  1. The highly elliptical orbit and the non-stabilizing moon scenario could work. If they happened together, and their periods were different, say relative primes, for example. As an example: you could get a highly elliptical orbit that takes 13 years to complete, and a wobble period with a 70 year cycle (stupidly quick, but that makes this scenario less likely), and it takes 227.5 years for stuff to repeat. Yeah, they could figure it out, but realistically, they'd have to be looking for it, or have enough data to support such a claim which would require a "couple" of full cycles. At least 555 years, probably twice or thrice as much for anyone to even begin thinking about that pattern. And given the current state of technology, I highly doubt they'd have records of that, given that everything needs to be hand copied to continue existing after a few decades, and even if it did, why would anyone look for any length pattern? Especially such a big one? So the seasons wouldn't be random, they'd be regular but seem random. One last thing: Geography is freaking amazing. if G R R Martin actually managed to create a semi-stable system where a current is every so often shut down and grows back to life, I'd kill to get my hands on his global map. How on earth would THAT work? Anyways, awesome video, just found you, and I'm planning on staying
