Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan Theories

Family Guy is really set in Hell! Specifically one of the Hells in the  Culture  novel "Surface Detail". The television programme "American Dad!" is also set in one of these Hells, but different to the one Family Guy is set in. Think about it. The characters never age and most would end up institutionalised if they lived in a normal society. It also, perhaps, makes sense that the creators of these Hells would consider early twentieth century North America, Earth, a suitable place to set these Hells. In Surface Detail the Hells are terrible places where the downloaded  personalities of the dead are maintained. It's denizens are routinely raped by demons (one of whom may be Glen Quagmire ) or forced into arbitrary wars. All rapes result in pregnancy (Hell is a pretty horrible place of course), which is reminiscent of certain Family Guy episodes where unexpected or bizarre pregnancies occur.   

Westeros

A few ideas I came up with recently concerned alternative endings to Game of Thrones. One was that Regent Cersei is eaten by Drogon immediately after declaring that dragons now longer exist. Kinda got that one from Alien Three (but is still a good one) Drogon also destroys the Iron Throne in dragon fire. Another is the idea that Aegon's conquest of Westeros helped to spread the Faith of the Seven. These ideas came to me before the final series of "Game of Thrones" was broadcast. I also have the idea that the series ought to be entirely remade as an animated series called "Westeros". It will cover the civil war between the Starks and the Lannisters but also Aegons' conquest and the parallels with Danearys' own attempt to restore Targaryen rule. Kings Landing is occupied by a slowly dwindling group of pilgrims. They follow a minority sect which worships seven aspects of the same god. Mostly male and highly religious, their numbers only increase by...
