@grayapple4837 4 месяца назад

Prester is a good choice for the POV, and you're right that GRRM probably built him up in Jaime's estimation for that reason. Personally though, I hope it's Lady Sybell Westerling (Spicer). Of all the characters on that wagon train, hers is the head I'd most like to see into. She could tell us a lot about Tywin's machinations on the Red Wedding, the politics of the Westerlands and Riverlands, and her own family history, including the magic of her grandmother, Maggy the Frog. Plus, having Nymeria kill someone who betrayed the Starks would be great poetic justice! Great video as always.

Chett didn't die in his POV. He wet his pants but he didn't die till a later Samwell chapter. It's silly to say epilogue or prologue POV characters die given this blatant "exception". The "epilogue" to A Game of Thrones though might have ended with the death and resurrection of Dany. There's that mysterious shift in POV where we're told what other characters see finding Dany in the remains of the funeral pyre. A similar shift was noted in a Victarion chapter.

I think that the wolf pack directly attacking 400 soldiers is a bit too much. My idea is that it's the Blackfish and Riverlands survivors who launch an attack, and as they win the Lannister forces scatter. That's where the wolves come in, hunting down the fleeing Lannisters.

Not sure if this is just a coincidence but: AGOT - beyond the wall ACOK - in the south ASOS - beyond the wall AFFC - in the south ADWD - beyond the wall Somewhere in the south seems a safe bet. I agree with the person who said Sybelle Spicer for the PoV. Stoneheart attacking Jeyne's transport seems an excellent shout.

The timing is all wrong for that. They leave riverrun mid dance of dragons. In that time Jaime has travelled to raventree lifted the siege gone to penny tree run off with Brienne. Then have enough time for word to get back to kings landing when Cersei was still in jail. Then Cersei has her walk of punishment then kevan is killed by Varys. If the caravan was attacked we would have heard about it in the last book.

I would love it if the prologue is from the perspective of Jon in Ghost. Which would break the rule of prologue POV chacter death in that (A the character is technically already dead and (B will take part in the main action after the prologue. And as for Jayne appearing in that prologue, well it's already been established that the direwolves have a magical awareness of their siblings whereabouts and specific activities. Jon/Ghost has even had a fairly vivid vision of Rickon and Shaggy Dog on a different land mass (Skaggos). So it's perfectly probable that they could have a vision of Nymeria in the Riverlands or the Westerlands. And maybe now that Jon/Ghost are one flesh they will be able to have visions of the Starks who have been separated from their wolves, such as Arya and Sansa. Such a prologue could well forshadow all of the Starks gaining conscious control of their skinchanging abilities.😊 🐺

@evanmcdonald9134 4 месяца назад

This isn’t exactly related to the winds prologue but I wanted to talk about my favorite chapter so far and thought this would be a good community to do it in. I just read the chapter where Brienne, Hyle Hunt, Podrick, and a septon are on their way from maidenpool. The way the septon speaks about the common man’s experience in war and how it breaks them moved me more than any of the other writing in the books. Obviously we see everything from the point of view of the rich and privileged, so anything from a common man’s point of view is interesting to a certain extent, but the emotion conveyed in this part was just incredible. At the end, they ask him which war he was in and he says he was a young boy. Hyle tells him “The war of the ninepenny kings?” “So they called it, though I never saw a King or earned a penny. It was war though. That it was”

@mythal0620 4 месяца назад

Great analysis and assessment! I've actually kind of said goodbye to the books because I can no longer believe that the series will be completed - but you've given me a renewed approach today, as well as you obviously know the books. The only thing that bothers me are the film images, because the film version completely lost me after the second or third season and I just found it absurd by the end.

@gustavoferroni2693 4 месяца назад

This is a very good breakdown of possibilities, thank you!! I think you are spot on. Nymeria will attack! My money is on Ser Forley Prester being the point of view. The big question is, will the pack kill Edmure and Jeyne or will he? Could they kill everyone, afterall doesnt matter how big the pack is, 400 soldiers is no joke, right? Or will the soldiers end up killing Nymeria - maybe this prompts Arya to abandon the faceless men and come back to Westeros? She would feel it, right? This could be a good way to solve several threads: wolf pack finished, Edmure and Jeyne dead, Lannisters lose hostages and many soldiers, succession in Riverlands and North gets more open for Sansa to claim it, Arya gets incentive to head back. If the prologue goes this way it would help move the story more quickly. Also, imagine the shock of so many important charcteres dying in the prologue!

@AndrewK23777 4 месяца назад

Great vid as always IDG. Interesting thoughts / theory IDG , i think this prologue scenario could work really well on many levels. I had been leaning more towards LSh but perhaps underestimated the size of the Lannister force protecting Jeyne's caravan , especially considering their preparedness with them on the alert for any attack. I was between LSh and possibly even the Blackfish maybe converging unknowingly at the same time with the same aim. That would make for an interesting Tully reunion of sorts. Didn't really think of the wolf-pack in this instance , had thought more about the pack helping take out the Freys more specifically but I do like it to intercept Jeyne en route to Casterly Rock. The use of the wolf-pack in the prologue would actually be a fitting introduction in terms of the pack taking action on a grander scale , with ideally more to come from them. And could be the start of the Stark comeback in a sense and a catalyst for them with Arya and beyond.

You forgot to mention there is a tendency for a certain type of character to be the POV of the prologue. The first one was beyond the wall, the second one a maester, the third one beyond the wall, the fourth one a maester (or close to it), and lastly, the fifth one was beyond the wall, again. It is likely the POV is a maester Another thing, about Jeyne's hips. Yes, GRRM said it was an author error her description, but I remember it being refered to be the one description made in AFFC, not in ASOS

@Levacque 4 месяца назад

The other thing about the hips is who was looking at Jeyne. Catelyn, being extremely preoccupied with motherhood and procreation (especially in ASOS, it's a major theme in her chapters), would be much more likely to pay close attention to her son's wife's body. Jaime, on the other hand, has absolutely no reason to find Jeyne's body interesting. All he sees is a thin young girl who isn't ready for any of this. Jaime see a fragile person in need of safety, so the thinness of her frame emphasizes that.

@carlrood4457 4 месяца назад

The question is WHY Nymeria would make such an attack? If it were Arya's warging influence, then how would saving Jeyne and/or Edmure be relevant? While related to her, she doesn't know them as far as we've seen. How would she have the intelligence to even know about the transport? She wouldn't. She couldn't. That would mean someone else is behind the superpack and Arya's just been around for the ride. Arya's chapter mentions a tree watching, so it could be a , "When in doubt..." situation.

@moose2_the_o756 Месяц назад

A common theme in the prologues that you didn't mention is that books 1, 3, and 5 include the Others. While books 2 and 4 included a maester (or maester in training). I wouldn't be surprised if the POV was a minor maester who dies somehow.

@alexandermendez4653 2 месяца назад

It alternates between north of the wall and a maester or someone studying to be a maester. Maesters are good povs because of their proximity to important people. If Jeyne will be in the prologue, then it will be whatever Maester is closest to her.

@johnpotts8308 4 месяца назад

While I doubt the Brotherhood would attack 400 men, a smaller force can successfully ambush a larger one if they attain surprise (and this is the Blackfish's country). Perhaps Nymeria's wolf pack attacks the Lannister camp throwing it into chaos and the Blackfish/Brotherhood uses the opportunity to rescue Edmure and/or Jeyne. The problem with that is it requires a degree of co-ordination between Nymeria and the Blackfish/Brotherhood, neither of which seems particularly likely (unless we go with the old stand by, "Bloodraven did it").

@momof5dragons46 3 месяца назад

So glad we'll get some insight about the wolves. They are such huge part of the story and they deserve a conclusion. Particularly Nymeria

Actually, where does Jayne fit in the world right now? Her family are Lannister loyalists. She was married to Robb for a short time, is not pregnant, and as far as she's aware, all Starks are dead (at least presumed dead). Tullys are distant kin through marriage, out of power and luck. Her prolonged stay with her was necessitated by circumstances. If the pack frees her and Edmure, where she goes next? Does she tag along with Edmure and goes somewhere? The secretly living Starks don't know her, should she go North and barter a place with them as Robb's widow to live with them for the rest of her life? Does she aim for the Wall and Jon, Robb's much loved brother? She is only 15 or 16, she could live a long life still that would make this entire thing but a blip. Is surrendering to her mother the best for her, after all? She could be a marriage option for the next Lord of Winterfell, had Rickon been older than 6. But Catelyn went from Brandon to Ned, could being matched with Jon be Jayne's fate? Could she fake an heir or be convinced to fake an heir?

From what he’s said about writing, going back, rewriting etc I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s working on the last book but occasionally has to go back to WoW and change things so the end makes sense. Writing both at the same time basically so he doesn’t back himself into a corner.

I hope the Blackfish is the prologue. I loved Kevan being an epilogue character since he is a character that we have seen quite a lot of before his epilogue and I still remember how i felt way back when i saw him as the POV to the epilogue.

@moldyketchuphead 4 месяца назад

The Arya quote also hints at a tree watching the wolves. It's possible even that Bran uses some tree magic to aid the wolf pack in their attack on the Lanister force heading to Casterly Rock. I just don't recall exactly what sort of magic he might use or what sort of things he could know about that Lanister force.

The wolf pack attacks the convoy and kills almost everyone, but Nymeria sniffs Jane Stark and senses the Stark embryo, letting her live. But then Jane is stranded alone in the middle of nowhere and dies of exposure.
