Review² 2: Giants and the Living Dead

Here comes the second installment of our episode review.



This episode did raise a lot of questions, especially concerning Aeron Greyjoy, the High Sparrow, the dragons and, of course Hodor. Check put the video!

Melisandre's identity

So, here is a quick idea.

Melisandre is Daenys Targaryen.

Okay, let's talk about the facts:

She is roughly 400 years old, if Carice van Houten didn't lie back in 2012. (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/04/game-of-thrones-melisandre-how-old-season6-episode-1-red-woman)

She is connected to fire, Dragonstone and prophecy.

We don't know if of how Daenys the Dreamer died.

I mean, Melisandre seems to be extremely important. Is she just a random 400-year-old person? Or is she a historical figure? If we decide that she is most likely not just a random woman, Daenys seems a pretty good guess, no?

It has begun

The new season of Game of Thrones has finally arrived, and now we are also right in the middle of the action. Life of Brienne is the title of our most recent video. It is the first part of what we call "Review²", the review that also takes the internet and the media overall into account. We hope, you like that approach.

Season 6 preview

As season 6 draws inevitably closer, we focus further on the show. This time, as a little preview, I am making seven bold predictions (in honor of the Seven, of course).

New video on GoT trailers online!

Here is our first video strictly concerned with Game of Thrones. We have a look at all the seven trailers/teasers/promos or whatever else they are sometimes called. See below.

What's wrong with Euron Greyjoy? (Last episode)

Here is the third and last episode of What's wrong with Euron Greyjoy? If you want to know, how we see Euron's actual plan unfold, look no further!


Special thanks - as usual - to Sir-Heartsalot for his great artwork!

The real Varys

Broadly speaking, there are two camps: Those who believe when he says that he supports Aegon Taragryen, sixth of his name, and those who think his protégé, Young Griff, is not really who he claims to be, but rather some kind of Blackfyre spawn. That's all well and good, but it is not the whole story.

No matter which of these two camps you are in, the last we see of Lord Varys in the epilogue of A Dance with Dragons raises two questions that need to be answered, if we are to from a valid opinion on the eunuch. I try to give answers to these questions in the video below.


Special thanks, as usual, go to Sir-Heartsalot for his incredible artwork, especially, this time, for his fitting and also hilarious version of Varys that you can see below in all its untinkered with glory.
