Most idiotic thing in the entire season. On top of having recently bombed countless innocents, murdered the equivalent of the pope, apparently kinslain her own son (which she would be accused of), she is... NOT A SUCCESSOR! Being queen mother gives you 0 claim to become queen sovereign. A total of 0 of the high houses would accept this.

What a joke.
I know it's a joke, but that was a big turnoff for me. She blows several high-profile members of many houses and the head of the faith and people just accept her as queen? That makes zero sense.
yeah, escalator going down lol. There were many other ways to come out on top. She was impatient and emotionally driven. She isn't as smart as she thinks like her father said.
@@waltwhite8126 The writers didn't think of that because this isn't based off of GRRM's work. I haven't read the books because I don't want to just have to sit and wait for the next one, but if the next book ever releases and is better than the show then I'll have no hesitation.
Also, in the books, it seems likely that this Frey Pie event has already happened, as Wyman Manderly (the older hefty guy who declares Jon King in the North) is currently sworn to and basically held hostage by the Freys, but he serves massive pies to the Freys shortly after a few Freys go missing. This is around the same time we get made clear his intentions to betray the Freys and reinstitute the Starks in the North. To quote Wyman Manderly speaking to Ser Davos, "My son Wendel came to the Twins a guest. He ate Lord Walder's bread and salt, and hung his sword upon the wall to feast with friends. And they murdered him. Murdered, I say, and may the Freys choke upon their fables. I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own beloved granddaughter … but never think that means I have forgotten. The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer's farce is almost done. My son is home.”
going from Tommen's suicide to "For House Lannister!" is brillant, reminds me of a book.jaime quote: "I've lost a hand, a father, a son, a sister, and a lover, and soon enough I will lose a brother. And yet they keep telling me House Lannister has won this war"
This episode is the best episode of the series IMO. So many payoffs. Jon becoming King of the North,Arya getting revenge on Walder Frey. Tyrion becoming hand. Dani finally coming to Westeros. The Jon reveal where it transitions from the baby to adult Jon with the Stark theme music gives me chills every time.
Wildfire explosion and eliminating all the Tyrel’s future, King Tommen committing suicide.. so many surprises and loops getting tied together beautifully!
@@Masta1030 and season 7 is more highly rated as an entirety than season 1. Critics can be retarded too lol. Season 7 episode 7 is more highly rated than 31 out of 40 episodes from the first four season ffs.
The name "White Wolf" has a lot of meanings: Bastards of noble houses in Westeros would often use as their personal sigil one with the inverted colors of their original house; House Stark's sigil has a Grey Wolf over a white field, so Jon Snow was supposed to use (if he wanted, but he never did) a White Wolf over a grey field. Even if he never used that, but respected the sigil of Ned Stark, everyone associated Jon, as a bastard, with a white wolf, which is also what his companion Ghost is. Ghost's coloring is also a reference to the almost white hair of the Targaryens, so as a White Wolf Jon is a Targaryen-Stark. And finally, Ghost's white fur and red eyes seem to be in connection with the white bark and red sap of the weirwood trees, which were revered by the descendants of the first men (Jon has 'first men' blood and Valyrian blood). By the way, in the books Jon is also able to warg into Ghost, although he is less skilled at it than Bran.
This comment pissed me off with how well written it is, Jon has all this metaphorical back story to set him up as a "Chosen One" and it's all for nothing in the end
My favorite scene from this episode might just be the amazing acting from Davos. man the emotions from learning about shireen's death was so sad and beautiful
"If your God tells you to burn a little girl, your God is EVIL!" That line stuck with me since the first time I saw it and now watching reactors react to it(if they do) is a secret motivation for me watching GoT reactions.
@@nnotof3218 yes it is. SPOILERS BELOW 1. Sept explosion: still exciting but Cersei faced absolutely no consequences for her actions and better yet received cheers from the citizens in season 7 2. Walder Frey: no issues except it should have been done better, way too rushed with Aryas teleporting to the twins 3. Jon snow: his entire storyline amounted to absolutely nothing, we find out he’s the son of rhaegar and the show hypes this up going forward and in the end this was all for nothing as Jon returns to the nights watch therefore all the buildup was useless 4. Dany: becomes a tyrannical monster at the end of the show and therefore ruins all the excitement of her going to Westeros, all that buildup for her completely thrown out the window by the end of the story 5. Bran: gets these powers after 6 seasons and his only use for them was to determine Jon’s parentage which as I said amounted to absolutely nothing, bran does nothing else with his powers and benefits nobody in the final two seasons in any way and he ends up becoming king even though this is the worst decision.
OMG guys, Jon IS a Stark. His mother is Lyana Stark. He’s Ned’s nephew. The Stark blood runs through his veins. Remember, Ned told him before he went to The Wall, “you may not have my name, but you have my blood”! He’s half Stark, half Targaryen.
@@Shalamuta At this point in the show it's only a spoiler if you haven't been paying attention. Also these videos are old when they're posted. So definitely not spoilers
This episode totally blew me away when it came out I totally was not expecting the reveal with Jon. The hype after this season ended was unreal. Two of the greatest musical pieces from Ramin Djawadi in this episode Light of the Seven and Winds of Winter.
I think you guys need to watch the R + L = J video so you can get what Carter was saying about the clues and hints spread all over the previous seasons about Jon's history.
Also think back to Cersei’s vision from the witch “Gold will be their crowns, Gold.. their shrouds.” All her children’s death’s technically one way or another are all her own fault
The trial scene with the setting, the music, the building tension and the final explosion is my favorite scene from GOT. It's all the more incredible since clues to Cersei's plan had been placed during previous episodes. - Episode 6: at the beginning, Bran has multiple visions of the past and the future, and we see the wild fire spreading underground - Episode 7 : Olenna tells Cersei that she is surrounded by enemies and asks her if she plans to kill them all by herself :) - Episode 8: when Jaime speaks to Edmure in the tent, he tells him Cersei would be ready to reduce cities to ashes for her children - Episode 8: Cersei and Qyburn discuss an "old rumor" that Qyburn's little birds confirmed, saying there was much more than they thought - Episode 9: Tyrion tells Daenerys that the Mad King had scattered caches of wild fire under several places in the city, including the sept of Balor
I just know Aegon I the conqueror is tearing up seeing the last targaryen redoing what he once did , A CONQUEST OF WESTEROS , this is truly where the series should've ended .
@@pal432-m5v And I started reading the books in the early-mid 2000s. I suspected R+L=J by the end of Book 1, but the books still have not confirmed it. (They end with Jon's stabbing and Dany wandering the Great Grass Sea.)
Love her or hate her, that was epic on Cersei's behalf, not even going to lie. Also, Lena Headey (who plays Cersei, has to be the best Actress on the show, the fact she didn't win an award is disgraceful)
@@abhikmoj5853 I think the only one to win was Tyrion. But there was so many others who should have also got an award, like Daenerys, Joffrey, Cersei.. etc
A red comet, or bleeding star, is a herald of the prophesied savior in both the Prince That Was Promised and Azor Ahai legends, so actually dany is the prince that was promised lol.
No, it was Jon who united everyone to fight the dead, he was the one who led the battle. And in the books, both meet requirements, there are many clues linking Jon to the prophecy. GRRM always says that prophecies are confusing and treacherous, they are not literal.
@@vidanointerior1987 dany brought ppl together too lol, the fact is it says when the red comet comes, comes the prince that was promised, now when do u think that comet showed up?? she meets far more requirements than jon💀💀💀
@@vidanointerior1987 I mean i get all interpretations, but how does "When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone" apply to Jon? Melissandre seems to believe it applies to Stannis bc he was born on Dragonstone, but so was Daenerys and she literally fullfieled the 2nd part of the prophecy. Then im sure there will be a twist, but for now all seems to lead to Daenerys (doesnt mean Jon wont get an important role, he might very well be one of the three heads)
There is always a parallel and connection between Dany’s and Jon’s scenes. Both of them lost their lovers and burned their bodies. Both of them came to life from death Dany did it in season 1 finale when she walked in fire and reborn with her dragons and Jon did it after came back to life from stabbed in heart many times. After that both considered “gods” . It makes sense they are “the song of Ice and Fire” the two Azor Ahai and prince/princess who was promised to save the world from the terror of Night and death
The maesters at the Citadel, in Oldtown, observe the data to determine when winter has arrived (the seasons are very irregular in their planet, they last years and years, and they don't know in advance when the transitions will occur). When winter finally arrives, the maesters send white ravens to all big castles in Westeros, to announce it. So just seeing these birds, everybody knows what the message is.

"Dotrhakys crossing the sea?..." Did anyone ever think it was crazy xD I got goosebumps once again seeing Danny on the more than hundreds of ships with his 3 dragons
I hope the people saying these are fake reactions can rest now cause aint no way that was a fake reaction when they saw Tommen jump Rip Margaery, she deserved better
It doesn’t matter how many times I see this episode. Davos makes me cry ever. Damn. Time. This is the best episode of the whole season. There’s so much good stuff.
Jon is of double First Men - Valyryan descent. Rhaenyra's three bastards with Harwin Strong also share the same facial features in the show, as Strongs are a house of First Men, not andals, like most of the riverlords. (They made Jaecerys look like second Jon Snow). Plus, remember, that Rhaegar was married with kids when he abducted teenage Lyanna Stark and died, leaving her pregnant and multipal marriages are forbidden by the law in whole Westeros.
No, a marriage, even if it has heirs, can be annulled by a High Septon. It's very difficult, but possible. And even if it wasn't, the fact is that in the series it was canceled, it is LITERALLY said and shown.
Daenerys coming to Westeros with 3 dragons born from magic and an army of unsullied and dothrakis. She is coming to conquer Westeros as Ageon did. My Queen!!!
16:19 "She narrowed her eyes. "What is our heart's desire?" "Vengeance." His voice was soft, as if he were afraid that someone might be listening. "Justice." Prince Doran pressed the onyx dragon into her palm with his swollen, gouty fingers, and whispered, "Fire and blood."
Jon has always been a Stark on his mom side and even if he now knows that his father is Targaryen (making him the nephew of Danny) nothing would change his belief of his Stark bond
Literally one of the best or even the best episode of the show! Amazing reaction!! 😮 All that insane plot developments, the deaths, the spoken lines. I mean even something simple as "Fire & Blood". Damn Powerful. I am really looking forward to the coming reactions to this incredible show, well done boys. 👀
As you rewatch the seasons over, season 2-4 are the best to rewatch. Season 6 is pure dopamine fuel, when you know what happens, it doesn't hit the same and the holes and lacking great dialogue really makes you appreciate the older seasons much more. The dialogue, the strategic politics, and the great character development through the older seasons never get's old.
*WE BEEN SAYIN SEASON 6 COOKED!* I absolutely respect and appreciate the distinction between "better" and "favorite" seasons, too. Season 4 is SO GOOD.
R + L = J finally revealed, Jon being a Targaryen was a pretty long running theory and when it was officially paid off in this episode we all lost our minds and then immediately after Jon was named King in the North, fantastic episode for Jon fans
Jamie should have killed Cersei at the end. I will keep saying this every time the topic of Cersei's death is brought up. He should have said "the things we do for love" after killing her, symbolizing that by killing her, he was saying not only the world which he loves but also saving her from herself.
In the books, it's obvious the prince is Daenerys and not john. She's the only one who actually does check ALL the needed requirements of the prophecy. born amidst smoke and salt (She did - dragonstone. Jon didn't) under bleeding stars (The only instance of bleeding star we hear in books is the star under which her dragons were born) are the song of ice and fire, and will wake dragons out of stone (which she literally did) and the dragon will have three heads. (yup, she has 3 of them) The legendary warrior will also draw a burning sword, Lightbringer, from the fire. (The "sword" isn't a literal sword, but a DRAGON. Dragon is the burning sword, legendary weapon to kill the others. Dragon is LIGHTBRINGER. And she "drew" it from the fire.) Also the sacrifice of Nissa Nissa? Obviously Khal Drogo. There is a lot of fan theory about this problem. Martin is the only one to know and he will reveal it in his last book ( but i think it's dany and not john)
Even George said to not take prophecies literally. Jon's checks are subtle and more metaphorical in comparison with Daenerys. When Jon was revivified with Melissandre's, there was smoke and salt, had blood in there (you could interpret tha red star bleeding in two ways: "red star bleeding" was Melissandre since she was a "red star" for Lord of Light and "bleeding" would be more like she was disappinted and disbelief about her faith/god or when Jon was born, Ned was fighting Arthur Dayne who's sigil was a falling star (red star bleeding)) Quoting someone about the "waking dragons" thing: There is also much made of waking dragons from stone. This is where a lot of people think Dany is AA because she hatched literal dragons, but GRRM in the past has used dragons in a metaphorical sense: it’s always a human symbolized by a dragon, not an actual dragon. The “stone” part is also interesting because it also works on a more metaphorical level. All of the surviving Stark children are in some way tied to “stone” as a motif for their hidden identities/locations: Bran is in a stone cave north of the Wall; Arya is in the stone-built city of Braavos; Rickon is on the island of Skagos, a word that means “stone” in the old tongue; and Sansa is masquerading as the bastard Alayne Stone. If “stone” is what hides or protects the kids - all of them are on the run, in hiding and/or shielding their true identities - then a “stone dragon” would be a hidden Targaryen, which is what Jon is. Awakening a stone dragon -> Jon realizing and coming into his true identity, while also tying back to the Starks, since he shares the “stone” motif with his cousins. And the list go on, both of them have all the requirements.
Not enough reactors appreciate Cersei's saying "Shame. Shame. Shame.", as she leaves the High Septon cell. I loved it and burst out laughing. 🔔 🔔 🔔 The Normies reaction to episode 6 x 10 is my favorite.
the funny part is Olenna is the one who gave cercei the idea to kill them all herself. She thought of a way to do it=D it was the scene where Olenna says "you must be the worst person I ever met" because she also said "what are you going to do, kill them all yourself?"
Baby to Jon transition gave me the biggest goosebumps and emotions for some reason
"Chaos is a ladder", but Cersei bombing the sept is a f**king escalator.
Most idiotic thing in the entire season. On top of having recently bombed countless innocents, murdered the equivalent of the pope, apparently kinslain her own son (which she would be accused of), she is... NOT A SUCCESSOR! Being queen mother gives you 0 claim to become queen sovereign. A total of 0 of the high houses would accept this. Yet the show wants you to believe that someone with no support from nobility, no support from commoners, no support from the overwhelmingly dominant religion in the realm, known murderer, no claim to the throne, widely accused of incest, apparent kinslayer (great cultural crime) slides into being a ruler without an ounce of resistance... What a joke.
I know it's a joke, but that was a big turnoff for me. She blows several high-profile members of many houses and the head of the faith and people just accept her as queen? That makes zero sense.

There is always a parallel and connection between Dany’s and Jon’s scenes. Both of them lost their lovers and burned their bodies. Both of them came to life from death Dany did it in season 1 finale when she walked in fire and reborn with her dragons and Jon did it after came back to life from stabbed in heart many times. After that both considered “gods” . It makes sense they are “the song of Ice and Fire” the two Azor Ahai and prince/princess who was promised to save the world from the terror of Night and death
A chain of dead sparrows around her neck, she called it
The maesters at the Citadel, in Oldtown, observe the data to determine when winter has arrived (the seasons are very irregular in their planet, they last years and years, and they don't know in advance when the transitions will occur). When winter finally arrives, the maesters send white ravens to all big castles in Westeros, to announce it. So just seeing these birds, everybody knows what the message is.
"How is Varys back already??"
.
.... "Yes" 😂😂😂
why do everyone say Jon is not a stark when his dam mom is Lyanna Stark lmao

"Dotrhakys crossing the sea?..." Did anyone ever think it was crazy xD
I got goosebumps once again seeing Danny on the more than hundreds of ships with his 3 dragons
You just saw Oldtown with its Tower, the seat of House *Hightower* from House of the Dragon hehe.
I hope the people saying these are fake reactions can rest now cause aint no way that was a fake reaction when they saw Tommen jump
Rip Margaery, she deserved better
And kudos to you guys because I’ve watched several reactions to this episode specifically and I’ve never seen Jon being a Targaryen so fast!
Arya is a menace i love her😂
When they watch R+J (both versions) Carter will be able to see exactly what he was talking about.
Now you know why they call it King's Landing...
I was about to say that this is such an old joke…
But then I actually started laughing so…😂
I agree this was my literal favourite season. And this episode 6x10 is the best episode of game of thores for me
It doesn’t matter how many times I see this episode. Davos makes me cry ever. Damn. Time.
This is the best episode of the whole season. There’s so much good stuff.
For tha record, Varys dipped earlier on to Dorne and Sunspear isnt all that far from Slavers Bay when you look at it
Jon is of double First Men - Valyryan descent.
Rhaenyra's three bastards with Harwin Strong also share the same facial features in the show, as Strongs are a house of First Men, not andals, like most of the riverlords. (They made Jaecerys look like second Jon Snow).
Plus, remember, that Rhaegar was married with kids when he abducted teenage Lyanna Stark and died, leaving her pregnant and multipal marriages are forbidden by the law in whole Westeros.
No, a marriage, even if it has heirs, can be annulled by a High Septon. It's very difficult, but possible. And even if it wasn't, the fact is that in the series it was canceled, it is LITERALLY said and shown.
I knew y'all would love this episode and y'all did not disappoint!
remember the joy this season finale gave you, because its the last good episode of the full show. the last one that makes sense.
That was the Hightower's high tower in the shot of Oldtown.
Great reaction guys ❤
12:58 Fun fact, the Maester’s glasses are believed to be the flashing elements in the GOT theme as the song is beginning.
Daenerys coming to Westeros with 3 dragons born from magic and an army of unsullied and dothrakis. She is coming to conquer Westeros as Ageon did. My Queen!!!
If only they would have made more seasons we would’ve got to see what’s going to happen next 😢
Can't wait for you guys to get to Season 8.
“he’s just not Ned’s bastard, still a bastard”
“uh about that..”
Well they are not wrong he is still a bastard
16:19
"She narrowed her eyes. "What is our heart's desire?"
"Vengeance." His voice was soft, as if he were afraid that someone might be listening. "Justice." Prince Doran pressed the onyx dragon into her palm with his swollen, gouty fingers, and whispered, "Fire and blood."
I wish they made more episodes after this
To sad they didn’t 😢
And this is where it all ended, my guys
One of the sickest episodes of the series. 💯💪😁
Jon has always been a Stark on his mom side and even if he now knows that his father is Targaryen (making him the nephew of Danny) nothing would change his belief of his Stark bond
Literally one of the best or even the best episode of the show! Amazing reaction!! 😮 All that insane plot developments, the deaths, the spoken lines.
I mean even something simple as "Fire & Blood". Damn Powerful. I am really looking forward to the coming reactions to this incredible show, well done boys. 👀
As you rewatch the seasons over, season 2-4 are the best to rewatch.
Season 6 is pure dopamine fuel, when you know what happens, it doesn't hit the same and the holes and lacking great dialogue really makes you appreciate the older seasons much more.
The dialogue, the strategic politics, and the great character development through the older seasons never get's old.
a lot of people watch R+L=J after S7, I think its best to watch it now
There’s poetry in Tommen dying the same way Bran was crippled.
Winds of winter is the best episode of television I’ve ever seen and probably ever will see
The score in this episode is absolutely goated. Ramin Djawadi absolutely cooked it
Truly "King's Landing" now
This episode has the best soundtrack...
Season 7 is still pretty good. Lowest rated episode on IMDB is an 8,5.
Right it was honestly the rushed cramped writing for the last season that fucks the whole thing up
3 episodes in , carter isnt a fan of it
*WE BEEN SAYIN SEASON 6 COOKED!* I absolutely respect and appreciate the distinction between "better" and "favorite" seasons, too. Season 4 is SO GOOD.
I agree. Season 6 is stronger than most give it credit for. Definitely in my top 3 seasons of GOT
its worse than people think
R + L = J finally revealed, Jon being a Targaryen was a pretty long running theory and when it was officially paid off in this episode we all lost our minds and then immediately after Jon was named King in the North, fantastic episode for Jon fans
Am I the only person who watched the show without constantly trying to guess what's going to happen next??? I love to be surprised!
Jamie should have killed Cersei at the end. I will keep saying this every time the topic of Cersei's death is brought up. He should have said "the things we do for love" after killing her, symbolizing that by killing her, he was saying not only the world which he loves but also saving her from herself.
you know it's serious when Light of the Seven piano starts playing
Cinema Gek with 100% more leg slaps
There was so much hype after this episode. Plus the trailer for season 7 was amazing. It all came down pretty quickly tho
Cersei just Michael Corleoned King's Landing.
Insane that you saw old town first is GOT than in HOTD
In the books, it's obvious the prince is Daenerys and not john. She's the only one who actually does check ALL the needed requirements of the prophecy.
born amidst smoke and salt (She did - dragonstone. Jon didn't)
under bleeding stars (The only instance of bleeding star we hear in books is the star under which her dragons were born)
are the song of ice and fire, and will wake dragons out of stone (which she literally did)
and the dragon will have three heads. (yup, she has 3 of them)
The legendary warrior will also draw a burning sword, Lightbringer, from the fire. (The "sword" isn't a literal sword, but a DRAGON. Dragon is the burning sword, legendary weapon to kill the others. Dragon is LIGHTBRINGER. And she "drew" it from the fire.)
Also the sacrifice of Nissa Nissa? Obviously Khal Drogo.
There is a lot of fan theory about this problem. Martin is the only one to know and he will reveal it in his last book ( but i think it's dany and not john)
Even George said to not take prophecies literally.
Jon's checks are subtle and more metaphorical in comparison with Daenerys.
When Jon was revivified with Melissandre's, there was smoke and salt, had blood in there (you could interpret tha red star bleeding in two ways: "red star bleeding" was Melissandre since she was a "red star" for Lord of Light and "bleeding" would be more like she was disappinted and disbelief about her faith/god or when Jon was born, Ned was fighting Arthur Dayne who's sigil was a falling star (red star bleeding))
Quoting someone about the "waking dragons" thing:
There is also much made of waking dragons from stone. This is where a lot of people think Dany is AA because she hatched literal dragons, but GRRM in the past has used dragons in a metaphorical sense: it’s always a human symbolized by a dragon, not an actual dragon. The “stone” part is also interesting because it also works on a more metaphorical level. All of the surviving Stark children are in some way tied to “stone” as a motif for their hidden identities/locations: Bran is in a stone cave north of the Wall; Arya is in the stone-built city of Braavos; Rickon is on the island of Skagos, a word that means “stone” in the old tongue; and Sansa is masquerading as the bastard Alayne Stone. If “stone” is what hides or protects the kids - all of them are on the run, in hiding and/or shielding their true identities - then a “stone dragon” would be a hidden Targaryen, which is what Jon is. Awakening a stone dragon -> Jon realizing and coming into his true identity, while also tying back to the Starks, since he shares the “stone” motif with his cousins.
And the list go on, both of them have all the requirements.
Amazing episode!
The timing of this episode being posted I-
Jon’s mother is a Stark so yes he technically does have their blood💯
You are right Brig... 6x10 is an absolute cinema 🎥 it's nothing short of a 10/10
Not enough reactors appreciate Cersei's saying "Shame. Shame. Shame.", as she leaves the High Septon cell. I loved it and burst out laughing. 🔔 🔔 🔔
The Normies reaction to episode 6 x 10 is my favorite.
9 and 10, best eps of TV ever made
You know: "GEK" means crazy in Dutch🙃
All the best from the Netherlands!
the funny part is Olenna is the one who gave cercei the idea to kill them all herself. She thought of a way to do it=D it was the scene where Olenna says "you must be the worst person I ever met" because she also said "what are you going to do, kill them all yourself?"
