I didn’t realize how little Jaime was in season 2 until you pointed it out. Another mark of a great show is feeling a character’s presence and importance even when they aren’t on screen. Definitely a solid 9.5/10 for sure.
yes, catelyn letting jamie go was objectively stupid and had catastrophic consequences, but you have to keep in mind that she genuinely thought she was going to save her daughters. most mothers would do the same thing. your football metaphor for it was not even close to comparable.
I do think you give Tywin a little bit to much "niceness" credit: I think the reason he shares food with her is that at that point there where already two people killed with poison at herrenhall. I think he wanted to know if his food is poisoned or not.
@@gfilmer7150season 4 is the most flawed from a moment from moment basis, but it has so many good moments its insane. Its the least perfect out of the first 4, but man it is so hype and fun
I’ve been loving these videos because I recently dove back into the Game of Thrones rewatch after season 2 of House of the Dragon and after finishing the audiobook for Fire & Blood. Being able to watch the series and look back at things that were hinted at in the later seasons was amazing. I think one thing that got better season by season was Ramin Djawadi’s music.
Can we all acknowledge that melisondra was the worst witch in fiction history. I’ve never seen someone be wrong so many times about “the chosen one” and keep bringing it up to everyone she meets 😂😂
I was in the Navy and we weren't allowed to don winter gear until a certain point, and, even then, couldn't wear hats until it got a certain temp, and, considering it's still summer there, and gonna get WAY colder, I get them not wearing hoods or hats..
The night's watch doesn't win again the white walkers at the end of the season. They get absolutely destroyed. Remember they went out with 300 watchmen and maybe 30 survive the battle. Only for those 30 to be killed or turn traitor later. The white walker attack really sets the stage for the wall to be so undermanned in later seasons with most of their best fighters killed at the end of this season. So yes there was absolutely a point to it.
Going hatless in snow was just stupid. But for me, the greatest mystery (in the books) was the deal with widow's peaks. Every new character seemed to have one, so it MUST mean something. Or maybe GRRM just couldn't think of any other type of hair...
As much as I agree how stupid it was for Caitlyn to release Jaime, personally I love her for it. If she hadn't released him, we wouldn't have Jaime's redemption arc and Brienne's character being prominent in the story. Also Robb surviving would have surely mean Sansa's death, probably behead her like they did with Ned just to spite Robb. So either way, all the Starks wouldn't have been reunited by the end, one way or another.
I'm sad I just discovered these videos now because I want to watch you discuss every season already lol, great recap and discussion! I also agree that Stannis was boring and his ending is so lame so I don't get why he had such hardcore fans.
39:10 NO. Even specifically looking at just this choice of Sansa over Margaery, still no. In my eyes, he was choosing Sansa because he still wanted to abuse a beautiful women/girl and Sansa was easier than trying to find a way to abuse Margaery. Sansa had no family to watch over her and the only people who would get in his way would be Cersei and The Hound, and only to save her to continue life as a hostage not to save her from all pain. Margaery not only had her direct blood family, she had a gaggle of hand-maidens who were all close friends and known gossips. I even think Joffrey preferred redheads as his subjects of abuse (in the show) because of how he went on to treat and kill Rozz. That birthday prostitute scene shows the emotional and physical abuse he subjected Sansa to on two separate women. The small, seemingly younger, mousey brunette got the physical while Rozz had the emotional of having to allow and perpetuate the physical.
Yeah, no game of thrones was hard to follow with so many characters and plot lines. The only way I actually finally understand the show was by dropping it after season 2. Reading the books then rewatching. And once you're not second guessing people's names yeah. Best show ever😭
Renly would have been the best king of the 5. He is loved by the people, has the support of 2 kingdoms on his own and realistically 5 if he allies with Robb, he is a proved politician (getting the Tyrells on board takes skills, even if he bangs the son). Would have won by a landslide without the magic tricks
29:00 Jaqen notably does not say he is from braavos, he says he is from Lorath, thus the strange accent and weird wording of sentences In the books Jaqen continues on to oldtown as Pate rather than go to braavos as he does in the show (thus supplanting the role of the “kindly man”)
13:00 It seems that in the earlier seasons atleast whenever the White Walkers attack, They leave one witness alive. They did the same thing in season 1 when they spared the guy Ned executed for desertion. The Night's Watch also lost that battle, and had to retreat.
31:00 queen regent formally outranks the hand of the king the only reason why it doesn't come across that way is that cersei defers to her dad (like everyone else) so can't oppose tyrion openly without making it look like she's going against tywin
Season 2 is when i was officially hooked on this show, i couldn't get enough of it!

God, I forgot just how fucking good Game of Thrones used to be. It really was peak television... until it wasn't.
The first few seasons still remain the most captivating television I’ve ever seen. Such a shame what happened to this show
It’s crazy, these videos are coming out in perfect sync with my rewatch of the show

FR, he's using too much cold logic. What Catelyn did was pure emotion and desperation. Anyone who has children will understand why she did it.
I do think you give Tywin a little bit to much "niceness" credit:
I think the reason he shares food with her is that at that point there where already two people killed with poison at herrenhall. I think he wanted to know if his food is poisoned or not.
The battle of Blackwater is what got my brother to watch the rest of the show with me
Best season in my opinion. Tyrion running King’s Landing just tremendous.
I’m a big fan of these game of thrones videos. I’m looking forward to them and hoping you do more asoiaf videos in the future
The battle is over….we have won. (Most badass ending ever)!
Ohhh Gwendoline got her credit, she’s the voice over for Civ 7 after Sean Bean did Civ 6! That says enough 💪🏻
I have this and Season 3 tied with a 9/10. Season 1 outpaces both with a 9.5/10.
And Season 4 is a 10/10 imo

Great video, would love to see you continue this series
ive been waiting for this GOT series episode 2. so thank you sir!
Ive been rewatching GOT
Currently on season 3
Best tv show ever
Until it wasn’t
@@Jp-1377 yeah the first 5 seasons were great. True Detective season one is probably my favorite single season of a show ever.
Season 6 aint so bad @@BatmanBoss
@@BatmanBoss my mate recommended true detective season 1 actually, been meaning to get round to it

ugh as a book reader and fan of stannis, his introductory season was great but just fell of so hard. hard to watch knowing what is coming 😂
id like to see your opinion of why the writing is better from the book or better in the tv show for the scenes in season 2
You gotta do a vid about the 100 🤝🏾
RESPIN THAT WHEEL DAMMIT don't curse my team 😫😫😥😥😥
Jaqen is Hodor.
GIVE ME MORRREE!!! Plz 😊
chop chop where’s season 3 analysis boy
how come you've never made a video about fear before not in a rude way just curious
Can you make an game of thrones theories video
Did you just say that some torture was justified? Wow calm down man

31:00 queen regent formally outranks the hand of the king
the only reason why it doesn't come across that way is that cersei defers to her dad (like everyone else) so can't oppose tyrion openly without making it look like she's going against tywin
