magic. Like the horn 'dragonbinder' currently in the possession of Victarion Greyjoy. I believe that horn will ultimately be sounded by Daenerys because the horn is inscribed with these words: "I am Dragonbinder, No Mortal man should sound me and live, Blood for Fire, Fire for Blood"

Daenerys is not a mortal man.

She is mortal. Remember, she had her hands burned by Drogon. Her immunity to fire is up in the air as of ADWD.
