  1. Any theory that uses 0 quotes as evidence. More irritating though: any argument against a theory that uses 0 quotes as a rebuttal.
  2. Agreed, I’ve been saying this for years.
  3. Varamyr had already flown the eagle across the Wall to scout castle black. There’s no magical electric fence above the Wall.
  4. Ned was still growing during the Tourney at Harrenhal. We know this since Catelyn mentions Ned was shorter at their wedding compared to present day. Their wedding was 1 year after the tourney. If you actually read the theory your other complaints are addressed. Ned is really the only candidate at present. Lyanna is possible but would be quite a rugpull as she has no real connection to weirwoods or booming voices. If KotLT is connected to blue roses or Lyanna to laughing weirwoods in TWoW Lyanna will become a good candidate.
  5. Interesting video but a bit too… scientific/literal for me I guess. My current favored theory is simply that the Wall was first made and guarded by the White Walkers. The oath was originally theirs, though it may have been shorter/slightly different at the time. They guarded the north from the realms of men. The truce between Men and CotF and “the Others”(a faction of CotF) would be what led to this situation. Men took the south, the CotF took the north. The Others and their servants guarded the border to ensure the Men abided, the white shadows became the first Black Brothers… Eventually the 13th commander of those brothers loved a human woman, blah blah blah and the humans had to take up guarding the Wall. The real magic of the Wall is the cold. It doesn’t block magic, it simply brings/maintains the cold, much like the white walkers. I tend to think the Wall was originally a more realistic sized wall, but the property of maintaining the cold over thousands of years allows that initially stone wall to form the base of a glacier. As snow falls and stays it compacts and condenses into ice. The borders of the magic form it into the Wall we know today. There was never any quarrying of ice blocks. The NW does however assist in the growth by sprinkling stones on top of the wall. As the snow falls the stones become incorporated and the wall grows faster. 8000 years later and we have the current wall, the edges are beyond the magic so they can melt in the sun, but the core always remains frozen. With the weirwood at the Night fort and the black gate weirwoods were always implied to be along the wall… it is interesting to me that perhaps it may have not been a wall at first, but only a border marked by weirwoods. In this case when the Men took ownership they abided by the old Pact and did not burn or cut the weirwoods… but they did not prevent them from being buried by snow, and so the Wall began to grow. I’m skipping lots of various wrinkles in this summary as I’ve not bothered to fully formalize my thoughts on this topic. I consider it too sparse to be sure enough of anything for that… but some of this video does fit and enhance with my favored ideas so i like it.
  6. No. If all the weirwoods were only one weirwood then the CotF wouldn’t have cared that the First Men chopped off a few old unnecessary appendages nor that the Andals cauterized a few more.
  7. The Wall doesn’t block magic (especially not skinchanging). Ned is definitely KotLT. My older one could maybe use a refresh… but it’s basically the same now as then.
  8. Mance. The crow is a tricksy bird and a deserter will flinch from no crime, no matter how vile.
  9. 7, a few good scenes but a couple of the important scenes were really disappointing.
  10. Gave it a 7, everything was pretty decent, nothing was terrible but nothing was great so default score of 6. +1 is from Ros finally being gone. Littlefingers speech much more than least season's obligatory -it's called the game of thrones remember there's a "game"???- speech where Tyrion says "I'd like to keep playing it, duururrrrrr". I may be misremembering the duururrrrr, but I think he did actually say it... It did also have a lot of lead-in info packed in so I have some good hopes for the last episodes this season.
  11. The end of Season 2 ruined the start of Season 3 imo, otherwise the opening could have been written differently and made more sense instead of Sam somehow escaping the middle of the undead army and happening to run into Mormont...
