Rhaegar: Lyanna I love you!
Lyanna: Ow Rhaegar you're more of a brother to me...
Rhaegar: That's all I wanted to hear.

Took 3 seasons for Sam to get to Oldtown (and Gilly's baby hasn't aged a day), took 1 episode for Varys to go from Mereen to Dorne and back to Mereen.

Bear Island knows no GoT review but the GoT review from Alt Shift X, whose voice is awesome.

Row, row, row your boat, Gendry down the stream.
Row, row, row your boat, ever since season 3.

I lost it when he said: Jon is Game Of Thrones's Jesus..

[Kenz]

Technically, Jon didn't desert the Night's Watch. He fulfilled his oath when he died, "His watch has ended".

[robertmaybeth]

Plot twist, Tommen left Ser Pounce as his heir, Lannister politics thrown in disarray

[Mufasanchez]

Thank you everyone at Alt Shift X. The fact that you guys take so much time and effort to make these videos for us means a lot. Congratulations on the growth of fans and subscribers!

[sschuster]

yep ... all those nice sounding theories ... meanwhile D&D threw the whole 8th season out the window Tommen style.

[radry]

Jon did not desert the nights watch. He died and thus he was released from his vow.

[yellowsausage]

What priest can resist following a little boy into a dark sound proof cellar. Right?

[maxb]

That Daenerys and Bush comparison had me on the floor haha! 10/10

[alienapplex]

Also he's technically not a deserter because of the whole dying thing

[SheriffBadge]

Technically, Jon didn't abandon the nights watch. His watch did end...

[Rmeister]

i dont write comments, like ever. This is the most thorough and graphically intuitive explanation of an episode I've ever seen. I tip my hat to you sir

[rushabhbhakta]

"Mel tells John to check his privilege..."

Ok, you win, I died.

[ilanacruger-zaken]

"Mel told him to check his privilege." Perfect.

[irispostema]

You are the best explainer ever, thank you for making these videos!

[pheresy]

Just have to comment on Jon's battle scene. The director didn't go the easy route of using hundreds of cuts then pasting them together into a simulated impression of battle. They took the high road. They carefully choreographed the fighters, then filmed the action from a fixed point for a long duration. It is just gorgeous to behold. It was really well done without the need to fake it.

King Tommen was crowned on the last day of summer
And he died on the first day of winter

I guess you could call him the FALL king! :)
