FanMade Game of Thrones Documentary Series Honors The Dead

As we enter the Long Night between seasons, there’s only so muc one fan can do to fill the void. There’s rewatching the season that just passed, for instance. There’s doing a full rewatch of all sixty episdes–that will hold some for a while. There’s reading (or re-reading) the books.

But one fan has gone above and beyond. Under the name of Daemon Blackfyre, they’ve started a YouTube channel with videos dedicated to the fallen. Most run 30 minute, but some are over an hour-long. (Yes, you read that right–some of these are longer than a typical Game of Thrones episode.)

And as we know, despite the show endlessly adding new characters to the cast, the fallen at this point practically outnumber the living. It’s a huge project, one that they only started about two weeks ago. So far the channel has made just about 30 videos covering everyone from Ned Stark in the first season to Grand Maester Pycelle, who died in the finale of Season 6.

Other characters they’ve covered so far include:

Embedding is disabled due to the sheer amount of footage from the episodes, so you’ll have to  head over to YouTube to watch them properly. But for those looking to indulge in their geekery to the highest extent, there are some dedicated in depth pieces. And with the Catelyn Stark video only being uploaded yesterday, this is clearly a work in progress. The project also is clearly planning to focus on everyone who died in the series, even characters whose importance was somewhat lessen in the TV show (Maester Luwin, for instance, has his own episode.) They also focus on characters who aren’t so large in the books, but got more screen time on TV (like Craster.) This could be close to 100 videos by the time the project is done.
