In this solo YouTube commentary, the host reflects on Peter Dinklage's appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, noting that despite promoting a new film, interviewers continually steer the conversation toward Game of Thrones. The host outlines the series' imminent conclusion—a six‑episode final season framed as mini‑movies—and highlights the bittersweet tone of its ending, drawing parallels to George R.R. Martin’s reflections and J.R.R. Tolkien’s legacy. The bulk of the video speculates on potential HBO prequel series, emphasizing that any new show will focus on well‑known Westerosi houses (Targaryens, Lannisters, Arryns, etc.) while likely excluding the Baratheon storyline already covered in flashbacks. The host lists candidate storylines—Blackfyre Rebellion, Aegon's Conquest, and the Targaryen civil war (Dance of Dragons)—and discusses practical production concerns such as CGI demands for dragons. He dismisses Dunk & Egg and Robert’s Rebellion as unlikely due to ongoing authorial work. Timing predictions suggest a prequel debut in early 2019, before the Emmy nomination deadline in April, and a brief mention of possible Westworld scheduling in early 2018. The video concludes with a typical call to action.

Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And guys, if my Shakespeare serves me right, parting is such sweet sorrow. So Mr. Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones is promoting a new film at Sundance, the Sundance Film Festival. I have no idea what this movie is about, or, you know, what, you know, what he's doing on it. But, uh, we do know Game of Thrones is wrapping up. This is the final season, only 6 episodes. Uh, there are only, uh, those 6 remaining, but each one will be like a mini movie. And, uh, unfortunately for Mr. Peter Dinklage, although he's at Sundance and he's trying to do what actors do when they're in a new film, which is promote that new film, people keep asking him about Game of Thrones. They just won't let him, uh, get much in without having some questions about Game of Thrones. So he talks about, you know, Game of Thrones, uh, much like, uh, George R.R. Martin had done in earlier interviews. He used the term the bittersweetness of saying goodbye to Game of Thrones and Of course, we got to hear George R.R. Martin talk about the bittersweet ending, similar to what we get in his, the person who influenced him the most, J.R.R. Tolkien, with the end of The Hobbit series. And basically all these magical creatures going away and there being now this time of man. So Game of Thrones is on its way out, but not without giving us something, leaving us with something that hopefully will last another 10 years. And they have many great candidates. So although Mr. Peter Dinklage didn't really get a chance to really promote his movie probably like he wanted because they keep bothering him about Game of Thrones, obviously. You know, we did get to learn that it won't come out to 2019, looks like, and they try to get in before the end of April, which is, you know, the deadline for, you know, the Emmy nominations, which Game of Thrones likes to, you know, usually take home several dozen. And so, you know, we're pretty much confirmed that, you know, if we go by past history and that, that it probably will be maybe early 2019, April perhaps. But, um, so some of the information we got about the candidates to the spin-off series we're gonna get, or not spin-off but rather prequel series, um, is that they will— we will be aware of the family. So these will be prominent families, they will be well-known families. So when we think of well-known families, we can think of everybody from The Targaryens to the Lannisters to the Arryns to the Baratheons. But we did also receive some information that the story of the Baratheons, pretty much Robert Baratheon and a lot of those events around that period won't be addressed because they were already pretty much been addressed in the Game of Thrones show with a lot of flashbacks to events during Robert's Rebellion. It's like we got to see Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna all during Robert's, leading up to Robert's Rebellion, rather. So some candidates we have are like the Blackfyre Rebellion. We have perhaps Aegon's Conquest, maybe A Dance with Dragons, which is the Targaryen civil war. I think that probably will be interesting, the Targaryen civil war. The problem though is the Targaryen civil war looks like it will require a lot of CGI and dragons, and we won't get Dunk and Egg, the Dunk and Egg series, because Dunk and Egg is still being written by George R.R. Martin, as I understand it. Won't get Robert's Rebellion, could possibly get Aegon's Conquest. I think Aegon's Conquest would be a great idea because much like how Daenerys is now moving around Westeros with 3 dragons, or what used to be 3 dragons, now 2 dragons, Aegon conquered Westeros with 3 dragons and his sister wives. So that, you know, I think that would be plausible. I mean, I think it would be doable seeing that we've already seen Daenerys doing it, kind of did her version of Field of fire, to kind of recreate those scenes and the pyrotechnics, I don't think would be that, you know, far of a stretch. So I think that would all be interesting to see. But that's what we're looking at, guys. We're definitely going to get this prequel series. Definitely, you know, it's going to be well-known families we know, so it won't be taking place in, say, like over in Essos or someplace where we don't know the people. And so we'll be looking forward to that. Game of Thrones, perhaps the greatest TV show that ever has been, ever will be, perhaps, maybe. But in the meantime, to get through HBO and get through 2018, you know, some people online believe that Westworld will appear in early 2018 of this year. So perhaps, if we're lucky, before April's over, I hope. Although I've heard that it could be later, but if they wanna hit the Emmys, that's what they're gonna have to do. But guys, anyway, uh, that's all I wanted to say about that. As you like content like this, don't forget to like, subscribe, and until next time, take care.
