What theories do you buy into and what do you think will happen in the upcoming books?

I'm in on this theory.

Jacobs videos are great, truly mind-blowing because he reads and studies the series far, far above me. But they're frustrating because after they're over I feel like a freshman that just sat in on a panel of doctorate-level discussion. "Yeah, uh, it's important but I can't remember why."

 

thanks for giving me something to do the rest of the afternoon.

also read Dunk & Egg as soon as you can. they're quick reads, and awesome.

 

Have you done a reread yet?

 

You'll just be mad at yourself for not seeing all the clues and hints the first time around.

 

It's crazy how obvious the foreshadowing is once you know exactly what will happen. Part of what makes it so great

 

thought this was well done,

Not buying that. That much subtlety doesn't match grrms writing style.

 

I stopped reading when it said Dany was a zombie

 

nope.

 

Soooo dumb

 

Clearly Preston needs to read the Lucifer is Lightbringer essay.

 

love Preston, but some of his are really out there, then again maybe if fat ass would put another book out............

 

Spoiler

Ian McShane on BBC today basically admitted he's playing Septon Meribald and he nurses the Hound back to health

 

That's all I need.

FUCKING CONFIRMED

Extremely long, but worth the read.

Basically the Quiet Isle is where a bunch of old famous knights went to hide after the battle at the trident, mostly Rhaegar's kingsguard. Also some connections with the Martell family that make you question everything.

 

I've always wondered why there isn't a bigger deal made of the fact that so many main characters are the product of relatively recent incest, especially given that the crux of the story is incest.

• Cersei's/Jaime's kids obviously
  
• Dany's parents were brother and sister.
• Jaime's, Cersei's, and Tyrion's parents were first cousins.
• Ned's parents were cousins.

 

Dany (and Rhaegar and Viserys) is the most inbred being since Aegon the Unworthy. Aerys and Rhaella's parents were also brother and sister (Jaehaerys II and Shaera).

I guess outside of brother to sister, incest is generally frowned upon but accepted in the major houses in order to mediate the formation of lots of cadet houses. Just a guess.

 

new preston

 

my first thought was nope but i'm bored so i'll give it a watch.

 

That's basically how I watch all of his videos.

BryndenBFish is always a must read

 

I assumed it was Varys too. He is invested in Aegon and Aegon cannot win without the help of Dorne.

 

Thought these were interesting and worth a watch

 

Do you guys think Tywin fucked Tysha knowing he has a thing for Tyrion's sloppy seconds?

 

Yes

 

With Stannis dead in the show, who can legitimize Jon assuming he's resurrected?

 

Robb's will that's floating around most likely in Greywater watch

 

oh duh

I'm an idiot.

 

Plus I'm assuming Jon will have a 'KINGINDANORF' moment and will just declare himself King Jon Stark. I don't see why he can't do that imo

 

Couldn't Howland Reed show up and prove the R+L=J theory?

 

I'm sure he will. But I think it'll be after Jon takes Winterfell

 

a good breakdown of Hodor by Alt Shift x

 

Hodor warning of the Great Other.

 

I think that the small folk are going to rise up and overthrow the high houses. All the focus has been on the high lords and the moves they make to try and ascend to dominance while the commoners pay the price. I think GRRM has been playing hide the ball by having us guess which noble house ends up on top and who will ultimately end up on the iron throne. I think the seven kingdoms will come undone

 

good video, worth a watch



Cliffs:
CotF had magic that let them manipulate ice before the First Men
First Men interbred with CotF
Evidence of human babies being given to the Others and humans and Others interbreeding
Night's Watch celibacy vow was put in place to stop interbreeding with Others
Wights are controlled by individuals within the Weirwood Net
Others are dead souls of CotF from the Weirwood Net that want to live forever, so they created this magic ice body
Night's King's wife wasn't an Other or a wight (not sure what this has to do with anything)
House Farwynd (First Men house and westernmost house of the Iron Islands) has warged into animals that have gone beyond the Sunset Sea and saw a land without death or winter. If you believe that Westeros actually connects to Essos (Land of Always Winter on one side is actually the Gray Waste on the other side), then somewhere in the middle might have been what Gylbert Farwynd was tallking about at the King's Moot. Basically, Gylbert Farwynd or his family have seen the Land of Always Winter and it's not awful, it's paradise. The Others are protecting their immortal paradise.

I believe some of his premises (firm believer that CotF and Others are working together against humans), but I don't believe his conclusion. I still think that the Others built the wall and that there was an agreement to supply them with humans, so they would stay in the LoAW. When the Nightfort was abandoned, the Others stopped getting their babies, and since humans weren't meeting the Others' terms, the Others are saying fuck it.

 

Any chance that the red witch is actually the night's queen or is she long gone? (Not sure if that's come up at all)

 

so is everyone on board with tyrion being targ now or are we still doubters in here?
