[SPOILERS] A Dance With Dragons

[Zoupa]

So I'm re-reading AFFC, and in one of the Sansa chapter Littlefinger asks her "Which is more dangerous? The enemy in front of you or the friend with dagger drawn behind your back?"

Know what he's eating while giving her the lecture? A pomegranate.

GRRM is insane.

Well Daenarys and Jon got the incompetence part*, so of course Aegon should get the mad part.
Rightful king Ramsay Bolton is, of course, the wise Targaryen.

*or maybe it's just them being teenagers.

Since when Ramsay Bolton is a Targaryen?

I don't get it. What's the relevance of the pomegranate?

[Jaron]

I think they call Bowen Marsh pomegranate

I found it:   "Not so," objected the Lord Steward, Bowen Marsh, a man as round and red as a pomegranate. "You ought to hear the droll names he gives the lads he trains." ...

Did anybody here realize Lord Manderly's "pork pies" had the 3 dead Freys in it?
If so what was the clue?

I kept thinking it was poison and he was going to go down while poisoning everybody at the feast.

[Jaron]

Me too. I didn't think he'd cannibalize Freys.

That's what I thought too. I totally missed the cannibalism part until I saw it in the forums.

I think that the main clue was him regretting not asking the bard to tell the story of the Rat Cook, a legend that also had cannibalism a la Titus Andronicus on it. That and his eagerness in serving the Freys the best pieces of both pies.

[Iormlund]

Yes, it was the Rat Cook mention.

[grumbler]

Yes, it was the Rat Cook mention.

Re-read that section.  You will find that there are lots of clues, once you are sensitized to them.

So, this Brynden dude that is a 3 eyed crow greenseer, I bet he is an Stark.
I always thought the 3-eyed-crow was one of the children of the forest.
How come so many Starks are skinchangers and greenseer?
