now that GOT is over I watch mystery crime dramas w my wife.I also write about GOT in Arcive Of Our Owwn:)

Jesus Christ she did not have all of those troops first of all she had a 100,00 dorkei correct she had 1:28 8,000 unsullied she did not make no allies with the other kingdoms she did not have that many me😅n and then after that after she fought the dead she had 40,00 dorkei and she had a 4000 unsullied I wish she had that many troops but that's more than the night King the night King at 100,000 she's literally just making up numbers is very annoying do not lie on the Targaryen name that's how many soldiers she then in esso she had 2000 second sons the unsullied and the second sons are already 10,000 that's 110,00 it will equal This

UNLESS! Jaime took the boy and let Cersei think he was dead. So Cersei doesn’t actually know he’s alive

The Great Other is way worse than the Night King, it's Biblical

They are just returning some overdue library books.

Its been a year since the last comment... time to change it

Aegon is the BEST cut from the TV. What a shit character. He’s not even a real T

Soz but sansa has a better arc in tv💀

The Tully lassies are real dumb sluts

Destiny is ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found your channel and so excited to learn more details about ASOIAF lore !! ❤❤

I would want a dragon egg, Jon’s sword, and Danny’s crown or her wig.

It's 4 years later and I'm still sore about it

OMG? It's brilliant. When Ned "inherited" Jon- he's obligated to whatever pact was agreed. But he would have to dishonor his sister to do so. Dude, You still writn?

Sometimes I say "HELLLO MY SWEET SUMMER CHILDREN" while in public, just in hopes I get to meet one of you some day.

Girl, I'm pretty sure yous the hardest working female in showbusiness. Everything you do is soooo good. Thank you

Honestly I have mixed feelings about Alicent in HotD versus Fire and Blood. I do like the depth that was added by making Rhaenyra and Alicent childhood friends, but I feel like it has stolen some of Alicent’s agency by making her a victim. In the books, Alicent is around 19, Rhaenyra is about 8 or 9, and Viserys is significantly younger, being only 27-28. She isn’t some unwilling pawn in her father’s game, but rather a cunning, ruthless, and intelligent woman who marries the king out of her own ambition. It feels like the show has somewhat woobified her, and it irks me to see cunning women made into hapless victims of circumstance. I feel like she would have been 5 times more compelling if they had kept her ambition.

13:40 - 14:15 the fuck? her being in the castle in king's landing and having handmaidens and lemon cakes means all her being prisoner, being taunted, beaten, scared for her life and alienated and simply traumatized means nothing because she should be happy she wasn't hungry? wow, that's so DUMB and offensive

😂❤

The Dragon skulls have the same imagery as the Kings of Winter.

They were waiting for the Mormon missionaries.

Catelyn need no defense she the Queen Karen of the North end of story. Abuse of any children is not justifiable. I don't care about person back story or trauma you don't get to abuse children because your but hurt.

I was getting so sick of all these KZbin bro takes on HotD- and then I stumbled across your channel. I love it! Looooove your perspective on Daemon. He’s not a good person, he’s a great character. Please keep this up for future seasons and the Duncan and Aegon V series!

Prince Doran Martell, the Sand Snakes and all of Dorne was way better in the books. In the TV series Martell is portrayed as not very smart and not strong at all. And the Sand Snakes are one dimension or single minded with their only intentions on killing Lannisters for revenge of the death of Elia and their Uncle so for no real good reason they kill Myrcella by poisoning her. In the books however the Sand Snakes are more "cunning" then the show portrays them and Martell is even smarter or more cunning then the Snakes. In order to bring Dorne back to the Seven Kingdoms (decades or centuries before the books and show- during the time when the seven kingdoms were separate and Targaryens ruled the kingdom) they are allowed to rule themselves autonomously from the rest of the Kingdom (to a certain extent) using their own laws. And under Dorne Laws the eldest child regardless of male or female is the rightful heir to the throne or next in line for succession. So under Dorne Law Myrcella is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne as the older child over Tommen. The Sand Snakes try to kidnap Myrcella to assert her claim to the throne. This would put Lannister against Lannister or try to divide the Lannister family and make Cersei choose a side. If for some odd reason Cersei backed down the Sand Snakes would get what they want and Myrcella would become queen then as a result their nephew (Martell's son) would become king since he was promised to wed Myrcella. However if Cersei refused it would divide her children and give the Sand Snakes an excuse to go to war with the Lannisters. Prince Martell however is more cunning then the Sand Snakes and stops the kidnapping of Myrcella from happening because he knows that Aegon Targaryen is still alive (who is also left out of the tv show). And Martell has a deal to marry his daughter to Aegon which would make his daughter the queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Unfortunately while stopping the kidnapping Myrcella is hit in the face with a battle axe and she ends up with a massive cut across her face that nearly kills her. She recovers and is still alive in the books but with a huge scar that Martell has to find a way of hiding from the Lannisters at least long enough for Aegon to overthrow Tommen and take the Iron Thrown (the books at around that point). All of this including Aegon Targaryen are all cut out of the TV show. Dorne and Martell play a much bigger rule in the politics of the Seven Kingdoms. And bringing the Targaryens back to the kingdom.

Bruhh, your analysis opened my fifth eye (miopia)

Miss you Gray😢

The child of the forest theory is a reach. Foreigners DO have long names, depending on where they are from. Maggy comes from Maegi, which is a title we also see applied to Mirri Maez Duur. A long name, with at least one letter combo unfamiliar to Westeros. There is also Jhalabar Xho, Quhuru Mo, Xhondo, Galazza Galare. These are all names a somewhat racist and xenophobic Cersei might consider too long and too strange to pronounce.

The comparison of Lancel's marriage to Amerei Frey to the Westerling proposal is slightly unfair. Part of it is, yes, the Freys are noble blood, whatever you (or the Lannisters) think of their behavior, and that counts for more, but it's also a measure of how far the Lannisters have fallen by the time of the marriage. Remember, Tywin does not think Walder Frey's second son, Emmon, is worthy of his sister, Genna. And then, they have to lower themselves to accept two more Freys because Tywin the great and powerful was getting his ass kicked around Westeros by Robb Stark & co and so they desperately needed the help of the Freys to save them from defeat. It's not that they scorn the Westerlings that much, but that they have fallen so low that they have to be generous to the despised Freys to retain their help. Also, Kevan's priorities are revealed by the marriage issue. Although he thinks well of Jeyne's father, and NO one thinks well of Gatehouse Ami's father (except maybe Ami herself), Kevan still makes the marriage, because of what Ami brings to the table - lands and a lordship. While Lancel is nominally given Castle Darry as a reward for his and Kevan's service, you can bet that if Kevan had refused to marry Lancel to a Frey Castle Darry would have gone to someone more amenable to Tywin's plans and Kevan & Lancel's rewards would have been less substantial or permanent. Furthermore, Ami's mother was a Darry herself, so Ami brings a lawful claim to the lands, after the Lannisters wiped out the men of the family. Gawen Westerling might have wed a woman of the purest blood in Westeros, but if she didn't come with lands and lordship to pass on to Kevan's grandchildren, he'd have STILL married Lancel to Gatehouse Ami, who does. I also would not characterize the Westerlings as fiercely loyal. Sybelle Spicer-Westerling extracts a heavy price from Tywin before she goes through with the plan. Basically, Sybelle is setting up her options for the best rewards. If Tywin isn't willing to meet her price, she will content herself with her grandchildren inheriting Winterfell, whatever comes of the war. Even if Robb is defeated, she can use her husband's status as bannerman to Casterly Rock to allow Jeyne's son by Robb to retain Winterfell as a loyal ally of the crown and the Lannisters, since he will be raised by the Westerlings, now that those no-good rebel Starks are all dead. On the other hand, Robb does not have the wherewithal to reward the Spicer family as Tywin does, by making her brother lord of a prestigious seat & lands. The things she gets, good marriages guaranteed for her daughters, a Lannister bride for her eldest son & husband's heir and a noble title, castle and lands for her brother, the presumptive current head of House Spicer, these things all contribute towards overcoming the prejudices of lords like Kevan. Her grandchildren will still be descended from that common merchant, but their fathers will be from better families, and in Reynald's case, kin to the Lannisters of Casterly Rock. So their own marriage prospects will be much better. Likewise, her brother, the new Lord Rolph will now have the prestige of his new title to ease his own children's transition into the nobility. We see this principle at work where even Cersei, no friend of the Starks, for whom Littlefinger has done an invaluable service and saved her children's lives and her son's throne, refuses to let him marry Sansa, because of the discrepancy in their birth rank. She does not love Sansa, but Sansa is the daughter of a Lord Paramount, whose ancestors were kings before the dragons, and Littlefinger is like a Spicer. Barely noble, grandson of an immigrant, no matter how much money he has. Simply not qualified to marry into a Great House. Later on, however, being named Lord of Harrenhal, suddenly makes him eligible to marry Lysa Arryn, daughter, widow and mother to Lords Paramount of the Riverlands and Vale of Arryn. Like Castamere, Harrenhal is a ruin and the title brings nothing material with it, except for bills. But the prestige of the honor opens doors to the highest levels of society that were previously closed. Ser Rolph's sons or daughters might not be marrying Lannisters or Tyrells, but Crakehalls and Pipers and Greenfields and Oakhearts are not out of the question. Basically, there are plenty of issues in the existing bargain that motivates Sybelle, I don't think we need to go looking for a very very old but at the same time, oddly specific prophecy. Also, what you are overlooking is the foreshadowed downfall of the Lannisters, especially the ones in close proximity to Riverrun. There is the old trope that when a plan is totally explained beforehand, that's when you know it going to go wrong, and when they don't explain the plan ahead of time, it's so you can watch it unfold as it succeeds. We saw that with Robb's plan against Jaime, and also how he laid out a great plan to retake Moat Cailin from the Ironborn, which of course, he never got to carry out because of the Red Wedding. Well, it's the same thing with Jaime's security precautions around Edmure. Jaime is going on and on about how he wants to be sure the troop escorting the Westerlings and Edmure to the West is large enough to be secure, and is reminding the commander to be sure to not let Edmure or Jeyne escape. And meanwhile, his cousin reported fires on the hills around the area, as if they were being watched. The Blackfish was smuggled out of the castle by Edmure, so he is at large, and a prominent member of the Brotherhood is emplaced in Riverrun. Lady Stoneheart's noose is tightening, the Freys are being winnowed down and the Lannister presence in the Riverlands grows ever weaker. Why, given all that has been said about the remarkable foresight of Maggy the Frog, would she advise her granddaughter to sign up with this sinking ship. If Sybelle Westerling is in the prologue to Winds of Winter, she's not making it out. MAYBE Jeyne's torn garments as a visible sign of her mourning for Robb MIGHT save her, but Lady Stoneheart is called Mother Merciless for a reason, and she's getting ready to spring her baby bro and massacre the people who dared to claim her ancestral home.

Aemond didn't start that fight. All he did was claim a dragon and he got attacked for it. All Aemond did was defend himself and talk a little smack

Like him.

He loves her in his own way. Hes had plenty of opportunities to takw the crown and has always bowed to the true queen. Stop hating😊

Winter ist coming

Potential heir to house stark in the books lol...

In the books he is still alive like me lol...

bro grey voice is just.......ugh.....bro....like damn she just perfect 💙🖤💙🖤

Lady Gray i luved that video about danny Everytime they got daenerys wrong from books to show The picture of Danny, Drogo an Illirio her dress is the same colours as what daemon an Rhaenyra wore at their wedding

Love your vids

For me at least I feel like Sansa was only ever in it for power and towards the end was willing to fight her own family to get it she also used the deaths of thousands of northmen to justify her claim of queen in the north and her only real intention throughout the series was to be queen and I just can’t like a character who solely wants power like with Cersei she was doing it for power but the underlying reason was for family when Sansa basically abandoned her family to rule the north

Stop Saying Old Town listend to 30 seconds- said oldtown 10x, say it once- its in the title screen, this isnt NFL- Tom Brady name being repeated over and over again.

if balerion was the largest targaryen dragon, I wonder how big the dragons are in the possession of the strongest family in valyria since the targaryens are considered to be a weak house before the doom

I could listen to you talk about Westeros lore all day 🔥

Who cares what the show ‘confirmed’?

I Freaking loveeee you!!!!!!!! not you starting the video with I got the rona, like caraxes ☠ I know how much you love him, soooo this hit different 💕

i really love this explanation! well done

Sam ended up being one of the most important characters in the whole thing! It was actually lucky he ended up studying the White Walkers; for everyone. Randall just was a blokey bloke who could not understand a not manly son. I agree it was toxic masculinity in it's purest form! <3 Maybe the warlocks making him bathe in blood made him mentally strong. He was the first person to kill a White Walker in modern times after all!

"It is creepy, but it is just a story. It is not real" Also: every actual nobility in history ever

Dragons exuse me wed ought to roast you alive

0:15 🤭😁

I love that the HotD writers room think the worst thing a person can be is a hypocrite, when human nature itself is hypocritical lol

Hey Grey, you should really get an account account on bluesky. Please!
