The Others, or white walkers, are one of the biggest mysteries in Game of Thrones / ASOIAF. What are white walkers, and what are wights? How can white walkers be killed? And what do they want?

Errata:
7:56 George Martin has said that Westeros and Essos are not connected (SSM 1207). That was back in 2002, though – maybe he hadn’t written the Yi Ti and Five Forts stuff yet…

00:19 killed me
It's starting to look like the show is going to end with a war. I guess we'll see
So its wrong wights die by dragonglass in the show?
l don't think i'd be backing any truce that involves turning over human infants to those creepy bastids
I think bran is the night king. I recent episode the night king was depicted with an aquiline nose just like bran.
correction in the show obsidian ( dragon glass does appear to kill wights). Jon killed one if front of the meeting with a dragonglass dagger
The prediction that ends at 9:18 is literally the plot of season 7 though and not optimistic for s8
Should probably update this
Interesting video. I've always felt that Jon's ultimate destiny has nothing to do with the Iron Throne. Ice and Fire is about balance, and him having the (biological) parents that he has makes him the physical representation of that balance.
8:45 literally what's happening in the show right now. The writers are so fucking inadequate it's actually not even funny anymore
kinda crazy he predicted the end, but he was speaking sarcastically.
I like the part where he says it won't be that simple but it winds up being that simple
9:10 apart from rickon, everything else has pretty much happened in exactly the way your sarcastic voice described it!
The Soviet Womble?
I love how you jokingly said how all the good guys could come together to fight the evil and all will be right with the world 9:00, cuz that's the state the show's at right now 🙁
If whites can only be killed by fire and white walker by dragonglass , why on dragon pit the captured white was killed by john with dragonglass…? Was that a mistake or show s deviation from books…?
Watching this now and realizing that that sarcastic rant at 9 minutes is almost all actually happens lol
This guy legit just predicted half of season 7 2 years before it aired….
wow this was made in 2015 and I just finished season 7 and Alt Shift X basically predicted what would happen ahah
2:16 RIP dragon #3 ☹️
They just want to see how Euron puts his finger in Cersei's bum.
