Oh Wow, I am pretty sure in the 100 sq km of where I live, I am in the top 10 game of thrones weirdos, but I have never heard of this theory - specifically the part about the “Sentient Meteor” and “Bloodstone Island breaking the arm of Dorne”. That said, I like this part of the theory.

I know they did that, but I always thought it was limited to only a very few people.

Aeron Greyjoy

Ehh… The dude’s a misogynists as well, did the deep ones program that in him too or leave that in? People change after near death experiences, I am sure Martin is playing with that rule. But I can still see it.

Davos Seaworthy

That is an interesting… speculation - tenor.com/…/interesting-speculation-the-terror-re…

See, this one is just not believable.

He wakes up delirious and with an immediate driving compulsion to kill Melisandre, even though she had nothing to do with the deaths of his sons

People aren’t rational beings. He, of course, wouldn’t hurt his liege lord, but a foreign woman influencing your lord? She’s the perfect scapegoat for his monkey brains at that moment. Dude lost four sons, he has to cope with the fact that he willingly let them all go into battle for a man whose odds of becoming the king are very low.

It seems his personality change was the most minor and temporary, possibly because he drowned the least badly.

Also because I don’t like this fact. ‘Least Badly’ is not the modus operandi of the gods in ASOIAF. The magic in ASOIAF is cruel, weird, erratic, costly and full of mockery. I don’t think deep ones would just leave him like that. And I don’t think martin meant it and if he did, I’d chalk that up to “overwriting”. Though, he’s good at avoiding that. (so far)

That’s how GRRM writes, he repeats the same themes over and over with slight variations.

Sure there are aspects to this that I like, but I think it too often veers into the territory of “He is the chosen one” or “My brother is actually cold hands or the hound is the grave digger” for my tastes. The way GRRM executes the chosen one story line is the most interesting one out of all the other authors, but it still is a chosen one story line. I like things to be less connected, that gives the world a sense of massive scale and depth.

Thanks for the videos, I have something new to binge.
