It really makes you appreciate Ned even more. He took his sis's baby and claimed the child was his, and took ridicule from everyone, and let his wife think that too, and you know Cat hated Jon, and even though she loved Ned, she sure gave him hell because of it. And he bore it all in silence, all because he loved his sis and didn't want her son to be killed by Robert. How many people could do what he did? Not many at all, I have no doubt. He was about to cry when he promised Jon they'd talk about his mama, you could see his sis still meant the world to him. A truly good, honorable man.
I do not like Rhaegar and Lyanna... who else? They ruined a lot of lives and caused a lot of bloodshed while they were in their loveshack, and wouldn't contact people to stop the shit going on. Pretty selfish motherfuckers.
Ned had to lie to Catelyn; if he told her the truth she would love Lyanna's child as her own. Catelyn's rejection and hatred of the child made the lie that he was Ned's bastard all the more convincing. It's is the one thing that kept him safely hidden in plain sight.
@@astroflight6571 oh yeah, I know why he had to lie, but considering that he was such an honorable man, you know he loved his sis a lot to go through that. Think about it, years and years of catty remarks and getting the side eye, that's got to have hurt him. But he did it cause he loved his sis, and he loved his family, he wasn't just protecting Jon, he was protecting his wife, kids, and everyone at Winterfell. Robert was a paranoid drunk, who knows what he would have done to Ned, his family, and his people at Winterfell if Robby had found out. I wouldn't have put it past Robby B to slaughter the whole shebang, even his best bud Ned.
It was also the perfect timing to tell him in that “next time.” He would’ve been on the Night’s Watch; where one is generally absolved of all their rights, past crimes, and deeds. So when the truth would have came out, Robert would technically by law not be able to kill Jon.
@Tj Tillman No, it is not due to incest. It's what the people from Valyria looked like, silver hair with violet eyes. The reason these traits remained was because of incest (they did not want to "dilute" their blood of Valyria).
@@MrWuChung he also went to Walmart a lot for the sales. In fact the last time Ollie made sure to ask him why he was going. His answer, "For the watch Ollie, for the watch."
@@leseratte3546 Jon united the 6 kingdoms, freefolk, Unsullied, Dothraki, Dany and 3 dragons to fight the tens of thousands of dead which gave Arya the opportunity to stab one guy.
R Rockwell I mean not really Mance united the wildlings and Dany united the Dothraki and Unsullied Jon just told them to fight the night King and his army and the only kingdoms that fought the undead army was the north and maybe the vale so shut the fuck up about uniting the 6 kingdoms
@@leseratte3546 u don't get the point...if it wasn't for Jon, no one would've known about the real danger all of the seven kingdoms r facing, while they were in war against each other, Jon was preparing for the great war. And yes, he DID unite the free folk, got them beyond the wall to save them, united the northmen and the free folk and others, got dany to fight with them, even went to kings landing to show them what they r up against. He bent the fuckin knee to save his ppl, the northmen and ofcourse the rest of the world. Have some respect...
The funniest part of this is the fact that when bran is in the middle of a monologue saying jon is a targaryen the directors somehow thought it was a good idea to just overlap that with some classic game of thrones incest between jon and his aunt
array s Took her (as wife ) is not the same as kidnapping her, Roberts rebellion was based on the fact that she was stolen/kidnapped/taken against her will...
The Mad King should have been deposed long before he was devising wildfire deathtraps for good men. If Rhaegar was not out singing and "seducing" 17 year old girls chasing prophecies as a man in his thirties, he would have had the mad king put in a comfortable but locked tower with a maester to take care of him..
@@moniquegebeline4350 Actually the rebellion started because the mad king brutally killed Ned's Stark father and brother when they asked for justice and The mad king asked John Arryn to give him the heads of Ned and Robert,the lord of the Vale didn't accept this and called his banners which followed by Ned calling his banners and Roberts arrival at his land and by in short time gathering thousands of man.From the time that those three houses joined their armies,the Mad King's days were numberd.
@@alliechavez896 "Not that Rhahegar did anything wrong" Are you sure about this? Bruhh he really fucked up.He made himself hated by 3 of the strongest houses which 2 of them went on rebellion short after and the other refused to stop the rebellion when given the chance.
I can see why people are upset about the ending of the series. In the end, R + L= J and the revelation that Jon is the heir to the Iron Throne amounted to nothing.
Exactly. All throughout the entire series you want Jon Snow to find out who he really is because he is truly a good person. Then this horrible way they ended the show made you feel like I waited to see this. Ridiculous
Bran: "I can see things that happened in the past and I can see things that are happening now. Why did you come to Winterfell?" Sam: "You tell me, bitch"
You are so coarse and vulgar.... It should have said... Jon *_consorted_* with his Aunt -or at least, Jon was Daynerys' concubine- ... there, that's better -and let's be honest, that was HOT AF- yasssssssss
BKHRacing strange he allowed Jon to go to the wall. Ned being Ned he wouldn't allow him to leave the watch, no one would, thus Ned knowingly ending the Targaryen dynasty right then and there peacefully.. Well he did think he was a bastard still, not worth getting Robert's knickers in a twist I spose.
Tony Randall it was perfect in a way that Jon would join so Ned could tell him. As a brother of the Night’s Watch, you give up all your rights, past crimes, and deeds. So technically by law, even if Robert did find out he Jon is a Targaryen; he shouldn’t be able to kill him just like Maester Aemon.
I think so too but Robert was so blinded by his hate for the targaryens that he would never have been capable of ever loving anyone not just Cersei. I do think that that's the real reason she wanted him dead because he let her know that he never did care about her
He probably felt lust for the younger Cersei but he knew she was a bitch and wanted nothing other then sex. Once he hit that...he was done with her. Typical arranged marriage.
KEVIN - Not sure if you read these anymore, but I noticed that a massive number of your amazing "rewind" summary videos are now hidden. I used to absolutely love watching them, and I'm sure the amount of work that went into them was insane. Any reason they're all hidden now? Makes me wish I'd downloaded them!
I love how people are all shocked that Jon is doin it with his "Aunt" . People don't seem to care that the Lannister siblings have been diddling each other for years. Hell they even had children together. Lol
BLOODY HELL Mate, these rewind videos are excellent. They've answered questions I didn't even know existed and clarified so much of the storyline. You're a star for posting them. Many Thanks from the UK.
09:02 ''What harm could Lyanna Stark's _Ghost_ do to us now?'' Well Jon Snow is Lyanna's ghost in a way, whats more is his direwolf also named Ghost.. Foreshadowing or WOT?
I don't really like Rhaegar and Lyanna... anyone else? Their behavior was reckless and fucking selfish. Didn't even have the decency to get in contact with anyone when it was obvious shit was getting real while they were fucking each other's brains out in the Tower. Glad they died, and I hope it was painful for them both, given the pain and misery they caused so many other people.
@@heyheyheyheyheyhey76 i think they did get in contact, i think they used Littlefinger but he didn't pass on the message, i also think Ned had an idea but by the time he realized the mad king had murdered his father and brother and it was too late.
Very nice job. Well paced. It's a better "feel" that most GoT videos that rush through the subject. Since the tone and feel are important to GoT, it's nice your videos mirror that. I'll figure how to contribute tomorrow. Thanks and I'll watch your other videos over the next few days.
I don't think anyone could do samwell tarly better than the actor who did it. Every reaction he does is pure gold, his interaction with bran is hilarious is corresponds exactly with how viewers feel at the moment
Hearts Ruiu no, he wasn't having a vision of current status of them porking! For that, he needs to do something like roll eyes back his head or close I think. Once again, Targaryens are a family a incest! It's their tradition or custom whatever to wed within brothers and sisters to have a close family. Aegon did that. Married both of his sisters! So, it ain't too kinky in that family of incests. For all the shit, Jamie and cersei get, I think Targaryens are Even worse! Sure, dragons are astonishing to look at but they are murderous beasts which answer to no one except their riders.
The saddest part of the whole protecting Lyana from her brother was that they didn't need to die! No one had to die! They just had to be smart and talk about her situation and just be done with the whole calling Jon Ned's bastard! It's like Danny says sooo many times, brave men are fools! They die for reasons for which there needs to be no fighting for!
They had to keep Jon (Aegon) a secret despite Rhaegar being dead. It was his last orders to them. If the regime fell, they were no longer kings guards anyway, which is exactly what happened. They would have probably have had to raise Aegon and keep Lyanna safe. They were also in Dorne and Elia was just brutally murdered by the new regime, so they would probably garner huge respect there even full scale support for Aegon to win back his throne later in life. He was dark haired and would not stand out as a Targaryen until he revealed his true heritage when the time was right. But, Ned showed up with his buddies and....
History repeats it's self, just like Robert Baratheon before him, Gendry Baratheon fell in love with a Stark woman that didn't love him back, so sad, Gendry's love for Arya could be the beginning stage of another bloody war in the seven kingdoms..
I love the story of Jon’s heritage but I think Lyanna is a bit of hypocrite. She says She doesn’t want to marry Robert because he won’t stay in one bed, but then runs away with a married man.
Rob is way worse, he had a bunch of bastards before the war. Rhagar was promised to the Martel woman but got that marriage anulled. I also think Rob puts Lyanna to high of a pedestal and thinks she would have gone along with whatever he wanted but Lyanna was strong willed and did what she wanted
Cool deep dives man! I’m on the hire one and it’s so nice to see background on these characters altogether this way. Great research from the books too! Thank you 😊
Rhaegar falling in love with lyanna also crosses over to cersei hating the starks because of roberts love for lyanna n not her. Even Joffreys hate of the starks was further fueled by cersei even tho it was arya who first started his hatred for them. It doesn't explicitly show but im sure she didn't deter joffreys hatred for them.
Joffrey's just a little shit and hates everybody. He's a bully and enjoys making people suffer. He even throws shade at his mother and gets slapped for it.
Sr Chalice something tells me you really hate woman despite it being the MEN’S choice for choosing to fight for someone they love. Not to mention in relationships both men and woman fight for those they love in different ways. Stop being sexist and fuck off into the sunset will you.
Hey man! Loved your GoT Rewind videos, wondering how you're doing now? Did you end up finishing college? Also, are you thinking of jumping back into the world of ASOIAF with the new House of the Dragon series premiering? Hope you're doing well man!
As honorable as Ned was I find it f***** up that knowing who he is, he would send him to the wall. I bet he had a huge change of heart when he made it to kings landing and the fat king showed his true colors.
According to the books there was nowhere else to sent Jon. He couldn't take a bastard to king's landing. He couldn't tell people Jon wasn't his bastard and Cat said that he couldn't stay in Winterfell. It was keep the secret or risk death.
Karen Love I think one of the reasons he sent Jon to the wall was so that if anyone was to find out he was a targaryen then he wouldn’t have any claim to the throne since he gave it all up when taking the black
Diandra Swain Eddard was the lord of Winterfell, not cuntlyn. He could tell her to fuck off, and make jon stay at Winterfell. He did it once when Jon was a baby. Ned just loved his wife much more than his nephew and didn’t even warn him about how the wall really was. Not a very honorable man
Lyanna the hypocritical fool. Doesn't want to marry Robert cause he'll be shagging other women. Yet she runs off with another man who's married and has children and fucks his brains out while serious shit goes down, her own father and brother are butchered because of her lies and lack of contact? Both reckless motherfuckers got what they deserved. They have the blood of a lot of people on their hands.
Kevin, I love all your compilations; you are so very talented. This was so beautifully created that I was in tears (my husband had great fun teasing me) 😆 Your method of adding valuable information by way of narratives in between scenes was genius! Thank you so very much!! ReWatching the Tower of Joy scenes NOW (with all we know ) gives every precious moment an entirely new meaning . For ex. The sadness on Young Ned’s face., back when 1st seen I thought his sadness was simply due to Lyanna’s death BUT it’s way more complex and awful (in addition to his inability to prevent the terrible death of his precious sister,😢: 1. He realizes with terrible sadness that not only is his beloved sister’s life slipping away but that he facilitated the death of the man his sister truly loved. 2. The beautiful little baby Ned is handed is truly the incarnation of R+L’s love & joy . 3. Ned is so young & he’s lost so many members of his family. has been given the last child of a family that molded the entire world he knew. Even as the heir to another great family, the Starks, this is quite a massive responsibility. (One which Catelyn only makes much worse when Ned finally returns home. You know? She and her total nutyer of a sister REALLY brought tremendous & unnecessary pain and death down upon so many. Even worse they brought death down upon so many whom they professed to love most. Lysa was a murderer, she isn’t simply an accomplice to Jon Arryn’s death. She gladly gave him the Tears of Lys provided by Littlefinger. the tiny baby has no one but his young uncle
Hey Kevin! Hope you made it through the Pandemic. I'm hoping to see new stuff from you soon! You were my go to G.O.T recap resource! Hope you're well Sir.
(4:51) I love in this scene where Robert is at Lyanna’s grave paying his respects, you see bed looks very meek. Now idk if that’s just his character or what but he always seems to avoid eye contact with Robert whenever they talk about her. Idk I just thought it was a really cool detail with the whole context
I like the pace of this video. It finally gives you the time to soak in every twist that happened. All these revelations seemed to happen way to fast on the show, especially for Sam, how did he get everything together so fast?
He was obsessed with prophecy. Everything he did, he did because he read it in a prophecy and believed he was the Prince who was Promised. He was born during the tragedy at Summerhall, amidst the flames. He wasn't even a warrior growing up, until he read that he had to be and went to the weapons master right after and told the guy to train him. He underestimated the rage of Robert by getting with his girl, in that respect, he was foolish. His father also escalated the rage of Ned and Robert by killing Brandon and Rickard Stark. When he had gotten Lyanna pregnant, he now had the third head of the dragon in his children. He was probably still Prophecy driven and thought himself invincible. His backup plan included keeping Lyanna and his third child alive to continue the prophecy should he die in battle. And, he did. Thats why the kingsguard fought anyone to protect them.
What narration ?? There are only scenes from the series and nothing else... srsly man you haven’t even watched it and you’re just here to spread negativity.
The saddest part about this is that the Stark family dies off. Bran can’t have children because he’s the three eyed raven and Sansa & Arya would likely die/get married to another house. There’s no one to further the bloodline
You know something? In Bali, there is a culture called "nyentana", in which the women wilk become the household head if the family is of a royal family and have no male heir. Maybe that could apply here, and either Sansa (most likely) or Arya marry a smallfolk instead of a royal family, so that the Starks have their name LIVE ON...
Ser Arthur Dayne's sword was already on the ground before he put his helm on. I guess he put it back in it's sheath so he can draw them both dramatically? Lol
One more thing Cersei & Robert would never have been truly happy because she knew where HIS ❤️ was.... but then again her heart was with Jaime so they were even I guess!!
I sort of like these videos too because it puts everything in perspective and compresses stuff that was way foggy. To say Lyanna married in secret is strange because it's written in someone's diary so a couple of people knew means it ain't that much of a secret.
Is it strange that I still kind of hate Rhaegar and Lyanna. They may have been in love, but think about how their “love” lead to the deaths of thousands or even millions.
Hey Kevin! I was wondering why most of your rewinds are hidden now? Does it have to do with the new show? I would really love to see them again as I watch them quite regularly. Hopefully everything is going well in your life and hopefully you see this and can respond thanks.

Get a job little buddy and stop begging for money. Or sign a contract, with your donators .. That when the time comes that they will need money .. That you will return the favor and give money to them. If you can't do that .. than you're just another pos .. who lives off of the backs of other people. aka. A RU-vid welfare bum. A life loser who needs others to pay their way.
Creating these videos is work, you don't have to donate and props to Kevin GT for creating passive income which may help free more time to study or follow other pursuits. Good job Kevin GT ...much respect.
Rhaegar Targaryen the love sick fool who doomed thousands.Of all the women in the seven kingdoms he could fall for he had to go for Lyanna Stark. Disrespects his own wife and abandons his own children.
How badass as would it have been when Ned ask Ser Dayne why he wasn't protecting his prince instead of saying my prince wanted us here, he says I am protecting my prince
