When talking to her granddaughter Margery, Lady Elena Tyrell tells her she was meant to marry 'some Targaryen'. I always wondered if it was Maester Aemon.

I love the intro because it reminds me of when GoT actually had good dialogue

“I didn't know until this day that it was Bloodraven all along.” -Don Vito Corleone

No one was more kinder nor gentler than him He was the blood of dragon Maester Aemon, you won't find a single hater of this character

Also in the books when Maester Aemon was lying sick and dying, he said to Sam that cold preserve and leaving the wall affected his health. Perhaps he sailed too far away from Bloodraven for his magic to keep 'preserving' Aemon's life?

When Maester Aemon lay sick, he called Jon Snow “Egg” a few times. They just thought it was dementia!

The fact that John wasn’t made king after everything still makes me mad

Having read the books I’m impressed that you have taken the time to pick out these clues/hint/foreshadowing. That’s a lot of work. 😀

When Jon first arrived at the wall, Aemon was saying ''Aegon... little Aegon'' And that was the moment I knew Jon was Targarian Aemon knew who Jon was right from the start

Glad this channel is keeping GOT alive!

Wow, this is why this show is loved. Such videos will keep coming, and things will keep being so much fun always, as I hope.

Love this channel! And def one of the best accents/voices on youtube!

I have thought about this forever. Reading the books, knowing they served together for all those years, there had to have been many very interesting conversations. I follow many ASOIAF channels. Of all the deep dippers, I don't recall anyone else even bringing this up except you.

Oh so awesome!! I loved it, can't wait to hear more, thank you!!! Take care and stay safe, peace and love to you all!!!

Well done to work that out . It really makes sense when you lay it all out like that .

Your season 8 rewrite was absolutely brilliant. Season 9 is also going incredibly well. I'm deeply hooked with the story progression and curious about how things will unfold. My only objection being the irregular release of the s09 episodes.

Dayne's Dawn is Lightbringer imo. Ticks all the boxes- forged from a comet by people who look very similar to Targaryens, so of a race somewhere in that region. The sword is pale like milkglass, pale like the White Walkers' ice swords, but Dawn is of fire. It has been forged in fire of dying star. It's the only sword that saw the previous Long Night. Furthermore, the name Dawn. Dawn comes after night. Dawn brings light. Even from the literal pov, the fact that Dawn has been described and attributed so much importance to, more than any other sword in ASOIAF, can't be a coincidence. Dawn is Lightbringer.

Bloodraven continued to live because he merged with the weirwood. Once Maester Aemon left the wall (and therefore probably got out of Bloodraven‘s influence) he fell sick and died. Makes you think if Bloodraven somehow had a hand in keeping him alive through magic since 104 years in such a harsh environment is quite noteworthy. Also there was a scene in the books (don’t remember if it was in the show as well) where Maester Aemon quoted the "the dragon has three heads" line. If he knew Jon was a Targaryen as well, they would be the two other heads for Daenerys.

There has been some crap written about G.O.T but this little clip made sense, was entertaining and fun to watch, while opening my eyes to things I have watched, but not seen! Post more please 😊

This video was very good and I thank you for it. There is so much rehashed, same old stuff being put out just because. It was good to think about this.

its really a good thing that people like u had kept this got memories alive

Always love your commentary.

I’m dying for the next episode in Season 9. Can’t wait to see what happens to my Queen Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion, Brianne, and Pod! Hope you are doing well TT❤️

Nice use of Beyond the Black Rainbow sound track! And awesome video as usual!

I LOVE your videos. You are a very in depth thinker. l love your offerings, great insights and ideas. Can't wait for the next episode of Season 9. :)

That opening literally explains the whole backstory of the throne. I love it🥰.

Thank you for that, it came at just the right time for me, as I’ve actually just read that part in the books. Your explanation absolutely makes sense to me. By the way, you most probably can guess now that I’ve watched the show before reading the books 😉

Thank you for all your research and information 🙏 ❤️. It is so helpful to me. Since my brain is like a sieve , your explanations are always appreciated. You really help me remember, what was written about the characters in the book.

my dude im freaking dying for the rest of your season 9!!!!

I could watch you’re videos all day every day. I wish I had time to read all the books but like many others family, job ect… makes it hard. Thanks for the work you put into this 👍🏽🙏🏽🔥

Hey where have you been? Good to see you back!! Eagerly awaiting next episode of season 9

Great video !!!

Always amazed by your analysis.

I wish they would do season eight over. They could’ve done so much more with it.

Great video! But.....please continue season 9. Your doing an impressive job ser!

We need the next episode of season 9!!! Im dying over here... Positive note you're still beating GRRM pace.

When Jon died, that was the perfect time for him to hear of his parentage from Ned himself. YOu know the usual "I will tell you of your past, but your time has not come, Lord of Light wants to send you back) trope. Ithink it would have led well into Jon's character progression from Lord Commander of the NIghts Watch to his building of forces to take backhis homeland. I also think the war to recalim house Stark should have gone on longer. Maybe even destroy a Lanister army tryijng to come North to cull them. I can just see that scene when Cersy says to him, Who in the hell are you that you think you might have a right torule? YOu are a bastard you have no Right to the Iron Throne!" to which Jon gets to unleash his Russel Crow in Gladiator "I am Aegon Maximus Targaryyean, Commander of the Armies of the NOrth, Genreal of the Barbarian Legions. Son fo Murdered Parents,, Cousin to more murdered cousins, Owner of a one eared Doggo, and Nephew to a fine piece of a$$, and I will ahve my vengeance in this life or the next) Cercy: "Ugh.... You bang your family members" (Jaime is heard to the side uncomfortably coughing)

My man as much as I enjoy the rest of the videos, it's killing me waiting for the next episode, PLEASE release it soon 🔥❤️

Great video

Very insightful thank you.

So good!

Im Always saying the words along out loud as Little Finger speaks them during your videos Intro’s 😆

This is amazing! Thank you for making this video! I love everything GOT lore, especially Jon Snow!

Talking Thrones thank you so much for this interesting information you made alawys good video and not predictions.

HBO SHOULD OF HIRE YOU AS A WRITER!!YOUR TALENTED MANE

I missed these videos. Nice!

Please remember that The Three Eyed Crow is what Bran called him. He was actually unfamiliar with the term, which means either he doesn't know how he appears to people in visions or it wasn't him.

i miss the times when i loved GoT❤️

I wish I could like this video over and over again ❤️❤️ thank you

Aemon, in the end, believed Daenarys to be the Prince that was Promised/Azor Ahai reborn, not Jon. So much so that Aemon wanted to go to her and guide her, while warning Jon that Stannis specifically isn't Azor Ahai via the Jade Compendium. Also in the books, before learning about Dany, Aemon was convinced he was the last living Targaryen. Aemon attributes his long life to being at the Wall and the power or magic there; Melisandre backs this claim by specifically calling the Wall a "hinge of the world" where her power is stronger there than even when she was in Asshai. Further, Aemon made a point of showing that he didn't care who became Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in the books, stating firmly that he wouldn't favor one contender over the other. Sorry to sound harsh, but almost everything you cite as support for this fan theory comes from the show adaptation (which got MANY things wrong), not the actual books. It is a fun thought, but the only way it works is to ignore so much stuff from the novels.

Amazing theory, and most people don’t think Aemon knew who Jon Snow was, I always felt he did !

I still believe that Meera Reed is Jon's twin sister. Howland Reed was at the tower of joy that day and witnessed what took place. He was ever loyal to the Starks and would have obeyed Ned's command to raise one of Lyanna's babies under a false name, as he did with Jon. Meera was always different than Jojen, who was tiny, sickly, and resembled the children of the forest. Meera, however, was always strong, great with weapons, and has Stark features. I know the show didn't go that route (and completely abandoned her story line), but I believe this is the truth in GRRM's storyline. What do you guys think?

One of my favorite characters💕

I liked this analysis, but it was all over the place. You didn't include the years-long research that Maester Aemon did because of his brother's prophetic dragon dreams and how all of it came to conclusion, and how significant Daenerys is and her dragons to the storyline. This wasn't just about Jon and the fight in the north. This is also about unlocking Targaryen mysteries. At Maester Aemon's deathbed, he was CONVINCED that Daenerys is the Prince that was promised, "Dragon" being a gender neutral term in Valyrian.

I think it's interesting now with dance of dragons hearing the perspective that they conquered westerose and must maintain leadership specifically to help humanity survive the dark night. They needed family at the wall and beyond.

I guess ive always known that Meister Amon knew who John was and the number 1 reason Eddard let him go to the wall! Because he will be watched over by his family. Dan and Dave messed up so much when you realize the tie in with Meister Ammon and John Snow as well as Blood Raven.

Yup I always knew there was more to Aemon story!

these theory videos do my head in

Talk Time!!!

There are probably a lot more people who knew. At a minimum, Rhaegar would have arranged for a midwife and a wet nurse. Also supplies would have been needed. House Dayne was probably where this came from and probably explains the Willa rumors

My new favourite ASOIAF theory

I have my hands all four the five books and I have started the first book and love it its exactly like season 1

I'm really waiting for more of season 9

14:03 what he does mean is that the dragon king always needs his or her council within the family, you could see in the new show house of dragon. An alone Targeryen in the world will lead to crazy act, even king has small council but they are pack just like wolf, they tend to listen to one another.

I love how you know the history and bring it to light. Unfortunately the writers of GOT did such a bad job in season 8 that they ruined a wonderful adventure! I don’t care what anyone says! All that history and all the drama surrounding it only for Snow to get totally screwed and and a Stark ends up being King? I still am thoroughly pissed off at season 8. Ugh 😩 how dare they do that!!!

I've been reading (audiobook) A Song of Ice and Fire, the books are great!!! Your deep dives are wonderful! I really wish they would have left in The Story of the Smiling Tree Knight.

The sword that Stannis used was not enchanted to flame by Melisandre. It was a parlor trick. This was made clear in the books, some flaming sword illusion practiced by a monk for show in tournaments. Melisandre believed, because she saw what she wanted to see.

Been reading the books lately, I stay away from the show now unfortunately. Still enjoy the early seasons and your analysis.

Rhaegar wasn’t a swordsman, then Summerhall tragedy happened and he received some sort of message either from that or from reading something about the prince that was promised- he says it seems I must become a knight to I think Arthur Dayne of the master at arms who trains him

The intro is so dope

Dang this was giving me chills for some reason. Why or should I say how did I not put this together

It was a prophecy why they left. And a Dream that created Ice and Fire. You find this out in House of Dragon so.... awesome theory

I appreciate the video of course. But with subtitles it is so much easier 🙈

I need to reread these. I don’t remember half of this and I have read them a few times

Cool video and fun premise, not sure Jon's real name is going to turn out to be Egg (Aegon) in the books tho

The prince that was promised? "The language misled us all for a thousand years. Daenerys is the one, born amidst of salt and smoke." - Maester Aemon Targaryen

I didn't realize the 3 eyed raven was Brynden Rivers. I just finished "Dunk and Egg" and his character played a big part.

If i go with every episode of talking thrones...its certain that one day i can write Secrets of Song of ice and fire😁😁

He definetly knew more than he was letting on at first

"A story we agreed to tell each other over and over until we forget it's a lie"

we need to have a tv series about master aemon

VERY plausible!

I think this is all quite a reach. Regardless, the casting decisions for GOT are probably the best of any hit TV show adapted from or based on a series of popular books. Aemon being one of the best.

blood raven is the son of aegon 4 isnt it?

Is there another one of your episodes coming out?

Hold the door hold the door to hodor was one of the best twists ever. Like damnnnnn

3:18 Aegon Targaryan, the *fourth* of his name

I would love to see a GOT prequal built around Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark

Was going to start dinner, but it can wait until the video is over 😂

I really hope HBO decides to do a dunk n egg show and roberts rebellion. We would get to see bloodraven in his prime and master Aemon young. And to see Raegar. I know GRRM said there’s no reason to do roberts rebellion because we’ll know everything that happened by the end of the books. I disagree. We know everything about the dance in detail because it’s written in fire n blood. Yet they’re still making HOTD. It’s different to see the story come to life on screen. So I’m hopeful we will see these shows.

The thing I've always wondered most about Aemon, given how old and wise he was, did he either know or have a hunch who Jon really was?

What do you call it when you binge Preston Jacobs, indeepgeek, GrayArea, the Order of the Green Hand, Quinn's Ideas, Schwifty, LML, Glidus, and Talking Thrones in attempts to figure out how GRRM will actually end the books? Cause the answer has gotta be there somewhere, right? I might title it 'The Existence of the Unending Tale in the Imagination of the Fan Terrified of Asking GRRM Anything Lest He Never Finish' By Alleras D'Nas

Drives me crazy how they didn't do a good job IRL on the swords. They could have made Ice a Damascus that had black swirls to make it like the book. Stannis' sword could have had a case hardened color finish after pulling it out of the fire etc.

Bro please continue season 9 episodes!!!!!!

Good video🎥👍 🔥🐲 more

Mad Props to Howland Reed for being a loyal confidant.

"His sword glowed red and orange" as what happens to metal when it gets hot...

when is the next episode off your own season coming?

Aemon was a pawn to blood Raven seen more true now..

3:20 wasn't that king aegon 4th
