      Also, Cats relationship with her sister is insane. They were together allll the time and Cat never once realized Lyssa was pregnant.
      I'd also suggest that Jon is far more politically astute while he's at the wall.

      @@lanestapp2 The pregnancy aspect is, I think, avoided or overlooked by a large portion of the fandom. There is no way in hell you overlook something like that if you are close enough to have a secret language. Lysa would have been shattered. Cat also hangs Ned out to dry trusting Baelish when even SHE doesn't actually trust him. Shit doesn't add up.
      On the other hand, has Sansa, even once, thought about Jeyne Poole since leaving KL? Maybe it's genetic, or some kind of avoidance reaction. Sansa also doesn't think about her own complicity in things that have happened, just like her mother.
      I hope Jeyne spills everything to the North, and Sansa gets slapped with Exile. It won't be much longer until she can. I'd be curious what LF would do in that situation, since Sansa becomes useless to him other than as a Cat proxy.

    I think the sleeping for 4 days was foreshadowing for stoneheart being resurrected. I believe in the past people believed the spirit left the body 4 days after dying. When Cat wakes up on the 4th day she is a new person. Stoneheart was brought back on the 3rd day before her spirit left. Could be the same for Jon.

    @winterwolf7423 3 года назад +5

    Lady Stoneheart is Catelyn raw. I love that. It's the truth. Like you both say, Catelyn has always had darkness and a potential for violence in her. Stoneheart is her with all of her polish, warmth, cultural values, and softness stripped away from her. We see a shade of that in this particular chapter with her willingness to go head to head against the assassin and how hyperfocused she can be in her grief. In her later chapters, she also doesn't shy away from violence or extreme measures.

  • @DD-ok2pt
    @DD-ok2pt 3 года назад +13

    I am wondering if all the times "music" and "singing" appears that is NOT connected to an instrument or human it is actually a "sign" of the Children of the Forest". Catelyn hearing the "music" in the howling could refer to the messages the Children are sending. Also I think it was Bridge 4 who theorised that the Children had put Catelyn in a trance to NOT leave Brans side because they knew the Catspaw was coming.
    So the question is can the Children control people thru their music? It is not fully skin changing them but using them almost like puppets. The way the howling/music irritates Catelyn is reminiscent to a lesser degree of the anguish a host who has been skin changed. Then Summer licking the blood off her hands like --- jojen paste

      I feel like this *could* have something to do with it, and the theory isn't without merit, though a mother's preoccupation with protecting her sick child (and staying with him to the point that she's not eating and neglecting her other children), is completely believable and natural on its own. Bloodraven doesn't have to have *anything* to do with it.

      I can't disagree with you too much, though it is a *very* common - albeit tragic - circumstance in real life, in which one child dies or is close to death, and any other, living children are ignored and essentially neglected. This also happens with severely disabled children, whose siblings are neglected. It sucks, though it's not rare, and you can't hate Cat *too* much for it.

      He wasn’t her most vulnerable though. Bran was clearly her most vulnerable child. She’s supposed to be a regular woman with four kids, she can’t be there for everything. It wouldn’t have been emotionally realistic for her to be there for Rickon when her other son is comatose, most parents would prioritise the sick child over the healthy.

    As a writer, I can honestly tell that George simply is not interested in completing HIS work anymore, and that truly saddens me. You have to understand, once you begin to write a series that is planned to span on for several novels, you have to make it your goal for it to be finished, one way, or the other.
    The series of novels I have begun to write, all of them have their planned endings and I am invested in each new series I begin, it is unacceptable for me to simply begin to write a new series, while leaving the other one behind, because I know that by doing that, I will let down all of those men and women who have decided to invest their precious time on this earth in reading the worlds of fiction I have created.
    George, this is an advice from a beginning, young, and still learning writer: If you do not have it in you to complete your work, then pass on the torch to someone you might see fit to do so, before it becomes too late...

    I think Summer licked the blood from Catelyn's hands simply because he's bonded with Bran, and he knows she's Bran's mother. It could be in her scent, maybe relatives have a similar smell. Or it could be as simple as Summer running in and seeing Catelyn fighting to protect his young master, and in his mind that cemented her place as a part of 'his pack'. He wasn't just saving Bran, or he would have ignored her completely and only checked on him. But that's just what I got out of it.

    Love your podcasts Gray Area, I always look forward to your content.
    I feel for Catelyn Stark as she grieved for Bran and the safety of her family, she made some mistakes and I hate how she treated Jon (Ned could've stood up for Jon and told Cat that she couldn't treat him like that, if he can stand up for Ashara Dayne then he couldve stood up for his nephew), but other than that she seemed like a decent woman. She made some rash decisions but that's how mother's would act when they feel like their family in danger and in later books she tried to warn Robb and she gave him good advise, it was Robb who chose not to listen and I don't get Catelyn crap for releasing Jaime to get her daughter's in return. I would've done the same in her position.

You're my lady and the mother of my trueborn children, whom I love with all my heart. But Jon is *also* my son, and he is just a child, a child who loves his siblings as they love him.

    The relationship the Stark kids have to their dire wolves seems to parallel the relationship the Targaryen kids develop with their dire wolves... As the relationship grows, kid/animal tend to lean on each other and support each other... like they share life energy somehow. Bran, tho, really is in a coma... a coma dream... He's in Bran's body... and in his dream... but he given all that he lost, he needs a reason to live. Until the coma dream comes to completion... he's living for the sake of his dire wolf... it's like the will of the wolf is keeping him alive until he finds a more compelling reason. In his coma dream it's spelled out... why he has to live... because "Winter is coming"... and then he names his dire wolf "Summer"... in order to oppose the great other.... whom I think is named "Winter" simply because of the juxtaposition. It seems to me that "Winter" is terrible horrible creature that Bran gets a glimpse of in his dream - perhaps the "nameless other".

    I could be wrong.. but as I recall 9th grade biology lmao in most DNA traits to be passed down there are dominant and recessive alleles which contribute to your personal traits and as I remember the mechanics I see magic as being a recessive trait because it isn’t very prevalent around Westeros so to give the trait of magic you would need to pass the recessive allele from both father and mother to the child and in the case of the stark children they all possess magical traits which means the parents at least posses one allele of the recessive magic trait to be able to pass it along so catelyn does have the magic gene in her DNA which could be the reason she is able to tap into a hyper sensitive almost magic like sense of danger.. but again I could be totally wrong 😂

    So.... People that say everything is Cats fault are kinda reductionist in their logic and they forget that the inciting incident really was her sister whom She loves and trusts sending a letter saying her husband was killed by the Lannisters.
    They ignore the fact that Lewin convince Jon to join the wall.
    They take autonomy and agency from all the other characters. Things like Ned Telling Cercie he knew about the incest, Robb breaking the oath to marry a Frey.
    Like people say that her taking Tyrion started the war but Robert was still Alive, Tywin hell even Jamie (who was in the city with the King) could have petitioned the king for his release. They don't talk about Jamie tossing bran out of the window. Granted Seizing Tyrion was a public action.

    Hey so real talk, Do People truly think that Robb could have Taken the twins by intimidation or force and still have an army large enough to fight the war?
    I've seen a few people say that Cat was dumb for Negotiating with the Freys because they're their Bannermen but The Tullys haven't been treating the freys very well. Walder Frey has said that they have been disrespecting him and his family wanting nothing to do with them. And this goes back even before the trident.
    If you treat people like crap shouldn't expect things from when you need a favor. I feel like the show did the Freys a disservice. they are not cheap they have are very wealthy, they are one of the most powerful houses in the Riverland they do have negotiating power they gave Rob 4,000 men and still had plenty of men left to hold the twins.
    We saw Robb negotiating with his Lord's before they left for war. Even Renly talked about his followers wanting wealth or glory or a new castle. Hell Ned only married Cat herself to get the Tully army for his war.
    Someone please enlighten me.

    See Demeter’s rage in the Homeric Hymn, a mother goddess whose maiden goddess daughter is kidnapped after Zeus gives permission for the marriage without Demeter or daughter’s knowledge. Then, when she learns the truth, she finds a little mortal boy to care for, plans to make him an immortal surrogate son, and her plans are dashed. What does she do? Starts the process of Killing the whole world by sitting alone in her temple in grief and making the whole world wilt until Zeus bring back her baby girl. What will Stoneheart do if her daughters are restored to her? I do not know. But we’re in the phase of killing the whole world due to maternal grief and rage right now.

    Rob being Brandon bastard Theory it makes no sense time wise, and it's just more Catelyn hate.
    "And when Brandon was murdered and Father told me I must wed his brother, I did so gladly, though I never saw Ned’s face until our wedding day. I gave my MAIDENHOOD to this solemn stranger and sent him off to his war and his king and the woman who bore him his bastard, because I always did my duty."
    A Clash of Kings Chapter 45
    Remember that Brandon traveled from the Riverlands to Kingslanding, Then he was imprisoned. Then Rickard was summoned to court to ransom him. Then they were all executed. This is all before Aerys sent the Raven Demanding Ned's and Roberts head, and Ned even left the Vale.
    Brandon went by horse from River Run so it took him at least a few weeks To get there. If Rickard took a boat from white harbor he's still looking at another three week's because of travel time from Winterfel. So then they are held and executed. Thats a least a month to a month and a half right there. Ned then traveled across the Vale to the sisters and was held there for a time (Remember that) at least a few days then he went on to the North by land NOT by boat so it took him weeks to get home.
    Remember how long it took for Rob to muster his forces? It took weeks just for the Ravens to reach all of the castles in the North. And THEN they had to assemble at Winterfel AND THEN they made their way down south. That's bare minimum another four to six weeks right there. Also remember that the forces don't come in all at once it staggers quite a bit. It took Roberts party a month to head from Kingslanding to the North, an Army would me much much Slower than that.
    By the time they make their way down to river run you would absolutely be hitting the twelve to sixteen weeks time frame. She would definitely be showing. Like we know how Hoster Tully deals with unwanted bastards. It boggles my mind that people think that Catelyn could have gotten away with carry a bastard when Her sister couldn't.
    I know people bring up lady Dustin but what they forget is that the Dustin are beneath the Starks in Rank. Brandon could bang half the country side because he was the heir to the Lord paramount. But the Tullys are Equal to the Starks. Yes they're recent to the Position of Lord's Paramount but it doesn't change the fact that they are equals in the Fuedal society. That's a massive difference.
    Also I know people read into "Follies of love" line Cat has when she is confronting Rob about his marriage but let's be honest she's talking about her Siezing Tyrion because of her love of her son Bran.

    I would have liked for Robb to get at least one POV chapter. We see Catelyn as a strong woman and one of Robb's best war advisors because that is how Catelyn sees herself and we only get her thoughts on the matter. As a result, we are inclined to take her side when she and Robb have their disagreements, and we see Robb as a sexist idiot who should swallow his pride and listen to his mother. Giving Robb a POV would have allowed us to hear his side of the story, and would have given us a different prespective on Catelyn's advice.
