LOL! I haven't seen that many things with Sean Bean, so that wasn't a clue for me, but yes, I also called that one in ep one. He had too many sons lined up, for one thing. And then he went and told Jon Snow "next time we meet, I'll tell you about your mother". That's like calling up someone and saying "I know who the murderer is, but I can't tell you over the phone! meet me in the abandoned warehouse so you can exclaim in horror over my still-warm corpse!"
Robb Stark made it for longer than I would have thought - and to be honest, I thought Robb's behavior on the Frey alliance / wedding issue was political suicide, and then agreeing to go to a wedding in Frey's stronghold *actual* suicide. I mean, what on earth did he expect to happen? That Frey would just let him get away with breaking his vow, incidentally ensuring that nobody ever felt called upon to keep a bargain with Frey ever again?
So the way that went down didn't surprise me at all; it would have surprised me if Frey *had* let Robb get away with that idiocy.
Thing is, I have a huge speculation post on a bunch of characters all ready to go, and I'm impatient. :-) But I do want people to actually talk to me about the subject, and I don't know if anyone but me - and you? - is interested this far ahead of the new season starting up!
