  1. THIS is how you theorise! Well done sir, while most channels are blurting out nonsensical hypotheses with no evidence to back up their claims, you go ahead and create a masterpiece like this with an in-depth breakdown from a non-biased viewpoint. Absolutely incredible stuff, have my insignifigant +1 sub for your research and efforts.

  2. Do you know about, and/or respect the deleted scene between Tywin and Pycelle where Pycelle confirms the fact that his weeping is a ruse and they have a conversation while Tywin butchers fish?

  3. I genuinely believe that at the very least, the Hightowers have long been manipulating events to gain the upper hand, and try to achieve the throne. Dance is a big example, but with the Faith and the Citadel both in Oldtown, they could be behind a lot of what has happened to the Targaryens throughout the years outside of the obvious situation with Alicent.

  4. That shocking moment when you realize that Tyrian is a Maester Pawn. See, he reads a lot… and they control the flow of information and what is written down. So everything he knows, thinks and believes is the product of Maester engineering. Though, surely they couldnt know he'd become Hand to the Queen of Dragons…

  5. When Ned is in Sisterton at the start of Robert's Rebellion, House Borell's Maester wanted Lord Borell to kill Ned Stark and present his head to Aerys, so unless the Sisterton Maester's were not in on the Conspiracy to topple the Targaryren's then that's a big piece of evidence against the Maesters wanting to get ride of the Targaryen's at least.
