A Dance With Dragons ~48. Jaime I *Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

JAMIE! Watch yo self.

I was super excited to see a Jaime chapter at last. But nothing too exciting happened till Brienne appeared.

HOLY CRAP, BRIENNE!
What was that word she said that stopped Catelyn from killing her?

Oh, wait, I just checked, 'cause I was looking for theories, and instead I found spoilers, 'cause apparently George Martin has confirmed what she said. So yeah, I just got spoiled. Not heartbroken at all... (view spoiler)[She shouted sword. Catelyn made her choose to be her sword or to be killed - the sword or the noose. She chose to be Catelyn's sword and kill Jaime. (hide spoiler)]

Haven't heard from Jaime in a bit!

That weirwood tree sounds pretty interesting - with it not having any red leaves and the ravens roosting there at night.

Brienne survived!

Nice to see Jaime back. And also Brienne! And hey, the Hound isn't dead after all...of course, in Martin's world it doesn't pay to assume that anyone is dead unless you witness their death first hand (and even then there's always Catelyn).

Now waiting for the Mountain to re-appear, since everyone insists he's dead but we haven't seen it ourselves...
