"He is the commander we turned to when the night was darkest" is such a raw cold line
I was wondering why no one mentioned it in comment sec, that gives me chills all the time.
Nothing beats this comment. It gave me chill and so much admiration for Sam and how good GOT was.❤️
Yeeees!
Maester Aemon changing the world’s fate in one action.
He did that many Times.
In the show he won by a slim margin.
In the books though, Jon snow won by an overwhelming majority. After many rounds of voting with the forerunners being Janos Slynt of Castle Black, Ser Denys Mallister of Eastwatch, and Cotter Pyke of Shadow Tower, nobody seemed to have a clear majority, however Janos Slynt seemed to be gaining ground after every round of voting. To prevent Slynt from becoming the Lord Commander, Samwell Tarly convinced Cotter Pyke and Denys Mallister's men to cast their votes to Jon Snow and break the deadlock, since both were not too fond of Slynt either, both knew that their vote share was slowly slipping away, and they both would eventually lose out to Slynt. They however saw a common ground in Jon. Their combined vote shares saw Jon win easily by a thick margin in the next round of voting. And thus, Jon Snow, the 16 year old bastard by Ned Stark, ended up becoming the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
@@ar3039 by the time he is elected he is like 19 though is he not?
@@codyvandal2860 Many under-18 characters from the books were "aged up" (because of obvious reasons!). In the books, Jon snow was born in 283AC, which made him almost 16-17yrs of age when he took up reins of the Black, Daenerys was 15-16 yrs old when she commanded the unsullied and conquered the slaver cities, and Sansa Stark was only 12 when her father was executed.
Aemon**
" Lying in a puddle of his own makin' " gets me every single time!
Even Aemon is quietly laughing like "Samwell doesn't need dragons to get that bitch BURNED"
what does it means
@@Whitehouse7814 He pissed himself
@@devanov3103 I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS, COFFEE CAME OUT MY NOSE
I love how even Aemon smiles when Sam roasts Slint.
Bro cooked him alive jeesuss
It was actually really cool the way Ser Allistar agreed with everything that Samwell said about Jon, but only pointed out the obvious (which was indeed true) that Jon had a very soft spot for the wildlings.
If Jon and Allistar could've worked together, they could've done some amazing things.
I don't think so, cuz Allistar's idea of a night's watch was warped, and wildlings were it's true eney in his eyes.
@@MrSam1804 yes but imagine the things he dealt with and had to endure for 20 years. How many friends he watched killed, farmers and villages destroyed etc. Ollie has every reason to despise the wildlings too (even Tormund). If Ser Allistar could've taken a real chance trusting Jon Snow instead of betraying him, I think they could've rallied the Wildlings and joined forces and manned every single castle on the wall together, and kept the Night King and Army of the Dead from ever getting past the wall.
If only Allistar knew Jon was from the bloodline he loyally served.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 its weird how he did not ''want'' to understand. i thought he saw the white walkers and still disagree for some reason
Right. Especially considering he was a loyal Targaryen supported & was close to Rhaegar. If only he got to know Jon was Raeghar's son.
998th Lord Commander - Jon snow.
999th - Jon snow Zombie mode
1000th - Jon Snow again after being stripped of his throne by Bran.
No fair! How come 'e gets to be Lord Commander thrice in a row, eh? Buggerin' politicin', I tells ya!
so much for term limits
Edd was in there somewhere...probably 999 or 1000....
u forgot his frnd who was given the castle by jon when jon joined war
@@ashishhoodamitti1169 See my comment above yours...
Seriously one of the most wholesome moments on the show. Sam showing he’s a true friend and Jon finally get credit and recognition for all the work he’d done
God this show was amazing
Even with the rushed final 2 seasons, I still love this series. It just peaked with season 4 that's all.
Please don’t use God in vain. Thank you, may God bless you and everyone. ❤

@@ChickenWings103 And the 7 hells lol.
I guess D&D knew that Sam telling jon being Targaryen wouldn’t amount to much later on, so they gave him this
Ser Alliser's greatest flaw was his inability to set aside his hatred of the wildlings, especially given the nature of the threat posed by the White Walkers. Perhaps if he had been at Hardhome with Jon, he would have reevaluated his viewpoint. Humans have a very difficult time letting go of their hatred.
He fought for King Aerys, he hates Jon for being the bastard of the man who helped overthrow the king.
@@Agentshadlingwhile john is the son of that same king. Ironic
Rhaegar, but whatever@@ssark9187
@@ssark9187Grandson **
Given that Jon makes him First Ranger, he's probably hoping that Ser Allister learns more about what is actually beyond the Wall
Half those clapping probably did so just for Sam having the balls to speak up.
He spoke what most were thinking but weren't ready to face the consequences for supporting John Snow.
He spoke quite a lot of times
Sam absolutely slayed Janos Slynt here. 💀💀💀☠☠☠
Like someone else said Slynt must have been of Targaryen bloodline because nobody could survive such a burn.
SAM THE SLAYER YEEAH
Master Aemon choose jon snow because he knows the prophecy, "when the white walkers comes, A Targaryen must lead all the people of Westoros to defend it."
Only the kings and heirs were told about this. Aemond was never expected to take the throne so it’s unlikely he knew
@@princeomari7 He was quite close with his brother Aegon V, it's not impossible that Egg told him the prophecy when Aemon decided to follow Bloodraven to the Wall.
Who told Maester Aemond that John was a Targaryean? Unless John smells distinctly Targaryen, there is no way that he knew who John's real father was.
Since when is his name “Aemond”?
@@stvdagger8074 there is alot of foreshadowing including his care of Jon to suggest he knew but you are correct there is no absolute conformation he knew at all. As far as we know from what we've seen he didn't. Tho it would be cool
if you’ve read the books, you’d know that Ser Denys Mallister also would have been a great choice for Lord Commander, he’s a great leader for real.
he was also very old and might have died within a year. He gives his votes to Jon, which is what really helped him win.
I always found it a little odd/uncomforable how the show only gave him like 1/5th of the votes, it just never sat right
yeah and if you've read the books his orthodox ways spawned Mance Rayder
Hilariously enough, in the books I believe he commanded Eastwatch, not the Shadow Tower. The guy who commanded the Shadow Tower was a great fighter but also a dick.
I'm curious can you elaborate?
And with that tie breaking vote, Maester Aemon unknowingly sentenced Jon Snow to his death lol
It's "Jon". Even youtube auto generate subtitles can write his name right.
@@Monizious Damn man you sure corrected him. I wouldn't have known otherwise.
I think that's Ser Alliser weakest moment. He knew Jon had the support to oppose him so he had to get a dig in and try to upset the balance. Dick move.
We are currently having presidential elections in Czech republic, second round between two candidates.
One is a retired army general, hero who led his men on voluntary misson to save French soldiers in 90s on Balkans, respectful member of NATO institutions and quite chilled and skilled diplomat with tons of experience.
His opponent is agricultural magnate, a billionare, that doesn´t know common things from even a 5th grade of elementary school, though instead of humble saying "I don´t know" he attacks everyone with counterquestions and discussions fauls, refusing to answer and bringing instead unrelated topics. A guy, who through massive PR campaign gotten into politics and currently profits generally from poorest and socially disadvantages people to be voted for - all thanks to massive populism using lies and clamining he works for people, while at the same time people work in his companies at minimum wage and at bad conditions barely making up standards done by law.
It you would have though that the billionare stands no chance, you might be surprised that first round they were tied in range of statistic mistake (though there was a choice from 8 people there). Second roung coming this weekend and what ser Alliser did was dirty, but at least in boundaries. Our oligarch candidate spits shiet wherever he goes, trying anything to disgust as many democratic voters to not go vote in second round while at the same time does his best to appeal to more radical wings. This even lead to a diplomatic faux paux, because there is a war next to NATO´s border and this fukker even told he wouldn´t order our troops to come to help of our neighboring country in case they needed, all because he wants to appeal as "anti war" and "pacifist" to distinguish from former army general.
I hope that "our Jon Snow" will win here, too, because dirties campaing has never been seen before in my country. Especially when it is running from only one side, the generel´s side plays more positive ways.
Watching this scene reminded me of reality i live in too much
@@siriusczech damn
@@siriusczech Good luck amigo
@@Daydy377 60:40 against populism, lies and oligarchism. John Snow has won!
Funny thing: populistic candidate claimed researches are manipulated and encouraged everyone to go bet in favour of his victory. Tons of his sheeps went for it due to high course. Now they want their money back, claiming it was their money for vacation, pension or crucial money. 😀 that's how we live here
@@siriusczech To those who read this comment in the future, the general ended up winning, which presents hope for the future. Congratulations to you, from your polish neighboors, we sincerely hope General Petr Pavel continues to serve your country well on his new presidential position.
"he might be young but he's the commander we turned to when the night was the darkest."
Jon to Sam: "Just stop it! She's my Queen!"
See is muh queeen !!!
Sam - you are 3 seasons early
I don't want it. He is muh commanduh
kind of ironic that Sir Alisor was a Targaryen loyalist but hated Jon lol
Well, obviously he was completely oblivious to that fact.
@@perra7749 Doesn't take away from the irony
@@Jdb63 Tbh, I agree with you. I do wonder, though, if Ser Alliser actually knew about Jon's real parentage, would he actually care for Jon? Seeing as Jon was still half Stark, and Ser Alliser loathed them all.
@@perra7749 I believe, if assume he'd believe that, he would switch and support Jon, the kind of people like him are loyal to what they believe it, right or wrong.
lord janos friends in court will not allow how sam roast him in this meeting
"Can't argue with any of that"
*proceeds to argue*
No he didn't. He argued a different point entirely.
No he didn't he didn't argue anything sam said he just pointed out the soft spot for wildings
I do like how they try to make Jon promoting Thorne to first ranger as a peace offering, when in the book Stannis told him he needs to get both him and Slynt away from there, so he pretty much wanted to send Thorne to his death beyond the wall, and Slynt far away to another tower
Jon had brilliant hype men around him. First Samwell and then the Onion Knight Davos.
Jon should have been King.
We'll see how they can salvage the character with the new series
He dun wanit

In the books it was a landslide for Jon and he wasn't even present for the vote lol.

For on screen drama lol
That explains his silence
Where was he?

I love that Master Aemon laughed when Sam was talking about Sir Janos cowering with Gilly and baby Sam 😂😂😂
Sam’s speech is all time.
i hate that jon wasn’t in a position of power for long. he was the lord commander for a season. half of his stint was spent on the mission to hardhome. when he was king in the north it was for a season, most of it was spent on dragon stone. hopefully we see more in the Snow series.
Snow series?
@@GhANeC pretty self explanatory
@@sebiieex No, pretty dumb because there's not much heard of it and is likely never going to happen. You just can't say much about because you also know fuck about it. Nothing self explanatory about it you muppet.
...I've got bad news
Hmm
“Maester, you already voted.”
Aemon: It’s already in there. Nothing I can do.
I wish they would have shown Samwell doing his political wheeling and dealing like it was in the book, the way he got two of the other candidates who hated each other, vote for Jon Snow because they both didn't like Thorne. Samwell was at his best in this part of the book, and they only show a small fraction of it.
Oh totally agreed. It was great. And Mormont’s raven.
Looking for this comment because great as this scene was, the books did it so much better, showing that Sam is intelligent and knows how to play the game. Also, Jon had no idea that Sam was going to make him Lord Commander until it happened. I also liked how there was wayyyy more candidates and it drug out over many days, with many more brothers changing their votes as candidates were removed.
@@certifiedredditgenius exactly, Sam might not have been a good soldier, but he would have been great getting the houses of the North and Riverlands to come to Jon's aid if he wasn't sent away to become a maester.Its a shame his father just looks past him. I dont think he needed to send Samwell to the wall, i'm sure he would have stepped aside for his brother and would have made an excellent advisor for his brother
@@christopherfoley8322 Logically, you're right, it doesn't make sense. But it adds to Randyll Tarley's character that he did. A no nonsense guy who only places value in strength. Also, I think GRRM just didn't want Sam around when Jon died because logically Sam would also have to die.
Tbh, it sucks that the whole series wasn't finished when D&D got their hands on it because GRRM is such a master storyteller and his books, unchanged and put to film, would truly have been a work of the century.
Can't wait till Winds comes out

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Slynt is a targaryen for surviving those burns from sam.
Alliser Thorne is actually a Targeryan loyalist...
Wonder how he would have reacted had he known Jon is a Targeryan and heir to the throne...
He probably wouldn't believe it, even if Sam showed evidence. His hatred for Jon would blind him just like his hatred for wildings
@@elplagas3279 THE topic was if he knew
Shame maester Aemon didn’t vote for Denys Mallister, i was rooting for him
Aemon is the great grand uncle of Jon and he had the decisive vote
Nepotism.....

considering the size of the room, its amazing anyone could even hear Sam speak when he gave his monologue
What a speech by Sam!
Look how Oliver was happy XD The Irony !
3:50 what a waste of a perfectly suitable vase
Dude i thought the same, they could have just poured the tokens out but no they had to break it
How different things would’ve been if aemon had been king instead of his brother.
Thanks for this clip....
man that was some story. glory days of GOT.
One of the best scene of GOT❤
This scene is as close as gets to the book being the script for the show. The dialogue and the order of scenes are almost identical to the book.
Not at all. Sam's scheming is omitted completely.
Jon wins the vote by a landslide in the books.
It's not really accurate as it could've been from the book.
-No Sam scheme
-Aliser spoke in favor of janos NOT the other way around
- Mormonts Raven sat on Jon's shoulder too
1:51 Maester Aemon approves of that sick burn.
Master Aemon is such a good character in the show
I LOVE how not 1 single man questioned Janos hiding and wetting his pants😂😂
Man he should have left Denys Mallister in command when he went for Hardhome and took Thorne with him.
Just imagining Thornes reaction to the undead army and the even larger army of wildlings that all joined the undead in a few minutes just has to turn his brain upside down. Maybe he would wonder and think ''why would Bran the Builder Stark build a 200m tall, 500km long and 100m thick Wall to keep out regular PEOPLE!?!?''
Ignorance is wild
I would've fucking loved to see that.
The wire... Game of thrones.. the sopranos... Martin... Greatest shows ever!!!
And they all lived happily ever after!
2:35 He's the Commander we turn to when the night is darkest😌
He also became the simp lord of the north
Heartbreaking to know a lot of those men ended up regretting their choice later on, even though it was absolutely the right one to go with.
I love how despite being enemies Sam and Alister both acknowledge the strengths of the other side. Sam says" Sir Alister fought bravely, its true" and Alister says, after Sam lists all the acomplishments of Jon "I can't argue with any of that"
Sam gave one hell of a story and Jon
1:56 Sam the slayer truly!!! 😂
Dennis Mallister: The Ross Perot of Castle Black 😬
I Always forget that Sir Allister speaks after Sam. And even though He hates John from his point of view he makes a good point.
when your jon snow, and you go and meet the wildlings, and not only is this bravery beyond compare, and especially as since the dawn of time everyone in the north has no doubt been telling everyone about how these savage people can never be tamed or approached if you value your life, and yet not only did jon snow meet them and find a place among them, and all without losing his head from his body, he also fell in love with one of them. and if you too are in the presence of a red headed she devil who both wants to kill you, and take you to her bed, and yet you survive, and this is no doubt another reason why jon snow is a great man, and would be the only choice to be the next lord commander.
Gods the writing was good then. Sam really carried the team lol
I liked how this transpired in the books a little more
In the books Mormont's crow sits on Jhon's shoulder like it used to do to Jeor, influencing the result.
how to make something as mundane as voting and politics into such an exciting and emotional scene is truly mind blowing
I take it you've never watched a political drama?
I wonder why all original Got scenes were deleted
In the book, Sam was great in getting Jon elected.
The Lord Cammanda!
Kept his enemies closer
Season 8 still breaks my heart
I'm not sure how any of the actors didn't speak up during the script reading. Like it's the last season they can't do much even if you do speak out against the script. Still need to act out your scenes. Actors should have stood together for a better script.
So many things broke my heart that year…😔
It boils my blood
Jon: I don't want it. Ser Allistar is muh commanduh
Thanks
Samwell Tarlys interruption made him the Lord Commander of the Nightswatch!!
Sam manipulated the vote pretty hard in the book. They had voted for 10 days in a row and nobody had gotten 2/3 of the vote (the amount needed to win) and Stannis told them they were being forced to vote that night once and for all. Sam went the day before and lied to both the men who were in the lead (there were 4 real contenders) and told them that Stannis was going to support their rival (each other) if they didn’t get 2/3s that day and that they could pull their support to Jon instead. He also trained all the ravens to say “Snow” like Lord commander Mormonts raven used to and put one in the kettle which was being used to count the votes. When they took the top off of the kettle, it landed on Jon’s shoulder and squawked snow a bunch of times kinda as a seal of legitimacy.
All in all it was politicking as politicking tends to be, but it definitely involved a lot of subversion and lying unlike the show where he was elected more off of his full merit for the position
The Nobel Prize in Westeros should have been given to Measter Aemon. Incredible character. Also, everyone was waiting for Sam to nominate Jon.
Took real guts for Sam to handle that the way he did. Underrated
Who knew the Night's Watch invented democracy?
Look at the comparison in the writing in this scene compared to the last two seasons.
Im surprised Thorn didnt start shouting, “This election was rigged, I wont except it”
JON!! JON!! JON!!
What? This was way better in the books!! Damn yall gotta read that, the chapter Jon becomes Lord Commander is one of my favorites. Ghost comes back and Jon wins the election because of Sam’s trickery and Lord Mormonts raven, it was awesome…I haven’t watched the show in a minute and I was like I don’t remember that happening on the show, fuck I wish we had the winds of winter and dream of spring so more people would just forget about the show and read the books as cannon.
Sam was part of Jon destiny’s. A key element of the prophecy foretold.
Sam standing up for himself was the turnaround point for sam for me.
I need to re watched GOT again
two Targeryans at the edge of Westeros................. the conqueror would have been proud
Jon Snow drank that glass empty a good 3 times in this clip.
Good times...
2:48 Everything before the word but
The "first past the post" voting system doesn't work for more than two candidates. They should have eliminated the third-place candidate and revoted.
In the books Ser Denys gives Jon his vote, which swings the election totally against Ser Alliser. Jon doesn't even realize he was a candidate
First past the post voting is stupid anyway. Everyone voted, one got more votes, that's all that matters.
@@bunglewungle261 you are explaining exactly what FPTP means lol
the biggest upset for me in this scene, was the way they broke the clay pot the votes were in. the votes went in easy enough, they wouldve come out just as easily.....why break the damn pot??!! when will we find out what ever happened with the shards...were they reassembled? were they thrown out? COME on!
He was blind, he put it on the wrong one
If the tokens were Thorne-Snow-Mallister, the votes would have been 28-30-10. Not only there was no "tie" but maestre Aemon even gave Jon an extra vote. :/
Ser Denys Mallister let's goo
2:44 - Breaks my heart to see Olly cheer for Jon, only to be later hanged by Jon for treason.
Now I'm wondering how the voting process works. Each candidate is assigned a shaped token, and the vase seems to be an effort to keep people's votes anonymous. At what point do they get a token? Does someone walk around with a box full of them and people choose the one they want before eventually going up to deposit it?
Always bet on family😂
3:30 still cant understand wtf this was lol why break it? Just flip it upside down 😂
This is a huge moment for Samwell Tarly. He started out a coward but it took courage to speak up at this moment - not only to nominate Jon but also to roast the fuck out of Janos Slynt.
What a character arc. He starts out a pathetic wimp with no backbone. By the end, he's slaying white walkers, dissing the former commander of the King's Landing city watch for pissing himself, and making some pretty decent contributions to the war against the dead.
Episode number?
998th, huh?
George is either planning something big for the 1k Captain, or it's gonna be an ironic move, and it's a scarecrow or something.
only if sir alester knew whi jhon really was , he would have himself started the march to the kings landing
It’s been a long time, but didn’t Commander Mormont’s raven shout out “Snow!” or something?
In the book, Sam pulled all the right strings to get John elected.
It's actually way more impressive that he won when you consider that aside from Sam, all of his friends on the Night's Watch are dead.
4:06 stop the count!
