Re: A character i can't wait to see more of

I would also like to see more of Sandor, but your probably rite it would ruin the misteryabout him. It's just a theory I have;that there will be another meeting between Sandor and Arya that just didn't feel finished .also I agree that a Jojin pov would be nice.

I'd say that for different reasons, there is zero chance of either a Jojen or Sandor POV.

Since GRRM wants to keep magic in ASOIAF mysterious, we'll never see a 'magical' POV like Jojen, Thoros, Melisandre or Howland. Plus, I suspect Jojen knows too much.

A Sandor POV, as others have said, resolves a different kind of mystery - what are Sandor's true feelings? (Not just towards Sansa, but also Arya and a number of other things.) It would destroy the character.

They start out ignorant. He and Dany are like the reader in that they know nothing of the world mysteries and so they are the best and safest way for us to find out.

Re: A character i can't wait to see more of

I want to here about Stone Heart and how she and her band kills off all of the Freys. I'd love for her to kill Walder herself.

I suspect Stoneheart could be a problem for the kingdom if she doesn't fade away/crumble into dust or something when the Freys are dealt with (if).She seems to like killing, so she might just go on doing it. OTOH, if the Freys survive and go on with no repercussions, maybe she'll just become their personal bogeyman! And be there forever. And Frey mothers will tell their children about how if they are bad, the nasty Stoneheart will come get them...

Re: A character i can't wait to see more of

I am incredibly disappointed that no one has requested more of John Snow. I understand he has been discussed in detail in other posts. I am most curious as to which path he will finally choose.

I am also perplexed at the lack of desire to see an Eddard POV. We have all concluded that he was not truly beheaded, correct! ; )

A Catelyn POV would be inspiring:

“Beric, did you make the yummy sound?”
“No, Tom I didn’t, but I did hear the yummy sound and what is making all of that noise in underbrush?”
Tom peers through the bush only to find Catleyn walking repeatedly into a large tree
“Uuuuhhhhhmmmm.” Thump, thump thump. “uuuuuuhhhhmmm.”

In all seriousness, the 4 characters I want to read the most about: Snow, Tyrion, Jaime (yes I know we just got a full dose of him), and Arya (ditto).

I also would like to state for the record I would most like to read about Cersei suffering horrible and mind numbing acts of torture and abuse. Okay that may be harsh, but it’s the truth…

Hello JohnSnow, you read my mind (get out of my head!). These are my picks as well.

Add a little Benjen POV so that we can finally get all the details of what's happening beyond the wall, and a little Sansa suffering horribly to pay her back for getting her father killed, and I'd be well satisfied.

I must have seriously missed something if the consensus is that Eddard Stark is still Alive.

and as for my post on the thread topic ... hmm GRRM has a lot of parallels running between the current POV's .. but if I had to commit to any one character .. my vote is for the Queen of Thorns.

Now there's an interesting character.

I think that theory is merely wishful thinking. Seriously, the author would need a reason to bring him back beyond simply the fact that he's a favorite of the fans. And there was no reason for anyone to keep him alive. Especially at this point. The Lannisters have pretty much sh** the bed when it comes to the Starks. There's nobody around who would be able to pay a ransom for Ned Stark, and they've already got their pawns in place to take over the North- the Boltons and their "Arya."
Littlefinger has no need to keep Ned alive- he's already played his part very well by releasing the information about Cersei's offspring.
Varys and Illyrio have bigger fish to fry. The Lannisters have been weakened in the eyes of the people by Ned's discovery. Other than that, he really has nothing left to offer. Except, of course, Jon's parentage. Which Ned would never divulge to anyone, even on pain of death.
He's dead, friends. I'm sorry. I just don't see an alternative.

What if Ned came back in a "flashback" POV (either his own or as part of someone else's).

But yes, he is D-E-A-D. (although I think Sophocles wasn't really serious about this).
