I'm always in awe of the universe GRRM created. It's amazing one man came up with all this shit.

Well, obviously he drew on historical inspiration. But the characters, the battles, the history, etc. It's a monumental job to come up with all of that and make it work as well as he has done.
Also, I forgot how Henry Tudor used his dragons to defeat Richard III at Bosworth Field.

BTW, Burke, you haven't even fucking read the books, how could you possibly judge the Ice & Fire universe?
Just finished reading book 5 part 2. Was a bit disappointed with it to be honest. Too many loose threads, and too long spent on unecessary chat between characters. And I love reading all the plotting etc more than I love the actual action points. But at times it was too much for me. Anyway here are some of my thoughts.
No way is Stannis dead. First of all Bolton was asking for Reek to be returned. But Theon is in Stannis' camp. Secondly Melissandre's fires seem to have a lot of truth in them. Things such as the death of three kings plus Jon Snow's death. I think she's right that Stannis will be the one to defend the realm of men, even if I don't think Stannis is the kind of hero that job would require.
What will The Watch do with the wildlings? They can't send them back through the wall so will have to either embrace them or be slain in battle against them. If Jon Snow isn't dead I will be really annoyed. It was the only really big event in the entire 500 pages of After The Feast.
Excited to see Aegon raise Dorne to his side. It does all seem too simple for him, though. Victarion heading to Meereen to side with Daenerys will give him additional strength while he will presumable make good on that marriage pact with one of the Dornish babes. Who will be left to oppose the Targaryens? Nobody but what is left of Stannis' host and the others (if they EVER come)

I'll put this in spoilers... so here goes
We all know that Catelyn Stark was murdered at the Bloody Wedding. In the books her body is cast into the river and it flows down stream to where her body is discovered by our favorite son of the North, Beric Donderrian. As we all know, sir Beric has died several times, but thanks to Thoros of Mir he gets resurrected. Each time being more difficult to resurrect. When they discover Lady Stark, the men ask Thoros to bring her back, but he cannot unless someone trades his life force for heres, because she is dead and decaying. Lord Beric however decides to give his life for hers and Thoros brings her back. When she comes back, she's pissed. Changes her name to Lady Stoneheart and leads her men on a quest to kill anyone she thinks betrayed her. No one know who she really is because she wears a vale and can't speak due to her throat being slit.
I'll add something
Jon Snow is definetly not dead , GRRM has said that he will learn about his mother eventually and in an interview he was asked : " So why did you kill Jon Snow?" he responded : "Oh, you think he’s dead, do you?"
Still considering all the theories that go around Jon , the hardcore fanbase would commit a collective suicide if he is really dead

i think melisandre will heal him somehow
I personally hope not , i don't want jon to have a connection with the red god . I simply hope he survives the stabbing . For reaghar x lyanna hints check this http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/forum/20-general-asoiaf/ , the R+l=J v87 thread has everything you need . Check the previous versions for a better understanding , i think the first one has all the hints
At the end of book 4 (or book 3, I can't remember which) Brienne was about to be killed by Lady Stoneheart for siding with the Lannisters. Of course we all know that is some bullshit but Cate doesn't. It seems clear to me that Brienne has agreed to prove her alliegance to Catelyn by giving her Jaime. Hence the clear lie about Sansa being taken by the Hound.
