(one on one or few combatants)Bronn vs. Lady Lysa's champion, saving Tyrion.2. What's your favorite large-scale combat scene?The Battle of Blackwater, hands down!3. Which death scene is your favorite?Favorite, not quite the word I would use, but the Red Wedding.  I was such a harrowing and powerful scene, I think I put the book down for a couple of days.  Several of my friends had similar reactions.  I sad and angry emails from friends right after they read that moment - one friend went into work so upset that his co-workers thought he'd maybe lost a family member and were asking him what was wrong.4. Which rivalry between two people have you enjoyed the most?Tyrion vs. Tywinn...I love Tyrion, he's my favorite character and seeing him finally get the better of Tywinn was great...though I think he'll be a very scarred man after that, possibly becoming quite evil, in a way.5. Useless speculation time: Your predictions, however poorly founded, about the future of the story... or just where you'd like to see the story go.Varys and Illyrio Mopatis are in kahoots, there is one very strong hint of this.  Anyway, I think Varys has some very specific goal he's working towards and I think he and Illyrio are part of some secret organization , probably an organization of eunichs, they seem so similar in many ways.  The real tip off to me was seeing Varys' room, it was so damn spartan - it's completely at odds with the public face he presents, seemingly so in love with luxuries (perfumes, fine clothes, etc.)  I think the guy is really working for some higher purpose.Several people have suggested Jon's real lineage might be Rhaegar and Lyanna.  This is probably so, there are a lot of things that suggest it: Dany's dream of the blue rose in the wall of ice, the murky background of Jon, the murky events surrounding the death of Lyanna, the promise she made Ned swear...Rhaegar dying with "a woman's name" on his lips, the blue rose he gives her at the tournament of Harrenhall...it's all there, so it would seem.  And yes, I think Jon will be the 2nd head of the Dragon, the big question is, who will be the 3rd?  The Dragon has three heads...6. If you were trapped in Westeros at the beginning of aGoT, knowing fully what was to come but you COULDN'T CHANGE it (i.e. telling Robert about "his" children before his death), what would you do? Where would you go?I'd go and find a nice, cozy town in the Vale of Arryn in some out of the way dell somewhere and hopefully wait out the wars, preferably with some saucy wench helping to warm my bed for me.</blockquote>
