If Jorah is looking for a cure, I don't think he's headed to the wall. Wouldn't he be headed to the Maester training school?
I would rather go to the Red Witch Training Center.

quote:Crasher had how many wives? Ten, conservatively? Call it four pregnant per year, two babies being male. Craster alone was contributing twenty new WW per decade.quote:I assume he means converting the human newborns, i.e. all of Craster's sons.
Wait, how can they create their own through newborns?
Unlikely that Craster is the only person in the Far North paying protection babies to the WW.
IMO, Jorah should start his search near that city of mutants that cause grey scale. These are the cities/settlements that will know the most about it.

quote:Craster didn't have a bunch of "wives", he was impregnating his daughters. He probably started off with one or two wives and then built up to maybe 8-10 at the age that they could get pregnant.quote:Crasher had how many wives? Ten, conservatively?

Either way, the math is more along the lines of this: how many women were at Craster's Keep? It is safe to assume all but one or maybe two of them were born there, so then we can assume the exact same number of males were born there and all of those were either donated or just killed. So we could get to the same number of 20 daughters at the camp and 20 sons who were sacrificed.
That's probably how the transaction started, Craster was originally just taking the boys out to the river and leaving them to die; then one day, a White Walker stumbled upon a crying baby.
Also, I take exception to the idea that there were other wildlings who were paying babies to the WWs. It's not like the White Walkers were putting out fliers or newspaper ads about the going rate for protection. The White Walkers weren't supposed to exist and certainly weren't friendly to any Wildlings they would stumble upon. Mance built up an army to go attack the Nights Watch, not to attack the White Walkers because the White Walkers were still a myth to mainstream Wildlings. And giving up a male heir to the family would be absolutely unheard of in that type of tribal community.
So how inbred are the WW's?
It takes a cold ptang to handle an ice pr**k.
quote:I'll keep with my original theory. Jorah goes to find Quaithe. Check out this video where she talks about sailing past Valyria.
I'm thinking Jorah goes to try and find Quaithe in Qarth for help.
Brienne also has ties to Bear Island (Jorah's home). There's another connection.
He could also run into Theon.
quote:No, Mance built up an army to attack the Nights Watch because he knew that attacking the WW was a suicide mission. He united the tribes (many of which hated each other) because if they did not get south of the wall, they were all going to die.

It was fear of the WW that drove the wildlings south, not some desire to conquer the 7 kingdoms.
What if we've come to the end of Jorah's story. That scene felt more like a good bye.

Agreed
That's fair, but I still stand by my opinion that Craster was a very unique situation and there likely weren't other wildlings doing the same thing.
#nice
Can't remember if it's been discussed or if it was mentioned in the episode, but where is Theon and Yara(sp?) headed with all those ships?
Essos most likely.
(But mostly just away from Euron!)

Supposedly Amanda Peet made an uncredited cameo in the last episode
Y'all think that's her?

That looks nothing like her.
My mistake. I thought her father was a lord on bear island
Good article on the Bran/Hodor time loop. Their take is that time is fixed loop and that Bran was using two powers at the same time (greensight and warg Img) while in the cave.
If you don't want speculation and theories which include book information and a screen grab from the season 6 trailer don't read past the Jack Nicholson "Chinatown" gif.

What was that scene?
Yes, Peet is married to Benioff.

quote:No Bear Island is up off the northwest coast of Westeros. Northwest of Winterfell. Brienne of Tarth is from the island of Tarth, located southwest of King's Landing and East of Storm's End. It is ruled by House Tarth, who are loyal/ or were to the the Baratheon's
