The Preston Jacobs recaps are generally full of them. Maybe he should check those out.

What he was arguing for makes no logical sense and he half admitted that while covering his tracks with the line about it being indicative of what he doesn't like about the show

I'm not saying the show doesn't ever have plot holes, I'm saying that thing he's arguing isn't a plot hole

I don't see the Hound and Mountain meeting up anytime soon and I think the mountain goes down when Kings Landing goes down. The hound is headed north to the wall. Maybe Jamie takes out the Mountain after Cersei goes completely insane.

I'm of the opinion that the Mountain goes rogue once the Wall comes down. He'll turn full wight. Then in the final battle, The Hound kills his brother once and for all with a flaming sword.

By this logic wouldn't every un-burnt dead thing with at least some flesh become a wight?

That's the logic I'm following, so yes. It would be fricking awesome in the Casterly Rock battle that's probably coming up if Tyrion wins it, the Wall falls down, and immediately all the men that fell rise causing chaos throughout Casterly Rock and Lannisport.

In the analysis that followed, it was discovered that Martin’s quote about Valyria was adapted from a biblical quote about ancient Babylon:

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Now, let’s get to the theory: That passage comes from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 18, Verse 10. In shorter notation, that’s Revelation 18:10.

Martin also uses the specific language from the King James version of the bible, and the King James in question was, of course, an English monarch. So: Revelation 18:10.

My theory is ludicrously simple, and I’m a little shocked that nobody (as far as I can tell) has scooped me in the past three days: Martin’s “revelation” is that The Winds of Winter will be published on 18/10, which is British notation for Oct. 18.

In the past, Martin has referenced the fact that his publishers could get his book out within three months if they were in a rush. As it happens, Oct. 18 is just over three months from the present, and if Martin had previously turned in his manuscript, it makes sense that a longer, more usual publication schedule was in place.

Good grief people have too much time on their hands.

Wasn't it Valeryian steel? Sam knows it can kill white walkers

I mean I get that, sure, but it seems like an odd thing to include with no follow up

it wasn't that long ago, if you are looking at how many episodes have passed since he took it. I highly doubt we don't see heartsbane again

I haven't read the books in a while, have we ever been given any reason why White Walkers come down

in other words I've never read the books, is there anything in them that says why the white walkers come down?
