When you two asked us what was our favorite scene, Lady Tyrell's confession about killing Geoffrey is in my top 5. That "I want Cersei to know it was me" makes me smile every time. But I didn't want to spoil it. Loved your reaction to the reveal.
It’s the desperation in her voice when she asks “why did u do that” almost a slip for cersei showing weakness and she catches herself when she says “doesn’t matter” just brilliant
I like how in this episode you can see Little Finger doing everything possible to make himself (and his counsel) a necessity for Sansa and she just shoots him down at every turn bc she’s a helluva lot smarter than he is 😂
@@shytguyor maybe you're just seeing the behind the scene machinations he does to manipulate people and not the end result. Sounds like you just want Littlefinger to be some omniscient god or something who's never foiled and never fails. Luckily the writers wrote a better story than that.
@@pieceofdebri said no one. You think I’m rooting for littlefinger and want him to be infallible?No. I just wanted him to get outsmarted in an intricate and interesting way and not the dumbed down way the “writers” came up with since they had zero source material to base it on. How can you say they wrote a good story for littlefinger in season 7? I guess that’s your opinion, but everything he did this season as far as Arya and Sansa was so convoluted and weak. And all the people that littlefinger buys off or threatens hanging things over their head, he just weakly gets betrayed and dies with no one defending him? This is a guy who supposedly thinks far ahead. He would have some protectors there who he pays well for protection. It was just a dumb send off in my opinion.
@@sariel8406 Although you're not wrong, it still was Cersei who ordered Jaime to kill Olenna. So regardless of the method he uses to fulfill that order, it's ultimately Cersei who is responsible for causing her death and thus technically the one who poisoned her.
It's also foresight to her personality change throughout the show. The more tough choices she has to make and the more she loses because of them, the more her heart and mind turns black.
@@raistlinmcfly7535 she had already started to change and had already lost a lot. Saying spoiler alert is what lets people in that there's more coming. I thought I was vague enough.
"I've done my part. I've brought Ice and Fire together." The books are called "A song of ice and fire" after all. So that's a good line. Good scene overall.
Danaerys' biggest mistake was naming Tyrion the hand. Not that he isn't intelligent, it's just that Cersie and Jamie know him too well. Knows how he thinks and it shows.
Daario Naharis could have been a good choice. He knows how to win without scruples. Disadvantage: He doesn´t know Westeros. Other ideas for a better Hand?
@@kidgforce1 Honestly, she probably didn't need one yet. She was doing just fine with advisors. Listening to multiple opinions and then making her own decisions. That seems to change once Tyrion takes over.
The stone walkway Dragonstone is a real place on the northern coast of Spain; I took a bus tour from Bilbao to visit the site last September. The walkway connects the mainland to an island at the top of which is a sanctuary: San Juan of Gaztelugatxe Gaztelugatxeko San Juan ermita. The walk down is not hard, but the ascent back the top is brutal if you're out of shape and it's a hot day. The producers and their editors did an amazing job using CGI to make the background in this fantasy world. You'll see the same location in HotD.
That's kinda average. Have you seen the size of the teenagers these days? By the time they're all adults, 6 foot will be considered kinda small. It's already nothing special. Being 6 foot used to be a big deal. It ain't anymore. And the camera angles don't help. He looks shorter than Ned in most shots
Storied career for Diana Rigg, from Avenger and Bond girl to Lady Olenna and many other roles in Film and TV. Her scene at the end of this episode is one of the great ones.
Years ago when I first watched the first episode of Game of Thrones for some reason I could not get into it But then I sat down and forced myself to rewatch the episode and I slowly started getting into the show and the rest was history I literally cried when the last episode ended Lol. Just subscribed so I can get down with House of Dragons with you guys!
As a reader of the books my favorite characters were Arya Stark (named my first puppy after her) and The Hound. My least favorite character was Daenerys Targaryen. By the end of the tv show those choices stayed the same. The tv show did a great job portraying them all how I saw them in my head.
I just wish we didnt knew about Olenna´s envolvemnt in joffreys death. Because this confrontation would had more impact to everyone. Still is amazing scene where she drop the F bomb on Cersei's Lap. Its funny how Cersei trying to destroy the Tyrells, she basically destroyed her own house in the process. None of the Tyrells suffer under cersei's hand. They died quick and painless.
Jon was right Roberts rebellion dissolved any oaths The North, The Veil, The Riverlands or The Stormlands had with The Targaryens which is something Davos would have pointed out had the writers cared.
I genuinely don't understand what Theo was supposed to do when Euron had a knife to his sister's throat. Any movement towards them surely would've resulted in Euron slicing Yara's throat. He could only move away from them, which everyone calls fleeing for some reason.
Think about it like this just because he ran away doesn’t mean he’s not going to cut his sister‘s throat what he owes his sister is to make sure that she knows that he was willing to fight for her like she was for him. Even if it was a suicide mission. Cause in real life he would have just killed her. The last thing she ever saw was Dion running away and not Dion running for her. That’s how she would’ve met her death.
Someone may have said it, but if you didn't know, the book series this is based off of is called "A Song of Ice and Fire". You may now be realizing who the real main characters are in this story...Jon and Dany...Ice and Fire.
Pretty much all the younger actors got start with GoT. Maybe one or two had done a commercial, or a local play, but not much. They are fantastic actors, especially in this genre, which is very difficult to be believable, and not come off as cheesy, if you know what I mean.😊
When I watch this episode, I’m constantly turning its name “The Queen’s Justice” in my mind. And I think the writers play into this for every scene. But first, let’s talk about the Hand of the Queen. Tyrion shines in the episode because he demonstrates his strength in negotiations. Whether it’s barbarians in the Vale, slavers at sea, or two stubborn monarchs at an impasse, he’s constantly asking the question, “what do you want?” He never stops looking for ways to build bridges and finding ways to align goals. He differs from Littlefinger here because he invites collaboration between parties. The barbarians got their steel from Tywin; Tywin got to use them as a vanguard against Robb Stark’s army. After Jon Snow’s first audience with Daenerys goes sideways, Tyrion sounds him out, looking for something, anything, that the dragon queen could offer him to show a measure of good faith. (He did something similar for Catelyn Stark when he sent Littlefinger to her with Ned’s remains to negotiate for Jaime’s release.) What a coincidence that Dragonstone was built on a mountain of dragon glass. The episode begs the question what is the Queen’s Justice? It seems to ask the characters (and us in turn) this question. For Cersei, it’s about revenge, power, tyranny. Punishing your enemies in the cruelest way possible for slights both real and imagined. Show no mercy, because none will be shown to you. We see this in the way she takes revenge on Ellaria Sand and her daughter after their capture. It’s also demonstrated in the Lannister’s sacking of Highgarden and the execution of Olenna Tyrell. For Olenna, the Queen of Thorns herself, it’s about avenging the death of her House. She waited until after taking the poison from Jaime to confess she arranged Joffrey’s murder, just to twist the knife (and also to throw Cersei off-balance, no doubt). For Sansa, it’s about protecting the North, her people, her home. And also her refusal to be the vehicle for Littlefinger’s ascension to the Iron Throne. Ever since taking back Winterfell, she’s been constantly fighting back against his machinations. Plotting Jon’s coronation as King of the North, openly protesting against his departure, trying to get Bran to take over as Lord of Winterfell. Anything to keep her from being used again while also trying to do the same for her family and home. No doubt she’ll become as fearsome as the Queen of Thorns once was, governing from out of the spotlight in her old age, too. Dany is finding out meaningful justice from a queen is more complicated than declaring a birthright and issuing stern edicts enforced by the threat of force (and dragon fire). She’s learning through Tyrion effective governance is a two-way street. If she wants her subjects to listen and trust her, she’s going to have to extend to them the same courtesy.
9:22 Ned DID know that and that was what caused him to leave and go back to Winterfell because he didn't agree with Tywin's order of the murder of Prince Rhaegar's children and gave away his position as Hand of the King when he found out Robert wanted to kill her when he found out she was pregnant. 11:40 Sansa was right. Dany is ghee to claim the 7 kingdoms and considers The North one of those kingdoms. 39:06 There's a great T-shirt from the GoT merch with Olenna saying "It Was Me". One of my favorites!
I believe the reason Sam succeeded where experienced healers failed is humility. He followed the meticulous instructions to the letter. The others who tried had ego and hubris behind them, they would have modified the procedure, ignored some of the cautionary instructions and infected themselves as a result. Sam never believed himself an expert or to know better than one.
Lady Olenna lost, but she lost like a real boss taking one last swing at Cersei. Cersei is stacking up some wins of vengeance, also like a real boss. Cersei & Jamie knew Casterly Rock was no longer valuable. They used that knowledge to their advantage, and took Highgarden. Poor Tyrion had no idea Casterly Rock had run dry of gold years ago.
Dany is not afraid of them using the dragonglass weapons against her people they are essentially useless against regular swords as the would basically shatter on contact although if she really knew her history she knows they could always make dragonglass candles too which could be more useful than any weapon unfortunately the show doesn't get into all the different magic stuff at play like the books
The Octobers: "Sansa doesn't have any ambition for power" Sansa in season 1 episode 1: "I want to marry the King and be Queen" obviously things have change in the life of Sansa but she seems to have some skills, which were shown when walking around asking questions and solving problems.
Daenerys "forgive me for my father's crimes, but I still demand his throne as inheritance" Targaryen. She changes dramatically when she arrives in Westeros, but it's surprisingly hard to notice.
Lady Dianna Riggs back in the day (the swinging 60s in London) was a sex symbol. A gorgeous, sassy woman. She was in a James Bond rip off called The Avengers .
But why are you shocked? We already knew lady olenna and littlefinger killed joffrey in season 5 episode 7..*promise you, Lord Baelish, that our fates are joined. Together we murdered a king. If my house should fall, I will have nothing to hide. And if I should meet with some accident here at your broken little flesh market, they'll never even find what's left of you*
Tyrion said it's dreary (gloomy, dismal) in the North, and they tell fanciful tales as a result. Neither Tyrion nor Daenerys know Jon actually died and was brought back to life.
If you want your words to be worthy of quoting, or your actions worthy of recording, say and do different things. Or don’t. Most of the people that do, aren’t very nice. The world tends to reward greed, lies, and evil by remembering them. Even the supposed good ones like Mother Theresa surrounded herself with the sick and dying because she thought being near suffering was an act of holiness, and the places she built were less centers of healing, than places for the dying to die. For me, trying to touch the lives of those I meet and making the world better than I found it, is a lofty enough goal, I one day hope to realize. Peace.
People keep putting things on Cersei that aren't her doing. Sansa called her the woman that killed her mother, father and brother. Cersei did none of those things. She wasn't even responsible for it happening. Jon said, to paraphrase, that someone shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of their father. Cersei, Tywin.
That said, she took credit killing her husband King Robert. She does share some responsibility for Ned’s death, too. Joffrey took many of his bad cues from her bad advice, and when the opportunity presented itself, Joffrey didn’t hesitate in the slightest before ordering his execution. It’s probably worth mentioning that I don’t think Sansa blames Cersei personally for everything, but as the ruling head of House Lannister she bears responsibility for Ned’s, Catelyn’s, and Robb’s deaths.
Cersei didnt had the direct hand on it, but she instigated every possible way she could. Plus, while some males that were never blamed, or they hide their clues, like Tywin in red wedding, or they were just trying to conquer the throne like Stannis. Nowhere in the process both examples enjoying torturing or even having pleasure in others suffering. Not only Cersei never hide her moves, she took pleasure seeing others in such bad positions, and having the superiority feeling above her victims. Tywin and Stannis were never true villains. Cersei was and she was born as a man, she would be like Ramsay or Joffrey...
Oh man did i have mixed emotions about this. Did Ellaria deserve the revenge from Cersi for killing Mycella .. Yes .. but killing her daughter 🫤 and also I don’t want Cersi to win at anything. So conflicted.
@Liz33991 I know, I dislike immensely when Cersei wins. I thought about before, Elaria's Daughter's were far far far from innocent. Not an innocent sweet girl like Myrcella
Tyrion's knowledge of the sewage system doesnt help them because the Lannister Army has already left. In this regards Jaime is one up against Tyrion and beaten Tyrion. Tyrion think heis very smart but in fact all his strategies have failed.
I hate Sansa and always will but Bran saying she looked beautiful in her wedding dress and alluding to what happened to her was a supreme creeper moment😓
Now that you're on season 8... which revenge of the series do you like the most? Things are close (for me) between Arya and Cercei because one has killed many hateful characters but Cercei's revenge is... I love her cruelty in this chapter. and blow up the septa... the septa and the mountain... although Arya's are epic. my favorite revenge is little finger's and frey ❤❤❤❤ RIP lady Olena one of the best characters in the series. Every appearance of his has been pure gold. thanks for killing joffrey 😂

Olenna's truth bomb to Jamie was such an awesome moment and way to go out after everything the Lanisters did to her family.
I feel like we don't talk enough about how good the actors are to make all of this feel like something. RIP Dianna Rigg, a queen that never reigned

RIP Dianna Rigg. Look her up from the avengers show she was in in the 60s. She really looks like her show granddaughter Margaery(Natalie Dormer)
A magnificent performance by the late Diana Rigg (Lady Olena). One of my favorite scenes in the entire series.
And Diana was "Queen of Sin" in her heyday back in "The Avengers" of 1965.
When Cersei says “you murdered my only daughter…why did you do that?” CHILLS EVERY TIME. Gods, that woman can act her ass off!
It’s the desperation in her voice when she asks “why did u do that” almost a slip for cersei showing weakness and she catches herself when she says “doesn’t matter” just brilliant
Lady Olenna for the win!

This episode was so good! Lena (Cersei) was robbed of an Emmy!!!
A wonderful moment when Sam reached out to shake Jorah's hand to signify & confirm that Jorah was safe in physical contact.
If you actually go back to where Joffrey was killed, you can see Olenna take the poison from Sansa’s necklace
S4 E2 (The Lion and the Rose) even the title provides the hint.
Remember, Ser Davos threatened to execute Melisandre if he ever saw her again....
Imagine Davos cutting down Melisandre soon as he comes off the boat🤣 that would of been hilarious
What Bran explained about being the 3-eyed raven is just the same what Littlefinger told about his strategy: see everything at once!
I’ve seen this so many times and never caught that!
“Chaos is a ladder.”
You two are the Dream Team of reactors. What one of you doesn't catch the other does.

Y'all should watch Breaking Bad since y'all into watching the best shows ever made.
If I don’t except my fate like Lady Olenna then I won’t except it

W intro!! W reaction!! W synopsis!!🥶
The actress that played Olenna Tyrell passed away after this.
Oysters, clams & cockles!
said 'No-one'...
I’m going to keep screaming VIKINGS VIKINGS VIKINGS VIKINGS VIKINGS please!!!!!
BOSS death
"Like Khabib and his boys" is CRAZY! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only MMA fans will understand how funny that is. I wish I could post pictures in YT comments.
Next episode is fire!
42:36 it’s a big elephant talking a lot of sh)t lol
But why are you shocked? We already knew lady olenna and littlefinger killed joffrey in season 5 episode 7..*promise you, Lord Baelish, that our fates are joined. Together we murdered a king. If my house should fall, I will have nothing to hide. And if I should meet with some accident here at your broken little flesh market, they'll never even find what's left of you*
Next episode is one of my favorites!!!!
lol "it's actually all connected bro.." could also be Salvia!
Olena isnt called the Queen of Thorns for nothing
fun fact : euron and jaime are best friends in real life :)
Tyrion said it's dreary (gloomy, dismal) in the North, and they tell fanciful tales as a result. Neither Tyrion nor Daenerys know Jon actually died and was brought back to life.
Check out movie On Her Majesty's Service a 007 movie for Olenna Tyrell when she was young or IMDB Diana Rigg
Sam is great at RTFM.
Tyrion killed Davos's son.
My friend stop and think about this- this very platform is a archive for future generations 🤔🤔🤔 you are in history my friend 🤘🤘🇺🇸🤠 41:22
They'll remember you. The Internet is forever.
I find it stupid that the Lannisters just walked into Highgarden and took it in a blink. no siege. It's one of the largest fortressed in Westeros.
If you want your words to be worthy of quoting, or your actions worthy of recording, say and do different things.
Or don’t. Most of the people that do, aren’t very nice.
The world tends to reward greed, lies, and evil by remembering them. Even the supposed good ones like Mother Theresa surrounded herself with the sick and dying because she thought being near suffering was an act of holiness, and the places she built were less centers of healing, than places for the dying to die.
For me, trying to touch the lives of those I meet and making the world better than I found it, is a lofty enough goal, I one day hope to realize.
Peace.
People keep putting things on Cersei that aren't her doing. Sansa called her the woman that killed her mother, father and brother. Cersei did none of those things. She wasn't even responsible for it happening. Jon said, to paraphrase, that someone shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of their father. Cersei, Tywin.
Exactly..... and they never blame male villains like stannis, tywin for something they directly do
That said, she took credit killing her husband King Robert. She does share some responsibility for Ned’s death, too. Joffrey took many of his bad cues from her bad advice, and when the opportunity presented itself, Joffrey didn’t hesitate in the slightest before ordering his execution.
It’s probably worth mentioning that I don’t think Sansa blames Cersei personally for everything, but as the ruling head of House Lannister she bears responsibility for Ned’s, Catelyn’s, and Robb’s deaths.
Cersei didnt had the direct hand on it, but she instigated every possible way she could. Plus, while some males that were never blamed, or they hide their clues, like Tywin in red wedding, or they were just trying to conquer the throne like Stannis. Nowhere in the process both examples enjoying torturing or even having pleasure in others suffering. Not only Cersei never hide her moves, she took pleasure seeing others in such bad positions, and having the superiority feeling above her victims. Tywin and Stannis were never true villains. Cersei was and she was born as a man, she would be like Ramsay or Joffrey...
I'm with Cersei on that revenge. Don't mess with my Babies.
Oh man did i have mixed emotions about this. Did Ellaria deserve the revenge from Cersi for killing Mycella .. Yes .. but killing her daughter 🫤 and also I don’t want Cersi to win at anything. So conflicted.
@Liz33991 I know, I dislike immensely when Cersei wins. I thought about before, Elaria's Daughter's were far far far from innocent. Not an innocent sweet girl like Myrcella
Cersei was an evil bitch long before any of her children died.
I predict 4...or 5.....5 more cries from Mrs October 😊
HotD is going to be such a fun watch
when is Shang-Chi comin' to youtube ?
Varys doesn't like Mel because his parts were a sacrifice to the lord of light when he was a child
Not a spoiler but look up how many episodes of GOT and how many of those episodes are Tyrion in 🤔🤔🤔 the answer will surprise you
Tyrion's knowledge of the sewage system doesnt help them because the Lannister Army has already left. In this regards Jaime is one up against Tyrion and beaten Tyrion. Tyrion think heis very smart but in fact all his strategies have failed.
I hate Sansa and always will but Bran saying she looked beautiful in her wedding dress and alluding to what happened to her was a supreme creeper moment😓
don't forget to get headphones for you 2 when you react to House of the Dragon.
Now that you're on season 8... which revenge of the series do you like the most? Things are close (for me) between Arya and Cercei because one has killed many hateful characters but Cercei's revenge is... I love her cruelty in this chapter. and blow up the septa... the septa and the mountain... although Arya's are epic. my favorite revenge is little finger's and frey ❤❤❤❤ RIP lady Olena one of the best characters in the series. Every appearance of his has been pure gold. thanks for killing joffrey 😂
Speaking of the Legend of Gin Alley, if you need a movie recommendation perhaps ya'll could check out Pacific Rim.
You good bro if you need to go back or pause to get an understanding
Are you guys gonna react to house of the dragon? Love your reactions!
