That's probably why I still think that Stannis has a lot in common with Ned. I know Ned always favoured Robert but he could have been a great team with Stannis. I agree. And I think that just added to Stannis' resentment towards Ned and his anger at Robert. He probably felt as if Robert loved Ned even though Ned had more in common with Stannis than with Robert. He probably would have been less hurt if Ned had been like Robert, fun-loving and unserious and wild.
Maybe that's why Stannis has such a good vibe with Jon. Stannis and Jon actually seem to have even more in common than Stannis and Ned. Ned was always more about personal honour, Stannis is more about duty and justice and the bigger picture. In that, Jon is a lot like Stannis. Of course he is very concerned with keeping his vows and promises (like Ned), but he is also very concerned with doing his duty and considering the bigger picture (helping the wildlings because the real enemy are the Others). Stannis and Jon were made to be allies. ;D Need more Stannis/Jon in my life.
I really hope that Tyrion won't come out on top. I still think his storyline should have ended after ASOS. :/
yeah, Daenerys could help against the Others, but she'd be a bloody awful queen. Aegon himself might not be a bad option, but I just hate the idea of a Targaryen ruling again, no matter what he or she is like. And I doubt that the series will end with a character ruling whom we didn't even know about for four books.
I don't think that the Tyrells will win in the end, but at the moment they are more likely to profit from the situation than the Lannisters, who are fairly doomed. Aegon won't marry Margaery, Griff seems to be very set on Aegon marrying Daenerys. And technically Margaery's marriage with Tommen isn't valid yet, is it? Because it wasn't consummated yet. I honestly just like the idea of them beating the Dornish and the Golden Company in the field. Just to get beaten by someone else afterwards, hehe. ;) So many possibilities.
