Cersei and Taena, Part 2

Our discussion of the Merryweathers continue as we do a deep dive into Cersei's small council chapter, Cersei IV, AFfC. What we find may surprise you as it connects to Tyrion III, ASoS, and Paxter Redwyne, of all people.

Preston Jacobs after his epic Night's Watch Series: "In the future, I will be doing a couple of oneshot videos"
Also Preston: "See you in Part 3"

the small council meetings were just comedy gold.

Tywins voice eerily sounds similar to Stannis's voice, confirming my suspicion that stannis is Tywins secret child

Illyrio has Runceford Redwyne's private stock in his cellar. Coincidence? I think not.

"In the end, Tyrion chose a cask of strongwine marked as the private stock of Lord Runceford Redwyne, the grandfather of the present Lord of the Arbor."

I like how your Taena voice is the same as your Daario voice: French

The irony that Cersei doesn’t like Pycelle and thinks he’s incompetent yet he gives the best advice

[theletterm]

Love that Preston is still coming up with original content, almost nine year after the last book was released. Preston has done more to keep my interest in ASOIAF going than GRRM ever could. Well done, Ser.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say Taena's lying about the Redwyne twins. They could be flirting with Margaery's cousins in order to get close to Margaery; they can't court Margaery because she's married, so her cousins are the best way to be near her. And Ser Osmund doesn't specify who the twins are bringing gifts for.

Preston: "hinting at an epic conspiracy" Also Preston: "we'll see you next time" Me: Give me the info!!!"

I'm a simple man...
I see a new Preston Jacob video.
I watch it.

lmao how is that a "cersei and taena" discussion turned into a multiple part video series based on shrewd political analysis? i'm invested!!

The crack about the Golden Company "fighting for the losing side" probably has more to do with their 0-4 record in Westerosi invasions, rather than Stannis. (Either way, it's a downplay -- but that way it's more of a slam against the Company, "proving" his "loyalty" against Blackfyre rebellions.)

I think it'd be interesting if Walder Frey dies of his own accord. Like, he's not murdered or killed and nothing bad is directly involved with his death. It'd piss off a lot of characters and readers. Though I don't think George would do that. Also, I think Winds of Winter is at least 1, 500 pages by now.

oh heck yeah let's delve way too deep into fictional strangers' love lives 🤘

[TheMamazur]

It is a huge stretch to assume that wanting to do nothing about the Vale during Tywin's small council is an anticrown position. Because of all the reasons you've mentioned there is no chance for Lysa backing up the Crown against Robb's case. So as long as the Vale stays neutral it's a success for the Crown. Doing anything may cause Lysa to start acting and that would probably benefit the North. It's better to "let her be".

I was reminiscing about the finale of Game of Thrones last night only to realize in the middle of my fond look-back that I was remembering your rewrite, lol. You're awesome, Preston!

[AbiShoukathAliA]

Stayed awake just for this. My wish is granted.

[lollicupkate]

Also, the level of detail you put in is awe-inspiring, but I still can't understand how Arianne becomes Arianna every time lol 😅🙃

[LordKeram]

I love how during the Cersei chapter during the small council meeting it's perfectly clear that she is not fit to rule the kingdoms despite and in large part exactly because of her own deluded idea of how smart she is. Pycelle for the coward he is. Still gives very good advice, there is a reason he was able to keep his position for so long. If Cersei literally just listened to everything he suggested she would at the very least not make anything worse and even improve some things a little. But instead she pushes her own ideas without any thought as to the consequences. And she seems to enjoy young handsome men too much as well.

Preston, I think Lord Merryweather was silent on Frey issue because he wants Aegon to rally Riverlands against Freys and get the support of Stark and Tully loyalist if Lannisters punish Freys then Aegon can't get their support easily.
