Character Analysis: Why Ned Should Stay Dead

Why Ned should stay dead
One thing I don't understand: why the hell would you, as a fan, want to bring Ned back from the dead?
Let's start with the possibility of it happening. We know that it IS possible to resurrect people - the best example of it being Lord Beric Dondarrion, who was brought back to life 6 TIMES by Thoros of Myr, the Red Priest of R'hllor. That proves that R'hllor has the ability to revive someone. Dondarrion did it himself, too, to resurrect Catelyn Stark. He died while doing this, which was his seventh death. But these characters had wounds which were mortal, but by chance. If someone stabs you in the eye (Dondarrion Nr. 4), you don't always die. When you get your throat slit (Cat), it depends on how deep the cut is. A missing head,

the end.

Alayne I (TWOW)
Wow, this chapter was so niiiiiiceeeee. I always liked the Sansa/Alayne chapters, and this did not disappoint me in any way. Her wit surprised me - she really starts to learn! Her dialogue with Harry the Heir was really delightful to read, I enjoyed it very much. I am excited for TWOW - I need to read more of Sansa/Alayne!!
Harry tho.. I hope he dies before they can marry. I still dwell on the headcanon that Sansa and Aegon VI will marry... I've read a theory that Ser Shadrich will kidnap Sansa (he wants to sell her to the Lannisters once he finds her - he had a talk with Brienne about it, and now he's in Littlefinger's service), but the Lannister won't be there anymore because Aegon VI sits on the throne - married to Arianne. He will see Sansa and fall in love with her and probably steal her. Yes, the exact same thing happened 16 years back, when Rhaegar Targaryen, married to a Dornish princess, took a Northern girl with him. That won't happen though, but history repeats itself. Even Gatsby said that (You can't repeat the past? Why, of course you can!)
Ok, but still, really nice chapter, looking forward for more!

One of the major wavering controversies is whether Hamlet, the heir to the throne, is in fact crazy or as he claims, putting “an antic disposition on” (Ham. 1.5.190-191). Even though many state he is truly mad, there are multiple evidential facts proving Hamlet’s honesty. Informational pieces to explain his true sanity include, why Hamlet would feign madness, admitting his sanity, and only acting insane around certain characters.…
