By Game of Thrones fans have to wait until 2019 to find out what their favourite characters are up to in Westeros. But until then, the internet is delving through the source material, A Song of Ice and Fire, to find clues they may have missed the first time around.
Entertainment Weekly reports that one eagle-eyed reader noticed just one word that foreshadowed one of the biggest scenes ever in Game of Thrones. Reddit user zlow82 noticed that one word in author George RR Martin's writing foreshadowed the Red Wedding that was to come.
In the passage, Sandor Clegane, aka The Hound, is talking to Arya about her brother, Robb, letting him join his army. Arya says Robb would never let him join, and Sandor retorts:
"Then I'll take as much gold as I can carry, laugh in his face, and ride off. If he doesn't take me, he'd be wise to kill me, but he won't. Too much his father's son, from what I hear. Fine with me. Either way I win.
"And so do you, she-wolf. So stop whimpering and snapping at me, I'm sick of it. Keep your mouth shut and do as I tell you, and maybe we'll even be in time for your uncle's bloody wedding."
Of course, that wedding was literally a bloody one, and it was the wedding of Arya's uncle, Ser Edmure Tully, a brother of Arya's mother, Catelyn Stark.
The passage also foreshadows the death of Robb at that wedding, as he was "too much his father's son" in trusting Walder Frey and attending the wedding that led to his demise.
