Yeah, after promising myself I’d never revisit GOT i kept getting recommended a load of old clips on TH-cam, currently on a binge. That last season was really such a let down, almost made me forget how damn good it was.
That's the way they speak in Lorath. It's polite to speak in 3rd person but it's not forbidden to use 1st person speech. It's just more offensive or intimate.
Why would you think that? Because he had to sacrifice three people to the Red God due to the fact that Arya saved them? It's not paying her back, it's making something right.
i really don't think jaqen was obliged to offer 3 deaths, but he rather wanted to recruit her and exercised a good show how facelessmen are able to kill any men with a name he knew how arya had a deathlist of her own and struck her weak spot . at the last scene with jaqen, he was so eager to offer companionship for arya to become a facelessmen. i don't think faceless men recruit cadets that easily. i think his whole mission was to influence arya to join their ranks.
Notice how he never mentions or alludes to the fact that she'll have to loose her identity to join. And the fact that he frames his abilities (to a young impressionable child) as "able to grant wishes"
Look, a walking, talking, sexy Death Note. ^^ Jaqen really comes close to being a one-scene-wonder. Maybe four-scene-wonder in this case. Comparatively minor role, but leaving a huge impact and stealing the show!
His reappearance in the show was ok and good. Not bad. But his plotline in books is more interesting, after he change his face infront of arya. Apparently he went to old town to kill an novice named pete of the citidal and took his place. Pete has an unimportant position he was nothing more than a servant, but he is nurse/servant to old and senile archmaester walgrave, who speciallity is ravens, author of the book "dark wings, dark words" every arch maester carry some kind of master key which open the all doors in citidal or atleast the rooms which are restricted and contain dangerous knowledge in the eyes of maesters. Original deal was pete would provide him the key in exchange of gold coin. But when pete try to bite the gold cpin as he saw thats how merchants check its authenticity, he died as the coin was laced with poison. Of course it didnt said that the character of al chemist who gave pete coin was jaquen but the description of his features mathes the face that jaquen changed into before he departed from arya. And of course the way he killed pete speaks of methods of faceless men. And here is the final twist, despite being dead pete was found to be still alive somehow and veing part of maester mervyn who studies magic, and sam encountered him when he reache the citidal! Really excited for this story line.
There is a theory that the Faceless men were hired by Cersei or Tywin to kill Ned Stark if he was sent to the wall because he could have been a threat to Joffrey's rule but I heard that a long time ago so I don't remember the details
+TheSm1thers cersei has no power without powerful men to manipulate. waste of a kill. she'll die as easily as anyone beneath your sword when you take king's landing.
TheSm1thers not to mention if she had named Tywin...NO RED WEDDING!!!!!! Her mom and brother alive and well. Stannis would have Kings Landing. Joffrey and Cersi would be dead and all would be well. Damn you Arya!!!!!!!!
@@jjester2345 If she had named Tywin, Roose Bolton and Stannis then Robb would've had his pact with Renly Baratheon succeed. Baratheon and Tyrell ruling as king and queen of the 6 kingdoms and the north being ruled by king Robb and queen Talisa as a separate but allied kingdom. Stannis would've declared war on the usurper Robb immediately after finishing King's Landing because the law is the law and such and such, so he had to go. His host was very small anyway, so no large-scale conflict could possibly erupt after his assassination. Roose was too treacherous to be left alive and also Ramsay was only a b@stard at that point so he would've held no power at all. Walder Frey would get the Edmure-Roslin deal and be happy with it, for a lack of a better alternative. Neither Joffrey nor Kevan nor Cersei nor the Kingslayer held enough power to defeat Renly's enormous host of bannermen, because the westerlands produced no more gold, the mines had run dry. The Lannisters would've been squished, because afterall they are a traiterous, opportunistic and barbaric family capable of very cruel war crimes. No one would be honor-bound to defend them from extinction. The rains of castamere would turn from a frightening song into one of ironic mockery. It would have been the perfect peace, with all rulers having non-violent personalities. If Daenerys would've also decided to stay in Essos to enforce democracy instead of conquering westeros just because, that would've been the good ending ^^
***** no but since the guy who supposedly killed syrio was alive untill recently when arya killed him. it makes sense, its kinda retarded to think jaqen is a famous swordsman when he is infact practicing being no one.
Jaqen was one of my favorite character in the series...calm and professional... I hope I will see him again further since I only watched till half of the 4th season yet...
@@davidmendelsohn3013 By now I have completed 6 seasons and I agree first 4 seasons were the best. But the thing is Reading a bulky fictional book is boring that's why it's better option for me watch although if it's not as complete as it was in book.

@@donn.4766 the books are absolutely worth the time. But! Despite the show going downhill, I'd still recommend watching all of it. Even with the story sort of dripping along, season 7 and 8 have great visuals. Except for S8E3, which was just dark.
@@RandomShorts007AP I didn't want to read but I also didnt want to watch the show crash and burn either. So I did the next best thing. I hired some homeless people to act out the book in exchange for ham and cheese sandwiches.
I guess this was the only chance that Arya had to save Robb from his death. Come on girl, just say Tywin lannister and he might be dead before he planned to kill Robb Stark in the Red Wedding.
Sun Moon The books have her realise this mistake, later on - Arya is a young girl who wasn't thinking clearly, she was mostly wanting those she more directly hated to die... And in the books Tywin was never on her list, being they never interacted unlike here - in the books, she serves Roose Bolton instead, after using Jaqen's name to overthrow Lannister control some time after her and Gregor Clegane and such have left; it's also under those circumstances that Amory Lorch died, unlike here where his role as the second name she uses is combined with a minor character, a cruel steward (I believe that was his job) of Harrenhal named Weese. The Tickler also didn't get named; a separate minor character was her first name, and the Tickler died in late Book 3 at her direct hands in the scene where in the show, she killed Polliver (Polliver himself was killed by the Hound in the same scene; furthering that, ANOTHER separate character was the one who killed Lommy Greenhands in the books, Polliver was just the guy who took Arya's sword but the roles were merged - thankfully, a leaked chapter of Book 6 shows Arya killing the man who murdered Lommy in Braavos, when she finds him there (a death in Season 5 is actually based on that one). Yeah... the books are complicated like that. You'd have to read them a dozen times or something to notice all the names and details and such...
I've always wondered how Jaqen H'ghar got there. How did a Faceless Assassin get thrown into Kings Landing dungeons? Why didn't he escape since it's obvious he could at his leisure? Why did he choose to head to the Wall? What was he doing?
+FerretJohn I imagine this is a difficult question.. He might have been seeking an opportunity to offer many Free Folk and men of the Night's Watch to his god of Death, perhaps..
There's a really plausible theory out there I read years back that had him on a mission to obtain the key for opening something secured (a book? a candle? I forget now) at the Citadel. He obtained the key, but we don't find out what he used it for after that. He was simply biding his time while planning his journey. I'm unsure why he helped Arya. My theory is he knew an ancestor of hers a long time ago, so he bestows his gift upon his old friend's descendent.
+dragom2009 nope, there is some controversy about where jaqens loyalties actually lie, you should watch a video series by preston jacobs on youtube titled "the faceless" he explains alot about jaqen :D
dragom2009 exactly my point, jaqen is a faceless man and they worship the many face god at the house of black and white in bravos, and yet he mentions to arya about serving the red god :S it's very confusing.
dragom2009 yes, the red god refers to the god worshipped by melisandre aka the lord of light. yet jaqen should be a follower of the many face god. that video series by Preston Jacobs explains it better than i can :D
I would have given Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei and Roose Bolton. But when you think about it, he says it can take months for these lives to be taken. Maybe more. The names Arya gave to Jaqen were easy lives to take: closely located, almost unprotected. But maybe with those 3 names, the surviving chances would have been very low. He could have died on his first attempt for only the first name, one name, and after months to get to him.
+dibaterman her reasoning in the books at the time is pretty much that she is impatient, she want's immediate revenge on those around her like chiswyk, weese, the tickler, the mountain, ser amory etc joffrey and cersei are hundreds of miles away and she knows it would take a long time for jaqen to get to these people. Remember in the show it makes it look like she is in harrenhal for a short amount of time, whereas in the book she has been a prisoner there for some time and eventually is chosen to be a serving girl,they make her scrub the grime off the floors until her hands bleed, so you can understand that has given her time for her hatred of her captures to mature.
later on they talk about how he can indeed kill anyone but he doesn't know how much time does it take. he also says that "the man can't do that" when arya wants tywin to be killed immediately. so it's also just common sense. maybe he kills cersei or joffrey but if it takes years the war might just end by that time.
+Sigurd Torvaldsson I think Joffrey and Tommen were actually hindering the Lannisters more than helping them. Tywin, Loras Tyrell and Tyrion would be better choices
Arya is my favourite character now. In the sense that every time I see her I learn more about the faceless men(assassins), at the black and white house. The scene when she seen herself dead was very cool.
Makes sense that a faceless man, a person who changes his face, would find a girl who pretends to be someone else to be intriguing. Arya ticks a lot of boxes for potentially becoming a faceless man at this stage and this is probably some recruitment routine he does.
Later he couldn't - because the Ty has left. But she knew beforehand who he was and that he was planning to fight her brother. She even pondered stabbing him. She just hesitated - maybe because he treated her humanely. With all my affection to the Starks - this is a continuous flaw by them: letting feelings override duty.
in this game it all about the secret...secret start the game, and secret ends the game...3 names and it is still a secret...the question is where, god dam where was secret service? call me a terrorist...or UK citizen.
The title of the video reminds me of the holy hand grenade scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
He won't be in season 3 but he does make an appearance in season 4. Unfortunately, since he's a faceless man, it doesn't makes sense to have the same actor(who's a faceless man) return with the same face. Kind of ruins the point...which sucks because this guy is awesome!
"Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three"
The first death (Tickler) was Arya testing Jaquen. She didn't fully trust him so she just named a random person (that she hates). The second (Ser Amory Lorch) was necessary. She wanted Tywin to be the third but he'd gone before she reached Jaquen.
dangouthebrette Dude I'm with you. The muthafucka twisted a dudes neck completely around in a crowded castle in broad day. There is no way he couldn't have escaped if he wanted to. I think Ned was smarter than given credit for. I believe Jaqen was a backup in case the dancing master failed. Ned obviously had clout with the people of Braavos.
Wallace Thompson Totally agree ! I can't wait to learn more about those braavosi people and the Iron Bank. "The Iron Bank will have it's due", guess they could play a huge role in the battle for Westeros.
Arya: "Tywin Lannister" Jaqen: Takes Tywin out. Chaos erupts in Harrenhall, The Mountain, the Tickler and other guards start to do as they please with the prisoners. Jaqen saves Arya: A girl still havr two names to give, and therefore a man mudt keep the girl alive. Arya: I'll tell you the secind name if you free me and my friends! Jaqen: I man cannot do this. It reauires more than two lives. Arya: Then a girl wont give out names Jaqen: A girl lacks honor Arya: A girl doesnt care Jaqen: *sighs* If a man is to do this. A girl must obey everything he says! Arya: a girl will obey Jaqen: You and your friends will get out of he front gate at midnight. *everything happens as originally* Jaqen: A man has freed the girl, and now the girl mudt give a name. Arya: Joffrey Baratheon, King of King's Landing. Jaqen: ... A man will take some time, but it will be done. Arya: Chop off his head, like he did a girl's father *Jaqen is amused* *weeks pass, Joffrey is found dead by decapitation. Cersei is screaming, looking who to blame. Her father, and now her son, plus Jamie is still captured, and Robb is winning the war. Arya realizes this and is dumbfounded, but happy. Yet she doesnt know who to name. She coukd name Cersei, or Illin Payne, or The Hound or The Mountain...* Jaqen: A man has done his deed. A king is dead. A girl can givd a third name now. Arya: Cersei Lannister.
The thing i love about GOT is it has a simpler plot but extremely awesome characters. On the other hand witcher has a really big plot but boaring characters.
The Witcher has awesome characters... in the books. And the TV series made the plot much more complicated by doing all those unmarked flashbacks and trying to do two timelines at once (Ciri's timeline + short stories from the anthologies that happened way before Ciri, like the golden dragon, and that excludes stuff like Yennefer's story), in one timeline (Ciri's) compressing events from at least three different times in the books (Geralt visited Cintra and got denied meeting with Ciri when Ciri was 6; then he met her when she run away from home to not marry some guy, in the Brokilon forest (when she was maybe 10); then he met her as a "child of surprise" of a guy whose wife adopted her as an orphan after Cintra's siege (when she's around 12, maybe) - note that in none of those cases Ciri was looking for Geralt the way we see in the series, it was more of a destiny thing). Basically, the TV series writers screwed it up terribly. The source material is amazing, on the other hand. Shame, because after the Polish low budget movie and series a few decades ago everyone was hopeful that at least Netflix will do it justice.
Three lives? Hmmm, in times of war, you know, my brother against big armies, my sister in the hands of the enemy king and all that, I should tooootally pick three random names. Isn't that a good plan? I feel like it is. I'm so smart. - Arya's logic (I love her, but c'mon...)
My theory is that Jaqen is actually the god of death/red god; I watched the whole series trying to disprove this gut feeling and only found more to support it 😅 I like to think the actual Game of Thrones was played by the gods, old and new, who actually walked and talked among the people as characters we never picked up on (except Jaqen).
He was going to be burned alive in the cage.. and the Red God is the 'Lord of LIght', the God of Fire... so she stole him from the Red God and the Many-Faced God.

Apparently he went to old town to kill an novice named pete of the citidal and took his place. Pete has an unimportant position he was nothing more than a servant, but he is nurse/servant to old and senile archmaester walgrave, who speciallity is ravens, author of the book "dark wings, dark words" every arch maester carry some kind of master key which open the all doors in citidal or atleast the rooms which are restricted and contain dangerous knowledge in the eyes of maesters. Original deal was pete would provide him the key in exchange of gold coin. But when pete try to bite the gold cpin as he saw thats how merchants check its authenticity, he died as the coin was laced with poison. Of course it didnt said that the character of al chemist who gave pete coin was jaquen but the description of his features mathes the face that jaquen changed into before he departed from arya. And of course the way he killed pete speaks of methods of faceless men. And here is the final twist, despite being dead pete was found to be still alive somehow and veing part of maester mervyn who studies magic, and sam encountered him when he reache the citidal! Really excited for this story line.
@@mrizwan7566ok
How does such a lethal character who can literally change faces get captured by low level men who got slaughtered is my only question..
He did it deliberately. I think he was eyeing Arya to join the cult.
There is a theory that the Faceless men were hired by Cersei or Tywin to kill Ned Stark if he was sent to the wall because he could have been a threat to Joffrey's rule but I heard that a long time ago so I don't remember the details
He wanted to be captured.
It’s in the book.
Tywin
Joffrey
Cersei
The war would have been won if she said these names.
+TheSm1thers
cersei has no power without powerful men to manipulate. waste of a kill. she'll die as easily as anyone beneath your sword when you take king's landing.
+waldoman7 thats the exact sort of thinking that got ned stark killed....
TheSm1thers not to mention if she had named Tywin...NO RED WEDDING!!!!!! Her mom and brother alive and well. Stannis would have Kings Landing. Joffrey and Cersi would be dead and all would be well.
Damn you Arya!!!!!!!!
says Joffrey to Jaqen: "a man would kill that brat for free"
@@jjester2345 If she had named Tywin, Roose Bolton and Stannis then Robb would've had his pact with Renly Baratheon succeed. Baratheon and Tyrell ruling as king and queen of the 6 kingdoms and the north being ruled by king Robb and queen Talisa as a separate but allied kingdom. Stannis would've declared war on the usurper Robb immediately after finishing King's Landing because the law is the law and such and such, so he had to go. His host was very small anyway, so no large-scale conflict could possibly erupt after his assassination. Roose was too treacherous to be left alive and also Ramsay was only a b@stard at that point so he would've held no power at all. Walder Frey would get the Edmure-Roslin deal and be happy with it, for a lack of a better alternative. Neither Joffrey nor Kevan nor Cersei nor the Kingslayer held enough power to defeat Renly's enormous host of bannermen, because the westerlands produced no more gold, the mines had run dry. The Lannisters would've been squished, because afterall they are a traiterous, opportunistic and barbaric family capable of very cruel war crimes. No one would be honor-bound to defend them from extinction. The rains of castamere would turn from a frightening song into one of ironic mockery. It would have been the perfect peace, with all rulers having non-violent personalities. If Daenerys would've also decided to stay in Essos to enforce democracy instead of conquering westeros just because, that would've been the good ending ^^
It's not logical that an unstoppable assassin like this could be captured, stuck in a wooden cage and almost burned alive.
Maked Marvyl Since you don't know his motivations and plans you can't judge if it's "logical" for him to be in that cage or not.
Maked Marvyl For all we know, he was in that cage for a mission. To "play" prisoner.
***** Syrio is dead. he is not syrio
***** no but since the guy who supposedly killed syrio was alive untill recently when arya killed him. it makes sense, its kinda retarded to think jaqen is a famous swordsman when he is infact practicing being no one.
***** i can bet 100$ that jaqen isnt syrio. deal?

well waldur isn't dead yet, i hope that loose end will get tied up this season :P
Love him !!!!! I wish we see him again !!!!!!!!
he's going to be in season 5.
i wish
ΛΙΑ ΜΑΝΔΑΛΗ you will see him. but with a different face..
I want this face !!!!! :(
we've got no choice. I, myself, am dissappointed with the Three Eyed Raven's appearance.. I expected him to look a bit more grotesque.
He has a very icey calm to him. Almost psychopathic
I can't stop saying that for no apparent reason "Speak the names and the men will do the rest, three lifes I'll give you, no more, no less"
Jaqen was one of my favorite character in the series...calm and professional... I hope I will see him again further since I only watched till half of the 4th season yet...
Do yourself a favour and stop at the end of season 4 and read onwards from the books. Trust me
@@davidmendelsohn3013 By now I have completed 6 seasons and I agree first 4 seasons were the best. But the thing is Reading a bulky fictional book is boring that's why it's better option for me watch although if it's not as complete as it was in book.
@@RandomShorts007AP dont listen to him, why do some people want you to read a long ass book, this is all for entertainment after all. Watch it and enjoy.
@@donn.4766 the books are absolutely worth the time.
But! Despite the show going downhill, I'd still recommend watching all of it. Even with the story sort of dripping along, season 7 and 8 have great visuals. Except for S8E3, which was just dark.
@@RandomShorts007AP I didn't want to read but I also didnt want to watch the show crash and burn either. So I did the next best thing. I hired some homeless people to act out the book in exchange for ham and cheese sandwiches.
This show was so damn good back then
Full of mystery
A girl should have chosen Dan&Dave
Jaquen H'ghar would make a great Gambit in an X-Men movie.
I thought I was the only one!! Dude screams Gambit
oo yess i thought that too
Great minds
Three names imagine how she could have stopped a war and win the war if the names were selected more carefully.
In the books she actually mentally kicks herself later over exactly that.
I name Klaus Schwab, and Larry Fink, just need these 2 to achieve world peace.
Jaqen H’ghar is Enzo the Russian from Stranger Things 4
Hopper’s mate
I guess this was the only chance that Arya had to save Robb from his death. Come on girl, just say Tywin lannister and he might be dead before he planned to kill Robb Stark in the Red Wedding.
Sun Moon The books have her realise this mistake, later on - Arya is a young girl who wasn't thinking clearly, she was mostly wanting those she more directly hated to die... And in the books Tywin was never on her list, being they never interacted unlike here - in the books, she serves Roose Bolton instead, after using Jaqen's name to overthrow Lannister control some time after her and Gregor Clegane and such have left; it's also under those circumstances that Amory Lorch died, unlike here where his role as the second name she uses is combined with a minor character, a cruel steward (I believe that was his job) of Harrenhal named Weese.
The Tickler also didn't get named; a separate minor character was her first name, and the Tickler died in late Book 3 at her direct hands in the scene where in the show, she killed Polliver (Polliver himself was killed by the Hound in the same scene; furthering that, ANOTHER separate character was the one who killed Lommy Greenhands in the books, Polliver was just the guy who took Arya's sword but the roles were merged - thankfully, a leaked chapter of Book 6 shows Arya killing the man who murdered Lommy in Braavos, when she finds him there (a death in Season 5 is actually based on that one).
Yeah... the books are complicated like that. You'd have to read them a dozen times or something to notice all the names and details and such...
I've always wondered how Jaqen H'ghar got there. How did a Faceless Assassin get thrown into Kings Landing dungeons? Why didn't he escape since it's obvious he could at his leisure? Why did he choose to head to the Wall? What was he doing?
Preston Jacobs. Look up that youtube channel. He's got some incredible theories. Ill say this much. Why would a faceless man need to go to the wall?
ive heard that he did to meet arya like it was meant to happen but i dont know if itd true
+FerretJohn
I imagine this is a difficult question.. He might have been seeking an opportunity to offer many Free Folk and men of the Night's Watch to his god of Death, perhaps..
There's a really plausible theory out there I read years back that had him on a mission to obtain the key for opening something secured (a book? a candle? I forget now) at the Citadel. He obtained the key, but we don't find out what he used it for after that. He was simply biding his time while planning his journey.
I'm unsure why he helped Arya. My theory is he knew an ancestor of hers a long time ago, so he bestows his gift upon his old friend's descendent.
If only that prisoner cart was about ten times larger.
I'm glad she used her gift to kill very important characters.
isn´t the red god the god melisandra wordships? is that god the same as the many faces god''?
+dragom2009 nope, there is some controversy about where jaqens loyalties actually lie, you should watch a video series by preston jacobs on youtube titled "the faceless" he explains alot about jaqen :D
MrPurplephrog but he says the red god, and the red priest is always about the red god
dragom2009 exactly my point, jaqen is a faceless man and they worship the many face god at the house of black and white in bravos, and yet he mentions to arya about serving the red god :S it's very confusing.
MrPurplephrog so my question. those two are different gods?
dragom2009 yes, the red god refers to the god worshipped by melisandre aka the lord of light. yet jaqen should be a follower of the many face god. that video series by Preston Jacobs explains it better than i can :D
Is Jaqen H'ghar the Alchemist??? I'm asking the ones who read the books...
No one but George R. Martian knows for sure, maybe he is, maybe he isn't and that is just a face he copied
He is. He also kills Pate and takes his identity
Cersei, Joffrey, Tywin and it would have been a much shorter book series.
The Night King
Cersei
Ramsey
*Roll credits*
Apparently the tickler was Gordon Ramsay. 2:46
Dude’s basically Agent 47 in Westeros
I would have given Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei and Roose Bolton. But when you think about it, he says it can take months for these lives to be taken. Maybe more. The names Arya gave to Jaqen were easy lives to take: closely located, almost unprotected. But maybe with those 3 names, the surviving chances would have been very low. He could have died on his first attempt for only the first name, one name, and after months to get to him.
You could but you shouldn’t
He no mare mortal man. Later on the series he says to Arya, "You lied to me, the many face god." He could very well be deity in disguise
Why would she name Roose Bolton. I don't even think she knew him yet (in the show)
They pointed out later that Arya could have named someone important and maybe have ended the war later on. I forget her reasoning for not doing that.
+dibaterman her reasoning in the books at the time is pretty much that she is impatient, she want's immediate revenge on those around her like chiswyk, weese, the tickler, the mountain, ser amory etc joffrey and cersei are hundreds of miles away and she knows it would take a long time for jaqen to get to these people. Remember in the show it makes it look like she is in harrenhal for a short amount of time, whereas in the book she has been a prisoner there for some time and eventually is chosen to be a serving girl,they make her scrub the grime off the floors until her hands bleed, so you can understand that has given her time for her hatred of her captures to mature.
MrPurplephrog Thanks didn't know that.
later on they talk about how he can indeed kill anyone but he doesn't know how much time does it take. he also says that "the man can't do that" when arya wants tywin to be killed immediately.
so it's also just common sense. maybe he kills cersei or joffrey but if it takes years the war might just end by that time.
maybe its a budget issue,i heard GOT is very expensive !
- Tywin Lannister
- Joffrey
- Tommen
after Stannis kills Renly
=> Stannis get the thrones
Sigurd Torvaldsson Father of the year material.
+Sigurd Torvaldsson Stannis already pledged to crush Robb's rebellion. If Arya sided with Stannis she'd be betraying her own brother.
+Sigurd Torvaldsson I think Joffrey and Tommen were actually hindering the Lannisters more than helping them. Tywin, Loras Tyrell and Tyrion would be better choices
+Adonnus100 y loras
+George Nottas Cause he's responsible for changing the 50k Tyrell army to the Lannister side since he had a boner for Renly
Arya is my favourite character now. In the sense that every time I see her I learn more about the faceless men(assassins), at the black and white house. The scene when she seen herself dead was very cool.
Makes sense that a faceless man, a person who changes his face, would find a girl who pretends to be someone else to be intriguing. Arya ticks a lot of boxes for potentially becoming a faceless man at this stage and this is probably some recruitment routine he does.
The most interesting character of GOT, couldn't live to it's potential.
I hope they bring him back.
Efren Gamez Your wish has been granted.

What is dead may never die
She was supposed to be asleep..... lol
Later he couldn't - because the Ty has left.
But she knew beforehand who he was and that he was planning to fight her brother. She even pondered stabbing him.
She just hesitated - maybe because he treated her humanely.
With all my affection to the Starks - this is a continuous flaw by them: letting feelings override duty.
Perfect casting.
in this game it all about the secret...secret start the game, and secret ends the game...3 names and it is still a secret...the question is where, god dam where was secret service? call me a terrorist...or UK citizen.
The title of the video reminds me of the holy hand grenade scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
Any word this man pronounces with an S in it is a massage to the ears
Tywin Lannister
Cersei Lannister
Joffery Baratheon (Lannister LOL)
And we would not have the red wedding :)
I fucking LOVE jaquen that actor is so good too i wish he would come back in season 3 hes so wise and awesome
They let such a great character go to waste..
He is not a blood thirsty murderer but cool and collected killer
He won't be in season 3 but he does make an appearance in season 4. Unfortunately, since he's a faceless man, it doesn't makes sense to have the same actor(who's a faceless man) return with the same face. Kind of ruins the point...which sucks because this guy is awesome!
A grown ass psychopathic serial killer amusing himself by justifying his addiction through her need for redemption… it’s quite Dracula-ish.
I do believe you've missed a rather large facet of the show's lore in your masturbatory analysis there.
"Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three"
"Five is right out!"
‘’Three life I will give you no more no less’’
“”Joffrey Baratheon””
‘’Error 404”
Jeffory was her,s to kill .She would have loved to see the look on his face when she kills him
The first death (Tickler) was Arya testing Jaquen. She didn't fully trust him so she just named a random person (that she hates). The second (Ser Amory Lorch) was necessary. She wanted Tywin to be the third but he'd gone before she reached Jaquen.
if hes such a beast how did he get caught to begin with?
Maybe he wanted to get caught, we don't know... I guess he was sent to spy, and if he is such a beast, he could easily escape from the night's watch.
dangouthebrette
Dude I'm with you. The muthafucka twisted a dudes neck completely around in a crowded castle in broad day. There is no way he couldn't have escaped if he wanted to. I think Ned was smarter than given credit for. I believe Jaqen was a backup in case the dancing master failed.
Ned obviously had clout with the people of Braavos.
Wallace Thompson
Totally agree ! I can't wait to learn more about those braavosi people and the Iron Bank. "The Iron Bank will have it's due", guess they could play a huge role in the battle for Westeros.
They picked the perfect actor for the role.
- Tywin Lannister.
- Cersei Lannister
- Joffrey
Gg.
Your list make The got become boring
Omg Gordon Ramsay is dead...
hahaha
Arya: "Tywin Lannister"
Jaqen: Takes Tywin out. Chaos erupts in Harrenhall, The Mountain, the Tickler and other guards start to do as they please with the prisoners.
Jaqen saves Arya: A girl still havr two names to give, and therefore a man mudt keep the girl alive.
Arya: I'll tell you the secind name if you free me and my friends!
Jaqen: I man cannot do this. It reauires more than two lives.
Arya: Then a girl wont give out names
Jaqen: A girl lacks honor
Arya: A girl doesnt care
Jaqen: *sighs* If a man is to do this. A girl must obey everything he says!
Arya: a girl will obey
Jaqen: You and your friends will get out of he front gate at midnight.
*everything happens as originally*
Jaqen: A man has freed the girl, and now the girl mudt give a name.
Arya: Joffrey Baratheon, King of King's Landing.
Jaqen: ... A man will take some time, but it will be done.
Arya: Chop off his head, like he did a girl's father
*Jaqen is amused*
*weeks pass, Joffrey is found dead by decapitation. Cersei is screaming, looking who to blame. Her father, and now her son, plus Jamie is still captured, and Robb is winning the war. Arya realizes this and is dumbfounded, but happy. Yet she doesnt know who to name. She coukd name Cersei, or Illin Payne, or The Hound or The Mountain...*
Jaqen: A man has done his deed. A king is dead. A girl can givd a third name now.
Arya: Cersei Lannister.
Lannister
Frey
Bolton
A name is a name . Otherwise, Jaqen.
+possumshake so you want to kill off Tyrion?
Proceeds to kill every Frey in existence.
frey and bolton had'nt betrayed yet
She could’ve just said Joffrey, Tywin and Cersei and the show would’ve ended
Jaqen music theme is sick af
She coulda saved most of her family if she just said "Tywin Lannister" right here and now XD
rip
She would also have to name Jeoffrey because as king he had great power and he couldn't stand the fact that Starks repeatedly stood up to defy him.
Geez the old seasons were good
Why didn't she have Jaqen kill Tywin? You know, the most powerful lord on the continent, the guy trying to kill her brother?
1, cercei, 2, Jamie 3, night king as simple as that
if arya name night king this Man can kill him?
+luciano rifiano After all you have seen, this is your question?
its a solid fucking question
He could try.

At this point she wasn't sure she thought he was just joking.
The thing i love about GOT is it has a simpler plot but extremely awesome characters. On the other hand witcher has a really big plot but boaring characters.
The Witcher has awesome characters... in the books. And the TV series made the plot much more complicated by doing all those unmarked flashbacks and trying to do two timelines at once (Ciri's timeline + short stories from the anthologies that happened way before Ciri, like the golden dragon, and that excludes stuff like Yennefer's story), in one timeline (Ciri's) compressing events from at least three different times in the books (Geralt visited Cintra and got denied meeting with Ciri when Ciri was 6; then he met her when she run away from home to not marry some guy, in the Brokilon forest (when she was maybe 10); then he met her as a "child of surprise" of a guy whose wife adopted her as an orphan after Cintra's siege (when she's around 12, maybe) - note that in none of those cases Ciri was looking for Geralt the way we see in the series, it was more of a destiny thing). Basically, the TV series writers screwed it up terribly. The source material is amazing, on the other hand. Shame, because after the Polish low budget movie and series a few decades ago everyone was hopeful that at least Netflix will do it justice.
A Lannister soldier occasionally pays his debts
Three lives? Hmmm, in times of war, you know, my brother against big armies, my sister in the hands of the enemy king and all that, I should tooootally pick three random names. Isn't that a good plan? I feel like it is. I'm so smart.
- Arya's logic
(I love her, but c'mon...)
i see you were never 9
My theory is that Jaqen is actually the god of death/red god; I watched the whole series trying to disprove this gut feeling and only found more to support it 😅 I like to think the actual Game of Thrones was played by the gods, old and new, who actually walked and talked among the people as characters we never picked up on (except Jaqen).
So... Like the Darkbrotherhood and The Nights Mother
a man is powerful that he can take the throne by himself.
"Three lives I'll give you, no more, no less"
“Cersei Lannister, Nightking, Danerys Targaryen”
"No more, no less... Lol, jk. I'll give you more if you ask nicely, slash, threaten me with my life."
Why does he say the Red God? I thought his was the many faced god.
He was going to be burned alive in the cage.. and the Red God is the 'Lord of LIght', the God of Fire... so she stole him from the Red God and the Many-Faced God.
