Any thoughts on Preston Jacobs?


King Jon Targaryen I

Recommended Posts

Preston does most of his research by himself and some of his connections arr esoterically brilliant. I don't agree with a few of his ultimate conclusions, but I have drawn a lot from the evidence he has produced. That's the best part about his vids. He is constantly backing up what he thinks from the books. I am highly anticipating his newest addition about Dany and Quaithe.

Here is a list of topics that would actually make sense:



Any thoughts on tze's outstanding post record?


Any thoughts on Apple Martini's political discussions?


Any thoughts on the magnificence of rereading trio - Lum, bumps and Rag?


Any thoughts on Fire Eater's Arthurian/Tolkien approach to the future of ASOIAF?


Any thoughts on brashcandy and her team's impressive record with PTP threads?


Any thoughts on MOIAF and her team's change of the way Dany's perceived on the forum?


Any thoughts on Dr Pepper's impressive humorous intellect?


Any thoughts on Lady Gwyn and yolkboy's Radio Westeros?



Now, some of these threads would actually make sense for me, because the work of above-mentioned individuals is truly outstanding in every meaning of the word. Preston Jacob's videos, though popular, are, IMO, rather not worthy of anyone's time.

Some what interesting theories but every video I see from him follows the same formula. Starts out somewhat reasonable puts forward things generally believed or within the realm of possibility, and provides some textual references. then proceeds to make massive leaps based on those references or outright misrepresents them and the argument goes off the rails.



There are posters on here with much better analysis and theories regarding the series than anything you will find on youtube.

I watch every one, because it's fun listening to how hard he's trying to connect everything. And every single time, he makes leaps of faith or twists of facts that turn out to be key to his conspiracies. I particularly enjoy making sure I can catch those deviations from the books, and disproving them. It also makes me think about the way I've been rereading the books, and sometimes question different bits (for example, I believe it's possible, but not probable, that Quentyn is alive).

Yeah he tries really hard to connect a lot of things. His first few parts of the ToJ and Dragonless Ambitions series are decent.



I like that Teflon guy from the one's on YT the most. His video intros are great too haha...and that James Johnson is solid too (he infuses a lot of fan fiction though)



The ones that annoy me are Emergency Awesome (for Walking Dead too haha) and RedTeamReview.

His 1st Dornish Master plan vid was alright, but still somewhat Crackpot, and then the remaining vids went full blown crackpot. I think he got the "Who wrote the pink letter?" question right, but his reasoning for it was absolutely rediculous. And every other vid he has made has been an absolute crock of shit. I lost it when he proposed R+L= D and B+A=J.



When I watch anything new I struggle to make it through as they're so outrageous. He just see's these unbelievable conspiracies where there are none and bends the texts to support his absurd ideas.



The comments on them are both hilarious and sad. His viewers just eat it up like he's figured the whole thing out. They're going to be pretty disappointed when the last 2 books come out.
