14.00 I'd have some copium and say that in-world the maesters would muddy the waters and use Cole as a scapegoat as the "Kingmaker" not having it be an Oldtown/Hightower conspiracy

[TheKingOfRooks]

The Gods Eye is singular because it's the eye of the blue eyed giant Makumber and is an infinite space that once you enter you can never leave because contained within it is the entire world

It's wild to say _It_ isn't thematically about the loss of childhood innocence. The last scene is two adults riding a child's bike down a hill to get one of them out of a Pennywise-induced catatonic state. And I mean, _what they did as kids on the way out of the sewers._

[LordAbraxas]

As for Mance saying he saw all the wolves with the kids. I doubt he came all the way to winterfell, arrived exactly when the feast started and left exactly when it ended. He probably would've hung out around winterfell a few days before or after and seen all the pups with the kids

Recently watched a vid of Preston & Carmine where PJ pointed out there's nothing in the actual story of ASoIaF that explicitly says the Others are looking to invade.

Personally, I think that would be a GREAT twist for the fanfic - the Others just wanted the Wildlings out of their land (or something), had no intention of invading, but the actions of the Seven Kingdoms (assuming they're a threat) actually makes the Others invade.

Seems very fitting with their whole status as the "other" - we don't understand them, *they're different, they must be a threat to us, even though they've shown no signs of wanting to destroy us

What I would pay money to see is alt shift and trey explaining the north remembers fanfic to pj and carmine and every one of them are sauced

35:25 the faces carved in the trees do nothing for the green seers its more for the benefit of everyone else..in the story it wasnt the telepaths or green seers who carved the faces in the trees it was the first men who did it after the pact after they knew for a fact that the children could use them to see...so its more for all the regular folks to remember and keep in mind that someone could be watching them from the trees by personifying them by giving them faces...so even if after generations the communication between men and the children is lost, people could still look at the faces on the trees and learn that its possible for children and green seers to look through them by asking the native people who know

[LordAbraxas]

I don't think many people are saying that Dark Star is what Ned would've been like post time skip, they're saying Dark Star replaced Ned as the person to bring Dawn into the story because Ned is too young to wield a greatsword and not in Dorne

[fleshbhones]

Love that PJ took a stand against MAGA supporters. There's tons of other ASOIAF youtubers who claim to be "Progressive" and still have Karl Karsnark running their stuff. Kudos to you for sticking to your guns.

[GoodVolition]

You've heard of Jon Snow. But have you heard of Job Now? "I don't want it. I want to go back to baking bread and accounting."

[nickm]

Im not sure why Prestons so stuck on Gods Eye. I just assumed its from the very famous 1974 scifi novel Mote in Gods Eye. He probably was a fan.

> the matter of seeing from above
Everyone who can warg into a bird or ride a dragon will see it.

[AGuyWithAChannel]

I love Preston, but it really seems like he’s losing the ability to appreciate nuance and… give grace to the text?
The direwolves weren’t with the kids at the feast hall, but Mance was at Winterfell outside of the feast hall.
Even just in the hours before or after, he could see the wolves following their owners.
It’s really, *really* easy to find an explanation for this… if you avoid bad faith presumptions of error.

[humzakhalid]

19:53 it actually makes more sense that the editor was the one who put the apostrophe that one time thinking he/she caught a grammatical mistake

[iliaponomarev]

> singular god makes the least sense
Unless it's Drowned God.
And, well, the Ironborn were in possession of God's Eye before Aegon.

[_addison]

Do places usually keep the apostrophe?

[LarthV]

Regarding Edric Dayne: Somehow I hope that if anyone, he is married to Sansa. Why? Because all of what we know of him implies he is a genuinely nice person who is humble enough to play the second fiddle after her - like a Prince Albert to a Queen Victoria. And after all Sansa has been through, being married to a person that supports her and is kind to her while still being able to let her be the uncontested queen would be nice...

Many thanks for answering my question, I highly recommend Ripper Street if you ever find yourself with some spare time and are looking for something to watch.

I've always thought the Gods Eye used to be a huge volcano that got destroyed in a massive eruption and the entire lake is just it's crater. It can be an explanation for the long night, all the obsidian in westeros, and also the weird climate if it's eruption tilted the axis of planetos further than our own.

With the Gods Eye, I immediately connected it to Bloodraven's eye-related situation - the Gods Eye is many gods with one eye (metaphorically? like most of the hivemind's concentration if focused on whatever's happening on the Gods Eye, or the hivemind originated there, so originally it was the only place the gods were watching?), whereas Bloodraven is one dude with many metaphorical eyes. I don't think GRRM had much - if any - concept of Bloodraven when writing AGoT; for what its worth, he has a weird number of eyes on the Three-Eyed Crow, but I still think its much more likely that Bloodraven is an offshoot of the original Gods Eye idea, not the other way around.
