Remember when Ned got stabbed in the leg and walked with a cane for the rest of the season because injuries used to mean something? If the red wedding had happened in season 6 all the Starks would have survived by doing backflips out of the castle and running home to get stitched up.

They put Kit Harrington’s name fifth in the credit because he was still in the episode as a corpse. You know, just like in season 8, but without a script

God I wish they'd just left The Hound alone and let him live the quiet life

The Night King was a fan name for the character and then the writers and media started referring to him as that and then the show just started calling him that with no explanation.

I'm 99% sure Arya stole the plot armor from every dead character prior to this season to use herself

The Waife not checking if Arya died makes perfect sense. She works for a guild of assassins, so she would know that Arya had no chance of surviving.

The Arya scene at least crosses the line of badness into 'unintentionally hilarious', unlike the Kings Landing stuff that's as dull as ditch water.

Arya no longer being into Bionicles is an utter betrayal.

Season 6's running theme is reintroducing characters after a long absence, Bran, Rickon, Osha, The Hound, Edmure, The Blackfish, Beric Dondarrion, Thoros, Razdal Mo Eraz, Benjen Stark only to proceed to do nothing with them or reintroduce them in one scene and kill them off in their second scene. Good foreshadowing for how the series ends! 👏

Tormund calling that blue dude "The Night King" is even weirder. The Night's King was a historical figure from thousands of years ago, some Lord Commander of the Night's Watch who allegedly married a Wight and started doing blood sacrifices or some shit. The Night's King was killed I think, and even if he wasn't, it was thousands of years ago, so assuming it's the same guy (and calling him the slightly wrong name) is just bewildering. It would be like if I saw a Nazi flag in my town and said aloud "oh shit guys I think Ando Hitler is back, alive, and coming to get us!" Actually, that's far too recent! It would be more like if I saw a dude on a horse and was like "Holy shit is that Norman King Willy the Conqueror?!"

The fact that they would name this episode after arguably the greatest monologue in the books just to leave it out should be punishable in some way.

The scenes at Bear Island and Deepwood Motte are early examples of how the writers decided that Sansa was going to be the diplomatic equivalent of a shotgun blast to the face -- I don't think she ever persuades anyone of anything in the final three seasons, and her specialty is to just antagonize whoever she's talking to while looking sour. Partly this is because D&D think this makes her look cool, I guess, but this is a truly ridiculous way to write a character whose strengths are supposed to be people skills and courtesies.

Interesting note. Ian McShane was in the mini-series, Pillars of the Earth, where he played a stone mason hired to build a cathedral. Building churches is a very specific form of type casting..

"The Boltons helped us do it". D&D hate Stannis so much that they even gave his acomplishments to the Boltons.

The Hound killing his brother could've been gold if the killing wasn't about revenge, but instead was about the Hound forgiving and freeing his brother from being a zombie slave.

In isolation I like the scene with Yara and Theon in Meereen, if only because as always Alfie slays with his acting, and it makes sense for him to relapse every now and again into a Reek like state. I can buy the idea of him constantly switching across S6 from being traumatized to acting brave because the one thing that snapped him out of his trance and kept him going initially was his will to save Sansa and get her to safety. The problem starts when the writers somehow decide that despite being malnourished, suffering from abuse and torture, not really caring about himself anymore, clinging to sanity only because of Sansa's presence, not having any resources, being wanted all over the North, insert many other reasons here, Theon suddenly is well, resilient and mentally balanced enough to walk by his lonesome all the way across the dangerous North to find a phantom ship to take him to the Iron Isles for no real reason. The organic sequence of events should have been him going along with the crew to Castle Black where he could then begin his mental and physical recovery. Of course his firsts encounters with Jon would probably be tense and force him to revert into his Reek persona, but we could see him slowly start to heal through interactions with Jon and Sansa (maybe other characters too), and finally getting to talk about the hell he experienced with Ramsay. On top of that, seeing as he knows Ramsay the best, courtesy of having been victimized by him for three seasons straight, he could have provided Jon information on how he operates and how to best manipulate him. He could have had a major role in the defeat of Ramsay, and that way Theon could have gotten some sort of closure. But no, instead Theon was yeeted out of his own subplot, which was then handed solely to Sansa as if she was the only one who suffered under Ramsay's control, as if she was the one who had her identity stolen and destroyed, only to be rebuilt as a dog devoted to its master, and was forced to become Yara's hype man. They writers couldn't even deign to give him a scene where he reacts to the death of Ramsay, the main antagonist of his storyline jfc, or have Yara show an ounce of empathy and try to hear him out.

They really made sansa an idiot and it's infuriating. She spent years being influenced by Cersei, and Littlefinger-and Tyrion, to a certain extent. Why did they do her so dirty 😭

“The script just says Hot Pie in big red letters.” Another incredible pisstake Glimbo.

If this episode was just Ian McShane and Rory McCann busting their chops it would've been an amazing episode

I remember discussing the Arya stabbing scene with actual real people who defended this kind of shit. Arya used to be one of my favourite characters, right up there with Jon and Jaime. She is my favourite POV character besides Jon in the books (I am currently reading A Feast for Crows). She was written like an actual believable person. Maisie Williams was terrific to watch, such a good actress. What D and D did to her character is just unforgivable. Her development from one of the most believable characters to a marvel super hero is a disgrace. I have to this day never watched the rest of season 8 after episode 3. There was a time where I could meet a new person and bring up GoT as a subject and you could connect to that person right away. I miss this time. Thank you Glidus, your videos are extremly entertaining and I rewatch all of them like once a month. Every time you upload you sweeten my day. Thank you!

Everybody starting to call him Night King after Bran did it first could be foreshadowing that Bran is slowly seizing control over all consciousness in Westeros. Well, it could be if the story was actually going in that direction and if Game of Thrones was a good show. I just find the idea intriguing.

Loras wasn't Mace's only son until later in the show, his brothers DID exist offscreen and the writers kinda forgot.

The "he died for us'" line at 21:29 always annoyed me. No one questions it - even though people coming back from the dead is pretty much unheard of and Tormund was the only wildling to see Jon's dead body. The show just starts talking openly about "the Night King" and "the dead are coming" and all this stuff that was mostly thought to be myths in the first few seasons and not one person is like: "um, what?"

“Utter bullshit with much less frequency” should be on the Season 6 blu-ray cover

I love the fact that this series is a total joyride if you have paid attention in the previous episodes. People saying "potatoes", Arya and Brienne talking about Bionicle and Ninjago and so on. Great stuff

You see, Arya actually died, but lady Crane is secretly a red priestess and resurrected her off screen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLINGUS

Arya not dying was foreshadowing for the massive amount of plot armor she has and is going to hold onto in season 8

The fact that septon Meribalds speech wasn't in the show is a tragedy

Just killing Arya off there would've been the perfect setup to show the faceless men as being powerful figures and not just a collection of MacGuffins for her arc

29:47 “I quite like Jaime in this scene, calmly taking charge, asserting his authority, making use of his know-how.” _And_ making use of his no-hand.

I always thought the rose that Marge gave her nan was going to cause nan to call the banners but it just makes her go sit in her sitting room in season 7.

Theon and Varys could’ve spoken to each other about the trauma they had both experienced, I think that would have been an amazing opportunity- but as a side-note, Alfie Allen is really good at portraying trauma and ptsd, like wow.

I do like the idea of Sandor killing Gregor as a mercy killing. He's done with revenge, and is destroying the abomination and putting his brother's soul to rest. A conversation along the road to King's Landing with Arya explaining that was his aim, could have done so much. It could have been presented as one of many conversations they'd had during the weeks of travel But no time, had to wrap everything up in three episodes so King's Landing is only two blocks from Winterfell. That's where the jetpacking really hurts things. If you accept that things still take time and they're just not showing that anymore, then you have to give some indication that things have happened offscreen. If consecutive episodes are supposed to be actually weeks or months apart (e.g. Beyond the Wall & The Dragon and the Wolf) then at least do something with beards, hair, and clothes to give some indication time has passed. One of my favorite lines comes from Stargate SG1, where Teal'c explains to another that forgiveness is really more for the forgiver than the forgiven. Sandor forgiving Gregor doesn't absolve the mountain for what he did, it allows Sandor to move on towards being a better man.

COPYRIGHT CLAIM ARC literally 4 hours after publishing this video. man. i'm so over this. they rejected my dispute. not much i can do now. check my twitter for more info, if you care. haha glidus remembered his account password haha good one. hope you like my stuff, and stuff. i'm gonna go sleep for a couple of weeks. lots of stuff coming from me in 2022. like, you wouldn't believe what i've got planned. okay bye love you.

Gods Alfie deserved all the awards! Even with the failed writing in later seasons, he saved the character & every scene he’s in!

Two years and people are still angry enough to justify such a video. They fucked up really badly, really badly.

Not gonna lie, the copium "Arya is Jaquen H'gar" theory based on gathering a bunch of "hints" throughout the episode and examining the lore of the tv series and the faceless men turning out to be just a bunch of monumental fuckups by the writing staff and Arya actually having the plot armour made me absolutely fucking wheeze.

YES! Your take on Theon is so good! Plus, I love Alfie. I hope he gets more roles in films.

I like to think that the Blackfish faked his death and went to live with House Blackwood and lived happily gruffly ever after 🤗

The funny thing about these pisstakes is that they make me realise how forgettable season 6 was, I didn't remember half these scenes.

I think Brother Ray is just the closest he's had to a friend and had he been given the time would have become even better friends. Had they become much closer, I think the Hound would have cut down the Brotherhood to avenge him. His warpath was mostly his pain that his chance at a real friend was taken.

Duuuuude, if Jon had been treated more as a religious leader, then all of the Azor Ahai stuff could've fit in perfectly, but noooooo. We can't have interesting or nice things for Jonno ever.

I would love to have seen the epic battle between 62 bear islanders and 120000 southerners.

Getting landed is so much better than “getting someone a star” because you can actually visit your land! 😃👍👍

The Hound ending up as a Septon or a Farmer would be much better than what we got with the Mountain fight.

I literally was just checking your account for new vids. Perfectly time.

“ugh why are you still depressed?” Made me spit my water out

Anyone else have something deep awakened in them when Glimby said "those two things are not mutually exclusive, allow me to assure you?" 29:44

When I learned that there was no twist to the Arya stabbening is the moment I completely emotionally checked out of GOT. Before that, I was still hoping they could somehow right the ship. I still stuck it out and watched the rest of GOT, maybe for a sense of sunk cost or maybe out of morbid curiosity. But nothing after this pissed me off to this level again, because I could no longer muster the will to care.

The cold opening with the Hound and Brother Ray can be described as some sort of water ride you'd find in a theme park. Good acting, good cinematography, (Aside from the potato's) , and pretty good lines. However just like any good water slide, it ends with a gigantic splash of "Fuck you, go swim in a river daddy glidus!" I'd say best cold open but its really more of precursor to how bad the rest of the show would go on to be. So artificial...

Amazing videos man. You can really tell how much effort is put into them, keep on making such quality 🤙

Covering spears in human shit was an actual medieval tactic. It was an infection so bad and so rapid they couldn't fix it. The smallest nick was a death sentence. Edit- okay so I just finished feast and either I think far more time had passed in the books than actually has or the time is kinda screwy in westeros, the red wedding happens in storm if memory serves me right yet by the time Jamie takes command over the seige of riverrun less than 9 months have passed given his question to robbs widow, how has it been less than a year since the red wedding? Jamie left from riverrun before the red wedding traveling to kings landing before he and Brianne are set upon by Hoat and his men where they are kept for an undisclosed amount of time, before roose sends Jamie along he turns around to save Brianne from the bear pit, arrives in kings landing AFTER joffery died, tyrions trial happened tywin died and Brianne has traveled a great dead yet by the time Jamie arrives at riverrun and speaks to the westerling girl she's supposed to be so newly pregnant Jamie has to ask if she's pregnant, in fact it's been less than 9 months since the red wedding in general since edmures child hasn't been born yet either. Yet they all know she's pregnant it just doesn't make sense and my head hurts.

Personally I think the John Wick analogy was spot on, especially since they share cast members lol!

Not even gonna mention how great Ian Shane was despite him dissing the show and spoiling Hound's resurrection lol Love these looks back

omg after you pointed out that bran referring the night king as such canonically came out of nowhere, i can’t help but crack up whenever i hear bran say, “HE SAW ME, THE NIGHT KING! HE SAW ME!!” i just think of everyone being like dude where..

"This plot bores me like a tunneling machine." Glidus is brilliant :-)

It doesn't make sense that they all know that the white walker boss is the Night King, but they all probably know of the Night King since he's a part of one of the old stories they all heard as children. So Thormund and all the others would know of the "the Night KIng", what doesn't make sense is that they all just assume that the random white walker guy is him, that one Nights Watch leader from the story that takes place thousands of years ago. The only way it makes sense is if the wildlings version of the story always included the part where "the Night King" became the white walker king.

When we needed him most.... Poppa Glimbo vanished, then the Schwift Nation attacked.

Thanks for continuing to make content for us. Game of Thrones may be long over, but I’m glad I can still see content about my once favorite show.

The description of Ayra's injuries is hillarious! That whole segment is genius and just pure fun to watch!

Let's Go Glidus! And: Let's Go fellow Glimglobs!!!!!

I would have preferred for the hound to just stay either dead or gone.

Last time I was this early The Dragon Shaw was still Game of Thrones

I cant explain how much i look forward to the new pisstakes. Thank you daddy Glidus

Random scenes from early GoT keep appearing in my recommended, and honestly it’s such a bittersweet experience. A memory of what once was, with the heartbreaking knowledge of what it would one day become.

My brother in Christ you have to do No One at some point

I was transported right back to the early 1980s and saw his shoulder-carrying of the log as a direct copy of Arnie in Commando. But then, I’m old.

I'm kind of pissed about the Theon thing too because like. It affected him SO MUCH that it's in the frickin' soundtrack! You can tell! His theme/leitmotif changes when he's "Ramsay's" so much that it nearly becomes Ramsay's leitmotif! It keeps the same progression as Theon's/the Iron Islanders' theme, but takes on the pace and overall mood/rhythm of the Boltons. It's very blatant and it's all just pushed aside! I'm so serious listen to "What is dead may never die", then "Let's play a game", then "Reek". It's so clear what's happening and it's a shame it never went anywhere.

The waif does the star trek shirt straighten and I can unsee it.

I am annoyed that they don't even mention the Manderly's. They couldn't even do a scene where they send a raven and later get a reply. They could've sent Davos to White Harbour and have him talk to Wyman and have him mention a dead son and an imprisoned one and that's why he doesn't help Jon, because he doesn't want more Manderly blood spilt over nothing. Guess this couldn't be done because it took more than 5 brain cells to think of.

Later GoT got written based on Twitter hastags. One of the many reason for the madness.

Even in hindsight its hard to understand why they did some of this shit, like how hard would it have been to have Arya get stabbed in a non vital part of her body.

oh we didn't take the wiki stuff down just because it wasn't worth it - would YOU spend 5 minutes copy-editing episode 6.7's nonsensical recap, when no one reads it anymore? Oh we will gear up for it, but we need to prioritize writing House of the Dragon articles. One day we'll revise the whole thing to reflect on D&D. But consider at the time, no one wanted us to remove such speculation. They were in denial.

Poor Khal Drogo didn't have Lady Crane around to save his ass

I just loved seeing Ian McShane because I recognized his name from Roots: An American miniseries. That said, I did not recognize him by appearance, Brother Ray was a 180 of his character’s aesthetic in Roots

The Hound Jaime,and Bronn were my favs and they screwed them up in the last 3 seasons. They wrecked Jaime's redemption arc and the Valen'Qar prophecy. They turned Bronn into a joke character at the end instead the badass/also reformed mercenary i always saw him as. And they had the perfect oppurtunity to reunite the Hound and Arya early on and fucked that as well. I only have seasons 1-5 on dvdd and the books, thats where the series ends for me.

Imagine a world where Sansa brings Theon to a prison cell, and offering him to get revenge on a malnourished and mutilated Ramsay, thinking revenge would make him whole or something like that. Just as she said that "rape made her strong" and how she got revenge on Ramsay. Only for Theon to break down because just being close to Ramsay, no matter which state he's in triggers Theon's trauma too much. Idk, you could even use that to make Sansa reflect on what she's been through without making it a "yas queen" Girlpower moment but instead a somber one where she reveals to Theon later how she puts on a facade all the time. Just an idea.

Why didn't they just let Arya get barely stabbed and dodged it amazingly. Scene could have been the same for better or worse. Just weird

Seeing the established titles ad is absolutely hilarious

Ayo where the hell is episode 8?!?! GLIDUS WE NEED IT

Khal Drogo never had the makings of a varsity athlete

Thanks for the video glimbus, appreciate your hard work and dedication to the series.

Thank the lord, he has returned to shine a light on my lonely, bleak saturday evening. Keep up the amazing work Glidus!

All the other Starks that died from lesser injuries than Arya now pisses me off.. RIP Robb, Jon the first time, and Rickon.

37:29 Ser Alliser: I’m going into battle and I require your strongest potions

great video, but im still screaming crying and throwing up at the slightest suggestion that anguy would EVER do something like attack a sept and murder its villagers.

Every Glidus video is like a nice little present, every 2 weeks to 7 months. Its great

"He [Dave] is just a dude who fell in love with Jons corpse" Jon Snow-white. 😂

Love how they don't think to give the Giant weapons or a shield or armor and utilize his size with ranged weapons in some way. That battle sucked so hard compared to Blackwater.

Coddling myself by rewatching this until the new pisstake drops.

Loras being heir to Hi-G is also fukin stupid cosidering that Tyrells seemed quite happy to let him join Renly’s kingsguard. You know, the one with no inheritance and shit. And as it happens now its suddenly a large ass problem for mamma Tyrell. And probably for that guy who made Mace-T’s fancy hat in ep5. I love this series btw. Takes me back to places I didnt know I didnt wanna visit.

Happy birthday Glidus! Thanks for bringing me many serotonins over the years.

Very glad that Itachi Uchiha made his long-awaited cameo in this video

In the books the Freys had been threatening the Black Fish for so long that he had stopped caring for Edmure being in danger

62 men -> 120,000 enemy soldiers......among the funniest quips you've ever had (2nd only perhaps to 'potatoes') edit: "other people's sewage in Arya's bloodstream....." - 3rd place

I just absolutely love these videos of yours! Pls continue to make more of them!!

The teamfourstar reference is gold

"Violence bad but if it is to dunk on my worst enemies and I am a fan favorite then it's good no matter how gruesome and cruel that pointless revenge turns out to be."
