  1. I really like this theory, especially considering Ghost is the one who alerted Jon when the wights attack Mormont, giving Jon his first hero moment and setting everything in motion regarding Jon being groomed and eventually being named LC.
  2. I agree that the bridge of skulls is probably too far to get around and back to Winterfell or near enough to it. My guess is that he’d have to have free climbed the wall at one of those points where the ground has built up behind it and walked along the top til he found something to help him down the other side.
  3. Lol for a minute I was wondering what you were on about, like why would the watch not accept the existence of the others? I’m the goose, I meant Gared.
  4. True, it’s Gared not Will. In any case the question remains.... He’d been longer on the wall than Mormont, by all accounts he was a seasoned veteran of the watch I could entertain him being driven mad by the events and going AWOL, but it’s never clarified. Besides, when the Others showed up later no one lost their shit like he supposedly did.
  5. Why didn’t Will go back to the wall instead of deserting after the prologue?
  6. If I ever disagree with Rhaenys_Targaryen, someone be sure to tap me on the shoulder. Small question: Who’s the fattest out of Yezzan zo Qaggaz, Lord Manderly and Illyrio Mopatis?
  7. They had a dad and a sister but they both got Gregor’d edit: grammar
  8. If there’s a repeat of the last hero legend, is it safe to assume Lady Stoneheart is one of the dozen companions?
  9. Both of those places are over 100 years old aren’t they? Either way I just realised that almost all of the castles have had major extensions over the years, which more or less explains it if you think of castles as though they were cities.
  10. A general paranoia is something I can get behind. It’s not perfect, I mean there really should be a lot more but lords not allowing construction for that reason is better than no explanation. You guys don’t think there’s a magical element at play here? I’m thinking about the black stone of ‘unknown origin’ that was used in the construction of the Hightower at old town, the five forts and other well known structures.
  11. Do you think that’s all it is? No one has had the funds or motivation to build anything in hundreds of years? IMO it’s something that needs an explanation. Look at a place like Dragonstone; that place is an architectural marvel and it was built before the doom, we’re talking over 400 years ago. Think about all the other amazing structures, basically every major castle is incredible, the Titan of Bravos, the wall, the effing Eyrie. None of it inspired anyone to build anything except Sansa who built a snow castle once.
  12. How come no one has built anything in forever? Everything is really old. Also, if songs are so important how has no one has written a hit since The Rains Of Castamere?
  13. Yeah that’s probably right, the mother would likely have helped. Maybe I’m being too hard on him, but it seems like a super dumb move, the Northerners would have planned for Balon refusing them and like surely this plan b wasn’t to have Theon start raiding villages along the stoney shore.
  14. Not bad points at all, Admittedly I hadn’t thought overly about Theons life as a ward/hostage and how that would mess with his head. At that point isn’t the story I would have considered Theon a Stark. He didn’t care much for the rest of the Starks but Robb was close to a brother to him and Theon was obviously a huge part of his rebellion. I just think he fell in with the Greyjoy’s way too easily, for dumb reasons and his plan to take winterfell was moronic.
  15. We all know about Theon switching sides when he’s sent by Robb to Pyke to bring the Greyjoy’s in on the Stark rebellion (aCoK). I’m doing another re read and after going through that whole process again (being unrecognised, then mocked, the stony shore and winterfell idiocracy), I couldn’t help but wonder how he could be so stupid. Thus, my “small” question is this; Was switching from Stark to Greyjoy like that the biggest fuck up/bad decision that any character has made so far? There have been plenty of bad decisions made, I might list a couple below, but I can at least understand why those people made the choices they did. Just what was Theon thinking? Other candidates that come to mind; - Cat freeing Jamie - Viserys’ tantrum during the golden crown feast - Cat arresting Tyrion - Ned letting Cersei know he knew about her and Jamie - Renly claiming the throne etc Back to Theon, can anyone tell me how he suddenly went from treating with the ironborn to allowing himself to be mocked into joining them and doing the actual opposite of what he was sent to do? It can’t just be the desire for approval from his “family”. As far as I can tell they never visited, wrote or otherwise enquired about his well-being after he was forcibly shipped off. They’re a bunch of shit heads. Why didn’t he, after that first conversation with Balon, simply turn around and go back to Robb?
  16. All good I’ll google it and link it here if/when I find it
  17. During the great ranging, the rangers of the watch stop at Craster’s for a night on their way north. Inside the main hall, Mormont asks Craster about the missing rangers. Craster says he doesn’t recall seeing Benjen but remembers Gared, Will and Waymar Royce. The interesting thing was that Craster also knew about Gared being beheaded for his desertion. The question is how could Craster know that? - Did Benjen tell Craster, meaning he is lying about seeing him? If so, why? - Did Craster go south at some point during the GOT timeline and return? - Did someone else visit him? - Am I overthinking it and GRRM just wanted to remind the reader?
  18. Did the Nights King resurrect the Other that Jon killed?   http://i.imgur.com/L7HVFYq.jpg
  19. I have to give it 10/10. It was a really well rounded episode that ended up hitting me right in the feels, even though i've read the books thrice.
