I think you should re-titled the video adding something like "from what we know now" because when you usually do these your draw a lot back from the past and the actions to what lead them here and where they could go. I don't know, I would also hate to have never watched the show and come to this video without reading the comments where spoilers always tend to be to see that it is the only warning I could have got from getting spoiled. Thanks for making all the awesome reviews too!

Could you make a theory video about the cutthroat who tried to kill Bran? Because I feel like people have forgotten about it while it's still a mystery. In the show they said it was Littlefinger but how could he have done that?
@themaninthechair4338 5 жыл бұрын
There's still one thing that someone pointed out to me that I now always see. When Catlyn finds out Bran has been climbing again, and he lies to her and says he hasn't, she says 'You always look at your feet when you lie'. And in the crypts under Winterfell, when Robert gets teary-eyed over Lyanna, Ned looks at his feet (like Bran does) and says 'The Targaryens are gone'. It's something small, but maybe it's just because Ned knows the truth about Jon.

Firefist and Esac... nothing in what Adam Dixon said shows that he didn't know Ned was hiding the truth about Jon. He was only pointing out the common characteristic that both Ned and Bran look at their feet when they tell a LIE. When Adam said "maybe it's because Ned knows the truth about Jon" - he was giving his plausible reasoning for why Ned looked at his feet when he said to Robert in the Winterfell crypts "the Targaryens are gone"(an obvious lie). But judging by your responses it seems that it went right over your heads!

The irony of Tyiron's words were that Jon *did* wear it like armor, while Tyrion wielded his identity like a sword. Jon was obviously bothered by his status as a bastard, but he never let that view weigh him down. Any time someone talked down to him for being a bastard, he brushed it aside and stayed true to his motives. Tyrion would actively lash out and wave the idea of being a dwarf/the imp in people's faces an excuse for his actions. That's why it didn't work out for him.

I don't know if they were all named in this episode, but this might be a good time to talk about the ironic names and deaths of the direwolves and their relationship with their owners: Shaggydog: Rickon's whole story was a "shaggy dog story" of no importance or satisfying resolution. Summer: dies, leading to a dangerous winter, and removing Bran's connection to life and energy. Nymeria: Arya goes to a foreign land to find herself, but unlike the wolf or the woman, fails in this new land, and takes back what she learned. Lady: Sansa is robbed of her innocence and dreams of life as a lady. Grey Wind: a sharp, cutting, impressive force, but in the end of minimal consequence. Ghost: Jon, the dead man walking, still lives, only in the shadow (hidden away) of a previous generation. Like Ghost, the Targs have rare shining hair.

Although Alt Shift X don't mention this, Tim Van Patten, the director of this episode (and of the subsequent episode, The Kingsroad, the only episodes of the show he even helmed) did a tremendous job of establishing the look, tone and "voice" of GoT. Kudos to him!
@kevinw712 5 жыл бұрын
It is really interesting to think about the number of times this has happened over the course of TV and movie history, certain writers and filmmakers who ratio-wise didn't have a lot to do with a property by the time it was all over, but because of where they were at the time, they'd have made some indelible decisions. Chris Columbus casting like 80% of the whole Harry Potter universe while only directing 2 of the movies (I remember him saying in some BTS material that initially he had the full intent and hope of directing the entire thing, but it quickly became quite obvious that would probably kill him lol)
@educatedcockroach 5 жыл бұрын
Even more impressive, he was brought in originally to do reshoots on the pilot that HBO hated. So he had to deal with a mutant script that was being quickly rewritten, recasting several key roles (Dany being the biggest one), and having to shoot around the stuff that the showrunners wanted to keep. Dude did a good enough job to get a full episode that was solely his own, and "The Kingsroad" is one of the better ones of that first season. Van Patten also directed a lot of the Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, two other great HBO shows.

Um, no. Ghost is white with red eyes, symbolising the weirwoods and old ways- Jon is the only one of 'Ned's children' to completely follow the old gods at that point, and he is truly loyal to his family, despite his 'bastard' status. Ghost's colouration is a blessing upon Jon, and an acceptance of him as a Northman and a Stark, despite being a Targaryen. 'The Egg is Strong' for that one, as Jon Arryn might have put it. ((Egg, as in Jon's Targ name, geddit?))

But this is where Alt Shift C should have studied how those lines impact Jon as well. Before he heard that, every time someone called him a bastard he would get very pissed off. “Don’t call me a bastard dwarf!” But after that, all these people hate him call him a bastard every chance they get and he doesn’t let him get to him anymore because of those word. “Wear it like armor”. I think the epitome of what Jon learned from those words can be seen when he meets with Ramsay. Ramsay hater being called a bastard as well and lashed out at people who did. He was so proud to be legitimized that when he sees Jon, all he does is call him Bastard to get to his skin. But Jon just takes it and doesn’t let Ramsay get in giants head about his bastard status

pretty sure #3 is dany's descent to madness and Jon's betrayal of her, the writers already deduced who Jon's parents were. The writers knew about the red wedding and walk of shame and tyrion killing tywin. They made up blowing up the sept in lieu of axing the Young griff/Jon connington storyline

Have you ever considered doing an entire series recap, episode by episode? I know you've done some of the later seasons like that, but I found this gem tonight and would absolutely love it if you did the whole series, since you're so good at breaking down episodes and showing things we might have missed, not to mention tying it all to the books for those of us who haven't read them. I know Game of Thrones has kinda sizzled out, so it probably doesn't make sense for you from a financial standpoint, but I certainly would watch every single one you did and there are probably a lot of others that would as well.

Great job digging it up again!)

Theory videos can still be watched, when the series is through and whenever the next book is out - episode reviews have their golden hour just now while we all (okay, well, at least some of us) are re-watching.

Jon Snow's abs HAVE had quite a troubled and complex character arc, haven't they? There's definitely some foreshadowing there that needs to be further investigated, that could end up having a much more profound Impact on both the Night King's so-called, "end game," and the overall, "bittersweet," outcome of the entire story. Not to mention who will finally end up winning the Iron Throne. 👍🤔

I'm glad you bring up the long term and short term ramifications of ned and tywins rule, I've always loved that parallel Tywins Machiavellian rule is great short term, fear works, he's powerful..but as soon as you croak and you don't have a solid replacement, it all crumbles and no one gives a fuck about your house or has a vendetta Ned, short term fumbles in politics, gets him killed. But even after his death the loyalty of his followers is still strong, they gladly give themselves over to his kids to put them back in power, at great risk and even when they're in a weak position Plus, ironically ned pulled one of the sneakiest and slickest political maneuvers successfully in the whole show, by hiding away the heir to the throne Benjen definitely knew, he and lyanna were close and most likely why he joined the watch, regret for his dad and brother getting killed, and he kept it secret she left willingly. But by telling Jon he doesn't know what he's giving up.. definitely more than he lets on

I'm convinced Jon Snow, not Dany is Azor Ahai after seeing the sword Dawn covered in blood at his birth and the camera focus on it. (Sword made from a fallen star, Azor Ahai prophesied to be born under a bleeding star and all that) Though maybe I've just fallen just a red herring
@andrew5500 5 жыл бұрын

I still hope he pushes lightbringer (his bastard sword) through his wifes (danys) heart to ignite it like the original azor ahai did. Dany is too op and doesn't reaaally deserve to live imo she should die for the greater cause
@cbrownjc7633 5 жыл бұрын
Dany is Azor Ahai and Jon is The Prince That Was Promised. Basically, *both* of them *together* are the prophesied "chosen one." And please miss me with that "Dany is too OP" sh*t. Jon came back from the freakin' dead and has plot armor galore and no one calls him OP. If they killed Dany off just to further another character's arc - especially Jon's - then that is the laziest storytelling ever, and frankly goes against what Dany's whole character arc in the books is all about. (Which is frankly why I know the whole Jon thrusting his sword into Dany to set it on fire thing isn't going to happen anyway). Dany's arc isn't about just wanting to be Queen, it's about finding a place she feels safe and "home." Her home is clearly going to be with Jon. And since GRRM has clearly set up them both not only jointly being the hero, but as yin and yang to each other, they will either both live or both die by the end. And if they both die it won't be because one thrusted a sword into the other.
@Augustei 5 жыл бұрын
I always assumed the Prince that was promised and Azor Ahai were both the same prophecy referring to the same person ever since GRRM started using the terms interchanably in interview, I remember he was talking about Melisandre and Stannis and was talking about the details of the AA prophecy (bleeding star, salt and smoke etc) and said she (Mel) thinks Stannis is The Prince that was promised, if your theory is true however I would argue that Dany would be the Prince that was Promised and Jon Azor Ahai in that case since i'm almost 100% certain everything in the prophecy is metaphor and better describes Jon in that case. I do think they will both end up dead however, GRRM said it'd be a bittersweet ending so i'm going to predict they both die saving the world and leave behind an infant to rule over westeros and continue the Targaryen line. As to Jon reigniting lightbringer by stabbing Dany, Imo Lightbringer is also a metaphor for something rather than an actual sword, heck maybe the killing the one you love to ignite it is also a metaphor (lol i'm obviously sold on this whole metaphor thing)
@cbrownjc7633 5 жыл бұрын
@@Augustei Lightbringer is 100% a metaphor, so I think you are on the right track there. There is one theory I've seen that guesses that Lightbringer is actually the dragons (maybe even specifically Drogon), since a blood sacrifice was made to birth them. And Dany did love two of the people that were sacrificed to birth the dragons (her child and Drogo). Maybe that's why Viserion was killed, because the third person sacrificed wasn't someone she loved, but someone she hated/was taking revenge on (the witch). I'm not going to predict myself if Jon and Dany live or die. I fully admit I want them to live, but I'm prepared for them both to die. I won't like it, but I'll accept it. But the way GRRM has paralleled them and their stories from the start, along with the yin and yang iconography he's been giving the both of them all this time (even their coloring - particularly their hair - is yin and yang), I feel very confident that, whatever happens, It'll happen to *both* of them. It won't be an either/or thing, whether it's being the "chosen one", living or dying. It'll be both of them together, whatever it is.
