Season finale spoilers: Bronn will defeat the Night King with THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
Everyone go watch Glidus -- his GOT memes are fresh and should have way more subscribers
Ok daddy
He did say "give me 10 good men, I'll impregnate the bitch."
GLIDUS 420
The most powerful type of magic
Tyrion's most famous line is " I drink and I know things". Dany made him stop drinking and that is when he stopped knowing things.
A good joke I saw is "It would have been funny if Tyrion replied 'I've run out of books to read.' when Sansa says she doesn't think he's as smart as she originally thought."
Ken Huff Ha!🤣
Every time I hear the prophecy I can’t help but think of Renly: “Born amidst salt and smoke? Is he a ham?”
Best line in the show
and out of all the Baratheons on the show, Renly would have been the fittest to rule as he is popular, diplomatic and knows how to place his trust in the right people.
@@ABlexJMPhe wasn’t really good at anything though. His marriage to Margery was the smartest thing he did, other than that he was kinda a bonehead that liked fancy things
"Amid salt and smoke ? Is he a ham ?"
and the world will never know..
He's a big ham.
Tyrion is Azor Ahai confirmed.
I was expecting that joke
“He definitely a Snacc”
He's Delicious!
Jaimie: - "Need a push?"
Brann: - "I could use a hand."
...both laugh hysterically and lived happily ever after..
Wamathai Wandeto lol
Underrated coment
I hope that happens
You win the Internet!
how tragic that it's too late for them to hire you on Thrones now, you genius
It's funny how Tyrion suddenly went dumb as soon as we went off book.
And littlefinger..
@man0z "Wasnt so slow". I wanna see you create a masterpiece of a book in about 1.5years (average gap between a old and a new got season) About 8Times in a row
The show will not influence the books because A Dance With Dragons is the last book that will ever be released. Sorry but it's the truth.
Grrm wrote this over 25 years ago... He already moved on. He cant admit to his writers block and now hes forced to finish a story he started that he prolly didnt expect to finish in the first place . crap writing 101. His end is gonna be stupid no matter what he writes now. The show litterally over.
Vinny donyou think littlefinger its dead? Lol...
Of _course_ Jon and Dany's relationship won't last - Ygritte wanted Jon and her to stay in their secluded place forever, whereas the fickle Targaryan Queen would only commit to _a paltry thousand years!_
I mean 1000 years is still pret-ty, pret-ty good.
@@laxku compared to forever it aint.
1000 years = 1000*365*24*60 = 525,600.000 minutes in total
50 pct is spent either shitting, eating, sleeping or flossing the dragons = 262,800.000 minutes free to bang
Divide by an avg. bang time of 10 minutes (incl. cuddling) = 26,280.000 bangs
@@laxku reminds me of another HBO banger... with a certain Larry David 😉

He didn't do shit. Petyr payed them to pretend to have enjoyed it so much.

Petar Tsankov me too 😂
Gingers are not people
@discordant dancers no why?
Everyone knows dragon/flying have a 4X weakness to ice.
Gotta kill 'em all ;)
This is why I don't use dual types.
@@princesoulger999 Well in my experience Water+Earth is a pretty decent combo, just because basically noone takes plant type attacks. In addition to that, many of the water+earth types can use powerful ice attacks themselves if confronted with a planttype pokemon.
Some others are decent aswell, like Fire+Steel.
That goes only for multiplayer though (my experience).
Rob Horgan Thank You! I was wondering if anyone else picked up why the dragons were feeling slightly uncomfortable up north lol. Dragons are weak to other dragon and ice types, along with fairy. Danny's dragons are more fire/dragon type. I'm really hoping Viserion as a newly made Ice/Dragon dual type doesn't take out one of his brothers even though ice is weak to fire lol. XD

10/10
Well played.
I did not make the connection of the Ginger Eddie being Ed Sheeran
The three costly ladies were too much of a distraction mate!
I immediately made the connection as soon as it came out, but then second-guessed myself, thinking, "maybe Ed Sheeran's character wasn't called Eddie or wasn't the same Eddie..."
Same here. Still laughing they burned his eye lids off probably wouldn't laugh if it were real though!
Eyelids take a while to grow back right?
Me neither... The butthurt losers of the internet ruined that by the time next morning, it was disastrous
Don't let this distract you from fact that Tormund always had blue eyes fam
and that was the thing that convinced dolorous edd that tormund was not a white. that tormund talked and mentioned the blue eyes. that was what edd needed to stand down his guard.
not beric's flaming-ass sword or anything. no. tormund having blue eyes, that was what did it.
*Holding hands out in contempt: "I've always ate pies!"
that part made me cringe
I like the fact that tormund and edd are bros
@@Spongebrain97 Funny how seeing a common friend being resurrected has a tendency to bond people... ;-)
it is mind boggling how people are not talking about any of the magic shit is going down. It was this huge build up in earlier seasons how we the audience could see magic and the characters kept on saying it was all folclore and long gone.
And here we are, where no one gives a wink to any of the news.
Resurrection, meh, the wall has fallen, meh, bran can see the past, meh, Dragons in the north, meh, one dragon is a zombie, meh. - we are way more affected by any of this than any of the people living it in the series.
I have always wondered why would no one sit down with Bran and ask him wtf is he talking about half the time. It's almost as if the characters are made to be dumb for plot convenience. I mean they see Dragons after a century. That is some game changing shit. There are ice zombies now and everyone is just chilling at the fireplace, drinking wine and shit. I would be losing my mind if I got to know every folktale I heard was actually true.
Well George did co-write many episodes so maybe he's feeding them shit knowing his books will be better received xD @@ashutoshmohapatra7320
They've got 6 eps, they don't have time for that. Honestly, I have no idea what 99% of complainers were expecting. More whole seasons of complex and detailed plotting?! Get real, the show is over, just enjoy it for what it is.
@@fuckenps3 is 6 eps because they didnt want to do 10. The "complainers" are people that invested themselves into a project that is now rushing towards the end and the show runners accumulated the biggest budget in the world fpr a tv series get to just shrug everythin off at the conclusion. Its funny how they had no issues in collecting all those awards because the "complainers" bought merch, promotes the show, voted for them. I feel cheated of a great ending cause mainstream consumers just don't care about plot and love watching "Transformers" style """epic""" battles, and "Fast and Furious" dragon riding and the writes just wanna collect them checks and fuck off.
Sounds entitled af. And I salute the all the grueling hard work that went into the riveting battles.
Melisandre has a pretty deep voice in the audiobook.
"The war is hurting good innocent people... and Ed Sheeran."
Laughed hard on this one))
me too
Roasting a burn victim seems a little redundant, but that line was hilarious.
What’s wrong with Ed Sheeran?
Alt Shift X may you never go away after Game of Thrones ends
NBMarc westworld
I mean, the end of the books look quite far away anyway lol
I honestly wonder what he'll do after this, he's such a talented and fun dude I'd hate to see him disappear or run out of material.
NBMarc what is dead may never die
He could expand the channel to include covering new shows, shows that have ended organically, and shows that were canceled. Better Call Saul, Westworld, Stranger Things, The Handmaid's Tale, Atlanta, Mr. Robot, The Haunting of Hill House, Mindhuner, Ozark and Star Trek are just a few of the shows that are crushing their ratings and would fit into the channel's format. I also think hits like The Wire would be perfect with a pivot from speculation to summarization of the story with input from the cast and crew.
Bran "I'm waiting for an old friend"
he has to know, why else refer to him as an old friend?
yeah this really bothered me from this video specifically, if you're analyzing the show, pay attention to things like this... bran definitely saw jamie push him out, he knows (i havent watched ep 2 yet tho)
Some theories suggest he could have also been referring to Howland Reed, as he's the only living person who can confirm that Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen, aside from Bran and Sam, who Daenerys is sceptical to believe.
@@Chizzle69420 did u watch ep 2? (Slight spoiler) Bran knows everything about Jamie pushing him out the window, they talked about it. "Why are you outside" "I'm waiting for an old friend" *sees Jamie outside* He was 100% waiting outside for Jamie lol.
"Hurting good innocent people... and Ed Sheeran."
What a shady QUEEN! Lmao
Hbo should give episodes to alt shift x prior to telecast date so we can watch this masterpiece jst after the end of episode
HBO pls
At this point HBO would ask for national security levels of clearance for anyone to watch the show early.
Day before is better, gets you ready for the next episode. Over the next few hours your brain is preparing for what’s to come!

All of your GoT is ridiculously well researched, well thought out and easily digestible. Cheers ho
It's easily digestible because the writing is much simpler now.
In season 1, Ned said that the next time Ned and Jon see each other, they would discuss Jon's mother. That's what happens in this episode. Jon sees Ned (the statue) for the first time since season 1 and learns the secret.
"This is a reminder of the human cost of this war; it's hurting good, innocent people. And Ed Sheeran."
Who gives a damn about Ed Sheeran anyway? The scene was a waste of time that could've been used better.!
@@pamelaalsop7772 It was there to show that even the bad guys army is just human as you...
I still don't get why did people freak out about it.
@@pamelaalsop7772 yep
@@Surteronarto I didnt recognize him and people in the future probably won't either.
Sam woke Jon(dragon) from the cripts(stone). Sam is azor ahai confirmed.
jbot91
And Half-life 3.
GRR Martin modelled Sam after himself, so maybe he's just been playing the long con to say he's the true hero
Wasn't there some kind of prediction that a dragon's egg would hatch in the crypts of Winterfell? And just as Rhaegar Targaryen was the fulfilment of the prophesy of a dragon egg hatching at Summerhall and Aegon "Egg" Targaryen was the dragon's "egg" that "hatched" at Whitewalls during the last attempted Blackfyre rebellion, Jon Snow - in reality Aegon "egg" Targaryen - was the dragon that hatched when Sam revealed his lineage there in the crypts of Winterfell.
Born amidst salt and smoke could refer to winterfell as it was burned when theon was there
I like this idea.
I think that Arya and Gendry are an alternative symbolic of what-could-have-been had Lyanna Stark married Robert Baratheon.
Gendry is a much better man then his father though.
If Arya marries and has children, it'll be a total character assassination. It could happen in the show, though, these people don't care for consistent in-character writing.
11:02 Bran knows that Jaime pushed him. When Sam asked him what he was doing outside, he replied "waiting for an old friend" meaning Jaime
Ayyyy been waiting all week for this! Love your content man!!!
Thanks for waiting!
You know what i love about your video's? It feels like i just added another 20 minutes to the episode.
Pissed me off that Jon bent the knee to Danny when he didn't have to (He refused to kneel when his life was on the line but changed his mind when he saw Danny was honorable, typical Stark.
I did at first too. It fits better now. Like Sam said, Jon was willing to give up the throne for the good of the North. That isn't something Dany would do. It's like the Stannis quote about wanting the crown to save the kingdom (Dany), when he should have been saving the kingdom to be worthy of the crown (Jon).
@@xenosaga8436 except Dany already has done this..several times. She could've sailed for westeros to seek her throne earlier but stayed in Essos for several seasons for the purpose of liberating Slavers Bay. She did so again last season in riding north to save Jon and his crew and losing a child/dragon in the process. She's doing so again now by turning her focus away from Kings landing and bringing 2 armies and 2 armies to protect the north. She pledged to fight for and defend the north prior to Jon bending the knee. No character is perfect, but we do need to see that she has put aside her quest for the throne for the good of other people several times now.
@Mark Lucchese because like her Ancestor, Aegon I, that has been her life long goal.. The only thing she's known all her life that kept her going.
On the run all her life, sold off for an army, raped every night, forced to accept and make the best of her situation by making her rapist fall in love with her and then falling in love with that person... tbh, that fate is probably worse than dying! But the only thing that kept her going was her quest for the throne, to walk in her ancestors footsteps.
People say so much about Aegon the great but she's done 10% of what he had andnobody calls him mad infact most say he was a badass but Dany is labelled evil mad queen.
Sure she isn't very bright and not as enigmatic and charming like Aegon the first, but he conquered cities and laid ruins to armies as big as 50 thousand... Dany killed a few and suddenly she is mad...
@Mark Lucchese Also, Jon is not a messiah that everyone seems to think he is.. He saw Dothrakis dying, tons of white walkers but instead he wanted to wait for the night king.
Dothrakis are HER people, she is going to protect them. Its not his people, he doesn't give a toss. Also like it was mentioned in the video for second episode, waiting for night king and not utilising your dragons against wights is a stupid ass decision. All night king had to do was wait around and send his millions of wights!
Show writers are more comfortable having conversations that don’t move the plot forward while when the show followed the book almost every conversation and scene moved the plot forward
I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. I'm excited to see what is to come after Game of Thrones.

0:36 Small detail, but one that I liked. There's a fish in the river that represents the Black Fish escaping
There is a fish in the Lion's mouth, that's the black fish.
@@zafarabbas5563 Fish in the mouth is Rob's mother that died. The escaped fish is Rob's uncle that, I believed, left earlier because he had to take a piss outside.
@@manuelsoares9698 That incident happend several seasons ago, it makes no sense to depict that in the intro of the final season. Yes black fish escaped that day, but he decided to fight till death later in the last season, and Jamie's soldiers reported that to him clearly.

Love the bronn and krombopulous Michael connection
Bronn : Oh Boy, here I go killing again!
Cersei just prepaid someone to kill someone else who once promised to double the price on his own head to prevent an untimely death...
Cercei: I can give you half of westerous
Tyrion: um... _I drink and I know things?_
Bronn: SeRioUsly?
@@whitealliance9540 1)I don't think the reward would be that hefty 2)Tyrion would be obliged to give Bronn all of Westeros, which would at least be a funny conversation (Cersei's last barb)
@@bezukaking6860 lmao hehe just a fun joke trying to show that tyrion is in no position to trump any offer cercei could give to bronn 😂
Yeah that scene was very curious in a couple different ways. cause if you take everything that's said completely on face value, there the point of, as you said (& as they bothered to reiterate last season) Tyrion always had the deal with Bronn that he'd double the price if someone offered Bronn to betray him. But also if staying at face value, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that Cersei wouldn't have come to present such an offer in person, so then that gets into the (I would guess at the very least more than 50% of the hardcore fandom) knows that because of real life drama between Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn, they contractually won't be the same scene together. BUT, is there a chance that D&D are using a rare opportunity to sort of play with the audience's knowledge of that and trying to hide the fact that Cersei isn't aware of this assignment of Bronn's at all, that Qyburn is doing this all on his own, the extend of all his reasons why being somewhat unclear so far...
And of course this all beside the fact of Qyburn being given one hell of a one-liner as soon as he walks in, freaking out Bronn that he was just boning a disease-ridden whore lol
@@whitealliance9540 jeez, give the man some time
I understand impatience, but it takes TIME to make a recap this good. Waiting for it may be frustrating, but its quality lasts FOREVER.
Alysanne couldn't fly her one dragon beyond the wall, but Daenerys last season flew all 3 of them beyond the wall...
Maybe her dragon was just a coward, or the Writers are lazy...
The writers are idiotic
I took that as more, they knew they were on a rescue for a fellow Targaryen blood relative. They know they need to stick together, same as the Stark’s do, because they’re all that’s left. Just a thought!
@@jennas7155 if the dragons are thinking family and survival, they should have hesitated to go across the wall. They are afraid of something and now they are overcoming that fear.
It's just too much credit to give d&d
And look how that worked out
You forgot to mention that Sansa is now the cleverest character in the show...
She is undoubtedly little fingers protegé. Shes the only one who saw him move in honesty
Sansa's display of intelligence so far. Lying about little finger killing her aunt, telling john snow his battle plan wont work and then having no additional feedback, not telling john about possible reinforcements from the vale, not falling for little fingers manipulation for a 3rd time (with the help of the 3 eyed raven), counting bags of grain and knowing steel armour gets cold.
"cleverest person I know". Arya really needs to get out more.
Yes, extraordinaly smart while crying about who owns what with the army of the dead on their doorstep.
Not really. She is definitely a lot smarter but why the fuck is she complaining about not having enough food for everyone? What else were they supposed to do? Not have that army there?
Panda Pinecone She didn’t know an army that big would be coming that’s an insane amount of people, 50k plus! It’s a valid thing to be concerned about considering Dany even mentioned the dragons haven’t been eating enough. It’s a real problem.
The dialogue in some of the scenes was a bit cringy but other than that it was a solid episode. Still can’t get that weird ass waterfall scene outta my head. ‘Keep your queen warm’😬
In the books that is one of his fave place. That scene mirrors what Jon experienced with Ygritte.
@@lalixlili Yes but the dialogue is incredibly cringe worthy and not like game of thrones at all
That's just how new lovers talk. They're always cheesy, even if they can control dragons or are GOT Jesus. I thought the dialogue made sense and wasn't that cringey compared to the shit we've all said to our bf/gfs.
This is actually the best dialogue between two characters we've had since season 4
pl0x don't be harsh on it ;-;
"StAy BaCk! He'S gOt BlUe EyEs"
"I'vE aLwAyS hAd BlUe EyEs!"
12:21 But the Night King has mammoths.
I would die for a scene where Cersei sees the mammoths and side-eyes Harry
Henning Gu 😂😂😂 Omg that’s messed up. I visualized that in my head.
SO glad to have your videos for this final stretch. The fantastic research, clear writing and visual aids, and touch of humor are superbly done and I think it's gonna be a fun final season from a lore perspective.
Cercei crying wasn't a response to the pregnancy comment by Euron. It is clear that she is holding up a front in front of Euron. That's why she begins crying the second Euron shuts the door behind himself, because she is finally free to express her emotions.

It was good but not that good lmao.
The "born beneath a bleeding star" part of the prophecy could also be about jon. He was born next to dawn, a sword forged from a dying star, his mother was bleeding. And then obviously the 'promise me ned' (prince that was promised)
God, john Bradley acting when he found out what happened to his family in this episode is probably one of my favorite scenes in all of the series. His acting was so on point.
RIP Roy Dotrice, the voice behind the A Song of Ice and Fire audiobook series.
Season 8 was that bad
Your voice actually lowers my blood pressure 😁
So true hahaha
19:19 - You can hear the joy in Alt's voice when he perfectly mixed that audible ad into the video :D
In her vision, Daenerys doesn’t take the throne, but the throne is covered in snow. This is usually seen as a sign of the White Walkers, but maybe it’s meant as Jon Snow taking the throne.
I honestly lost it at "Psychic tree wizard"
Showing Gendry a diagram, Arya commissioned Gendry to build a black powder-fired dragon glass-tipped RPG, to nail the Night King, at a distance or in flight.

Hey Alt Shift X... It may have taken me a while to find you, but it was worth it. Your breakdowns and other videos are simply the best out there. Thank you.
The quote "the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives" obviously talks about sticking together but also sacrifice one can make for longevity of the pack like Benjen did for Jon
Your break downs are just as anticipated as the episodes themselves. Really great job on these, and as always that smooth sponsorship transition gets me every time haha.
Yeah i like these because i have bad memory and i had little idea what was going on in the episode.
You're the only producer to make GoT videos I watch. No over-hyping and blowing meaningless things out of proportion. No conspiracy theories beyond what's already apparent in the shows. Just explanation and exposition. Super informative and super chilled. Love your videos, man.
I missed your episode explanations so much and I wouldn't have enjoyed this series without your vids
i love the indirect comparison of the knights watch and the wildlings now being allies as opposed to the more diplomatic figures
Uh, clearly what will happen is the Night King will disarm Jon Snow during the final battle, and Arya clad in battle gear will run forward to defend him. While the two of them are fighting, Samwell Tarly, in a callback to when he saved Gilly, finds a dragonglass dagger nearby and stabs the Night King in the calf.
The Night Kings says "Fools, no man can kill me"
at which point Arya removes her helmet, exclaims "I am no man" and stabs NK in the face.
I definitely think the elephants thing was just an on the nose joke
WelshGrey I feel like they added the elephant part to make us understand that the army is not as great as it was expected. No elephants, some of them died to play dices vs euron.... It was kind of a disappointing presentation and I guess the elephant part was meant to add to this feeling of disappointment.
Or they want to disappoint you early so you'll be pleasantly surprised later. It doesn't make sense why they wouldn't have elephants. They had woolly mammoths in season 4. I could definitely be wrong though.
I don't know what I'll miss more. GoT or your in depth analysis. Great work!
The pitch towards the end always makes me chuckle. Nicely done.
Thank you for being the only person I’ve seen online who actually tells us something about the spiral.
Had to take a pause, I am at the 58 second mark and I must say you are the BEST providing key details and tying it all together. Superb Job man!
Love your thoughtful insights and careful analysis--and the style in which you present the information! You are one of the only two GoT breakdown/theory channels I will subscribe to! I am looking forward to Season 8 and will continue to explore all of videos more connected to the books....
I love how you imply that Ed Sheeran isn't a good innocent person lmao
Bran: [stares in Three Eyed Raven]
05:10 arya said the same as she did to hot pie when he asked her if she ever made a pie...
''1 or 2''=> ''once or twice''
Thomas Feinherb Nice catch!
both involved killing people also, one involved baking a dead person
That's literally the best ad setup ever! Good job.
You forgot that Brann says he's "Waiting for a friend", so he was definitely waiting for Jamie to arrive at Winterfell.
Ned is danys brother in law. Idk why, I never put that together hehe
Ned is Jon's uncle, and Dany is Jon's aunt. Jon and Dany having sex is to the same degree of incest as Jon and Ned.
@@chiefnuclear4570 Oh dear God. I was disturbed by it already but that just made it way worse 😂
Chief Nuclear they are even closer bcs of the Targaryen incest throughout the generations. Gross
As in they share more DNA
@man0z I doubt 'killing jon's fam' had much to do with it. Ned was against killing Any child, even Joffrey.
Was watching an AltShiftX video, browsed my phone, got the notification and instantly came here. Keep it up beautiful accent boi
Have you worked out what his accent is? I bet you can't.
@@geraldjmpetrie3632 Have no clue. At first i thought it was New Zealand but i'm not sure. Adds to his mysteriousness though
@@geraldjmpetrie3632 he's austrian lol
He's Australian
@@Glidus Mate, he's Australian
"the war is hurting good innocent people, and Ed Sheeran" i fucking love the sneaky humor in these videos man. everything about your content is perfect. always has been.
Anyone else notice in the intro that the white tiles (symbolizing winter and the Night King and his army) had gone all the way to the Last Hearth? They told us the Night King had already taken it before the episode began.
"This is a reminder of the human cost of this war: it's hurting good, innocent people ... and Ed Sheeran" lol
I didn't know Rob Mcelhenney from Sunny was in the episode! That just made my day hahaha. Obviously great video as always.
Martin Starr was there too for a split second! czcams.com/video/LyEmgGpNKFk/video.html
An episode isn't over until altshiftx reviews.
I feel like I waited longer for this video than I did for the actual episode.. lol :)
well you technically did
I've been refreshing my youtube feeds every 15 minutes for this video and it's totally worth it
we're back, baby! smooth transition at the end btw!
I like how you noted the timing of when bran decided to have sam tell jon his true lineage.
