Questions I have after finishing ADwD. Spoilers of course.

I've read through the discussion threads on the board so far and had some of my questions answered and had some things pointed out to me that whooshed right over my head in my reading (so thank you for that!)
1. People feel bad for Theon? THEON? Really?
2. Was Dany miscarrying at the end there with all the blood? Or was this a more positive sign of some sort? I really don't know yet how literally to take the maegi's words to her and after this book think it could be more prophecy than doom.
3. I assumed Brienne's reappearance meant she had agreed to ZombieCat's terms and was luring Jaime back to ZombieCat to face her wrath. But I gather there are those who think Brienne did die and was brought back? I am disappointed not to have gotten more of that storyline (though I did like the Jaime progression in this book, and liked how neatly he managed to do his duty to his family/king without breaking his oath to not take up arms against the Starks or Tullys). I will be interested to see what happens with that.
4. Do you think Stannis is dead? I'm going with no, since it seems like when we find out about 'offscreen' deaths like that they tend not to have happened. Does Ramsay actually have Mance? It seems horrible to me that we'd have gone through the Mance-isn't-really-dead switcheroo only to have that happen, and it is possible that one or more of his girls was captured and Ramsay knows he was there that way. I'm really leaning towards taking that letter to Jon as a bunch of angry rambling.
5. Speaking of Jon. Gah. GAH. I can't decide if I want him to be really most sincerely dead or not. Obviously prevailing opinion is that he's not. And yet. How much fun would that be?
Edit to add:
6. Are we ever going to find out what happened to Benjen?

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Bran didn't recognize him because his face is always covered

If his face is always covered, how can you say you know who he is?

I don't think anyone's saying they know who he is.

Given that Martin doesn't seem to introduce characters like that, someone we know is more likely

But the point is, they were introduced at least, and not brought in from left field.

Also, telling your 10-year-old nephew that you're a monster now must be rough.

Assuming the Quentyn, Dothraki sea, and Meereen pyramid parts are true...
