  1. What mirri maz dur says: keep the bandages on, dont drink, do not go into the tent while i cast my spells.
    What drogo does: tear his bandages of and shove mud in his wounds and get drunk every day.
    What dany does: go into the tent while mirri casts her spells.
    Consequences: drogo dies and dany loses her child.
    Conclusion: drogo and dany are idiots that had it coming.

  2. This is getting even better. I hope you guys also address the significance of Mirri Maz Duur having some training in healing by Archmaester Marwyn, one of the only Maesters who possess a link for studies in the higher mysteries. His immediate attention to Dany in Dance leads me to believe that the mages’s encounter with Dany was not by chance. After all Mirri Maz Duur was necessary encounter to wake the dragon.

  3. I am obssessed with your chanel your content is amazing. But who is Old Nan and why does she know everything? I can smell dragons? Wtf?! Please elaborate on a video, if you haven't already that is. Thank you!

  4. Mentioned the Drogo is a weird khal, and mentioned that they are his mansion in Pentos, but no mention of how strange it is that a KHAL AS A MANSION?! they don't settle, build mansions.

  5. Whan I saw your video about R+L=J not being true, at first I thought you guys are nuts, now I am fascinated by your channel and can't stop waching your videos. Love you theories guys, keep up the good work, you got me!

  6. do you consider that the dragon fetuses are warging Dany in AGOT? that explains why her personality changes after each dragon dream. it explains why immediately after the dream she and her horse share one mind: the dragon teaches her to skinchange the horse. it explains why she "becomes the dragon" in book 5, it mirrors the rickon being overwhelmed by the wolfs mind. it explains why drogon appears at the fighting pit: she has a skinchanged link (barristans noise explanation is less than ignorant).

  7. "In bad faith"? She told Dany not to let him drink alcohol…or take the dressings off…he removed the dressing, shove mud in the wound, and got drunk on mare's milk. I'm not saying she was innocent…but I think she was trying to curry favor by healing him and he turned it into a cluster f!@#. I think GRRM is trying to use an example of taking our bad decisions and imposing them on someone else… Dany got her own husband killed (similarly to Catelyn), Dany got her child killed (similarly to Catelyn) she kicked Dany out of the tent and Jorah carried pregnant Dany back in…I think Miri Maz Dur was trying to protect Dany and Co from her magic…it was human stupidity that wrecked it…that is GRRM's true theme

  8. I know this is off topic, but are the modern Starks the only honorable ones? AWOIAF says Theon Stark took revenge on the andals and burned three villages and hundreds were put to the sword and put on a spike. Isn't that alike to Tywin? What are your thoughts on this

  9. its from the shadow, not a shadow… so i think you stretch a bit there… i think the children of the flames makes me relate to the children of the forest… the first people… with no name.. they call themselves the ones who sing… so like not really a name.. just kinda came eventualy…

  10. I think it's possible that Mirri's intention was not so sinister. In her defense, Drogo fails to follow her medical advice about properly dressing the wound. In addition, as you mentioned, she warns that no one must enter the tent as she works. Sure enough, this is ignored as both Jorah and Dany enter as she works on Drogo. Perhaps if her instructions had been heeded, the outcome would have been different.
