Lady Mormont is a brilliant politician for a ten year old. She publicly shames the most powerful lords in the north who didn’t help Jon against the Boltons. That forces Lords Manderly and Glover to save face by supporting Jon as King in the North. The first time I saw this episode I was yelling “King of the North” so loudly I woke my wife up who was sleeping upstairs (she wasn’t happy with me).
The Red Wedding is finally avenged. Tywin died by crossbow like Grey Wind, Roose by knife to the heart like Robb, and Walder by throat slit from behind like Cat. The connection here is AMAZING. I know GRRM wasn't involved in later seasons, but he HAD to have told them specifics like this, because it's too perfect!!
Not really though... What about Talisa? And Tywin was not killed by Northerners or Stark associates Roose Bolton was not killed by Stark associates either. Both were killed by their sons. So the Red Wedding was not really avenged in full, since two of the three perpetrators of it, were not killed by related parties. It was accidental, almost (or incidental) Only Arya truly avenged it by killing Walder Frey and his crew. Technically, The Vale avenged it on the part of Sansa, against the Bolton forces and the Wildlings avenged it on the part of Jon Stark against said forces.
@USCFlash it was avenged because they died. If you can say that the Vale helped, then Tyrion helped as well. Call it karma or justice or whatever you want, but it was avenged. As far as Talisa goes, now you're just nit picking. The three main characters killed were Robb, Cat, and Grey Wind. If we start saying 'what about Talisa' then we need to start saying 'what about the foot soldiers' etc. And as far as GRRM was concerned, Talisa wasn't even there in the books.
@@mamaseesa3122 Again, that is not avenging it. YOur points do not hold up at all. What about Talisa and Baby Stark? AGain, do they not get avenged. So now, Grey Wind is a more important character than the Queen of the NOrth and the unborn heir? Grey Wind was not one of the main characters. He is barely even in the show. Your points are silly.

No. Did Ramsay act on behalf of the Starks in any way, by killing his father? No. Your points do not hold. Here endeth the lesson.
One of my fav episodes of any television I’ve seen. The opening score to the episode is divine and haunting. Love your reactions! The knowing glances straight to camera from Stefani just before craziness takes place is EVERYTHING!
Subtle theme to the music in the beginning was that when nobody knew the plan it was gentle and slow but as people became aware of the impending doom it got faster and louder to match the panic levels Beautiful
And the academy wouldn't let the show submit it for best music score because it reused some of the original theme it it. Which sucks the music should have won for best score that year
Enough is never said about how much Ned cared for his sister, not even revealing to Cat that Jon is his nephew. Or, the significance of Lyanna understanding what Robert's Fury would have done to the child. From the very first episode and into the first season, Robert's "Fury" toward Rhaegar is depicted and projected to all Targaryen's. Ned clearly understood the peril that would face Jon, having grew up with Robert (Ours is the Fury). Could you imagine taking that secret to the grave, and absorbing all the 'hate' for having a bastard son?
Well I he knew Cat was a loose cannon. Let’s not forget the two big mistakes she made. Taking Tyrion prisoner. Letting Jamie go. And why did the daughters have to go to King’s Landing? If you ask me both of those Tully girls were a bit touched in the head, to but it mildly. Obviously one way more than the other.
@@anthonydanna6069Ned made the decision to take Arya to the capital. Sansa had to go in order to be wed to Joffery as a symbol of Ned's agreement to serve as hand. ("You have a daughter, I have a son. We'll join our houses." DONE DEAL) 🤷🏽♀️ As a book reader, I'm not sure I would classify Cat as a "loose cannon".
Lindsay, we are indeed so proud of you for figuring out Jon's parentage long ago and sticking to your guts! And never apologize for your antics. :) Also, gotta love Ashley's struggling with putting her thoughts in order. She's always been so bloody and gloriously focused.
Dude, the phrase is "Stick to your guns". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It derives from the British Navy of centuries ago. When the ships were under fire, if the gunners abandoned their cannons due to fear/intimidation or initial loss, the ship was doomed. Only by "sticking to their guns" and keeping up aimed, calm, accurate fire, could they survive and win.
- love the green eyeshadow! - the way the camera stays fixed on the window, sept burning in the background, Tommen walking out of and then back into frame… and the way he jumps, without hesitation… it’s chilling!
The trial scene with the setting, the music, the building tension and the final explosion is my favorite scene from GOT. It's all the more incredible since clues to Cersei's plan had been placed during previous episodes. - Episode 6: at the beginning, Bran has multiple visions of the past and the future, and we see the wild fire spreading underground - Episode 7 : Olenna tells Cersei that she is surrounded by enemies and asks her if she plans to kill them all by herself :) - Episode 8: when Jaime speaks to Edmure in the tent, he tells him Cersei would be ready to reduce cities to ashes for her children - Episode 8: Cersei and Qyburn discuss an "old rumor" that Qyburn's little birds confirmed, saying there was much more than they thought - Episode 9: Tyrion tells Daenerys that the Mad King had scattered caches of wild fire under several places in the city, including the sept of Balor
Has anyone pointed out yet that, now that a lot of the men are dead, the family leaders are mostly women? Cersei as Queen, Dany as rival Queen, Lady Mormont, Olenna Tyrell, Ellaria Sand, Yara Greyjoy (is at least contending for House Greyjoy's seat). So now, everything has shifted to the women.
Arya does know her mother's throat was cut. I'm pretty sure she heard it somewhere. Weren't those guys in the woods she killed with the Hound talking about it before they started talking about sewing the direwolf's head onto Robb's body? I deffo remember her hearing it somewhere. But if not, it was probably common knowledge. If not, she'd have heard it while she was in disguise at the Twins. And if not, it was probably included in that play she saw in Braavos.
So many of Lindsay's crazy predictions come to pass. --------- So many more were tin foil hat, but to see her mind work throughout the series has been a combination of comedy and intrigue. Great work. Love these reactions.
The exhulatation expressed by the ladies at the death of Walder Fray. -------- I think back to Sweet summer child Lindsay in the first episode. Bristling at the sight of death. What a journey the ladies have taken have taken.
Say what you want, but I do love Cersei 😍🥰😘🤩....she is the true Queen of Mean. A great character, even though most hate her. When she walks out of the room saying "Shame" and closes the cell door....truly the epitome of poetic justice. heh heh heh. 🫣🫢🤭
@@MugShotzReacts When I first watched this, it was the Sunday night it was coming out. I was doing some Sunday night overtime coverage... I let out the loudest audible gasp into a quiet office space, when Tommen commits. I thought security was gonna come investigating to see what happened. hahaha
I think a lot of us having been waiting so long to give Lindsay her props for calling Jon's parentage. Also, so satisfying to see the realization dawning on new people as this episode unfolds. Masterful storytelling her and seems like Lindsay and Ashley really enjoyed the experience! Been loving the green eyes, seeing you fighting the anticipation here was a big part of the draw of this episode ;). Can't wait to see Ashley's face in response to finding out Bran's job.
Thank you for the reaction. You are so perfect, ladies, both with a lot personality ! Lindsay with her imagination and quick brillance intuition, Ashley with her very good reasoning and memory. You're a golden team !
A fanfic writer once wrote in the foreword of their story, "Because Jaime killed the Mad King for less". And I thought it was so well said. It never made sense that Jaime still went back to Cersei after this.
19:51 Ashley's shriek there was priceless! It was so proper with her hands covering her mouth that it almost seemed British, LOL! I don't know if that even makes sense, but we used to think that if our cat could speak he would have a British accent because he was a tuxedo, lol. He sadly passed away after a long 17 years in Nov 2022. 34:40 then the Canadian reaction! 😂
One of my gripes is how the High Sparrow went from a brilliant villain to an idiot at the end. He manipulates Cersi into rearming the Faith Militant, imprisons the Tyrel kids, betrays and captures Cersi, and gets Tommen on his side. Some good villain work there. Letting Cersi go was a big mistake but religious fundamentalists tend to underestimate women. He expected the walk of shame to crush Cersi. But in his defense he didn’t know about Frankenmountain or the Wildfire. But HS’s dumbest move was expecting Cersi to willingly show up to a trial that she knew she’d lose. He should have sent hundreds of Faith militant to the Red Keep to get her. Tommen would have ordered the palace guards to stand down and the rest of the king’s guards to stand aside. The Mountain would have been overwhelmed by numbers. Cersi probably would have blown up the place anyway since she couldn’t stop it and death (while killing her enemies) would have been preferable to whatever punishment the faith would sentence her to.
None of it made any sense like Kevan Lannister isn’t stupid either. The whole thing since capturing Loras was a complete mess. The Tyrell’s would’ve taken kings landing immediately.
Love the reaction. Loved the intro where Ashley looks at Lindsey like are you going to seriously act out the entire last episode like we didn't just watch it. And then Ashley's look back to you Stephani of OMG she is seriously going to act the whole thing out please make her stop was great. One of Lindsay's noodles finally stuck to the wall, in the early episodes she was flinging noodles left and right and one finally paid off. Love all of you guys, I've definitely needed to laugh after the last few weeks of holiday stress and this was just the boost I needed. Oh and I so want to see how far Lindsay took the "I lost my twins" thing because that was some seriously dark humor. Maybe in a short? Unless of course it is too hot for TH-cam.
So satisfying to see Lindsay and Ashley get L+R=J exactly right and so quickly. I've seen so many reactors get it completely wrong, ignoring all the hints throughout the series ("Incest Baby Jon!" "Jon Baratheon!" just idiotic). I'd love you guys to watch one of the R+L=J videos now, or did you guys do that already? At any rate, I normally don't rewatch the last two seasons at all, but I love you guys so much I'll try to do at least some of S7 with you.
Been waiting for this one, my favourite episode of the series. So jam packed with every story line. All the reactions of Ashley and Lindsay were a reflection of mine watching for the first time. As a non book reader I was clueless to all the twists and turns in this episode.
This is nothing like the books. Half the bad story lines aren’t happening the Tyrells immediately marched on kings landing when they arrested Margery and Loras was never arrested. Sam father got Margarey freed immediately. Also Jamie refused to help Cersei so she’s on her own. Jon is dead and Sansa is still at the Vale.
I love seeing Cersei blow up The Sept 😂😂😂 I know people hate her and she’s evil but I always loved a villain and I love how evil she is. Her sipping that wine on the balcony and smelling the air as it hits her is so hysterical. Lena Heady smashed that role.
I love the three different facial expressions during the huge moments, like the wildfire explosion or Tomen’s suicide. From left to right, it is usually knowing anticipation, shock, and amused realization.
Stefani couldn't hide her excitement once that music started! Thank you for not making the "King's Landing!" joke after Tommen's scene btw. I love Lindsay's predictions too. "Did they use it all?" when wildfire was mentioned, and she immediately knew who that baby was as soon as he appeared.
Jon being Lyanna’s son reveal always makes me weep. Even though I always believed R+L=J. It’s just so emotional, Leana’s dying behest, Ned loosing his sister and keeping his promise, the swell of music, the cut from baby to grown Jon. Gets me EVERY DAMN TIME.
Not sure if you guys remember when Bran told the story of the rat cook in season 3. Talked about him feeding the pie to the lord with his sons in it and then it immediately cut to frey after the story
Great reaction Mugshotz! The music to the trial scene is beautiful. It's called 'Light of The seven' Stefanis eye make up giving a nod to wildfyre 💚 i spotted it!!! Ashley's shock! seems mind blown taking it all in 🤪 Lindsays reaction to everything Jon Snow 😂🫶🙌
"It's about to get... LIT!" yes, yes it is Lindsay edit: also the rings that tell the story of Roberts rebellion in the opening credits of the show was hanging from the ceiling of the Citadel library when Sam walked in.
So many great and terrible things happened in this episode, but I have one that is Chief among them all, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who thinks so. Every time I see Arya suprise Walder Frey, I reflect on her path from home, to King's Landing, to the road north, the cupbearer to Tywin Lannister, her time with the Hound... and then assassin school with the Faceless Men.. And now... she's back in Westeros! It brings tears of joy because.. well, OUR little girl isn't a little girl anymore! I know there are a lot of people who dislike the way the rest of the story unfolds, but don't listen to the haters! There are still so many great and terrible things to happen! The people who complain about it couldn't write stories, short or longform. One fact escapes everyone who will talk down on the rest of the story. Do you know who isn't upset with the end of the show? The author of this Great Tale!
This piano by Ramin Djawadi is already part of me, like Jenny's song, but for that we will have to wait friends.Finally, the story of the rat-baker that Bran told the Reeds, along with Arya's smile... exquisite
Yes! When seeing this episode back in the day, I noticed the "serving girl" (Arya in disguise) was the only one of the women who gave Jamie the stink-eye instead of fawning all over him. I mentioned to the friend who was watching with me, that my gut was telling me it was Arya.
Only way Tommen's swan dive could have been funnier or more unexpected, is if he'd done it with a running start from offscreen and jump through the window....like he was doing a cannonball into a pool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arya did know how her mom died. She heard the group of Frey men camping laughing about Rob and Cat's deaths. It was where she killed the guy by dropping the coin and the Hound got the rest.
The Absolute best episode of any TV series! Cinematography, musical score, editing, and seamless storytelling for a season finale are all at peak level.
I said it in a reply to another comment, but the theme during the trial is the first time ever in Game Of Thrones where piano was used. That's one of the reasons why it feels different to the other themes on the show, because they've never done it before.
I've just noticed that there are no candles, torches or chandeliers in the library, only mirrors that provide the light.... he product designers have really thought about this
I'm partway through the opening sequence as they begin the trial. The best part is watching Stefani try not to react to Lindsay and Ashley's comments as things unfold. That's always been the case throughout the series, but for some reason it's even more entertaining for this episode, knowing what's about to happen. The comments are just a little too "on the nose."😆
@Stef you will HAVE to show them the R+L=J after Bran & Sam figure it out. The revelation that Ned put family above honor with regards to baby Jon changes everyone's perspective on Ned. He would rather keep his promise to his sister and carry the stain of cheating on his wife than let the truth come out. Like when Ned & King Robert were talking about Ned's bastard's mother, when King Robert told him he's too hard on himself, or when he resigned as Hand when King Robert wanted to kill Daenerys. In the books, when Ned is about to get executed his last thoughts were how he let Jon down.
It's of small matter, but I've always contended that the final scene is NOT Dany sailing to Westeros but rather Dany sailing from Dorne to the Westeros destination revealed in season 7, hence the presence of Varys and the Dornish fleet in the last scene. It seems to me the only way that scene makes sense logistically. Although Dorne is not extremely far from Mereen, it just wouldn't make sense for Varys and the Dornish fleet to sail to Essos just to turn around and sail back to Westeros w/ Dany's fleet.
When she asked "Now that Bran is the three eyed raven what is his job?" Your reaction 🤷🏾♀️ That had me hollering 😂 After this episode he's no longer Bran and you got to pay close attention to his choices from this point on.
To see Ashley's mind get blown by the early show nuggets coming full circle and being paid off. -------- Understanding the depth of the story writing makes the show next level than any other in the history of television.
Your once a week posting always leaves me in a moment of... "Where did we leave off again?" But when I saw the greenish hue of the thumbnail, I knew exactly what what time it is!
38:20 where exactly it's mentioned that it's "Child birth" .. beforehand??? Anyways realising before the scene and also letting others realise even before they react .. especially to those few very important scenes of the entire show..is just wrong 😅
Knowing that this amazing episode was coming at the end of the season, I had really hoped that your custom season cocktail was going to be a "Light of the Seven"... nice and green with creme de menthe. 😁🍸
See Toman broken hearing the news, but still he cannot go against his mother.. so nothing left for him.. he decided to put his torment once in for all.. RIP Toman wise but he lacks courage always.
The standout of this episode, was Queen Cersei or the House Lannister. She dropped her husbands name and 9/11’ed Kings Landing to take power. She became my favorite character after this episode…. 😂😂😂😂
I think it is "iffy" at best that in the story that has been set up that Cersei would be allowed to sit the Iron Throne, however this is the story they are choosing to tell: Cersei is Queen not because of inheritance but because there was no one strong enough to deny her ascension. Its not really by conquest, but it is a sort of conquest (sort of maybe).
The people of Kings Langing would not accept Cersei as Queen!! After she destroyed the Sept of Balor and killed the High Sparrow who championed the poor !!
![Three Friends FINALLY react to 'Battle of the B*st*rds' [S6E9] FIRST WATCH!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6A9G9hf29HE/mqdefault.jpg)
I always think about Jaime walking into the throne room to see Cersei's coronation. A new ruler automatically lets him know Tommen is dead.
Long may she reign!

One of my gripes is how the High Sparrow went from a brilliant villain to an idiot at the end. He manipulates Cersi into rearming the Faith Militant, imprisons the Tyrel kids, betrays and captures Cersi, and gets Tommen on his side. Some good villain work there. Letting Cersi go was a big mistake but religious fundamentalists tend to underestimate women. He expected the walk of shame to crush Cersi. But in his defense he didn’t know about Frankenmountain or the Wildfire. But HS’s dumbest move was expecting Cersi to willingly show up to a trial that she knew she’d lose. He should have sent hundreds of Faith militant to the Red Keep to get her. Tommen would have ordered the palace guards to stand down and the rest of the king’s guards to stand aside. The Mountain would have been overwhelmed by numbers. Cersi probably would have blown up the place anyway since she couldn’t stop it and death (while killing her enemies) would have been preferable to whatever punishment the faith would sentence her to.
None of it made any sense like Kevan Lannister isn’t stupid either. The whole thing since capturing Loras was a complete mess. The Tyrell’s would’ve taken kings landing immediately.
Love the reaction. Loved the intro where Ashley looks at Lindsey like are you going to seriously act out the entire last episode like we didn't just watch it. And then Ashley's look back to you Stephani of OMG she is seriously going to act the whole thing out please make her stop was great. One of Lindsay's noodles finally stuck to the wall, in the early episodes she was flinging noodles left and right and one finally paid off. Love all of you guys, I've definitely needed to laugh after the last few weeks of holiday stress and this was just the boost I needed. Oh and I so want to see how far Lindsay took the "I lost my twins" thing because that was some seriously dark humor. Maybe in a short? Unless of course it is too hot for TH-cam.
Piano, chorus, organ, cello... if you hear those thing one after another, you know the buildup will end with something spectacular.
My favorite episode!! Lets go!!
So satisfying to see Lindsay and Ashley get L+R=J exactly right and so quickly. I've seen so many reactors get it completely wrong, ignoring all the hints throughout the series ("Incest Baby Jon!" "Jon Baratheon!" just idiotic). I'd love you guys to watch one of the R+L=J videos now, or did you guys do that already? At any rate, I normally don't rewatch the last two seasons at all, but I love you guys so much I'll try to do at least some of S7 with you.
The best episode of this series!!!
Best opening 15 minutes of a show ever!
Been waiting for this one, my favourite episode of the series. So jam packed with every story line. All the reactions of Ashley and Lindsay were a reflection of mine watching for the first time. As a non book reader I was clueless to all the twists and turns in this episode.
well technically - the books haven't resumed since Jon's death so nobody knew the twists and turns in this episode.
This is nothing like the books. Half the bad story lines aren’t happening the Tyrells immediately marched on kings landing when they arrested Margery and Loras was never arrested. Sam father got Margarey freed immediately. Also Jamie refused to help Cersei so she’s on her own. Jon is dead and Sansa is still at the Vale.
When the episode started.. I thought to myself.. Did she color her eyes like that for the Wildfire.. How cheeky.
😏
min 23:20 There we have a close up to the tower of oldtown, which gives its name to house Hightower... that we get to see in HoTD hehe
I love seeing Cersei blow up The Sept 😂😂😂 I know people hate her and she’s evil but I always loved a villain and I love how evil she is. Her sipping that wine on the balcony and smelling the air as it hits her is so hysterical. Lena Heady smashed that role.
Yes she did 👏🏻
I love the three different facial expressions during the huge moments, like the wildfire explosion or Tomen’s suicide. From left to right, it is usually knowing anticipation, shock, and amused realization.
Stefani couldn't hide her excitement once that music started! Thank you for not making the "King's Landing!" joke after Tommen's scene btw.
I love Lindsay's predictions too. "Did they use it all?" when wildfire was mentioned, and she immediately knew who that baby was as soon as he appeared.
Jon being Lyanna’s son reveal always makes me weep. Even though I always believed R+L=J. It’s just so emotional, Leana’s dying behest, Ned loosing his sister and keeping his promise, the swell of music, the cut from baby to grown Jon. Gets me EVERY DAMN TIME.
Not sure if you guys remember when Bran told the story of the rat cook in season 3. Talked about him feeding the pie to the lord with his sons in it and then it immediately cut to frey after the story
I love Lindsay so much 😂❤
Great reaction Mugshotz!
The music to the trial scene is beautiful. It's called 'Light of The seven'
Stefanis eye make up giving a nod to wildfyre 💚 i spotted it!!!
Ashley's shock! seems mind blown taking it all in 🤪
Lindsays reaction to everything Jon Snow 😂🫶🙌
To Profligate is to be wildly extravagant/shamelessly self-indulgent
"It's about to get... LIT!" yes, yes it is Lindsay
edit: also the rings that tell the story of Roberts rebellion in the opening credits of the show was hanging from the ceiling of the Citadel library when Sam walked in.
The music in that eppy is brilliant.. From Cersei to Oldtown to Dani sailing to Westeros..XO
Ahhh Ashley, such a cold hearted episode to wear a sweater of warm hearts. GOT brings out the best in us every episode.
So many great and terrible things happened in this episode, but I have one that is Chief among them all, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who thinks so.
Every time I see Arya suprise Walder Frey, I reflect on her path from home, to King's Landing, to the road north, the cupbearer to Tywin Lannister, her time with the Hound... and then assassin school with the Faceless Men..
And now... she's back in Westeros! It brings tears of joy because.. well, OUR little girl isn't a little girl anymore!
I know there are a lot of people who dislike the way the rest of the story unfolds, but don't listen to the haters! There are still so many great and terrible things to happen! The people who complain about it couldn't write stories, short or longform. One fact escapes everyone who will talk down on the rest of the story. Do you know who isn't upset with the end of the show? The author of this Great Tale!
That’s why it’s called “Kings Landing”
This piano by Ramin Djawadi is already part of me, like Jenny's song, but for that we will have to wait friends.Finally, the story of the rat-baker that Bran told the Reeds, along with Arya's smile... exquisite
Walder Frey's bragging wasn't the only thing Lindsay missed... She missed Arya eyeing Ser Jaime...
Cheers!
Yes! When seeing this episode back in the day, I noticed the "serving girl" (Arya in disguise) was the only one of the women who gave Jamie the stink-eye instead of fawning all over him. I mentioned to the friend who was watching with me, that my gut was telling me it was Arya.
I was so exited for this episode, great reaction, now waiting for you to reach "The Spoils of War"
Margery dying in green fire is so ironic given she's half-Hightower lol
Easily some of Liam Cunningham's best acting there. You feel Davos' anger and sorrow.
Ashley trying to noodle everything after the episode ended 😆
Her brain was exploding 🤯
Good job Stephanie not spoiling but I counted at least 3devious smile on TH-cam at 12:04 already 😂
I can’t help myself hahaha
Only way Tommen's swan dive could have been funnier or more unexpected, is if he'd done it with a running start from offscreen and jump through the window....like he was doing a cannonball into a pool
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is my reason to follow you guys. So i could see your reactions to this episode. 😂😂
Arya isn't no one.
"Finally a girl is no one."
"I'm Arya Stark and I'm going home."
Arya did know how her mom died. She heard the group of Frey men camping laughing about Rob and Cat's deaths. It was where she killed the guy by dropping the coin and the Hound got the rest.
Ah you’re right!
The Absolute best episode of any TV series! Cinematography, musical score, editing, and seamless storytelling for a season finale are all at peak level.
Whoa no way lol
loved the flashback at the end
I said it in a reply to another comment, but the theme during the trial is the first time ever in Game Of Thrones where piano was used. That's one of the reasons why it feels different to the other themes on the show, because they've never done it before.
Yeah! I mentioned this in the outro!
They used it for the season 7 trailer which was cool after this.
The day has finally come
To everyone's surprise. Out the window Tommin goes. I guess GOT has a way of making us pay attention when we least expect it.
Lol he had a Kings Landing
@jeffbachman2949 that's cold Jeff. Real cold.
I find Ned's calling for some water for Lyanna so hilarious every time😂.
I've just noticed that there are no candles, torches or chandeliers in the library, only mirrors that provide the light.... he product designers have really thought about this
PLEASE REACT TO R+L=J❤
Pretty sure they did... Stef even referred to it in this video.
Also Alt Shift X's video on the subject.
This is the best episode in the entire show. Next season Queen vs King vs Queen
I clicked on this as soon as I saw it! Let's Go! ❤
I'm partway through the opening sequence as they begin the trial. The best part is watching Stefani try not to react to Lindsay and Ashley's comments as things unfold. That's always been the case throughout the series, but for some reason it's even more entertaining for this episode, knowing what's about to happen. The comments are just a little too "on the nose."😆
@Stef you will HAVE to show them the R+L=J after Bran & Sam figure it out. The revelation that Ned put family above honor with regards to baby Jon changes everyone's perspective on Ned.
He would rather keep his promise to his sister and carry the stain of cheating on his wife than let the truth come out. Like when Ned & King Robert were talking about Ned's bastard's mother, when King Robert told him he's too hard on himself, or when he resigned as Hand when King Robert wanted to kill Daenerys. In the books, when Ned is about to get executed his last thoughts were how he let Jon down.
Profligacy is when you spend a lot of money uselessly. Like buying a golden dinner table or buying out and entire brothel in GOT context.
But I need the golden table!! I’m no one without it!!
Yay!!! Best episode in the ENTIRE SERIES!!!
WE MADE IT!! ❤
It's of small matter, but I've always contended that the final scene is NOT Dany sailing to Westeros but rather Dany sailing from Dorne to the Westeros destination revealed in season 7, hence the presence of Varys and the Dornish fleet in the last scene. It seems to me the only way that scene makes sense logistically. Although Dorne is not extremely far from Mereen, it just wouldn't make sense for Varys and the Dornish fleet to sail to Essos just to turn around and sail back to Westeros w/ Dany's fleet.
When she asked "Now that Bran is the three eyed raven what is his job?"
Your reaction 🤷🏾♀️
That had me hollering 😂
After this episode he's no longer Bran and you got to pay close attention to his choices from this point on.
To see Ashley's mind get blown by the early show nuggets coming full circle and being paid off. -------- Understanding the depth of the story writing makes the show next level than any other in the history of television.
Look at Quiburn, He admired her, found her fascinating, and best of all, he didn't care that she was a woman!
Your once a week posting always leaves me in a moment of... "Where did we leave off again?" But when I saw the greenish hue of the thumbnail, I knew exactly what what time it is!
38:20 where exactly it's mentioned that it's "Child birth" .. beforehand???
Anyways realising before the scene and also letting others realise even before they react .. especially to those few very important scenes of the entire show..is just wrong 😅
cersei is a monster, but she is a good mother, she loves her children more than anything and will sacrifice anything for them
Knowing that this amazing episode was coming at the end of the season, I had really hoped that your custom season cocktail was going to be a "Light of the Seven"... nice and green with creme de menthe. 😁🍸
I was going to do something like that but I didn’t want to tip off the noodler!!
I’ve been waiting on this one!
🥰
13:18 that lil shimmy with the smile is everything lol
I also did not feel ready to move on after the Tommen's scene. It was heartbreaking. One of the best episodes of on tv ever, for sure.
See Toman broken hearing the news, but still he cannot go against his mother.. so nothing left for him.. he decided to put his torment once in for all.. RIP Toman wise but he lacks courage always.
I can't wait for them to get to the final season and collectively throw up on camera 😂
The standout of this episode, was Queen Cersei or the House Lannister. She dropped her husbands name and 9/11’ed Kings Landing to take power. She became my favorite character after this episode…. 😂😂😂😂
Best episode of the season ❤
*series
38:52, 'called it', and spoilt of every everybody else - you're that person.
The best piece of music - it went straight on my playlist.
I think it is "iffy" at best that in the story that has been set up that Cersei would be allowed to sit the Iron Throne, however this is the story they are choosing to tell: Cersei is Queen not because of inheritance but because there was no one strong enough to deny her ascension. Its not really by conquest, but it is a sort of conquest (sort of maybe).
The people of Kings Langing would not accept Cersei as Queen!! After she destroyed the Sept of Balor and killed the High Sparrow who championed the poor !!
