00:00Oh, come on.
00:24The stealing of the sword is, in some ways,
00:27an attempt to see in his delirious, fevered state
00:30whether he can do anything with his sword with his left hand,
00:34and in other ways, especially once he realizes,
00:38which has to be in the first few seconds of holding it,
00:40that he can't do anything.
00:42He's such a prideful human.
00:44He just doesn't want to exist as a lesser version of Jaime Lannister.
00:48Fighting these guys, it would have been like fighting a group of school kids to him,
00:53and now they can beat him down.
00:55He becomes like a child to them.
00:57They're not so unthreatened by him
00:59that they don't even bother to really hurt him,
01:02because there's no point.
01:04Do that again, and I'll take your other hand.
01:08Fighting is his life.
01:10He's the very best in the world at what he does,
01:13and now the skill that made him who he was is gone.
01:17Whether they were a good person, a bad person,
01:19or something in between, you're seeing somebody who is a human being
01:23being denigrated, just toyed with in a way that's gonna make anybody,
01:27including Brienne, feel pity for that person.
01:29You need to live.
01:31One taste of the real world, where people have important things taken from them,
01:39and you whine and cry and quit.
01:42You sound like a bloody woman.
01:44It really takes Brienne to remind him that there's a reason to keep going,
01:49and I think a lot of it is because, you know, he sees in her example,
01:51like, she's going through a pretty tough time herself.
01:55He's almost shamed into regaining his courage
01:58by the example that Brienne is setting.
02:01I shall have your hands!
02:04The killing of Mormont definitely could not have come at a worse time.
02:24They know that the Night's Watch is in decline.
02:26I don't think they realize how far they've fallen, how fast.
02:28Their numbers are not nearly enough.
02:31They've lost lots and lots of people in the north.
02:33And the one thing holding them together, the glue that inspired them,
02:38and the wisdom that guided them was Commander Mormont.
02:42It's not just that Mormont died.
02:44It's that he was murdered, stabbed in the back by his own men.
02:47You know, and it's been a long time since there's been this kind of descent
02:51in the Night's Watch, and especially with someone as beloved
02:55and respected as Lord Commander Mormont,
02:57and they found a father figure in Mormont
03:00that most of them had never really had before.
03:02We shall never see his like again.
03:05And now his watch has ended.
03:07And now his watch has ended.
03:09And now his watch has ended.
03:11Then he's got old guns.
03:16It's Amen.
03:17People'm out.
03:19And now his write reparations,
03:21whichANS have famously beenfield.
03:22And now his希望 has never seen him drop their heads.
03:27Let's see.
03:28We've never really gotten a sense of her capacity for cruelty.
03:49She's surrounded by people who are terrible people, but haven't done anything to her personally.
03:54And it's interesting to me that as the sphere of her empathy widens, the sphere of her cruelty widens as well.
04:03I think she becomes harder to dismiss, you know, for a long time people have been saying, even if she was alive, you know, really the only threat she poses is her name.
04:13She's a Targaryen, great, but she's a little girl at the edge of the world, so she's starting to knock on people's doors a little bit.
04:20All at once, she becomes a major force to be reckoned with.
04:24She spent a lot of time futilely kind of banging her fists on the doors and declaring that she was owed the Iron Throne by right.
04:33But now she's stepped into her own as a conqueror.
04:37Dany is becoming more and more viable as a threat, both, you know, in attaining an army and because she's the mother of these three dragons who are only going to get more and more fearsome.
04:50Dany is becoming more and more effective in the backyard of this land.
04:53Dany is becoming more than an emotional aspect of the earth by right.
05:02Dany is becoming more and more faithful than an eviction.
05:04I don't know if I think it's possible that I've ever fought.
05:07Dany is be more than a proof of change.
05:10Dany is becoming more of a likely weight in my life.
05:13If I voters are more than a critics of their JnOTY, right, L万ley the company, and its loyalist,
