So to sum up
So to sum up
Wow, where do I start? You guys have been at it for over 4 days now and there doesnt seem to be a clear consensus on any roles (although there are a couple very solid possibilities). George really is a monster of inhuman cruelty to inflict this on us. Although I have the feeling he was probably figuring that HBO would have announced the names by now.
Anyway, no one really took me up on my offer to write up a comprehensive summary, but that is ok because Johnny from Tower of the Hand did a great job on one already . It includes all the confirmed hints, as well as the popular guesses.
In addition, WiC commenter Jaimee compiled ALL of the guesses from the comments on here. She tallied how many people were in support of the suggestions and how many were against. (Thanks Jaimee, that must have taken awhile!) Click through to read the full list.
