Potential
Spoilers Below
These are Season 1 scenes that
I believe will have a foreshadowing to the Final season
1. Melisandre
tells us Varys dies. But will he die a
hero?
·
However he dies I now believe it will be serving
the realm. He will be put in a position
where he could do like he always does and stay hidden in the shadows but this time his
love for the realm will not allow him to do so.
I believe he will be killed by dragon fire and by his friend.
·
My initial thought on his death was he would be
still killed by dragon fire but by this person
2. Is
it blasphemous to pray to yourself? The
drumbeat keeps getting louder to me as to who Bran is. Once the reveal is shown and you re-watch the
series it will be as plain as day.
·
This keeps coming up in season 1 as it will turn
out to be the most important piece of the puzzle that is A Song of Ice and
Fire. The following is repeated time
after time within the Wheel of Time books and describes perfectly the process
that Bran has undergone:
The Wheel of Time
turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend
fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it
birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age
yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not
the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the
Wheel of Time. But it was a
beginning.
Bran Stark
is born and grows up on stories and magically goes back into time; this hasn’t
happened yet and won’t be shown until near the end of the series. He passes along the stories that happen in
his lifetime of the present as things that occurred in the past. This to me will give those in the here and
now hope that the White Walkers can be defeated. At this point however Bran has no idea how to
do this. Bran builds the Wall and then
Winterfell. He then builds the crypts of
Winterfell around him to look over his family when the time comes. Those stories that he tells become legend and
then fades to myth. When we get around
to when Bran is born; the age that gave the past its birth those myths are long
forgotten (we
see this in how the White Walker were thought of as snarks and grumpkins). In the Wheel of time they mention the wind
that rose; in the books it is described as being in different places. They also tell you the wind was not a
beginning. This to me lets you know that
Bran isn’t confined to just the Winterfell weirwood but across the face of
their planet. In the TV show and the books,
they describe
Bran when he tries to talk to people while within a weirwood tree as a wind or
a rustling of the leaves. I
truly believe that Bran represents the old gods within the series. Did he also create the new gods? A question not asked is since things within
this story repeat itself will the Wheel be broken as Daenerys once said she
will do?
· A side note is why is Bran so emotionless now
that he is the three-eyed crow? I think
this again has to do with the Wheel of Time.
It has to do with the feeling of embracing saidin had on Rand al’Thor
Plucking the
horn-hilted dagger from the air with one hand, Rand
let go of the Source. Even with the taint twisting his belly, the taint that
eventually destroyed men who channeled, letting go was difficult. With saidin in him, he saw
more clearly, heard more sharply. It was a paradox he did not understand, but when he was
floating in that seemingly endless Void, somehow buffered against bodily
feeling and emotions, every sense was magnified; without it he felt only
half-alive.
When I get
time, I will go through the rest of Season 1 to see how I believe they will
relate to the final season. But as
always, I think everything about this show relates back to the Wheel of Time
and the following concept:
Laura Wilson:
What about
this notion of time as a wheel? Is that your idea?
Robert Jordan:
No. It's not
mine. It is from Hindu mythology that time is a wheel. But actually, most
eastern cultures believed that time was circular. The Greeks gave us the great
gift of believing that time was linear. And that's a great gift because if time is circular, if
everything repeats in cycles, then change is impossible. No matter what you do,
it's always going to come back to what is here. But if time is linear, then
change is possible. But I wanted the circularity because I wanted, again, to go
into the changes by distance. So, the myths and legends and a few of the
stories that these people tell, well, some of them are based on our own current
events, on the present. What they are doing is based on our myths and legends.
So they are the source of our myths and legends, and we are the source of
theirs.
Comments encouraged. Love to hear the idea’s of
others. Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m
not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth. I simply
look at the information presented and go from there. If you can shine a
light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.
