Winter Is Coming Episode 1 Theories and Lore | Companion Podcast

man, i was really looking forward to this but it's really hard to listen to when your cohosts are too normie-tier and basic.

dudes totally ignored the TU-TU joke… 🙁

One of the things I look for in a rewatch is the symbolism, like the dire wolf killed by the stag. The Stag kills the parent wolf (Joffrey kills Ned), and the wolf children survive. Then I look for irony, like how Catelyn whines about Ned hiding the truth about Jon from her but how many things she hides or lies about to him. Gives a whole new perspective.

The two guys who didn't know anything about the show added nothing and ruined the video.

That Tu-Tu joke tho. :3

I appreciate the effort of going through all of the episodes again but Westworld guy is just painful to listen to with his tangents.

Love this series, but leave your friends out of it, please. They're just not on the hardcore fans' level.

I completely lost interest when guy said " wun wun had a cousin that liked ballet, his name was tutu" 🤢

Game of Thrones for Kindergartners! This is embarrassing…Elsa's castle??

+Brandi Lee – Thank you so very much for your comment regarding these co-hosts. I mean really, They are bringing focus to points which have such little consequence. Just a waste of time. You are right, it's like hearing a child discovering toys? "like a, what's the guy's name…) and "they basically tell us they are lovers and it just goes over our head"? I wonder whose head he is talking about. Please don't invite people who know so little about this show/these books. This man doesn't realize Lyanna and Robert were not married…"they were never married:??" Please don't do this again.

it reminds me of an eye… the symbol

What I noticed in the direwolf scene is that the stag, even though it dies is responsible for the direwolf"s death, in the same that Robert's death (stag) is responsible for Ned's (direwolf) death, and I guess in a way Ned's coming to King's Landing hastens Robert's.

Please NEVER have those other two on your channel again. My Mom has never seen the show but knows more about Game of Thrones than those two guys. PAINFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lived this soooooooo much!!!

co-host: "Is there a difference between a wight and a white walker?" If you are asking this question, you shouldn't be on this channel.

Spare me the WesterWorld comments, im here for Game of Thrones!

My favorite channel. love the idea of going one by one: S1 E1!!!

i havent read thru all the comments so i dont know if someone caught this. but they comment that ned and the group left befor bran fell. they were gone. but hunting. they left in episode 2 because ned and jon say goodby to bran while he is unconscious

the hand that Jamie pushes Bran out the windows with, is the same hand he loses, its also his sword hand, his identity

The symbol of the arrangement is a symbol the Others used it a few times in the show (not in the books). The Others used it for the pieces of the Wildlings and pieces of the Night's watch's horses. Then Sansa is wearing that symbol when her and Littlefinger left the Erye. That symbol is actually a really cool Easter egg from one of GRRM's other books, " In the House of the Worm ". It's called a Theta.

Those mindless zombies, I think of them as zergs from starcraft. They're controlled through a telepathic link by the white walkers. So, it's like a hive mind, controlling zergs.

u peopld thinks tooo much..dnt need much

I liked the longer format.  I do admit to doing things in the background during this one but I love the discussion and I felt like I was part of a round table listening to it, much like it was a DVD commentary.  Quite enjoyable.  I'm a huge fan of the channel and love how well you weave all of the lore into your videos.  I like watching them all in a row on the weekends when I have a day off here and there.  I think my favourites are the ones where you go away from your theories and have the tribute vidoes but I love all of your content.I also am amazed how quickly you have progressed in a really short time with your edititing of the videos.  Keep up the good work!  I really like it.

love the podcast 50 minute long format, you should post 1 per week or more if possible to try to cover the episodes leading up to season 7

you have only watched the series one time? thats childs play

I really enjoyed this discussion. I can't wait for the next one! Thanks for sharing!

Harpy if you do more of these, review they other guys notes first before you start recording. If this was someone's first viewing of a Last Harpy video and they here a guy staying Robert's dead wife plus many many other errors they may not subscribe, and they'd be missing out on one of the best GOT channels on YouTube.

Its the same symbol on the night kings Siegel. The same symbol is on the front of his uniform. (rough translation) it means night falls

That's… champing at the bit. Good that you show changing images from GoT while you all talk.
I think the first season was best of all and something is lost with each season being less than the season before.
I wish they'd kept the magic more subtle – but it got bigger and more obvious with each passing year. The dragons have gotten too big and the zombies are way too many and too fast.

I also think a better creative choice would have been to not show the prologue scene and revealed the Whyte Walkers north of the wall. Best to start with establishing the Starks, happy at home and they go to behead the deserter. Thus keeping the existence of first the zombies as uncertain until Jon burns one. And keeping the Others (Craster's sons) an uncertain thing in our minds (audience) until Sam sees one. So all that talk doubting their existence, in King's Landing, sounds uncertain to us.
I know GRR did it this same way in the books – I agree, keep that uncertain for a time as the plot first unfolds.

Also, there are Whytes and The Others. Zombies and then Craster's sons. I don't like that The Children supposedly made The Night King. I liked it better when they were this race of humanoids from the far north, perhaps raised by some Great Other, perhaps not. Something mysterious that happened in the far north. I just don't buy that.

These guests of TLH are idiots

was that night watch guy Gared Forester?

I like it man keep doing it

I don't get how anyone can enjoy Danny as a character. Probably the most boring Mary Sue character in a while. I can barely stand her through fast forward.

3 – 5 episode a night thats nothing i did 3 seasons in 3 nights when i lived in a bungalow during winter with no heating it was cold but we did eat well

I'm glad I'm not the only person binge-watching GoT

Also notice the names of old kings and names of main characters

Also noticed the number of children given to whites and the number of lord commanders. 100.

I caught that Cat says to Ned, when he is leaving, that she can't do it.
I can't do it Ned, I can't. Ned tells her she must.
It just doesn't fit. What exactly is she talking about. More than Ned leaving her again.

awesome podcast style video, loved listening to you guys! more please!

Really enjoyed this. I hope you do more. Co-hosts who know more about the series would be nice!!
