Everyone’s fav Skagosi war-prince is coming home, and what’s that going to look like? @GreyWasteTim and I will examine what we know about Skagos and its history & culture, and of course the obligatory look at Northern politics… but Tim has found some great historical parallels to Dance of the Dragons-era Targaryens that will really help crack the case! The long-awaited Rickon TWOW Predictions stream got better y waiting, so don’t miss it!

Love all 😂the python refs!
2:19:03 green is for jealousy. So the jealous creature eats its own and possesses everything, maybe?
Love the idea that Rickon might live! I always hate when books or shows kill off a character just for shock value and that’s what Rickon’s death in the show was
So, in the end, there will be at least Freefolk barbarians, Mountain Clans barbarians, Hill Tribes barbarians, Skagosi barbarians & Dothraki barbarians running amok in the Seven Kingdoms. Good to know.
"… Rickard Stark, not my father's father…"
Ok, it's not the Rick Stark that had southern ambitions & joined his House with the Tullies in marriage, it's about another Rick Stark who expanded his kingdom southwards & had a "southerner" for his queen. Got it.
The feast of Skane is almost word for word the real world Maori conquest of the Moriori
It's gonna be great, and utterly put the show to shame
How fast did Tim run during that restroom break? Ludicrous speed?
Great stream, good sets! And dayum, GWT sounded good, congrats on the new equipment!
More backing for LmL’s thoughts around 1:20:00–1:24:00 ish about the horned moon pointing to the Skagosi & their goats helping overthrow the Freys—along with sacrifice, we figured out during bookclub two weeks back that the horned moon (& tributes to it) is meant to protect against the Evil Eye (which your Catelyn quote has Walder Frey acting as through the murder hole).
Also, unicorns are also meant to be protective forces… and in the Last Unicorn they stampede out of the sea when Amalthea frees them while King Haggard’s tower crumbles into dark water… so waves of horns & hooves from across the sea are about to quench another gross old man’s skeevy stares.
Keep up the awesome work! Really looking forward to the Cannibal stream!
Just been reading a book about Eleanor of Aquitaine and found some interesting names. Her grandmother was called Dangerosa {yes, really}. There's a bishop called Drogo, a Queen of Jerusalem named Melisende, at least 3 Counts nicknamed Martel & at least 4 called Conan. Plus Brienne was (and may still be) a town in France. GRRM loves his medieval history.
Green magic: green magic is the cycle is death and rebirth, time is a cycle which consumes itself.
Thanks!
I believe I read somewhere in a GRRM interview that Holding the door means something different but similar. Hodor has a sword and Bran has been practicing swordplay in Hodors body and this is preparing Hodor to "Hold The Door", or, in Martins words, "Hold this pass" against enemies.
I subscribe to David's theory on the intricate cave system beneath Westeros, allowing Bran and company to escape by boat via Myra Reed, but I'm not quite sure If Hodor is going to be in that boat. 😢
Where is the cannibal video?!?
Rat Cook Walder Frey would be funny
"If I were a wolf 🐺, I'd free all my Starks" 🎶I love 'em, love 'em, baby🎶 😂😂😂
Looking handsome, Tim
The Luciferian goat has normal goat horns, and a third unicorn horn – I think someone mentioned it, but feels odd to not discuss it more directly – given the name of the channel
Hodor theory opening the black gate if true just means GRRM watched Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian
The 3 Eyed Crow is the shadow mind inside the tree, which acts through, but independently of, Bloodraven. This is why Bloodraven was unaware of the interactions between Bran and the 3 Eyed Crow. Bloodraven watched Bran, and sent Jojen & Myra, while the 3 Eyed Crow was teaching/changing Bran, and wants him to explore the Stark crypt.
Can't wait for Rickon's return!
So when Lewin goes into the crypts with Bran they pass quite a few tombs before they get to Ned's. He mentions Jon Stark first, that's quite a long time ago. Also Ned sees some swords were rusted away when he goes to visit Liana's tomb with Robert. I wonder if the crypts have a tree-like structure. Because we know the oldest Starks are in the deepest levels, but Ned's isn't the last grave either. So if it was like a burried tree and Ned's tomb was in a branch and the oldest Starks were in the roots and the door was somewhere in the trunk, it would work, you'd have to pass some pretty old tombs to get to the newest tombs in a branch.
Rickon's story is so intriguing… he is so young and yet…
When you guys were talking about Hodor literally having to pry open the black gate and then having it squish him, it made me think of that 80s movie Krull. I don't know if you've ever seen it but one of the guys (do I believe was also a gentle giant) has to hold the door for the rest of them to get into the castle of the main bad guy but gets squished in the process
1:11:35 you know… I wonder if a panicked Sansa separated from Little finger could bluff her way into a Mountain Clan Army by playing the "Wife of the Halfman" card. I think she could- especially if she had a warg bond by then. It would also be a dope way to bring back Tyrion's mountain men!
51:55 if Jon leads the Others into Westeros, how will he be accepted as any kind of king after that..? Maybe as he leads their invasion, they reveal their strength – perhaps ice dragons or the sheer amount of Others there actually are. And he turns on them and deals a decisive blow in spite of this – leading to people accepting his leadership
Has the connection been made with the old classic Disney movie "the shaggy dog" where a man turns into a dog. Put that in your Garth and smoke it.
