If only Lady Talisa had thought to sprint away and parkour her way out of the Red Wedding after her pregnant belly was stabbed a few times. If only she had known that was a viable option in this show…
And she could even have dropped into the river afterwards because there is a river at the twins...
On the other hand, she never learned how to fight while blind so she would probably have died from infection later #D&Dlogic
@@rolandfeussner1892 YES! But she could have swam down the trident to Braavos and become the waif! Dun dun dun!! She never learned to fight blind which is why she lost to Arya!!!

You forgot that Arya unlocks ultimate plot armor in season 1, when she was training with Syrio Forel. All she has to do is say to the God of Death "not today" and she's invincible until midnight. The God of Death operates on a very strict schedule.
Lmao
I think it's key to remember with Arya being blatantly killed is that THEY WROTE THIS
This isn't some thing George wrote that they had to write their way out of, they could have just NOT made Arya so blatantly and overwhelmingly dead
Yeah I haven't even watched this video yet but I have to assume you're talking about the time she got stabbed and then ran around like nothing happened. It's absolutely absurd that Professionals of any sort were responsible for writing seasons 6 through 8.
This is true, but also George isn't above definitively killing a character only to have a "psych!" moment a few chapters / books later
Ramsay Snow, Theon Greyjoy, Brienne of Tarth
Cool thing though
@@BionicIguana The difference is that George usually uses vague or duplicitious language, which doesn't work in the show as we can see what happens.
Glimbus admitting mistake for passing on Osha. This is why he's our Lord

It's a reference to his Smash or Pass agot characters video
i paused the video, looked at it and literally first thoughts was osha is a smash
Osha is mid though, lol.
Tyrion not knowing about that Eunuch study from 1960 was simply unforgivable
Yeah he's suppose to be smart
It's so sad to hear Nikolaj say "I don't know what that is anymore" about the direction of his character… Like imagine playing one of the most complex and interesting character in the show with amazing dialog and character development and then he has to play this(( And the worst is yet to come!
Arya's stabbing and subsequent survival is so batshit insane in such specific ways that I genuinely believe that the creators involved had two minds about where it was going.
*I legitimately think that the Writer, Bryan Cogman, thought Arya's stabbing was supposed to be a fake-out*
Episode Seven, The Broken Man, was directed by Mark Mylod and written by Bryan Cogman. Episode Eight, No One, was also directed by Mark Mylod but was written by David and Dan.
I don't know what was going on in Mark Mylod's mind, but given just how plausible it was that Arya's death was faked in Episode Seven, it feels like Bryan Cogman, who has generally been pretty good at these episodes, purposefully led it in that direction through the writing, and then David and Dan in the next episode totally threw that out the window. Perhaps plans changed, or maybe they just didn't communicate well, or Bryan was rebelling, or maybe he just wanted to grow theory-hype, but the writing (and directing but again I have no idea what Mylod was doing) in Episode Seven absolutely feels like he planned on the whole final scene to be a fake-out.
Maisie Williams uses her left-hand across the entirety of Game of Thrones despite being right-handed because Arya is left-handed, and yet in that *one scene* she is seen using her right-hand to do things. She just walks around and smiles and doesn't seem to be alert to anything despite knowing there will be assassins after her. She is just out in the open, unguarded and without Needle. She saunters in way we have never seen Arya saunter before or since. She's wearing different clothes, and she is making her intentions to leave be known.
This is not just poor writing, this is *actual evidence* that this is Jaqen H'gar wearing her face to lure his unruling disciple, the Waif, into attacking him.
But of course, that is simply not the case. Episode Eight reveals it was her all along. Which is absolutely insane. I cannot believe all of that set-up was merely just... an accident? Bryan Cogman had to have done this purposefully. I simply can't believe someone could fuck up a scene *that badly*.
Perhaps it was purposeful across the production team. It is just done in such a way to get people talking and theorising just to keep up the hype? It's shady but they're not above it. Include a bunch of evidence for an obvious theory so people keep talking about it for the next week. But, if that's the case, why not just... go through with the theory, make their audience feel clever for figuring it out while shocking the rest with the clever reveal, like with Bran and Rickon surviving in Season 2? Why drop it then? Unless they wanted to subvert expectation with purposefully dogshit writing. How the fuck does one even rationalise that?
It's just difficult to believe that they accidentally wrote in all this evidence for a theory that just makes sense.
How do you accidentally do something like that? It's like if GRRM accidentally wrote the Red Wedding, with all the evidence leading up to it and the whole scene itself... and then the next chapter just had Catelyn and Walder Frey and Roose Bolton and Robb Stark just talking about how "now that little argument is over, let's talk about the next steps of the war" and it was never addressed again, he just forgot that he had killed them all off.
Utter insanity. The scene at the end of The Broken Man is not only the moment the show entirely jumps the shark, but the moment they show how well they can jump the shark and then get eaten by a bear and somehow reconstitute itself seconds later and then never bring up the bear, the shark, or the ramp ever again.
classic TAM essay i ain't reading all that shit
i read all that shit and you're dead on
I was like 100% convinced it was a fake out when I first saw it, and a fairly good fakeout with some nice supporting evidence at that. The fact that it wasn't in the next episode was so stunning that it's the exact moment I completely gave up on the show and skimmed through every episode released after that.
I wish I could use the discord emotes here
Ohhhh David and Dan wrote this episode. That must be why it’s one of the worst episodes of Season 6
"Georged you"
This needs to enter common parlance. Just like "I'm Joshing" means joking, from now on "You're Georging me" will mean making someone wait an inordinately long amount of time to fulfill a promise.

You can't blame Glimbomasnow for taking this long when the jokes-per-second ratio is this high.
that's a new one, good job
Glidus's procrastination is just paying homage to the guy whose work he's referring to when making these analyses.
the waif is really one of the worst characters D&D wrote. The entire point of the Faceless Men is that they abstain from personal desires and biases, anything that could make them distinct individuals. Yet the waif, who we can assume is high enough in the cult hierarchy to train new members, constantly shows personal bias against Arya for being born a noble DESPITE that not mattering AT ALL if Arya becomes a member of the murdercult, to the point where she actively sabotages Arya's training and tries to kill her when the Faceless Men normally only kill when given a (paid for) target.
Instead of reprimanding the waif for the clear personal grudge she holds and reminding her that she must be no one to properly fill her role (LIKE HE SHOULD), Jaqen instead just kind of shrugs and even eggs her on? Like how badly is the waif written that she even makes Jaqen's writing worse lol.
Her whole weird one-sided rivalry with Arya just smacks of that stupid "if there are two women in the same environment they must be rivals" trope that D&D love using (Sansa & Dany, Cersei & Margaery, every scene with the sand snakes, you get the point).
Your last statement made so much sense to me right now. Of course D&D would think that the waif is like "Who's that new girl, I don't like her, she's a biatch". Her character frustrated me so much.
Why even have her in the show, she doesn't make the slightest sense no matter which angle you're trying to look at it from.
What is strange is that Margaery is originally so much better developed charcter then in the books where she is for the most part a sort of mcguffin for the civil war to function and partly to resolve it...then just render her impotant and dumb and just kill her off
@@oOoCassandraSteeloOo so we can have a pointless conflict to drag out the Braavos plot and a bossfight for Arya to defeat so she can become the ultimate superninja, duh
@@kalinmir Something that also really bothers me about Margaery's writing in the show vs the books it that it so clearly shows that D&D do not understand the concept of unreliable narration AT ALL.
In the books, most of the allegations of Margaery being an ambitious, power hungry schemer come from CERSEI, one of the most notoriously paranoid characters who is known to accuse people of all kinds of ill will towards her and her family (especially other women). She also believes Margaery is the "younger and more beautiful" queen of Maggy the Frog's prophecy come to cast her down, further fueling her negative interpretations of Margaery's every action. Margaery gifts Tommen some kittens? She must be trying to manipulate him and separate him from Cersei. Margaery is kind to the smallfolk and being charitable? She must be trying to get the populace on her side to undermine Cersei.
Anyone with basic reading comprehension can see that a lot of the accusations are paper thin and lack any concrete evidence, supporting the idea that Cersei has a warped view of the world (and is likely projecting too), and that Margaery probably isn't a scheming monster.i Its more likely she is just kind sometimes (something Cersei probably can't comprehend). Not saying she isn't politically aware, but not the vile seductress of Cersei's imagination.
D&D however completely lack that reading comprehension, so they took Cersei's paranoia at face value and made Margaery exactly the scheming seductress that she imagined, with no nuance at all because, again, if there are two powerful women in the same location, they must be rivals and constantly catfight.
George puts such effort into portraying the women in his work as complex, flawed and mutidimensional characters, but D&D just make them Hashtag Girlbosses, decoration for the scenery, or complete villains, with no ground between and no level of complexity whatsoever. Also they can never work together without bickering, because I guess thats what D&D think women do.
Post season 5 Arya is a close second.
him calling ramsey a "a sadistic little bean" is why i love this guy so much
Maybe Arya being the deadest of dead people in the show is how she was able to sneak up on Rhaegar in Season 8, they all knew she was dead too.
HOLY SHIT, I FIGURED IT OUT! Arya Stark actually did die, and the person we saw for the rest of the show is a faceless man, walking around with Arya's face.
That would explain all of her weird, creepy and inconsistent behavior for the rest of the show; her super-assassin skills (like besting Brienne, killing ALL of the Freys at once, and killing Reaghar); her ability to survive anything (Kings Landing explosions); the fact that she did not connect or over connected with the ones she once knew (Sansa, Jon and Nymeria); and last but not least, her literally just sailing off the edge of the earth.
In fact, they pretty much fucking announced it when they said "A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell." The assassin was announcing the persona she adopted. How/why else would a cult of super-assassins just let a less-than-half failure of a trainee walk away with faces, and their secrets? They wouldn't UNLESS they knew they had to play a part in killing Reaghar (or someone paid them or some shit).
I don’t think the faceless men caught feelings for Gendry.
@@youngnat haha, ok, fair enough... but I doubt that "one night of luke-warm passion" can be translated as "feelings". She didn't really seem to care much for him otherwise.

And take all the time you need buddy, I genuinely want to add more things to that list
I feel like you’re glossing over the point that D&D did not need to have Arya get stabbed in the stomach and thrown in the sewage river. It would’ve been just as easy for that to not happen. Like just have Arya have different injuries she could reasonably survive. That’s probably less money to the effects budget as well.
Yeah she could just have been lightly stabbed or something and still be patched up by lady crane. Like say she manages to escape the waif but has a dagger in her back or something. This episode didn't have to break the plot.
These idiots wanted to shock the audience of "is she dead?" at least for 30 seconds until we see that she is not. lol
This issue has such a laughably easy solution that I think they just wanted a "WTF ARYA IS DEAD!!!!" reaction from the audience on purpose which is ridiculously dumb

Apparently Glidus also has Arya and John Snows plot armour.
Littlefinger's army is actually a quantum object. It is constantly on the move so we can never know it's precise location. Also I'm glad to watch another episode of my favorite bi-yearly youtube show.
What makes even less sense is why would they march through the Riverlands to go to Moat Cailin when they could have sailed to White Harbor and been closer to Winterfell.
The Vale has a history of sailing to the North which is far quicker than traveling through enemy territory that is the Riverlands. Like how does no one see a huge fucking Vale army and not report that whomever is in charge. Especially as they would have had to cross through Frey lands to get there
Unless Sansa needs to write a letter
At first I thought it was really weird that the Waif didn't slit Arya's throat given that she was in prime throat-slitting range. But then I remembered that it's not possible to survive that, whereas it's completely possible to survive multiple stab wounds to the abdomen. People will bring up blood poisoning but there's actually not a single instance of anyone dying from an infected wound in GoT, so we can't be sure disease exists in this world. And probably one of the faceless man powers is being immune to exsanguination, because fuck it.
Khal Drogo?
@@christopherfrank24 Horses don't really count as characters IMO.
By god, he's right!
@@christopherfrank24 died from being pillowed to death
Robert got an infection from that boar (which did less damage to him than the waif did to arya of course) and died because of that, maybe the infection wasn't mentioned in the show though.
Lord glimbo, we are patiently awaiting the return of the s6 pisstake 😫💪
I recently saw a theory that the Waif was in Arya's head, like Tyler Durden or something.
And while I don't think that's what the writers were doing, it is what I choose to believe to make watching the whole Braavos thing more bareable.
Also, thank you Glidus for recognising your error in passing on Osha.
When I saw that scene I didn't think it was real. Just like I didn't it was real when I saw Bron charge at Jaime with full armor on into deep waters. At this point, plenty of GoT moments seemed unreal until you hear they were intentionally made by crap showrunner. I know it should say showrunners but there's basically one and the other is just an amoeba attached to the other.
I am one of the many who thinks - who prefer thinking - that Arya Stark is dead in Braavos, and that the Waif, who killed her, has taken her place in Westeros.
It makes so much more sense afterwards.
Bro the writing is so bad we’ve developed coping mechanisms
The cherry on top of Arya's Escapades in Braavos? When injured and looking for somewhere to hide and heal... she goes to the home of someone who she herself was tasked with assassinating as a Faceless Man... who in all likelihood is still on the chopping block since Arya didn't actually kill her. Congratulations, you have doubled your likelihood of being found by those super-assassins.
Arya knew she was safe because she entered a cutscene
THANK YOU for pointing out how wasted Edmure, Kevan and the Blackfish were, all of them were done dirty. Three amazing actors given nothing to do. The show-only fans often don’t even know who they are when I bring them up.
Edmure in particular being turned onto a laughing stock (to his last scene, when Sansa tells him to sit down...) while in ASOIAF he's not really incompetent. He misses with the arrows because he's crying so much he can't see straight, so the Blackfish politely asks him if he can take a turn, he doesn't just push him around.
And Edmure also defies Jaime by letting Brynden escape from Riverun...
Sure in the books Catelyn thinks of him as having a good heart (when she finds out that Edmure had taken in all the smallfolks in the castle when the riverlands were being sacked by Lannister's sellswords and Gregor Clegane's men) but also being soft in the head...
Then there's that song about him having a "floppy fish" and the time he dun goofed in battle, and...
He's still not that bad, the people love him, he has a bunch of friends loyal to him, and even if he's no military genius he's courageous (Jaime thinks that he will unjustly be accused of being a coward for surrenderng Riverrun, when in fact he was scared for his child, not for his own life) and an all around pretty cool guy.
Kevan Lannister is another one I really like, as he's one of the few high born officiers who isn't trying to get to the top himself... he was the first to realize that Tywin was a military genius, and decided that he would devote his entire life to get his brother to the top, and he didn't care if that meant living in his shadows.
(plus Tyron has several fond memories of Kevan trying to get Tywin to show his son more affection, even if sadly it backfired)
Tywin's other brothers tried to either rival him (Tygett) or decided to bow out of the game because Tywon was so gifted, what was the point in trying to compete with him (Gerion)... but Kevan decided to do his best to prop him up, and I don't hate that trait of character, it makes him stand out.
I mean they wasted Ser Barristan and the entirety of those cast for Dorne so seems like they were just staying true to form
By Jupiter, finally someone remembered Caesar was in this show and lets not forget how they treated poor Brutus after the red wedding either
"Great Jon!! Back into formation you drunken fool!"
I wonder if Ciarán Hinds called Kit to give him so tips for his own stabbing scene 🤔😅😂
I used to semi-regularly rewatch GoT, now I semi-regularly rewatch Pisstake to dull the pain
“Glidus is the true steel. GRRM is pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends. And D+D, those chuds, they're copper, bright and shiny, pretty to look at but not worth all that much at the end of the day.”
We really don’t give glidus enough credit for how devastating it is to wade through all these broken dreams
The "gamble" of Jaime's plan to have Edmure relinguish Riverrun to the king's army seems to at least make more sense in the books, as I'm sure you are well aware of.
1) The freys never conquered Riverrun in the first place. I'm not certain this was ever adressed in the show. Riverrun stood defiant from the beginning of the rebellion, and remained under siege after Edmure was captured by the Freys and the blackfish took command. The freys were simply PROMISED riverrun by Tommen.
2) The soldiers at Riverrun were loyal to their liege lord, which is Edmure. The blackfish was considered second in command. And while the blackfish commanded the respect of his soldiers, he did not, in fact, command them unconditionally.
3) In the books it really isn't a gamble. The king's army had already done everything in it's power to have the blackfish surrender, unsuccesfully. The freys had bluffed too many times by showing Edmure about to be hanged, repeatedly. Brynden knew the freys wouldn't do it (In the show it looks as if brynden just hates Edmure. But that isn't the case in the books. Not listening to Frey threats was simply the logical thing to do.), therefore offering to kill Edmure if Brynden didn't surrender wasn't an option anymore, and Jaime promptly relieved the freys of their command of Edmure. (Naturally, the freys were in no position to actually command edmure to do anything with regards to surrendering the keep. Edmure was a hostage of the crown, and they couldn't exactly offer him the same things Jaime did.)
Jaime himself couldn't convince Brynden on his word alone, because of course, the word of a kingslayer means nothing to a man like the blackfish, who is also still very bitter about Caitlyn's death and the assumed death of 3 of her children, along with the assumed imprisonment of Sansa and Arya (the tullies likely don't know both of them have escaped, though it's possibly they knew about Sansa.) all more or less directly a consequence of the Lannister's actions.
So Jaime did the only thing he COULD do, which was have Edmure attempt to win his men over to surrendering. This makes sense because, as Jaime put it, Edmure's value as a hostage is non-existent if they take the castle by force and install the new Frey lord. So if Brynden DOESN'T surrender, Edmure's life is basically forfeit, and his men along with many of the king's men will die unneccesarily. Edmure is well aware of this.
Jaime also offers Edmure a comfortable prison cell back at I believe casterly rock, along with a guarantee of his safety, his wife's safety, and the safety of his unborn child.
Now the one thing that IS a gamble, is Jaime telling Edmure they will win the siege through force. Jaime is lying here, as the siege would go on for quite some time, but he bluffs about the size of his army and what they could do. So he makes it seem as if Edmure relinguishing the seat of riverrun is the most beneficial for all parties, and the riverrun garrison in particular.
Edmure therefore has no reason (in his mind) to not accept Jamie's bargain. And Jaime has no reason to keep Edmure alive if Edmure's plea to the riverrun soldiers fails. In short, Jaime loses nothing by giving away Edmure. If Edmure's plea doesn't work, then he's dead anyway, along with the rest of the riverrun garrison.
So yes, Jaime's action here makes perfect sense, and so do Edmure's. The blackfish is NOT the lord of Riverrun, and is supposed to listen to the liege lord's commands. The blackfish also was in the vale for a bunch of years if I'm not mistaken, and was never well-loved in Riverrun by Hoster Tully and possibly his men. Edmure, in the meantime, commanded his troops for quite some time during Robb Stark's rebellion, and was a known and beloved lord for many years before that.
So it's perfeclty reasonable that the soldiers, who also fear for their completely forfeit lives but are driven by the blackfish, surrender their position and go home ALIVE. The blackfish has nothing to offer them but fancy words of honor and the idea that the lannisters would just kill them if they surrendered. But if Edmure commands it and guarantees their safety, that's a different story entirely.
Perhaps the show just didn't do a good job at portraying the precise situation here. (It's been years since I last saw season 6 and honestly I have no intention of ever watching it again.) Regardless, I did quite like this chapter in a Feast for Crows, and it DID in fact establish jaime as a valuable and intelligent commander. Nobody could offer Edmure his safety in Castlerly rock except for Jaime, as both a lannister and a kingsguard member, and jaime used that power to great effect here.
The annoying thing about Kevan Lannister is that he’s described as being basically the same as Tywin. Ferocious and calculating, understanding his role as the younger brother to Tywin and playing it perfectly. It’s said that if he was the older brother and Tywin the younger, nothing would have changed as they both knew their roles and did what had to be done. They were interchangeable.
So when Kevan effectively became head of House Lannister (with Jamie in the kingsguard, Cersei under house arrest, Tyrion defecting and Lancels indoctrination) he does… nothing? Imagine Tywin in this situation, Kevan should have acted the same way.
These pisstake episodes really help me proces why I have such a bad feeling about game of thrones.
I see clips from season 1-4 on youtube and be like "Yes, that show is so good" and then right after get the bad feeling again when I remember what happend in the later seasons.
“Intellect of a bag of frozen peas” has the same energy as “Moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.”
I'm so glad you included Ciaran Hinds twice in the "deader than" montage.

Dany kinda forgetting about the Iron fleet was planned by Cersei (Tinfoil)
This episode confirmed that the origin of the amnesia water was the canals in Braavos. When Arya fell into the canal with massive open wounds, Amnesia water got into her bloodstream. While the immediate effect of this is Arya forgetting to die and being able to escape to safety, the Amnesia water also stayed in Arya's system. Because of this, she carried it back to Westeros when she returned and after she arrived it went from her body to Westeros's water supply, causing the amnesia outbreak that was a major plot point in seasons 7-8. It's basically canon at this point that Daenarys kinda forgot about the Iron fleet because of the amnesia water, which we now know was brought to Westeros by Arya Stark, so she indirectly caused Dany to forget about the Iron fleet.
This all ties back into the grand faceless man amnesia conspiracy theory. After hearing about the incoming invasion from Daenarys Targaryen, Cersei hired the Faceless men to kill her. However, they were unable to reach her due to the distances involved, so instead they began a long-term plot to kill her. This explains the Waif's actions; she stabbed Arya to make sure the Amnesia water would enter her bloodstream, but then pushing her into the river of Amnesia water had two other important effects on her: She would forget to die, and therefore survive to return to Westeros, and would also forget the dehumanisation the cult put her through, remember her true identity and want to leave. Back to Westeros.
From here, the plan is simple. The Amnesia water will go from Arya into the water supply of Westeros, where it will eventually end up being drunk by Dany and her allies. This causes all of the stupid decisions they make in seasons 7-8, and is part of the Faceless mens' plans to destabilise her alliance. It also nearly leads to Daenarys's death and the deaths of one of her dragons, when she kinda forgets about the iron fleet and almost gets shot down. However, she's saved by the staff made from plot armour Gendry made for Arya earlier in the season, which Daenarys borrowed for such an important battle and had in her back pocket the entire time.
Edit: Stuff about the staff. Important part of the theory I forgot.
But Gleedoos, Arya was trained to beg on the street and fight with a stick in the dark by magic face-shifting corpsewashers! Closing multiple infected stab wounds by the sheer strength of her -plot armor- willpower is just part of assassin school curriculum
Oh my, you actually did it
I just rewatched every single Pisstake yesterday and the day before so this is perfect timing Glimbo
Literally all time comedy classics haha
The Glimbo is never late. Nor is he ever early. He arrives precisely when everyone kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet.
Cant wait for the final 2 episodes of that season. Oh boy.
Tears in my eyes ..... Thank you for saving me from starvation Lord Glimbus .. it has been a long 6 months
Wait, what?
It’s been so long since the last Glidus video that Gilly’s baby has aged at least two weeks
"wow stefan what a fantastic map"
The wasting of Kevan Lannister pissed me off because of how awesome he is when he steps up as Regent in the books.
Everyone underestimated him because he was always in Tywin’s shadow as the dutiful, subservient younger brother, but when it comes time for him to shine, he shows that he was every bit as intelligent and calculating as his older brother, hence why Varys assassinates him at the end of Dance because he was doing TOO GOOD OF A JOB getting the realm back in-order after Cersei bungled everything following Tywin’s death.
Damn, I didn't know that. Sounds like they really did him dirty. I guess a gentle lion was less appealing to DnD than a Jello-green explosion.
Wait a minute can you go into more detail because that plot point sounds crazy.
Remember when the small council was important? Somehow both Cersei and Danny maintain control without any bureaucracy.
That sort of stuff got thrown out together with consistent travel times, places being treated like people actually live there and aren't just setpieces, colorful costume design, people caring about rightful claims and inheritance, and anything else D&D probably consider unnecessary nerd shit
@@Inkspeckle Absolutely. The show was consciously dumbed down to shake the morons.
Even the emperor from star wars couldn't pull that off
At this rate, TWoW will be out before we get the Pisstake for Series 5.
I've watched 0.5 seconds and this video is already a classic!
In fairness to the stupid Jaime-Riverrun thing: the Blackfish isn't their commander. They are Tully loyalists, which means they sworn to the King in the North (even in an interregnum), which means the King on the Iron Throne is essentially a foreign monarch to them. So the royal decree giving Riverrun to the Freys is worth no more to them than toilet paper. That makes Lord Edmure the rightful lord of Riverrun in their eyes, they follow the Blackfish because he's Lord Edmure's castellan. Also Edmure's their most valuable hostage because the Lanisters and Freys have shit hostages. Edmure's only value, now that Riverrun has been stripped from him, is that he's a cousin of Sansa... That she's never met and doesn't know. He has no claims (that aren't superseded by royal decree) and he has no wealth, no army, no nothing. He's a landless, disheveled aristocrat with a famous name. Not worthless, not invaluable.
It was still a stupid gambit and a worthless story point that could have been done so much better. Imagine if Edmure hadn't surrendered the castle but, as the Freys whined about it, Jaime shrugged his shoulders because the ploy with Edmure was just to distracted the garrison while Bronn and a small strike force attacked through the secret escape gate (how does he know about it? great question full of interesting possibilities). This would be something since the whole point of Edmure's cooperation was that Jaime threatened to kill his son (betrayal of FAMILY, duty, honor) only to find out that a) Jaime had a back up plan and b) Jaime lied about Edmure's son (maybe he died in childbirth or maybe he never existed and Jaime just made him up).
Might not be perfect, but it'd be better. Take notes writers, this whole shitshow is what your First Draft looks like. If you think you're done after the First Draft: you're wrong.
So Jaime by shear luck would know about the secret passage? It's a bit iffy. It's supposed to be a desperate situation and the only way that Jaime can take the castle is by using the contempt that Edmure has for him to turn it around and threaten/scare him into having him surrender to his will. Also why wouldn't Edmure know about the existance of his child? I would presume even as a prisoner that his wife would pay him a couple of visits.
Writing-wise It's a good idea but of course it could have been better written as it works out a little too much. As if someone could say Abrakadabra and everything works fine, they lay down their swords smoothly. Maybe they could have had a mini civil war in the castle with Black Fish managing to mount a group of enough men to side with him. Edmure kills Black Fish(would be a sort of revenge of him always treating him like garbage). Or it could be mercy cause he wouldn't want to fall into the clutches of the Freys.
When the episode originally aired someone joked to me that the Faceless Man Arya meets before leaving was just some random member with no clue what is going on wearing the Lorathi face, saying whatever he thinks Arya is hoping to hear in the hopes she goes away without killing him, and is just psyched that the problem student decided to not kill him. Honestly pretty compelling explanation.
"Imagine if Brienne had been on this hill instead of Tyrion." Wow. Excuse me while I go write this fanfic. Seriously, that would have been brilliant.
I want read that fanfiction.
Link pls
Aw, I thought you were gonna put this video off with a 3 hour discussion about the Omni-Walder theory.
If all Walders are the patriarch Walder, is Hodor him too?
All Hail the Omni-Walder
Omg if this is true then I’m crushed been waiting on Omni-Walder conclusion
You're looking at this all backwards. The question isn't why she survived these obviously mortal wounds, but why they wrote them into her story in the first place. The show could easily have had her become weakened in some way that wasn't so over-the-top and nonsensical. Instead the writers, in their infinite and infamous wisdom, decided to turn it up to 11 and take things too far. Because to them, violence equals dramatic writing, not the story around the violence which is how it initially began following GRRM's books.
Look who's back, with no one no less.
At this point, I have spent way more time rewatching your Pisstakes, then rewatching seasons 6-8. The Pisstakes are just way more worth my time then they are
Remember when Khal Drogo got a little cut and it fucking killed him? Remember how he didn't fall into shit water right after?
D and D kind of forgot...
The Blackfish not returning was prime D&D failure. Needed more named characters to kill in season 8, but couldn’t be bothered. And Hodor as a wight would have stung!
You're that friend who remembers minute details that embarrassed someone. Don't ever change.
Seth: Hey Greg, why don't you go piss your pants?
Greg the Soccer Player: That was like 8 years ago, asshole!
Seth: People don't forget!
My most favorite scene from Superbad that I quote regularly
Never forget
Arya survived the attack because the Waif was attacking no one, can't believe you missed this it was the entire point of the episode
Glidus, you really gotta finish this GOT Pisstake series and fast. You godda make room on the schedule for that Rings of power pisstake series
I’m so glad someone shows that Season 6 is nothing compared to the first 4. So tired of people saying it’s the best season. Like you said, everyone’s recollection of this season is big battle and big green explosion. Most of it really makes no sense
The funniest part to me is S6E9 they had the chance to even just introduce Quentyn Martell as a character to be the guy to release the dragons. They could've even included soy Marvel dialogue when he fails to impress Dany, then have damn an awesome reveal with guy holding torch looking into eyes of dragon then getting roasted.
Just absurd that they missed something in the book that would've actually worked well in this style.
I didn't even know season 6 was held in high regard.
I already thought s5 was dogshit and it was the season that made me quit the first time.
The thing I hate about the Beric / Thoros / Sandor scene is that this was THE chance to get Lady Stoneheart into the story. Instead they have Sandor piss into the river, literally pissing on the idea to add Lady Stoneheart into the story.
Season 8 happened because the three characters who tie all the side characters together (Mel, fAegon, and Lady Stoneheart,) were all diminished in significance or completely cut. Bada-bing, now half the characters in the story have nowhere to go.
I see your ploy. You're clearly pulling a Gormley and you're finishing up the S6 pisstakes the same time as the final HoTD blisstake
Spoiler warning for house of the dragon/fire and blood
Imagine if House of the Dragon continued this kind of plot armor and Rhaenyra just survives being eaten by Sunfyre and jumps out only for Aegon II to just kind of forget to kill his half sister, all in service of extending the Dance of the Dragons because HBO likes money and despises their patrons.
Yeah I can’t picture myself ever getting Max, the only things that HBO has that I’d want to see are stuff I already have on DVD 😂
Lukas, stop giving them ideas!!
You and I both know this is joke, but I'm sure there's some outsourced HBO writer that will see you comment and be like: "Yes! Yes! That's exactly what I need to increase the Show's 'shock' value. You know? Like GOT did".
Still waiting for episodes 9 and 10
Still waiting...
@@octozozzle6140same
Love how Glidus takes a year off season six right before the only two good episodes of the season
is ep 9 really good tho? 10 I get but 9?
@@TheHellyeahmen Nine wasn't the greatest but it did have the Battle of the Bastards which if nothing else looked really cool. Even if it is stupid once you start to think about it.
@@pirakatherappa413 by that logic you can call other episodes good too
every episode in season six has good moments
Everytime glidus describes the mountain my heart lights up with joy
I've long stopped being a fan of the show and have forgotten most of it, but still a big fan of Glidus's piss takes on stuff I have no memory of
I love how in the stabby-stab death montage, Glimbus included Mance Rayder burining ALIVE and Eddison Tollet getting his beautiful face pierced by an aroow
The arrow killed him.
Are you still working on "Battle of the bastards" pisstake?
"He does own an air fryer after all" ♥ You're freaking hilarious.
The extras holding their guts from falling the rest of the way out in the Battle of the Bastards are less dead than Arya.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Arya to have seen through the waif's disguise, you know the true seeing thing that Syrio tried to teach her. You could still have her run, get a couple injuries then go to Lady Crane. Nothing else would change but it wouldn't be completely absurd that Arya survives and would give more payoff for her training arc and link back to her first teacher as Arya showing her returning to Arya from No-one.
🗣 "Cut his throat!"
I don't know why that part cracks me up everytime! 😂
Glidus acknowledging that he was wrong to pass on Osha gives me life.
Well done, Sir.
Ciaran Hinds dying twice on your list somehow still makes more sense than Arya not dying
19:25: The fact that Glimbus has watched Hellsing Ultimate Abridged (or at least seen the memes lol) makes me super happy 😄😄
i did watch that a billion years ago but i think the joke predates it. i wasn't thinking about it when i wrote that lol
@@Glidus Haha really? Well it still makes me happy regardless ☺☺
The return of the king
Also imagine the conversation about ceding between the Blackfish and Littlefinger? Where Littlefinger has convinced Jaime, who struggles with his vow to Catelyn re: not killing Tully's, that he can get the castle for Tommen?
Like holy crap.
And with that, my week got better
WOW Stefan, what a fantastic map!
I recently re-watched all the other piss takes, so guess I have great timing. Also thank you Glidus for your hard work. My Grandad just passes today, so your video has brought a smile to my face.
Cersei: “we’ve been here for some time.”
waking up to the Word made Flesh‼️
My dream is to rock up to some random gig and Glidus band is part of the lineup.
Glidus I love your mind. If Petyr and the Vale had freed Riverrun, we could have had a scene with Petyr and the Blackfish and Edmure!
Like, Brynden was the one who listened to all the Tully kids and Petyr when they were young, the one to carry a drunken Petyr to bed after he drowned his sorrow over Catelyn's rejection of him. Brynden probably listened to his drunken sobbing over unrequited love. He has seen Petyr at his most vulnerable.
There is so much potential in a meeting between those two, and Edmure and Petyr, particularly after all we know Petyr has done to House Tully, directly or indirectly.
Return of the king
22:47 BTW can it be acknowledged that Brienne deciding to almost murder the guy who said he would keep Arya safe, then just forgetting about Arya is a really intriguing and layered decision
Your videos are easily my favorite ASOIAF/GOT content on all of CZcams. Please never stop being hilarious.
babe wake up glidus pisstake is back
Rejoice! A new pisstake! Maybe we’ll finish the season before the new year!
HE’S ALIVE!!!! I was starting to wonder if we’d ever get this. Thank you!
"The video is over now. You can leave"
Imagine thinking I'm not going to rewatch this immediately.
I would've been so happy if the show went with the psychological angle where the Waif isn't real but a concoction of Arya's traumatized mind.
Holy shit he’s alive
