Moderator's request: please give Ms. Sophie your best wishes for having survived the most shocking episode of this show. We know how we felt during our first experience. But please remember not to spoil future events. Thank you.
Great reaction. Moderator, you may want to warn Sophie in advance that they recast the role of Dario with a different actor in upcoming episodes. Not really a spoiler, but since she had such affection towards this guy, she may need to brace herself. She went through a lot on this one! Cheers.
@@Scott3843 I totally agree 👍💯 percent...the actor I believe had other commitments if I remember correctly....???
Counterpoint - Hodor. I've wished Ms. Sophie all the best and tried to encourage her in a supporting way, but I can't tell her that the worst is over. There is much more awfulness (and greatness) to come!
The end of 5x10 was much worse to me. i never liked Robb
Not the most shocking. That honor belongs to "The Door".
Not gonna lie. When you said “I’m watching this on my fucking birthday” I couldn’t help but laugh because that’s just horrible timing. I’m so sorry. We all know how you feel
Book readers knowing what was coming and filming their friends and family react when this episode first aired was essentially what started movie/TV reaction videos on YT.
This should have more likes, a lot of people don't know this
I remember when those started popping up!
Yes, this literally kicked off the react genre/meta
I rerad the books and knew what was coming up and it still sent chills up my spine but I never filmed others reractions
Good times.
8 minutes in and "this episode is giving me hope".
Oh sweet Summer child.
😂😂😂
Yeah, that broke my heart..
😅😅😅 few minutes later: i hate this f*ck*ng show
the longest oof in history
I don't get what summer child means, can I get an explanation?
I feel bad you chose to watch this episode on your birthday. The red wedding breaks every fan of the show, doesn't even matter if you know it's coming because you've read the books, it'll still get you.
It sure does matter. If you don't know it's coming at all, like 98% of us who didn't read the books, to those who knew it's coming because you read it in the books. What a silly way to say that, just patting yourself on the back for reading the books. It's just not the same at all. You got 86 likes from book readers, but no one sees the thumbs down anymore.
So silly, you think Sophie's reaction before, during & after would be the same, if she already knew what's coming? SMH!
I thought it was pretty funny first time I saw it lol
@@Steve-eh4db I disagree, its brutal if you knew or not. I held my tongue for three seasons to see my friend's reaction when it happened, regardless both of our jaws were on the floor. To each their own though.
@@Steve-eh4db It still hurt to watch as a reader, plus it doesn't play out exactly the same as in the book. There were a couple of nasty surprises
@@kevinatenine9797 I didn't thought it was funny but I loved the fact that you have no clue who is gonna live and who is gonna die like you have no idea until the very end
Arya looking at the twins...
"I'm going to cry"
Everybody watching......... "Yes, yes you are"
Sometimes I think someone should do a reactions reaction channel! 😂
"This episode is given me hope." 😇.....all hope is gone. 😈
@@BaDw0lf577
What it giveth with one hand,....it taketh away with the other......
4 mins in seeing Arya approach the twins: "I'm gonna cry." Oh my sweet summer child.
I literally got chills knowing what this poor girl was about to experience because she was so excited for Arya to see her family again😢
@@sandimcalisterblood2675 Well, she did see Grey Wind! :-)
You've survived the Red Wedding! My lords and ladies, welcome with me our newest woman of winter ❄️
She's no woman of winter,.....
......yet.
She still has a few more........moments.....to get through.
It's the toughest!
Once you get past this, it gets easier.
@@johnnyd1790
There are a couple more that I think are kinda tougher.
Simply because there's no expectation of them going in, and there's no reasonable rationalization for them after the fact.
With the Red Wedding, though it was equally unexpected when it first happened, in the aftermath of it all, after all the emotions die down, you come to the realization that something like that was always bound to happen thanks to Robb's stupid decisions as King of the North (as well as some of his mom's).
@@Cbricklynewell, not gonna argue against it.
Nobody should have to experience The Body and The Rains of Castamere in the same week.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the notification.
It’s been a tough week for our girl.😞
If I'm not mistaken, The Body was actually out on Patreon quite a bit before GOT.
*yea, her hair is a bit different in the Buffy video. 😉
Was about to point this out just now, really bad timing.
Exactly, I swear by the Almighty that Sophie is having a breakdown, please 🙏 Sophie go and watch a comedy, I hate to see you like this and I know you’re personal life is not helping but watch Monty Python’s Life of Brian as a one off, your fans are worried about you sweetheart
@@paullamb3109 yes, good idea, and yes Sofie, we care about you.
This episode has turned me into a sadist; I swear the more people cry at this episode the more joy it brings me 😂😂
i'm late to the party and just saw this episode last week. somehow avoided all the spoilers. but yeah, a decade later and i'm looking up these crazy reactions. this one is different because i've never seen anybody rage quit a show before. 😄
7:53 "This episode is giving me hope".
That desperate cry by the mother in the end - every parent's worst nightmare - losing you child - and wanna give yours so it can survive.
The Red Wedding is one of the most shocking scenes to be portrayed on TV, and every GOT viewer has felt the pain you felt.
In all seriousness, props to you for catching how serious of a betrayal it was for Roose to return Jaime to Tywin instead of Robb. It’s something that most people (myself included) miss on the first watch, and once you catch it, it’s pretty obvious that he has turned on Robb.
not every fan
Yup. The moment where each viewer thought "fuck this show, I'm done".
I thought, holy shit I can't wait to see who's next!
@@English_MoFo
In the list of Arya? A lot of people, now.
Only half way through but had to pause at the line "This episode is giving me hope".
Hope means disaster in the end of the episode. I’ve learned my lesson 😞
@@SoFieReactsTV Why do you think it's okay to put MASSIVE spoilers in your preview images??? I am on season 1 of this show and your video was recommended to me. Idk who you are but you completely ruined this for me. Thanks a lot.
I hope your views tank since you apparently think it's okay to ruin peoples enjoyment of these shows for a few more views. Selfish and rude.
@@clohan-chan2202 LMAO you are actually complaining about getting spoiled on smth that aired almost TEN YEARS AGO?? That is the most pathetic and childish thing I saw for a long while, thanks for the laugh 🤣
@@clohan-chan2202 are you dumb?
@@clohan-chan2202 Oh my God you are insane. Its a reaction video for God's sake, of an old show even. And don't come for Sophie, we love her.
"Qyburn hopes your father will force the citadel to give him back his chain."
"Father will make him Grand Maester if he grows me a new hand."
"You will give my regards to Lord Tywin I trust?"
*"Tell Robb Stark I'm sorry couldn't make his uncle's wedding. The Lannisters send their regards"*
It's funnier in the book where Jaime jokingly tells Roose "So long as you give my regards to Robb Stark". Then Roose actually does it
We're with you. It's truly a horrendous ending.
It took me quite a while to recover from this.
Warm regards from the Netherlands!
Never clicked this fast
I cried with you Sofie. I have seen many react to this episode. Some rage and shout, others cry and sob. I read the books long before watching the show, so it didn't take me by surprise. You made me cry again.
this episode is the "welcome to Game of Thrones".
is just brutal.
SoFie was feeling so happy before the event. I knew it was going to be hard on her.
I was watching " INDIAN CALYPSO " reaction and her FitBit watch started to beep telling her to stop all activities. She kept reacting and understood that this is what the show is about. And there will be probably 12 more episodes as sad as this one... almost as sad.
I love Indian Calypso, the fact both her and Sofie had to just end it and not talk about the episode says a lot
I don't ever get excited or yell during a show or a movie but when this scene happened I got up off my couch and I was yelling what the f*** just happened where is the show going to go from here. This is one of the most shocking moments I've ever seen
I remember re-reading the paragraph cause I thought I must’ve misunderstood what was going on. Then I threw my book across the room & vowed not to read anymore, a vow I pretty much immediately broke , lol.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 it's a masterpiece you have to respect the man who wrote the story because he is a genius the way he can play with your emotions.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Same…that book stayed on the floor for 2 weeks…I refused to touch it….until I just had to find out…but I stepped over that damn thing the whole time!
3;57: "I know I'm gonna cry!"
Me: I know you are, and I'm so sorry! We all went through this!
You're a woman of winter now!
This is the most shocking and heartbreaking episode in the history of Television! Nothing can ever beat this!!
After watching this episode, you need to make a pie
Outlander - To Ransom a Man`s Soul or Faith?
@@painlord2k you serve!
This episode invented the tv/movie reaction business.
@@MariaStarkTargaryen And you deside the fillings.
The tragedy of this episode, way back in 2013 essentially kickstarted the whole "youtube reaction" genre: so many people wanted to witness how everyone ELSE reacted to such rule-breaking insanity!
There were so many videos of secretly filmed family and friends! Peak content 😅
Stick it out, Sofie! The show just keeps getting crazier!
Nah... "2 Girls 1 Cup" was 6 years before this, and is what really started the "shock" TH-cam reaction genre.
This is how I discovered this show. I watched reactions to this scene, and then watched the scene, and then started from S1E1
@@Darkswordz that was a one off, this started a genre
As many will have already said, you are no longer a sweet summer child. You are now a woman of winter.
Appropriate to happen on birthday too..
what does summer child mean? I'm new here
@@r3x85 Old Nan calls Bran a "sweet summer child" in the third episode of the series. It sort of means "young and innocent."
One of the best Red Wedding freak outs ever. Our only joy after watching this episode is watching others react to it.
Ah Sophie, you poor thing. That episode is brutal. I felt guilty for watching you go through that. I'm glad I was alone when I first watched that. Happy birthday.
The infamous Red Wedding. Always a tough watch.
7:52 "This episode's kind of giving me hope"
Classic reaction and yeah this episode broke all of us. I remember throwing my book across the room when I read the Red Wedding chapter
Seems to be a common thing…I threw the book down as well, and left it on the floor for a couple of weeks. The only reason I didn’t stomp on it is because it was a library book!
I THREW MY BOOK TOO!!!
We all threw our books. It's the only appropriate reaction.❤😭
I will forever remember the first time I saw this episode and I've never been the same after.
Same
Sofie, remember we've all been here, and we were metaphorically holding your hand through this episode and the last episode of Buffy - I hope you had some space between filming those two reactions because they both slam dunk everyone's emotions pretty hard. You deserve a break for the rest of your birthday, and I recommend either Young Frankenstein or Galaxy Quest or especially The Emperor's New Groove as an antidote to these reactions. Don't worry, we'll be here when you get back to reactions.
has to be Galaxy Quest... big fan here
If you enjoy Buffy, you may really enjoy the TV show "Firefly," which was produced and co-directed by Buffy producer Joss Wheedon. You'll also see lots of familiar characters from the "Buffy" and "Angel" universe in "Firefly." The only bad thing about "Firefly" was that it was cancelled after less than one season, but every episode, and the movie called "Serenity" which ties up some loose ends, are really spectacular.
oh dont mind me, just randomly opening my YT and seeing Sofie with a new video upload OMGGGG ep 9 CLICK LINK NOW
"Perhaps I've made a terrible mistake" Yes, you did it
Even the passage of time, I still enjoy new people suffering from this scene. Book readers waited for show watchers to experience. Show watchers waited til new reactors experience it.
The day has come. You are no longer a sweet summer child.
Yessssssssssssssss....feel the sublime pain of the "Red Wedding", whilst we cackle dementedly & laugh at your pain & imbibe your tears.
It sustains us till the next reactor sees 3x9. Much like vampires we GOT reactor audiences live eternally, but we must drink the salty Red Wedding tears of the pre 3x9 GOT living to survive. It is our joy....and our curse. 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
The Red Wedding is a legendary scene because it shows off the most realistic aspect of life, "Sometimes, the bad guy wins..."
In a twisted way... this IS a sort of birthday gift. You've just experienced the most gutwrenching blow this show can deliver, not saying there won't be more moments like this, but they all pale next to the Red Wedding. Survive this... and you can survive ANYTHING this show throws at you.
when she said im watching this on my fucking birthday i spat out my juice LOL iw as like GIRL....taht sucks LOL
@@bill7817 What kind of idiot are you?
disagree. there are worse scenes
No one should ever have tears like that on their birthday. Even if it’s “only” over a TV show. I recommend romantic comedy on future birthdays.
"Some day I'm going to put a sword trough your eye and out the back of your skull!"
Sandor: She's the daughter I've always wanted!
I watch Spartan and Pudgey's reaction to GOT and someone suggested your channel there.. I am thanking them now.
Love your reaction.
9:37 "they are all happy, I love it" haha
I've been watching your reactions for several days and knowing what was coming I already felt bad for you.
No matter how many times I watch this show, this episode is the only one that breaks my soul in two every time. Of course there are cruel and sad moments later, but the Red Wedding is never overcome.
The Red Wedding is one of the most well known and infamous episodes in television history. Now that you're a sturdy person of winter you can spend an eternity just watching the thousands of reactions to the Red Wedding episode lol. Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Red Wedding pretty much birthed the TV shows and movies reaction channels as a viable genre. Pay homage!
SoFie reaction was moderate compared to some others.
It kickstarted the whole reaction genre!
@@painlord2k It was a great reaction. You can tell she was genuinely shocked. Everyone doesn't have to yell and scream, some people process emotions by bottling them up. But you can see it in her face. It's exactly how I thought she would react. Some people fake it for the camera by jumping and screaming. But you can't fake the emotion in your face unless you're an Oscar winning actor. You can tell it hit her hard. The video is 15 mins long. That's all you need to know.
@@Rex-rg3ce I truly believe it was genuine and not faked. Both this and "The Body"
The entertaining is seeing how people react differently to the same thing. It is both a personal and a cultural thing.
Now, think about a video of the Red Wedding where the watcher is a pregnant woman. That was a river of tears and understandingly so.
After seeing a few time, The Red Wedding lost much of the effect but "The Body" always hit home.
@@painlord2k Yep. People express themselves in different ways, and it is often dictated by our temperament & also our cultural nuances. As for losing effect, I haven't watched Buffy. Vampires & horror stuff is not really my cup of tea so I can't speak on that. But personally speaking I've watched many Red Wedding reactions & the psychology of it that still hits me hard. In fact that might have to do with the novelty wearing off for you. You probably seen this reaction a lot more times than you've seen people reacting to The Body, because there's a gazillion Red Wedding reactions out there. If you keep seeing something over & over at some point the novelty is bound to wear off.
i been waiting for her to get to this episode lolol we all felt the same when this first aired !
Watching people's soul break when they watch this episode is so satisfying. You are no longer a sweet simmer child.
You also forgot that nobody is safe. In the game of thrones, you win or you die.
The gloves are off now.
Stick with it, definitely worth the ride.
I was so fcking mad. I didn’t even shed a tear because of anger I felt watching this episode.
Between this and Buffy, you've had a hell of a week!
Just keep watching. Love your reacts. This is Hard but you have a long way to go. You will get satisfaction.
she's no longer a sweet summer child :)
In the show you first hear the full song when Bronn and the Lannister soldiers are singing it right before Blackwater. At the end of that episode you hear the marching tune of that song as Tywin makes his legendary entrance in the throne room.Then a whole season later Cersei tells Margaery about the story of House Reyne. The foreshadowing is there in bits and pieces. But everytime so much else is going on it is designed to make those little bits of info feel trivial. Everyone always focus on Joffrey doing something terrible at the Sansa Tyrion wedding, but that one ends up being a red herring. This is the one. "And now the rains weep o'er his hall, with not a soul to hear". System of a Down's Serj Tankian has a live orchestral performance of Rains of Castamere that you can find on youtube. It's so good. It's one of my favorite piece of music from the GoT verse.
Tryion was whistling the tune all the way back in ep 1 or 2 of season 2.
Serj Tankian is a GOD.
@@hjalnelson9579 Oh yeah for sure. Tyrion whistled the tune early on in S2. That's why I said "hear the full song". In the show blackwater is the first time they finally get the chance to insert the song via the singing Lannister soldiers right before battle.
It was actually members of Coldplay in this episode on the balcony playing the song
@@VOX_Games Yes I know. I think we've all watched the Coldplay Musical skit lol. I was talking about Serj's rendition of Castamere. Which in my opinion is the best rendition. It's on youtube him performing in a concert and it's a godly experience.
When Cat screams "LET HIM GO" for a sec I unreasonably think it might actually happen. It's partly due to my own subconscious expectation of the hero to MacGyver his way out of the trickiest situation, and partly due to the sheer conviction in her voice. Her high pitched acting in that scene is more reminiscent of a Shakespeare Broadway play than normal TV acting, but it works, probably cause the whole scene feels like a fever dream. And then of course, it doesn't. It's similar to when Arya sees Greywind and everyone automatically go "oh she's gonna free him". But it's GoT. The dog gets Jon Wicked too.
It was toned down from the books lol
@@ellaphx Not at all. The general consensus from the very beginning was that the show Red Wedding came off even more gruesome than it was in the book. Martin himself has said that. The great acting and the no holds barred visuals amplify the moment, but also for the character Talissa who replaced Jeyne Westerling as Robb's love interest from the book. But yeah, it wasn't toned down at all. It was toned up.
@@Rex-rg3ce I'm talking specifically about Cat's reaction in that moment.
That's exactly how I had felt the first time watching. Can't agree more!
''Fuck this show''.
Some for this, some for other things, but everyone who has ever watched GoT has been there.
Her: I’m about to cry
Me: yes,YES you really are!
In some sadistic manner I always love watching empaths when they get to this particular episode. I cannot help but laugh and cheer for their tears, just because we all went through it ourselves, but I genuinely felt bad when I learned that she was watching it on her birthday. Nobody deserves to spend the rest of their day with the feeling of heartbreak when they are trying to celebrate :(
Why oh why did you decide on an episode 9 for your birthday my sweet summer child? :>
Sending hugs, I watched your reaction to The Body on my lunch, I really hope the recording of both of these were well spaced out for you, thx for sharing both reactions, cheers from Scotland
The book readers kept this secret for three seasons. On the night of airing many set up cameras to record their non-readers friends reactions. This was the real beginning of reacting on you tube. The tradition continues to this very day. The Red Wedding is the death of hope. Now you are truly a child of winter.
Don't worry, sweet summerchild. This episode was the main idea for people recording reactions, and the biggest TH-camr thing ever. And I have good news: season 4 is the best season of this show. It will be the best part of this show, for an entire season.
"This episode is giving me hope."
GOT: Hold my beer.
When they came for Grey Wind... That look on your face, as if "please, someone help me, make this stop" was heart wrenching
I read the book before the show and when this episode aired my family watched it not knowing what will happen and i will admit i enjoyed watching them cry.
9:36 "They're all happy, I love it!" - it's always an experience to watch reactions to the red wedding...
1x6 Viserys : This is the most brutal death I've ever seen. 😆
All of S2 : Robb is such a freakin badass!! Robb, man!! Everytime we get a scene with Robb I just get so impressed. His father would be so proud of him. 😇
3x2 Arya : My family is at Riverrun. You : OMG PLEASE TELL ME THEY'RE GONNA MEET. PLEASE TELL ME THEY'RE GONNA MEET EACH OTHER!!! 🙃
2x3 Yoren : If they keep killing people like this we're gonna run out of characters, seriously!!
99 problems but that's definitely not 1 😅
This episode was so heartbreaking. Say goodbye to our sweet summer child and welcome out new women of winter.
The sweetest of summer children. I knew this one was gonna be a though watch
And thus began the phenomenon now known as the reaction video. They really weren't a "thing" until book readers started recording their friends and family (often surreptitiously) to get their reactions when this episode aired.
Tywin Lannister just murdered a whole wedding and a birthday...both at the same time!
Happy Nameday!
Ah yes the best episode of the whole series for reactors haha... ``This episode is giving me hope``... all these happy remarks before the crap hits the fan... oh boy. Happy birthday btw! You did an epic reaction!
Watching Sophie enjoy the episode made the inevitable ending so much worse 😔 The night is dark and full of terrors
As ramsy said : if you think this has a happy ending ; you haven't been paying attention 😅
It hurts a lot, but you are one of us now. This is a baptism by fire so to speak. Happy Birthday, we love you!
It hurts so much to hear your hopeful happy comments because I know exactly what will happen in the end. We all felt the same way, believe us. I still cry like a toddler at the scene.
14:45 At this point Robb is already dead inside 🥺
Well, whoever recommended Game of Thrones to you was indeed a sadist, and I don't mean episodes like 3x09, but looking at the greater picture of all 8 seasons combined.
3:56 Sofie: "I'm gonna cry"
Me: "Yup. You will. But not for the reasons you think"
This happens mid book in a Storm of swords, it was fuckin wierd finishing the book after that lmao
I have watched several reactions from this episode. You re the only one who recognized the song. Well done.
Happy Birthday Sofie this is one you'll never forget.
To cliché all folks who reach this episode - you are no longer a sweet summer child
Wait, this and "the Body" in a week? Oh bless you
happy birthday tho
Am I the only one whos initial reaction was 'this is f'ing brilliant, no other show would have the balls to do this'? Neds beheading was the major shock for me, after that it was clear we were in for some crazy stuff.
For me, it's about time that something reflects what happens in real life. This episode is the reason why you keep a promise, no matter to cost, cause you'll eventually pay it
Nope, my initial reaction as well, besides "holly fuck, the typical good guys didn't win not only because they made mistakes, but because they are good guys"
I’m sure you aren’t. You’re watching with a level of emotional distance.
"This episode is kind of giving me hope" I can't. ... yes the grin I've had since I saw the thumbnail earlier today confirms I am a sadist.
Awww I'm 10 seconds in and realized she just did her makeup. 😳 Sweet summer child
This show knows how to put a knife straight into your heart
Sending MamaKat hugs. I felt so bad because you were so hopeful. I'm sorry hun
Congratulations. You made it. You are no longer a sweet summer child. Winter is here.
Sofie: Crying
Me: Oh hell yeah! Winter is here
"This episode gives me hope"
Oh boy...
Hang in there girl! This show is a rollercoaster!
Holy crap, I just looked over and saw that apparently you also did Buffy S5E16, "The Body" basically the same time you did this. That must have been quite the experience. I will say what I say to all people I feel sorry for who have gotten to this point... There are moments ahead that are every bit as triumphant and joyous, as this moment was gut wrenching and awful.
“All this misfortune that has befallen my family… it’s all because I couldn’t love a motherless child”
I’m not going to lie, Robb needed to keep his oath to have loyalty. The one episode where there isn’t any music and it’s just Cats scream and then silence…. Oof
I know..... love is not safe in war. Robb Stark, Tyrion, Jon Snow, even Khal Drogo,..... the casualties of love just keep on piling. And all because Littlefinger started a war because he was unsuccessful in love. Kind of makes us appreciate the present peace we all live in, doesn't it? We are free to love.
Love you Sophie. Sorry you had to see this on your birthday. This too shall pass. Yes, we're all sadists for watching someone else suffer through this the same way we did.
I remeber watching this episode saying i was done .i was hurt outraged all of the above came back more invested than ever.
Awww sweet Sophie I’m so sorry. I’ve been nervous about your heart breaking in this episode 😭 please take all the time you need to mourn your boy Robb 😩💔💕
Leave it to Martin to make weddings be the exact opposite of what they are supposed to be in more than one way. Why he wrote the Red Wedding:
I’ve said in many interviews that I like my fiction to be unpredictable. I like there to be considerable suspense. I killed Ned in the first book and it shocked a lot of people. I killed Ned because everybody thinks he’s the hero and that, sure, he’s going to get into trouble, but then he’ll somehow get out of it. The next predictable thing is to think his eldest son is going to rise up and avenge his father. And everybody is going to expect that. So immediately [killing Robb] became the next thing I had to do.
The Red Wedding is based on a couple real events from Scottish history. One was a case called The Black Dinner. The king of Scotland was fighting the Black Douglas clan. He reached out to make peace. He offered the young Earl of Douglas safe passage. He came to Edinburgh Castle and had a great feast. Then at the end of the feast, [the king’s men] started pounding on a single drum. They brought out a covered plate and put it in front of the Earl and revealed it was the head of a black boar - the symbol of death. And as soon as he saw it, he knew what it meant. They dragged them out and put them to death in the courtyard.
The larger instance was the Glencoe Massacre. Clan MacDonald stayed with the Campbell clan overnight and the laws of hospitality supposedly applied. But the Campbells arose and started butchering every MacDonald they could get their hands on. No matter how much I make up, there’s stuff in history that’s just as bad, or worse.”
Oh, and he blames Lord of the Rings author J R R Tolkien for being the cause of his willingness to kill off beloved characters. Known fully as Gandalf the Grey, the wizard sacrifices himself at the end of the first novel, “The Fellowship of the Ring.” Martin explained that seeing such an important character get taken off the chessboard influenced his own murderous writing.
“The minute you kill Gandalf, the suspense of everything that follows is a thousand times greater. Because now anybody could die. Of course that’s had a profound effect on my own willingness to kill characters at the drop of a hat.”
Be ready for more my lady, winter is coming ❄️ 🥶
Oh no, what terrible timing. First, that episode of Buffy, now this.😢
Was just about to write the same. What a strange coincidence!!
She watched the Buffy episode months ago. She only uploaded on TH-cam recently.
@@bluengrey1 But the same applies to this GoT episode,I assume. Also...recently she's getting closer to"your shirt"so...you know...
Graduation day finally arrived and with it, your passage through summer into the beginning of winter. No longer the sweet summer cjhild... now you are a woman of winter
This episode is the holy grail of TV and movie reaction channels. This is really what jumpstarted it all!
