Glad so many of you liked the video!

Only issue: Breaking the Wheel and Stopping it are two very different things. A stopped wheel can turn once again, while a broken one may never do so.

Sansa picking a lock with a cork screw is my highlight of the season.

Episode 6, J’aqen slapped Arya because she WASN’T sincere in hating Clegane. She lied as she no longer truly hates him and J’aqen caught her lie. I thought that was made clear. Great video!

I’m pretty sure Brienne meant for Podrick to steal another horse and not find a wild one lol. Stannis walking and then turning around was really weird though.

The end of Stannis' arc was absolutely anti-climactic. The whole thing was a blatant character assassination. His army being stuck in the snow, the *20 good men* raid, and his sacrificing of Shireen were all rushed. The snowstorm wasn't that bad and The Mannis has survived worse. Ramsay practically has plot armor with him being able to burn Stannis' camp with only 20 men and his eventual defeat of Stannis, it feels like D&D are rooting for Ramsay to beat Stannis. It was very tragic how we didn't get The North Remembers or Stannis' victory against The Ironborn at Deepwood Motte.

The biggest mystery of season 5 is where did the Bolton hounds disappear to while chasing Sansa and Theon. We should all be concerned about these interdimensional hounds roaming around Westeros

the most stupid thing of season 5 is how they ruined Littlefinger character. He is just genius in the books, and the way he just gave sansa to Boltons in the show is just... ugh

Wait, so Theon throws someone from a great height and they die, and right after both him and Sansa throw themselves the same height and are just fine?

The seeds of GOT's inevitable downfall were planted in S5. A Storm of Swords was adapted in two seasons cause was huge and worked. A Feast for Crows & A Dance Of Dragons were essentially one book divided in two parts and their storylines were butcherely adapted in one season. This is what Martin meant when he said the show suddenly stopped following his template.

Some opinions I agree with, others I don't but no point arguing those. My thoughts on a few points: 3:09 Bronn goes along because Jaime takes everything he's earned away from him. 7:03 I read this as Arya not actually hating The Hound despite her saying she does. 8:44 Arya speaking common might make sense as it's a port city with lots of foreign merchants. Presumably it's called "common" because it's used by most people. 8:53 Daenerys says "Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell: they're all just spokes on a wheel. This one's on top, then that one's on top, and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground". I believe stopping/breaking the wheel isn't about stopping is crushing those on the ground, it's about stopping with the 'correct' ruler at the top. Either way, a wheel that is stopped can move again. A wheel that is broken cannot. 11:00 old locks are pretty simple, any piece of metal could open them. Sansa knows Winterfell, she's probably done this before. 13:50 When asked how long "The Long Farewell" takes to take effect, Qyburn says "Difficult to say. Hours, days, it depends on the subject's constitution." Bronn suddenly sucumbs to it when he becomes aroused which suggests to me that something like the heart beating faster might set it off. Myrcella has an emotional moment with Jaime which could have caused it to take effect. I don't think we know how long Ellaria has it on her lips before removing it but her constitution is probably stronger, she may have built up a tolerance to it and she remains calm. As for Jaqen/The Waif, I'm not convinced they're always the same people behind those faces.

The snow kinda forgot that it melted.

There's also the fact that the Kingsguard was sworn to protect Margaery as well, they didn't need to wait for Tommen's order. She also could have ordered them to protect her herself. So the Faith never should have been able to take her.

Aria didn't hate the Hound, that's why she was slapped. She cared for the Hound even if she didn't know it, jaquen Hagar knew

I think Arya was a bit conflicted about her feelings towards Sandor. I guess after all that time they spent together he kind of grew on her.

2:00 Bro she's telling him to steal some, come on. Some of these complains are you just not using your brain.

If you stop the wheel it can start back up again but if you break it, it can't be started back up again because there's no wheel.

After everything they went through together i believe its safe to say that arya was clearly lying to herself when she said she hates the Hound

Whilst i agree about a lot of errors in the later seasons, I think you are falling for the cinema sins trap a little - a written character flaw (e.g hubris, over confidence etc) does NOT make it a writing error. A lot of these "errors" are character flaws not writing ones

Oh, come on- the Brienne ‘ducks into the bushes & comes back out’ was absolutely a highlight!

I would argue that Jorah & Daario finding Dany’s ring in the Dothraki sea is the most absurdly impossible! 😹

Just a detail, but Valyrian steel (at least in the books) is stated to be very powerful and magical and it is specifically said it can indeed cut through armor.

I remember when Season 5 came out I was nervous because I heard they were abandoning the books, but I watched with hope anyway and... the first major red flag was when Barristan died, the whole scene was rushed and predictable. Then it was the Sand Snakes, those goddamn Sand Snakes... then it was Stannis doing a character 180 and burning Shireen, which honestly very nearly made me completely abandon the show. Season 6 felt like a slight improvement, but I still couldn’t get the bad taste out of my mouth, and 6 still had issues of its own. Then 7 and 8 happened and... the show is dead lol

Love these! Can't wait to have the big compilation of all 8 seasons to go through with my friends, haha

I love you for the poison reference to the Emperor's New Groove

Jesus by the time you get to season 8 the video is gonna have to be 3 hours 😭😭😭😭

Only watch season 1-4. Pretend season 5-8 never happened

Small confession: I didn't really mind the "hiding in the crypt" part in The Long Night on paper and in a vacuum, mainly because the Stark corpses are sealed in stone tombs However, Jon already saw the wights King Crimson through hardened wood in Hardholme, so they had no excuse at this point Also, human bodies can't flow like tsunamis, so a well-organized shield wall would've actually held against wights if they followed the laws of physics - this is still worse than hiding behind the actual castle walls and setting the moat on fire + scattering dragonglass caltrops, and the actual formation in the show only had 1/5th of the frontliners use shields, and 1/10th use shields big enough to cover themselves fully

I like to think that at the end on season 4 the show got cancelled and the rest was fan made, gotta comfort myself somehow.

Stannis was my favorite character. It sucks what D and D did to him. Book Stannis would've died for his little princess. I guess GRRM is so heartbroken over the series he will never finish the books.

For me the show died with Season 4, Season 5 only confirmed it was dead. - In season 4 I hated the whole Nightking-thing, and my favourite wildlings, the Thenns, were ruined, and though that was just a little change, both were already boding ill for the northern plotline. Bloodraven was underwhelming, too. And at the end it badly lacked Jaime's most important Tysha-Confression that made Tyrion make the detour on his flight to kill his father in the first place. It was visible already at that point they had stopped taking care about making sense.

Ughhhh face dispenser...who came up with those shennanigans

Season 5 was alright, my first time watching it I don't remember thinking it was much different. Season 6 is when I noticed a marked change.

I know I'm a bit late here but, where did melisandre get the horse to leave Stannis' camp? The guard had just told him all the sell swords had left with all the horses.

George RR Martin has said in an interview that because some people have read the books and some didn't, but DD wanted to appeal to both (and contain suspense) they changed many things, however that leads to problems in the end since the books were foreshadowing something which was later changed in the series. Which is why I believe the show's overall quality went down season by season.

I think at this point, there is a lot of "cherry- picking" of so called misstakes when they really are just bad explained like for example the voting scene at the night watch. I think its not that unusual for those kind of groups to have certain wired traditions.

The Breaking of the Wheel ideology has two definitions: 1. In Daenery's mind, she envisions the wheel as the infighting between the different noble houses for the throne, which she will put an end, by establishing enternal, unchallenged Targaryen rule. 2. Rulership is the duty of a competent leader, NOT a birth right.

So glad i found your channel. These vids are great

Good work man!

Have to quibble about Jaquen hitting Arya when she says she hates the Hound. In the books, there's a point where Sandor Clegane sort of stops being on the list of names she recites every night. She's kind of over him.

breaking the urn for the vote makes sense because it shows everyone that the urn is empty and that all votes ended up beeing counted, I do agree that its a bit of a waste tho especially for people living in such a rural area away from most trader or craftsmen that could replace a vase if u ever ran out

You stretch a lot of these 'errors' to pad out your run time. You're bang on about most, but Arya getting hit for saying she hates the Hound is just a way to show us that she doesn't really hate him, even if she thinks she does.

Jorah did a fantastic dark souls move of rolling to kill the boss 😂

Jaime and Bronn's trip to Dorne (especially them wearing soldier disguises) was so stupid it was like Monty Python and the Holy Grail type schtick.

Every error in season 5 = they did not follow the fucking BOOKS !!!

Season 4 was already the point of no return. Butchering Jaime and Tyrion meant that this was the only logical next step. The worst thing this season did was start to truly fuck over Jon by making him a complete cretin.

If memory serves, that first scene mentioned for episode one starts with Jon kneeling to Stannis atop the wall, in blatant contradiction of Season 4 Jon's refusal to kneel.

You probably hurt Brans legs, stretching so much on some of these. 😂

Bro, DEFINETLY keep up making videos! I expected you to have millions of subscribers, because the editing is so professional and you know the perfect mixture of information and humor. This channel has sooo much potential

I feel like some of these are credible, most are a massive stretch, and some just outright aren't correct

Did anyone think that the big guy who frees Tyrion at 8:31 was going to be Strong Belwas, or even just a shout out to him? I was sad that he never made it into the show.

This was the greatest show I had ever seen. Out of everything D&D did, the worst thing was turning the greatest character in all of TV history (IMO) Tyrion Lannister, into an idiot. The the first 6 seasons, I thought, "If GGRM kills Tyrion, I'm gonna lose my shit", to me thinking in the last series, "Meh...." and "Shut up, Jon!"

I'm loving these error videos

Doran was a prince in title but a King in current American slang. In one afternoon, after having a covert rescue operation by a rival family sprung on him and learning of a murder plot against the innocent member of that powerful rival family under his care (who was also his potential daughter in law) coming from his own extended family, he struck a deal that would avoid any casualties, mend fences with their powerful, royal rivals, connect his house to theirs by marriage, and gain them a seat on the king’s small council. He turned an inter-kingdom incident into a beneficial treaty and a legitimately more peaceful relationship with the family that had been by far the most malignant to and hated by his family/nation during his lifetime and had become the most powerful family in the realm. And as a bonus, their second most competent strategist recently murdered their most competent strategist (who was also the most powerful man on the continent, singlehandedly earning them the power that his children were very liable to fumble) and fucked off across the sea, putting the martells in an exceptional position to gradually seize political power with this deal. But then fucking Ellaria and the fucking sandsnakes just had to fuck it all up

Arya didn't hate sandor though. She put him on her list before their time together. Whipping her for lying that she did hate him made perfect sense.

SWEET! Now do seasons 6, 7 and 8...

One could argue that the common tongue being spoken around the harbour in Braavos makes some sense. Perhaps it's the international language of the sea, like English in our world. Arya definitely should have learned Braavosi and everyone around write have also known it, but I can believe that The Thin Man and other regulars in that area would be fluent in the language of Westeros

While there are certainly many errors in GOT, differences from the books, bad tactical decisions in war/fighting scenes, I feel this video on season 5 is mostly nitpicking and some may not make sense to you but do to others...but as always I like watching GOT stuff so I watched it anyway! :)

4:55 switching back and forth from Season 5 King's Landing and Season 2 King's Landing really shows you how much life they sucked out of the picture

I'm a mite confused as to how the valyrian steel sword cutting through things is an "error". Valyrian steel is hella sharp and extremely hard. It cutting a log and another sword is consistent with everything else we know about it. Now, it being "recently sharpened"? That is definitely an error as Valyrian Steel doesn't need to be sharpened.

The untertitles at 6:00 say „Sam superseeds Brienne…“, which probably still would make more sense than the last 3-4 seasons

If you only stop the wheel, it can start to move again, if you break the wheel, you're dismantling the whole system.

I believe the difference between "stopping the wheel" and "breaking the wheel" is that a broken wheel cannot start turning again - stopping it is potentially only temporary. Also, the whole thing about Arya speaking Common seems to just be a matter of convenience for the sake of the audience. It's one thing to have a few characters say a few lines in a fantasy language for a few scenes - quite another to have a main character require subtitles for a majority of the season.

Another one: Stannis sends Davos to Castle Black so he can get more help to aid Stanis' war, but we just see Davos get sidetrack by the drama happening in Castle Black, with Jon's death and all, while his commander which he was utterly loyal to ask him for his urgent help in a live-and-die battle with clearly running out resources, and instead of getting that help and returning to him, he is still there battling the traitors in Castle Black as his commander and all his army were defeated. He does not even ask any news from Stannis or seem concerned?

Arya WAS lying about hating the Hound. She was in denial about bonding with him while they traveled & admits later when she played again that she had taken him off her list & did & DIDN'T want him dead. That's why Jaquen said she's lying to herself.

08:56 I mean, no. Stopping it would mean it could start again, breaking it would keep it from starting again

Some good points, sure, but A LOT of these is criticizing characters for being less than rational, ambivalent, duplicitous, as humans are, and not in contradiction with their personality. So, do you mean in-universe Tactical Errors, or "Writing" errors? Like, I can totally see Arya as a spoiled brat who never had to worry about wealth or common sense in her life. She's AMBIVALENT about The Hound, after having been rescued by him, which is why, indeed, she gets slapped after claiming to hate him. So the waif is not a perfect avatar of her clerical order's values. Surprise, no clerics are. Daennerys making decisions on spurious and irrational criteria? I'm shocked. The Boltons did not admit to not seeing Stannis's body. They admitted to not seeing who delivered the death blow. Also, Stannis seemed like he was inspecting and strolling through the wall, not going anywhere in particular. Finally, the prophetic, mystic Red Priestess who speaks to flames and shit is in possession of knowledge she couldn't have gathered by natural means? Really?

7:03 - I think this was intentional, as she at this point in the story does not truly hate him anymore.

The worst thing about S5 was what Mannis Baratheon did to Shireen like bruh, the guy is best known for eating rats in besieged Storms End, Stannis would never burn his daughter alive to avoid food shortages and poor weather conditions

I still can’t believe they gave us the masterpiece of hardhomme having Jon snow kill a white walker and the night king staring him down. Then later Jon screams at a ice dragon while arya kills the night king. Like wat lol

Many of the stated points are not mistakes. 😂😂

The worst thing about season 5 was, until watching this video, I honestly forgot what happened in it.

Just to clarify, are you stating that a Valyrian steel sword _shouldn't_ be able to break through a log?

Watching this makes this feel like it's season 6, honestly

I happened to have closed captions on and saw this slipped in, 15:28 I died lol

Arya is struck for saying she hates rhe Hound because she's lieing to herself, when she's actually greatful for what he did for her.

I found season 5 boring as hell, I only liked episodes 8,9 and 10. I wasn't even a book reader yet when this season came out but I understood why book fans were complaining. I started reading the books while waiting for season 8 to air.

Its heavily implied that Jaqen strikes Arya when she says she hates The Hound because she doesnt actually hate him and might feel regret about leaving him to die

Alaria likely has some tolerance to the poison allowing her some prolonged contact but she still needs the antidote.

But Arya didn't hate sandor, she came to respect him after he looked after her. It's why she didn't kill him when she could. It's why she cleaned his wounds.

God Arya’s whole braavos arc is easily top 3 worst for me. Absolutely horrible to slog through knowing it barely has a payoff

Rikkon and Tommen deserved better

Stopping the wheel and breaking the wheel are NOT the same thing. Stopping it could mean that it is temporarily not moving. Breaking the wheel ends it once and for all.

nice analysis

Twenty? TWENTY? Sold!

The idea of Brien's valeryen sword breaking other swords in pieces when striking and piercing armor does make sense. Its always said that valeryan steel is the best steel in the whole world of GOT. So roasting it isn't fair. I can stand behind that but the rest of the season really starts going downhill.

Brienne king slaying was pretty strange

I actually don't dislike Dany's comment to Missandei, and thought it made sense. Missandei's a former slave, and *would* know who would suffer the most if Dany's rule/reign/conquest fails; the former slaves.

I don’t understand the Valyrian steel point? It cut through a log and armour because it’s ultra sharp so what’s the issue?

Pretty good video

Ok I'm convinced now that Dany is severely short-sighted, in a medical sense. She doesn't see a Dothraki horde coming at her, and she doesn't see a fleet "sneaking up" on her

I just realized from rewatching the shows and watching all the vids on the internet, HOW THE HELL DID BRON (not calling him sir!) SURVIVE??? He even told tyrion that he would kill babies for the right price. Plus all the double dealing he did in the end just for self enrichment. He doesnt have a selfless bone in his body!

Ep. 7 I don't think Ramsay knowing this was an error. Didn't Theon tell Ramsay about it? Wasn't that the whole thing he snitched about? Also if we pretend this is a Theon/Reek chapter in the books (I know it isn't as the plot has diverged from the books) it does show how Theon/Reek believes that Ramsay knows everything.

Season 7 & 8 makes this looks like a masterpiece

My biggest issue with the season was the switch towards huge coincidences / deus ex machina endings

It's clear she meant go steal more horses

12:14 she obviously didnt mean to shoot the arrow, but did it accidentally, because Theon pushed her.

i think mostly everything wrong with Bronn is due to the fact that in the Books Sir Ilyn Payne went to Dorne together with Jaime Lannister. There also Jaime talked with Payne about his relationship with Cersei and so on, because of the fact that Payne is mute. In the Show however Bronn accompanied Jaime, due to the fact that the actor of Ilyn Payne got cancer and so could not play him in season 4 and 5. So i forgive the writers for these mistakes.

As hilariously stupid as it was, I might be able to explain the Mycella / Elaria poison situation. Obreyn was known as a master of poison, hence why he was questioned by Tywin regarding the poisoning of King Joffrey. Perhaps he shared some of his wisdom with Elaria and helped her become somewhat immune to it? I say only somewhat since her nose started bleeding as well. Either way, poorly explained by the writers, stupid in execution. Great video, mate!

I think Briane (sorry def butchered) is telling Pod to steal some
