Game of Thrones S6E04 Explained

[@MikeKorzemba]

This is literally the perfect after show for non-casual fans of the series who want to discuss fan theories and the big picture. I get that After The Thrones is a show designed to explain what happened to casual fans of the TV show, but I wish HBO would throw some money at Alt Shift X to produce an after show like this. His videos are top notch.

[@charchar2949]

+Mike Korzemba You should watch Thronecast! It's the UK version. Presenter knows what she's going on about most of the time, they always have an old actor on, Robert Baratheon, Lysa Arryn (Even the guy who teaches them how to sword fight, he brought on the actual swords, Was the best one yet) Oh and they have the actual Iron Throne!

[@SilverSon87]

+Mike Korzemba There's like 4 levels of GOT fans: 1. Stupid Casual fans who hardly know anything and bandwagon the show. 2. People who only watch the show and know nothing about the books, but still a lot about the show. 3. Non casuals who are knowledgeable about the show, and know some aspects about the book and certain theories. 4. Hardcore fans who know literally everything about the books and might hate the show.

[@SimpleVisionVideos]

+Mike Korzemba I'm a casual fan in the sense that I only watch the show and then these videos, without reading the books, It's actually super helpful and sums up things I didn't know pretty well

[@OfAllThingzFooty]

+RiceDuke im currently on a feast for crows. i know the theories and all that. but i also enjoy the show. where does that leave me?

[@SilverSon87]

slice n' dice Between 4 and 5.

[@GrayScoutEpsilon]

Brilliant analysis again Shift! "One girl, two eunuchs and a Dwarf!" "Super Dario Brothers." Love it. Your video editing flows so nicely with your narration as well. Thumbs up!

[@AltShiftX]

+Jason Rattray Thanks Jason (:

[@fatdom18]

+Alt Shift X Great video mate! One thing - fairly sure we're just meant to assume Jon told Sansa off screen about being murdered and coming back as doesn't he mention something about what happened whilst they're talking? I may be wrong as only watched it once but seem to remember him or her saying something that insinuated she knew ?

[@mrawesooommme]

+Dom Luck we didn't see jon say it directly to sansa but i think its pretty obvious that he told her as he told her about having to hang ollie so presumably the story which led up to that as well, its also the sort of thing you'd tell your sister aha

[@TheMeanMongoose]

+Jason Rattray IT'SA ME DAARIOOO "Nice of the Khaleesi to invite us for a cook-out, eh, Jorah? "I hope she made lotsa' Khalburgers!"

[@lovelyladycarter3687]

+mrawesooommme I agree, I felt they both spoke about what's happened since they've parted ways

[@doublejumpa]

You are by far the best and most knowledgeable in this community. You don't take jabs at the show like some "mighty" book readers. Thanks for the great work and keep it up!

[@Perceptionreflection]

+Callum Abbott I think that's part bad comedy and part him personally hating the show's writing style. I much prefer his theories, Q&As, and book club.

[@EricKlien]

+Jack Napier You can catch positive reviews at _What the Flick?!_ and _AfterBuzz_. I think it is lame when people attack the show which is better than ever this season.

[@murtaugh3921]

+DoubleJumpa I like it when people have and express their own opinions(even negative) on the show and don't just it praise because I'm a fan of it and that's what I want to hear. I like hearing opposing viewpoints in general because often times it leads to a new understanding of or way of thinking about a given subject or idea. Circlejerks are the worst.

[@RustCohle072]

+DoubleJumpa I wouldn't say by far the most knowledgeable, Rawrist is too

[@doublejumpa]

+Murtaugh You can express your opinion in any way you want, be it negative or positive. But shitting on the show for the sake of shitting on it is pathetic, and acting as if the people who watch the show only are somehow inferior to you is also pathetic.

[@saulcir6338]

2:48 1 girl, 2 Eunuchs and a Dwarf. Had me laughing so fucking hard.

[@clarity_art]

+Saul Cir It sounds like a show on TLC Westeros XD

[@maryhales4595]

+Saul Cir Also the "Super Daario Brothers" XD

[@saulcir6338]

Mary Hales Yea the daario brothers are rushing off to save the princes- er queen XD.

[@maryhales4595]

+Saul Cir Close enough, right?

[@DonarKanal]

+Saul Cir Rule 34

[@orioni]

Good joke there, with the "Super Dario Brother." :) That made me smile.

[@alianasirahahmad444]

It's a well known common nick for daario by the got fanbase. Still pretty funny though especially paired with the 'jorah the explorer' nick.

[@AintItJay187]

[@Yakhashe]

it's kinda sad that Osha dies so abruptly... it's like "oh nice to have you back!.. oh..."

[@denisl2760]

+Yakhashe Glad she's dead, her whole shtick was getting tired.

[@LilBlAcK76]

+Yakhashe yup i miss her, that hot wildling bush

[@666melodeath666]

+Yakhashe Wasted Character and Actress but better she dies now then becoming Ramseys new rape toy

[@denisl2760]

Nino A she was far from hot

[@OdachiTetsunoko]

+Yakhashe Was a good scene still. Osha was a good character and she died fighting. Shes also been the only one so far to not have been intimidated by Ramsay which as AltShiftX mentioned was pretty fucking badass.

[@tapiooftapiola517]

That Tormund/Brienne scene was gold. Also Pycelle leaving a room slowly.

[@ironmaiden5901]

+Sabeth Nadiri And that smirk he gave to Cersei just before he left

[@zarq7090]

I thought Jon already told Sansa about his death? During their talk he said "I can't stay here, not after what happened" or something along those lines

[@tahmidgury4291]

I was gonna say the same thing But not as good as yours

[@TNT993]

+Zar Q Samething came to my mind when he mentioned that in the video.

[@runawaypony429]

Yeah, I'm sure they discussed everything that they went through off-screen; not like we need to see it. And as interesting as it would be to see Sansa react to the resurrection, it really doesn't further the plot all that much.

[@Canniman]

+Zar Q I assumed he told her that his own Men betrayed him, but didn't go into details about it.

[@petabdoubleg]

+Zar Q I also kind of assumed the "not after what happened" was in reference to Hardhome? I was wondering if he had told Sansa about that as well

[@DrdrGames]

Jon's Death was already explained to Sansa off screen. There's a time where Jon and Sansa were taking and Jon mentions how he couldn't stay at the wall "after what happened", and Sansa continues the conversation with obvious hints that it was explained to her off screen.

[@EarthcraftLP]

What if the secret from Tommen wasnt what you thought of. What if the Sparrow told him that the tyrells were involved in the murder of his brother and now Cersei plans a plot against both her enemies: the Tyrells and the Sparrow.

[@louiswilliamson2191]

+MadChansey Now that is a thought

[@lilcaddie7826]

My own dumb theory is that Margery is pregnant... which would explain why Cersei is so eager to get her out either to kill her or save the last true Lannister heir. but it's a stretch

[@EarthcraftLP]

+No-Limitation Yes but I think Margery would tell Loras...but I'm not sure

[@urorazbojnik5678]

Owwww shiiiiiiiiit man I think you might be onto something......and Cercei's army will let Tyrell's army pass to the stairs and then ambush them and kill them all, it's a perfect setup, oh man :D

[@Takemysenf]

+MadChansey Yeah. Cersei was too smug, it was quite obvious, that she plans sth "great".

[@Maddiemoo246]

It's implied that Sansa and Jon already talked about what happened to both of them outside of the scenes, but I honestly think it would have been better if they had included that.

[@vor78]

+Maddiemoo246 If I had to guess, they'll very likely directly address the main points of that off-screen conversation as the season wears on.

[@murtaugh3921]

+Maddiemoo246 Where is it implied exactly?

[@an.7039]

Agree.

[@CanYouHackett97]

+Murtaugh I'm pretty sure at some point he says he died, or at least refers to it and Sansa doesn't seem to be shocked or anything by it.

[@paul1720]

+Maddiemoo246 Dude, time is running out to get everything covered. The last thing we need is 10 mins of exposition we already know about, with amazed looks on eachother's faces.

[@kazenokize2]

Quality, clean editing, great analysis. You're good at this shit man.

[@AltShiftX]

+kazenokize2 Cheers mate! That's what I go for.

[@starhunter9085]

Agreed, Alt shift X you're awesome bro

[@cyberfood1352]

Alt Shift X hope u using Ads... you could do more these videos and it will pay you well...

[@Soxiando]

+Cyber FOOD1 or we could all contribute 1-3 $ a month to him using Patreon ... that should be enough

[@moazdefasi8897]

+Alt Shift X try to slow down the way you talk

[@JapandaSam]

In the show Sansa asked Jon, "Where will you go?". Jon replies, "Where will we go? I have to watch over you or Father's ghost will come back and murder me." Sansa replies, "Where will we go?" Jon replies, "We can't stay here, not after what happened." I think it's safe to say that Jon told Sansa about his resurrection off screen and it's understood that Sansa knows about it already. That's how I took it anyways.

[@TheMeanMongoose]

+Japanda Sam It seems like they brought each other up to speed before the scene starts, which makes sense. We didn't need to hear them telling each other everything that happened to them because we've seen those events already.

[@Killzoneguy117]

+Copperbeard Yeah, between climbing the wall with Wildlings to fighting through a literal zombie army and killing one of its ice demon commanders, to being literally brought back from the dead, you'd need an entire episode of Jon explaining his adventures to Sansa

[@mirziyob]

+Japanda Sam maybe he told her he got stabbed and near death but didn't die. or maybe Sansa isn't so surprised bc she's been traveling with Brianne, maybe she told Sansa about the blood magic thing that Melissandre did to kill Renly, maybe Sansa isn't a stranger to that kind of magic anymore, idk, just theories tho

[@julieDox3]

It's still be nice if we got Sansas reaction tho... instead we got her reaction to the soup she was eating

[@urorazbojnik5678]

But it's stupid cause I wanted to see her reaction

[@palialert9941]

I just figured out why I love your videos above all others. You do not complain about the books or the show, you just explain what they are! I'm sick of people complaining about every single detail in the books and the show! Thank You!

[@Etrehumain123]

10:11 watching this now that the season 8 has been watched is pretty crazy sorcery how accurate you are...

[@CasiodorusRex]

I like the last part. Danerys turning into the Mad Queen like her father and storming into Westeros to destroy everything in her way. I would guess Jon would oppose her and become the Queenslayer. Nice plot twist.

[@KenrickBrown75]

+Joe Schmoe Or they marry each other because they're both Targaryens.

[@gurungmadan]

+Kenrick Brown wait but wouldn't that mean Danerys is jon's aunt?? since jon's father is Danerys's brother.. how is he gonna marry his aunt?

[@xMrGoKux]

Regardig Daenerys,I think she would be more like Aegon The Conqueror not like Aerys.She will invade,kill some lords and burn some armies and she will be queen with one or two husbands.

[@alfredovalencia3032]

And that wasn't tyranny? Forcing people to bend the knee or die. Sure some of the people he overthrew were also tyrants but not all of them. He burned people until they surrendered to his rule and rule of his house. Seven Kingdoms lived together only because they were scared

[@xMrGoKux]

+Alfredo Valencia I didn't say she wasn't a tyrrant.Because she is but she is more like Aegon with a bit of Aerys in her.

[@danielazhelyazkova9721]

+xMrGoKux That's how conquering works. You don't go there and ask nicely, you MAKE people bend the knee. And if you think anything but Aegon-fire-blood-thing is gonna do it, you are a fool. It was about time she realised that. When you play the Game of Thrones, you either win or you die, remember? :) I don't think she will have even the tiniest bit of Aerys in her, pure Aegon. They cannot fight the White Walkers divided into small groups of *all-I-care-about-is-me-and-my-house*. They need Dany-Aegon and they need it now.

[@xMrGoKux]

She's not pure Aegon.He was a good leader too and knew to take decisions,he was quite rational.But Daenerys,not so much.That's why I said she has a bit of Aerys in her.Also I know the way Aegon did it was the best.I just wish she wasn't the one to do it.Stannis was my choice for king.

[@danielazhelyazkova9721]

+xMrGoKux Well, Stannis was never my choice for king. I am not sure if she is. Honestly, she is the conqueror, but maybe Jon Snow is the best king they will ever get. I just don't see that happening in GRRM universe. But one could hope. :) Anywho, she is no Aerys, at least not to me. :)

[@ellenhart7211]

Great analysis, but I am seriously tired of people interpreting Dany's power as madness. She's scary, yes, but she's not evil. You can see the moment she decided to do what she did: when she listened to the girl's story about her kidnap, rape, and then beating after her rape baby was a girl. Dany is compassionate. Her actions in Ep. 4 were motivated by compassion and a sense that an unjust system needed to be toppled to protect the innocent. Do I think she will save the day and everyone will live happily ever after? No, I don't think it's that simple, but I also don't think the pendulum will swing completely the other way.

[@Gaamel35]

+Ellen Hart High-level politics is about cold and calculated decisions, not emotions. Leave compassion out of the picture, it's only suited to propaganda, singers and tale writers (and personal relations, obviously). Something Tywin Lannister and Ned Stark (two excellent rulers, even if Stark realized too late that he was surrounded by dishonest players) understood very well. If Ned Stark had obeyed his "compassion" he wouldn't have executed the poor deserters of the Night's Watch, and the Wall would have been deserted for a long time. He wouldn't have allowed his elder daugher to be betrothed to the little shit Joffrey, and civil war would have started much sooner. Dany : she thinks having good intentions is enough to bring justice to the world. She's delusional, has no idea of the middle and long-term consequences of her actions. Compassion is important to deal with family and friends, but as a lord you have far greater responsabilities. Smallfolk don't give a shit about compassion. They want bread, work and a decent living. You don't overthrow a system used for centuries (of not milleniums) in the blink of an eye. See how it ended up in modern-day Lybia or Irak when you destroy the State and leave nothing behind. She's lucky to have a powerful army and very good military advisors (Jorah, Barristan, Grey Worm)

[@adriancaine5278]

+Ellen Hart Her compassion is one of her weaknesses. She is not capable of thinking rational and makes wrong decisions all the time. She would probably be just as good as queen as Cersei is.

[@bilinski2546]

+Shakira Daley Watch the show again. Some of the events you enumerated didn't happen the way you phrased it. You're obviously clouded by your hatred for a fictional character. I want to make counter arguments but you already seem so hard on believing what you wanted to believe about her, so.

[@luxintenebris1776]

Well this aged poorly haha

[@David-se5ph]

Here after season 8 lmao

[@patricketurner]

Of course the High Sparrow knew that the Lannisters/Tyrells would retaliate with force. He's too clever of a character to not realize that giving top secret information to a pawn like Tommen would spread like wildfire.

[@patricketurner]

+Patrick Turner And the fact that the royal families fall into his trap makes me wish that Tywin was still alive. He would see right through the High Sparrows plans.

[@adriancaine5278]

+Patrick Turner A lot of the shit the Lannisters are facing would have been avoided if Tywin was there. Seeing educate Tommen to be a strong, but kind, and mostly wise king would have been too good I guess. At least we still have the hope for Jaime to evolve like in the books, but it seems they are keeping him and Cersei together.

[@BroMM]

100,000 views in less than 6 hours! It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that enjoys Alt's videos! So well deserved, quality is amazing every time.

[@mca_a1131]

it's implied that Sansa was informed about it when Jon told her, "I can't stay here after what happened!"

[@GMZohar14]

+mc a_a Yeah.. I thought that part was obvious too

[@METALFREAK03]

yes but is that Jon's death or is that all what has done to their family. I don't think, if you haven't seen your step brother (who is a bastard) for more than 3 years, that step brother would tell you that, he fucked a wilding, went against an ex lord commander and then, after all that shit with the "king north of the wall" got stabbed by all his "brothers" because they just hate ginger people. I don't think you would.

[@mca_a1131]

Frank Spencer Jon is her half-brother not step-brother. Jon coming back from the dead is big news..everyone' talking about it. Sansa doesn't have to hear it from Jon. Also, first thing he uttered when he woke up,"they murdered me!" and he still not over that, definitely the first thing he will tell everyone, it's common sense.

[@METALFREAK03]

mc a_a step/half same thing. Not exactly. I think that is a sit down talk more than hearsay chat. I do believe they have skipped over it and she does know but I don't think that line was the epitome of the discussion though. "it's common sense".

[@mca_a1131]

A stepbrother is not your parents' son, but the son of a person that one of your parents has married; hence, not related to you by blood. It won't hurt to check the dictionary: dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/stepbrother

[@dragonmcmx]

Jon mentions that "We can't stay here, not after what happened." So yes, it's safe to say he did tell her about his death. Although I would've loved for him to kind of hide it from her and Mel being the one to tell her later.

[@КаринаЧубарьян]

We can't hold the door any longer! We need the Episode 5 video!

[@dmann4903]

the umbers are definitely loyal to the boltons in the show. their plan would literally make no sense if they weren't. i mean gifting the last known legitimate male stark to ramsay a man known for his brutality and habit of torturing people would be very very dumb.

[@TheMeanMongoose]

+D Mann Agreed. They could have least used a decoy or something if that was the plan.

[@abhishekmahida3154]

+Copperbeard in the trailer the umber banner is with the boltons

[@ericgarcia7592]

+Abhishek Mahida They could turn on the Boltons during that battle. Would be something to see.

[@dmann4903]

exactly! they would have used a decoy rickon and a decoy wolfs head. serving rickon to ramsay on a platter is just stupid. believing that the umbers are still loyal is just wishful thinking.

[@chuckh89]

+D Mann WRONG! The Umbers ARE NOT loyal to the Boltons!! AND, The Umbers ARE NOT loyal to the Starks!! - all this talk about,.... They wouldn't turn over Rickon, unless they are loyal to the Boltons. NO! They Don't want Ramsay, AND they don't want a male aire to Winterfell and The North They want to rule The North themselves, or want someone in power that the can trust. I don't believe Smalljon hated his father ("was a cunt"), and DOES care about tradition, and I am sure LittleFinger reinforced the fact that the "Warden of the North" is really not a legitimized Bastard (Because Tommen is a Lannister Twincest child), and the family in charge is only there because they betrayed the North by teaming up with the Lannisters (Red Wedding). The North run by a psychopathic, reckless, father killing, turn cloak named Ramsay is only going to end badly for the Umbers, and they probably feel they could better rule the North, or have it run by another they respect with tradition and loyalty. (The way the Starks originally did) They did speak truth about wanting the Wildlings removed from south of the wall, and Jon Snow enabling the "Free Folk" is making it easy to forget their original love for the Starks. The "Pink Letter" (on the show) is from Little Finger with the cooperation of The Umbers.

[@daAnT1990]

10:35 or like the Targaeryens did way back... Aegon I. is not called "the Conqueror" for no reason.

[@gvjunior1994]

+daAnT1990 Exactly! Aegon brought Fire and Blood to those who opposed him but he was not mad. I expect Dany will be much more like him than the Mad King. If we were supposed to think otherwise they wouldn't be playing that triumphant soundtrack during that scene.

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

+Gerardo Velazquez Tyrion agrees with you. "Daenerys Targaryen is no maid, however. She is the widow of a Dothraki khal, a mother of dragons and a sacker of cities, Aegon the Conqueror with teats..."

[@AadharTyagi]

+Jen'Ari-Asha wait, is this actual quote from the books??

[@gvjunior1994]

+Jen'Ari-Asha There is also this quote from ADWD Tyrion VI where he's basically describing that she's nothing like Viserys or her father. I just don't see any way that she goes mad. "...I know that somewhere out upon the grass her dragons hatched, and so did she. I know she is proud. How not? What else was left her but pride? I know she is strong. How not? The Dothraki despise weakness. If Daenerys had been weak, she would have perished with Viserys. I know she is fierce. Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen are proof enough of that. She has crossed the grasslands and the red waste, survived assassins and conspiracies and fell sorceries, grieved for a brother and a husband and a son, trod the cities of the slavers to dust beneath her dainty sandaled feet."

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Aadhar Tyagi Yep.

[@inquiriesbeyond1995]

Always so informative!!! And witty!

[@MrGeneralHeavy]

Many People believe that the High Sparrow told Tommen about the Tyrells or at least Olennas involvement in Joffreys Murder, a piece of information he got from Loras. Thats why Cersei wants the Tyrells to march against the Faith while the Lannister Army "steps down". By doing that Cersei would create a Rift between the Commonfolk and the Tyrells, the two parties that Cersei despises, who then fight each other, with the Tyrells winning of course, and then Cersei would finish the Tyrell Army off and take revenge for Joffrey.

[@denisl2760]

+CaptainWaffle Why would Loras know about Joffrey's murder? He wasn't part of the plan so why tell him?

[@beachfish792]

Oh my god

[@kendjichirac5850]

+CaptainWaffle Yeah like Olenna Tyrell is stupid enough to share her kingslaying plans with Loras. Margeary on the other hand does know the involvment of her grandmother in the death of Joffrey, but I don't believe she would have told anyone.

[@joythornz]

I read this theory from the below link yesterday. www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/4jjqi9/everything_my_theory_about_what_the_high_sparrow/

[@MrGeneralHeavy]

Denis Lipatnikov Olenna told Margeary, and its just a theory and it explains why tommen hesitates to tell cersei and why he asked Cersei she even likes Margeary

i cant believe that this channel has not received recognition as much as other channels....this guy is the best narrator and he always gives evidence for his theories unlike others who simply present their assumptions which lacks information

[@CoinOpTV]

nice recap dude

[@AarlandSun]

"Fire cannot hurt a dragon". That's a much easier explanation for why she doesn't get hurt, rather than the complicated way it seems the books puts it.

[@DBeiki]

+AarlandSun But fire can hurt her in the books, GRRM himself has said this. there are reasons to believe in the books that either the ending of season 1 was a miracle, or that it wasn't because of her bloodline that she survived but thanks to the work of that sorceress she burned.

[@toby8827]

+DBeiki It wasn't so much the sorceress as it was just lucky circumstances. She stumbled on a ritual involving King's blood (Khal Drogo), personal sacrifice (her child) and another sacrifice (the priestess). This is a thing that has been mentioned elsewhere in the books I think and confirmed by GRRM. The show, however, is skipping that to just say "nah she's immune to fire because she's The Dragon".

[@ivrishcon-abarth38]

+AarlandSun I was just thinking maybe the Mad King fucked a dragon or viceversa and Daenerys has some dragon DNA :) Anyway, Theon should have a nickname, like Shitrainsuponmeallthetime.

[@DBeiki]

Toby Gillard It may also be the incantations that mirri maz durr (the priestess) was chanting that have saved daenerys' life. You should check out Preston Jacob's videos about the dornish master plan which touches on this subject. All theories ofc. But my point was that the book doesn't try and explain why dany can't be burnt, because she can.

[@DogOfWar64]

+AarlandSun But fire can hurt a dragon, they did a good job of killing each other off during the dance of dragons.

[@CadaverJunky8]

Holy shit *THANK YOU* for pointing out that Dany is NOT fire proof in the books. She gets burnt at least like two times and it hurts her. She only survived the pyre cause of Mirri's magic. The show is just being the show and doing whatever the fuck it does.

[@bringmeasunkist]

This editing was top notch, really helped me understand and kept it brief without too much exposition

[@AtTheDriveBy]

ive been thinking about the symbology of the story circling around Dany and Jon, the song of ice and fire. Can't help that the story is going in opposite direction. Jon ever so compassionate and noble is a shining light, where Dany is slowly descending into a ice cold blooded killer.

[@msztammyful]

Always the best reviews, thank you!

[@The7moudy]

+Tamar Sanchez If you did what dany did at the end of the episode I'd make a better review about you :$

[@cyberfood1352]

The7moudy with or without her necklace? hahah

[@TheRedLightsOn]

great episode but i think you didnt understand why daario smashed this guys head with a rock. it was so that the dothraki thought he was killed with a rock not with a knife as weapons are forbidden in vaes dothrak

[@ashante190]

I believe sansa does know what happened to Jon. At one point he said "I can't stay here, especially after what happened" to her.

[@benjamingentile1660]

What I like about your videos is you get into the emotion cores of the episode instead of reviewing and summarizing it. Good job, mate

[@iodashi]

I cant get over how well made these videos are. Amazing

[@megatom5]

Another awesome video here. That ending gave me chills.

[@Skpfunz]

This is the best GOT channel ever! I mean the level of knowledge and detail you have in your videos is amazing! Don't know why i didn't find your channel sooner, SUBBED! :)

[@DamianSAAAN]

Robin is wrapped around Petyr Baelish's....Littlefinger.

[@kingjames3192]

"under little fingers thumb" - well played, well played.

[@shegocrazy]

I don't know you get all the research and edits done so quickly & thoroughly plus make it informative & amusing. Whatever - you are the boss at this stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@menthy]

I think, in all seriousness, that Daario is probably the Luigi of the group.

[@AintItJay187]

Luigi is the better more effective character, Mario is just really the face...so he gets all the "Player one" Glory lol

[@TheReaMrBurntSausage]

+MrWicked187 1v1 me on melee and you'll think otherwise

[@AintItJay187]

+Unique and Hilarious Username lol awesome! Let's make it happen

[@TheNivKo]

This video has saved my life

[@adavies9240]

Brilliant review as usual! Cheers!

[@echatters89]

These explanations are 100x better than After the Thrones...

[@nathandavis6061]

I love how you get straight into the video, as always great vid

[@MFBloosh]

In the books, there's a handful of people who could've written the letter. In the show, there's only 2 people imo, Ramsay or the Umbers. I'm leaning more towards the Umbers just based off of how the letter was written. Whoever wrote it makes sure that the first thing mentioned is the wildlings, it overuses the word bastard, and it's not Ramsay's style to write in this way (The letter he sent to Pike about Theon was completely different in tone and wording). Even the seal of the letter looks like someone slabbed some wax down, let it dry, then carved the flayed man into it. I believe that the Umbers are baiting Jon into a battle with the Boltons so they could wipe each other out. The Umbers were loyal to the Starks, but they hate the wildlings more than anything. They most likely hate the Boltons, too. It's just a thought.

[@AadharTyagi]

what about littlefinger

[@MFBloosh]

Aadhar Tyagi Nah, not in the show. Plus the guy who delivers the letter is a Bolton so who knows lol. Could just be Ramsay after all.

[@AadharTyagi]

***** Bolton guy giving the letter proves nothing, it's not that hard to get some other houses sheild and stuff

[@Pulsar77]

+MFBloosh Littlefinger says "Come and see" before he presents the falcon to Robin. That phrase was used several times in the letter. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe not.

[@AadharTyagi]

Pulsar77 wow nice observation

[@Althios]

Thanks as always! I always enjoy your analysis :)

[@PunksterOS]

All these nicknames, Brilliant! Although I think you missed a trick there as you should have called Tommen, Norman Bates? >_< Great re-cap, best on You Tube.

[@kazziemilner]

+Punkster Daddy i don't get it, why call hijm norman bates?

[@PunksterOS]

+Karyn Milner (Kazzy) The movie Psycho... Well Joffrey is dead, for him it'd be more fitting.

[@kazziemilner]

+Punkster Daddy lol i see now, i didnt know that was his name in the movie soz

[@Eholeification]

+Punkster Daddy Tommen Bates

[@Eholeification]

+Karyn Milner (Kazzy) Its from Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho (1960). Norman Bates was the character who was massively under the control of his domineering mother.

[@seanc8721]

I think I have watched every video pertaining to GoT on your channel since yesterday. As someone who started with the show and only read the first book these vids are so informative and well made. Your sparse wise cracks always catch me off guard and are all LOL material. I also notice probably the most civil youtube comment discussions in existence on your videos; my guess is because you just stack facts against each other instead of injecting a lot of personal opinions. Anyhow great channel, THANK YOU. Keep it going and good on ya!

[@purplemiami1]

You're literally the best when it comes to these videos... I look forward to your reviews just as much I look forward to the actual episodes

[@AmethystEyes]

I was anxiously awaiting your video. You never disappoint! Love you Shift!!!

[@The_Ol_Bizzaroo]

+Alt Shift X, I'm going through Thrones withdrawal! I was hoping for your usual Wednesday release on the Episode 5 video to ease my suffering. Help me Alt Shift X, you're my only hope!

[@noname77404]

i know

[@Legend_01]

damn man waiting for these videos is starting to compete with waiting for the next episode of game of thrones. keep doing what your doing man. your videos are great and so in-depth. Peace!

[@WMonicaW13]

i'm so glad that you're doing episode summary vids. often, it's a lot for me to absorb in an hour, so coming back to your summaries, theories, etc. helps to refresh my memory and keep me engaged. thanks a bunch for that!

[@eissennyao]

I keep on ignoring other youtube vids because I was waiting, waiting for yours! Amazing work as always, not rushed and full of details. I was a bit teary at the end. God I love Danny.

[@Jakuuu]

haha lost it at Super Daario Brothers. good video as usual

[@joeyfajardo8738]

I'm just here to read comments about people waiting...

[@arfianlagisha7477]

WHERE'S EPISODES 5??

[@lordcobra]

this channel has become a must see each week for me

[@acester5]

I really love this channel, especially because you commend and say thank you to everyone who's making these great vids possible, that's really cool

[@Doom314]

Does anyone else think "2,000 warrior wildings" is a bit weak? Everyone's been crapping their pants over these guys coming south of the wall...and that's not enough to threaten a single location of significance south of the Wall. We were told this was a huge army, but that's...a very small town at best.

[@theWebWizrd]

+R Doom Interesting point. According to awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Armies, the horde of wildlings might have been 100 000 strong, but Thormund only commands about 5000 wildlings total at the Night's Watch. It's not surprising that half of those would not be warriors.

[@Doom314]

+theWebWizrd I'd go a little higher than 40% of Tormund's personal troops are combat capable--wildling culture is clearly warrior based, and that status is open to males and females. But 100,000 does seem like a plausible number, the kind of number that would cause real consternation. I bet "coming back from the dead" would inspire a few followers. Historically, it's been pretty effective.

[@Doom314]

Totally agreed, there.

[@adriancaine5278]

+R Doom 2000 Could be a lot. If you remember the thenns and Thormund back in season 4, they raided, murdered and raped their way through several villages without anyone managing to stop them. 2000 could do far more. Especially now after the north lost a lot of their men in the war, and the Boltons are threatened.

[@katie5822]

But there were only like a hundred Watchmen at Castle Black, and like 500 overall so...

[@Zain12131]

Where Episode 5 Explanation? In 3 days the next episode comes out lol

[@amapolavioleta]

Yeah I need him to tell me what Hodor means

[@christinep402]

+Simon András Péter (SimonTheSorcerer) low quality? wtf? do we watch the same video?

[@ProfBrunoLampeeni]

Am I the only one who looks at Robin and thinks "Pee Wee Herman?"

[@MrQuenzy]

+ProfBrunoLampeeni More like "Prince Slapface"

[@willb3303]

+ProfBrunoLampeeni I can never unsee this. hahaha!

[@raycaster4398]

+ProfBrunoLampeeni Adrien Brody's his daddy

[@sarge727]

+ProfBrunoLampeeni Robin is so cute. Autistic as shit, but an adorable little fucker

[@MisterTutor2010]

"...the peace might not last.". It just has to last just long enough for Dany to get back with the entire Dothraki Horde.

[@QuantumTap]

the humour in your breakdowns make this the best game of thrones channel on youtube "finally fucking murdered"

[@mitchread7428]

A man needs episode 5 explained.

[@mrbentleyturnbull]

i need you to make more videos!!

[@Swartking]

right? his stuff is too good!

[@mrbentleyturnbull]

+Qaqambile Linganiso I have seen a lot of these Game of thrones explained channels and his is by far the best!!! And Ozzyman reviews is the funniest. 😂

[@cherrygrl906]

agree... more videos please

[@wonderfullywilson2850]

Preston Jacobs videos are SUPER funny too!!! But Alt Shift X is by far the best and most accurate!

[@666melodeath666]

First Stark reunion. Theon going back home. Bastardbowl. Daenerys tits of fire. The show feels like a complete wish fulfillment fan fiction but damn it I'm enjoying it.

[@annedecaelume2847]

Thank you for providing captions! As someone who is hearing impaired, it means so much! :D

[@ethanabben]

You are the best at breaking down episodes! And I love your dry humor that's just casually thrown in! Keep it up man!

[@Stuffandus]

Not sure what people are more excited about, the next episode of GOT or Alt Shift X's episode 5 explained.

[@JayMorayEel]

I think Dany may have done a sacrifice using the blood of Khals(Kings in a certain sense) via burning them in the hut. This may be the second fire she must light, for death with the pyre of drogo being the fire for life of the dragons. There's one pyre left and it's for love, wonder which royal person will be used for it.

[@an.7039]

I like your theory. But what the Khals were sacrificed for?

[@kendjichirac5850]

+James Sarlson (“Renly”) Not a bad theory. I just hope the next royal person isn't Tyrion x)

[@JayMorayEel]

Ana Kh. To resist the fire if we're considering tv fire resist to be an inconsistency. Perhaps more likely to gain some manner of control over her new khalassar.

[@d.j.mcbride4622]

+James “Renly” Sarlson I agree, I think she needs blood to power it. At first she used the sacrifice of Mirri Maz Duur -- who was still alive while being burned. In this case the Khals were the blood sacrifice. Just like Mirri they were burned and their death paid for Dany's life. That is why the flames raced to consume them, moving in ways that are otherwise not natural. You could argue that the Kharls were the royalty of the Dothraki

[@Brzezi25]

+James “Renly” Sarlson The final pyre could be Jorah, technically hes royalty in bear island, and not only that hes clearly in love with Dany. We also know hes most likely going to die or be willing to die once he gets Dany back to Mereen.

[@LUCASHOMINID]

When does episode 5 explained come out?

[@romahnae]

0:55 yes, watch that scene again where they discussing about war.. jon mentioned what they've done to him and she just carried on like he had already told her sometime off screen.

[@raheelalsulmi9954]

woah I didn't know you have arabic subtitles on your videos !! thats really cool .. that's why you're my fav GOT youtuber. I will definitely share your videos with my arab friends

[@ana_goncalves]

Where's the video for episode 5, I'm dying!!!!

[@MahhShakur]

Still waiting for Episode 5. Take your time (please hurry!)

[@edgards]

Where is the new video??????????????????????

[@chonegroup]

It's implied (in the scene where Sana and Jon are talking alone) that they had already filled each other in on the stuff that has transpired so far-- so I assume she does know that Jon died. He said "We can't stay here after what happened".

[@JDBloodstone]

I think you have the best explanation videos... your editing and narration is in rare form! Keep it up!

[@aidanp_o]

is it still normal to find melisandre hot? With the whole facade thing in affect

[@apu-ukkeli]

well yes, becouse her actress is hot.

[@andrewclark8638]

Well the actress is hot so yeah.

[@nexviro8987]

+Aidan P OHara totally, cant wait to see the new red preist

[@zaneisfine]

+Aidan P OHara Yes?

[@Zonca2]

+Aidan P OHara Well, the actress is still hot, her character age or without-magic-look doesn't matter as i highly doubt she will ever again be seen as an old women until her death.

[@jamesabadiev2057]

You're late on the E5 review! Helloooooo! You've got fans here

[@idefyseven]

where the hell is the next episode? its already been a week

[@skyelevandowski]

your channel has opened my eyes to so much with the book and the show. I (like others) have been anxiously awaiting this break down. thank you!

[@sudeepchopra1278]

The way you delivered that line, "Don't worry about this highly contagious incurable fatal disease that turns you into a zombie, it'll be fine" , amazing. XD
