Bran knows what Podrick did to those girls

"Olenna dies as she lived: inflicting sick burns." Best line of this video

I love it how Alt Shift's tone changes from sarcastic to serious when he tries to make sense of the show's mediocre writing with passages from the books.

"Maybe he'll betray Dani and get roasted by her Dragon like she promised." You called it

I've done nothing more than sitting in front of my computer, and refreshing until this video appeared for three days.

"This story just keeps finding fresh new ways to make Theon suffer." 😂😂😂

Sansa: How do you know all this? Bran: The Three-eyed raven taught me. Sansa: I thought you were the Three-eyed raven? Bran: I meant the previous one. He died, and I took his place as the new Three-eyed raven. Sansa: Oh I see. Well that was a quick and easy explaination. Good thing you said that instead of cryptically implying it was "difficult to explain", accomplishing nothing.

it could actually look pretty nice if daenerys had some sort of cool dragon armour

lady olenna tyrell was the baddest bitch in entire westeros also died like a boss

Finally someone noticed jorah new shirt.... lol

Jon had to die on the show in order to free him from the oath he made as a man of the night's watch

"they both suffered visible scars" Tyrion got slashed across the face with a sword Jon get pecked by an overgrown pigion....

the iron bank in GoT is like Switzerland, they speak of righteousness in one front but in reality they deal with any1 to make a profit

Alt Shift's voice in this video pointing out sarcastically the plotholes and bullshittery of the show is so priceless. Miles better than the show itself. Oh boy I can't wait for Winds of Winter, Danny not beig given an armor to mount her dragons makes me scream internally. Ghost being completely neglected makes me acidic. The "they will win with the power of love" makes me scream externally. The Lannisters taking over Highgarden in 2 hours made me want to headbang the table. "Muh they aren't good fighters" assaulting a castle in the top of a mountain would take days, laying siege to it, years. And let's not talk about Euron's sea warping.

Is no one else irritated by Dany demanding that Jon bend the knee? Even Aegon didn't do that. He didn't sit in Dragonstone repeating titles at people. He went out and conquered five kingdoms before approaching the North. Not to mention that in truth, the Targaryens didn't have the Iron Throne taken from them. They lost it in a cesspool of betrayal, torture, incest and paranoia. No, the daughter doesn't bear her father's sins, but that doesn't make her immune from the consequences of his actions. Aerys lost the Seven Kingdoms, so she's lost any right to rule them. Life's a bitch, and then you die.

@ 6:21 "... but in the show, the bank's role is to bankroll Cersei." Way to take the time to make your content super informative , interesting, and also super funny on the sneak tip.

That's Slughorn, not Dumbledore.

Olenna's savagery till the end is what matters the most in this episode.....

I don't see how believing in dragons, which were known to exist only a few generations ago, and which can be seen now, mandates also believing in White Walkers which haven't been seen in thousands and thousands and thousands of years. One does not demand the other.

Alt Shift X gave the writers sooooooo much credit.

Does anybody else feel like Season 7 is extremely underwhelming so far? A lot happened in Episode 3, but the stories feel all cut up and jumbled together, like they've clumsily been cutting secondary story lines to make room for the main ones but that has left the story without a lot of its flavour. All the characters feel out of character, too. Extremely "meh" so far.

Alt Shift X: The best Game Of Thrones content channel!

I'm starting to feel like Hodor was the last great reveal of the show. I wouldn't be surprised if somehow in the remaining 10 episodes or so, the producers of the show just rush us into a human vs whitewalker cgi epic multiepisode finale and don't even brush up on all the more subtle aspects of the show we saw in earlier episodes that were more rooted in the books.

12:20 t "The best advantage of having dragons is that you can scout with them" -- Danny doesn't scout and Euron kills Viserion

Best comment i have seen is "so you could say tyrion built a hoe-door" i am still 😂

12:20 "This is one of the big advantages of having dragons. You can scout with them, find out where enemy armies are." Well, that comment didn't age well.

Jon's change is manifested when he and the wildlings are travelling home

well done, again. shame they've turned it into a highlight reel now and are doing a massive disservice to all these great characters and storylines. Oh well... Guess all good things must be rushed to an end

Exactly, why is Jon being resurrected not a big deal?? How did Sam know that Jon was at Winterfell? If he knew that Jon was stabbed to death by his brothers, and was resurrected, he would investigate that. No one questions Jon for abandoning the Nights Watch except for Ramsey. None of the northern lords ask him about it. Tyrion, Dany also didn't ask him why he left the Watch and became King in the North. Don't know how the show will address this...

15:00 In episode 2, Jaime says to Randyll Tarly that "the other Lords of the reach are looking at" him more than ever. So I think these houses just followed the Tarlys.

Your videos are by far the best most on point in depth ones out there. And your dry humor is great

The point of Jon's resurrection was to free him from his oath to the Night's Watch, allowing him to become King in the North.

Finally! Episode 4 has already leaked, its taken enough will power to stay away from that, i needed this badly.

Tycho Nestoris never says anything about their involvement in the slave trade. He says: 'Slavery has taken a downturn', and thus only agreeing with Cersei's mention of the failing slavery in the East. He tries to make Cersei believe they lost money, thus making them weaker, which is not the case. He is making sure Cersei thinks she has nothing to fear from the Iron Bank, so he can operate freely

Sansa: john!! John: I'm Targaryen now Sansa: 🤐 omg bran!! Bran: 😑 I'm the 3 eyed raven. Sansa: who told you that? Bran: the 3 eyed raven. Sansa: 🤐 omg Arya!!! Arya: I'm no one. Sansa: who told u that? Arya: no one. Bran: u looked nice in your white wedding dress. .. 😐

This is the very only one channel I have push notifications for the new videos. It's great to see how the channel grew so much!

Thank you for remaining pure and not exploring all the leaks and spoilers for viewership

After watching your video I can see lots of plot holes in the show. But I love it. maybe they will notice.

I love your reviews. You don't know how much I love all the HP references and the tone of your voice is the icing on the cake.

So knowledgeable. I wish there was someone like you to explain the real world.

HODOR

Who is the Maid that saw Jaime and Cersei together? She is gorgeous!

16:30 "death of the sand sneks" You can't hide your memes from me.

Great work as always Alt-Shift but I want to touch on some things you said 1: I think that Jon did change from his resurrection but not just in the way people expected. People expected him to go a bit evil or lose contact with reality, become aloof and lose parts of himself like Dondarrion but that's not what happened except Jon did loose a part of himself. He lost his to will to fight, his will to live. When he first woke up after his death Davos had to convince him to go out and "fail again". Here it shows that Jon believed he failed and he had to be convinced to continue. After this Jon continually attempts to give up. He leaves the night watch even though he knew about the white walkers and when he met up with Sansa he refused to try and take back Winterfell from the Boltons even though Winterfell's his home, the one true home he's ever known. He only tried to take back winterfell to save Rickon and when Rickon was called he charged into an enemy army knowing full well that meant certain death. His reason for fighting, saving his brother, was gone and he charged into death. He even tells Melisandre to not bring him back again, showing that if he dies he does not want to live again. Jon did loose a part of himself, his purpose, his reason for living. He only becomes the Jon Snow we know again when he is appointed king in the north, when people show their faith in him to be their leader, the leader to name him the king in the north and to stand against the incoming darkness. People saying that Jon didn't change didn't in my opinon look for the right changes. 2: I think Daenarys arc in this season is to embrace her Targaryen ancestry. Olenna tells her to be a dragon and in the preview for episode 4 she says "enough with the clever plans". She's acting like a lannister instead of a Targaryen. She needs to back to go forward, she needs to be like her ancestor Aegon the conqueror and bring fire and blood. She's so afraid of becoming her father who burned men alive but she's a dragonlord. Every dragonlord who's ever existed has burned men alive. Aegon burned thousands in the field of fire and he probably would have burned traitors alive aswell. People give her shit whenever she gets mad or something, saying that she's Aerys 2:0 but she's doing what every dragonlord before her has done. The reason why Daenarys didn't scout with Drogon was because she hasn't accepted who she is out of fear but that has to change or she will loose. 3: It makes sense that the houses of the reach doesn't follow Olenna because House Tyrell is dead. Mace is dead, Loras is dead and Margaery is dead. Only Olenna is left and Olenna isn't even a Tyrell, she's a Redwyne. So even though The Redwynes might still be loyal every other house has no reason to. House Tyrell as a house is done and in times of war The Tarly's has always been the reach's true leaders. As you said in the previous video, the houses of the reach has always felt that the Tyrells didn't deserve their leadership as they only became wardens of the south because they happened to be in Highgarden. It makes sense that most of the reach would follow Tarly rather than Olenna I know it's a long comment but I hope you read it so some plot points may be cleared up for you

Wasn't Olenna's confess means that Tyrion is innocent? Almost everyone thought it was Tyrion right?

You and your team are CLASS , head and shoulders above the rest , GODS amongst GOT you tube channels , I just wanted to let you know this . The quality and explanations are simply STUNNING , to say I look forward to your videos is an under statement . Thank you Alt Shift X thank you so much from the UK .

Probably one of the few times I've seen an audible sponsorship actually make sense for the channel.

I love all the smooth lines the narrator slides in with subtlety

I hate 'never clicked so fast' comments.

Jon lives his life with no Ygrittes

11:00 "It does take a layer away of his character" Literally :D

As much as I love the show, your videos help to make it more understandable. I can't remember or keep track of all the details, but your videos sum up all the key points with those details. Thank you for the videos!!

"Ice and fire finally meet and they don't get along". No shit. Ice. And. Fire.

I was so surprised I didnt remember Jon was attacked by an eagle. I usually remember everything on the show, then I realised it was The Red Wedding Episode. Just shows how shocking that really was that the rest of the episode was lost to me

I swear: you and Glidus had done this episode such a service in your reviews.

I love how alt shift isn't pulling any punches calling the writers out for the lackluster writing so far this season.

What happened to Davos's wife?

"The Reapers are coming"

Thanks for the free audiobook!! Also a great video as always!

The point of Jon's resurrection, as I understand, was to release him from his Night's Watch vows. He gave his life to the Night's Watch. After hanging Ser Alliser and the others for treason, he says, "My watch has ended." He, "killed the boy, to let the man be born," And his death released him from his vows, allowing him to leave Castle Black, retake Winterfell from the Boltons, and become King in the North. He pledged his life at the Godswood to the Night's Watch. He died. And now his watch has ended.

Bran confirmed Dr. Manhattan.

"Twincest" "died as she lived, inflicting sick burns" the terminology/lyricisim in these videos makes them so enjoyable, keep it up :)

Hey Ol' Shifty, thanks for putting your advertisements at the end of your show. I appreciate that!

Perfect start of my weekend!!

Jon Connington is one my favorite POV characters behind Theon and Tyrion. Tyrion was made a saint in the show, but in the books hes the darkest character; someone who has raped women and ordered the murder of other men, killed Shae willingly rather than self defense, and of course patricide. The show didn't want to show this cause your supposed to root for Tyrion which is easier in the books despite him being a monster cause your in his head, but in the show if you see him commit dark acts you'll just think of him as a villain. These are just some of the differences between the books and the show. Please, read the books. Its a great examination of the characters true inner selves, and what drives them, and what conflicts they have in themselves.

Appreciate some open criticism coming through on this one!

13:55 loved it that Jon brings this up in the new episode in the conversation with missandei

Anyone who watched episode 4 think it would have been a lot better if the ending had a heroic death rather than plot armour saving the day ?

I haven't watched yet but do you explain why Davos is so friendly to Tyrion?

I honestly thought Jamie was gonna behead her when she told him she killed Joffry

You going over the stuff from the books only highlights just how much more intricately thought out and superior they are to the show. The show is great, but the books are on another level. Fans of the show who don't get around to reading the books will be seriously missing out.

"Take a layer" away from his character ??? I can't with you!

If Cersei doesn't care about being seeing with Jaime is because as she said in the show, she's the queen now and she does whatever she wants. But also, she destroyed the faith, so in her mind she killed the gods who frowned upon her relationship. Also in show where characters are separated by huge distances, they do seem to travel a lot more and way faster these days.

Tycho actually never says that they are doing poorly because of the slave trade. He says that the slave trade is doing poorly. He picks his words wisely.

Cracked up when you called the archmaster Dumbledore

The take-down of Highgarden and Casterly Rock (but ESPECIALLY Highgarden) is one of the most stupid and nonsensical rushed things this show has done since Doran's stupid death. Real talk the quality of this show has dipped super hard ever since they moved past the books. Sorry not sorry

Is it possible that Jamie would be Azor Ahai? Kill his lover which is Cersei and fight against white walkers and sacrifice himself for trying to kill the night king with the wild fire?? It's just my imagination above...

Im a huge ASOIAF nerd and watch a shit ton of dumb videos on the subject but i gotta say, you make far and away the best videos i've yet to find. Always stoked to see a new one pop up in my feed. keep up the good work, man:)

I lol'd my ass off when you dropped the "Sick burn" line.

At 6:08, the sketch of the room while you are discussing the iron bank - does that come from a GRRM illustrator? Because the design on the door is very similar to the Masonic logo. And the Templars, who were a Masonic order, pretty much formed the first sort of international bank. I'm wondering if GRRM has based his iron bank on the Templars and if so, whether we will see either the Iron Bank or maybe their enforcers, the Faceless Men, meet the same fate the Templars did.

With all these leaks online, you might as well do your season review next .....

Enjoying the sarcasm applied to the reviewing of the GOT episodes. Very happy I discovered your channel.

So many small but relevant details captured - that "Raegar never liked killing", last words of Jorah's father... Amazing job! Thanks a lot!!!

Dany gave the Unsullied the opportunity to live as free men when she freed them from slavery. They chose to remain in her service and to help her fight for the Iron Throne.

2/10 Didn't call Bran's connection to the weirwood trees the ENTernet.

I love your literate reviews - sardonic, edgy and yet respectful of the material.

The audio books are awesome! Workout and listen, clean your house and listen, etc. I highly recommend them.

I feel like Brans robotic expression towards Sansa is because hes seen the future and knows of a possible betrayal, but her love for his sister creates doubt and his mind is conflicted on how to emote towards her

Every time he mentions the books I feel so guilty for watching this show and not reading them.

Very interesting you mentioned that about the Unsullied still being slaves really when in episode 4 that is brought up about Missande! So intuitive, Dear AltShiftX-man!

"Olenna dies as she lived - inflicting sick burns", that is the best eulogy for Olenna's last moments

Saying that Dany shouldn't be as sceptical about the army of the dead because she has seen dragons is a bit unfair I think. Dragons are a real thing that everyone knows about. It wasn't too long ago that there were actual dragon skulls in the throne room, no? I doubt I could convince people that zombies are real because there are elephants in the world.

Dumbledore and Harry 😂😂👍

Davos said "I don't recognize that accent" to Missandei, which is weird enough itself, as Davos has been everywhere, but when he talked with her about the island, describing it, she got completely silent and had a smirk on her face. I don't know if this means anything, but I found it an interesing reaction. Most people likes to talk about their home, right?

I died when you called Ambrose Dumbledore.

Episode 4 got here faster than this lol

13:28 it is true... The Unsullied were given the choice to leave or fight for Dany as free men... They made the CHOICE to fight for her and to free enslaved people... To fight for freedom, like Tyrion said

"Bran spent his adolescence in a tree with a wizard, so between that and the internet in his head, it's no surprise that he comes off as awkward." Bahahaha I imagine this to be very relatable. Putting it this way, Bran almost seems normal now.

I lost it when he said, "The Reapers are coming". Lmao, that's exactly what I thought about as well.

I feel that this season has way too much deus ex machina momente the grey joy fleet under Euron is in way too many places at once. This series has gone from realistic fantasy to beyond absurdutiy. Example a) why travel all the way up to Dragonstone through the narrow sea and then send the majority of your fleet back the same way to drop off a few nobles. Have any of the show runners seen the map that they blast at us at the beginning of every episode? b) And also how did the unsullied bypass the greyjoy fleet when Theon and Asha (Yara) got so easily surprised and annihilated. If you say it was strategy to allow them that they could think they could take casterly rock why not sink them alongside the rebellious greyjoys as they obviously left at similar/same time from Dragonstone. They were all there in the planning room episode.
