I have read the books, but I don't want to get too far into it here, because there's a lot of "non-readers" on the forums, and, also, because the series is not yet complete.  What goes on with certain characters, those that we've met and those yet to appear, is that while some of them get to where we expect them to…

No question at all, Frey was something of an ally.  If not an ally, definitely not an enemy, because he's a bannerman to Caetlyn's family.

Aren't those scenes shot in Iceland?  I don't think that snow is fake.

He's also a drunkard and only loves his whore.

Dany's, like, 18.  Why would she have better taste in men?

Jojen Reed isn't a Wildling.  His father is another Northern lord who was close friends with Ned Stark.

Probably gonna be in the next ep.

In random order…

Caet was a POV character, Robb was not.

Not if you paid any attention to what was going on at the Wall in Book 5.  Though some petty-minded, dumb motherfuckers might have fucked that up for themselves real bad.

Eh… sorta. Kinda.  Not really.  Maybe.  It's possible, but the path is circuitous.

That little shit has allergies to just about every goddamned thing people eat in Westeros.  How the fuck people can still believe he's Robert the Fat's son, a motherfucker who would eat any goddamn thing you put in front of him and call for seconds, is beyond me.
