A Game of Thrones Summary (Part 1)

[@kenbrovost9653]

This took a lot of time. To think people pay others on you tube to react to something which takes absolutely no effort and things like this go unnoticed

[@ThatDragonGuy]

148k views ain't exactly unnoticed lol

These videos are so expertly done. The writing, the analysis, the pleasant voice, the editing. Absolutely a treat. Thank you!

[@Overchicken08]

I love the “where is my mind” classical rendition in these videos

[@James_Dolensky]

I just want to say that these videos are a God send, And exactly what I'm looking for. I stopped reading about a year ago halfway through book 3, I want to recap before I try to get back into the books again. I especially like how at the end of each chapter you point out the differences between the book and the show. This is the perfect way to recap the books without having to spend days re reading when I already read

[@julianlaresch6266]

It's crazy to see where GRRMs original plot thread was and what it ended up in the show

[@videobooks3]

Yeah the differences are interesting to see

[@Magic--518]

Excited to find this channel, then taken aback to discover the videos apparently play the same background song for hours and hours. There’s gotta be another solution for the background music. Fixing that might help the numbers.

[@MrCokoRock]

The part where bran discovers he can go to the past and somehow interact feels pretty SNK it can't be coincidence, i wanna buy the books so bad 😂

[@MaesterGreen]

When he explains how The Others may be justified in their attacking Westeros I believe he has some strong and valid points. I also think this is kinda the issue with the fandom. The Others are ice zombies... I don't think that can be debated I also don't think it's best to try and make them more than what they are. It's fun to speculate and wonder but these overly complicated story threads that mean nothing and just added context are useless, fun, but useless. And the over examination of some things in the books, I think, has caused George to change things and create stories that don't make sense. The Robert Frost poem makes sense and probably is why Barristen Selmy has the final chapter in Dance, being Dany and Jon's metaphorical go-between. But the Others being too imbred and wanting to take Westeros for... Genetic makeup or whatever is just insane. Their magic, they have the wildings, why would they ever have to worry about that? They want death for the sake of death like any other zombie. Also Sansa liking the Royce guy is something I didn't remember but it's always nice to find little tidbits like that.

Props for this summary, I can only imagine how much work was done here, thanks! "Illeroy" triggered me to no end tho :D

[@knivesmillions2913]

My personal theory about who sent the direwolves: Bloodraven sent them south of the wall alongside Gared (he was instructed by cold hands to guide the mother direwolf and her pups and when he got further south the wolf ran away and was then attacked by the Stag) who was saved from the Others and escorted by Cold hands to the same gate Bran eventually uses to get north.

"The king eats, and the hand takes the shit" Is probably one of few changes that I prefer in the show. "The king shits and the hand wipes" Makes more sense to me.

[@Rahim.ali80]

I always wondered why Benjen never told Ned about the Others & how can a true blooded Stark of the North like Ned couldn’t conceive the idea of the Others but a Southerner & a follower of the Seven like Catelyn didn’t think it was mad that the Others still existed even with her Measter not only believing they don’t exist but even denying they ever existed at all

I don't get it. If Robert arrives shortly after the wolf pups are found, how can they be so large by the time the children depart from Winterfell?

Guys, I watched the recap of Game of Thrones because I had not started watching series, and this was about a year ago, and I only remember a few of the events, including a medium to small part of the events of the end, and some other events, and I feel that I want to watch the series, so should I watch it or not?

[@jotusaini7886]

Mance isn’t Arthur Dayne he’s just better than Jon. A lot of swordsmen are. Jon admits Robb was better and The Halfhand let him win he’s good buts he’s not the best. When he gets long claw he thinks to himself even with valaryian steel he’s not Aemon Targaryen the Dragon Knight. Which would be hilarious if that ends up being his real name

[@kjellduteweert9262]

Cool video. I think Jon's mother is either Ashara and is the trueborn heir of Winterfell and Ned Married her before married Catelyn. Or Is Rhaegar's Son, and is the trueborn. Plus the heir, it would be ironic that Catelyn always thought Jon would be usurped where Robb, and Nedd more than Usurp Jon. Otherwise, why don't tell Jon who is mother is. Or it is totally something else. But we will see if the winds of winter ever come out.
