Top reasons it was all solved. 1. She forgot. 2. He dun want it. 3. She's ma queen.

[@Anbu_Sampath]

only Unsolved Mysteries is how the greatest show ended like that.

[@AdrianPerez-go1to]

Oh we know why, since the producers didn’t have any more material from the books they didn’t know what to do.

[@BabaJagha]

Greatest show 😂?

[@MuhizmadTheDarwish]

Time crunch, logistics, aging actors and a long expensive production process, no source material, george cant even seem to finish at least they turned something in

[@Ravenblack42]

Just saw the news that Westeros is in it's early stages of making its official debut on the big screen in the form of a movie. Considering the many ''irons in the fire" HBO currently has going on with the amount of shows they are making for streaming, I'd like to think that they decided to send one to the big screen instead, specifically the one encompassing Aegon's Conquest. Just Imagine being in a theater and getting to finally witness Balerion in the flesh.

[@aaronmartinezsmith]

I still don't understand if D&D were possessed by some evil spirit by the end of the show that they did what they did.

[@catwoman0828]

More like possessed with stupidity.

[@MotherOfCats-m2g]

They were eager to move on to Star Wars and their own projects. Just sucks, cause they botched the end & that may well be the only ending we get.

[@sad_dad]

100% agree with this 😂😂

Yeah possessed by greed

Got them nothing in the end

[@zekethewise7042]

Don’t lose sleep over questions that will never be answered

[@amandastuart8294]

Varys knew what was said in the flames and he heard it right before he did. He heard Dracarys and that is why he has that look right before he died. He knew what it meant. I thought everybody understood that when they watched the episode. That he would died by flames. Am I the only one who got that? Go back and watch his expression.

[@ccronk]

Kimvara met Varys in Mereen not Dragonstone btw but yeah, that was my top unsolved mystery

[@WestlawnFilms]

I think the Jaqen H’gar thing has a pretty simple explanation: Tywin hired a Faceless Man to take out Ned. They knew what Joffrey ended up doing would start a war, but by having something go sideways either on the way up to or at the Watch they wouldn’t be held responsible for. So they hired him, Jaqen knew they would empty out the Black Cells for the Watch on the return to the Wall along with their other “recruits” and that would be the crew Ned would have gone up with. Then they just have to put Jaqen in the cells right before and voila an assassin sleeping next to his target on the months long journey North. You’ll never convince me Tywin was just going to let Ned go to the Wall and live scot free. No way

[@myaalexander354]

Tywin wanted to exchange Ned for Jaimie and end the conflict with the Starks so they could quickly switch their focus to dealing with Stannis and Renly. As far as Twin was concerned, they still had Sansa as a hostage to keep Ned and the North and Riverlands at least neutral while he dealt with the Baratheons, who he saw as the more immediate threats, particularly Stannis. Littlefinger is the better candidate, being from a Braavosi house and being the one to suggest the faceless men as a solution to take care of Dany and Viserys early on. It would make more sense that he hired Jaqen to kill Ned on the way to the wall to cover up his betrayal of him, being that he still loved and desired Cat at this point.

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

We’ll never know for certain until the books are finished

[@DaviesMartinezBeats]

Don't hold your breath...

[@kevinstull8552]

IF they ever get finished...

[@Sandrilyonaify]

The symbols we first saw that the white walkers left, this was never really explained. Also I often think about Quaithe's appearance and her prophecies.

[@C0mr4d3C0m1ss4r]

The symbols were that of the children of the forest. They are shown in the cave when Danny and John look at the cave paintings. The white walkers were made by the children. They use the symbols as a mockery to them.

[@Jeff_Thomas]

The ending makes you forget how good the Jojen, Meera, and Bran storyline was....

[@mgabriel2636]

Seasons 7 and 8 were heavy on effects, sacrificing episodes to do battles, and leaving too many plot lines unresolved or poorly ended.

[@MrYoungGun100]

Interesting. I’ve never once wondered what Varys heard in the flames.

[@Kholmi.28]

Every time we go back to GOT, I get upset again. So many unanswered questions. 😭 Never seeing Howland Reed was probably most upsetting. At least in HOTD they might be able to answer the Night King's origin.

[@JPayne95]

How could they answer the night kings origin when his origin is already known, he was created by the children of the forest to help fight against the first men.

[@Kholmi.28]

@@JPayne95 but who was the man sacrificed and why?

Why was the map during the opening credits concave? Was the sky blue in Westeros b/c they really were living inside the blue-eyed giant, Mucumber, like Old Nan would tell Rob as a kid? (S1E3 19:51)

[@singstreetcar5881]

Dragons cant fly beyond the wall, why was dany able to fly her dragons beyond the wall?

[@aloisiosenra]

Maybe she circumvented the Wall by the sea?

[@askyeyv7039]

Well, they made the entire Gendry running to the wall and sending letter in a day story so I really wouldnt think of dragons not being able to cross the wall.

[@mandytrevino8169]

The problem is your mixing show & book cannon! Book cannon is where dragons can’t fly beyond the wall. The show did their own thing.

[@askyeyv7039]

@@mandytrevino8169 but its still based of the books, they cant keep one lore and neglect the other they dont like

[@mandytrevino8169]

@askyeyv7039 that's exactly what they do though. That's why the cannons or "rules" are different in the books vs show. One writer cares D&D didn't.

[@missnevenka]

Does GOT/Talking Thrones have its own call center? We need those tips from the public!

[@made-line7627]

Yes! Still devastated that we never got to hear what Varys heard in the flames 🔥

[@AndyJP]

I forgot about some of these mysteries, thanks for the video

[@RonWeassly]

A lot of these mysteries didn’t have a chance to complete their story because D&D changed the story of Dance with Dragons and just made up their own stuff in seasons 5 to 8.

[@gymwars1244]

Thank goodness for this channel. I miss that show, and this keeps it close.

[@michaellamont250]

Kudos for that intro!!!! Took me back to my youth watching unsolved mysteries in bed as a kid!!

5:22 I always thought he placed himself there, all part of the plan to train ayra

[@lip8397]

The „i hope you have a great day“ sentence after seeing this video, was a bigger Joke as season 8😂

[@myaalexander354]

Jaquen was in the black cells because Littlefinger hired the faceless men to kill Ned on the way to the wall to cover up his betrayal of him. Littlefinger’s family is Braavosi and he’s the one who quickly suggests hiring a faceless man to kill Dany early in GOT. He’s clearly familiar with them.

[@cyrilvankeirsbelk7299]

Jaqen H’gar was in the cell because he wanted to meet Aria Stark. Did you think the encounter was accidental? He wasn't the kind of person to recruit someone without knowing just who she was. The whole encounter was designed to create a relationship with Aria. Syrio Forel probably informed him about her suitability if, in fact, Jaqen H’gar wasn't actually the martial arts instructor.

[@michaelmcconnell448]

From my understanding, the main problem with the Game of Thrones series is that the last book was never written by George RR Martin. The developers of the series did a good job of interpreting the books, but when it came down to the last book, they had to write the stuff themselves and they didn’t do a very good jobof writing the material

[@Annejali]

I personally don’t see the first one as a mystery. I think that they were trying to give more depth to Varysis character. It felt like to me him, sharing his story as he was unboxing the man that committed these atrocities to him, showed how capable Varys is in getting what he wants. We also hear him say that because of what happened to him he’s against all witchcraft and magic; so it’s already been answered as to why he feels uncomfortable around any of the red priestesses presence.

[@raytorres8249]

good job! more please!!!!!!

[@pepjacklent]

If you’ve read the books, the epilogue of book 5 will have you question Varys way more than the show did

[@masterrserch3971]

6:48 All they were was "All ABOUT PIES, A-Z," ...and, of course, Dragon'ing For Dummies (he obv never got around to reading that one)

[@kmclane12]

From The Hollywood Reporter article. Not my words. Since the end of the original series, however, there have been countless changes to the company’s executive ranks (with HBO now headed by Casey Bloys and the film studio led by Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy), as well with the film versus TV landscape - including an increased willingness to shift cinematic properties to the small screen and back again. There has been Matt Reeves’ box office hit The Batman launching its acclaimed HBO spinoff The Penguin, Max’s upcoming Dune: Prophecy TV series following the success of Denis Villeneuve’s two films, HBO prepping a new take on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels as a TV series, and Warner Bros. developing new Lord of the Rings movies even as Amazon unfurls its The Rings of Power TV show. In short: The idea that a genre property needs to be either a movie or TV show has become outdated, so it’s unsurprising that Thrones might be the next property to cross mediums.

[@billydeez25]

I agree with you 100 percent about everything in the video, especially when it comes to Varys storyline. I personally would have loved to see Quaithe's follow up near the end. I felt they could of really made 10 episodes instead of 7 in general by adding some more interesting lore filler etc ... I also would of loved to see the Dorne women rotting in the cells for some reason or maybe also dying from fallen bricks lol.

[@mb2000]

Why has there apparently been little to no technological advancement for thousands of years?

[@JPayne95]

Technology could mean different things in the got universe, we know that valryia was very advance in comparison to the rest of the world.

[@Volodymyr59]

Lord of light was the true God in this series.

[@lewishill4074]

Personally I think John Snow will become the new night king. Not that it will ever get written

[@kaydle50]

Maybe because he is a Targaryen. Maybe that’s also why Tyrion was not burned by the dragons in the dungeon.

[@DaviesMartinezBeats]

I'm not watching or buying any GRRM products until WoW is released. It's my own one-man embargo and I can outwait GRRM if this is the path he continues to choose...

[@joshythehand2960]

For some reason.. I always thought "no one" was actually a targaryin relative. That he had always known Ned took in Jon snow. And watched the family from a distance. That he might have cirio. And he intentionally set it up to have her save him from the fire. It's why he cut her so much slack.

[@nickolasredbear132]

Lyanna and Rhaegar's live action actor choices.. We will never know...

[@themulattomaker2602]

I just wanted more Quaithe 🤷‍♂

[@denisemorse6385]

Just a thought for you ..... The Wite female that the Stark went north for and Caster's boy possibly being the threat in the possble Snow series, I never read the books, Tyrian Lannister telling Jon Snow ask me in 10 years

[@SJH2]

I think a lot of these may be pearls that GRRM has clutched close to his chest so that his upcoming novels will still hold a sense of relevancy. Sure, he gave them some beats to hit to make it to the end, but as we know, if you read the books, the show became something so completely different that the novels can still be their own story.

[@TheSLUser]

wait until the next book comes out
