Fun fact: The way that Jaime sacrificed a part of the Lannister troops at Casterly Rock, while taking the main forces to High Garden, is basically the same strategy that Robb used to win the Battle of the Whispering Wood (which resulted in Jaime being captured by the Starks). So you can really tell that Jaime learned from his past mistakes...😄
Jon didn't bend the knee because as Dany said, by declaring himself King of the North he is in open rebellion. The North is part of her Kingdom (Queendom lol), not and independent Kingdom he can be the head of. He can be warden of the North, as Ned was for Robert. But not King. Jon's people chose him as a their King and leader and I believe he feels it would be a betrayal to them to step down and swear fealty to Danaerys. The Northernes by nature are untrusting of outsiders (and rightly so), and southerners. Danaerys isn't only a southerner by technicality, but she has spent her entire life outside of the kingdom entirely. The North aren't easily trusting and this scenario definitely difficult to gain their support. I believe Jon, like Ned, is tied to his honor and dedication to his people.
Good talk. Also, never forget Northeners fought against daddy of Deanerys, the Mad King, 20-25 years ago.....so lots of them really hate Targaryen family.....
She is not the Queen. Cercei is. No bending the knee will make her more of a queen. Now, creating an alliance might enhance her chances at gaining power. But as for now? Its just talk and delusions of grandeur.
When she was in the east, she was the foreigner from Westeros. Now she's in Westeros, and she's the foreigner again. In the books, there was a puppet show in King's Landing where the lions were eaten by dragons. Cersei ended it. So they might be more amenable to a Targaryen returning, but Daenerys may not get there first.
Honestly I feel no sympathy for Ellaria and Tyene. They had this coming to them for killing Myrcella. She was an innocent girl who had no part in Oberyn’s death and her death was such a disgrace to Oberyn’s memory because of you remember he never wanted to hurt any children because he did not believe a child is responsible for the sins of their parents. He only wanted to get revenge on Tywin for getting his sister and nieces killed. He never went for Cersei, her kids, nor Tyrion at all, just Tywin. But nooooo Ellaria was so consumed with hate for the Lannisters that she became just as bad as Cersei. If you kill a child and face the wrath of that child’s parent than I have no sympathy for you.
I actually don't mind this deviation where Cersei takes her revenge on the Sand Snakes. However, with that said, keep in mind that in the actual Dorne plot the Sand Snakes want to put Myrcella on the throne, and she was wounded, not killed. Her ear was sliced off and now has to wear veils to cover up her defect, but she's still alive.
You mentioned Dany's hair. Those braids increase, in number and length, for her every conquest. She follows the Dothraki custom, in that way. Her braids increase over time. And all the players are wearing some great clothes, this season.
Keep in mind, Miya, bending the knee means he gives up his Northern Crown. Jon has a point, he doesn’t, nor does the Northern people, know Dany. The last Targaryens murdered beloved Starks. They have reason to resent Dany, despite us knowing Her Majesty. But, understandably, Dany must prove herself first.
Tyrion should have mentioned the time when Commander Mormont was almost attacked by a wight that Jon killed; in season 2 they get a raven that informs King's Landing of this and Tyrion trusted it was true. I was not sad for Ellaria, she got what she deserved for what she did to Myrcella. One of the other few times I rooted for Cersei. She understood Ellaria's grief, even in spite of talking about Oberyn to get a rise out of her. I also fully agreed that whatever her grievances were; Myrcella was innnocent and did not deserve to die. Nevermind that Oberyn's death is his own fault. I love that Olenna got the final word. Queen of Thorns all the way to the end.
Olenna went out like a G. Defiant to the end. One last prick from the Queen of Thorns. That closing scene always gave me chills, some iconic shit!! "Give me two good men and some climbing spikes and I'll impregnante" lmaoo that Bronn callback outta nowhere 🤣
You're not alone. Cersei is a fantastic villain. She's complicated, interesting, unapologetically evil, and yet, every once in a while, she can actually make you feel some empathy for her. Lena Headey plays her brilliantly.
On Cersei’s scene, it wasn’t so much that I enjoyed watching Cersei get revenge for Myrcella. I enjoyed watching Ellaria suffer. I loathed Ellaria for killing off Myrcella right when she and Jaime had a (uncle/)daddy/daughter moment. It was the only time Jaime was openly a father to anyone of the kids.
"The bastard of Winterfell." "The dwarf of Casterly Rock." "I believe we last saw each other on top of the wall." "You were pissing off the edge, if I remember right. Picked up some scars along the road." "It's been a long road. But we're both still here". Ahhh man. Season 1 Episode 3. Nostalgia intensifies 😭
"You love her. You really do love her. You poor fool. She'll be the end of you". Not only the confession but even the interaction reflects on how much of a tormented soul Jaime is. Or rather, he always was. He is in a prison of his own sense of duty. Maan, so many callbacks. It's only fitting Jaime gives a nod to the Young Wolf when talking about learning from his mistakes. When Olenna says "I want her to know it was me" there's a tiny second when Jaime looks at his sword but then thinks better of it. You can see his expression turn from momentary rage to dejection as he walks away. It's almost like his spirit leaving his body. It is as perfectly executed as can be. I can care less about a battle when the Tyrells are already supposed to be depleted between Euron and Tarlys. This was an epic way for Diana Rigg to exit stage left. Rest in peace, phenomenal actor.
Logically it should have been predictable that at first sight Dany and Jon would not get along. Dany is conducting herself with royalty and she's always been always entitled (The Throne is mine) whereas Jon has basically the vibe of a common plummer. lol Imagine Visceris meeting Ned Stark. And how it would go. Both Dany and Jon are a less extreme version of these two. They are too much the opposite.
I love at 11:33 you caught that exchange between Jon and Dany as she says "We all enjoy what we are good at" and Jon replies with this somber tone "I don't" I think this is the moment her opinion changes of him and they make a point to show her reaction to his reply. Dany knows Jon is probably good at killing people and fighting, but he hates it, and I think she seems him as a better person. It's a subtle two lines, but it also shows the comparisons of Jon and his father (Rhaegar).
Lol when you said "they're always throwing food like they don't need it" you're so right the people in King's landing are so stupid ngl !!! They keep loving and hating whoever's on the throne i hate them i'm not even sorry lol The Stark family reunion... THEY DESERVE IT SO MUCH i also cried
I just wanted to say that John isn't the "Dragon" cause he gets burned by fire, as we saw when he tried to save Mormond, unlike Deneris who is immune to fire.
I loved Olenna Tyrell so much she was my most favorite Tyrell, even better than Queen Margaery honestly. Margaery was my second favorite Tyrell, Loras the third, and Mace the fourth. I really loved House Tyrell as a whole because it they were so mysterious and sly. Give to the people and they will be happy. Every move the Tyrells made was a power move where they would get something they wanted off from it and an intelligent one as well but at the same time they got what they wanted by making people happy. They weren’t above giving small victories to certain people which is what I really liked that about them. I also liked that they worked together as a team and genuinely loved each other in the family. They were one of my favorite houses. I miss them so much😭 Olenna’s words were the best. She basically won at her own death, telling Jaime she killed his twerp of a son, dying peacefully unlike her family. She came into the world as the Queen of Thorns and died as the Queen of Thorns. Loved her so much. Book spoilers: The Tyrell name may be gone but the Tyrell bloodline is still active I think. Fun fact(Because I think this fact is canon in the show as well as the books even though they didn’t get mentioned at all by Olenna or Mace) but Olenna not only had Mace Tyrell as a son but she also has two daughters as well with her husband, Luthor Tyrell. Their names are Mina and Janna. Mina is married to Paxter Redwyne, Olenna’s nephew and cousin and they actually have 3 kids. As for Janna, she is married to a Fossoway knight now. Margaery also mentioned a Tyrell cousin to Sansa named Alanna Tyrell. So the Tyrell bloodline is still growing strong I think.
Even though Casterly Rock has golden mines (which, I believe Tywin said, they are running out of gold or those mines are already empty), The Reach (the realm the Tyrells governed) is the main supplier of food and crops. You can't win a war without money, but you can't win a war and face a long winter without food and crops. That's why I think they marched Highgarden and let Casterly Rock poorly protected.
Theon is probably traumatized and has PTSD considering what his been through. I think the best option for him and for Yara was to jump ship because no doubt that Euron would have killed both of them on the spot
For a not so good season, that Olenna ending is better than the season finale climax of most shows. Living up to your own standards can be a bitch sometimes.
It was incredibly satisfying to watch Cerceis revenge, but at the same time- you felt what it was like to lose your daughter, so wanting that feeling but even worse to happen to an enemy is more twisted and proves Cercei losing her daughter isn’t as saddening anymore. I think as morals go in real life someone who’s willing to not take revenge especially hurt someone the same way or worse the way you were hurt- that’s what a truly good person would do. A truly good person wouldn’t act on it. Either way great scene, great villian. It was so sad for me that Jon left and arya was on her way, I swear they just withheld these two the most because they were just the best sibling pair 😆
I've watched this episode probably 6 times and I never caught the symbolism of Jon saying, "I'm not a Stark" and then Drogon flying over like... "nope, you're a Targaryen.." 😲
I'm gonna say that this is a great episode from start to finish. There's not many scenes that can match the gravitas and the electricity of that final conversation with Jaime and Olenna. The way she bows out is the ultimate 'victory in defeat'. The whole episode is a perfect turbulence of drama, suspense and emotion. Hell they even manage to squeeze in a reunion in all this. That alone would've been the focus of the season finale of other shows. Here it's just a throwaway. For all the complaining this gets, most directors would feel lucky if they put out something 1/4th as scintillating as the finished product here.
Then there's the ones who complain about not showing the Tyrell battle. Randyll Tarly was the main bannerman of House Tyrell. Him taking up Cersei's offer to betray Olenna (why wouldn't he?) just like Roose Bolton took up Tywin's offer to betray Robb and become the new warden of his region, means a huge portion of the Tyrell army was not only gone, they joined with the Lannister forces attacking Olenna. So it wouldn't be much of a battle would it? Robb couldn't mount a successful attack ever again after the Karstarks left. Plus they the Tyrells and Dorne were on their way to siege King's Landing so it can be assumed that a chunk of the Tyrell army went down with the ships during Euron's attack. The Tyrells had already lost before the battle started. I don't anything logistically wrong here. But more importantly, only emotionally challenged pedants would prioritize hand wringing over a battle when that exchange between Olenna and Jaime, how it holds a mirror to Jaime's character and the manner of her confession are all worth the admission price of a 100 head chopping scenes. Not to mention it's the same bait and switch like last time between 6x8 and 6x9. The battle is coming up next.
I always loved that Jon was introduced with just his name, because that’s him just Jon. A bastard, a man who lets his actions speak for him rather than flourishing himself with titles. Davos could have said. “this is Jon Snow the King in the North, The Bastard of Winterfell, the 998th Lord Commander of the Nights Watch, Uniter of Wildlings and Northmen, the White Wolf and the Resurrected.” That just wouldn’t be Jon though. He’s a man of duty, a man of the people. He doesn’t consider himself any of those things. He’s just focused on the task ahead and being what other people need him to be. He was a steward despite not wanting to be, he was a spy despite not wanting to be, he lead the battle on the wall because the brother’s of the nights watch needed him, he went to save them because he knew they needed them too and if Stannis hadn’t come then no one else would have. He took the position of lord commander because he was voted into it, he didn’t ask Sam to put him forward, he killed Mance because it was the right thing to do, and we all know he died for the wildlings and even after that he keeps fighting for Westeros. He takes back Winterfell for Sansa because it’s what she needs to be safe. She was awful to him as a child, but his duty to a man who never even told him his mother’s name came first. Imagine if Davos said all that. Daenerys would’ve been like “okay have my army.” Lmao.
Mance Rayder ''We do not kneel'' comes to mind. Anyone who demands or even asks for bending of the knee surely doesn't deserve such a thing in my opinion. It is an act of submission, a recognition of authority and a demonstration of fealty. The people chose Jon and chose to bend a knee to him. Dragon lady goes around threatening people to bend a knee. Huge difference. It saddens me to see that lost on so many people today. It seems fashionable in both TV and real life to bend the knee. :/
Rhaegal (Jon's dragon) was wooing him with that screech, she smelled that Targ blood. (I call all the dragons "she." Because they can flip genders to breed. Drogon might actually do that now that Viserion and Rhaegal are gone.
The other 2 sandsnakes weren’t Ellaria’s daughters just Tyene the one she’s watching die. Obara talked about when Oberyn came to take her from the mother when Jaime was in Dorne. Her & Oberyn’s other daughters are younger. Yea as much as I hate Cersei I was glad she got to avenge Myrcella & Cersei played the iron bank like Tywin would but that’s about it 🤣🤣 she’s far from Tywin
"You are in open rebellion" Sweetie? Danarys? Calling yourself Queen does not make you a queen. At this point you have no power. So, please, tone it down a notch.
Why couldn't he just bend the knee? The North chose independence and fought for it. They chose to break off the seven kingdoms with Robb's crowning. What do you think his people will say if he just gave it away?
Yeah, I'm with you: I didn't think season 7 or 8 for that matter (except for the first and last episodes of season 8) were bad at all. I think it's because my expectations weren't skewed by reading the books, which I'm sure were better because in a book, you have the advantage of being able to explain characters' motivations, who was thinking what and do more world-building, going deeper into backstories than a movie or series can, which leads to having to cut corners, merge characters, divert, drop or create storylines, etc. Following the story the show's writers told without having the original story to compare it with, I had no issue with it. Not my favorite seasons at all, but not nearly as bad as the internet says.

R.I.P Lady Olena “the queen of thorns” Tyrell. She went out like a straight boss. Eff Cersei!!
That's basically what she said. :)

That moment by Olena is so savage. She's like "give me an easy way out..oh btw, I did in fact kill your son"
Dany : We all enjoy what we're good at.
Jon : I don't.
Cries in "he never liked killing, he loved to sing" 😩
Just another life lesson Dany conviently "forgot" in the last 2 seasons :P
Also the iron fleet
Honestly I feel no sympathy for Ellaria and Tyene. They had this coming to them for killing Myrcella.

If you kill a child and face the wrath of that child’s parent than I have no sympathy for you.
Well it'd a complete fucking deviation from the books so it's pretty awful
I feel no sympathy either, but it still takes a pretty disturbed mind to come up with a revenge plot that cruel.
I actually don't mind this deviation where Cersei takes her revenge on the Sand Snakes. However, with that said, keep in mind that in the actual Dorne plot the Sand Snakes want to put Myrcella on the throne, and she was wounded, not killed. Her ear was sliced off and now has to wear veils to cover up her defect, but she's still alive.
Yeah can’t be mad at Cersei for that one. Sweet Myrcella got justice.
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 Yes, these are alternate universes, for sure. Putting Myrcella on the Iron Throne would actually be interesting too.
You mentioned Dany's hair. Those braids increase, in number and length, for her every conquest. She follows the Dothraki custom, in that way. Her braids increase over time. And all the players are wearing some great clothes, this season.
Aww that’s so nice 😭
"I want her to know it was me". That's a bar!! That's a line on a t-shirt!!

Last part, "Dany must prove herself first"....well said...
I really enjoy your sense of humor and quick cuts - thanks for all that you do!
“They’re always throwing food like they don’t need it” Lmaoooo😂😂😂 you’ve got a point though

The way you covered your mouth after Olenna said, "(Tell Cersei.) I want her to know it was me..." that was everything.
It's probably an unpopular opinion, but I love Cersei. She's such an entertaining character, it's so satisfying to watch her take revenge!
You're not alone. Cersei is a fantastic villain. She's complicated, interesting, unapologetically evil, and yet, every once in a while, she can actually make you feel some empathy for her. Lena Headey plays her brilliantly.
Cersei is fantastic.
#teamcersei all the way, she is the best character, and Lena, the best actress!
Great villain but I don’t like the scene of her getting revenge. If you like that you should be checked out
I think a lot of people can agree the scene with ellaria and her daughter was deserved in the show even if it was a complete deviation from the books

Really enjoying your reactions! It reminds me what it felt like seeing these episodes for the first time.
All those hard sons-a-bitches chose him as their leader.... because they believe in him!
My favorite line from the episode.
"The bastard of Winterfell."
"The dwarf of Casterly Rock."
"I believe we last saw each other on top of the wall."
"You were pissing off the edge, if I remember right. Picked up some scars along the road."
"It's been a long road. But we're both still here".

Dany: telling the stories of her struggles and her hardships
The audience: but did you die?
So women get raped, brutalized, sold and it's still not enough trauma? You'd never compare Sansas CHOSEN trauma to Jon but Dany's is fine?
Lighten up. He was making a joke. These are FICTIONAL characters.
Totally heard Leslie Chow's voice from The Hangover. Hilarious.
@@justbeyondmythoughts Sansa’s WHAT??????????????????
One thing I found interesting: Daenerys was boosting about all her accomplishments, but Jon was not boosting about his. Davos talked him up instead.

Lol when you said "they're always throwing food like they don't need it" you're so right the people in King's landing are so stupid ngl !!! They keep loving and hating whoever's on the throne i hate them i'm not even sorry lol
The Stark family reunion... THEY DESERVE IT SO MUCH i also cried
Note: Arrows and bolts are not able to pierce a dragon's scales according to George R.R Martin.
Can’t wait for your ep 4 and ep 6 reactionssss
I just wanted to say that John isn't the "Dragon" cause he gets burned by fire, as we saw when he tried to save Mormond, unlike Deneris who is immune to fire.
I loved Olenna Tyrell so much she was my most favorite Tyrell, even better than Queen Margaery honestly. Margaery was my second favorite Tyrell, Loras the third, and Mace the fourth.

I also liked that they worked together as a team and genuinely loved each other in the family. They were one of my favorite houses. I miss them so much😭
Olenna’s words were the best. She basically won at her own death, telling Jaime she killed his twerp of a son, dying peacefully unlike her family. She came into the world as the Queen of Thorns and died as the Queen of Thorns. Loved her so much.
Book spoilers:
The Tyrell name may be gone but the Tyrell bloodline is still active I think. Fun fact(Because I think this fact is canon in the show as well as the books even though they didn’t get mentioned at all by Olenna or Mace) but Olenna not only had Mace Tyrell as a son but she also has two daughters as well with her husband, Luthor Tyrell. Their names are Mina and Janna. Mina is married to Paxter Redwyne, Olenna’s nephew and cousin and they actually have 3 kids. As for Janna, she is married to a Fossoway knight now. Margaery also mentioned a Tyrell cousin to Sansa named Alanna Tyrell. So the Tyrell bloodline is still growing strong I think.
Rest up our favorite 70s Bond girl Diana Rigg 😆
Littlefinger telling sansa girl you better be thinking about everything everywhere all at once
Youre giving Meg the Stallion with this makeup and hair!
Theon, you're a good man.
Even though Casterly Rock has golden mines (which, I believe Tywin said, they are running out of gold or those mines are already empty), The Reach (the realm the Tyrells governed) is the main supplier of food and crops. You can't win a war without money, but you can't win a war and face a long winter without food and crops. That's why I think they marched Highgarden and let Casterly Rock poorly protected.
There are a lot of Lannister cousins in the books, but on the show there's basically Lancel.
Quick question are you ahead on Patreon or are you on the same episode? 🤔
We’re ahead :)
Theon is probably traumatized and has PTSD considering what his been through. I think the best option for him and for Yara was to jump ship because no doubt that Euron would have killed both of them on the spot
"A finger in the bum." Favorite line in the whole series.

I saw another TH-camr edit Jon and Daenerys meeting and complaining about each other as a romantic comedy trailer. It was funny.

For a not so good season, that Olenna ending is better than the season finale climax of most shows. Living up to your own standards can be a bitch sometimes.

I think as morals go in real life someone who’s willing to not take revenge especially hurt someone the same way or worse the way you were hurt- that’s what a truly good person would do. A truly good person wouldn’t act on it. Either way great scene, great villian.
It was so sad for me that Jon left and arya was on her way, I swear they just withheld these two the most because they were just the best sibling pair 😆

Not to mention it's the same bait and switch like last time between 6x8 and 6x9. The battle is coming up next.
I feel crazy bad for Jaime here! But it's a bed of his own making! Rest up our favorite 70s Bond Girl Diana Rigg. 😆
I always loved that Jon was introduced with just his name, because that’s him just Jon. A bastard, a man who lets his actions speak for him rather than flourishing himself with titles. Davos could have said. “this is Jon Snow the King in the North, The Bastard of Winterfell, the 998th Lord Commander of the Nights Watch, Uniter of Wildlings and Northmen, the White Wolf and the Resurrected.” That just wouldn’t be Jon though. He’s a man of duty, a man of the people. He doesn’t consider himself any of those things. He’s just focused on the task ahead and being what other people need him to be. He was a steward despite not wanting to be, he was a spy despite not wanting to be, he lead the battle on the wall because the brother’s of the nights watch needed him, he went to save them because he knew they needed them too and if Stannis hadn’t come then no one else would have. He took the position of lord commander because he was voted into it, he didn’t ask Sam to put him forward, he killed Mance because it was the right thing to do, and we all know he died for the wildlings and even after that he keeps fighting for Westeros. He takes back Winterfell for Sansa because it’s what she needs to be safe. She was awful to him as a child, but his duty to a man who never even told him his mother’s name came first. Imagine if Davos said all that. Daenerys would’ve been like “okay have my army.” Lmao.
Go go Go GOOOOOOO NEXT EPISODE BEAUTIFUL PANTHER
Mance Rayder ''We do not kneel'' comes to mind.
Anyone who demands or even asks for bending of the knee surely doesn't deserve such a thing in my opinion.
It is an act of submission, a recognition of authority and a demonstration of fealty.
The people chose Jon and chose to bend a knee to him. Dragon lady goes around threatening people to bend a knee. Huge difference.
It saddens me to see that lost on so many people today. It seems fashionable in both TV and real life to bend the knee. :/
Yayyyy another one!!! LOVE YAAA
I love Jorah like my own father! 😅
I for once love Cersei, she got her revenge... they pushed her to it.
Rhaegal (Jon's dragon) was wooing him with that screech, she smelled that Targ blood. (I call all the dragons "she." Because they can flip genders to breed. Drogon might actually do that now that Viserion and Rhaegal are gone.
Omgggg i hope so ! I didn’t know that
Expect everything. Every single thing that might happen with any single person. Expect everything and nothing, everyone and no one.
Did someone spoil episode 7 for you? Because you keep mentioning it lol.
I’ve finished season 7 already
*pikachu face*
Jaime hitting someone over Cersei is not the use of his golden hand I'd like to see.
lmao comment section funny af....writing paragraphs they write o n other reactors vids lol
The other 2 sandsnakes weren’t Ellaria’s daughters just Tyene the one she’s watching die. Obara talked about when Oberyn came to take her from the mother when Jaime was in Dorne. Her & Oberyn’s other daughters are younger. Yea as much as I hate Cersei I was glad she got to avenge Myrcella & Cersei played the iron bank like Tywin would but that’s about it 🤣🤣 she’s far from Tywin
Yeaaa i know biologically they weren’t, i just thought she considered them hers as well 😭
I still wanna beat up Bran for how he treated Sansa this episode
Bran literally reminded Sansa who was responsible for marrying her to Ramsay....
Lena Headey's acting this episode is insane
Archmaester could’ve been a little more appreciative. Give Sam some Felix Felicis or something
"You are in open rebellion" Sweetie? Danarys? Calling yourself Queen does not make you a queen. At this point you have no power. So, please, tone it down a notch.
yea his grandfather killed his other grandfather
RIP Lady Olenna, Queen of Shade‼
Why couldn't he just bend the knee? The North chose independence and fought for it. They chose to break off the seven kingdoms with Robb's crowning. What do you think his people will say if he just gave it away?
lesgoooo
I must be the only one who gets tired of hearing Danny's titles. 🙄
Yeah, I'm with you: I didn't think season 7 or 8 for that matter (except for the first and last episodes of season 8) were bad at all. I think it's because my expectations weren't skewed by reading the books, which I'm sure were better because in a book, you have the advantage of being able to explain characters' motivations, who was thinking what and do more world-building, going deeper into backstories than a movie or series can, which leads to having to cut corners, merge characters, divert, drop or create storylines, etc. Following the story the show's writers told without having the original story to compare it with, I had no issue with it. Not my favorite seasons at all, but not nearly as bad as the internet says.
The only season I truly disliked was season 8. Complete trash. It was visually stunning but horrible storytelling and ending to a once great show
Honestly casterly rock really is forgettable in the show, she ate more in the books tho
We have never even been to Casterly rock in the books lol. And the show already said that the rock is bankrupt
all the women were so slay this season ♥
