George Martin held onto the Hodor plot for TWENTY YEARS Without anyone having even a clue. The first Game of Thrones book came out in 96, this episode aired in 2016
The entirety of Westeros hates Wildings. Randyl Tarly (Samwells father) having a negative opinion on wildlings isn’t something odd. The only news they hear of Wildlings is when they come south to raid, rape and plunder. Westerosi people have a good reason to dislike the free folk but of course xenophobia plays a role too.
@@Golladanyou know that small groups of wildling’s all the time go throw the wall. Some times they can go south, and even if they never saw one, they grown up listening the histories about them, so they don’t like then on south of the wall. But normally the north that deal more if wildlings
I understand not being focused on Meera, but she is a badass! And her father Howland Reed is the one who helped Ned kill Arthur Dayne in that vision of Bran's
The children weren’t really an “enemy”. Just defending their land, Gods, and Weirwoods. The children of the forest made the white walkers to battle the first men incursion in Westeros. They simply bit off more than they can chew and they got out of control. So the children and the first men (of the north) put down their beef and banded together to battle the white walkers in the battle for the dawn.
Margaery is only trying to save herself and her brother. She and Tommen were unaware the Tyrells and Lannisters were planning to come help, so they made an alliance with the High Sparrow.... guess that's what happens when you leave the King out of the loop on major decisions.
It's also a pretty easy loyalty slide for her. She even mentions the part about how she made herself visible when attending to the poor in King's Landing...and what did we see the High Sparrow doing when he was introduced? Feeding the poor and having given away his shoes. The Sparrows have good clout with the commonfolk, especially compared to the Lannister regime with Joffrey and Cersei (and Tyrion, mostly due to reputation and bad press pinned on him and his outburst at his trial). Margaery knows this, knows the power of the support and love from the masses...and she knows Tommen and his good nature and naivete. So she gets to go free in a way that spares her from Cersei's punishment, has her come out looking the better for it (and affirming her already popular persona as a queen of the people), and she sways Tommen firmly to her side both against her mother and as extra sway to help absolve Loras with his status as king? It's simply the winning play, and her family can just chill, let the Lannister half of any aggression take the blame, and if need be, bide their time for any countermeasure against the Faith. And until then, consolidate positive presence at court for the Tyrells and while having the Faith's new presence push out the Lannister's while still keeping them in check with Tommen as a pseudo-puppet regent.
I agree. Margaery is doing what she has learned to do all her life: maneuver to save or promote herself and her family. In Westeros, that's what noblewomen have to do, and she has been effective at it. But yes, she was busy zigging, when Jaime and Olenna were zagging. As a result, it's the High Sparrow who came out with the political win. Tommen, however, is something more like a true believer. And who can blame him? He's young, his parents have largely abandoned him, and he needs a way to establish his own authority. The High Sparrow offered an alliance, and he took it wholeheartedly.
A year later after finishing this series and I remain so impressed with Margaery. Her ability to persuade leaders who have a dozen other people in their ear and family they trust but they just can’t help but listen to her… with no dragons, no fighting skills and no lord of light … a phenomenal player
5:00 Meera killed the White Walker with dragonglass that Sam gave her, when he and Gilly met Bran, Hodor, Summer, Jojen and Meera back in S03E10. Sam told them he'd killed a White Walker and handed shards of dragonglass to Meera, saying "For the archer". Sam had multiple pieces of dragonglass from the stash he and his Nights Watch brothers found at the Fists of the First Men back in Season 2.

Hodor is played by Northern Irish actor Kristian Nairn, who is also a DJ and has hosted many Game of Thrones themed raves over the years. He is also in the comedy series 'Our Flag Means Death', which is a fantastic show. He is hilarious in it. I highly recommend it.
Willis or as we all know hodor. Was a victim of brans destiny. Bran entered his mind from the past connecting his past self to his future self. As he lay there repeating hodor he experienced his own death in the future. The experience was so intense it left an imprint. Hold the door hold the door ho da door Hoda door hodor hodor. Living ever day with his dying task firmly planted in his head.
@@fived9424 explain what?? What happened to Willis was illogical...so I don't have to break it down logically coz how can you logically explain magic hahaha
@@tyroneloki5131 Your assessment is correct here. This is basically what is known as a "Bootstrap Paradox": Information from an event that takes place in the future was sent back to the past; that information allowed knowledge of the future event, which was then acted upon in ways that would help to eventually bring about that same future event. In short, the future event (which is an EFFECT) became its own CAUSE.
I have always been amazed with actors that can give a whole speech, with passion, in a completely made up language and nail it. How do you remember all that?!? Danys done it a few times. Top tier was definately Drogo, when he found out abt the poisoner and promised danys son would sit on the iron throne. Its a scene worth rewatching. Momoa absolutely killed it. Probably the best acting scene of his career.
Reciting a speech in a foreign language is easier than learning the language. You just need to remember how to pronounce those words. I can sing some Kpop and Spanish songs. I don't know any Korean and my Spanish is mostly limited to conversational. This is something you'll see often in non-English speaking countries. Singers that don't speak English can sing tons of English songs since they are so popular.
@@krayzy932 Singing songs in a language you don't know is impressive and props to you because that's no small achievement but songs are easier to remember because of the rhythm and repetition. That's the reason almost every human alive still remembers the words to nursery rhymes we learned or songs that were sung to us as small children or why a small child can remember words to nursery rhymes but wouldn't be able to remember anything from a script. Our brains remember the rhythm and repetition and the words become sounds that fit into that rhythm and repetition, whether it's in English or anything else. This is why singing songs is such a fundamental part of teaching young children. Learning lines for a script that you will have to forget in a few days so you can learn lines for your next script isn't the same because there no distinct rhythm or repetition and there's no consistency of hearing the song over and over for as long as you want. Plus she does speeches in Dothraki, High Valyrian, Astapori Valyrian and has to remember all her English lines too so it's a pretty big deal how she's able to do each one and deliver it so well every time. It is truly amazing that people sing songs in English (or any language) without actually knowing how to speak it, but that's the point...They might be able to sing it but they can't *speak* the language. But if you can speak a language you can definitely sing a song in it. If speaking a language was as easy as singing it, people would be able to speak all the words to the foreign songs they know in conversation.
I know several people have already basically said it, but to maybe say it even a tiny bit more to the point: The really disturbing implication of the whole Hodor thing is that we have to assume that he's either been carrying the knowledge of where, when and how exactly he was gonna die with him whole life or, if he's repressed that memory, it's still bad enough that not only that's what caused him to loose his ability to speak and overall turn "simple-minded", but the thing he kept saying which on top of that became his name, basically was a constant dark prophecy foretelling his death and its circumstances; That's GRRM for you, turning what seemed a harmless "running gag" about that one character just saying his gibberish word of a name into THAT...
Cersai made 2 big mistakes, one was bringing the Sparrows into power to begin with and the other was not informing Tommen of the plan to stop the Walk of Atonement. Margery converted Tommen because she knew it was the only way to stop her own walk of atonement and hopefully free Loris. Had she known that Olenna was going to destroy the faith militant she would've waited. You can actually see it on her face when Olenna steps out of the carriage. She realizes she messed up, but she didn't know.
Varys supporting and trying to kill Daeny doesn't make sense, that's right, Spartan really has a point here. They changed stuff from the books, that's why we have this problem
Yeah it’s a shame. Also supporting the realm, but wanting to send dothraki to pillage it. Only makes sense if it’s done to somehow make fAegon look good
"...even if when what he's doing it's bad?" I have this sentence always in mind, no matter how much u support someone, believing in what he/she is doing, if this person starts doing bad things, u have the right to change ur mind, in order to be truth to urself, it didn't mean u haven't chose a part, it means we have respect our true nature. Varis is always clear about who he is serving, no queens or kings, no gods, he is serving and being loyal to those who can't chose but had to take all the casualties.
About Meera's killing of one of the White Walker lieutenants: when Bran, Meera, Jojen and Hodor meet with Sam, Gilly and Little Sam at the NightFort, they talk about how Sam managed to kill a White Walker using dragonglass. "But nobody's killed a White Walker in a thousand years" says Meera. "I suppose somebody had to be the first" answers Sam. When they depart, Sam gives them the remaining stash of dragonglass weapons that he had found at the Fist of the First Men, saying "I hope you don't need them." After they reach the Three Eyed Raven, there's just a lot of waiting around for Meera, who spends a lot of her time making spear points out of the dragonglass tips. It is one of these spears that she uses to kill the White Walker when they attack them. It is understandable that you missed it since these scenes are just little nuggets of information spread over many episodes.
Stuff I look forward to every week: -Ted Lasso on Wednesdays -My team's football game on Sat/Sunday -Spartan & Pudgey's uploads I don't know your production budget but I'm pretty sure the $ spent/entertainment ratio is highest with you guys. Great stuff.
But if Olaina and Little Finger hadn't killed Joffrey, none of this would have happened. Cersei's a major b*tch but Tywin kept her in check and would have found a way to control Joffrey
I think when Arya was talking to the Cersei actress about Cersei's grief at Joffrey's death, she starts to realise that in their anger and grief she and Cersei are really not so different. Who gets more satisfaction from dealing out revenge- Cersei or Arya?
I'd say both. Especially by later episodes. Don't wanna spoil anything for Spartan and Pudgy, but if you've seen the show, you likely know what I'm referring to with both of them.
Arya is nothing like cersei. She is def a good person who doesn’t kill mindlessly. She is just strong and capable of doing things and she does the best revenge since we don’t want to spoil things. It’s a very good political decision too. Just because she can kill doesn’t mean that she is a psycho like Cersei. That’s so misogynistic, because all the men in the show kill people who have hurted them or their family’s/lords/kings/ whatever it is.
I just want to say how much I appreciate and enjoy y'all's reactions to GoT. I get pretty revved up when I see that a new one has dropped. Thanks, y'all!
Pudgey is actually SO good a predicting its crazy. I honestly resonated a lot more with Spartan when I started watching this channel but pudgey grew on me so much and I truly love her. I cannot believe she predicted gilly would steal the sword! Just wow!
When you guys questioned Varys and said you felt like you were missing something with his story, that is because in fact you are. There is a storyline in the books that the show runners decided to abandon.
About Hodor. A couple Episodes back they gave us the very 1st flashback where we learned that hodor's name is Willis and that he could talk. When bran woke up from that vision. He was excited because he heard hodor talk and he asks hodor right then what happened to him. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but upon the revelation of what happened to hodor My mind instantly snapped back to that scene. Because if you listen to it I swear to God you can clearly hear in the tone of hodor's voice when he answers brans question.... Bran: "You could talk! What happened to you?" Hodor:"............You did."
According to the lore there are 227 Valerian steel swords in Westeros. Many of the major and minor houses have a family sword. The Lannisters used to have a Valerian sword but it was lost on an expedition to old Valeria several generations before. The Lannisters sent people to try and recover it but if I remember right no one returned. Tywin tried to use his families immense wealth to buy a sword but of course each family considered their Valerian swords precious and priceless and no one would sell him one. That’s why him melting down Ice into two swords was so important, they finally had a Valerian sword in the family again.
The Varys storyline is messed up in the show partly because there are characters that are missing from the books. In someways the Stark storyline is even messed up. What happened to the leader of the Brotherhood without Banners?
It's not explained, but my speculation is that the man who's shown in the vision being turned into a White Walker is the Night King, the first White Walker. His hatred toward the world is an unintended consequence of having this done to him by the Children of the Forest.
Remember when Ned asked Varys “Who do you serve?” And he answered “The realm my lord, someone has to”. I think he’s helping the one who he thinks is the best choice to sit on the throne. By the time he was against Daeny, he knew that there are better choices than a her like: Ned, Renly, Stannis… etc so that’s why he tried to somehow poison her. After king Robert died and all the drama that happened between the lannisters and the starks and Joffrey suck at being king, he changed his mind cuz he knew he’s not the leader the people want. Then the idea of “maybe daeny is a good leader since she got power, army and all that in a short amount of time, why not meeting her and see who she’s?”
@@hokagedlo6133 Go read the books again, then you’ll have a better understanding of his character. He’s never been a snake. And for each stupid decisions the mad king did, he advised him not to do but the mad king was doing what he liked without paying attention for what Varys were saying.
@@CarloRodriguez10 have you read the books. Because it sure doesn't seem so.... He's even more traitorous in Asoif he is equally as bad as Little Finger
If I were a medieval knight I would use a flaming mace like Benjen, or maybe a hammer. 💪 Meera was quite busy as the protector on the way north, but once inside the cave her role became lessened and she was frustrated; she couldn't see the next part of the journey (a blessing) and had no way of seeing the future like everyone around her (Hodor knew, Jorjen knew, The Children knew, Bran was learning, the 3-eyed Raven already knew...).
I think Bran had warged Hodor while he was in the past watching Hodor, and something caused young Honor to experience it. The first time I saw that scene I thought it was super sad. GRRM is an amazing writer, that truly knows how to break your heart. Mira threw a spear with a dragon glass tip, and thats what killed him. I believe.
Bran warred into Hordor in the present in the cave but Bran was also in the past so it bridged the gap of time in Hodors mind. Hodor saw the Army of the undead and his death and it broke his mind when he was young. When the dead are attacking in the cave you see Hodor start to rock and panic because he knows it’s the end.
It’s good writing to an extent with the Hodor character but it also potentially ruins the story as time travel is just so OP. What’s to stop a future evil warg figure going back in time to kill Hodor before that?
22:23 Westeros is a ptriarachal society and Sam grew up with a very abusive father. There is no way that his mother would dare to talk back like that. The family dynamic makes no sense. I reckon it won't be like this in the books.
@@changingmind2522 Indeed. The thing that I was simply poiting out is that in family where the father is the authority and abusive to his children, it is unlikely that the wife woudl feel comfortable talking back and calling out her husband for his abuse. This isn't a reading I figured myself. I read women who watch the show point it out.
@@Mic-Mak I’ve never heard a woman say this personally, but I’ll believe you. Sure, there are plenty of women that would cower down at men like this (i don’t mean this in a negative way at all), but there are plenty that would be the opposite because they’re fed up. So truly, it depends on the individual. In this circumstance (from the very little that we’re given): Sam’s father is very harsh to his oldest son, but still shows admiration for his wife, so it makes sense that she feels she can speak up to him.
47:53 I cracked up They did the direwolves so dirty in this show :( I agree, the White Walker threat makes all the politics seem so petty. When I watched The Door, I never thought Hodor chose to hold the door. My read was that Bran warged into him and made him prop up the door, and then when he stop warging, Hodor came back to himself into a terrifying situation where if he moved away, he'd be swarmed. I remember being livid at Bran and Meera for abandoning him. I wish I could see it differently but that was my experience. Comparing the Children of the Forest to Cersei is pretty harsh; she was protecting herself where as the Children were literally facing extinction. Plus, there's no way they could've predicted the future of the White Walkers. Way more understandable and sympathetic.
Personally I don't believe I've word the high sparrow says. Like everyone else, he's after power. Margarie didn't walk bc she's attoned. She got off bc she had something to offer, more power.
Damn I'm disappointed how Jaime dropped so fast in their love/like list. Although I must admit the writers of the show didn't give Jaime that much cool stuff to do since his return to King's Landing. But personally the moment the moment Jaime had the bath scene with Brienne, he became my soul brother lol and he stayed my favorite forever. BTW as far as what Gilly said to Randyl about Sam being "a greater warrior than you'll ever be" well he is a jerk but Randyl was the only man who defeated Robert Baratheon in battle. Stannis said as much to Sam at Castleblack, remember?
Can we get a haircare routine, Pudgey? :) Just joking, I'm curlyheaded, but your hair looks so healthy and fabulous every episode! Cannot wait to dig in!
In sci fi its called "closed loop" time travel. Spartan was spot on. It is one of the saddest things of Game of Throne. Bran disabled Hordor to serve him (tho unknowingly.) The actor who plays Hordor says that he knows Hordor loved Bran and forgave him.
I dislike Sam taking an Ancient Valyrian steel sword and not having any repercussions for it. You’re telling me that the lord of a powerful house, Randyll Tarly who has said he would kill his son for not living upto expectations, doesn’t go after his son for stealing the ancient sword of his house? “He can bloody well try” bro Sam you know what your father would kill you Gilly and the baby if he caught you and you know he can do it easily. Why even bother you’re not even a fighter. You can tell the writing has taken a hit by this point.
The White Walkers are basically Agent Smith from the Matrix franchise. Created as an antibody to the virus (i.e. humans) and ended up becoming an aggressive cancer.
Drogon will be a lot larger than the other two dragons at this point, as he has been roaming free and eating at will, while the other two are still in captivity - albeit unchained now - and as it has been mentioned before, dragons do not do well in captivity and don't grow large.
@@changingmind2522 LOL they're like "Beavis & Butthead 2023"! I thought it was a spoof channel... still not entirely convinced hat it isn't just satire.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 No, they’re cool dudes who have good opinions on characters. Yes, sometimes they have the wildest guesses, but that’s part of their charm. I personally enjoy them more than S&P, but it’s not like we need to compare.
Spartan did a great job explaining what happened to Hodor. Randall Tarley is a horrible father. He threatened to kill Sam if he didn't join the Night's Watch. Love how Sam is getting stronger all the time. If someone pays the Faceless men they kill that person without judgement. Good call Spartan about the future of Hart's Bane. A little spoilery but I think you guys will like who winds up with that sword.
The mountain is a literal zombie who cannot be stopped unless you chop his head off and burn him probably.... He can definitely win a trial by combat probably easier than he won the last one...
27:40 there’s unsubstantiated fan theories that say that Mace Tyrell isn’t a complete blockhead nor incompetent, only that he pretends to be to protect his lands and family. Not such a bad theory when in this world if you are rich and loyal, you will fail upwards
Not to mention when Dickon changes heads for future seasons he's played by the actor (Tom Hopper), who also plays the werewolf character in The Umbrella Academy.
In reading the comments 5 mos after the fact, it seems that everyone forgot that besides Varys, there were other plotters and schemes after Dany: Robert, Littlefinger, Cersei, even Joffrey, while he was alive and in power.
It just proves that the 3 eyed raven can change things through the past. Makes me want to watch and see if maybe the 3 eyed Raven was the architect of a lot of bad things that caused bran to go to him.
@@itsyoboyb6314 You can't really do that research without spoilers, I know when I watched it for the first time last year I couldn't avoid occasional spoilers when reading around. So I think she's just good with names/makes notes.
Hodor sees his life destiny and it broke him 😢 . Make him to say that his life purpose all his life to everyone and nobody even understands what he means 😭😭

Margaery is only trying to save herself and her brother. She and Tommen were unaware the Tyrells and Lannisters were planning to come help, so they made an alliance with the High Sparrow.... guess that's what happens when you leave the King out of the loop on major decisions.
It's also a pretty easy loyalty slide for her. She even mentions the part about how she made herself visible when attending to the poor in King's Landing...and what did we see the High Sparrow doing when he was introduced? Feeding the poor and having given away his shoes.
The Sparrows have good clout with the commonfolk, especially compared to the Lannister regime with Joffrey and Cersei (and Tyrion, mostly due to reputation and bad press pinned on him and his outburst at his trial). Margaery knows this, knows the power of the support and love from the masses...and she knows Tommen and his good nature and naivete.

Summer was Bran's direwolf. So summer is literally and figuratively dead. As the stark words say "Winter is Coming"
Pudgey is great with names, I didn't even remember Edmure's name.
Yes, Pudgey is great with names. I love that.❤
I love how Meera is dragging Bran through the wilderness while Bran just lays there watching Game of Thrones clips.
5:00 Meera killed the White Walker with dragonglass that Sam gave her, when he and Gilly met Bran, Hodor, Summer, Jojen and Meera back in S03E10. Sam told them he'd killed a White Walker and handed shards of dragonglass to Meera, saying "For the archer". Sam had multiple pieces of dragonglass from the stash he and his Nights Watch brothers found at the Fists of the First Men back in Season 2.
Pudgey cracks me up.. everything the evil characters say she takes personal.. answering them like she's in the room with them 😄😄

It's so easy to tell if someone is acting or not, and Pudgey clearly isn't.
@@piratsnygg if you think she clearly isn’t then clearly it’s not so easy for you to tell, cause she clearly is, a lot. I’m not even talking about when she cries. Go back and watch her performance when Jon dies lol. Like straight out of acting class someone trying to do a dramatic scene. Way over the top.

Hodor is played by Northern Irish actor Kristian Nairn, who is also a DJ and has hosted many Game of Thrones themed raves over the years. He is also in the comedy series 'Our Flag Means Death', which is a fantastic show. He is hilarious in it. I highly recommend it.
He's awesome!
Willis or as we all know hodor. Was a victim of brans destiny. Bran entered his mind from the past connecting his past self to his future self. As he lay there repeating hodor he experienced his own death in the future. The experience was so intense it left an imprint. Hold the door hold the door ho da door Hoda door hodor hodor. Living ever day with his dying task firmly planted in his head.
Time travel is always bs...no explanation needed just accept it as it is lol
@@tyroneloki5131 do you not have a mind of your own to understand it or do you need it spoonfed to you?
@@fived9424 explain what?? What happened to Willis was illogical...so I don't have to break it down logically coz how can you logically explain magic hahaha
@@tyroneloki5131 Your assessment is correct here.
This is basically what is known as a "Bootstrap Paradox":
Information from an event that takes place in the future was sent back to the past; that information allowed knowledge of the future event, which was then acted upon in ways that would help to eventually bring about that same future event.
In short, the future event (which is an EFFECT) became its own CAUSE.
I have always been amazed with actors that can give a whole speech, with passion, in a completely made up language and nail it. How do you remember all that?!? Danys done it a few times. Top tier was definately Drogo, when he found out abt the poisoner and promised danys son would sit on the iron throne. Its a scene worth rewatching. Momoa absolutely killed it. Probably the best acting scene of his career.
Reciting a speech in a foreign language is easier than learning the language. You just need to remember how to pronounce those words. I can sing some Kpop and Spanish songs. I don't know any Korean and my Spanish is mostly limited to conversational. This is something you'll see often in non-English speaking countries. Singers that don't speak English can sing tons of English songs since they are so popular.
@@krayzy932 Singing songs in a language you don't know is impressive and props to you because that's no small achievement but songs are easier to remember because of the rhythm and repetition. That's the reason almost every human alive still remembers the words to nursery rhymes we learned or songs that were sung to us as small children or why a small child can remember words to nursery rhymes but wouldn't be able to remember anything from a script. Our brains remember the rhythm and repetition and the words become sounds that fit into that rhythm and repetition, whether it's in English or anything else. This is why singing songs is such a fundamental part of teaching young children.
Learning lines for a script that you will have to forget in a few days so you can learn lines for your next script isn't the same because there no distinct rhythm or repetition and there's no consistency of hearing the song over and over for as long as you want. Plus she does speeches in Dothraki, High Valyrian, Astapori Valyrian and has to remember all her English lines too so it's a pretty big deal how she's able to do each one and deliver it so well every time. It is truly amazing that people sing songs in English (or any language) without actually knowing how to speak it, but that's the point...They might be able to sing it but they can't *speak* the language. But if you can speak a language you can definitely sing a song in it. If speaking a language was as easy as singing it, people would be able to speak all the words to the foreign songs they know in conversation.
Fun fact; that was Jason Mamoa's audition scene... I guess that's why he got the job lol plus he looks great naked 😜
Notice Margaery still has her hair. The clue that she is not taking the walk of atonement.
I know several people have already basically said it, but to maybe say it even a tiny bit more to the point: The really disturbing implication of the whole Hodor thing is that we have to assume that he's either been carrying the knowledge of where, when and how exactly he was gonna die with him whole life or, if he's repressed that memory, it's still bad enough that not only that's what caused him to loose his ability to speak and overall turn "simple-minded", but the thing he kept saying which on top of that became his name, basically was a constant dark prophecy foretelling his death and its circumstances; That's GRRM for you, turning what seemed a harmless "running gag" about that one character just saying his gibberish word of a name into THAT...
Cersai made 2 big mistakes, one was bringing the Sparrows into power to begin with and the other was not informing Tommen of the plan to stop the Walk of Atonement. Margery converted Tommen because she knew it was the only way to stop her own walk of atonement and hopefully free Loris. Had she known that Olenna was going to destroy the faith militant she would've waited. You can actually see it on her face when Olenna steps out of the carriage. She realizes she messed up, but she didn't know.
"But wasn't Varys organizing the poisoning? Are we missing something?"
Someone kinda forgot
Varys supporting and trying to kill Daeny doesn't make sense, that's right, Spartan really has a point here. They changed stuff from the books, that's why we have this problem
Of course it does, he serves the realm, the needs change.
Yeah it’s a shame. Also supporting the realm, but wanting to send dothraki to pillage it. Only makes sense if it’s done to somehow make fAegon look good
"...even if when what he's doing it's bad?"
I have this sentence always in mind, no matter how much u support someone, believing in what he/she is doing, if this person starts doing bad things, u have the right to change ur mind, in order to be truth to urself, it didn't mean u haven't chose a part, it means we have respect our true nature. Varis is always clear about who he is serving, no queens or kings, no gods, he is serving and being loyal to those who can't chose but had to take all the casualties.
@@dillondargie66 have you ever read the books? I don't want to explain why it's false because that would be a spoiler when you haven't read them
@@dadatosu4702
Yeah, he's serving the realm, but in the books he never supported Daeny like that
Recall that Varys was conspiring in Kings Landing with the noble that was hosting Dany and her brother.
About Meera's killing of one of the White Walker lieutenants: when Bran, Meera, Jojen and Hodor meet with Sam, Gilly and Little Sam at the NightFort, they talk about how Sam managed to kill a White Walker using dragonglass.
"But nobody's killed a White Walker in a thousand years" says Meera.
"I suppose somebody had to be the first" answers Sam.
When they depart, Sam gives them the remaining stash of dragonglass weapons that he had found at the Fist of the First Men, saying "I hope you don't need them."
After they reach the Three Eyed Raven, there's just a lot of waiting around for Meera, who spends a lot of her time making spear points out of the dragonglass tips. It is one of these spears that she uses to kill the White Walker when they attack them.
It is understandable that you missed it since these scenes are just little nuggets of information spread over many episodes.
Stuff I look forward to every week:
-Ted Lasso on Wednesdays
-My team's football game on Sat/Sunday
-Spartan & Pudgey's uploads
I don't know your production budget but I'm pretty sure the $ spent/entertainment ratio is highest with you guys. Great stuff.
Same here
so how are you gonna fill that Ted Lasso void? excellent finale imo
Just watched the finale last night. Also finished After Life on the same night. I have no clue how I'm gonna fill the void. Any recommendations?
fun fact: The sword that Meera takes from the 3 eyed crows cave is Dark Sister
Cersai always blames others, Tyrion, Jamie, Sansa, Margery etc. but she is the maker of the majority of her own misery.
But if Olaina and Little Finger hadn't killed Joffrey, none of this would have happened. Cersei's a major b*tch but Tywin kept her in check and would have found a way to control Joffrey
LMAO @3:27 I thought Spartan farted and Pudgey reacted. hahaha. But Pudgey was actually just tearing up. LOL
Sparrow played the lords. Now he has power from a weak king.
Seeing Dany so powerful is always a win. She's our one true queen, now and always.
I'm so excited for Dany in that scene..... and then I remember Season 8 😅
@@jas7046 , she absolutely is.
I think when Arya was talking to the Cersei actress about Cersei's grief at Joffrey's death, she starts to realise that in their anger and grief she and Cersei are really not so different. Who gets more satisfaction from dealing out revenge- Cersei or Arya?
Good observation and I’m not quite sure
I'd say both. Especially by later episodes. Don't wanna spoil anything for Spartan and Pudgy, but if you've seen the show, you likely know what I'm referring to with both of them.
Arya is nothing like cersei. She is def a good person who doesn’t kill mindlessly. She is just strong and capable of doing things and she does the best revenge since we don’t want to spoil things. It’s a very good political decision too. Just because she can kill doesn’t mean that she is a psycho like Cersei. That’s so misogynistic, because all the men in the show kill people who have hurted them or their family’s/lords/kings/ whatever it is.
Basically Bran has been everywhere in time. Every scene in previews seasons when You hear or see flocks of ravens... Thats Bran watching.
Yes! In the books it's the ravens and also the wind blowing
I just want to say how much I appreciate and enjoy y'all's reactions to GoT. I get pretty revved up when I see that a new one has dropped. Thanks, y'all!
I think Hodor mind was fried at that moment because he saw his death and that moment. He saw his future. Imagine watching that
Pudgey is actually SO good a predicting its crazy. I honestly resonated a lot more with Spartan when I started watching this channel but pudgey grew on me so much and I truly love her. I cannot believe she predicted gilly would steal the sword! Just wow!
When you guys questioned Varys and said you felt like you were missing something with his story, that is because in fact you are. There is a storyline in the books that the show runners decided to abandon.
About Hodor. A couple Episodes back they gave us the very 1st flashback where we learned that hodor's name is Willis and that he could talk.
When bran woke up from that vision. He was excited because he heard hodor talk and he asks hodor right then what happened to him.
I didn't think anything of it at the time, but upon the revelation of what happened to hodor My mind instantly snapped back to that scene.
Because if you listen to it I swear to God you can clearly hear in the tone of hodor's voice when he answers brans question....
Bran: "You could talk! What happened to you?"
Hodor:"............You did."
Never underestimate Cercei Lannister! Greetings from Germany❤
According to the lore there are 227 Valerian steel swords in Westeros. Many of the major and minor houses have a family sword. The Lannisters used to have a Valerian sword but it was lost on an expedition to old Valeria several generations before. The Lannisters sent people to try and recover it but if I remember right no one returned. Tywin tried to use his families immense wealth to buy a sword but of course each family considered their Valerian swords precious and priceless and no one would sell him one. That’s why him melting down Ice into two swords was so important, they finally had a Valerian sword in the family again.
The Varys storyline is messed up in the show partly because there are characters that are missing from the books. In someways the Stark storyline is even messed up. What happened to the leader of the Brotherhood without Banners?
He is still leading the Brotherhood Without Banners.
trust me the only thing that i search on youtube is spartan & pudgey GOT reactions, simply loved them 🙅🏾❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Super fun reaction, really fun banter at the end!:D A man is excited for the rest of the GoT reactions!
It's not explained, but my speculation is that the man who's shown in the vision being turned into a White Walker is the Night King, the first White Walker. His hatred toward the world is an unintended consequence of having this done to him by the Children of the Forest.
I’m so excited Omg you guys are already watching s7 too, it’s about to get crazy
First comment from Kenya Africa....... love your videos
I cannot wait for your reaction to the next episode😭
Remember when Ned asked Varys “Who do you serve?” And he answered “The realm my lord, someone has to”. I think he’s helping the one who he thinks is the best choice to sit on the throne. By the time he was against Daeny, he knew that there are better choices than a her like: Ned, Renly, Stannis… etc so that’s why he tried to somehow poison her. After king Robert died and all the drama that happened between the lannisters and the starks and Joffrey suck at being king, he changed his mind cuz he knew he’s not the leader the people want. Then the idea of “maybe daeny is a good leader since she got power, army and all that in a short amount of time, why not meeting her and see who she’s?”
Varys betrayed rhaegar for the mad king 😂 he's not honorable or noble he's a snake period
@@hokagedlo6133 Go read the books again, then you’ll have a better understanding of his character. He’s never been a snake. And for each stupid decisions the mad king did, he advised him not to do but the mad king was doing what he liked without paying attention for what Varys were saying.
Varys is a snake he just acts more noble than Little Finger
@@CarloRodriguez10 have you read the books. Because it sure doesn't seem so.... He's even more traitorous in Asoif he is equally as bad as Little Finger
@@hokagedlo6133 If I didn’t read the books, I wouldn’t say that.
If I were a medieval knight I would use a flaming mace like Benjen, or maybe a hammer. 💪 Meera was quite busy as the protector on the way north, but once inside the cave her role became lessened and she was frustrated; she couldn't see the next part of the journey (a blessing) and had no way of seeing the future like everyone around her (Hodor knew, Jorjen knew, The Children knew, Bran was learning, the 3-eyed Raven already knew...).
I think Bran had warged Hodor while he was in the past watching Hodor, and something caused young Honor to experience it. The first time I saw that scene I thought it was super sad. GRRM is an amazing writer, that truly knows how to break your heart.
Mira threw a spear with a dragon glass tip, and thats what killed him. I believe.
I believe young Hodor experienced his own death in that moment.
Bran warred into Hordor in the present in the cave but Bran was also in the past so it bridged the gap of time in Hodors mind. Hodor saw the Army of the undead and his death and it broke his mind when he was young. When the dead are attacking in the cave you see Hodor start to rock and panic because he knows it’s the end.
@@JenLight RIP Hodor/Wyllis. Lyal, brave, and a lot more than a simple man
@@ryanhampson673 I like your explanation. Truly one of the saddest parts of GoT
It’s good writing to an extent with the Hodor character but it also potentially ruins the story as time travel is just so OP. What’s to stop a future evil warg figure going back in time to kill Hodor before that?
She is delighted to see Dany with Drogon just like she was the first time I saw her.... Excellent reaction ♥
Your back and forth at the end got me smiling over here :D
22:23 Westeros is a ptriarachal society and Sam grew up with a very abusive father. There is no way that his mother would dare to talk back like that. The family dynamic makes no sense. I reckon it won't be like this in the books.
Can you nitpick more lol
We still live in a patriarchal society and women talk back to bad men. Not unrealistic.
"wE sTiLl LiVe In A pAtRiArChAl SoCiEtY" 😂
@@changingmind2522 Indeed. The thing that I was simply poiting out is that in family where the father is the authority and abusive to his children, it is unlikely that the wife woudl feel comfortable talking back and calling out her husband for his abuse. This isn't a reading I figured myself. I read women who watch the show point it out.
@@Mic-Mak I’ve never heard a woman say this personally, but I’ll believe you. Sure, there are plenty of women that would cower down at men like this (i don’t mean this in a negative way at all), but there are plenty that would be the opposite because they’re fed up. So truly, it depends on the individual.
In this circumstance (from the very little that we’re given): Sam’s father is very harsh to his oldest son, but still shows admiration for his wife, so it makes sense that she feels she can speak up to him.
i cant wait to watch next episode with u, is my favorite episode, will be epic
you put a smile in my face, your reviews are interesting deep and funny. And bonus the wholesome bully jokes! 😆
fun fact: sam's father is i think the only one to beat Robert in battle. He won against evryone except randall tarly
But he was mean to Sammy Boy, and Sammy Boy is on team good guys, therefore Sammy Boy can easily kick his ass, apparently.
"Not while your are in that chair" and THAT is exactly the problem with those fighting for the Iron Throne.
The guy playing benjen stark is the same guy that played him in the first episode......anyway its definitely the same actor
Drogon looks so damn good in this last scene and Danys scene is absolutely badass.
I always thought that the mad king became mad because of bran trying to warn him of the white walkers. "burn them all"
47:53 I cracked up
They did the direwolves so dirty in this show :(
I agree, the White Walker threat makes all the politics seem so petty.
When I watched The Door, I never thought Hodor chose to hold the door. My read was that Bran warged into him and made him prop up the door, and then when he stop warging, Hodor came back to himself into a terrifying situation where if he moved away, he'd be swarmed. I remember being livid at Bran and Meera for abandoning him. I wish I could see it differently but that was my experience.
Comparing the Children of the Forest to Cersei is pretty harsh; she was protecting herself where as the Children were literally facing extinction. Plus, there's no way they could've predicted the future of the White Walkers. Way more understandable and sympathetic.
37:48 "you'll ride the wooden horses across the black salt sea, and tear down their stone houses" deanerys speech.
I SEE THOSE CURTAIN BANGS PUDGEYYYYYY Omg girl you look so good I love it
Pudgey 💗 so lovely smile and laughing!
Personally I don't believe I've word the high sparrow says. Like everyone else, he's after power. Margarie didn't walk bc she's attoned. She got off bc she had something to offer, more power.
Damn I'm disappointed how Jaime dropped so fast in their love/like list. Although I must admit the writers of the show didn't give Jaime that much cool stuff to do since his return to King's Landing. But personally the moment the moment Jaime had the bath scene with Brienne, he became my soul brother lol and he stayed my favorite forever. BTW as far as what Gilly said to Randyl about Sam being "a greater warrior than you'll ever be" well he is a jerk but Randyl was the only man who defeated Robert Baratheon in battle. Stannis said as much to Sam at Castleblack, remember?
i would be shocked and appalled if hold the door comes back as a white walker and kills brandon stark as revenge for messing up his brain.
In the last few episodes alone, the Stark lost 4 of their faithful defenders, Hodor , Osha , Summer and Shaggydog.
Can we get a haircare routine, Pudgey?
:) Just joking, I'm curlyheaded, but your hair looks so healthy and fabulous every episode!
Cannot wait to dig in!
In sci fi its called "closed loop" time travel. Spartan was spot on.
It is one of the saddest things of Game of Throne. Bran disabled Hordor to serve him (tho unknowingly.)
The actor who plays Hordor says that he knows Hordor loved Bran and forgave him.
You guys are my favorite reactors. I can't wait til you get to x,y,z. Sweet summer children. Keep it up
I dislike Sam taking an Ancient Valyrian steel sword and not having any repercussions for it.
You’re telling me that the lord of a powerful house, Randyll Tarly who has said he would kill his son for not living upto expectations, doesn’t go after his son for stealing the ancient sword of his house?
“He can bloody well try” bro Sam you know what your father would kill you Gilly and the baby if he caught you and you know he can do it easily. Why even bother you’re not even a fighter. You can tell the writing has taken a hit by this point.
Sammy can't even lift the sword lmao.. his strength is in wit..
The White Walkers are basically Agent Smith from the Matrix franchise. Created as an antibody to the virus (i.e. humans) and ended up becoming an aggressive cancer.
Now you guys are literally GOT fans🔥🖤 HotD is just side crush 😋😉
Drogon will be a lot larger than the other two dragons at this point, as he has been roaming free and eating at will, while the other two are still in captivity - albeit unchained now - and as it has been mentioned before, dragons do not do well in captivity and don't grow large.

Spartan did a great job explaining what happened to Hodor. Randall Tarley is a horrible father. He threatened to kill Sam if he didn't join the Night's Watch. Love how Sam is getting stronger all the time. If someone pays the Faceless men they kill that person without judgement. Good call Spartan about the future of Hart's Bane. A little spoilery but I think you guys will like who winds up with that sword.

The mountain is a literal zombie who cannot be stopped unless you chop his head off and burn him probably.... He can definitely win a trial by combat probably easier than he won the last one...
before makin food i saw there was no video, when food was ready, the episode came out 15 sec ago, sheesh that timing
Sam gave them some dragonglass. One of the spear points.
Sam gave them dragon glass before they left ❤ 7:25
At least! A girl opened her eyes and placed good Ser Davos of the Onion on her list of names...
On the other hand, a man remains hopelessly blind.
27:40 there’s unsubstantiated fan theories that say that Mace Tyrell isn’t a complete blockhead nor incompetent, only that he pretends to be to protect his lands and family. Not such a bad theory when in this world if you are rich and loyal, you will fail upwards
The guy playing Sam's brother Dicon, also stars as Billy Bones in the show Black Sails.
Not to mention when Dickon changes heads for future seasons he's played by the actor (Tom Hopper), who also plays the werewolf character in The Umbrella Academy.
Not the same actor... yet.
14:12 bran sees his brother die.
In reading the comments 5 mos after the fact, it seems that everyone forgot that besides Varys, there were other plotters and schemes after Dany: Robert, Littlefinger, Cersei, even Joffrey, while he was alive and in power.
Your explanation of Hodor makes so much sense! Haven’t figured it out til now 😂
Brandon was also the name of Ned and Benjen's oldest brother. Brandon and Rickard (Ned's father) were killed in red keep by thd mad king
this season is my favorite of GOT because every episode is bombastic and the plots develop better !! best season ever
It just proves that the 3 eyed raven can change things through the past. Makes me want to watch and see if maybe the 3 eyed Raven was the architect of a lot of bad things that caused bran to go to him.
Benjen isn't alive. He's undead, just not under the White Walker's control.
well, not in the show
@@undarkwin - Well, that's what it's portrayed about him in the show. In the books we don't know where he is yet.
It's not that Spartan is bad with names, it's that Pudgey is really good with names. Most reactors keep notes while she just remembers... impressive.
Or she watches ahead and researches the show.
@@itsyoboyb6314 You can't really do that research without spoilers, I know when I watched it for the first time last year I couldn't avoid occasional spoilers when reading around. So I think she's just good with names/makes notes.
interesting fact about sam’s dad, he’s the only man who defeated robert baratheon in battle
Hodor sees his life destiny and it broke him 😢 . Make him to say that his life purpose all his life to everyone and nobody even understands what he means 😭😭
Benjen isn’t fully alive, that’s why he’s been staying far north. He can’t go past the wall anymore.
All 3 brains were connected Bran, Hodor and Willis, who basically experienced his own death while holding the door.
