I've worked out a big conclusion for the Varys vid, an interpretation of Varys as a character that I haven't seen presented anywhere else. It's basically the idea that Varys may not be as much of a cold, rational, utilitarian manipulator as he seems – that if certain theories are true, he might actually be doing what he does out of a kind of familial love for Aegon, Illyrio and Serra.
It's maybe a bit tenuous, but a pretty interesting perspective to take – and it's part of a broader analysis that's mostly pretty well-grounded in textual evidence.
Point being, the script continues to improve, and I'm still aiming to get the video done by the end of Feb, maybe early March.
Cheers!
