Wait, are you saying that Preson Jacobs, to make his conspiracy videos about Songs of Ice and Fire, plays fast and loose with textual evidence to support his theory? Why I never...

Read Fire and Blood, still can't believe GRRM named one of his Targaryen kings Aenys, and that neither he nor anyone involved realized how loving stupid reading page after page about King Anus is.

I think the show and the books made it pretty clear that Ned's decision to keep Jon close was emotional, rather than logical. His sister was very important to him, even moreso when she died because he'd just lost his father and older brother, and been thrust into a position he never thought he'd have. Then he's given a baby, the last living part of his sister, and he doesn't have Targaryen weirdo purple eyes; he looks like Lyanna. He's not going to send him to the Vale to be Arryn's ward like he was, and he's certainly not going to tell Robert, who was already in a dragon killing mood even before Lyanna died. We never see Robert learn about her death, but I'm pretty sure that even had Ned been thinking about telling him then, that anger and murderous rage towards anything with dragon blood would have scared Ned shitless for his sister's baby. Trying to logic this out is sorta forgetting that these are supposed to be people, not fantasy robots. Unless that turns out to be the big twist at the end.

So much for the "War Against the Dead." That was more like, "A skirmish against the dead and then a dimly lit battle against the dead and then the dead are dead."

Can anybody explain to me what Jon meant when Sam was like, "If it's a boy, we're gonna name him Jon" and Jon said "I hope it's a girl?"

Yeah they had the frog scene, but they specifically omitted the third part, about the valonqwhatever killing her. She just says the thing about the crowns and shrouds and the woman coming to supplant her.

It may be just me reading into show stuff a bit more than I should, but when Bran tells Sam about R+L, he doesn't say that the rebellion was based on a misconception or a mistake, but that it was built on a lie. Being lied to is different than making a false assumption, and it's been postulated that the liar in question could have been Littlefinger himself, who had a grudge against Brandon and was hanging around at the Crossroads Inn around the same time, still butthurt about losing the duel for Cat. If Littlefinger did indeed sow some of his trademark chaos by telling Brandon that Rhaegar had forcefully abducted Lyanna, it makes sense that Brandon would just go down to King's Landing and try to fight Rhaegar, and it also would echo Littlefinger's plot in the first book to get Ned Stark killed.

Do you really need the night's watch now that the walkers are gone forever and the wall is all busted? They never said so but between the walker threat ending and the wildlings becoming members of the new queen/king's retinue, I don't see much of the point of having manned castles protecting a broken wall.

Why were they using real weapons during the tournament? It seemed like they were killing each other on purpose, like the dude who got the axe to the face. Didn't they use blunted tourney weapons, and let people live when they were on the ground, beaten? I know Daemon was allowed to yield, but nobody in the crowd seemed like it was anything but normal to have folks fight to the death in what was at the time basically sports.
