@@ShinyStarfire Hello! I am glad you liked it. I also like "collecting" those videos. The only annoying part is when they get deleted. Sadly, it happens. By the way, since you watched "The Bells", i have a theory for you: Danny is a Manchurian candidate, activated to the sound of bells. Also, episode 3 basically chucked out the "Prince that was promised" prophecy through the window, so poor, sweet, kind and innocent Shereen died for nothing. That made me very angry. But at least now we know that "valonquar" actually translates to "a big pile of rocks".

@ShinyStarfire 5 лет назад

I wondered why it's triggered by the tolling of bells ... Talking about the Valonqar prophecy, I found fitting comment under the video with the scene where Cersei and her friend visit the witch (or as in the books, Maggy the Frog): GRRM: "You see Cersei's whole life is set out by the Valonqar prophecy" D&D: "Yeah Yeah we got it, now watch her die by dropping a castle on her" Not the unexpecting and surprising is happening in the last episodes of the series, but everything we never wanted.

@tustari 5 лет назад

Alt made a great prediction when he paralleled Dany's potential turn to madness because of rejection by the Northerners (and indeed all Westerosis) with Visery's madness when he was rejected by the Dothraki. Combine that with the losses of two dragons, Ser Jorah, Missandei and most damning of all the spread of the secret of Jon's true heritage (from Jon himself) it seems more and more plausible that this end was inevitable for Dany. The problem is it may have been done to abruptly. The biggest problem with season 8 is that is seems extremely rushed. If they had spread the story out more it would have been more successful.

It's obviously symbolism, as Alt mentioned here. Jon was letting go of his Stark heritage. But also probably the fact that HBO & D&D just don't want to spend their budget on a direwolf. And also because they never established just how deep the Stark & their direwolves connection is in the show. The only ones vaguely representing that were Rob and Bran

I mean, I had no doubt whatsoever that Qyburn was going to make sure as many of those giant crossbows were built as possible in all the time since the Loot Train attack (though I'd guessed maybe a dozen around the city, not apparently A HUNDRED in the city and on ships). Even aside from the absurdity that Alt Shift X points out that there's no good reason Dany and Drogon didn't see those AT ALL until it was too late, what pisses me off more goes all the way back to Winterfell. gee, we have someone on our side that can literally see what ever person in Westeros is doing at the present moment, as well as all the past. Jon: "So Bran, what have Cersei and Euron been up to the last few days?" -- PROBLEM SOLVED cause see, I'd been wondering if even book readers were sketchy on this whole notion of Bran becoming the 3ER, because would it be too much of the 'deus ex machina' concept, you're making a character with pretty much limitless power. And the key to good writing when you have that is figuring out interesting and plausible ways to still make that character vulnerable somehow. But here, he's simply used when it pertains to the plot strictly as they want to use it, and he's ignored for "reasons" when the plot needs other characters to be hurt in some way.

I'm really surprised you called out a coffee cup but not them calling Gendry *Rivers* (Riverlands bastards) instead of the proper Waters (Crownlands).

@MarkHogan994 5 лет назад

Actually Gendry shouldn't even have a bastard name. Bastard names are reserved for highborn bastards. That's how it is in the books anyway, GRRM has spoken about it in interviews. If you're acknowledged by your highborn parent, then you get a bastard name. But Gendry lived all of his life without knowing who he was, and was never acknowledged by Robert. So he wouldn't have any surname at all. And if for some reason he did, then yeah, it would be Waters.

@thatzootsuit8007 5 лет назад

Gendry wasn't an _acknowledged_ bastard by Robert and as such be can't use Rivers or Waters as a surname. Also, the GoT Wiki states that a bastard's last name depends on the region he was _born_ in. As we don't know where Gendry was born (we know he was raised in Kings Landing however) he could be a Rivers - if my first point wasn't true.

I'm not entirely sure how you can tell that plot contrivence without it looking stupid. I mean the book Euron supposedly uses magic, so i dont know why they cant set up a vague cultist thing in order to make the takedown of a dragon feel plausible in this world.

@Karakuioshi 5 лет назад

It's simple. In books he was written like that, but in the show he's just some dumb dude who for example in a smart movie would be nameplated "bad dude #4" and this whole scene is just undeserved. If he would be a guy who uses magic like in a books then it could make sense that he made entire fleet invisible, but as it stands he just shot 3 shots on an open sea at the dragon which was flying WAAAAAAAY outside enemy range and killed it simple because it's "shocking", I think.

Alt Shift X is the only analysis channel I have seen that reviews GoT in such a factual, logical and thought-provoking way.

One of the biggest draws to game of thrones was always the fact that it inspired wonder in how the story could unfold. There were so many possibilities about familial connections, the power of magic and the white walkers, and most importantly, the ending. Now that it's winding down, it feels as though that wonder is gone, that no matter what happens it will either be from totally out of left field, or be held up by the contrived story structure of these last couple episodes. And that sucks.
