Here’s the new video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzaPWAwEXb4 

This is an early Patron-only version – it's all yours until the public release, in a day or two.

It’s great to get back to roots with a Game of Thrones video – this one’s a mix of lore and theory. It includes a few new subtle visual effects, and some really nice artwork. Hope you like it!

With the Doom done, we're moving on to the Expanse 🚀

Thanks for your support!

Nice geese joke 👌

Antje Dros

Also very good video, and indeed AMAZING artwork! I really missed the GoT videos, as I don't watch any of the other shows you've been covering recently 😅

DscoDan

Another amazing video! I wonder whether there was a forcing function to the incest. Maybe it's just you don't get white hair. :P Also, the whole incest stuff totally changes the way I see the early episodes with Viserys. He not only was selling his sister but likely his future wife or maybe he feels he can make other white haired babies.

So nice to have you back in asoiaf territory. You do other things well, but this is what you do best.

Ragnar

Omg, our heroes are descendants from Magic Fantasy Nazis. This changes everything 😱🤯😳

Zach Whiteman

Woah! I got a shoutout, thanks dude, also thanks for the video. I love the mystery around this so it was very cool

Stephanie M

Clear, concise, and a sprinkle of speculation! This came together beautifully! The introduction wasn’t too long but had enough information for non book readers to follow along. Thanks for another awesome video.

Man, another reason to be terrified of the ghees-cari. Those are some mean birds!

Erik Haake

Another really great video. But what an even more amazing series of books that you can pull out that much beautiful, poetic, interconnected subtext from it. I've read the books so many time and thought I understood these areas pretty well, but I keep being surprised. Cheers!

Every time you think you know it all, you dig a little deeper, and find new details and connections in ASOIAF.. GRRM is amazing
