@@manuelodonnell1148 I’m glad that Margaery isn’t brainwashed and is playing the game, but I am really worried for her because now that she has sent Lady Olenna home, she now has no allies. Tommen and Mace(her dad) are both not doing well, Loras is still locked up, there is no way Cersei will help the queen and that septa is following her like a Hawk.
@tunderdiamant I think in terms of GoT he is. Dinklage just won his, what, third emmy from a season in which he did absolutely nothing. It's all Dinklage and Headey, maybe occasionally Coster-Waldau and Rigg sneaks in on the conversation.
Tormund is a great example of GRRM's famous saying: "A villain is the hero of the other side." If true, the opposite is as well. For the Freefolk, Jon Snuuh, LC Mormont, Samwell, Edd, etc. = villains. Jorah once viewed Viserys & Daenerys as villains-in-training & King Robert as the hero. Jaime embodies this totally: his most heroic act labeled him a villain forever. GRRM was deeply ambivalent about Vietnam; his profound anti-war stance & the absurdity of who we consider a "hero" vs. "villain" colors all his works. "Violence is a disease. You don't cure it by spreading it to more people."
Certainly true, but IMO Jorah is too cynical to look at people this way. I don't think he believes in heroes and villains. "Violence is a disease. You don't cure it by spreading it to more people." Well, that line is a bit of a cop-out. Being passive is not a solution to violence.
Just for the backstory : The scene between Jaime Lannister and the Blackfish is kind of heartbreaking. When he was a kid, Jaime was a big fan of the Blackfish; following him everywhere. The Blackfish was a badass warrior. Jaime wanted to be like him. So, here we are, decades later, with the Blackfish saying "I wanted to get the measure of you (...) and I'm disappointed". It's terrible for Jaime.
I got that feeling from the acting in the scene, and I've never read the books and had no idea about the backstory. He seemed like his opinion was important to him, maybe, with his success and effort thus far he was trying to impress him, seeking a form of approval he never got the chance to get from Tywin.
Late reply, but this is also one of the very few parts of season 6 that is taken from the books. I guess it was supposed to take place during season 5, but they had to push it forward after deciding to send Jaime to Dorne
Thanks for the context. Late reply, but I've only recently watched this for the first time and haven't read the books. Knowing this adds a bit more to Jaime's reaction when he asks that soldier to bring him the Blackfish, only to hear that he died fighting. He's noticeably saddened, and learning that there's admiration there that goes so far back makes it more impactful.
Do you remember we heard of Lady Lyanna Mormont from Stannis? When he asks Jon “do you know this wretched child?” And gives him the scroll that Lady Lyanna wrote “we know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark” ❤️ Lady Lyanna is the BEST lol
I remember that moment!! Seemed like almost a throwaway but GoT is known for not throwing anything away, and I reacted a lot like Stannis - "dam, who TF said that?" It really stood out as some straight up G level defiance! Love how when Jon was about to "remind" her what the note said, she interrupted with, "I know what it said!" You KNOW she personally dictated that reply, and her advisors were like, "Dam straight, my lady."
@@thedeejaeebee5babee She didn't dictate it; she wrote it. Google the letter. Look at the uneven lines, the differently sized letters. The capital N in North is large enough, but is shaped like a small n, the rk in Stark are as big as capital letters. The g in King is of a fancy shape but not very gracefully drawn. Stark is embolded, and most notably, the comma is huge. That's a child's handwriting. And she even forgot to write a signature. If she had been dictating, the writer would have signed it formally in her name. Everything points to her having written it personally. :D
@@SelvesteSand Okay, I revise my last sentence: You KNOW she personally wrote that letter and if her advisors hypothetically read it as well for whatever reason, they probably figuratively thought, "Dam straight, my Lady." You're right, the accuracy makes it so much funnier! To me, anyway, I often am the only one laughing.
Doesn't she say "I killed him", gets smacked, and keeps going because she knows it's a lie? When she says she hated him and gets smacked is when she fights it and says "it's not a lie, I hated him" and gets smacked again. Somewhere in there is when she also says "I'm glad he's dead" and gets another snack, furthering the proof that she's lying to herself about hating him. It ends with her saying "I'm not playing your stupid game anymore!" So, when she gets hit for saying that she kills him she does not argue about it because she knows it's a lie and knows she trying to lie. She fights getting smacked with the "I hated him" part because that was the lie she wanted to believe. That is the lie that really upsets her and keeps getting her smacked for. She does get hit for saying that she killed him, but that's not what she keeps getting smacked over, not what she's upset about, and not really relevant. The entire point of that scene was that she no longer hated the Hound, no matter how much she wants to. She finally accepts it and we see her demeanor change from the last time he's mentioned to when the waif says "tell me about the Hound" the next time she plays the game. She's actually trying to play the game. When she says she killed the Hound, she is playing the game. Poorly, but playing. She knows she's lying, we know she's lying, Jaqen knows she's lying. She is attempting to play the game and get away with the lie. When she says she hated him, she's really just lying to herself and thinks it's the truth. They used Jaqen catching her on the killing him lie to show us, as an audience, Jaqen knows when she's telling the truth or not. When she gets smacked the next time, for saying that she hated the Hound, we know it's really a lie. That's literally the only reason that line is even in there. It is a way for writers to point you in the direction they want you to look without blatantly spelling it out for you.
One mistake you made. Arya never said she killed The Hound.. She said she left him there to suffer because she hated him.. That was the lie. She said he begged her to kill him, not that she did.
It is to be noted, that the waif wasn't fit to be no one either, since they require zero emotional attachment and she simply hated Arya. Jacken specifically told her "don't let her suffer" and she stabbed Arya in the belly just to ensure a slow and painful death. Also, hide your chickens, cause Clegane is back xD.
Let's be honest this couple reactions are boring and bland I've watched so many people's reactions and this couple are like emotionless and they don't pick up on things quickly not very smart I jus can't believe 362k people like watching them say "oh man that crazy wtf" in an emotionless tone
Funny thing is, if you ever see any scenes or publicity shots of Dame Diana Rigg from back during her time on "The Avengers" in the 60s, you see why Natalie Dormer was good casting as Margery. She looks like she could be Dame Diana's granddaughter, the resemblance is that good.
I always remember her from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but yes, they do look strikingly similar. Here's another funny familial fact that I found out recently; the actor who played Ser Rodrik Cassel and the actor who plays Podrick Payne are father and son in real life.
@@josh420masterB I can't remember what Shakespeare play it was, but it was on PBS the other day and Diana Rigg's in it along with Helen Mirren and I swear to God a young Janos Slynt is also in it. I even looked it up but could not find anything about him being in it so maybe I'm wrong and he just has a brother or someone who looks a lot like him or a young version of him.
I saw a few of the pictures of Diana Rigg from that time, and one picture made my eyes widen so much I physically felt the strain on my face! The first thing I thought was "time travel?!?" If Dormond was alive back then they could be twins, easily.
Surely Natalie Dormer was cast first, as Olenna didn't appear until season 4. Maybe D&D realized she looked like Diana Rigg and that's why they thought of casting Diana Rigg as Olenna. Also, if you ever see any scenes with Natalie Dormer in Game of Thrones, you see why she was a good casting as Margaery. ;)
JH didn't snack Arya for saying she killed the Hound. He smacked her for saying she HATED the Hound. She was lying to herself saying she still hated him when she doesn't actually hate him anymore. She hadn't for a long time.
Do you remember when Stannis was offering to Jon to name him Stark? This was back when he was preparing attack on Winterfell, and he was trying to gather the forces as well, including northern houses. He then showed to Jon a scroll saying "We know no king, but King in the North, whose name is Stark", signed by Lady Lyanna Mormont. This is why Stannis made his tempting offer basically, he needed a Stark to rally northern houses to his cause.
I understand House Glover’s response to Jon & Sansa. It sucks, but I can understand how they feel from their POV. I think this episodes title applies to several men/ppl in this episode, but I also think it applies to Rob & his legacy. Listening to the guy from House Glover speak about Rob & House Stark just shows how that one decision broke Rob’s connection with the north, not just the Frey’s. And right now, House Stark is broken. I hate that that is how Rob will be remembered and that most people in the north view House Stark as ‘dead’. It made me feel sad for Jon & Sansa, for them to hear how ppl feel about/remember their brother and House Stark.
I liked Rob, but he was foolish to go back on his word and honor for a woman he barely met. His whole country was riding on his decisions, and he threw it all away. It seems to me that there is a lot of karma that goes on in this show with terms to honor. I personally think the Stark's string of bad luck started when Ned beheaded the guy in the beginning without a second's thought. To bad he didn't give that man a change like he did with Cersei.
the rose is the sigil of their house. Their words are growing strong. Giving Olenna the rose signifies that marge hasn't lost her way and is doing what she needs to do for the sake of her house and herself
What I really hated about Arya getting stabbed there is the fact that she knows how dangerous the faceless men are and she was told that it was her last chance and they knew when she didn't kill who she was suppose to before and in spite of knowing all that she walks around nonchalantly without a care in the world.
By the way, you guys do what you need to do to keep Steven sane and to put out videos that you can be proud of. We will be here cheering you on. You are both amazing!
Fun fact: Ser Meryn Trant’s death was the most expensive death in the history of GoT. The makeup and effects work was spectacular. Also, Valar Morghulis.
This is, yet again, another reason why I am immediately uneasy when good things start happening to characters I love. The Hound is back!!!! Big props to Ian McShane for his brief but excellent cameo. You two are great!! Lady Mormont is soooooooo awesome too!!!
I’m glad Arya didn’t kill someone she had no issues with because it shows that there’s still some sort of humanity in her. People need to give her a break, she’s a kid. Anyway, I’m so glad the Hound is back. Lady Lyanna Mormont is a savage. As far as Arya’s stabbing, I’m with Steven. I don’t care how she survives, I just want her to.
Episode titled "The Broken Man"? Have to post the "Broken Man" speech from the books, one of the best speeches ever, which isn't in the show. No plot spoilers (except for the speech). The character giving the speech is not in the show, but there are parallels between him and brother Ray (who is not in the books). "Ser? My lady?" said Podrick. "Is a broken man an outlaw?" "More or less," Brienne answered. Septon Meribald disagreed. "More less than more. There are many sorts of outlaws, just as there are many sorts of birds. A sandpiper and a sea eagle both have wings, but they are not the same. The singers love to sing of good men forced to go outside the law to fight some wicked lord, but most outlaws are more like this ravening Hound than they are the lightning lord. They are evil men, driven by greed, soured by malice, despising the gods and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous. Almost all are common-born, simple folk who had never been more than a mile from the house where they were born until the day some lord came round to take them off to war. Poorly shod and poorly clad, they march away beneath his banners, ofttimes with no better arms than a sickle or a sharpened hoe, or a maul they made themselves by lashing a stone to a stick with strips of hide. Brothers march with brothers, sons with fathers, friends with friends. They've heard the songs and stories, so they go off with eager hearts, dreaming of the wonders they will see, of the wealth and glory they will win. War seems a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know. "Then they get a taste of battle. "For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they've been gutted by an axe. "They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take a wound, and when that's still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from the marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water. "If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they're fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it's just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don't know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they're fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world . . . "And the man breaks. "He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them . . . but he should pity them as well." When Meribald was finished a profound silence fell upon their little band. Brienne could hear the wind rustling through a clump of pussywillows, and farther off the faint cry of a loon. She could hear Dog panting softly as he loped along beside the septon and his donkey, tongue lolling from his mouth. The quiet stretched and stretched, until finally she said, "How old were you when they marched you off to war?" "Why, no older than your boy," Meribald replied. "Too young for such, in truth, but my brothers were all going, and I would not be left behind. Willam said I could be his squire, though Will was no knight, only a potboy armed with a kitchen knife he'd stolen from the inn. He died upon the Stepstones, and never struck a blow. It was fever did for him, and for my brother Robin. Owen died from a mace that split his head apart, and his friend Jon Pox was hanged for rape." "The War of the Ninepenny Kings?" asked Hyle Hunt. "So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was a war, though. That it was."
In the Season 6 lore in Blu-Ray, Brother Rey narrates on "The War of the Ninepenny Kings" and much of what he says in that video, particularly his background, is taken directly from this speech.
@Nikki and Steven Very late comment, but I have a question for you: You know how Tommen loves Margaery a lot? Well do you think that Margaery even likes him back, whilst still manipulating him? She hasn’t brought any harm to Tommen at all yet and she also has given him win win solutions in her schemes.
I used those exact words to my husband, when we watched this episode! The comment you made, Nikki, about the sixty-TWO men. All the way through your comment, Steve, about it being the strength of 10 men each! I caught your channel during the last season, and immediately fell in love with you guys! You are such a great joy to watch! Even though Game of Thrones is over for me, I just HAD to go back, and watch EVERY single reaction of yours, and so far, I am so very happy that I did! You GOT this, Nikki! I am the same as you....a very emotional, kind spirit, and it is amazing to see that we have so many of the same reactions! Wishing that I knew you guys, IRL, because you are both such great people! Thank you, so very much, for all the work that you do with this channel! I for one, will ALWAYS be your fan! And I think I am going to have to go watch the other series that you guys react to, just so that I can continue to watch you! Keep smiling! You are doing great!!!
I love Steven's "Jon Snooooh!" but I think Nikki is relishing in her ability to correctly pronounce "Jaqen H'ghar"! 😂😂😂 It just rolls of her tongue as smoothly as a fine wine!
I figured you guys would love Lyanna. Shouldn’t surprise me how tough she is, given her family line. I love that Arya maintains her morals. I think that’s really what keeps her from being no one. She can’t just cast her heart aside.
Steven and Nikki, take as long as you need! I really enjoy these videos, and don't mind at all waiting for quality. As for some of the questions brought up... Brother Ray was helping the people of the countryside recover from the war. Part of that was making sure corpses were buried properly and given their last prayers. That is how he came upon the Hound. Lady Mormont is 11 years old, and like Bran did when Robb left Winterfell, took over as the last Mormont on Bear Island. And Lady Olena recognized that Margaery was still devoted to House Tyrell when she saw the house sigil: The Rose. Thank you again! Your videos are so fun to watch! Valar Morghulis!
Not a spoiler, just a fun tidbit: Lyanna Mormont may be Tormund's daughter. why? because Tormund always talks about fng a bear. Well the only adult female from Bear Island that we have seen was Maege Mormont, head of Bear Island. She's about Tormund's age (or was - she died fighting with Robb). And House Mormont is known in the books to be skinchangers. You saw Maege sitting next to Glover at one of the big banquet hall scenes in season 2 when the heads of houses were discussing initial strategy.
@@manuelodonnell1148 That, and the fact that they have female house heads without anyone batting an eye, plus THEIR child rulers are wise, as opposed to insanely twisted and cruel, or weak and easily influenced (--cough cough, Lannisters, cough cough--). Lyanna is younger than Joffrey or Tommen, and I daresay she's doing a heck of a lot better job ruling.
King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England thats is not how House Mormont operates. The books say the men were always at sea and the women held it down. Now if a particularly charming redhead sailed around the west coast to bear island and came upon a particularly charming warrior woman he would make her slick as a baby seal. Heh. No wonder he thinks Brienne is his kind of woman.
I've always wondered if the actress was a test for Arya or if the test was really for the waif. Arya didn't do what she was told, but neither did the waif in this scene. Jaqen asked Arya if death only came for the wicked? However, he also told her the history of the Faceless Men. The first was a slave called no one and they started as vengeance against their slave owners. Seemingly, only killing the wicked or slaves that ASKED for death. The people that come to the house of black and white ASK for death (or their guardian does). So, who is really being tested here? Is it Arya and whether or not she'll go through with killing someone she doesn't see as wicked? Is it the waif? Is she really committed to the faceless men or will she just kill Arya, without question and the way she feels like doing it, because she's told to? Is it a test for both of them at the same time? I want answers.
@@lastofusclips5291 I added that because every time I post something really long I spend 20 minutes editing it LOL. That's actually what reminded me of this whole thing. I can't remember if it was Nikki or Steve, but one of them mentioned Jaqen saying for her to not suffer and then I remembered that theory.
I totally agree. I always thought the waif seemed too blood-thirsty and sociopathic to be what the Faceless Men are supposed to be. They don't torture their victims. They seem to kill quickly and cleanly. They don't enjoy it. It is simply their duty to the Many-faced God.
@@michellerhoades8774 I always felt the same way with jaqen asking does death only come for the wicked? I'm like, but that's literally not what you just explained with the start of the faceless men. Like I get that purposes get twisted throughout the years, but it still seems really off from explaining the history to what you are now. You were like good assassins that took out bad people but now we're expected to believe that you're just taken out anyone for whatever reason? Is this some sort of test? Feels like a test.
Steven, you should do the schedule that works for you. I know everyone is asking for more episodes, but now one wants you guys to get burned out and not be enjoying the process and watching the shows. I think you are right in that you will need extra days next week to get through the last 2 episodes of this season. Also, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions for shows to watch. Deadwood and Rome, both are HBO shows. The only problem is they both ended after being cancelled and so they feel like they didn't end how you want. However they both have great characters and stories. The guy who played Ray in this episode is a main character in Deadwood and he did an amazing job with his character. Just a couple of suggestions and definitely don't let the process run you down to the point of not enjoying doing the videos because I think you guys do great and it has been fun watching your reactions and knowing that is how I probably looked when I was watching the first time.
Totally get it with the schedule. You guys are doing an amazing job. No issues what so ever with only two vids this week of GoT. Don't tire yourself out Steven, you're already doing a lot!
Arya isn't the terminator, she still has a shred of human decency left. The waif hates Arya, hence why she is dragging out the whole thing. She was never teaching her, it was pretty well-tormenting someone she didn't like. Also, what did Sandor do as a child to warrant punishment? He's called the Hound but think of a beat dog who is sent out to attack people. He isn't really bad in his core, but it is what he was taught and made into. There is a shred of human decency in him still. Lyanna Mormont is awesome! Absolutely love her! Also, Jaime Lannister is one you can count as broken but have you noticed that Jamie, Sandor, Jon, and Theon are all broken in some way but they are on a redemption arc. It doesn't mean that they are going to alignment shift to lawful good but they have a chance to do the right thing. Sansa was never taught the things that a noble lady in Westeros should have been taught by her mother. Margery was taught what power she has and how to use it, also she was taught critical thinking skills. Sansa, on the other hand, had to endure six bloody seasons of pain in order to learn those skills the hard way. Margery is doing what she must to survive because she is at the mercy of a religious zealot and a husband who is a weakling. When Tyrion said that Westeros has had cruel rulers and idiot rulers he was not kidding because Joffrey and Cersei are a lot closer than you might think. Cersei is cruel and nowhere near as bright as she thinks, not to mention she didn't start murdering people when she offed Robert. (This isn't a spoiler was just deleted from the show and wont show up) The girl who went with Cersei to see the witch was her best friend and had asked if she would marry Jaime. The witch told her that no, she would not, and that she would die and that death was so close that she could smell its breath. Cersei pushed her down a well on the way back to Casterly Rock killing her so she wouldn't get with Jaime. Joffrey was an evil seed from an evil tree and I am fairly certain that Myrcella and Tommen took after Jaime instead of their mother. Anyhow, I understand what it is to be exhausted and unable to put out content. I for one look forward to your videos and love every minute. One thing about this series is that it only gets better the further along you go, see the both of you on Thursday!
Stomach wounds take a long time to kill a person generally...plus the weapon used was a stiletto, a very long slim blade, instead of a large blade, so the wounds are deep but not huge gashes that will take weeks and weeks to heal...
Started watching you guys around 2 weeks ago. Y’all are awesome! My boyfriend and I did the same thing of waiting and watching all the seasons at once. This show is a wild ride!
Just recovering from an operation at the moment. A new GOT video from you guys is just the thing I need to make me feel much better. Love your reactions and appreciate so much the hard work that you put in.
I watched your reaction to s1 s1 last Thursday and I've binged to catch up to here. You can split your reactions however you want. A man will wait for notifications and watch immediately.
Almost there guys! I love how Nikki says "I just take care of the kids and the house".........that's a HUGE responsibility and one I know well! You are both amazing! xxx
the hound. not as dead as you think. if theres no body they aint dead. oh... id completly forgot this is the episode you meet lyanna mormont...the little girl who makes chuck norris hide under his bed. davos is really good. lady mormont likes him which means he doesnt have to live in fear. i love you guys!
Yes!!! I have been waiting for you guys to see the hound alive all weekend. Watching episode 6 last Thursday knowing id have to wait 5 days to see it was brutal......lol 😍
8:12 and 8:15 - the moments Nikki recalls what Steven is referring to (re: maybe the Faceless men knew the Hound wasn't dead) . It's so expressive on her face! And good call indeed, Steven, nice catch!!
Thanks for the two episodes that you do this week. You set the schedule so please don't let it stress you out. You've got lives along with the rest of us so don't worry about getting the rest of the episodes out fast, there's not many left so you taking your time on them is a great idea. There's some banging episodes coming up and you'll want to savour them, I'm looking forward to seeing you watch them for the first time and there's no rush. Loving your reactions, such a fab couple, thanks so much x x x
Hey guys! You really spoiled us with all the videos you putting out. You do them in your own time because, I want to see you enjoying this whole thing as much as I do. Love you!
![He’s back! | GAME OF THRONES [6x7] (REACTION)](/img/n.gif)
Every chicken in Westeros should be worried, the hound is back!
That includes you Petr Baelish!
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Hide your chickens, hide your ale, because the hound is eating everything up in here
Ian Mcshane. What a legend!
"You really wanna die over some chickens?"
"Someone is.."
Hardest line of the show
Best line from this episode: "If they [Men from Bear Island] are half as ferocious as their lady, the Boltons are doomed." LOL 😄
I seriously adore Ser Dadvos!
@@amysinyard2239 He is an insanely good actor. There has not been a single film I have seen with him, that I didn't love his acting.
"if the gods are real, why haven't they punished me?"
In case you didn’t catch it, the meaning of the rose picture Margery gave her grandmother was to show that she was still loyal.
And maybe telling her to go home...
Craig Kostelecky No problem. Thanks
...and to remind her of the house words. She's letting Olenna know that she's still growing strong.
@@manuelodonnell1148 I’m glad that Margaery isn’t brainwashed and is playing the game, but I am really worried for her because now that she has sent Lady Olenna home, she now has no allies. Tommen and Mace(her dad) are both not doing well, Loras is still locked up, there is no way Cersei will help the queen and that septa is following her like a Hawk.
How about a little kudos to Alfie Allen? Easily the most underappreciated and nuanced acting in the series as Theon!
Yeah Alfie is a great actor, he and the Lannister siblings are imo the best actors on the show.
He's definitely not underappreciated lol xD
@tunderdiamant I think in terms of GoT he is. Dinklage just won his, what, third emmy from a season in which he did absolutely nothing. It's all Dinklage and Headey, maybe occasionally Coster-Waldau and Rigg sneaks in on the conversation.
IMO Allen is the best GOT actor. His performance is impressive
MysticSaxophone I started to hate him after John Wick so no.
White Walkers built The Wall to protect themselves from Lyanna Mormont, remember my words
Hail queen Lyanna Mormont 🙌🙌🙌
LOVE THIS! 😂
Nikola Taraszkiewicz she’s so overrated
Nikola Taraszkiewicz she is def Boss
I like her but she's not that character.
Tormund is a great example of GRRM's famous saying: "A villain is the hero of the other side." If true, the opposite is as well. For the Freefolk, Jon Snuuh, LC Mormont, Samwell, Edd, etc. = villains. Jorah once viewed Viserys & Daenerys as villains-in-training & King Robert as the hero. Jaime embodies this totally: his most heroic act labeled him a villain forever. GRRM was deeply ambivalent about Vietnam; his profound anti-war stance & the absurdity of who we consider a "hero" vs. "villain" colors all his works.
"Violence is a disease. You don't cure it by spreading it to more people."
GRRM took this one step further by making his actual villains look like heroes.
Well said
Cheers, cousin :-)
Omg so well said I was gonna put something similar to this but it wouldn’t have came out that good lol thank you for posting and love GRRM4EVA!!
Certainly true, but IMO Jorah is too cynical to look at people this way. I don't think he believes in heroes and villains.
"Violence is a disease. You don't cure it by spreading it to more people."
Well, that line is a bit of a cop-out. Being passive is not a solution to violence.
Just for the backstory : The scene between Jaime Lannister and the Blackfish is kind of heartbreaking. When he was a kid, Jaime was a big fan of the Blackfish; following him everywhere. The Blackfish was a badass warrior. Jaime wanted to be like him. So, here we are, decades later, with the Blackfish saying "I wanted to get the measure of you (...) and I'm disappointed". It's terrible for Jaime.

Late reply, but this is also one of the very few parts of season 6 that is taken from the books. I guess it was supposed to take place during season 5, but they had to push it forward after deciding to send Jaime to Dorne
Thanks for the context. Late reply, but I've only recently watched this for the first time and haven't read the books.
Knowing this adds a bit more to Jaime's reaction when he asks that soldier to bring him the Blackfish, only to hear that he died fighting.
He's noticeably saddened, and learning that there's admiration there that goes so far back makes it more impactful.
Do you remember we heard of Lady Lyanna Mormont from Stannis? When he asks Jon “do you know this wretched child?” And gives him the scroll that Lady Lyanna wrote “we know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark” ❤️ Lady Lyanna is the BEST lol
I remember that moment!! Seemed like almost a throwaway but GoT is known for not throwing anything away, and I reacted a lot like Stannis - "dam, who TF said that?" It really stood out as some straight up G level defiance! Love how when Jon was about to "remind" her what the note said, she interrupted with, "I know what it said!" You KNOW she personally dictated that reply, and her advisors were like, "Dam straight, my lady."
@@thedeejaeebee5babee She didn't dictate it; she wrote it. Google the letter. Look at the uneven lines, the differently sized letters. The capital N in North is large enough, but is shaped like a small n, the rk in Stark are as big as capital letters. The g in King is of a fancy shape but not very gracefully drawn. Stark is embolded, and most notably, the comma is huge. That's a child's handwriting. And she even forgot to write a signature. If she had been dictating, the writer would have signed it formally in her name. Everything points to her having written it personally. :D
@@SelvesteSand Okay, I revise my last sentence: You KNOW she personally wrote that letter and if her advisors hypothetically read it as well for whatever reason, they probably figuratively thought, "Dam straight, my Lady."
You're right, the accuracy makes it so much funnier! To me, anyway, I often am the only one laughing.
@@SelvesteSand Now THAT'S some attention to detail!
12:04 - Wun wun doing his best Steven impression! SNOHHH!!!
LOL True!
Hahaha yes lol
Hahahhah
Also im pretty sure when Jaqen was hitting arya for lying it wasnt cause she said “i killed him” it was cause she said “i hated him”
It was both. Both were lies.
Ninos Khaey...thats correct.
Jamie L..no, she never said she killed him.
Doesn't she say "I killed him", gets smacked, and keeps going because she knows it's a lie? When she says she hated him and gets smacked is when she fights it and says "it's not a lie, I hated him" and gets smacked again. Somewhere in there is when she also says "I'm glad he's dead" and gets another snack, furthering the proof that she's lying to herself about hating him. It ends with her saying "I'm not playing your stupid game anymore!" So, when she gets hit for saying that she kills him she does not argue about it because she knows it's a lie and knows she trying to lie. She fights getting smacked with the "I hated him" part because that was the lie she wanted to believe. That is the lie that really upsets her and keeps getting her smacked for. She does get hit for saying that she killed him, but that's not what she keeps getting smacked over, not what she's upset about, and not really relevant. The entire point of that scene was that she no longer hated the Hound, no matter how much she wants to. She finally accepts it and we see her demeanor change from the last time he's mentioned to when the waif says "tell me about the Hound" the next time she plays the game.
She's actually trying to play the game. When she says she killed the Hound, she is playing the game. Poorly, but playing. She knows she's lying, we know she's lying, Jaqen knows she's lying. She is attempting to play the game and get away with the lie. When she says she hated him, she's really just lying to herself and thinks it's the truth. They used Jaqen catching her on the killing him lie to show us, as an audience, Jaqen knows when she's telling the truth or not. When she gets smacked the next time, for saying that she hated the Hound, we know it's really a lie. That's literally the only reason that line is even in there. It is a way for writers to point you in the direction they want you to look without blatantly spelling it out for you.
No, she was hit specifically for saying she hated him.
I´m back, now give me some chicken.
XxAli-AxX someone will
@@magicknismo696 hes one of my favs of all time in this show xD
nah, i'm good at not dying
Lots of cunts...
All the fecking chickens in this room.
You have now had the pleasure of meeting the Little Bear who makes men shake in their boots
Everybody needs a Davos in their life! Quote of the vid.
One mistake you made. Arya never said she killed The Hound.. She said she left him there to suffer because she hated him.. That was the lie. She said he begged her to kill him, not that she did.
Plus even if the No One did know the Hound was alive, the objective of the exercise was for Arya to learn of telling a convincing lie.
I thought it was more of she actually didn't hate hound, she liked him somehow
@@piyushmahadik1607 she did.. Hence why it was a lie.
It is to be noted, that the waif wasn't fit to be no one either, since they require zero emotional attachment and she simply hated Arya.
Jacken specifically told her "don't let her suffer" and she stabbed Arya in the belly just to ensure a slow and painful death.
Also, hide your chickens, cause Clegane is back xD.
Let's be honest, Lyanna Mormont should be running Westeros
She should have studied under Lady Olenna for a year. Straight beast mode.
@@dellcoc can you imagine how much more badass she would become?
Lyanna Mormont is the best so far, she is like Olenna but more serious. I love her character.
Yes
Let's be honest this couple reactions are boring and bland I've watched so many people's reactions and this couple are like emotionless and they don't pick up on things quickly not very smart I jus can't believe 362k people like watching them say "oh man that crazy wtf" in an emotionless tone
Ian McShane is a great actor. Wish they had been able to use him for more than one episode.
Was probably a short guest spot on purpose :)
Al Swearengin forever. HA!!
@PlacidDragon I'm sure it was, too. He probably had other projects that kept him from making a longer commitment to the show.
yeah, that would be my guess as well :)
He was a bit of a dick about it, so I'm glad he was done with one episode.
The hound!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back to one of my favourite characters...🐕🐕🐕 great reaction you two!!!
EVERY TIME Lady Lyanna Mormont speaks, I get the chills!!
If you really think The Hound would kill Arya, then you haven’t been paying attention lol
died laughing at “omg she’s a baby”
Funny thing is, if you ever see any scenes or publicity shots of Dame Diana Rigg from back during her time on "The Avengers" in the 60s, you see why Natalie Dormer was good casting as Margery. She looks like she could be Dame Diana's granddaughter, the resemblance is that good.
I always remember her from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but yes, they do look strikingly similar.
Here's another funny familial fact that I found out recently; the actor who played Ser Rodrik Cassel and the actor who plays Podrick Payne are father and son in real life.
@@josh420masterB I can't remember what Shakespeare play it was, but it was on PBS the other day and Diana Rigg's in it along with Helen Mirren and I swear to God a young Janos Slynt is also in it. I even looked it up but could not find anything about him being in it so maybe I'm wrong and he just has a brother or someone who looks a lot like him or a young version of him.
I saw a few of the pictures of Diana Rigg from that time, and one picture made my eyes widen so much I physically felt the strain on my face! The first thing I thought was "time travel?!?" If Dormond was alive back then they could be twins, easily.
Had a huge crush on Diana rigg in the avengers in the 60s. The show wasn't the same when she left.
Surely Natalie Dormer was cast first, as Olenna didn't appear until season 4. Maybe D&D realized she looked like Diana Rigg and that's why they thought of casting Diana Rigg as Olenna.
Also, if you ever see any scenes with Natalie Dormer in Game of Thrones, you see why she was a good casting as Margaery. ;)
62 soldiers of House Mormont? Victory is assured!
think they could match Ramsey's 20 good men?
Pretty sure they match the force of 3 fire-breathing dragons.
😏
some scars never heal. but the secret to life is learning to live with them, to somehow live as a broken man without being broken. love you guys
JH didn't snack Arya for saying she killed the Hound. He smacked her for saying she HATED the Hound. She was lying to herself saying she still hated him when she doesn't actually hate him anymore. She hadn't for a long time.
Exactly. If she hated him, she would have killed him when she was cleaning his neck wound.
Do you remember when Stannis was offering to Jon to name him Stark? This was back when he was preparing attack on Winterfell, and he was trying to gather the forces as well, including northern houses. He then showed to Jon a scroll saying "We know no king, but King in the North, whose name is Stark", signed by Lady Lyanna Mormont. This is why Stannis made his tempting offer basically, he needed a Stark to rally northern houses to his cause.
I understand House Glover’s response to Jon & Sansa. It sucks, but I can understand how they feel from their POV.
I think this episodes title applies to several men/ppl in this episode, but I also think it applies to Rob & his legacy. Listening to the guy from House Glover speak about Rob & House Stark just shows how that one decision broke Rob’s connection with the north, not just the Frey’s. And right now, House Stark is broken. I hate that that is how Rob will be remembered and that most people in the north view House Stark as ‘dead’.
It made me feel sad for Jon & Sansa, for them to hear how ppl feel about/remember their brother and House Stark.
I liked Rob, but he was foolish to go back on his word and honor for a woman he barely met. His whole country was riding on his decisions, and he threw it all away. It seems to me that there is a lot of karma that goes on in this show with terms to honor. I personally think the Stark's string of bad luck started when Ned beheaded the guy in the beginning without a second's thought. To bad he didn't give that man a change like he did with Cersei.
Davos is in my top 3
I'm telling you guys, I know he's not "sexy" but he is an awesome character and fully developed.
I agree i love his character
"I know he's not sexy" **deletes folder named 'daddy davos' containing 57 photos of the onion knight**
He's a little sexy...
I mean... he’s old man sexy. He’s my #3 too. It switches between him and Jaime depending on the episode.
I think he's sexy x
You're right Steven, We all need a little Davos in our life...
the rose is the sigil of their house. Their words are growing strong. Giving Olenna the rose signifies that marge hasn't lost her way and is doing what she needs to do for the sake of her house and herself
What I really hated about Arya getting stabbed there is the fact that she knows how dangerous the faceless men are and she was told that it was her last chance and they knew when she didn't kill who she was suppose to before and in spite of knowing all that she walks around nonchalantly without a care in the world.
Yes! Finally my stress relievers are back! Can't work easily without you guys.
Also gotta love Davos: The Little Girl Whisperer.
By the way, you guys do what you need to do to keep Steven sane and to put out videos that you can be proud of. We will be here cheering you on. You are both amazing!
Thank you Susan, we appreciate your support!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 - Nikki
Thank you Susan, we appreciate your support!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 - Nikki
Yes, you both are fantastic and I wish the best for you.
Fun fact:
Ser Meryn Trant’s death was the most expensive death in the history of GoT. The makeup and effects work was spectacular.
Also, Valar Morghulis.
Also, he was (and is) one of the nicest, most humble and gracious people ever IRL. Watch the interview with him about that scene - it's awesome.
Alfie Allen should have been nominated a number of times for Emmy.
This is, yet again, another reason why I am immediately uneasy when good things start happening to characters I love. The Hound is back!!!! Big props to Ian McShane for his brief but excellent cameo. You two are great!! Lady Mormont is soooooooo awesome too!!!
Lady Lyanna Mormont needs to sit on the Iron Throne 🙌🏻
Take your time guys, and enjoy the show. If you're enjoying yourselves, that means better videos and reactions for us to watch.
I’m glad Arya didn’t kill someone she had no issues with because it shows that there’s still some sort of humanity in her. People need to give her a break, she’s a kid. Anyway, I’m so glad the Hound is back. Lady Lyanna Mormont is a savage. As far as Arya’s stabbing, I’m with Steven. I don’t care how she survives, I just want her to.
BrokenWolf1990 And I love my murder child! Everyone on this show is a killer so I'm all for Arya doing it.
No other killer on the show is a CHILD.@@neonoires
I love that Jon Snow painting back there, it's the cutest thing in the world! ❤️❤️
Episode titled "The Broken Man"? Have to post the "Broken Man" speech from the books, one of the best speeches ever, which isn't in the show. No plot spoilers (except for the speech). The character giving the speech is not in the show, but there are parallels between him and brother Ray (who is not in the books).
"Ser? My lady?" said Podrick. "Is a broken man an outlaw?"
"More or less," Brienne answered.
Septon Meribald disagreed. "More less than more. There are many sorts of outlaws, just as there are many sorts of birds. A sandpiper and a sea eagle both have wings, but they are not the same. The singers love to sing of good men forced to go outside the law to fight some wicked lord, but most outlaws are more like this ravening Hound than they are the lightning lord. They are evil men, driven by greed, soured by malice, despising the gods and caring only for themselves. Broken men are more deserving of our pity, though they may be just as dangerous. Almost all are common-born, simple folk who had never been more than a mile from the house where they were born until the day some lord came round to take them off to war. Poorly shod and poorly clad, they march away beneath his banners, ofttimes with no better arms than a sickle or a sharpened hoe, or a maul they made themselves by lashing a stone to a stick with strips of hide. Brothers march with brothers, sons with fathers, friends with friends. They've heard the songs and stories, so they go off with eager hearts, dreaming of the wonders they will see, of the wealth and glory they will win. War seems a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know.
"Then they get a taste of battle.
"For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they've been gutted by an axe.
"They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take a wound, and when that's still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from the marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water.
"If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they're fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it's just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don't know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they're fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world . . .
"And the man breaks.
"He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them . . . but he should pity them as well."
When Meribald was finished a profound silence fell upon their little band. Brienne could hear the wind rustling through a clump of pussywillows, and farther off the faint cry of a loon. She could hear Dog panting softly as he loped along beside the septon and his donkey, tongue lolling from his mouth. The quiet stretched and stretched, until finally she said, "How old were you when they marched you off to war?"
"Why, no older than your boy," Meribald replied. "Too young for such, in truth, but my brothers were all going, and I would not be left behind. Willam said I could be his squire, though Will was no knight, only a potboy armed with a kitchen knife he'd stolen from the inn. He died upon the Stepstones, and never struck a blow. It was fever did for him, and for my brother Robin. Owen died from a mace that split his head apart, and his friend Jon Pox was hanged for rape."
"The War of the Ninepenny Kings?" asked Hyle Hunt.
"So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was a war, though. That it was."
Jesus, it's easily one of the best pieces of writing in modern fantasy.
9/10 will not read this long ass comment. Just keeping it real. Have a great day
sh0cktim3 you should take 5 minutes and try reading it. I’ve read the books a few times and this passage still gives me chills
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the read.
In the Season 6 lore in Blu-Ray, Brother Rey narrates on "The War of the Ninepenny Kings" and much of what he says in that video, particularly his background, is taken directly from this speech.
Theons head going up , camera goes down 20:11 gives such a powerfull scene
Thank you for your hard work Steven. You are more appreciated than you know. 💚
Thank you! - Nikki
@Nikki and Steven Very late comment, but I have a question for you:
You know how Tommen loves Margaery a lot? Well do you think that Margaery even likes him back, whilst still manipulating him? She hasn’t brought any harm to Tommen at all yet and she also has given him win win solutions in her schemes.
Bear Island has 800 men. Once they had 4,000. The 4,000 were fighting for Robb Stark. Half of them were lost.
Arya was whipped because she said she hated the Hound. That was a lie. She wanted him to suffer for the evil he had done, but she cared for him.
I used those exact words to my husband, when we watched this episode! The comment you made, Nikki, about the sixty-TWO men. All the way through your comment, Steve, about it being the strength of 10 men each! I caught your channel during the last season, and immediately fell in love with you guys! You are such a great joy to watch! Even though Game of Thrones is over for me, I just HAD to go back, and watch EVERY single reaction of yours, and so far, I am so very happy that I did! You GOT this, Nikki! I am the same as you....a very emotional, kind spirit, and it is amazing to see that we have so many of the same reactions! Wishing that I knew you guys, IRL, because you are both such great people! Thank you, so very much, for all the work that you do with this channel! I for one, will ALWAYS be your fan! And I think I am going to have to go watch the other series that you guys react to, just so that I can continue to watch you! Keep smiling! You are doing great!!!
I love Steven's "Jon Snooooh!" but I think Nikki is relishing in her ability to correctly pronounce "Jaqen H'ghar"! 😂😂😂 It just rolls of her tongue as smoothly as a fine wine!
I do kinda pat myself on the back a bit for finally getting it together lol - Nikki
I figured you guys would love Lyanna. Shouldn’t surprise me how tough she is, given her family line.
I love that Arya maintains her morals. I think that’s really what keeps her from being no one. She can’t just cast her heart aside.
Don't listen to anyone do whatever schedule you want guys
Mohamed Shire agreed. Both episodes 9 and 10 should probably be two-parters
This end is the oposite of s4.e.10 (Arya leaves the hound) now Arya is bleeding and sandor leaves a masacer
62 Jorahs and Jeors would be a scary thing... Mormonts are bears.
There should be a spin-off called Better Call Davos.
I'm down to watch that! - Nikki
You guys are awesome, this has been my way of rewatching the show
Steven and Nikki, take as long as you need! I really enjoy these videos, and don't mind at all waiting for quality.
As for some of the questions brought up... Brother Ray was helping the people of the countryside recover from the war. Part of that was making sure corpses were buried properly and given their last prayers. That is how he came upon the Hound. Lady Mormont is 11 years old, and like Bran did when Robb left Winterfell, took over as the last Mormont on Bear Island. And Lady Olena recognized that Margaery was still devoted to House Tyrell when she saw the house sigil: The Rose.
Thank you again! Your videos are so fun to watch!
Valar Morghulis!
TH-cam went down just as I clicked to watch this video. It was a long, long winter night.
I'm rewatching this and I just gotta say that I love the Davos hype-train so much. hahah He's my favorite.
Been subscribed for a while but never commented before. You guys are awesome!
Thanks Anna!!! Feel free to comment any time you like 💜💜💜💜💜 - Nikki
been waiting for this episode for ages! the hound is back!
🐕🐕🐕
Not a spoiler, just a fun tidbit: Lyanna Mormont may be Tormund's daughter. why? because Tormund always talks about fng a bear. Well the only adult female from Bear Island that we have seen was Maege Mormont, head of Bear Island. She's about Tormund's age (or was - she died fighting with Robb). And House Mormont is known in the books to be skinchangers.
You saw Maege sitting next to Glover at one of the big banquet hall scenes in season 2 when the heads of houses were discussing initial strategy.
LaDonna Louise Then she'd be Lyanna Snow, or just left to die for being a Wildling's baby.
Nope. Maege wasn't married, but none of her children are Snows; that suggests that the culture of Bear Island is different.
@@manuelodonnell1148 That, and the fact that they have female house heads without anyone batting an eye, plus THEIR child rulers are wise, as opposed to insanely twisted and cruel, or weak and easily influenced (--cough cough, Lannisters, cough cough--). Lyanna is younger than Joffrey or Tommen, and I daresay she's doing a heck of a lot better job ruling.
King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England thats is not how House Mormont operates. The books say the men were always at sea and the women held it down. Now if a particularly charming redhead sailed around the west coast to bear island and came upon a particularly charming warrior woman he would make her slick as a baby seal. Heh. No wonder he thinks Brienne is his kind of woman.
Omg I love how Nikki and Steven are getting the plot, and still Emotions ARE US❤❤❤❤
I've always wondered if the actress was a test for Arya or if the test was really for the waif. Arya didn't do what she was told, but neither did the waif in this scene. Jaqen asked Arya if death only came for the wicked? However, he also told her the history of the Faceless Men. The first was a slave called no one and they started as vengeance against their slave owners. Seemingly, only killing the wicked or slaves that ASKED for death. The people that come to the house of black and white ASK for death (or their guardian does). So, who is really being tested here? Is it Arya and whether or not she'll go through with killing someone she doesn't see as wicked? Is it the waif? Is she really committed to the faceless men or will she just kill Arya, without question and the way she feels like doing it, because she's told to? Is it a test for both of them at the same time? I want answers.
jaqen also told the waif to not let arya suffer but the waif clearly wanted arya to suffer greatly
@@lastofusclips5291 I added that because every time I post something really long I spend 20 minutes editing it LOL. That's actually what reminded me of this whole thing. I can't remember if it was Nikki or Steve, but one of them mentioned Jaqen saying for her to not suffer and then I remembered that theory.
I totally agree. I always thought the waif seemed too blood-thirsty and sociopathic to be what the Faceless Men are supposed to be. They don't torture their victims. They seem to kill quickly and cleanly. They don't enjoy it. It is simply their duty to the Many-faced God.
@@michellerhoades8774 I always felt the same way with jaqen asking does death only come for the wicked? I'm like, but that's literally not what you just explained with the start of the faceless men. Like I get that purposes get twisted throughout the years, but it still seems really off from explaining the history to what you are now. You were like good assassins that took out bad people but now we're expected to believe that you're just taken out anyone for whatever reason? Is this some sort of test? Feels like a test.
@@iloveyourunclebob
Great questions, Allyson! I have no clue what the answers are, but they are great questions.
This has to be the only episode I was excited to see because I knew you guys would be excited instead of crying!
whenever Steven tries to say "else" he says "eltz" lol 6:30
😂😂
I suspect he may be from the east coast lol 😝
He is, New Jersey 😁😁😁😁 - Nikki
listen to the music. THEON is in there, we know cuz when he helped Sansa escape the Greyjoy violins play. That means it was him and not Reek!
Steven, you should do the schedule that works for you. I know everyone is asking for more episodes, but now one wants you guys to get burned out and not be enjoying the process and watching the shows. I think you are right in that you will need extra days next week to get through the last 2 episodes of this season. Also, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions for shows to watch. Deadwood and Rome, both are HBO shows. The only problem is they both ended after being cancelled and so they feel like they didn't end how you want. However they both have great characters and stories. The guy who played Ray in this episode is a main character in Deadwood and he did an amazing job with his character. Just a couple of suggestions and definitely don't let the process run you down to the point of not enjoying doing the videos because I think you guys do great and it has been fun watching your reactions and knowing that is how I probably looked when I was watching the first time.
Jon was stabbed with a bunch of 10 inch daggers in the chest, Arya was stabbed with a small shiv in the belly, big difference guys.
When you say 'you can only take care of the children and house' Lets be real here, Nikki You the real MVP :)
Thanks Otto!!! - Nikki
I was gonna say!!
"If you think this is going to have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."
The line that describes the entire show.
Hound is back & I'm fixing his chicken!!
Totally get it with the schedule. You guys are doing an amazing job. No issues what so ever with only two vids this week of GoT. Don't tire yourself out Steven, you're already doing a lot!
Just so you can write it on your names list...
The girl that keeps beating on Arya is known as 'The Waif.'
Nice nails Nikki!! Keep them coming...can't get enough of this show.
Thanks Mike! - Nikki
Arya isn't the terminator, she still has a shred of human decency left. The waif hates Arya, hence why she is dragging out the whole thing. She was never teaching her, it was pretty well-tormenting someone she didn't like.
Also, what did Sandor do as a child to warrant punishment? He's called the Hound but think of a beat dog who is sent out to attack people. He isn't really bad in his core, but it is what he was taught and made into. There is a shred of human decency in him still.
Lyanna Mormont is awesome! Absolutely love her!
Also, Jaime Lannister is one you can count as broken but have you noticed that Jamie, Sandor, Jon, and Theon are all broken in some way but they are on a redemption arc. It doesn't mean that they are going to alignment shift to lawful good but they have a chance to do the right thing.
Sansa was never taught the things that a noble lady in Westeros should have been taught by her mother. Margery was taught what power she has and how to use it, also she was taught critical thinking skills. Sansa, on the other hand, had to endure six bloody seasons of pain in order to learn those skills the hard way.
Margery is doing what she must to survive because she is at the mercy of a religious zealot and a husband who is a weakling. When Tyrion said that Westeros has had cruel rulers and idiot rulers he was not kidding because Joffrey and Cersei are a lot closer than you might think. Cersei is cruel and nowhere near as bright as she thinks, not to mention she didn't start murdering people when she offed Robert. (This isn't a spoiler was just deleted from the show and wont show up) The girl who went with Cersei to see the witch was her best friend and had asked if she would marry Jaime. The witch told her that no, she would not, and that she would die and that death was so close that she could smell its breath. Cersei pushed her down a well on the way back to Casterly Rock killing her so she wouldn't get with Jaime.
Joffrey was an evil seed from an evil tree and I am fairly certain that Myrcella and Tommen took after Jaime instead of their mother.
Anyhow, I understand what it is to be exhausted and unable to put out content. I for one look forward to your videos and love every minute. One thing about this series is that it only gets better the further along you go, see the both of you on Thursday!
Stomach wounds take a long time to kill a person generally...plus the weapon used was a stiletto, a very long slim blade, instead of a large blade, so the wounds are deep but not huge gashes that will take weeks and weeks to heal...
Thats a second time Jon got wrecked by a child
I liked the video before i saw it because watching your videos are a GUARANTEE GOOD TIME!!!
Thank you! - Nikki
I’m binging again!
You guys are such a cute couple with so good vibes ,i am loving your reactions and conversations about the show! I just subscribed. LOVE from Greece
Hi Jenny! Thank you and welcome to the channel - Nikki
Nikki you're the sweetest! love your hair! /House Sava\
Started watching you guys around 2 weeks ago. Y’all are awesome! My boyfriend and I did the same thing of waiting and watching all the seasons at once. This show is a wild ride!
Hi Alissa, welcome to the channel, thanks for watching with us - Nikki
I love your commentary. You¨'ve got a new sub!
Hey, thank you, welcome to the channel! - Nikki
Just recovering from an operation at the moment. A new GOT video from you guys is just the thing I need to make me feel much better. Love your reactions and appreciate so much the hard work that you put in.
Yess i have my final exams of year 12 and i needed something to relieve me from my stress ❤️
Ninos Khaey final exams? The year has just started!?
They could be from the southern hemisphere. It's close to summer over there right now.
Good luck!
Yea i live in Australia, and thank u so much!
Ninos Khaey wow I didn’t realise that the term times were so different. I guess you learn something new everyday😂
A man wants to see reactions, but not if they are rushed through! Good call on taking time with 9&10. They are worth it.
Since when do reactors make an episode much more enjoyable??? Since NIkki & Steven started reacting to GOT...that's when!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 - Nikki
Totally agree. I am rewatching the whole GoT just because of their reaction and review.
@@emin777 me too
Caught their channel late, but going through all their reactions because they are just that good
I watched your reaction to s1 s1 last Thursday and I've binged to catch up to here. You can split your reactions however you want. A man will wait for notifications and watch immediately.
Sansa: I'm Sansa Stark
Lady Mormont: No one gives a shit
“I can only take care of the house and the children....”. 😂😂😂
As much as it is hard for you guys to wait a day to see the next episode. it's hard for us to wait to see your reaction to the next episode. hehe
Almost there guys! I love how Nikki says "I just take care of the kids and the house".........that's a HUGE responsibility and one I know well! You are both amazing! xxx
Thank you!!! Yeah, its the hardest job i've ever had!!! Crazy hard! - Nikki
the hound. not as dead as you think. if theres no body they aint dead. oh... id completly forgot this is the episode you meet lyanna mormont...the little girl who makes chuck norris hide under his bed. davos is really good. lady mormont likes him which means he doesnt have to live in fear. i love you guys!
Yes!!! I have been waiting for you guys to see the hound alive all weekend. Watching episode 6 last Thursday knowing id have to wait 5 days to see it was brutal......lol 😍
That seemed odd, most ppl are overjoyed when they first see the Hound return.
for real though
We waited a yea and a half...they have only waiting like a month lol that is a lot less time to build it up and sort of forget about a character
You dont mess with Lady Mormont!
15:16 'Omg she is a baby' XD
8:12 and 8:15 - the moments Nikki recalls what Steven is referring to (re: maybe the Faceless men knew the Hound wasn't dead) . It's so expressive on her face! And good call indeed, Steven, nice catch!!
How many men can we expect?
Steven: (jokingly) like 20 men...
Lyanna: 62
Steven: O.o aaay
lmao
Well, if Lyanna is to be believed, its actually 620 men.
Here's an interesting theory: Lyanna Mormont is the reincarnation of Lyanna Stark.
When the camera pans up as Theon raises his head, and the Ironborn theme starts, you know Theon is coming back.
18:20 - I just noticed the sigil of House Glover appears to be a giant glove. LOL.
Makes sence right?:)
What type of glove???
@@OG_Fernando
I'm just assuming that it's a rubber glove... or an oven mitt.
It is a gauntlet.
Thanks for the two episodes that you do this week. You set the schedule so please don't let it stress you out. You've got lives along with the rest of us so don't worry about getting the rest of the episodes out fast, there's not many left so you taking your time on them is a great idea. There's some banging episodes coming up and you'll want to savour them, I'm looking forward to seeing you watch them for the first time and there's no rush. Loving your reactions, such a fab couple, thanks so much x x x
Yesssss!! Been eagerly awaiting the reaction to this one
Hey guys! You really spoiled us with all the videos you putting out. You do them in your own time because, I want to see you enjoying this whole thing as much as I do. Love you!
