I think Bronn and Shae were what they appeared to be, but I do think Varys did get to Shae at some point after she got to King's Landing. I just don't see Tywin banging Tyrion's whore and letting her dance around naked in his bed wearing his "achievements" around her neck. I think that Varys slipped some Ex-lax type of stuff in Tywin's food to ensure he was on the shitter for a good while, then convinced Shae to be in the right place at the right time (maybe even telling her that by doing so would help Tyrion in some way) and then he put Tyrion in the mix to witness it all and use the convenient crossbow that was lying around.I agree, for it to be a plot way, way too much had to be put into motion and fall into place just right. I think Shae and Bronn were what they appeared to be.
Of course, in book 14 we'll find out otherwise...
I'd imagine the majority of them have no idea who they work for. They'd just know that if they sent information to certain places or people, several degrees removed from Varys himself, that they'd receive payment.The unbelievable thing about all Varys' little birds is that none of them ever give him away. You would think it would be hard to have such a vast network, most probably on the level of imebciles, able to keep their mouth shut about being in cahoots with him. Even if he kills them off as soon as they are of no use, or if they do spill the beans, they at least would have had to spill the beans once to someone.
Hey Grimm, what are your thoughts on GRRM dying prior to completing the series? It will obviously happen, so which author would you like to have write books 6 and 7?Oh for fuck's sake not this again. WE JUST DID THE SHAE/TYWIN THING!
*sob*

Sounds like a good change, Edric wasn't fleshed out at all and Gendry kinda dropped off the radar. This and consolidating Arstan/Belwas with just barristan sound like great changes.melisandre and gendry
