GOT Finale – Bran’s Last Vision

by Evolett May 19, 2019 No Comments

The final episode of Game of Thrones is upon us, accompanied by a multitude of leaks, updated leaks and last-minute theories centered around those so-called leaks. Most of what I’ve heard or read, I do not like. Much of that would leave me feeling quite disappointed. Hopefully most of that stuff is wrong. I feel […]

Return of the Night King?

by Evolett May 6, 2019 No Comments

The Night King succumbed to the Catspaw Dagger, the hilt made of dragonbone, the other of Valyrian Steel. Valyrian Steel unmade him, presumably sending his spirit off to the Nightlands. But did that really happen? I think there is a twist to his death. Perhaps he will return. Season 8, Episode 3. The Long Night. […]

Quirky Seasons: It’s always summer under the sea

by Evolett April 4, 2018 No Comments

Long Summers and Two Long Nights – Extremes of Sand and Snow. Long Nights and Long Winters? How about the reality of Long Summers and their devastating effects on the planet? Are magically induced extremes of Summer the underlying cause of seasonal irregularity in George Martin’s fantasy world? Have there been at least two instances […]

Quirky Seasons: Under the sea, men marry fishes

by Evolett March 21, 2018 No Comments

Fertility Themes, the ultimate Key to a Song of Ice and Fire The fertility of the earth is tied to the seasonal cycle, and the latter, we know, is highly irregular in George Martin’s fantasy world. Why the seasons are asynchronous remains an unsolved mystery within the story. Ice and Fire are extreme forms of […]

Three Heads has the Dragon 2 – Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things

by Evolett January 29, 2017 No Comments

Welcome to part II of the true significance of the three-headed dragon. In this follow-up, I share my insights on how slavery and the exploitation of the elder races facilitated the harvesting of desirable traits, discuss the pros and cons of recombining the genes of different species and look at how all this is relevant to […]

Three Heads has the Dragon 1 – The Elder Races

by Evolett October 6, 2016 1 Comment

Five books and six seasons down the line, we should realize that hatching and riding dragons are only a small part of a much larger scenario. I’m personally convinced that many clues within the narrative suggest some ancient cultures in G. Martin’s world practiced a form of primitive genetic engineering, usually disguised as dark magic […]

Patchface and the Mermaid’s Kiss Revisited

by Evolett May 1, 2016 No Comments

How did Patchface survive the shipwreck when all others on board drowned? In this updated post, I take a more comprehensive look at the smallfolk’s explanation for his survival regarding the mermaid that taught him to breathe in exchange for his seed. I believe a mermaid did intervene, but not the way we imagine it may […]

Frozen Fire and the Genetic Significance of Blue Winter Roses

by Evolett February 24, 2016 10 Comments

Several theorists have published analyses dedicated to the symbolism of blue winter roses over the years. While I subscribe to many of them (great stuff), most deal with their significance in respect of Lyanna’s presumed relationship with Rhaegar and by extension, her child Jon. I do not recall reading a theory dealing with their significance […]
