  1. I just relizedd something every thinks the mad king went mad cause bran was whispering in his ear but maybe it was quaite Tyrion actually will want to help Dany like for real so much so in fact he tricks aegon aka young Griff into bouncing back to westoros early what if quithe drove the mad king mad and she is trying to do the same to Danny I think more on this subject but it seems kind of tin foil so I'll remain silent

  2. Maybe to touch the light [To be a good queen, mother of her people] she must pass beneath the shadow [slaughter and burn hordes of enemies, some of which won't be evil like Cersei or the Yunkish slavers]?

  3. I always thought the whole "To move forward, you must go back" was referring to Dany returning to Dragonstone, her birthplace. That's where her life started and that's where she will finally be able to start her take back of the throne.

  4. I don't think the show has enough time to go into such depth. They have too many relationships to tie up in season 8. All these questions might get answered in the last book, but not on the show. I doubt we will even see Quaith again.😟😔

  5. Two years later after the end of season 7 and this makes a hell of a lot of sense still, Dany did indeed go back to Fire and Blood and return to Westeros. Unfortunately we haven't seen Jon Connington and Aegon Blackfyre and likely wont in the show, damn it GRRM don't die before you finish The Winds of Winter!

  6. 3:43 the lion is tyrion. So could that mean Tyrion could or will betray her? There's a new theory out there after the S7 finale that implies exactly that. Would fit, because he could've made a secret deal with cersei. We didnt saw that scene to the end. And Tyrions look at the end with jon and dany is also strange.

  7. When they say the "mummer's dragon", everyone is assuming that Aegon might not be the real Aegon. However, I'm thinking that the "mummer" refers to Varys and Aegon is his dragon. This would mean that Aegon has the proper claim to the iron throne and therefore threatens Dany's claim to the throne. Perhaps that's what she needs to beware.

  8. I have been waiting this season for more explanation of what happened in Qarth. I dearly hope that the writers of the show have not forgotten about the house of the undying or the mysterious woman in the red mask. I interpret the house of the undying to mean that Dany will burn the red Keep and ride shortly after that into the night lands with Drogo. But Quaithie, who knows. I read the books, but you were clearly paying way more attention to the visions Dany had than was. Love your thoughts on this.

  9. Could that quote of going north by going south refer to the possibility that the grey waste is linked geographically to the land of always winter? Is it possible that Dany will end up there in the last two seasons of the show as Jon and the armies of Westeros man the Wall and Dany and the armies of Essos man the Five Forts bordering the waste?

  10. If Shiera is Quaithe that would make a reasonable amount of sense, even is Shiera is a hundred odd years old. In season 5 (or 6 can't remember) of the TV show, we see Melisandre's true form. She's a withered woman who uses her necklace to maintian her youth. She must be at least 100 years old.

    If Quaithe and Melisandre both practice the same type of shadow magic, then perhaps Quaithe has an artifact similar to the necklace that Melisandre wears.

    Either that, or it is possible that Melisandre is Shiera, and Quaithe is someone else entirely.

    Also maybe Melisandre and Quaithe are working together. I keep going back to when Melisandre talks to Jon Snow at Castle Black, they were talking about how Jon still loved Ygritte, and as Melisandre leaves she says "You know nothing, Jon Snow." just as Ygritte used to say to him.

    Perhaps Melisandre was using a glass candle to enter Jon's dreams to find a way to get him to trust/ follow her, and she was a dream of Ygritte saying "You know nothing, Jon Snow."

    Or Quaithe could be linked to Jaqen H'ghar and the 'Many faced god'. When she meets Jorah, he asks her who she is and she replies "No one."

  11. it's interesting looking back at some of your earlier videos after all this time! I'm hoping we might eventually see/hear more from Quaithe / Shiera Seastar (maybe) at some point…

  12. So, could it be that the song of Ice and Fire is the sound of clashing Valyrian blades of "Ice" and "Blackfyre"? (Regarding the prophecies of Azhar Ahai.) Another important, but glossed over phrase here, is the "wake fire from dragonglass" – it seems to me that this will turn out important with the prophecies of the Undying (the three sets of triple things). (..as well, as with the battle of against the White Walkers of course.)
