The idea of F'aegon being ousted by the dragons not accepting him seems a great idea echoing Quentin Martel's folly as you say. I can imagine it then leading to Jon being accepted by the dragons later in the story, as was shown in the show but with greater weight and significance. (Bonus points if Drogon the black's dragon fire engulfs F'aegon the last Blackfyre)
Wow love the shout out to the writers! I also love hello future me! Thanks for keeping up the great content. I always catch the streams later and hugely enjoy them
I was looking at the merch and wondered where "Kraken Tacos" came from. If there's a video or something where that origin is mentioned could someone point me to it? Thanks!
I always assumed dunc's secret would come out with egg asking him to be the one to knight him as he's played the part of his squire for so long. Then Dunc will have to fess up!
I have an idea that may support the theories of Dragonstone. Since the architecture of the castle depicts dragons throughout perhaps the cache of dragon eggs is hidden/ embedded within the architecture itself. A sort of "hidden in plain sight" approach. Which in turn explains why Stannis never found the cache. Somehow Mellisandre knows of this which leads to her statement of using fire to awaken the dragons of Dragonstone
Me too mate nothing like another grown man putting another grown man to sleep with his terrific voice and intellect. As soon as I hear his voice lights out and that's with no disrespect at all I'm not saying he puts me to sleep by being uninteresting or anything just that voice and way with words
When it comes to (f)Aegon, getting him on the throne is probably Ilyrio's endgame if the theory is correct, but what about Varys. Even if everything falls into place and he's a "good king" for the next 50 years, what then? Succession has always been one of, if not the, biggest problems. They can't keep sending princes away to live as commoners. Some king is bound to die early and the successor could be underaged, controlled by a regent for example.
Varys is Saera's brother, it seems fairly certain. It's pretty clearly indicated that Varys does not, in fact, serve the realm. He's actively worked to destabilize it several times, when he could have done the opposite regardless of who sat the throne. He helped Illyrio make fAegon the best king possible, yes, but only because he wanted his family to endure.
Is that cyvasse game between young Griff and tyrion some sort of foreshadowing for Faegon's ? He lost the game, then lost the temper and then threw the board along with pieces. I think dragon piece was involved in defeating young Griff.
Could you address, maybe in the next livestream, how your upload and streaming schedule will change after 'The Winds of Winter' will drop later this year?
53:35 - One idea I've considered is that the House with the Red Door is in Pentos (or Tyrosh) and Dany will end up sacking the city with Tatters and destory the house with the red door accidentally in the process, presumably burning it down with dragon fire. Symbolizing how far she's slipped away from the old Daenerys and how far she's slipped away from peace and into fire and blood
1:49:55 - I think what upset Tywin was also the way in which the mountain did it. Smashing Aegon's head and raping his mother with the brains still on his hands was no doubt a horrifying story to hear, even for a man as brutal as Tywin. I think Tywin's idea was more "They'll go in there, smother to kid with a pillow and that'll be it." Elia didn't have to die at all, just her children. In fact, Elia dying was actually bad for Tywin and Robert as it estranged the Martells from them more than they wanted. But Tywin didn't yet realize what a monster Clegane was and... well, Clegane did it differently.
1:50:15 - I think the defensiveness is also a hint of a conscience. It's "Look yes, it was bad but I was justified and I have these excuses." Both as part of a way to kind of molify his negative feelings about it. Tywin is ruthless but he's not as heartless and ruthless as he usually presents himself. Deep down there is some sort of conscience.
Somebody is DEFINITELY going to die on the spikes of the dry moat in the Red Keep. It has happened at least three times in Fire and Blood that I can recall - Maegor's wife Ceryse Hightower, queen Helaena, and (if I'm not mistaken) someone like Ser Alfred Broome, one of the men in Unwin Peake's fold when Aegon III holds fast in Maegor's. I think there were actually more, at least one. It's a smoking gun, especially when considered alongside that scene where Joffrey menaces Sansa next to the dry moat. In any case, Ceryse and Helaena were both suspicious, as was the death of Daena (name?) Velaryon, brought in to the Red Keep to marry Aegon III but killed by poison. Each time, the only way these girls could have died was if somebody close to them betrayed them. The potential killers of the two queens are harder to trace, but Daena's household runner, Lord Unwin's widowed aunt, was suspected but cleared of charges. I think any parallels we look for in ASOIAF necessarily have to involve the people in power near to possible victims like Tommen. For that reason, I think the obvious theory is that Ser Robert will defenestrate him onto the spikes around Maegor's. The less obvous theory is that somebody like Cersei or even Mace will be implicated in a plot to kill Tommen simply by their proximity to him, not whethere either has a real motive. And one last point: Helaena clearly took her own life. That possibility is presented as a hush-hush kind of thing by the maester writing about it, but it's pretty damn obvious that she was spiralling for very understandable reasons.
You talk a fair amount about egg poisoning, and I know you can kill eggs by rubbing lamp oil on them and suffocating them. I would never do that but it’s relevant to the story and relatively easy for maesters to accomplish.

I think the red of your shirt and green of the drapes is making the saturation go bonkers
These videos from you and lml are the only way I can fall asleep anymore... lol Thanks for the content.
Lml? Explain please

I can never catch these live since they air at 3am for me, but you better be sure that I'm putting it on as soon as I'm awake :)
Wow love the shout out to the writers! I also love hello future me! Thanks for keeping up the great content. I always catch the streams later and hugely enjoy them
Would love to “visit Essos” and talk about Braavos etc especially since Arya is still over there training with the Faceless Men.
That’s the next one 👀
Not sure how you'll continue this, but moving onto Essosi regions would be great

Same!!

Hot Pie knew the truth, he had armor soooo...he was a knight.

Joined for the first 30 seconds and said nah I better wait till I go to bed..... the time has come
I love falling asleep to these too!

I usually try to watch these live but I always fall asleep and have to rewatch it. IDG you have missed your calling
Appreciate the shoutout Robert! Check your DMs)
Would love your videos in podcast form! I rarely watch but just listen. You'd be saving my battery since I'd be able to close my screen
Viserys was Targ and burned so why is that the measuring stick for Faegon?

'Did a Maester push Aegon into Summerhall' Yes! Maester Aemon.
Last one in Westeros. Essos here we come!

Nothing to do with the livestream but would love to know people's opinions on the new show announcements.
Can you do a video on dragons and how the targaryen control them and why couldn't the targaryen in Westeros do magic
wildfire was plot imperative....truly bloodraven?
Hello

Rome wasn't built in a day. Actually, 300 years sounds just about right. ...
The pandemic hair is back!
