Will Jon's Resurrection be Melisandre's Final Act? Winds of Winter Theory Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Whether or not you buy my theory about Jon's body being stolen by the Others, there will no doubt come a moment when Melisandre is involved in some kind of fiery resurrection / freeing Jon from Otherish enchantment event coming in The Winds of Winter... but will this be Mels' final act? Or will she become something... more?

Jon Snow's Pyre Will Mirror Drogo's Pyre - Ice and Fire Theory Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

The chapter where Jon slays Qhorin Halfhand - and where Qhorin's body is burned on a pyre - contains very detailed foreshadowing of Jon Snow's resurrection pyre. Seems like it's gonna parallel Drogo's pyre and the waking of the dragons - only this time, Jon is the waking dragon.

Night King's New Body? Jon Snow? Ice and Fire Endgame Theory Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

The evidence is accumulating - that's an accumulating Snow joke - the Others are going to come steal Jon's body, they're going to use him to lead their invasion of the Others... and they might be planning to fill it with the spirit of Night's King - the original one - who may be lurking in the weirwoodnet somewhere (this would be the Great Other). Detailed foreshadowing of all of this, right here!

Why Torrhen Stark Knelt - Aegon's Prophecy Jun 27, 2023

Torrhen Stark, "The King Who Knelt," yielded the North to Aegon the Conqueror without a fight. Was it simply because "dragons," or might Aegon have mentioned "white walkers?" And what about Brandon Snow's offer to kill the dragons? Was he going to use weirwood arrows? All this and more in Aegon's Prophecy part 3!
