Obviously the kingguard is Clegane--that's been building up since his fight with the Red Viper. Although unless he's headless/has a different head, i'm curious about the skull sent to Dorne.
Jon had the right idea, namely in not focusing just on Wildlings being just as human as Westerosi, but that the dead Wildlings would become Others -- Bowen Marsh and those guys are being retarded, but I can definitely understand him just bringing in a shitload of Wildlings onto the Wall as being frowned upon. Kind of a dumb move. I'm really surprised at the lack of support that Jon is getting from the South, it really pisses me off.
The circumstances are a lot different in this Jon assassination than with Lord Mormont -- in that the killers are still going to be out and about on the Wall. Wonder what will happen to them? Will the Wildlings take over? They have weapons and Jon was pretty much their only tie to being loyal to the Night's Watch.
I'm really curious what's going on with Ramsay and Stannis? How did Ramsay know all that shit in the letter if he hadn't beaten Stannis? Unless he had just heard of Lightbringer and doesn't actually have it. The whole Mance Rayder thing is pretty funny.
I have no fucking idea where Rickon is. It's starting to get annoying, he hasn't had one chapter in the entire series I don't think. If they just plop him as Lord of Winterfell in the last book i'm going to be pissed. But I imagine there will be a lot more development with him and Davos in the next book.
I'm also upset Dany has no control over Drogon yet, but I think with the ending of this book she's starting to bond with him more -- sharing his meals and such. Should be interesting what happens with the Khalasar that just showed up --it was kinda her rival, I wonder how that will pan out
