Your lordship lost a son at the Red Wedding. I lost four upon the Blackwater. And why? Because the Lannisters stole the throne. Go to King’s Landing and look on Tommen with your own eyes, if you doubt me. A blind man could see it. What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!
I've been meaning to post these since part 1 came out, but first I figured that you would beat me to it, then I kept forgetting when I wasn't on mobile. Glad to see them up!
Why must I always be the isle of crazy alone in an ocean of sensibility? The should to everybody else’s shouldn’t? The I-will to their better-nots?
So far I definitely like the political alliances thing. I think that's a fairly good catch, who's lined up with who and it seems consistent enough that I'd say it's probably correct.
I definitely agree that Darkstar's been framed. There's just no reason not to show him actually attack Myrcella and instead have Arianne black out for the whole event if he just did it.
I'm less convinced about the Rhoynish nostalgia, but I can still see the evidence for it. Logically speaking Doran probably did pass through Chroyane on his way to Norvos, and Oberyn's got the opportunity as well during his time in Essos as well as does tell tales about Rhoynish heroes. I can say the influence, I just don't know if they'd actually truly care so much.
Dorne dying doesn't seem too much of a stretch either. Towns are running out of water, and some places have had to be abandoned because of that, and there's other places that are just straight up shit holes. And they have to lie about how strong they are, such so that even Quentyn thinks Dorne truly actually has 50,000 spears when really they've got like 20,000.
My guess is the next video, given that he mentions that it will be about Kingsguards and Qyburn, is that Darkstar was framed so that Arys' replacement would go after him, and therefore Darkstar can take him out. Or Hotah or Obara can if Darkstar can't, as both are sent with Balon and we know that Hotah's already thinking about how to kill Swann as he says so in his POV, and he obeys all orders as that's his creed, and Obara wants war so likewise she has no problems killing Swann. With Arys and Swann dead, Jaime gone, Loras too injured, and Boros and Meryn incompetents, that leaves only Robert Strong for the trials, and from PJ's other videos he thinks the Dornish are counting on Robert to make an appearance to condemn the King and his court as liars as they told the world Gregor had died, yet this man can only possibly be Gregor.

I will say that PJ sold me on the idea that Qyburn's ties to Dorne are rather noticeable, or at the very least Qyburn and Oberyn could have a lot to talk about with each other if they met in a bar with their mutual friend Marwyn.

Yup yup Qyburn is working for the Martells via Marwyn. Why do you think Marwyn lives in the raven tower? To better control communication.
Darkstar will be the next Vulture King.
Craster has 19 daughters and there are 19 castles on the Wall, coincidence I think not!

Yeah his previous Dornish Master Plan made some interesting connections, but I wasn't completely convinced that Qyburn was working for the Dornish. This version though makes it much clearer. They really do have a lot in common, and I really liked that Qyburn knew exactly what was killing Gregor and how, while Pycelle, the Grandmaester for the last 40 years, can't figure it out.

Finally got around to the last video. Funny thing is I think the first observations were the strongest. I just can't wrap my mind around the thought that the Martells would actually anticipate a rotten head as opposed to a skull. In all of the time that passed and considering the heat of Dorne, even if they had sent a rotting head would there really be enough flesh left to identify it?

This one really set off my Greek Tragedy bells. But then again, I've been having them go off all day thanks to a discussion about that guy punching the SC shooter in prison and then getting bail for that act.
Specifically that of Aeschylus' Tragedy trilogy of: The Oresteia (Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides). Which is all about the pointless cycles that vengeance goes in, and how Systemic Justice can bring an end to all of that blood and slaughter.
I really like the point that Oberyn claimed he wanted a blonde whore, and then instead bedded a whore who was the complete opposite, and who could possibly have told him tons of useful information. Oberyn used his own reputation to fool his enemies. While they think he's just out fucking whores as per usual, he's actually out collecting information.
Without Doran to be his grass, Oberyn made his own grass.
