Thanks for the derailment everyone...I'm loving the direction this is taking
So far, I don't really see any character as "perfect".
The conflict between Stannis and Jon is becoming interesting (finally).
Now that Jorah is gone, the Dany story is relatively dry...until she meets up with Tyrion
I'm hoping the Hound isn't dead, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for his return.
So far, IMO, the character with the best direction is Jaime....of all the characters in the story, his changes and revelations are the best done. The revelation about him becoming the Smiling Knight rather than Ser Arthur was masterful.
Bran's story is the least interesting ATM...but has the potential to not suck depending on what direction he takes once he becomes whatever he's bound to become...(wizard or whatnot)
