  2. More appropriate for another article.
  3. Illogical or previously disproven.
  4. Proven by canon source, and moved to main page.
  5. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments.
  6. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead).
  • This does not include responses that are also standalone theories.
  • Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response.

Many readers have wondered why Sansa Stark thinks that Sandor Clegane kissed her when he came to her bedchamber during the Battle of the Blackwater. GRRM has stated that the kiss will eventually mean something, but what?

George R. R. Martin on the UnKiss

When asked about the kiss discrepancy George R. R. Martin simply replied that Sansa is an “unreliable narrator”, [1]

Well, not every inconsistency is a mistake, actually. Some are quite intentional. File this one under "unreliable narrator" and feel free to ponder its meaning. . .

He has added that the kiss “will eventually mean something”.[2]

"You will see, in A STORM OF SWORDS and later volumes, that Sansa remembers the Hound kissing her the night he came to her bedroom... but if you look at the scene, he never does. That will eventually mean something, but just now it's a subtle touch, something most of the readers may not even pick up on."

This has led to much speculation by fans on what he means and intends.

Has the Hound replaced Lady?

In an interview GRRM was asked: There's some speculation that you plan to replace Lady with the Hound, possibly?

What? Interesting speculation. I won't comment on that. [laughs].[3]
