Bran was "still in that state" because you know how when your computer is downloading its update you aren't supposed to turn it off? Well I guess Bran was downloading his "update" and it needed to finish. Best analogy I could think of...
Now only seeing this coment...I had a similar thought. Just posted before this..lol
The weirwood network lol
or better yet when you're installing an update and you really don't know if it's hung up or doing something
Bran needs a progress bar
The real question is, did he read the terms and conditions, or did he just scroll to the bottom and click "accept"?
Benjen Stark saves Brandon Stark.... blood of my blood.... Sams goes home to his family.... blood of my blood... Tyrells come for their daughter and son.... blood of my blood... Tommen conflicts with his father... blood of my blood... Lord Edmure goes to his uncle the Black Fish... blood of my blood... Dany gets his kid and the dothraki family together... blood of my blood.
Meera is definitely one of the unsung heroes of the show
Meera is one of my favorites from the books and while I won't say the show sucks for her portrayal (I think the actress is great) but I do wish the show would use her more.
@@Goomyx1492
Agreed but the actress nailed her part
@@ChefNourhan She definitely did
meera is so underrated shes one of my favs as well.
Meera is brilliant. We also share a name, which is amazing and a first for me. It’s so great to have such an amazing character to share a name with.
Dragons never really stop growing. Their growth is determined by their environment. For example, Rhaegal and Visieron will be smaller then Drogon because they’ve been under the pits while Drogon has roamed free. Drogon will continue to get bigger as Balerion the Black Dread, the dragon Aegon rode during his conquest of the seven kingdoms, was said to be so large his wingspans shadow covered the towns he passed. His teeth were as long as swords and he could swallow Aurochs whole, potentially even mammoths.
GRRM is incredible at those details .
LOREEEEEE
beat me to it
Essentially good nutritious diet + space to play + time = big dragon
I swear there was a bigger dragon than Balerion the Black Dread? I might be imagining things though 🤣
"The Dothraki will never cross the Narrow Sea...."
Dany: "Hold my Beer..."
Dothraki*
@Dr.feelalright lol! Phone autocorrect! 😂😂👌
Not like Iraqi well abit like Iraqi in pronouncing minus Saddam lol
😂😂😂😂

"You're Samwell Tarly? Your father is Randyll Tarly. He defeated my brother at the _Battle of Ashford._ Only battle Robert ever lost. I told him he shouldn't go so far west so soon, but he never listened. Fine soldier, your father. You don't look like a soldier. But I'm told you killed a white walker..." - *Stannis to Sam (S05E05 - Kill the Boy)*
Keep reading, Samwell Tarly.
You know Stannis was impressed as hell that he killed a white walker, but didn't want to show it.
Just a gentle reminder that Stannis was the only _high-lord_ who actually believed the White Walkers exist even though he never saw them himself (only in flames vision and words from Night's Watch IIRC). No one but Stannis. Our beloved Ned Stark wasn't even give a darn sh!te, he just casually chopped off that guy head without second thought in that pilot episode.
Lasmar, R. That’s because Stannis is/was the Mannis.
Blood of my blood is a Dothraki phrase we've heard since season 1. Most notably after Danny survived the fire, Jorah knelt and said, "Blood of my Blood." It's a unifying phrase.
Each Khal chose 3 bloodriders who were sworn to him as "blood of my blood " and would follow him in life and death. Dany chose the entire Dothraki horde to be her bloodriders.
Hmm, does that mean the entire Dothraki race will be required by custom to kill themselves when Danny dies? If so, that's a pretty ruthless move on her part.
@@antonbrakhage490 I suppose they have a loophole since Dany is/was technically not a khal
@@antonbrakhage490 Also being a Bloodrider usually comes with privileges... which they would all want...
So in other words, if everyone is a king...no one is..
and if everyone is a bloodrider...no one is...
Can't look at your army and tell them they are all generals and trusted advisors now...they would expect the pay and authority of that position.
So the whole scene is just.... stupid...D&D are not the smartest writes, they don't think about social implications or anything, just about.
"That would be soo cool. and look so epic!" (Summery of the writing of season 8)
Basically dang is not a khal but rather their prophesied messiah figure…. The stallion who shall unite all the khalasar and mount the world. It is insinuated that under the stallion, all the members of a khalasar is elevated beyond their normal station (under a typical khal). The Dothraki believe they have no greater destiny other than full filling the stallions mission and so it is a ride or die holy vow/war/mission for them. Daenerys making them blood rider (a position which requires them to be at her side in life and death: and to also avenge her) is her way of making them commit themselves to her and the great cause the stallion is meant to represent.
That’s why season 8 made no sense cause they they obligated to avenge Danny (unfortunately by killing Jon) and then take their own life… or the afterlife is denied to them. They weren’t meant to sail back to Essos… the very least that is required of them is to avenge her or die trying. The show runners don’t really care about the world building grrm created
I like to think Drogon was actually thinking “I don’t know what we’re doing but I’m freaking ready!!!!”
Thought the same thing he was like whatever this is yes all that yes 👌🤣 LETS GO
"LET'S GO!!!"
Yes! 😂
Brick from anchorman.... "I don't know what we're yelling about!"
"Mommy, can I eat all these horses?"
Did you notice that woman Nan that was like: "Whylis?! What's the matter?"
That same woman is actually Old Nan-the one that told Bran the story about the white walkers back in season 1.
Todor Mitrev rereading the books again a second time and just finished a Bran chapter were we find out a bit about her.
@@aegon1targaryen208 NICE! Bran chapters are one of my favs.
Todor Mitrev yes same here!!
Was Old Nan Willis's mum?? Was she the lady Ramsey skinned alive??
Shes awesome pretty much everything she said comes true except for the ice spiders
Another random fun fact: Lord Randall Tarly is the only commander that defeated Robert Baratheon during Roberts Rebellion which takes place before the events of the series. It was at the Battle of Ashford, I’m sorry about the spelling.
And then this incompetent fool Mace Tyrell took all the credit for it right?
Spelling was generally good, only should be Randyll rather than Randall!
Marcus Kurze lol yes he did, although few people do know and agree it was Lord Tarly who was the brains of the operation.
DaFaRsHeR lol thnx I guess
Technically, he only won because he attacked before Robert Baratheon could establish and organize his army. Robert's army dispersed after and he took shelter and hid in a near bye village. So, it was a victory, but not a pitched battle.
If you really want your brain to hurt, if Bran could yell "father" and Ned seemed to hear him we then had him warg into Hodor who was linked with himself in the past. What if Willis / Hodor knew his fate all that time? What if he had held the door and experienced his own death as a boy and knew that this was what he was supposed to do? Could you participate in a course of action that you knew would lead to your death? That just ups his level of bravery.
Yeah, i mean the love he had for Bran was immense, he's cared for that child since he's been a babe pretty much. I think Bran had stopped warging into Hodor by the time Meera was screaming "Hold the door!" so that was probably Hodor doing it of his own volition.
The nightmare version of this is that Hodor knew what would happen and was *unable* to change anything.
I read a story once in which a character had full, perfect foreknowledge of her entire life, good and bad - with zero possibility of changing any of it. She was fairly stoic about it all (but then that personality/response was also baked in!) but it was one of the creepiest fates I've ever encountered. And I lean determinist, philosophically; I nonetheless very much appreciate that we at least have the illusion of free will!
Joffrey was high and mighty as the king, until Tywin sent him to bed without his supper 😂😂😂
Bri Williams With some essence of Night Shade lmao
Bri LmaoOOo 🤣👌
ah the good old days bri lol
@@ronh3424 lOl
And he wasn’t even tired ...
I think the most powerful thing about the Hodor storyline is the fact that we know so little about him, that his entire life was about getting to this singular point of laying down his life for basically all of humanity.
Gilly is so strong and amazing in this episode, and she gives Sam strength. I love her so much!
They don't need Joffrey for ten minutes, they need Tywin to deal with the high sparrow
Tywin would have destroyed him
"In the Dothraki culture, to mount something is to dominate it, to control it and exert your power it. That's why to not ride a horse is shameful--if you can't ride, you're nothing. Even their women ride. So imagine a Dothraki mindset when Dany flies in on Drogon: "She rides THAT?? OH SNAP!" If being fireproof wasn't enough--that sealed the deal." @Naomi Armitage
Found this comment on another video that brought the whole plot together really neatly... :)
I feel terrible for Tommen, he gets manipulated by everyone. And I love how can Maergery can adapt to survive every situation. She's similiar to Littlefinger, but unlike him, she's still a good person. Her seek for power is never at the expense of hurting others.
Ir would be so much worse with book tommen. He's only 10
She's not a good person, she's a ambitious and selfish who grew up thinking she's deserve everythink because his name and beauty. Of course in GOT world she's not the worst of his kind...
I think Bran short circuited Hodor's brain. He made a connection between young Hodor and present-day Hodor so he viscerally experienced his own death as a 12-year-old (or however old he was supposed to be) and it broke his psyche.
As for Sansa -- I would have done the exact same thing she did. I wouldn't have wanted to credit Littlefinger with anything, so I would have lied about where I got the information, saying I just overheard it myself rather than saying the info came from the weasel who sold me to a family of psychos.
Short circuited 👌😂😂😂😂😂
Years later… but upon rewatching I noticed Jojen also had a seizure when in Crasters keep where he foresaw his death, just like Hodor in a way Jojen wasn’t the same after that either
As pissed off as I was with the Sparrow and Tommen's alliance when I first saw it, after thinking about it I really don't blame Tommen about this alliance, if you remember season 5 when Tommen went to get Loras he didn't want any violence and with Tywin's advice "The wisest Kings continue to listen to his advisors." Seeing what the Small Coucil has, there's really nobody Tommen can truly respect their advice as to what kind of King he wants to be, The Sparrow's faith and goals make a lot of sense with what Tommen wants because it's about helping the people
Well said. He at least knew enough to realize that his original idea of plowing into the Sept of Baelor and slaughtering the High Sparrow and his followers would have started a bloody civil war in the city that would have seen thousands and thousands of people dying. Sadly, this was also combined with his naivete, which allowed him to listen to the High Sparrow and Margaery.
Tommen is a product of his mother's education just like Joffrey was. Tommen was the second son, he was taught to follow. Cersei also removed anyone from the small council who could advice him properly.
Exactly he made the only move he had left to make.
He made a move he learnt from his mother correct Lilani
🔥 The problem with emerging naked from a flaming temple is that it’s hard to top . Well that's , unless you happen to have a dragon with a flair for dramatic timing 👌💛🌿 .
Age Of The Witch
You couldn’t be more right 🐉😁
Oh, you sweet Summer child. : )
@@okihaveaname Iam Certain a Man is not the only pervy block who thinks so, a man shouldn't worry.
As a woman as I read this am more concerned about how it would feel like setting on those Scales! Lol
Age Of The Witch
Of course, you know the answer to that question having read the books. Her thighs get severely chaffed.
Of all the beefs I have to pick with the show, the first is the Sand Snakes/Dorne, and the second is that Danny doesn't have a saddle for Drogon. Dragon riders had saddles!
Natalie Dormer (Margary) had played Anne Boleyn in the show "The Tudors", which depicted Henry the VIII and his six wives, before she joined GoT. I have been watching the series on Netflix and OMG...her performance in that was INCREDIBLE!! Now whenever I look at her, all I see is Queen Anne. You guys should check that show out in the future. I really think you would like it.
Natalie was incredible as Anne Boleyn. Soooo incredible that I went to University and majored in History just so I could learn as much as I could about the Tudor time period 😂
She nailed that role . She is a brilliant actress .
I really have to watch that, I’m always reading great things about it and how great Natalie was as Anne.
The Tudors is such a great show ! It would be really REALLY cool if they watch it !
Yes please!
Never thought I would hear Nikki utter this sentence: "I wanted to see some sparrows die"
Regarding Hodor's death.
Bran, during his connection to the Three Eyed Raven, accidentally linked BOTH past Wilis and present day Hodor when Meera was shouting at him to warg into Hodor. This connection broke Wilis's mind, due to being linked to his future self which was being torn apart by wights (Past Wilis will have possibly felt his future self dying!) George R.R. Martin sure likes to play with our emotions. =(
Yeah, basically I see the double-warging into Hodor and Wylis sort of created a "feedback loop" that broke Wylis' mind.
Fun Fact:
Randyll Tarly is the only person in Westeros who can claim to have bested Robert Baratheon as he dealt him his only defeat of the Rebellion at the Battle of Ashford...while Mace Tyrell took all the credit and then lay siege to Storms End for a year.
Your name is longer than your comment
Until Ned Stark defeated both
And this is why out of all of the Tyrells Mace is my least favorite, taking all the credit for something he didn’t do. Stupidly supporting Renly’s claim when he probably only heard the words “If you join, I will marry your daughter and make her my queen.” Falling for Cersei’s tricks, having to make decisions for his own house by going to Olenna for help, other than marching at the sept literally doing nothing to help his own children when they needed him most. Mace is just like Tommen but at an older age, he is useless.
It’s a shame these reactors didn’t get the opportunity to watch the DVD/Blu-Ray history and lord extras - it would’ve given them a much better perspective on the series.
I like the thought of Sam having a child with a wildling in order to get back at his dad lmao
"Oh, that would be a way to get back at you? Brb, gotta go impregnate all the remaining female wildlings."
Sansa went through a traumatic experience. It’s going to take time for her to trust people fully, including her brother. People deal with ptsd differently. Look at Theon.
@@ninjakick1375 you have no empathy and 0 brain cells.. end of debate
I feel like she hid the meeting from Jon so that she can swoop in and save the day, which makes me pissed.
Trauma isn’t an excuse then?
"Blood of my blood" is a dothraki phrase, referring to bloodriders (bodyguards) and the khal they protect.
Lmao everyone wants Joffrey back when they watch season six.
Adrenaline Maybe forreal though!!
I can’t understand why. People have short memories.
Lol yes everyone forgets the level of horrible Joff was
and tywin!!
just for a few moments to handle some business... nothing permanent. Ha!!!! - Steven
funny thing about Drogon, he's like, a tenth of the size of Balerion, Aegon the Conquerors dragon... yeah Drogon's gonna get huge, like mountain level huge.
Griffin Grandstaff is it weird that makes me want to battle Drogon?
Not a tenth.
Balerion was big, but not that big.
*Nikki&Steven, don't read*
In season 7 Drogon is half the size of Balerion, calculated by the size of his skull beneath the Red Keep.
I guess, I was taking outside the how information into account, which can skew depending on the source, but it is said that dragons never stop growing, so who honestly knows, and does it really matter? Drogon's gonna be big enough to swallow a horse and its rider whole at the rate he's growing, so there will be some debate or not on whether he's growing too fast, yadda yadda, It's a never ending debate, trying to figure out what goes on In the show writers heads, so you never know what they will come up with.
There is a video on TH-cam where someone does all the calculations based on the skull sizes and he estimated Baleron to be 560% bigger than Drogon. So little more than 5x the size.
yeah but if we compare the heads then it seems a big stretch to say he was 5x bigger than drogon in season 7
“Burn them all” hairs on the back of my head go crazy 😂 lol
"Burn them all "
Burn the mall!
Bran goes back into the past while Hodor is dying in the present. When he wargs into Hodor in the past, it creates a time-bridge that connects past-Hodor to Present-Hodor. It just so happens that the connection is created when Hodor is dying in the present. This fundamentally shocks past-Hodor, as he's experiencing his death--a traumatic experience for a brain. And this causes him to have a seizure, and his Past-brain altches on to the instruction he's given: to hold the door, but due to the damage to his brain from the seizure, he gets "stuck" and incapable of articulating himself.
Wait... I don't think you guys really got HODOR!!
I guess I'll quickly break it down.
Bran warged into both Willis and Hodor... so Willis was able to see his own death.. and THAT is what traumatized him... The one thing he heard was Hold The Door... and now due to that trauma.... its all he is able to say.
If I misunderstood.... and you guys do understand.... sorry about that. But that is NOT what I got from the recap.
Anyway, love you guys. Hope life is as beautiful as your souls.
❤
Eventually.... you Will have to watch Vikings. It's a very good show. 😉
I second that on Vikings!
Pretty succinct explanation. The same thing explains how the Night Kings knows where Bran was.
Stephanie Vales But why would bran purposely warg into Willis in the first place? It honestly seemed completely accidental that Willis got affected the way he did.
locomojoboy2 it was accidental. Bran was in his vision in the past and people on the outside were trying to wake him up to warg into Hodor so while stuck in the past he tried to do it but accidentally warged into young Hodor, Willis
I think Sansa lied to Jon on how she heard about the Blackfish to protect herself. I think lying has become a matter of survival for her and I can't blame her for that, even if it's against someone like Jon, who obviously cares about her. She learned a great deal from Cersei and LF.
Cersei and Little finger and Ramsey !
Jon was not receptive to her "advice", so I think she is just being guarded, and has every reason to be given her plight with Joffrey and Ramsey.
Valeria Oliveira:
More because she doesn't want LF ANYWHERE near her family. Sansa knows to get the North ;Jon, Bran and Rickon must be removed.
What she learned from Cersei, LF , Margery and the QOT is how to play the game, no where is show ( or book ) is Sansa heartless or cruel, though if you're her enemy she can throw some painful digs at you.
============================================================================================================================================================
Oh, go back to S4 E1, listen to Sansa and Tyrion's conversation and put it in the memory bank.
AoTW:
Along with: Ned, Cat, Septa, Margery, and TQOT.
I think she did not want to close that door (baelish's offer) for good .. she thinks they'd maybe need his help and she also knew jon would never accept it
Brandon be "Pullin a Warg!" 👀 💥👀 Awesome catchphrase Nikki! Love it! 💖
The old pulling a warg trick, haha. Another top quality reaction and Sam now has Heartsbane...some more Valyrian steel for the collection. Savage Steven is back with all the talk about taking out Randyll Tarly, I love it. Roll on next week, it will be awesomeness personified.
YES! Been waiting for this all day. Have really grown to love you guys and your videos! Have a great rest of your week.
Bran warging into Hodor in the past is the reason why Willis became Hodor. Remember when Bran yelled father and young Ned turned around? Bran can affect the past
I don't think he can. As the three-eyed-raven said: "The past is written, the ink is dry". The Hodor thing is a timeloop-paradoxon. Google grandfathers paradoxon, it's similar. Hodor was always Hodor because Bran always made him to Hodor which led to Bran making Hodor Hodor. Bran didn't cause it at THAT point we saw because Hodor already was Hodor. Well, it's a paradoxon so it's not really resolvable. But I think everything Bran seems to "change" always has been that way because he had already changed it.
He can't affect the past. That's the thing. Those are time paradoxes, a "grandfather paradox", meaning they are events that always happened and are bound to happen again and again and again. Bran can't just go into a vision and change things.
EDIT: I just googled about it and I don't know if 'loop' is what happened to Hodor. Though, his situation may be applied to something that can happen because it already happened, hence "the ink is dry".
Danny Kramer No.
there's a bit of a detail that needs to be noted here. while we did see he can affect the past he can't change what has happened. BUT he can change the future (or the present) in the past. Anything that had happened to the present is locked in. But from the present the timeline can be altered. that's why he told him "the ink is dry". more or less telling him don't try to change what has happened. it's a waste of time. don't repeat my mistakes.
I do wonder though how this is going to go down in the books since, differently from the show, Bran can only see the past from the eyes of a Heart Tree, and there is only one in Winterfell. Although Bloodraven says that one doesn't need the trees when he is too powerful, I don't think that Bran will have achieved that during the Hodor thingy.
Fun fact: Hodor's real name was changed from Walder to Wyllis in the show to avoid confusion between him and Walder Frey. Bran is already flying... Through time. That's what it means. The other 3 eyed raven was fucking powerful in his earlier days. He was Valyrian and fought in 3/5 Blackfyre Rebellions and his nickname was "Blood Raven" (Brynden Rivers bastard son of Aegon IV.... He was legitimized later in life).
This episode i want to mention here Randyll Tarly . He is a is a fierce, ruthless warrior and a highly effective general . Randyll fought on the Targaryen side during Robert's Rebellion. He commanded the royalist victory at the Battle of Ashford, the only defeat that Robert Baratheon ever suffered in the entire war. In this episode he is acting so rude to Sam but Randyll is an important figure in the GoT lore . He is ashamed with his son Sam and he think he will never be that great as he is .
I don't know how will i survive the weekend without You guys
LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN.....
Nah man, Venom is in theatres.
I mean ... yeah, we're all waiting for Carnage to begin, but the reality?
WE ARE THE LANNISTERS
@@rajeevrajthe1 HEAR ME ROAR
Oh there will definitely be carnage. That much I can promise you.
It's interesting to see how surprising some moments are for people binge watching for the first time. I was always expecting Benjen to appear there at some point :D
ControvT same here. I always knew he would return in a big way just at the right moment. I never believed he was dead.
Sansa knows that Jon doesn't like Baelish and would refuse to work with him because he couldn't trust him. They are polar opposites.
Exactly !! Thanks for explaining it simply and to the point :)
No no no no. I'm not a total Sansa hater, but really? This is too much. How does she know Jon doesn't like Baelish? He's never met Baelish at this point, and he's had no information about Baelish at the Wall. What Jon knows of Littlefinger is what Sansa has told him, only. So, if he has **any opinion** of Littlefinger at all, it's secondhand and shaped by how Sansa has talked about him, which we don't see on screen so we don't know what she's actually told him.
As for why Sansa lies to him? I honestly don't know, but this Sansa storyline irritates the hell out of me. I don't know if it's just stupid writing to create tension? If not, then I fall on the side that Sansa didn't tell Jon for some reason to benefit Sansa, as she's been mentored by Baelish and Cersei to act in this fashion. But if I say any more, then I'm creeping into spoiler territory so I'll stop here.
Baelish is an old rival of the family. Remember that he fought Ned's brother once in a duel and lost? Remember he was after Kat before Ned and her were paired up? He may not have met him but he knows who he is. And his reputation.
Did that rivalry mean anything to anyone except Baelish?
Except for the fact that it was one of the last things Brandon Stark did before brazenly riding off to Kings Landing to die, it’s not like it was some legendary and heroic fight that people would tell tales about for years to come. Littlefinger was a small, underdeveloped 15-yr-old son of a nobody when he fought Brandon, who was something like 20 yrs old.
And while I’m sure it was occasionally gossiped about in the South due to Littlefinger’s political presence and power (and, according to Tyrion, his boasting that he took Catelyn’s virginity), I doubt it was often on the minds of the people in the North, at least by the time the Stark children were of an age that the story would leave much of an impression.
Thinking about it, did the kids even know about the fight?
We know from the Starks’/Snow’s POV chapters in the books and a few lines in the show that Ned barely spoke of the time leading up to the Rebellion, so I doubt they would have heard much about it from him.
I guess Catelyn could have romanticized the story for her children, but that doesn’t seem her way. From her POV chapters, we learn that she was less than flattered by the whole ordeal - furious with Petyr for challenging Brandon and equally unhappy with Brandon for following through and injuring Petyr.
Truthfully, while it’s been a long time since I read the books, I don’t seem to recall Sansa or Arya in the show or the books remembering the story or connecting it to Littlefinger.
And if the girls don’t know this story concerning their mother, it seems even less likely that Jon would care about it.
He knows she was sold to Boltons by Littlefinger .. we never saw it on the show like we never saw him telling her he died and came back but thats something we have to assume .. she knows he would never accept his help but also she is not sure they could make it without him ..
Pausing for clarifying explanation: Sam’s family, the Tarlys, is one of the most powerful houses in The Reach.
The Reach is ruled by the Tyrells (Olenna, Loras, & Margaery’s family).
The most powerful ones after them, in no particular order, are houses:
Florent: Stannis’ wife’s family.
Hightower: rulers of Oldtown, where the Citadel trains maesters. This family is also at the core of at least one extremely elaborate conspiracy-fan-theory that I won’t bother going into.
Redwyne: they rule an island called The Arbor, which is where Arbor Gold wine (and a lot of other varieties) comes from. They also command the Redwyne Fleet, one of the largest navies held by a single family.
Tarly: strong military tradition, current patriarch is a colossal A-hole, as you’re about to find out.
...and many others of varying degrees of prominence.
Ok, digression over. Back to the video!
Also Lady Olenna was a Redwyne a well before she married into the Tyrell family
sancee777 Forgot about that. Thanks!
I’m so Happy that u guys enjoy the show! I can’t wait to see your guy’s reaction for the next episode.
I'm so freaking excited to see you guys watch the next 4 episodes!! Season 6 was sooo good!
I completely thought today was Friday and we weren't getting any GoT! Thank goodness I was wrong!
You seem to forget that Tommen is still a child who was never prepared to be king. He would have never been a king if his brother wasn't killed so he was never "coached". That's why he is so easily manipulated.
no, i am fully aware that he is young but it's time for his to graduate our of being called a child. in that world, gotta grow up quickly and I will 100% hold him accountable for his actions. - Steven
Well, no. He's not a child. You'll note that unlike Joffrey, he had grown to an age where a Regent wasn't necessary.
He is, however, very naive, and was never raised to rule. In fact, I'd even go far as to say Cersei never raised him to be anything but her pet. And once again, Cersei's fuckups ruin everyone's lives.
@@NikkiStevenReact It's hard to grow up when all his counselors are practically fighting each other, ever since Tommen became King to everyone's surprise including himself without much preparation since he was the youngest people have been influencing and manipulating him for their personal agenda and goals, Tywin, Margaery, Cersei, Kevin, High Sparrow, everyone has been pulling him to their direction and telling him to do something different from what someone else tells him, when Bran was Lord of Winterfell he was good because there wasn't people with their own agenda trying to pull him it was Maester Luwin helping him, Tommen on the other hand is being presented at such a young and naive age with many influences
@Nikki and Steven TBH with you, as long as Tommen marries Margaery and sent Cersei out of King’s Landing like what Margaery had said, I think he would’ve turned out a lot better because Margaery would be in control, mostly. I would rather have Margaery control Tommen more than Cersei or the High Sparrow because unlike those 2, I think she had good intentions for the realm. During their marriage, Margaery probably told Tommen to attend small council meetings and court sessions, so that way he could learn about politics like what she did in the books and was trying to get him away from Cersei and her cruelty. She was trying to give Tommen more backbone by refusing to sleep with him during the sparrow fiasco and was even trying to get him popular with the people of King’s Landing, somewhat because when Tommen made his speech when he stupidly sided with the sparrows, many people in King’s Landing were cheering about the crown and the faith alliance so they must’ve been pretty happy with it. Maybe all manipulative but those were things Tommen should have been doing as king in the first place right? Margaery was manipulating Tommen yes, but the results always resulted in Tommen benefiting and not just herself. Plus Tommen was so sweet and kindhearted so he probably would’ve been a benevolent ruler. Plus I think Margaery genuinely cared for Tommen in her own way and truly wanted him to be safe and happy, as none of her schemes ever resulted in Tommen getting hurt. Plus, she probably grew to like him because of his kindness and innocence well enough in the end. I don’t think she was planning on getting her kid husband killed to usurp the throne. As long as she was the Queen Consort, she would’ve gotten what she wanted, I believe. So that’s even more reason why I want Tommen to be under Margaery’s influence. Not only would the boy have a good influence by his side but he would also have a wife who genuinely likes and cares about him, unlike the High Sparrow and Cersei(as she only would’ve poisoned his mindset and would’ve trained him to be a worse ruler than he was originally.). And sure Tommen would’ve been Margaery’s puppet king, but tbh with you, so long as he was making great decisions for Westeros under Margaery’s spell, than no harm no foul. Because of all that, I believe Tommen and Margaery would’ve been great rulers together and could’ve brought some peace to the Seven Kingdoms, I think.
Im never happier than when i see you posted another reaction to GOT episodes.
4 Episodes next week?
Kyle Aitken I think it’s necessary.
yessssss and 2 parts for 9,10 we are pushing for 3 parts!! It's beyond worthy !!
@@ChefNourhan Yes 3 parts would be perfect
yeah the last 2 episodes have to be 2 parts at the least they're epic
Isn't telling them too make a reaction more parts technically a spoiler...since they will then know more important things happen in the episode..shouldn't they just watch it and see for them self if they should make it in more parts
Great editing. You actually throw in context to scenes.
thank you Nick!!! i put so much work into the editing of these videos so i really appreciate the comment. - Steven
@@NikkiStevenReact You're welcome, dude. You both do awesome reactions and actually spend time putting effort into them. Keep it up! 👍
Best response... When you guys both saw the Waif. "Oh my God". Beautiful.
5:36 Steven seeing himself in the show for the first time XD
Haha!!!
Balerion the Black Dread, a dragon ridden by Aegon the Conqueror, was so large, that his shadow could encompass entire towns when he passed overhead! His fire was also as black as his scales, and he lived to be 200 years old, half as old as Walder Frey! hehe
As for Arya, it was understood - she was either going to complete the job, or she would have to die. Jaqen H'gar told her there was not going to be a third chance. That is why Arya went and got needle, and found a nice dark place to hide out instead of going back.
Another great video! I love the reactions, and I love how you two work together to figure things out!
Valar Morghulis!
Imagine if you were Sansa & had to explain a lot of what went down in the last years. Or Jon, or Bran, or Arya, etc. No one really talks a lot about certain stuff, which means you leave out explanations about certain people as well, like Littlefinger.
Since we had months between seasons we knew a lot more than you do about geography, history, lore, characters, etc. In a certain (but very cute) way, You No Nothin House Sava, lol.
Thx... that is the first smart comment on why she lied to jon.
I swear... if anyone of them tries to explain the last few years people will think they were on mushrooms or something. Foe example: A pre-teen boy, a direwolf, a teenage girl & a 'simpleton giant' adult get into a cave with an old wizard pinned to a tree & another species, like for years.... Just sounds like a joke, lol. Where would he even start 'that' conversation?
"Show them what Lannissters are, what we do to our enemies." And our siblings.😅
I mean, Tommen is a really well-written character to me because, like so many other characters archetypes we see depicted in Game of Thrones, he's actually a very realistic portrayal of inadequate rulers. When you study history, both European/medieval history that inspired both the themes of western fantasy in general and the politics of GoT and when you study the history of other civilizations and their politics, you frequently see rulers with personalities like Tommen, others like Joffrey, along with a surrounding cast of power figures all exerting their influence over the ruler.
Tommen's behavior up to this point is very plausible for someone of his character. He lacks Joffrey's contempt and utter disregard for other people. He's aware he can't make their mistakes, but if you think about his family and the circumstances of how he was raised, he had really no good role models who helped him develop his own ideas and beliefs or the confidence to stand up for them, he hasn't really had any major adversity in his life (similar to Joffrey) to help him forge his priorities, and, despite being surrounded by political figures, he's clearly learned very little about being a political player himself (in contrast to someone like his mom, or Margaery. And you can tell he learned so little about politics because this is all clearly his first exposure to playing the Game of Thrones, where even his own mother was kinda playing it against him and around him, but not really in his interests.
Tommen is also clearly growing increasingly frustrated that, despite his being the king, he finds himself unable to do anything he wants without risking other repercussions he feels he wants to avoid. This is important because, for whatever reasons in the past history of Westeros, there's some degree of "separation of religion and state" that's been implicitly in the background up until now when Tommen decreed he was politically unifying the Faith and the Crown. In our world, political entanglements between religion and monarchs made the clergies of those religions extremely politically powerful (Holy Roman Empire, ancient Near Eastern empires, etc.).
But.. Tommen was desperate to do something that was within his power as king in order to free the woman he loved. And Margaery, this being part of her plan to ingratiate herself into the power of the Sparrows, is of course doing what she would to free herself in order to save her brother Loras. Unfortunately, Tommen is the Naive Tool character. And he's a very clear example of something that Cersei hinted at before: titles and so forth don't give you power, having power (enough to remove/divert competitors) is what eventually leads to titles. Danaerys, Robert Baratheon, Tyrion, Lady Olenna, Margaery, Drogo, most of the "adult" characters in the show with any political experience understand this, but obviously Tommen never learned this, whether from others or figuring it out for himself. It's infuriating but it's great writing and story.
The High Sparrow controls Tommen like a puppet.
to be fair who didn't control Tommen like a puppet? His Mother, his Grandfather, and his wife were all manipulating and controlling him. None of them were doing anything to benefit him, they were all using him to advance themselves
Don't think Joffrey would have been able to do anything. Joffrey would have made the situation with the High Sparrow worse and the crowd would have been turned against the Lannister/Tyrells and the angry mob would have marched on the Red Keep.... GAME OVER!
THANK you!
No i think Joffrey would have had all the sparrows killed long before Cercei put them in power. The council was complaining about it for a while before it got really out of hand and Cercei decided she needed to make peace with them.
Gwenhwyfar Aine... You can think what you want, but the fact is Joffrey only go in the council once, when Robb and Catlyn died. Remember the scene with Tywin ? When Tywin decided to start holding council meetings in the Tower of the Hand, adjacent to his own chambers ?
Joffrey would have do nothing, he was too busy to torture prostitutes...
The best you could have hope from him, it's him using his crossbow on the sparrows arround the Red Keep, in security.
When Nikki said “Yeah man, me too!” @ Dani, I FELT that. Same.
Dragons never stop growing as long as they live, and they can live for centuries. The largest Targaryen dragon, Balerion the Black Dread, lived for nearly two centuries and had a skull the size of a carriage(almost twice the size that drogon is now).
I was under the impression that Hodor (through Bran) was able to see his own death and it made his mind snap. The last words that were ever spoken to him, "Hold the Door" were the only words he could speak for the rest of his life. Sooo sad.😭
Drogon in the end was saying
Let's Gooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
0:19 That little "we are..." "are we?" moment was got dang adorable guys
Hey I know your saying Tommen is an idiot but he is doing what Tywin told him listening to wise council. He is young and in love. he didnt "make a deal" with the High Sparrow he was "saved" and became a true believer. Margery is playing the game. Tommen drunk the juice... in his defense the High Sparrow have not shown himself to be a hypocrite or coming up with stuff on the spot its in their books....sure he is smug sometimes..but he knows how lowborn suffer while the highborn play their Game
Can't get through the day without your videos.
In Tommen's defense he never had a real father he never had any real training to be king
tness93 - Yeah, most people that only watched the show barely knew he existed before Jeffrey’s death. I think they mentioned him once? LOL it’s funny to think about him just in holding somewhere in case they needed a replacement boy king lol
tness93 he had two fathers a mom and 2 uncles 😏
Jeoffrey never had a real father either
Not Betraying his own Ken doesn't take much of anything! Lol
A lot of people didn't even notice the actor change.
I like that "Half Baked" quote there at the end, Steven.. LOL 😂
Oh how I refresh and refresh... LOL 😂
Yes, it’s me, Dexter’s sister. Still working on your painting but it would be inappropriate for me to send it before you’ve watched the episode I’m referencing.
Gonna watch now (SO STOKED)
Nikki "slow down!" LOL I live for those moments
Before you two start season 7 can we get a Game of Thrones shelf building/ Wall decorating home DIY video with you guys? I think you could use an emotional breather between seasons. Plus it'd be fun to see you guys up moving around in a new style video.
If someone sent me a giant sword, it would literally be in my hand in every reacting video! lol
NO BREAKSS!!!!! lol
we can give that a shot.
Stacey E
I really don't want to break the camera to accidentally stab nikki... we are going to find the perfect place for it.
@@Kershmey Kahl Steve, omg. 😂
High Sparrow was like ...no boobs today , you can all go home . Hehe with the Smallfinger and Varys chasing birds , a new Sparrow is in town :)
I'm so excited for y'all! It feels like I'm reliving the show watch these reactions! Side Note: Drogon is gonna keep growing. In the previous season, you hear the legendary stories about Balerion the Black Dread, who was Aegon Targaryens dragon. At his biggest, drogon currently looks like a dog in comparison to Balerion. Also, you see that Vision and Rhaegal are smaller because while they were in their chains (before Tyrion freed them), they were restrained and their growth was almost hindered. Drogon never experienced some sort of lock up that's why he looks significantly bigger than his brothers.
"The time has come, for you, to become me." - The Three Eyed Raven
apparently dragons never stop growing. the original dragon used to first conquer westeros were 10 times as big.
I just love the fact that Steven is wearing Julien's shirt. Jenna & Julien are two of my favorite TH-camrs, and I think it's so cool that Nikki & Steven, who have quickly become 2 of my favorite reactors like Jenna & Julien as well.
this addiction is getting strong.
That “oh noooooo” was one of the cutest things I’ve seen you guys do lol
Benjen Stark - Westeros' greatest hide and seek player
Gendry is in the running...oar rowing
A dragon.. full grown? They never stop growing :D
In case anyone is wandering.. quote from the book, “Balerion the Black Dread was two hundred years old when he died during the reign of Jaehaerys the Conciliator. He was so large he could swallow an aurochs whole. A dragon never stops growing, Your Grace, so long as he has food and freedom.”
No, Drogon is not full grown yet! The dragons never stop growing if they have a large enough environment to thrive in, like a gold fish. They don't actually know how big they can get, but Balerion the Black Dread was so big he could swallow a mammoth whole!! Daenery's dragons are still babies.
YAY! cant wait until you both finish season 7 and can discuss properly
us too... it's been an amazing road
I love those dragons and I love Dany!! My two sons always laughed at me when I filled in what the dragons were saying, just like Nikki ~ "What you said, Mom!!" They are her babies! Hard not to love a fellow fierce Mama.
Bran kept hodor holding the door. Hodor would probably have been killed in the cave he was so frightened.
The "OH NO!" in unison upon seeing the Waif at 13:50 would have made for a great intro clip. :D
Healthy dragons that aren't in captivity never stop growing according to George RR Martin, even though it does slow down as they age.
"Is he full grown yet" They never stop growing until they die. Balerion the dread which was the Aegons dragon during the conquering of Westeros .. his head was bigger than drogons entire body.
Been looking forward to this for at least 24 hours.... The time has come!
This is my *favorite* season. I can't wait to hear N&S's thoughts on season six as a whole after the finale. So, so epic.
6:44 The show's version of cold hands a character from the books
Also, BLOOD OF MY BLOOD refers to the blood riders that a Khal chooses. When a Khal dies, they die with him. Now Danaerys is the Khaleesi, and she chose all of them. The whole Khalasar is her blood riders now -- the blood of her blood. *Chills*
The blood of my blood may also refer to Bran and Benjen in this episode. The titles almost always have multiple meanings in GOT :)
Sansa lied to Jon because she's smart. She loves him and trusts his character and honesty, but doesn't know him well enough to trust his judgement. That Stark naive honesty got Robb and Ned killed, and she has learned to 'trust no one' from Cersei and Littlefinger. She also knows that as a girl her opinion won't be taken seriously, even though she has had the most experience in politics of any of the children. So she chooses to keep an ace up her sleeve and watch Jon's decision making from a distance until she knows whether he makes smart choices.
LOL towards the end.... Nikki shouts Dont talk to my baby like that I will hurt you......., F you F you F you, and then steven gets feisty?? LOL love you both:) so much fun great reactions as always
The past is written the past can NOT be changed by Bran it always happened
Is this the first video that has started with Nikki saying something other than, "Oh my god!" and covering her mouth? Haha XD This was a more chill and much kinder episode than the last. I love your reactions so much!
Hola chicos! Ya estaba esperando a que subieran su reacción a este capítulo, su canal es uno de mis favoritos
