Thank you for that gift. Merry Christmas to you ladies and may it be filled with joy!

Yay I guessed it! Merry Merry Merry Christmas to the 3 of you and Meowy catmus to the 😻 😻

They say "Meow"! 😸

Merry Christmas!!

By the old gods and the new, may your holidays be happy.

Also the cool themes and imagery of being bound to both the maesters and watch is so much more present in the books

“I became a Maester, and now I took the Black. So how about you take a hint that I don’t want the throne?” 😄

In the books, Aemon was the mad kings uncle, not his brother

@@Bill-en7kwno, in the books he is the Mad Kings Great-Uncle, but in the show he is the Mad Kings Uncle not Brother

​@@AlwaysRightAllNight yea the show deleted a king for some reason in the books aegon the 5th aemons brother was areys grandfather not his father not sure why they did that .

It gives me chills!

Sin duda, las conversaciones de Aemon Targaryen son como los buenos vinos, que mejoran con el tiempo@@MugShotzReacts

Maester Aemon was the son of Maekar, his brother Aegon ruled after him. Aegon was succeeded by Jaheryes, and then Ayers.

I hope we get a Dunk and Egg show one day.

He wants to filch her honey. Gross.

Crazy!!

😂

Love this 😅

Yea she’s a bit…… obtuse

You’d be surprised how much she is actually picking up!!

@@MugShotzReacts She seemed totally off and confused 😁 But if you say so, i am glad she is picking stuff up. 👍 Ashley is definitely on the ball.

they all are naturally funny, but trying to make jokes and talking over the important dialog isn't helping them keep up with the plot - still fun watching their reactions though - good luck the rest of the way ladies!

😏 she’ll figure it out… eventually

Thanks for watching with us!!

I think he was truly shocked that Joffrey went back on his word. But yes, he didn’t confess to save his own life but that of his daughters.

You explained it better and more accurately than I could.

You’re totally right!

Our pleasure! Merry Christmas!!

Yes we are!!

Glad you like them!

You’re so right!

Same to you!

Thank you! You too!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Merry Christmas!!!

Let's us know what you think after you get a chance to watch!!

Thank you so much!

Just add on to it for non-language nerds. Since there are seven gods and septem means 7 in Latin, Martin chose Sept as the name for any "church" dedicated to the Seven Gods. Towns and castles in Westeros have Septs in the same way they had churches and chapels in our world.

Wow I can’t believe I never caught that before. Sept is also seven in French 🤩

Too true!

Merry Christmas!!

Welcome aboard!

Great call!

We will!!

& that’s why we love it 🥰

Merry Christmas!!

@@MugShotzReacts And A Merry Christmas to all of you and your loved ones 🙏🏿

Happy Holidays!!

Thankfully it was just the one episode! Merry Christmas!!

Or Saviour or ur and mine poor souls has been born :D 4 month earlier but hey :D

Happy Holidays!!

Aemons brothers died from unfortunate accidents not any of the blackfaire rebellions

@@thatoneblackdude3333 👍

Dude chill it’s Christmas

@coreydaprince I got a carton of cigarettes and my old man just said "Smoke up, Johnny."

I still consider them SSC 😏

We will! Merry Christmas!!!

Definitely!!

All that practice paid off.

Such a great episode! Thank you!

Goodbye, you won’t be missed 😌

Maybe if the jokes were at least good but honestly it's just guffaw after guffaw from the one on the right laughing at her own jokes

@@sarameira7226 don't underestimate the value of one viewer/subscriber. What she said is true, stuff like this can make or break a channel.

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Christmas to you!!

hehehe 🤭

Thanks for the insight!!

​@@MugShotzReactsyes in the books there's one more king before areys who's named jaeharys 2nd not sure why the show removed him .

Yes we are!!

Merry Christmas!!

So true!!

Glad you enjoy it!

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Definitely their custom, but there's something to be said for his phrasing 😂

his wife should not be paid attention to by anyone... she literally got him killed herself (along with her squealing daughter sansa). Any fool that follows Cersei's advice deserves their fate. Ned followed Varys advice in the end, but the evil lying conniving lanisters broke the deal (because they did not control their child king).

Totally!

Baelor the Blessed! 😇

Same to you!

We have approximate knowledge of many things 🤣

😝

You’re totally right! They haven’t seen Sean Bean’s other demises either though!!

This is actually a valid question. In the books, Varys is described as having a high pitched voice, so the seemingly obvious answer is that the show simply didn't want to compromise the range of the actor. However, it's a little more complicated than that, as Varys' voice in the books is _also_ described as deeper when in private and going "mask off" so to speak. In the books, Varys disguises himself at times and his voice changes, and during both his conversation to Ned in the Black Cells and a later scene, his voice gets deeper all of a sudden. So there's an implication that the feminine, disarming eunuch is just another role he plays to seem harmless at court. The whole point of being a eunuch is that he can't father successors and thus is naturally barred from taking power, so he's not a threat. It _could_ be that the eunuch persona is entirely just a persona. Or more likely, given his mummer background and penchant for disguises, he's simply trained himself to modify his voice to fit a persona for any given situation. His normal dialogue in the books is also much more exaggerated than in the show. He's very giggly, very stereotypically feminine. So it's possible he's making his voice even higher pitched than his normal castrated voice in the books and his real voice is only relatively deeper, not deep.

@@michaelhenry3234 Thank you for that great, detailed background for those of us who haven't read the books (yet)!!!

😆

He was already a maester, but to avoid any factions making intrigue, he then also joined the Night’s Watch. In this way he aimed to reinforce his younger brother Aegon’s (legitimate) claim to the throne. Aegon was the fourth son of a fourth son to a king, and as such was, young, inexperienced in national politics, and a relatively political unknown. Amen was older, better known, and as a Maester, vastly more educated. Nobody, least of all Aegon himself, had ever expected Aegon to become king. He basically grew up as the squire of a poor hedgeknight (that is, a knight who was not in the permanent service of any particular lord). I really wish that the Dunk and Egg books had been adapted for television by HBO.

@@fordhouse8b nah he went with Brytnden Rivers to the wall, ur wrong

@@rookis25 I said nothing about who he went with, or when. When he went to the Wall with Brendan Rivers he was already a Maester. He did not take his Maester’;s wow as a response to being offered the throne, he pledged his services as a Maester to the Nights Watch. There is no contradiction in this. Also, he didn’t “give” the throne to his brother, as one can only give something one already possesses. He did not abdicate the throne in favor of his brother, all he gave up to his brother was any potential claim to the throne. The Grand council then agreed to make Aegon King.

ur wrong bro@@fordhouse8b

​@@rookis25 Per the Wiki of Westeros: "Aemon began training to be a maester when he was 9 or 10 years old, and FINISHED HIS STUDIES WHEN HE WAS 19, during the reign of his uncle King Aerys I (Pycelle was only a baby at the time). The Dunk and Egg short stories begin about two years after Aemon left to train at the Citadel, so while he is alive in that timeframe he does not prominently appear (though his brothers do). When he received his chain of office, Aemon's father asked him to come to King's Landing to serve on his small council, but fearing that this would cause him to clash with the Grand Maester, Aemon chose instead to serve as at Dragonstone. AEMON JOINED THE NIGHT'S WATCH WHEN HE WAS 35, FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER AND SUCCESSION OF AEGON V, meaning that by the time Jon Snow joined the Night's Watch Aemon had been at the Wall for about 65 years.” Per A Wiki of Ice and Fire: Aemon forged his chain and was MADE A MAESTER, FINISHING HIS STUDIES AT THE AGE OF NINETEEN.{REF|AWOIAF|AEMON}} Maester Aemon then served at a lordling's court.[2] After succeeding to the Iron Throne, King Maekar I Targaryen summoned Aemon and his brothers to court. Not wanting to sit on the small council as he felt that would displace the Grand Maester, Aemon chose instead to serve at Dragonstone, the seat of his eldest brother, Prince Daeron, until Daeron died of the pox.[4] A Great Council was called in 233 AC after Maekar's death in the Peake Uprising. Since Prince Aegon was considered by some lords to be "half a peasant, it was suggested that Aemon could be released from his sworn vows and thereby succeed his late father. Aemon quietly refused, however, ceding rule to his younger brother, who became Aegon V.[15] Princess Rhaelle, Aegon's young daughter, referred to Aemon as "Uncle Maester".[1] Night's Watch Maester Aemon in Castle Black, by Amok © "AEMON CHOSE TO GO TO THE WALL AND JOIN THE NIGHT'S WATCH FOR FEAR THAT HE MIGHT BE USED IN A PLOT TO USURP HIS BROTHER, KING AEGON V TARGARYEN. THE KING PROVIDED AEMON WITH AN "HONOR GUARD" (EMPTYING THE DUNGEONS) TO TAKE THE VOWS OF THE WATCH WITH HIM. Among them were Brynden Rivers, who later went on to become Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and many of the Raven's Teeth. Aegon's friend, Ser Duncan the Tall, accompanied the new recruits aboard the Golden Dragon on the way to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea." As you can (hopefully) read, he took his Night’s Watch wows AFTER Aegon was already the king.

😏

So true! It's hard to see these actors as nobodies now!

Sean Bean wasn't yet famous for getting killed. He was killed on screen as Boromir in The Fellowship of the Ring, but one on screen death is hardly a pattern. He had had a long running series, Sharpe's War, in which he was a rough around the edges, plainspoken but heart of gold honourable character... so viewers had plenty of reason to think he'd be the lead for this show. The memes about him always playing characters that die started with Game of Thrones.
