This was a fun video to make – more of a storytelling exercise than an intricate theory analysis. But there’s still plenty of prophecy and mystery in there… and lots of cool little connections to the main series. It was fun using imagery from the graphic novel – in a similar process to the Watchmen video.

With The Hedge Knight done, we’ll continue with The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight – have already done most of the necessary reading and research.

We’re also considering a video about Raised By Wolves, a cool new sci fi show on HBO. Raised By Wolves is about space colonisation, religion, robots – all that good stuff. Feels a bit like Westworld, in terms of ambition and budget and themes – so it’s ripe for an Explained video once the season’s over.

Also, did you see the news about possible signs of life on Venus? We could make a non-fiction video exploring perspectives on Venus from ancient mythology, pop culture, and modern science – similar to the recent disaster & religion video.

I still wanna do a His Dark Materials video. And there’s also a cool lil video about a sci fi story called All Tomorrows coming…

So I’m not sure what order these videos will come in, but they’re all gonna be really cool!

Thanks for your support

PS: There's an Easter Egg at the end of this video!
