But it was so bad ax nd didn't pay off shi. Dany goes crazy for no good reason Jon Snow doesn't even habe a good reason to come back to life. Every characters personality is butchered like Tyrion and Varys are dumb and useless now, Jon just turns into a wooden plank saying "I don't want it" over and over. I still enjoyed it cause everything except the writing is fantastic but its certainly not fitting lmao
@@DrayLoco, and that's the right reason to watch these, because they remind us that the books have the potential to be much, much better than the eminently forgettable TV series.
I could handle the show turning into a rushed joke with a pathetic ending tbh, but the really disappointing part is that we'll almost certainly never get an ending to the books. All these interesting mysteries and characters.... we'll never get an answer to them. GRRM seems to get less and less interested in finishing the books as time goes by, and he's certainly not got enough time left to write 2+ books at the rate hes going.
+knupder I think she has do her pfropercy, like She's from Pentos without any power, going east to Vaes Dothrak, gaining some dothrakis before losing them, then going East to Qarth gaining a ship, then going west to Astapoor, gaining Unsulied, Yunkai and then Meereen. lol idk what I'm saying
To me the "to touch the light you must pass through the shadow" bit reminds me of the saying "the night is darkest before the dawn." So it could just imply that in order to reach the "light" or a happy ending, she must first experience or do bad things (death, loss, etc).
Mick G. nah, by the time Khal Jhaqo, his entire khalasar and all his horses are done raping Dany to death breaking the hearts of all the little warrior princesses out there who luvz dem sum draguns her hot pie will look like the witch king of angmar went at it with his spiked Morningstar.
Russell Wiener I reckon the Dothraki all have tiny winkies though... why else world they compensate so heavily with curved blades, pony tails and leather pants?
Haha excellent point. You know I often forget that this entire universe and all the commentary I read surrounding it spans from the day dreams of a single guy. I need to step up my day dreaming.
Even that doesn't do it justice, he's used an incredible amount of well documented and detailed real history, along with a lot of mythical and legendary stories, mixed it all together with strong story writing and clever characterisation, and then produced incredible language and literary techniques to create a masterpiece.Phenomenal effort, time and patience to create something as detailed as this.

Vaes Dothrak is beneath the Mother of Mountains, meaning it literally is in the shadows. Dany will return to Vaes Dothrak with the Khalasar and pass beneath the shadow
John Johnson But why would she go there? What could she find in Vaes Dothrak? She needs her Dragons which are in Mereen and her children are also on the other side of Essos. I think it's unlikly she will go there, although the theory fits the prophecy. I think Dany will pass through Valyria (maybe on her Drogon) and find an artifact like Euron to bind her other dragons to her will. I think it was said in some chapter that Valyria is also clouded in Darkness, so I think it's more likely.
akrybion Vaes Dothrak have treasure of all the Dothraki conquests maybe A Dragon Binder is there too but the prophecy said that she will find the truth. Maybe the Old Khals wife knows something.
"To touch the light, you must pass through the shadow." "To make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs." Maybe it's just to say, "if you want to bring about a great change, you will have to commit some atrocities." 🤷🏼♀️
no they were connected to her all the time lol. she never became brutal. she punished slavers for hurting 163 slaves! others would have done worse. her dragons sense her emotions. all targaryen dragons in fire and blood book mentioned can sense happiness pain and cry of their master. not brutality only lol. dany was incredible woman in books! and was dealing tactfully with mereen rebels who wanted to brinf slavery back even then her dragon the largest called drogon hurt child due to which she literally chained her dragons. and drogon flew and fled away. its all not synonym to dany or the brutal nature of dragons is not even mentioned as bad thing in books. her dragons are obv not gonna be soft hearted good bois. they all have diff personalities. her one dragon is lazy but the other is so fierce and some are playful. they ONLY are brutal when they sense danger or threat to dany their mother. so idk the show already ruined her excellentjob by the two idiots D&D but these two things u said arent related. all targ ancestors and prev targaryens were more cold and brutal sometimes but their dragons or anyone isnt brutal independently or hurt people without reasonm by that logic stark direwolves are also v v dangerous and aggressive bcs they pick up the trait and emotions of their owners. or kids. but it isn't really true
@@armaghan6223 not really. fire and blood is not just a relation to their dragons and them only. its just slogan too for their house . this statement has duality too. fire and blood are v much needed against the real enemies beyond the wall.
We don't know that, because that is only shown in the show, and Quaithe's profecies appear only in the books. The two are very different, and we shouldn't mix them up.
George isn’t the type to deliberately hide details for the sake of preserving the twist, so I think if Quaithe really were Shiara, he would have given her the mismatching eyes. However, he’s talked before about how he forgets eye colours, so she might just be a victim of that.
Nah, that would definitely give her away. She probably used magic to change it. Mind you they think tyrion with mismatched eyes is a freak (and the conspiracy about the paternity of the lannister children and the mad king) and they would definitely put attention on her
Before the eggs were hatched, Dany kept telling herself "If I look back, I am lost." Now Quaithe says "To go forward, you must go back." The last time we saw Daenerys in the books, was when Khal Jhaqo found her munching at charred horse standing proudly beside Drogon. Jhaqo was of Drogo's khalasar, but left shortly before the hatching of the dragons. Perhaps Quaithe is telling her that she needs to win all of the Dothraki.
+LifeSaver996 It seemed that way to me at first, it honestly took me several tries to wrap my head around the books. But once you start learning who is who, who's important and who is a dead end (in GRR's world usually literally dead) and how the world of Westeros/Essos work, it does get much much easier and more interesting. I found even though i'd seen ALL the shows first, to me it did not make reading all the books less enjoyable at all. Books 1 and 2 are teh very best, 3 and 4 not quite but still essential to grasping the story, and 5 - well I'm looking forward to "Winds of Winter". If anything, you already know how the people should look like (the casting of the actors in the TV show is spot-on from the book descriptions and could not be better).
@@robertmaybeth3434 well people do look different in the books. caitlyn is more beautiful, bran and rickon look more like tullys, joff is bigger and very handsome, stannis and robert should be bigger, tyrion way uglier and so on.
That prophecy could also hint at the fact that Daenerys might have children in the future. The Sheep people's witch said "When the sun rises in the west, sets in the east, when the seas go dry and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves" Now Quaithe is saying something very similar, that Daenerys Has to go left to go right. Could that mean that she, by travelling upside down, might "see" the run setting in the opposite direction, and have her baby? Maybe by travelling to the opposite side of the world (not Asshai, but maybe Yi Ti) she i'll eventually reach a point where, just like in our hemispheres, things are reversed or something. All the other predictions are possible metaphors. Mountains blowing? Think about the Wall being destroyed by the Ice Dragon, it was like a mountain being blown by literal wind (of ice...and fire). Or maybe a vulcano. Seas going dry? Could be anything: a lake burning up because of some fire caused by man, some dragon, some vulcano. Some natural disaster like in Valyria. Maybe the Old Ones from the Iron Islands evoked by Euron Greyjoy. So maybe Daenerys might have a baby in the future and Quaithe is hinting on HOW she must do it. She must distrust all of those people and go "to" Asshai (but she might go to other far east places, like Yi Ti, where we know there is a Wall-Like fortress guarding the world from Dead People). I find it curious that Valyria is the "Fire" place, where Targaryens come from, but it also ended by having "The sea burning up" and mountains (palaces?) destroyed, dragons almost gone, and now it's a place where only stone men live, like an Old vulcano, once filled with Lava, now just stone. And the stone men are said to infect others by touch, like the Others. Also, they are said to be ruled by this king, who was once pure stone, kissed by a stone woman...that all looks like the Night's King to me. So isn't it a little strange that the place of Fire became the place of Stone (maybe Ice)? Could this be a destiny of Targaryens?
There is a theory that the witch was wrong and that dany was suffering a miscarriage in her last chapter, since there was a lot more blood than usual and she couldn't remember her last period. She may have been infertile before but I think that when she hatched the dragons it filled her with magic that erased the witch's magic
Implantedclub I honestly dont know how show watchers understand whats going on, surely they cant understand the history, the geography and all the possible links between different characters from watching the show alone.
I believe that by telling her "to reach the west, [Daenerys] must go east" Quaithe actually meant that she was not yet ready to go to Westeros, because she still lacked the forces and resolve she would eventually need to conquer the Seven Kingdoms, and had to literally find both those things in the opposite direction she was originally headed.
A video about who or what the White Walkers actually are would be nice. You could get into the Children of the Forrest connections and the story of the Night's King.
bruncla2303 There are plenty of theories about them being created by the Children of the Forest, them having some sort of aliance with the First Men, their relationship with dragons, if they're intelligant, whos leading the, etc. I'll admit that almost all of these are speculation, but there is actually a lot in the books that you can get ideas/conclusions from.
Legion Normandy Well, I read there's going to be more on them next season. As well as a scene about them that "will be bigger than Hardhome and will break the internet", so beware and brace yourselves....
I'm sure someone somewhere has said this, but "to touch the light, you must pass under the shadow," sounds a lot like the requirements for wielding the sword of light of Azor Ahai. I wonder if like so many others in this series, Dany must become immortal, or narrowly escape a true death (fire doesn't count, it wouldn't kill a Dragon) in order to complete the prophecy.
Very perceptive. I have read the books more times than I care to admit, but never did I connect Light-Bringer & that prophecy...Nor have I heard anyone else make that assertion....Well done, good stuff..
Another excellent and informative video. A couple of things that occurred to me, though. First, small correction: at 6:52 you mention the first Daenerys as one of Aegon IV's bastards, and that's wrong. She was Aegon IV's trueborn daughter, full brother of King Daeron II. Remember, she married Prince Maron Martell of Dorne as part of the pact to bring Dorne into the Seven Kingdoms, which could never have happened if she was a bastard. Also, could passing beneath the shadow be a reference to Drogon himself? The man whose daughter Drogon kills describes him as "the winged shadow", and scenes with Drogon (such as Daznak's Pit) frequently involve the passing of his shadow as the first sign of his presence. The change in Dany's personality you mentioned in Daenerys X ADWD comes soon after she rides Drogon for the first time, which could be what "to touch the light" refers to, since dragons "are fire made flesh". That last bit is admittedly a stretch, but the shadow part seems to fit.
Wolfeson28 Ah, damn, you're right about Aegon's Daenerys. Thanks for the correction. And yeah, Drogon might have something to do with 'passing beneath the shadow', but it's hard to fit that idea into the meaning of the rest of the prophecy.
Yes the shadow part means that she must embrace and live with and trust Drogon. In the final chapter she passes beneath the"shadow" . Meaning pretty much that Dany has earned Drogon's respect.!
Alt Shift X isnt drogon called "the winged shadow" at some point? so if drogons fire if "the light" passing beneath the shadow to touch the light might make sense. she did touch drogon's fire. she would be embracing her inner dragon. it could also be some sort of enlightenment in which she realizes what she must do because she passed beneath the shadow.
I like the idea of Drogon being the shadow. That would mean "passing" isn't meant in the walking way but in the passing a test kind of way. She has to earn Drogon's respect and recognition to "touch the light"; to fly.
Bloodraven and Shiera were on the same side... I guess it can mean that they're trying to bring Jon and Dany together to defeat the others... not actually to pit them against eachother.
I definitely think Quaithe and Shiera Seastar have a connection if they aren't the same person. But what's even more interesting to me is if you think about the idea of Ice and Fire you can fit Bloodraven and Quaithe (or Shiera or Shiera's great, great granddaughter or whoever she is) into Ice and Fire respectively as sort of prophets or guides to two major characters on the two sides of the world and the story.
You're burning through all these theories so quick it's hard to know which ones you haven't gotten too already. Ummm... There are small ones like the one about the maesters killing the dragons, who is the hooded man in WInterfell, what the hell happened to Tyrek Lannister (seriously though, Varys?). The only big ones left though are The Great Northern Conspiracy, Grand Tyrell Conspiracy, and Southron Ambitions. I guess you could do Frey pies as well, it's not really a mystery/theory (heavily implied in text) but it would still be fun to cover for the show watchers who don't mind book spoilers. There aren't many left anyway, lol.
supervegeta101 Has he done the fAegon theory? He briefly mentioned it in this video when he talked about the Mummer's Dragon, but I don't recall him making a video about it.
Theres allso a new popular theory, that says that, theres a dragon under hardhome, and how it couls change jon, bassicaly hardhome burned doen it was implied in the text by dragon fire an tje valyrians where there asswell as a oar of an imvassion plan
johncio91 The Grand Tyrell is one that basically says Loras is alive and well and only took a few, if any ships, to Dragonstone and that he took the rest of the Redwyne fleet to sail back to Shield Islands and protect the Reach from Iron born. Southron ambitions is more involved but the TL;DR version is that the Mad King was right to be paranoid. Rickard Stark was working with the other great houses to form an alliance to remove Aerys and make Rhaegar King. towerofthehand.com/blog/2012/01/05-southron-ambitions/
supervegeta101 Oh ok i had thought the grand tyrell was something to do with Margarey finally becoming queen. As for southron i had heard about this recently and did not know it had a name.
"To touch light you must pass beneath the shadow" she is saying that to go to oldtown (the lighthouse) you must pass beneath Asshai So she is saying that the world is a circle and that through east she can to westeros
I know you've done most of them, but do you plan to cover all the main theories that are floating around? I'd love to see a video where you talk about The Grand Northern Conspiracy (lengthy) and of course Coldhands.
When's the next video? You do amazing work. Few ideas that you could do great with: dragonglass theories or how you like or dislike the differences from the show and books.
I think you're amazing. Truly your videos are insightful, funny, and most importantly entertaining. Literally not enough praise i could give. Two question 1) how frequently do you post videos or do you just do it when time permits? 2) how do you decide on non GoT videos? I enjoy those as well. Maybe a video or traveling at the speed of sound or light?
marcialromero1218 Thank you (: I just post videos when time permits, aiming for at least one video per two weeks. I choose whatever topics happen to interest me - so yeah, maybe it's about time for another physics video...
Alt Shift X quaith was once in the army and jaemy was her square, jaemy talks about her in one of the episode and he said she likes to painting but she only uses the color red,after that it shows quaith painting using blood(red)
@Dalton K I really want to read the books mainly for all the far Eastern stories, legends, and heroes. They don't really talk about it in the shows I hope they do in the future prequels and other spinoffs.
@@vigzy77 It's Mordor, not Minas Morgul where one does not simply go. But no, it's not really like either of those places. I think in the first book when Drogo dies Jorah suggests going there and that alone does not really sound like it's this place where you go and never return.
I'd like a video exploring the connection between the Starks and their wolves. How their personalities and maybe more are reflected by the wolves and vise versa. Even if we don't have facts as much as curious observations to go by. Had a great time with this video, just like others. Thanks as always.
I love your videos just like everyone else here. Your explanations are thorough, well supported and easily understood, just great. What about a video on patch face and his nonsensical yet prophetic sayings? Or perhaps one on all of the song of ice and fire prophecies in general? Just an idea, either way I hope to see more!
It's a compelling argument. And there is decent evidence to support it. However, couldn't Quaithe also possibly be Ashara Dayne? Of course, for this to be possible, you would have to embrace the idea that R+L = D & B+A = J, involving a baby swap, and also explaining why Eddard's thoughts throughout his story line in the books focus so much on Daenerys (a Targaryan child he supposedly doesn't even know) but very little on Jon (supposedly his own son). And it would also explain why when Jon asked about his mother, he never said to Jon, "you are my son." Instead, he said "you have my blood." Meaning that at the Tower of Joy, Eddard found Lyanna in a bed of blood, having just given birth to...a white haired baby Targaryan girl, thus making the "promise" one to keep her safe and out of the reach of Robert, who had vowed to kill all Targaryans. Also meaning that Eddard couldn't very well return to Winterfell with a white haired Targaryan baby without raising a few eyebrows...meaning a baby swap with Ashara Dayne at Starfall, since Ashara had already given birth to a baby shortly before the alleged birth of Lyanna's child at the Tower of Joy. Now, many embracing this idea believe that this would clearly make Jon Eddard's son, because its believed that Eddard & Ashara had a thing. But at the tourney at Harrenhall, where Ashara allegedly got knocked up, if you recall, Eddard spent the evening in his tent with Howland Reed, because he had room in his tent for another since his brother Brandon hadn't returned that evening. Brandon was dancing with Ashara earlier that evening, while Ned, Howland, & his siblings were all busy devising plans of vengeance against the squires who had assaulted Howland earlier. So if she got knocked up that evening, it wasn't by Eddard. So Ashara giving birth to a dark haired baby, swapping the child for Eddard's new niece, and then faking her suicide to protect against anyone even thinking of looking for her OR the baby, makes much more sense. This would also clear the way for Ashara to travel to Ashai to study the various different magics to be learned there. It would also explain why, if she is actually Quaithe, that she wears a mask, as Ashara was also a very beautiful woman of note, and possibly easily recognized. Sorry for the extremely long explanation. I'm just a bit frustrated that the show hasn't played up Quaithe's significance as much as it is in the books.
the more i find out from the books the angrier i get at the show for not playing certain people but the show and book will most likely be very different from this season onw3ard
"In the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai, they say there are fields of Ghost Grass, with stalks as pale as milk that glow in the night, murders all other grass. The Dothraki believe that one day, it'll cover everything, and that's the way the world will end." Is north of the wall beyond asshai perhaps?
We think Quaithe is Ashara Dayne She would be the right age Daynes are also associated with Stars (Dark Star Star of the Morning) Whose body was never found Went to Ashai for shadowbinder training Learned how to use Dragonglass candles knew Dany as a small child in Dorne B4 Pentos which explains the recurring dreams about lemon trees as a child. Would unify many plot points and the Dornish master plan.
There could also be more to the "To go forward, you must go back" idea. The Dothraki will obviously take Dany back to Vaes Dothrak to follow their traditions concerning the widows of the khals, and Vaes Dothrak is east of both Meereen and her ultimate goal of Westeros. And considering the fact that she is almost certainly going to meet Jon suggests that she is going to start her invasion of Westeros in the south, but then goes north to join/meet Jon. Also, going back to her roots doesn't necessarily mean that Dany is going to become a villain, just that she's going to be a conqueror
Another great video :) Even though it's kind of a minor theory, could you cover the theory about Loras Tyrell being alive and the suspicious events at Dragonstone? It'd be cool to see you give your take on some small theories or just dismiss them outright, so that they can stop plaguing my brain.
Alt Shift X would be awesome :) I'm glad we get to see much more of his character in the show and better understand his relationships with other characters as well, he always felt like a mystery to me when reading the books.
Alt Shift X you make the best videos. I like them before I even start because I know their going to be great, but please don't waste your time with Loras. Their are so many better things you could cover other than Loras Tyrell.
Another great video! Could you do a video on Melissandre, "The Red Woman" and her motivations, plots, and history? I would appreciate it if you could. If not, thanks all the same. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Well, she might want to help Danny because she brought dragons to life, and with them she seems to have awakened magic, so it comes to reason that a sorceress would want this, to make sure that magic returns as strong as possible (kind of an exact opposite to the supposed maester conspiracy, wich Marwyn also seems to be against, wich would explain why he and Quaithe/Shiera could be working together)
Make a video about the "Master Plan" of Doran Martell and how Daenerys Targaryen may be involved since its birth. Thank you, congratulations and keep up the excellent work in these videos!
You got 15000 views in one day dudd PUT MORE VIDEOS OUT WE LOVE YOUR STUFF! you and Preston Jacobs and red team review are my top 3 fav and have the most interesting and informative videos about GOT
She is literally saying she needs to go to Asshai, its not a play on words. After Quaithe says this, Dany asks what will she find in Asshai and Quaithe says 'Truth'. I dont know why we must reject this interpretation? We may not see Asshai in the books (I also don't buy this), but that doesn't mean Dany won't pass through without a POV chapter and tell of her journey when she reaches Westeros from the west.
Dany's always done what other people told her to. Go to this place, be with this guy, act like this, be this way, etc. She's been given more responsibility and expectations than anyone can handle. It seems more like what happened in the desert was her wake up call to take control of her life and stop trying to live up to other people's expectations.
Very good. I'd forgotten that bit about the dragon glass letting people enter dreams and create visions. Brilliant Pick of Destiny reference btw. Maybe a little video about what Dany saw at The House of the Undying. Like all the threes, "child of three" "three-headed dragon" "three fires, three mounts, three treasons." I'd be interested to hear your speculation on all that.
amazing vid! If you want to, please do some theories about VIctarion. There are so many rumors surrounding him and the potential for his plotline. The Dusky woman is euron, the dragon-binding horn, benerro, his crackling arm, poisoned gifts, all could be a good video
"to touch the light, you must pass beneath the shadow" could be as simple as "to accomplish true good, you must have a taste of evil and darkness". To conquer and to take over, she has to be capable of conquering, and all the things that come with it.
Wow, just wow. Your videos are always so informative and well thought through, especially with the extensive use of quotations. It must take you ages to find all those quotations and then piece together these theories.
That was cool. For the next one, please do Who Is The Hooded Man in Winterfell, since it's still a pretty big mystery and will probably be ok for shownlies since the whole Winterfell plot seems to be totally different in the show now...
+jltavare That could be, since everyone from Maester Luwin to Theon think Old Nan is just a jimmy big fibber and an "old bat" and that her tales are just so much nonsense. Yet every tale Old Nan told the Stark kids turns out to be correct sooner or later. She mentions the white walkers, the "long Night that lasted a generation (20 years)" mammoths and giants and the Children of the forest. None of the adults believes her tales. Yet as we get more into the story, there they all are. And back to her identity - there is no mention of Old Nan's fate, after Theon took over Winterfell. Her body is never found, nor is she ever mentioned again. Old Nan just disappears.
+jltavare I like that a lot. I think Bloodraven and Old Nan are really the villains. Old Nan manipulated Willis to unleash The Great Other, Hodor. Bloodraven is manipulating Bran to use the dragons against the human armies. Bran wargs into a dragon, flies down towards the battle, then suddenly recognises Jaime Lannister goes beserk.
+Jago Sevetar I read a theory about the end game that sounds very plausible. Dany will fight for fire, Bran will be the representative for the Others for ice, and Jon will be the ultimate mediator of the two.
ekeb1 The valyrian sword Truth is only mentioned once, in A World of Ice and Fire, so it's hard so say weather it is considered "lost" in the same way as Brightroar or Lamentation, but from the readers perspective the whereabouts of Truth is certainly not known.
Maester Aemon: I'm the oldest person in Westeros Shiera Seastar: Well I'm not in Westeros Bryden Rivers: And I'm not what you would call a person anymore
Juicy review! :D For a future topic (involves spoilers from up to the same ADWD chapters): Did Mirri Maz Duur intentionally kill Drogo and his and Dany's unborn child way back in AGOT by applying false medical care to his wounds or when casting the blood ritual, or did she not at all, and had her instructions been heeded things would have turned out rather differently for Dany. Also - in the last Dany chapter of ADWD, did Mirri's "When the sun sets in the East" prophecy complete, and what might be the consequences of it if it has?
Andris Stafeckis Not Drogo, he did of being pig headed. She said don't drink, he got hammered. She said keep the wound clean and change the bandages, he smeared mud in the wound and mocked her. He died of an infection, but I think she did kill the baby intentionally.
Andris Stafeckis How do you explain the description of the child when Danny awakes. If the description was correct and the skin was falling off the child was already dead.
johncio91 Mirri also said that if the shadows are dancing, no living people is allowed to enter the tent. Jorah entered the tent with Dany and her unborn child...
Andris Stafeckis As supervegeta101 said before, Drogo's death was mainly his own doing but I would think Mirri did not want the "Stallion Who Mounts The World" to be born (after what happened to her and her people it's understandable) so she made sure Rhaego won't survive. It was essentially a "would you kill baby Hitler in his crib" kind of deal and she did not hesitate to pull the trigger. Dany asking for a blood magic ritual to save Drogo was a convenient excuse to get rid of them both.
I love watching your videos. I do not read books becouse I cant find any in my country, but when I watch your videos I see that you are only puting stuff and quotes from books. I now realise how little I know about Game Of Thrones. Really like them, I see that GoT world from show is like 3% from books and much more diffrent. You are awsome!
Pass beneath the shadow to get to the light could just mean that she has to make a decision which will cause a lot of misery and darkness first, before it leading to ultimate improvement and have ultimately positive consequences, which would fit the fire and blood thing.
Your videos are awesome, i haven't read the books so know i know that they didn't handle this properly in the show, we never see Quaithe after Dany leaves Quarth, and now the season 5 finale makes more sense
These are such great videos. Easy to follow, informative, and objective. I would love to see one about the Grand Faceless Man Theory and the Grand Tyrell Conspiracy.
Love the videos I think they are great. I like how you give all the evidence not just ones that back up the theory or claim. You should do a video about coldhands. Also some other interesting video ideas are Maggy and her prophesy, dragon glass and dragonsteel, the white walker king from the show, and the nights children. Maybe the horn of winter? (not sure if that's the right name. It's the one that supposedly will bring down the wall if blown.)
I like your theories. They're well thought out. In regards to the quote from Quaithe and the line "To reach the light you must pass under the shadow" I don't know why but I have always assumed this meant to win the throne she must meet (i.e. Pass under the shadow... Of) another Targaryen (a dragon casts a pretty big shadow after all). Of course the dragon has three heads... This is probably all totally wrong but it's fun to theorise.
Hey I just realised that Quiathe was painting something on someone's back to 'protect' him while he travels through The Doom. Do you think she could also have cure for Greyscale? will Jorah meet her again?
When Dany says: "If I look back I'm lost", that's when she does something decisive. She also said that when she burned drogo and the Maegi, when she gives weapons and gifts to her bloodriders, etc. She says that a lot.
Alt Shift X Some people have a theory that Melisandre could be the daughter of Brandon Rivers and Shiera Seastar. Now viewing your video on Quaithe...im thinking thats possible. What do you think? Could you do a video on Melisandre's background?
So we're doing Aegon the Unexpected origins for sure next time, right? ..........right? Come on, I need the theory explained with a eloquent vocabulary, precise editing and a pleasant voice instead of my saying "Well, there are these people called the Blackfyre's, they're some Aegon's bastard's descendants. Oh, then there was a fellow named Aerion Targaryen, he might be involved somehow. And well, there you have it, right?"
Day 2: The video-author has liked this comment and I am growing hopeful, but my better judgement tells me this has happened before and nothing is guaranteed.
