I always thought the "bastard names" were interesting (I also have an inherent fascination with names in general). Something interesting, I live in a coastal city in China, and there's an orphanage nearby; all of the children who wind up there are given the family name "海 (hǎi)" meaning "sea" or "ocean" in Chinese. I never found out exactly why the orphanage director did that, but it reminded me of this.

[@Michaelonyoutub]

thats sounds pretty cool. I have always love names that are not based on like "who your father was" and are based on something else like an occupation, place, or some other cool thing. Those kinds of names always seems to have some interesting story behind them if you go back far enough which makes history more interesting. Those kids will likely grow up and may find other people with the name "海" and they might find out they also had the same upbringing, giving them an instant deep connection to that other person

[@LightDragon777]

@@Michaelonyoutub I think part of the reason the director gave them that family name was so they would feel like a "family" with the other kids at the orphanage who shared that name.

[@steelbear2063]

I mean it's the orphanage, many kids don't really have any last names, so you just give them something. My friend's grandpa was from an orphanage and they gave him the last name of his favorite teacher. Or something like that, I don't exactly remember all the details, but anyway yes, just give them something, it doesn't really matter all that much

[@PointlessRhetoric]

That's interesting. I never really thought about it the fact that people have a family name almost everywhere in the world I assume. it's kind of interesting considering the supposed vast differences between cultures.

Funny listening to Cersei roast Ellaria for being a Sand, yet all 3 of her children are bastards. Lol. Not that, that's the worst thing about her children. Being born of incest and all. But still, it would have been neat if she were more tolerant of bastards given her children being born bastards. It's also funny that Kit mentions Jon wants to lead the Night's Watch. I know it's not being King of the North or King of the 7 kingdoms but I always thought it was weird people said Jon wasn't a guy that wanted to lead. My first thought about Jon at the beginning was he was a kid that wanted to prove himself and become a great leader. He also thought highly of his abilities. Bit arrogant. So him not wanting to be King always felt off with my initial thoughts of Jon in the early seasons.

Why wouldn’t you have GRRM have the final say in the outcome for the writing/direction of the show, sure have writers to take the brunt of the workload but the fact D&D negotiated to have full oversight is kinda impressive on their part, they literally rushed the last 2seasons so they could go to do Star Wars which evtenually go cancelled

[@macmirez9508]

Why on earth would they put D&D in any of this videos!?!?!?!?!? It makes my soul burn every time I hear them try and explain anything to do with ASOIAF.

[@nemoiswhatever]

the 7 dislikes are probably because of Dumb and Dumber

Dead meme. Move on.

[@ulrikbrndsted9891]

I never understood Stone for the Vale and Hill for the Rock. Should be the other way around.

[@ChristianLopez-vo4lc]

If D&D don’t get off my screen (I’ll Decapite Someone)

[@kiinmaskovich4108]

Man D&D actually sound coherent before S5~6, shame they got addicted to crystal meth after that

[@moneymayweathera]

Jon will still be a bastard in the books. The fact that D&D named him Aegon is laughable. Oh and that stupid annulment from Rhaegar. They combined both Jon and Young Griff characters.

[@Mihayan1]

the annulment was pretty stupid. at least the way they handled it.

[@moneymayweathera]

@@Mihayan1 yeah that was stupid and unnecessary. Such a disrespect to Elia Martell and her kids

[@dankgothtrash]

George said that he would only let D&D make the show if they correctly guessed Jon's heritage, meaning Jon actually is Aegon. Maybe Young Griff is an imposter?

[@rolanddeschain5161]

Young Griff/Aegon is probably a Blackfyre in the books

[@moneymayweathera]

@@dankgothtrash Jon won't be named Aegon. D&D combined both the characters of Jon and Young Griff

A noble is a cutthroat plus a century.

Weiss acknowledging that psychopaths have problematic relationships with their fathers.... Narcissists, too, there buddy!

[@tonichan89]

can we censor D&D's faces? they're triggering (lol but ngl only half joking)

[@stevenbailey8167]

Just seeing d&d still pisses me off. They’re the real bastards

[@TheDzudas]

My oppinion is at end Rickon will be lord of Winterfell Jon will die after the fight against white walkers (Dany and YG also will die) . Sansa will rule Vale (i know Robin is her cousin,but that is not big deal) -Gendry and Arya will marry to reunite North and South (King and Queen) -Edric will get Stroms End. - Edmur will rule Riverlands. -Tyron will rule Westerlands - Dorne will go to Alleine -Reach i rly dont have strong oppinion People who knows about Gendry are Stannis and Varys, Stannis cares about rules and he knows Gendry is the oldest Robert son, Stannis will propably die, but he will spread out the word . Varys in other hand support YG, but YG is propably FAegon (BlackFyre), dragon will be his test and dragon will kill him ( Quentyn had Targeryan blood but its was to much diluted) so Varys will support Gendry more than Targeryans. If Varys supports BlackFyre , he would rather have Robert bastard than Targeryans on the throne.

[@seth_fitzgerald]

If I had a choice, I would be a bastard from The Reach or from The North. I wouldn’t mind developing a cunning mindset but I would want to be honorable like The Starks.

[@kingofkings3624]

The most famous bastard isn't a bastard 😜

[@WorldRewind]

I always thought Gendry was Robert & Cersei first true born son. I believe Cersei even speaks on it. I think she says the baby died. Opinions??

[@AHEM1313]

Wouldn't work in the books, where Cercei never gave birth to a child by Robert. Even in just the show, Maggy's prophecy states that Cercei would only have three children: it works if you figure that early deaths don't count, but a fourth child living to adulthood would contradict it outright.

[@neville2308]

No that’s not the case

Indira Varma is unreal
