Rickon's Return Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'm doing my first re-read and as I'm going through CoK, I'm really enjoying all the POV's of the Red comet and all their interpretations of it's meaning. Does anyone else think the comet will appear again in future books or was it just an omen for all of the character's to speculate? Does anyone think it could be something OTHER than a comet??It is just mentioned so consistently through most of the book, it surprised me that it kind of just disappeared (or at least the characters no longer bother mentioning it).I am curious what everyone's theories are about this!

thecryptile Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I believe that the Red Comet is a celestial portent, symbolizing... I dunno, but I bet it's really important, lol.It might *crackpot* be a dragon- after all in Doreah's story dragons came from a moon that collided with the sun...

Qhorin Fivehands Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think it does mean the return of dragons, as Osha says in the show (not sure if she does in the books). My guess is it'll come back when Dany invades Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickon's Return Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 If it is a comet and doesn't land crash in Westeros or Essos, I don't know how we'd see it again. I'm no astronomer but I doubt it'd switch courses and make another loop over their skies.But it it's not a comet, which I'm not convinced it is, it could turn up anywhere. Which is what I am hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienarea Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 It's the Death Star v4. And when the red star bleeds, Westeros is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious Fire Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'm almost sure the red comet was later mentioned in ASOS, but I can't remember who did it. Maybe it was in Davos or Tyrion's POV. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qyburn0896 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I trust the targaryen interpretation of the prophecies more than anyone else's just because less has been revealed about what people have to say about them.Less is more, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
