It is increasingly amusing how each of his nonsensical, bullshit theories only start to make sense if you believe his previous nonsensical, bullshit theories.

It honestly is kinda weird that the humans, not the Others, were the ones to build a giant gently caress-off 700ft magical ice wall. It makes a lot more sense that the Others built it as a kind of "gently caress off this is our territory" marker.

Six minutes into this video he says littlefinger is trying to show things to the gods to fulfill prophecy by making sansa only talk to dontos in the godswood, not as an idiot with only a surface level reading might inference, that anywhere there is stone there is a little bird writing down everything they hear on the other side of it. This man is insane.

Gotta remember that these were ancient people, like those that built the Great Wall of China and Hadrian's wall and poo poo.

What the gently caress else were they going to do all day? They lived in the time between farms feeding everyone so not everyone needs to work, and the enlightenment where leisure meant having poo poo to do.

Wake up, build a wall, sleep, repeat x 10,000 makes perfect sense.

things underappreciated about Preston Jacobs: the really bad voices he gives to characters when he quotes them and how for a dude who obsessively goes over these books, he still can't manage to pronounce "Catelyn" right

like he doesn't call her Caitlin or Catlin, both of which would be acceptable, he says something like "Catiline"

This always threw me off too. I just let it sit as something GRRM could do to make the wall a real thing. I mean, it must have taken more than one summer/winter cycle to build it, so wouldn't the walkers just come and gently caress everyone up in the winter? :iiam:

Alternately, the presence of dragons in the world makes magic much more common than it is in "present day." But i really have no idea. I'm just piggybacking off of King in the dark tower stories where magic used to be a big thing and then slowly disappeared.

Roy Dotrice pronounces her name "Cat-eh-lynn." Maybe he listened to the audiobooks before reading.

Which takes me back to the fact that I am not even sure what the seven kingdoms even are.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose!
Gonna sperg a bit. The Riverlands aren't counted because when the targs originally conquered the area, it was held by the Iron Islands and later on was made into an independent realm or some such nonsense when some greyjoy got uppity. Kings Landing doesn't count in the sense that it's not a kingdom unto itself, but the seat of power for the entire continent.

I like the giant leaps of logic Preston Jacobs makes. Like Euron says "we will feast before the fall of night" obviously meaning that the Ironborn will get a bunch of land and loot in the near future but Preston somehow reads this as "I want the Long Night to happen".

Yes the riverlands weren't one of the seven kingdoms during the time of Aegon's conquest, they were ruled by the iron islands via king Harren the Black whose seat was in Harrenhall.

The titular seven kingdoms were the stormlands, the reach, dorne, the north, the iron isles, the vale and the westerlands.

Either the Stormlands or as I understood it they were basically the Targ kindgom and not counted because the Targs were the divine fuckers who took over from outside.

King's landing did not exist prior to Aegon's conquest, he founded the city, there was only a small fishing village in that spot before that, at the time of the conquest the area was under the rule of king Harren, I'd assume that the southern portions closer to Storm's End were controlled by the storm king until they were conquered by Aegon and Orys Baratheon (who married the daughter of the last storm king).
