Brad Stark Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Feather seems to think there is a large conspiracy but I think we are only dealing with 1 or a small number of people. Val is an interesting possibility, and as she has Craster's last son, leads to some interesting plot possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienarea Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Off topic: looks like the forum sort order has changed with the tv show sections now being on top of the books. Implies to me the series will not be concluded in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Jon would be trapped inside Ghost? Is that how it would work? If Jon entered Ghost during the stabbing, the possibility that Jon is dead would be what keeps Jon trapped inside of Ghost. Now if Jon is inside Ghost, what would happen if Jon’s body is then subsequently resurrected? Who or what would Jon be resurrected as then?

I think it probably just reflects the practicality that most of the traffic on this site will be from show viewers as opposed to book readers while the HBO show is on the air.

alienarea Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Crackpot: Quaithe (sp?) is the exiled 'Corpse Bride' and guiding the White Walkers by glass candle.

Now if Jon is inside Ghost, what would happen if Jon’s body is then subsequently resurrected? Who or what would Jon be resurrected as then? Well, if Jon's body was resurrected while the Red Comet passes overhead & Danny is doing an impromptu ritual that involves burning a mage & possibly some king's blood (like she has did at the end of Book 1)... Then who would be reborn into Jon's body??? If you ask it like that, then my answer would be: The Great Wolf & the Burning Man who were dancing in the tent with Mirri Maz Dur at the end of AGoT... That's who will claim Jon's Old Body... -- & Mel's Vision of Jon being a Man, Wolf, Then a Man again... Jon will be a man again, but he will be a man in Hodor's Body - & he ain't going to be anything like the Jon we know now - It will NOT BE PRETTY... -- Jon's original body will house Azor Ahi, & Jon's new body will be the Night's King (GRRM's version of the Night's King - nothing like the show's version)...

But I think they are suspicious and not completely innocent. I keep going back to Pan's Labyrinth and the 'dirty fairies', even though that movie didn't give a full explanation either. The White Walkers are what's left of the good side that lost, and BR and the Children are bad guys who became the last protection of everyone.

I'm probably not too far from Brad on this. I think that the primary connection is to the Starks. I'm dubious there's much of a connection with the Children or at least not an active one, and I don't think that Bloodraven is an independent player, but rather part of the trees. As an aside I think that this may turn out to be the principal difference between the book and the mummer's version - the latter obsessing with the Iron Throne [ie; the Games of Thrones] rather than whats really going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Stark Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 With the show heading towards a Battle of Winterfell between the Night King and the good guys, I had some new thoughts on geography. We discussed Winterfell as winter + fell. 'Fell' being either where Winter started or where it ended. But isn't it in the wrong place? If Winterfell was the last stronghold of the living in the Long Night and where winter ended in a battle between the living and the dead like what the show is bringing us, wouldn't the people in the South be relatively unaffected? Far from being the armageddon that threatens to wipe out all life, people near Storm's End might need to wear an extra jacket. Dornish might enjoy a cool breeze. The final battle, if it came to that, should be much further South. And then the Wall is in the wrong place too. If Winterfell is where Winter started, it should be North of the Wall. And the Wall, if it is a barrier between the Others and the land of the living, should be the front of a war, and again, if this was the front, people living in the South would be unaffected.

Melifeather Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 IMO the Children blame themselves for teaching humans magic, and that is why the show depicted the creation of a white walker with a Children of the Forest inserting an obsidian blade into it's heart - which seems contrary to me, because obsidian breaks the spell. Maybe @wolfmaid7 has insight into how such a spell would work (one that is made and unmade using the same element). The story of the Last Hero has 13 men traveling in search of the Children. They could have all started out in the south and travelled north until they reached Winterfell and found the Children there. The hot springs that Winterfell is said to be built upon would have been an ideal place to ride out an extended winter. And the heart tree may be the site of the very first human greenseer.

Brad Stark Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Most electric things need copper wire to work, but stick extra copper wire in the wrong place and everything shorts out. I assumed magic worked the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
