I've always seen Tywin entering the throne room on his horse (and the horse dropping "road apples") to be an epic power move to show that, despite not being the king, HE is the one in charge and he answers to no one.
your conclusion at the end of the video is pretty on point, george rr martin says that he writes stories about “the human heart in conflict with itself” that philosophy is at the center of a song of ice and fire/game of thrones
About the potential symbolism of Tywin's horse shitting; I think Tywin riding into the throne room in his splendid armour on a pure white horse, to receive praise and honours .... only for his horse to take a shit, is meant to highlight how pretentious this whole thing is. Beneath the surface, things are rotten. Not just because the Lannisters won, but because Tywin is receiving all the praise, where Tyrion clearly deserves "the lion's share". Because as you noted, the Tyrrell treason is conveniently glossed over while Sansa is blamed for the false "Stark treachery". The whole things with setting Sansa aside was agreed upon beforehand, and acted out for the crowd. The entire thing was absolutely horse shit. Speaking of symbolism; the death of Maester Luwin and the burning of Winterfell feels very connected to me. The birthplace of the Starklings is burned to the ground, and the man who pulled them into the world dies along with it. It feels like a symbolic, final closing of their childhood. There is no going home, no going back to before. I know you have seen the Red Wedding, so I don't mind saying that it feels fitting that Robb marries against his promise to House Frey in the same episode that Winterfell burns.
Both Catelyn and Robb acted out of love, and made awful mistakes. Cat gave up an immensely valuable hostage for a promise, and Robb broke his word and angered an ally. Both courses of actions are understandable, but a mistake.
I'm not a Cat fan and it took me watching so many reactions to realize Cat released Jamie because if he stayed at the camp he'd be dead by morning. Brienne and Cat speak of it before going to Jamie when all the men were fighting and Robb wouldn't be back till morning. Jamie even says to Cat that she came to visit him on his last night alive. If Jamie was killed she knew Sansa and Arya would definitely be killed. If she released him then there was a chance they would be kept alive. If anyone was to blame it would be Robb, he shouldn't have left camp to go on a side quest. But none of it would have happened if she hadn't of taken Tyrion.
13:30 Arya felt that way about Sansa because they didn't get along. She even said she hated Sansa along with all the Lannisters after the whole situation with Joffrey, Sansa, Arya, Arya's wolf Nymeria, and the butcher's boy in the previous season. But clearly she's had some time to think, especially after her father's words about the Starks not fighting a war amongst themselves after that event. It shows growth.
two things 1.) As for the symbolism behind Tyson's horse dung scene: I have always seen it as showing both his, and the Lanister's, arrogance as well as his/thief disregard for the people. He INTENTIONALY rode a horse up many steps and into the throne room literally heads above everyone else as a show of being the hero/savior. They showed the dung, in closeup, for a very specific reason. 2.) In the books, Tifton is face was MUCH more disfigured from the axe, like literally taking off his nose kind of disfigured.
Arya still blames Sansa for Lady and the butcher’s boy being killed. In the books, she also partly blames Sansa for Ned’s death, but this isn’t really explored in the show.
*earlier in season 2* Figured I should specify since I don’t wanna risk getting “thrown into the void” 🙄 Margery’s father did agree to Marry Margery to Renly Baratheon so yes the Tyrell’s did go against Joffrey when Renly was alive
Buenas Noches Guapa ♥la verdad es que ver al maestre Luwin de esa manera, tanto en la serie como en los libros se te saltan las lagrimas siempre, y el artista Ramin Djawadi empieza a meterse en nuestros corazones, es sobresaliente la capacidad de GRRM para construir tantos y tan enormes personajes y sus respectivas trayectorias. Me encantan tus análisis sobre Theon y tu capacidad de empatizar, so, here we will be in the third season making the journey with you, and helping to hold your feelings. ♥❄&🔥´♬ perdón por mi ingles
"Valor morgulis" Is the name of a drinking game I invented. You would each pick a game of thrones video, and comment "valor morgulis" on it. But you had to mis spell it. Whoever got corrected first, was safe. Everyone else had to drink. There was a real art to it. If you spelled it too wrongly, people would know you're taking the piss If you don't spell it wrongly enough or in the right way, nobody will feel the need to correct you. You have to tease out the correction by triggering their need to correct you.. So you gotta look like you really tried, but failed cus you're stupid. "Vamar Fortumis", for example. Something like that would trigger lots of corrections
There's just a handful of white walkers. The rest are just zombies called wights. Yes spelled like that. The white walkers are the lieutenants of the big guy. The night king.
The "three blasts" scene is fantastic. It creates exactly the thrill it was intended to create.
Drogo had such a way with words for a language with no word for thank you
I didn't realize violent rhetoric could be so romantic

"more awful things" is in general a safe prediction in GoT.
If you think this has an happy ending, you have not been paying attention.
Maester Luwin's death pulled at the heart strings for me, and then seeing Winterfell in ruins just added to it.
remember the girl in Vicerys' bath mentioning she saw a man change his face

I think the camera looks like the white walker was staring directly at Sam, but I think he was hidden behind the rock.

Maester luwin’s death was a very underrated death in GOT.
Luwin and Rodrik are, aside from Ned, the deaths that get to me the most 😭
The Walker knew Sam was there and saw him. They always leave people alive to spread the fear....it's how evil flourishes: Thru fear!

Inspiration for how the dragons sat and moved was from both cats and birds.

Loooook the void be voiding but I appreciate you
Whitewalkers didnt want Sam because they know he would just slow them down
They could instantly kill him.
@@VColossalV it's a joke

Holy heck, that was a good episode, and a great reaction!
I just love your reactions Lipps pls keep them coming❤❤

Lol. I think I've seen evidence of this game. 🍻

Please increase the volume. We can hardly hear you and the show!
I got you!! Thank you for letting me know
In the books tyrion's face is in much worse shape
