    GoT is eating the greatest tub of ice cream you have ever had and then finding a dead rat at the bottom.
  • @Hank..
    im glad Ned's death is appreciated for how shocking it was. When I first saw the episode, I remember thinking, "alright, this is stupid. I know we want the stakes to be high, but how can he possibly get out of this situation without it being super forced?" and then he just... doesn't, and it changed the way I saw the show completely.
  • I think that too often, Charles Dance is given the undisputed title of "Best character performance in GoT", and while I don't deny it's an amazing performance, Mark Addy's short-lived, bombastic, and memorable performance as Robert Baratheon deserves more than an honorable mention; he should be a damned contender. He had 7 episodes to work with, and he made brilliant use out of every second. He could be jovial, brotherly, argumentative, proud, wrathful, sympathetic, vulnerable, pensive and belligerent.

    As a character, he hit more emotional beats than most characters do in the entire show, and did so in less time than most of them had. And Mark Addy nailed every scene of it. GoT's portrayal of Robert Baratheon is one of the most fully realized, well-rounded characters in the show.
  • The thing I love about Blackwater is that, at its core, it's a story about the two most likeable characters in the show trying to kill each other, for completely understandable, completely honourable reasons. It's why Davos treating "last time I was here you killed my son with wildfire" as a bit of banter later on is so fucking insulting.

    "Hodor had remained a fan favourite this far into this series in no small part due to the writer's inability to make him say terrible dialogue."

    I love Glidus
  • @MrTee-hw7mp
    By saying, “why do you think I came all this way?’l in the last episode, Bran exposed himself as a sadistic, twisted, psychopath who sat on crucial information that could’ve saved millions of lives, all so he could become King. All of this despite the fact that he clearly stated he couldn’t be Lord of anything in previous episodes. Seriously, the writing is SOOO bad it had to be intentional.
  • People don't like Ygritte's death? Damn, it definitely makes my top 5. That shot of Jon cradling Ygritte as the camera pans away, the battle continuing on behind them as no one even notices whats happened, gets me every time. And the fact that Olly was the one who killed her, a kid who neither Jon nor the audience can even be mad at considering his established motivation, showcases that nuance the first couple seasons did so well.
  • "Ned's death may be the defining moment of game of thrones, it's either that or..." I love how literally every single person watching this knew what was coming as you said that. Well played.
  • @AbiShoukathAliA
    Red Wedding is so powerful every show started copying it and none reached the level of impact Red Wedding had.
  • @PadChords
    Regarding the Red Wedding, I have to praise the book-reading community for not giving up the game beforehand.
  • @Luke-jo4to
    Going worst to best is such an emotional catharsis. I spent the first 30 minutes of the video wanting to abandon this world and never watch another asoiaf theory video. By the end I wanted to rewatch the first 4 (or maybe 5) seasons and finish the books.
  • @einherjar9364
    "Robert's Rebellion is built on a lie"

    Yeah, or maybe you know, it's built on the fact the King burned the Warden of the North alive, murdered his son, then ordered the heads of the new Warden of the North and the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. Nah, I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.
  • @andreaw2053
    This is like watching the series backwards on fast forward...
  • The way they did Meera will forever scar me. She did so much and they just threw her away.
  • @Alan-xg4yr
    The thing that's incredible about the Red Wedding is how rewatchable it is, i watched it 3 times and it made me shocked everytime, how they made the wedding so fun, so wholesome and heart warming seeing chadmure being happy about his wife and the jokes they told eachother sometimes even make you laugh, Until that door is closed..... And then it turns into an absolute fuckfist of a wedding, you can see how robb got broken from the betrayal, the last scream of caitlyn haunts some of us to this day
  • Im glad actors like Faye Marsay who plays the Waif was able to get another chance to show off her acting chops in Andor. The difference between those two performances really shows you how long of a way actual good writing can go

  • @animal_4826
    "No One" is the episode that snuffed out any remaining hope I had for the show.
    Specifically Arya's storyline. The whole point of the faceless men's training is to erase any personality of the trainee, creating "no one," a person that can become anyone. All of that had been clearly established at that point, so it was extremely fucking baffling when Arya, despite literally blatantly rebelling against the training, is declared to have "become no one" by Jaqen H'gar. What makes it even more insulting is that when she walks out on him (despite apparently succeeding in her "no one" training) he literally just *lets her*. She has intimate knowledge of the inner workings of one of the most powerful and secretive organizations in the world AND HE JUST LETS HER GO ON HER MERRY WAY WITH NO REPRECUSSIONS. What a fucking joke.

    1:33:17 GRRM talked about this scene in an interview once. He said Meereen was supposed to very multicultural and wasn’t meant to come off as this white saviour scene, but the scene was filmed in Morocco, so all the extras were Moroccan.
