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?

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!

You forgot - "No Homo".

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.

You can see any of those as unironic and prophetic. For instance: Bran did bring about Summer, Sansa finally became a Lady, and so on…

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!

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)

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.

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

The writers chose her from season 6, wasnt big george. I most likely believe that it was Dany going mad. it would make sense with the house of the undying

3rd shock is Holy Shit!!! they managed to ruin the one of the best shows ever on television

I really appreciate your videos. They are very thoughtful, thorough and intelligent and I thank you for connecting all the intricate dots that are often important yet overlooked. Thank you for taking the time - I watch them regularly and repeatedly

Love the deadpan deliver of the jokes! Also, great videos! Honestly, I felt like I only kept up with the last season of the show so I could watch your videos after.

It is very strange that the Starks whom Robert had not touched are only alive.

9:08 "In the books, he's a much bigger character...." haha well-said

I'm excited to see if all episodes from previous seasons will be covered. I found this channel by accident, but subbed from the first video I watched. Keep up the amazing work :)

Really interesting point about Tyrion's advice to Jon. Similar to Polonius telling Laertes, "Above all else, to thine own self be true."

10:45 I love this style. Really awesome writing that makes the story life like. Makes me thinking of that one great line of literature: "... It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

I choked on my tea when he focused in on the WW's brooch to have an upside down pyramid/illuminati symbol.

i spill my tea when i introduce to jon abs character. didnt expect that.

I watch and like all your videos. You really have style brother! Represent Aussies like a champ. You could literally redo all of the early episodes and everybody would watch them.

I very much love the new strain of humor in in normal videos. You've shown your humor earlier, but usually not in the pure analytical content. Keep it up, a chuckle here and there is always good :) Loved it.

At 1:01, some people might want to know this: the symbology the Walkers do with the corpses, is nowhere mentioned in the books, the symbols are a show-only plot construct.

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 analysis of this episode so crucial to the entire series! I'd love to see more older episodes analysed, but then again I like your theory & character-background videos A LOT, so maybe best use time for any topics left open there first :D (I really liked the Patchface & Sphinx vids... helped me cope with the fact that so much of the cool stuff hidden in the books sadly, yet understandably got dropped in the series. Great job digging it up again!)

On the other hand... 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. AND: I believe we haven't seen a proper analysis of Daenerys' development so far? Any plans?

Thank you for not ruining excellent content with annoying and unnecessary background music. Upvoted and subscribed!

I just love your voice and the way you introduce information, I think I'm addicted to your videos. you're knowledgeable, funny, and have a very special tone. Thank you for you're effort and time.

lol it is funny rewatching this, it gives just as much spoilers as if you added season 8...

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

I was gonna say Azor Ahai needs to be born "amidst salt and smoke" and Jon was not, but now that I think about it... the salt could represent Lyanna's tears, and the smoke could represent Ned's lies about him

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

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.

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

@@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.

Love this format where you explain old episodes and foreshadows..

More of this! This is a great way to catch up on the series before the final season, and really break down and appreciate all the work and detail that went into the show.

Ser Alt Shift of House X, excellent video! will you be pursuing an entire series recap? Or onto new and better video ideas? Keep up the great work, we all cannot wait to see your next video or series.

Three holy shit moments in Game of Thrones: 1. Burning Shireen 2. Hodor origin 3. Jon's parents What about the actual holy shit moments? Like the Red Wedding, Walk of Shame, Tyrion killing Tywin, blowing up the Sept, the non-existent writing in season 8

@frankmerker630

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

@@frankmerker630 Oh, they meant stuff that wasn't in the books yet, but is going to be? If so, are those three things the only 3 events past season 5 that are faithful to the books? If all of that is true I'm really wondering what other stuff Brann is going to do with his powers, and what happens with Patches.

you're doing gods work out here. i've watched, read and listened to GoT for 2 years now, but you still manage to surprise me!

You misunderstood the Tyrion quote about wearing your identity like armor so it can't be used to hurt you. He says that to Jon after Jon takes offense to being called a bastard. Tyrion was talking about confidence and self-respect. If you embrace your damaged identity, insults won't affect you. He didn't literally mean no harm would come to you because of your identity if you embrace it...

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 want more videos from earlier episodes.

Love all your videos. Missed having new ones for a while. Anything you can put up would be awesome!

Great as always. So glad you are back with new content.

2:00 We all know this means you have to pay 2 life or pay 1 mana. People of Westeros dont like to tap lands.

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 love how we get to see even the small role characters' story in the later series, what happened to them etc.

videos of early episodes is one of the only things getting me through the long night until season 8! thank you for this one. any more are appreciated!💗

Great video, man. But, I think we'd all prefer a video on the story arc of Jon's abs rather than some silly little eggs.

“Wearing your identity like armour” isn’t about preventing others from attacking you but from yourself attacking you. It’s about being comfortable in your own skin even as you’re attacked.

great video make more, i didnt see all of the parallels by myself and this helped me

Recently found ur channel and wish I found it when the series was on but I love watching old vids like this and remember what it was like to be hyped about the upcoming seasons before it all went sideways bc they rushed it. But that was the best episode break down ever.

Awesome vid, just found your channel through this, really well put together.
