I know I'm a little late to this video but I only just watched the last episode. It was pretty captivating and intriguing and that moment towards the end was genuinely shocking and well-executed. Anyway, again, you did a great job summarising the events of the episode and highlighting all the key elements while making connections to GoT and the book material. I'll definitely have to swing back when you talk about HotD next time.

Season 6 fully explains GRRM story but GRRM told D&D write a different ending & not spoil the books. GRRM is repeating Aegon( Jon) conquest (salvation) of Westeros with Rhaenys (Daeny) and Visenya (Tyrion). The Azor Ahai is the Three Heads of the Dragon. Jon is simply the Last Hero ... of three. It was book lore that dragon riders have Valyrian blood and are mostly Targaryen. Dragons can smell what blood you have. Daeny's dragons know the smell of her blood .. and .. anybody related to her. Tyrion visiting the Dragons was the book version of Quentyn martels fatal mistake. Tyrion was not killed ... because he's Daeny's bastard brother. GRRM approved the Season 2 House of Undying visions ... which clearly reveal Daeny will take the throne in winter ... and ... will die North of the Wall (still standing). Daeny is the first Hero of three ... who takes the throne & dies. Again. GRRM told D&D to write a different ending and to not spoil the books. This is why in Season 7 ... nothing made sense ... and Daeny was never going to take the throne in winter and then die north of the wall. D&D knew Daeny is Rhaenys and she supposedly died falling from her dragon hit by a scorpion arrow. Drogon in season 7 was hit by a scorpion arrow and Daeny almost died. This is confirmation GRRM is repeating Aegons conquest of Westeros ... with Jon, Daeny & Tyrion. And Jon marries Sansa to remain King of the North.

I hope they show the dragon fight between Prince Aegon the 2nd and Prince Daemon as described in Fire and Blood Both Dragons have a death battle with Daemons dealing a killer bite to Aemons Dragons neck and Aemons Dragon tears open Daemons dragons belly as a killing blow while both Dragons are clung together falling from the sky Daemon leaps over to Aemons Dragon driving his sword through Aemons patched eye and through his neck. Both Aemon and Daemon die as both Dragons hit the water bentheath hard

Just a bit of friendly advice: you said "I'm not saying here - go watch my other video" eight times that I counted. It may be true, they may be great but it is irritating to watch/listen to, for me at least. Another piece of advice, slow your speech down a bit. I enjoyed your theories just calm a little and perhaps list relevant associated video topics at the end in one go (or just list in the description.) I'm not having a go, just a bit of unsolicited advice. Ignore me at your pleasure.

I'll probably make a separate video on this at some point, but here is my basic understanding: the betrayal for blood was Mirri Maz Duur "killing" Drogo, the betrayal for gold was Jorah giving intel to King's Landing, and the betrayal for love will be Tyrion betraying Dany to save Jaime (as in the show).

consider another angle. Tyrion is acting under Varys' name, and sending ravens to the enemy. But he's not doing it to side with cersei, he's doing it because he wants to destabilize both cersei and dany's army. Why? Because Tyrion is sick of idiots and neurotics sitting on the throne. He wants to sit on the throne and do the job properly, because he'd be the best at it. So Since season 7 episode 2, since dany turned on varys, he's been sending these ravens out. it's why dany keeps failing whenever she takes his advice. He's been rigging this game for 2 seasons. Dany getting ambushed and her dragon getting killed? Tyrion.A dragon can't be outwitted. It has to go. He told euron the perfect conditions for it. Promising bronn highgarden? He would, because he's confident he'll get the throne. A lannister always pays his debts. Really go back and watch. You'll notice loads of stuff. Tyrion is the great mind he's always been. He's just been playing the audience as well as the characters in the show. ONly one person can find him out now - Bran. I think it's gonna be a very interesting couple of episodes.

Not sure it makes sense. Dany would not go for this at all, so it only works if Dany dies and Cersei lives. In which case it is more about a betrayal than just who is first in line.

If this ends up being what is actually going on, and Dany was to find out, she would see this as a complete betrayal by Tyrion. This also would fit as the third treason she will face, as prophesized in the House of the Undying in book 2.

@@profofthrones Personally I'm a lot less hopefully of Keyser Soze Tyrion where his bumblings are a part of some larger plot of his own, and I'm now thinking more that it is a part of his character arc that boils down to "I shouldn't have trusted my family". If that is the case I'll be super pissed because he's been built up as the mind of the show only to be a fool for his family. That would be really shitty. I guess we'll have to see in the later episodes if he has something up his sleeve.

Jon killing Danny as nissa nissa is cliche and predictable..because everybody expects that to happen ....Danny killing Jon as nissa nissa and becomes Azor Ahai is a better and unpredictable option fitting to the Bittersweet ending definition that Georges describes ..You just repeat the same old and demode theory that i have heard since S2 ..Its not going to happen ..instead she is going to be pregnant and he is going to sacrifice himself so she and their baby to defeat the Night King and then to survive..Do you have see that possibility?probably not..your Danny hate makes you blind..Im the only one that sees clearly there.

I'm not saying my theory is definitive, virtually anything could happen in the final season and two books to come. This is just an expression of one of many possibilities, not definitive fact. I'd love if this was subverted further as you suggest. As for Dany hate, she's one of, if not my favorite, characters in the entire series. I've made multiple videos discussing her and her narrative in-depth, something I would never take the time to do if I didn't care about her.

Gray Area broadcast a coversation with Joe Magician, who has the ASOIAF app. According to the app, the House With the Red Door really is in Bravos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5iaorZnqp7Ylp8.html I'm suspicious cuz I think Viserys "lies like a rug" and used Dany as window dressing for his own plan. Other theories propose that Dany is the daughter of Ned and Ashara (platinum blonde hair color per Maekar Targaryen I), so the HWTRD is at Starfall: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7ygm8d-3Mreh4k.html …or that Arthur Dayne was her father, that she was kidnapped or purhased as a slave.
