Game of Thrones: Very exciting plot theory for end of S3!

[maystone]

I stumbled across this earlier today; I think it was in a companion article to the GoT review in The Atlantic. This is so exciting, and it's killing me not to be able to talk with anyone about it! It's conjecture, of course, but it's also spoilery as hell if you haven't read the books. It's about Talisa, Robb Stark's wife and queen. The author of

I've thought this for awhile. Partly because in the book, Jeyne Westerling's mother IS a spy for the Lannisters

I was hoping that you'd chime in on this, so no worries about the length. To be honest, I don't remember much about Jeyne from the books except that she somehow ends up on the run with Theon. Or am I thinking of the other Jeyne?

I think it's plausible that Talisa really loves Robb: He did more than allow her to treat all of the wounded, he went out of his way to help her; he took an interest in her and her story, not just her hotness. But yeah, she can't love him if she's working actively to betray him.

I'm more curious about the amount of time the writers spent on her backstory, specifically her hatred of slavery. It seems that should come into play somehow, although how that fits in to a hatred of the Starks really doesn't add up. The North doesn't engage in slavery.

I just know that I love this theory, and I can barely wait to see how this season plays out. I guess we'll find out in about 10 days. I'm guessing that this Sunday will be the wedding of Tyrion and Sansa and the following Sunday will be the Red Wedding.
