"any detailed comment that Raises or Decreases Nikki & Steven's expectations of the show will be removed instantly by us the moderators without any deliberations" that's ridiculous, and y'all are going power crazy. people can't even say "you guys are going to love what this show has coming up, can't wait to see your reactions"? or vice versa, "I don't think you guys are going to like where this show is going, maybe you should look for a new show to react to" and that's not cool. people have a right to be heard.
If it’s general that’s fine. Just don’t be specific about an episode, moment or character. We’re going power crazy because we want to provide the most authentic reactions possible for those who watch? We just ask for no specifics.
It's so hard for a person like me who spoils alot of stuff for family and friends , and I don't even know Im doing it untill they are looking at me like WTF is wrong with you ? Why did you do that ? Lol . It's horrible. I check , check and double check my comments because I don't want my comment deleted lol ..
Saying "you're going to love this" IS spoiling. I understand the need to talk about the show but foreshadowing in the comments is selfish. I and I'm sure most other subscribers enjoy watching you react unspoiled. Just keep doing what you're doing and having moderators is a sensible precaution. Enjoy!!
So...in case you missed it. The dead guy was Hoster Tully, Cat's father. The bad archer was Edmure Tully, Cat's brother. The old badass archer was Brynden Tully, aka The Blackfish, Cat's uncle.
Another Actor Note: Ben Hawkey, the actor who plays Hot Pie, opened an e-bakery called You Know Nothing John Dough and yes, you can order Direwolf loaves of bread for £1.
Smooth Operator What about The Dr. Qyburn Show, Survivorman With Mance Rayder and The View starring Cersei Lannister? That last one might be a little on-point. But still, coming to a TLC Channel near you.
The musical chair game was one of the more subtle things the writers of the show did. You see Littlefinger rushing in to get the favored position which illustrates that he's willing to do what it takes to get ahead. Varys sees the situation and lets it happen, happy to not draw attention by sitting in the middle. Pycelle sees the pecking order and dutifully sits in third. Cersei sees the situation, and just like her real life situation she doesn't want to be told her position, decides to grab a chair herself to seat besides her father to show him that she's willing to take the initiative to be seated in a position of power. Lastly Tyrion sees the whole charade, deliberately drags the chair on the floor to make it a point to show how ridiculous this is and instead of falling behind Cersei as expected, he seats himself opposite Tywin as an equal. This scene is pure gold.
Something to consider: when The Mad King named Jaime to the Kingsguard, he stripped him of his claims to Casterly Rock and any future heirs. Now the one part of his identity he got to keep, his claim as the greatest swordsman, has been taken away. His slate has basically been wiped clean.
When thinking about Jamie losing his hand, remember back to the second episode of the series when Jamie and Tyrion are talking at breakfast. Jamie comments that even if Bran wakes up, he’ll be a grotesque cripple. He adds, “Give me a good, clean death any day.” FORESHADOWING! : )
Been waiting for this XD Thanks for the daily upload 5:50 The "seat at the table" thing was a small power strangle, in monarchy rules the one who sits at the end of the table directly facing the entrance is the leader, the one next to him is the next power in line, and then so on, that scene showed Tywin was the true leader, but the power hierarchy for all the rest was still up in the air up for grabs, Cersei in defiant of the already seated establishment made her own spot, Tyrion was thinking outside of the box sat face to face with Tywin to show he consider them as equals, but he did it in a way so noisy to intentionally annoy them all, this seemingly unimportant scene pretty much summed up their characters in a nutshell, GoT is truly a masterpiece.
A great look at the other characters in the scene too. Varys was the first to step forward to claim a seat, but Littlefinger shoved his way forward to claim the seat closest to power and then Pycelle, happy to accept the scraps and play the feeble old man took the last seat left. And Cersei didn't even sit opposite Littlefinger, she basically sat at the corner to be directly next to Tywin.
I think Cat's flaws (even though they aren't great) give her character more depth. If she was able to love all the Stark kids, if she wasn't so impulsive, if she was kinder, she would be more likable, but maybe, more forgettable. I think George RR Martin did a good job of giving all the characters a good mix of flaws and redeeming traits. Some of the most villainous characters have that one feature that reminds you they're human and a good character can have a moment that shows that nobody's perfect, especially a "hero." It makes the characters feel more real and helps ground their world.
people forget ned has them too (he cheated) this is why i love the writing because not all perceived good characters are 100% good and vise versa but my favorite characters in the series are the really gray truly 'in between' characters but rr makes it so most characters are fairly gray on their own and that's true to real life, everyone has done shitty things and has fucked up
Maria Jay i hate how everyone hates when a character makes a bad decision but then complain because they are mary sues. Catelyn made some wrong choices. Does that make her an awful person like a lot of people make it seem? Ned did lots of wrong things, Jon too. No one complains though
@RheagoBittersteel I mean you can still hate on/be angry at them for making bad choices, thats the point. You're not supposed to love them for it. you're supposed to be upset and disappointed with the character. Should you blame the writing for it and say the show ruined that character no. but I still think you're supposed to be angry with the character. I hate on Jon and Ned for their dumb decisions too.
@5:09-5:57 has got to be one of my all time favorite GoT scenes. The not too subtle rivalry between Cersei & Tyrion against all the other lickspittles in the room is hilarious. The chair sloooooowly scraping across the floor gets me every damn time. 😂
Michelle Fairley (Catelyn) is such a great actress, she makes me break every time she shows emotion. Also, your faces at 19:20 had me dyinggggg! My exact face when I saw it the first time, that one came out of nowhere!
Your faces when Jamie loses his hand were PRICELESS!! That's exactly how I reacted when I first saw it. Then I was like, "Well, there goes his sword hand."
I mean... I kinda get why Nikki is torn about Theon. Yes hes done some terrible things and yes hes an asshole, but if you look at the whole picture youll see his life wasnt really pretty until that point when he went back to Pyke and met his father again. All he wanted was to be accepted by his real family, to feel like he belongs somewhere. But then again, we have to face the consequences of our actions.
So now if you go back and watch Jon say good bye to Bran. You will see the anger and bitterness Cat was expressing had nothing to do with Brans condition.
be reasonable Cat’s behavior to Jon let’s be frank about it, is steps and ladders higher and better than any other lady of the house would have treated Jon. You think any other noble woman would have even allowed Jon to stay in her home and be reminded every day of her husband’s adultery? In that society? In that time?
I don't think that the time, society or any thing else can excuse anyone from the irrational hatred Cat showed Jon. I will base this on what is right and what is wrong. It is a fucked up person that can redirect blame and hatred towards an innocent. Simply because she cannot put the blame where it belongs, and where did it belong? With a man that she hardly knew when she married him, a man that she had no time at all to know before he left for the war. She admitted to Rob that their marriage was not about passion at the beginning but was a matter of necessity. This burning jealousy and hatred she developed for Jon over a man she didn't really know shows me that Cat is just nasty to the core. Even when she knew the truth, she still blamed Jon instead of Ned. This is because she wanted her marriage and her rage. She knew she could not have both if the rage was directed at its proper target. I see this happening today with all of this fake outrage going on in the world. People have this need to be angry about something, whether they know the truth or are ignorant about it. The truth is unimportant only the outrage matters.
@@CaptainPikeachu know this is old but I think Ned had the say on Jon staying inside, as a woman in that time she would have no say, also part of the reason Ned let Jon go to take the black is because he knew once Ned left for kingslanding cat would have thrown Jon out
3:59 I love that badass introduction. Doesn't even have to look to know that his (crazy long!) shot landed. That bow toss and walk off was the medieval version of dropping the mic XD
You're doing an A+ job catching simple but important scenes. Big action is AWESOME but a lot of development/meaning lives in the quieter moments. GRRM never wastes a single word; there's no filler. Excellent focus & good lookin' out, you two.
Robin Melendez I agree; it’s what separates good reactors from everyone else. There really is something akin to a “viewer intelligence” that’s necessary for compelling reactions. These two have it down. Fun times 😁.
Michelle Fairley, Charles Dance, Mark Addi, Jerome Flynn, Jonathan Pryce, Diana Rigg, Lena Headey, Iain Glen .... these actors just do such an amazing job, have years & years of experience. That rubs off on all the other younger actors, including the children who had little to no experience at all. It's just such an amazing cast & screenwriters, we´re all still at awe with some scenes. That's one of the reasons we keep seeing clips & reactions on youtube, we just can't let it go
I always thought it was so unfair of Claire to treat Frank that way because Frank truly loves her with all his heart. But she loves Jamie and is traumatized by Blackjack and now Frank has to suffer? So wrong
Hey guys! Loved it. I think Brynden "Blackfish" Tully's intro scene is one of my favorites in the entire series. Fun fact: not everyone appreciated the surprise rock song at the end. The creators intended that something so out of place might add to/extend the shock or discomfort viewers may be left with from the ending scene.
ive never watched people react to shows before but im hooked on this channel.....its great watching 2 people that havnt seen this great series react to all the things that I once reacted to as well.......this is the best way to kill time waiting for the new season to come out.......you guys are awesome.....cant wait for the next one!!!!
I love that scene with the chairs. They're all jostling for proximity to power (Tywin), then Cersei changes the facts on the ground to get closer to the center of power, and Tyrion sets up his own power center at the other end of the table.
😂😂😂 Steven was straight savage today, yes Jamie and his smug self talked himself into that hand chopping because that man wasn't having any of it. Even though he was trying to save Brienne which was a good thing.
The scene where all the members of the council come into Tywin's chamber..... it was all symbolism.... You notice that Baelish cuts off Varys to go sit next to Tywin first (his ambitious/obnoxious way)... then cersei pulling up right next to Tywin to signify she is the most important person in the room after him. Then Tyrion dragging the chair to signify the rebel/outcast and showing that he's just as important as his father. #TywinLannister #FavoriteCharacterEver
i think tyrions choice wasn't about being "the rebel", but more about taking an "equal" position. normally the heads of the table are for the heads of the house.. so while cersei choose to be her fathers little pet, tyrion choose to have an equal position on the opposite end of the table
I just want to say I like the two of you a great deal. You seem like such thoughtful, genuine humans. It’s a joy to “spend some time” with you both. ❤️
This show is funnier then people give it credit for. Just that one scene with Cersei and Tyrion moving the chairs around @ 8:15 , Nikki scrunching her face trying not to cry. We see you girl. And you can call the dragons whatever you want
@3:30: ‘what if he misses?’. Well, his father’s soul won’t rest. So, missing is big no-no. This is why Cat’s uncle, Brynden (aka ‘the BlackFish’ because he’s the family’s black... sheep) is so pissed off and takes matters in his hands. You can see how relieved Cat is when his arrow hits the boat.
I am a fan of the show for years, and have seen many episodes more than ones but you guys understand the connections and meaning of actions much quicker than I did😂😂
How do you identify if someone is a good archer? The Old Guy (Blackfish) took a moment to look at the flags blowing in the wind to gauge potential wind resistance and alter the direction and power level of his shot.
Woo notification squad. I remember watching this episode for the first time, I was like wait did that really just happen??? Then the music kicked in and shocked me even more because it's not game of thrones-y at all. Kind of just put an exclamation mark on how crazy and unexpected that was.
ldgonzalez94 I really like that they put that song at the end. In around a third of the reactions I’ve seen, they ‘flinch’ when the song comes on. It’s like an exclamation to the exclamation of Jaime losing his hand.
The lighting the funeral boat scene is one of my favourites in the whole series. Perfectly introduces you to two new characters and gives you an idea of what they are like without saying a word
When you watch a lot of Got reactions and sometimes you get disappointed when they don't get things in the seasons to come because they don't pay attention, the thing here, These Folks get everything, so, I'm here for this and whatever they decide to watch next. Love you guys!
OK, two of the best moments happened in the last like 5 minutes. First, Steven's reaction to Nikki when she said I hope Yara is saving Theon was priceless and then the closing shot of Jaime losing his hand with both jaws dropping. Awesome! More more more please!!!!!
Know this is almost a year late, but the scene with the chairs is pretty good setup. Tywin sets the chairs up on one side. Littlefinger runs up to take the chair closest to him, while Varys and Pycelle take the next two. Cersei takes the chair and moves it to sit by Tywins right hand, seeing herself as the closest to him in strategy and strength. And Tyrion moves his chair opposite him because of their adversarial relationship.
19:19 It turns out Jamie is not going to be able to even dab in Westeros lol some really memorable moments in this episode. Hot pies cute moment, Crasters creepiness, Theons dumb promise to make the guy who saved him the prince of the iron islands...Danys famous words..All men must die..Yes but we are not men.Its getting crazier with each episode. Cant wait for the next one!
Both of your facial expressions are priceless. Your reactions are so genuine it’s like watching the again for the very first time. Where were you for the last 7 years?
“He can’t dab for shit, now.” Seriously. Lost it. 🤣 (Ok, emoji people!! I need a dabbing icon, stat!) Dab isn’t even in predictive text, yet. Oooohhh, just wait. 🤣
Random observation: Edmure was the person who came up with the nickname "Littlefinger" for Baelish. They were raised together as "brothers" (like Theon was raised with the Starks). I absolutely love that scene with Tywin and the small council. You can see that the 6 actors are so great, their acting are basically on their expressions and posture. HAHAHA your faces when Jaime lost his hand! This is awesome, I'm laughing so much. I know, I know, I reacted that way too. You guys are so observant it amazes me! I never picked things up so quickly like you do. Waiting for more!
I remember watching this episode with a big group of people...and that end scene left everyone quiet and shocked for 3 seconds while everyone processed what we all just saw....then absolute mayhem.
As soon as I realized this was the hand chop episode I couldn’t wait to watch! My reaction: “whhhhhhhat?!” So excites to follow along on your Thrones journey!!
"By most mechanical and dirty hand. I shall have such revenges on you... The things I will do. What they are, yet I know not. But they will be the terrors of the earth!" (My response to WB messing Nikki & Steven about, regarding the Westworld reactions)
Yeah I seriously was like why are they late today? And i was like what the hell its better this way since i live basically live on the other side of the planet, the time difference this time suited me lolz
been a long day and I missed it when you first uploaded it, but now, Im watching, I do so enjoy your reactions, Im there with you on your sofa, this is such an emotional episode... from Catelyn, talking about her father, to tyrion dragging the chair, to theon getting captured, etc. I really enjoyed your reactions to this:)
Man, I feel like somebody here should be keeping track of every prediction they make so that at the end of the series, we can look back and see how accurate they were. Lots and lots of interesting predictions. I wish there was a way to discuss them without spoiling anything lol
Yea 😁😁 I look forward to these every morning. Season 3 is one of my favorite seasons. There is a lot of character building in this season and information.
I'm a horse lover to Nikki. When Glegane chopped off that beautiful Freisian's head at the tournament, I freaked out. But I love this show so much, whenever a horse, or any animal is killed in GoT, I just chant in my head, 'it's not real, it's not real'. Sending you hugs 💓
Just keep watching you two. Your love/hate relationship for many characters in this show has a long way to go yet and you will NOT want to miss a single part of it.
At first when I saw the end scene it caught me off guard. I had to look at least three times to see what happened and then I saw Jaime's hand cut off and I was like, "OH SHIT!" lol.
Love your reaction videos Nikki and Steven, just found your channel several days ago, been watching ever since.. You guys have good intuition for some of the things being foreshadowed! Can't wait to see the new vids to come, thanks for sharing with us!!!
A nice afternoon surprise! I love looking directly at my boss....right in his face....when he releases I'm watching some of my favorite youtubers.....lol
And now the greatest fighter in Westeros is crippled. Karma for what he did to Bran. Always thought it was interesting how both of their lives changed drastically after that event.
Let me give you guys _a hand_ for doing another outstanding job!!! My heart skipped a couple of beats when I didn't see the notification this morning, but you guys came through!!! Bravo!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐺🌹🐍🐲🐙🐎
Definitely one of the most intense and shocking endings to an episode. It was so weird hating Jaime for being such and uncaring, arrogant asshole and then kind of feeling bad for him because he lost his hand for sticking his neck out for Brienne.
One of the reason I love GoT. Every action bears consequences. Even good deeds. Jaime tried to save Brienne and it costed his hand. I have no doubt if Jaime did not try to help Brienne that night, he would still have his hand. Look at Ned Stark, he tried to do the right thing, informing Cersei first about his knowledge of her children, so her children and her could run away from Robert's wrath. When he confessed his crime so that his daughters won't pay for his mistake, he lost his life. To me, Jaime is an interesting character, especially his moral values. He would kill a child for his love to Cersei, but won't tolerate rape. This show reflects a lot to our own reality. For example there are people in this world rather see people die than animals to suffer or be killed :D *wink wink*
I know what i trust to say without being a spoiler. Here goes: to watch unspoiled reactions in 2018 is just freaking awesum. Most of us would SOOOOO want that device from men in black where u can just forget things. and start over GoT in 2018 like you guys did. that would have been awesum and i'm sure a lot of us want that. and u guys have that. and it's so awesum. and also happy that you let me come along. thanks. there. no spoilers. PS also 1 reaction / day so consistently... thanks for that too.
Steven: "Jon's always been one of my favorite characters." Yeah, he pretty much won me over in the very first episode when he basically saved the direwolf pups.

FUN FACT: The actor who plays Hotpie actually opened up his own bakery in London and actually sells direwolf loaves of bread.
that is the greatest thing I've heard all day
It's called "You Know Nothing Jon Dough"
I wonder how much they cost...I would totally buy one everyday if I lived nearby:)
Randy Cooper Is it still open?
Is that really the name? He should've just called it "Hotpie's".
So...in case you missed it. The dead guy was Hoster Tully, Cat's father. The bad archer was Edmure Tully, Cat's brother. The old badass archer was Brynden Tully, aka The Blackfish, Cat's uncle.
jblakk false. Edmure is catelyn's brother and the heir to the riverlands due to being a firstborn male
This is really helpful thankyou!
Another Actor Note: Ben Hawkey, the actor who plays Hot Pie, opened an e-bakery called You Know Nothing John Dough and yes, you can order Direwolf loaves of bread for £1.

You are literally the only person I now know has actually understood the scene
until season 7 and 8 attacked 8^)
A great look at the other characters in the scene too. Varys was the first to step forward to claim a seat, but Littlefinger shoved his way forward to claim the seat closest to power and then Pycelle, happy to accept the scraps and play the feeble old man took the last seat left.

So now if you go back and watch Jon say good bye to Bran. You will see the anger and bitterness Cat was expressing had nothing to do with Brans condition.
@be reasonable: I'd say that Cat is very "stoneheart".
be reasonable Cat’s behavior to Jon let’s be frank about it, is steps and ladders higher and better than any other lady of the house would have treated Jon. You think any other noble woman would have even allowed Jon to stay in her home and be reminded every day of her husband’s adultery? In that society? In that time?
I don't think that the time, society or any thing else can excuse anyone from the irrational hatred Cat showed Jon. I will base this on what is right and what is wrong. It is a fucked up person that can redirect blame and hatred towards an innocent. Simply because she cannot put the blame where it belongs, and where did it belong? With a man that she hardly knew when she married him, a man that she had no time at all to know before he left for the war. She admitted to Rob that their marriage was not about passion at the beginning but was a matter of necessity. This burning jealousy and hatred she developed for Jon over a man she didn't really know shows me that Cat is just nasty to the core. Even when she knew the truth, she still blamed Jon instead of Ned. This is because she wanted her marriage and her rage. She knew she could not have both if the rage was directed at its proper target. I see this happening today with all of this fake outrage going on in the world. People have this need to be angry about something, whether they know the truth or are ignorant about it. The truth is unimportant only the outrage matters.
@@CaptainPikeachu know this is old but I think Ned had the say on Jon staying inside, as a woman in that time she would have no say, also part of the reason Ned let Jon go to take the black is because he knew once Ned left for kingslanding cat would have thrown Jon out
And thus began the legend of Pod the Rod.
The look on the both of your faces at the end were PRICELESS! Can't wait for next episode!
“I need to know what he did to those girls!”
- Nikki and Steven
Oh man... we all do
3:59 I love that badass introduction. Doesn't even have to look to know that his (crazy long!) shot landed. That bow toss and walk off was the medieval version of dropping the mic XD
You're doing an A+ job catching simple but important scenes. Big action is AWESOME but a lot of development/meaning lives in the quieter moments. GRRM never wastes a single word; there's no filler. Excellent focus & good lookin' out, you two.
Robin Melendez I agree; it’s what separates good reactors from everyone else. There really is something akin to a “viewer intelligence” that’s necessary for compelling reactions. These two have it down. Fun times 😁.
theres a whole lot of filler in the books involving food.
Rull Mourn I disagree. I find he uses a lot of those seemingly endless descriptions to hide symbolism/metaphor etc.
I know it's a late comment, but "GRRM never wastes a single word" is just plainly wrong. Half of book 4 is just pure waste.
In previous episodes, everytime Steven said, "Jaime is playing his hand." I would giggle thinking about this part of GOT! 😂
Michelle Fairley, Charles Dance, Mark Addi, Jerome Flynn, Jonathan Pryce, Diana Rigg, Lena Headey, Iain Glen .... these actors just do such an amazing job, have years & years of experience. That rubs off on all the other younger actors, including the children who had little to no experience at all. It's just such an amazing cast & screenwriters, we´re all still at awe with some scenes. That's one of the reasons we keep seeing clips & reactions on youtube, we just can't let it go
LOL! Both of your faces when shit goes down onscreen is the best thing about this channel!
Outlander changed Tobias Menzies for me forever. He played such outstanding roles there!
Damn I can never forget him outlander. I never hated anyone more than that character. But I loved the actor at the same time.
I always thought it was so unfair of Claire to treat Frank that way because Frank truly loves her with all his heart. But she loves Jamie and is traumatized by Blackjack and now Frank has to suffer? So wrong
Maria Stark same same
Oh yeah!
Playing Frank/Black Jack was awesome!
He’s going to play Prince Philip in the next few seasons of The Crown
Hey guys! Loved it. I think Brynden "Blackfish" Tully's intro scene is one of my favorites in the entire series.
Fun fact: not everyone appreciated the surprise rock song at the end. The creators intended that something so out of place might add to/extend the shock or discomfort viewers may be left with from the ending scene.
"blackfish is one of my favorite lesser known characterss go back a watch him again.. pure gold pure gold
Care Totally! 👍Played by the wonderful character actor Clive Russell. He is actually Yorkshire born but raised in Scotland and he stands 6'6"!
Nikki said "what if he misses" just as a took a sip of my water. Almost drowned. :)
LOL whoops - Nikki
"He can't dab for $hit now." X'D LEGIT CRACKING UP X'D X'D X'D
11:20 "Man this fool's gonna save him" 😂😂😂
ive never watched people react to shows before but im hooked on this channel.....its great watching 2 people that havnt seen this great series react to all the things that I once reacted to as well.......this is the best way to kill time waiting for the new season to come out.......you guys are awesome.....cant wait for the next one!!!!
Thank you so much, welcome to the channel!! - Nikki
I love that scene with the chairs. They're all jostling for proximity to power (Tywin), then Cersei changes the facts on the ground to get closer to the center of power, and Tyrion sets up his own power center at the other end of the table.
His sword hand... just snatched his identity away with one, quick stroke.
Dual Shockgazm at 19:19. 😂😂
Podrik has skills
And thus began the legend of Pod the Rod...
Spoiler. MODS MODS MODS
One of the great mysteries of GoT...
Whatever he did, I'm pretty sure it has nothing tto do with his dick. Or at least not entirely. ✌👅
Tri-podrik. XD
😂😂😂 Steven was straight savage today, yes Jamie and his smug self talked himself into that hand chopping because that man wasn't having any of it. Even though he was trying to save Brienne which was a good thing.
LMAO. You both made the perfect "O" with your mouths at the same time when Jaime lost his hand.
the music that plays at the end credits, right after Jaime loosing his hand always cracks me up XDD
The scene where all the members of the council come into Tywin's chamber..... it was all symbolism.... You notice that Baelish cuts off Varys to go sit next to Tywin first (his ambitious/obnoxious way)... then cersei pulling up right next to Tywin to signify she is the most important person in the room after him. Then Tyrion dragging the chair to signify the rebel/outcast and showing that he's just as important as his father. #TywinLannister #FavoriteCharacterEver
Also, Tyrion placed himself at the 'other head' of the table.
It's one of my favorite scenes of the entire series. I loved all the small council scenes.
i think tyrions choice wasn't about being "the rebel", but more about taking an "equal" position.
normally the heads of the table are for the heads of the house.. so while cersei choose to be her fathers little pet, tyrion choose to have an equal position on the opposite end of the table
Leslie Sanchez Please edit out the last sentence of your comment (Sir Steven, etc.)
Ser Elryk ok done.
I just want to say I like the two of you a great deal. You seem like such thoughtful, genuine humans. It’s a joy to “spend some time” with you both. ❤️
I like it when you call them the babies, Nikki. They are her babies. 🐲🐲🐲
SashaRicky Yep I'm totally on board with calling them "babies"! 👍😎😃
Same
totally babies
I was coming to comment this exact thing! They really are her babies.
Glad I'm not alone 😊
"im daddy's favorite" 😂 lol
This show is funnier then people give it credit for. Just that one scene with Cersei and Tyrion moving the chairs around
@ 8:15 , Nikki scrunching her face trying not to cry. We see you girl. And you can call the dragons whatever you want
@3:30: ‘what if he misses?’. Well, his father’s soul won’t rest. So, missing is big no-no. This is why Cat’s uncle, Brynden (aka ‘the BlackFish’ because he’s the family’s black... sheep) is so pissed off and takes matters in his hands. You can see how relieved Cat is when his arrow hits the boat.
“I’m daddy’s favorite!!” 💁🏻♀️
🤣🤣🤣 it so true.
I am a fan of the show for years, and have seen many episodes more than ones but you guys understand the connections and meaning of actions much quicker than I did😂😂
Thank you, were trying. We don't wanna let down the GOT community! - Nikki
How do you identify if someone is a good archer?
The Old Guy (Blackfish) took a moment to look at the flags blowing in the wind to gauge potential wind resistance and alter the direction and power level of his shot.
right I didn't catch at that first
The dabbing with a stump part had me belly laughing!😂😂
Woo notification squad. I remember watching this episode for the first time, I was like wait did that really just happen??? Then the music kicked in and shocked me even more because it's not game of thrones-y at all. Kind of just put an exclamation mark on how crazy and unexpected that was.
ldgonzalez94 I really like that they put that song at the end. In around a third of the reactions I’ve seen, they ‘flinch’ when the song comes on. It’s like an exclamation to the exclamation of Jaime losing his hand.
That song in the end is horrific
Valar Morghulis

But we are not men
Ucef Valar Dohaeris
I am lol
A lie...
I love the way that Robb tears his uncle Edmure a new one. "I could have that head on a spike right now - instead I have a mill...”
The lighting the funeral boat scene is one of my favourites in the whole series. Perfectly introduces you to two new characters and gives you an idea of what they are like without saying a word
When you watch a lot of Got reactions and sometimes you get disappointed when they don't get things in the seasons to come because they don't pay attention, the thing here, These Folks get everything, so, I'm here for this and whatever they decide to watch next. Love you guys!
OK, two of the best moments happened in the last like 5 minutes. First, Steven's reaction to Nikki when she said I hope Yara is saving Theon was priceless and then the closing shot of Jaime losing his hand with both jaws dropping. Awesome! More more more please!!!!!
Know this is almost a year late, but the scene with the chairs is pretty good setup.
Tywin sets the chairs up on one side.
Littlefinger runs up to take the chair closest to him, while Varys and Pycelle take the next two.
Cersei takes the chair and moves it to sit by Tywins right hand, seeing herself as the closest to him in strategy and strength.
And Tyrion moves his chair opposite him because of their adversarial relationship.
Omg I've never noticed how much they dont like horses on this show and it doesn't end 😂
I know, it's kind of sad. They are very violent to the horses in this show. :(
19:21 *I WISH I COULD FREEZE FRAME YOUR FACES AND REACTIONS!!!* #Priceless 😂😂😂 Great reaction guys!!!!!
Jamie in the 2nd episode of season 1 : Id hate to be a cripple, give me a good clean death any day
Jamie now : STUMP BOI
19:19 It turns out Jamie is not going to be able to even dab in Westeros lol some really memorable moments in this episode. Hot pies cute moment, Crasters creepiness, Theons dumb promise to make the guy who saved him the prince of the iron islands...Danys famous words..All men must die..Yes but we are not men.Its getting crazier with each episode. Cant wait for the next one!
Both of your facial expressions are priceless. Your reactions are so genuine it’s like watching the again for the very first time. Where were you for the last 7 years?
“Does that have anything to do with Stannis not getting his fire up?” 😆
Hey Nikki, I don't mind you calling the dragons her babies they are her babies and it's sweet when you call them that, I love it 🤗.
“He can’t dab for shit, now.”
Seriously. Lost it. 🤣
(Ok, emoji people!! I need a dabbing icon, stat!) Dab isn’t even in predictive text, yet. Oooohhh, just wait. 🤣
Random observation: Edmure was the person who came up with the nickname "Littlefinger" for Baelish. They were raised together as "brothers" (like Theon was raised with the Starks).
I absolutely love that scene with Tywin and the small council. You can see that the 6 actors are so great, their acting are basically on their expressions and posture.
HAHAHA your faces when Jaime lost his hand! This is awesome, I'm laughing so much. I know, I know, I reacted that way too.
You guys are so observant it amazes me! I never picked things up so quickly like you do. Waiting for more!
I remember watching this episode with a big group of people...and that end scene left everyone quiet and shocked for 3 seconds while everyone processed what we all just saw....then absolute mayhem.
As soon as I realized this was the hand chop episode I couldn’t wait to watch! My reaction: “whhhhhhhat?!” So excites to follow along on your Thrones journey!!
"By most mechanical and dirty hand. I shall have such revenges on you... The things I will do. What they are, yet I know not. But they will be the terrors of the earth!"
(My response to WB messing Nikki & Steven about, regarding the Westworld reactions)
on you.... both. ( I should say all, as many bug them about it.
Ali Gaines - Yeah I cut, "both" out as I didn't want Nikki and Steven thinking that the quote was targeting them. Haha!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You are late
But I love you
Mr. Nice Man exactly, lol.
Mr. Nice Man
I was getting a bit nervous there for a bit when I saw there was no notification when I woke up lol
lol. 😋
Yeah I seriously was like why are they late today? And i was like what the hell its better this way since i live basically live on the other side of the planet, the time difference this time suited me lolz
My breakfast sucked this morning I was searching for something else to satisfy and found nada lol😢
been a long day and I missed it when you first uploaded it, but now, Im watching, I do so enjoy your reactions, Im there with you on your sofa, this is such an emotional episode... from Catelyn, talking about her father, to tyrion dragging the chair, to theon getting captured, etc. I really enjoyed your reactions to this:)
I laughed so hard when Nikki said can’t get those fires up it sounds so dirty😂😂
Man, I feel like somebody here should be keeping track of every prediction they make so that at the end of the series, we can look back and see how accurate they were. Lots and lots of interesting predictions. I wish there was a way to discuss them without spoiling anything lol
Best parts of reactions: Jamie's hand sliced..and the joke about Stannis not getting his fire up used as metaphor at the reaction ending..!!😂
I love how it cuts to music after the scream, it made me laugh so hard on rewatch
I had the EXACT SAME REACTION when his hand was Cut off 🤣
when Tyrion gave Podrik his "gift". you guys had the best faces.. 😂 😂 where were those eyes focused at Nikki!!! lmao
I had to watch y'all's reactions to Jaime getting his hand cut off over and over again. They were priceless!
The dragons are Dany’s babies, she is the Mother of dragons.
Yea 😁😁 I look forward to these every morning. Season 3 is one of my favorite seasons. There is a lot of character building in this season and information.
I'm a horse lover to Nikki.
When Glegane chopped off that beautiful Freisian's head at the tournament, I freaked out.
But I love this show so much, whenever a horse, or any animal is killed in GoT, I just chant in my head, 'it's not real, it's not real'.
Sending you hugs 💓
Just keep watching you two. Your love/hate relationship for many characters in this show has a long way to go yet and you will NOT want to miss a single part of it.
11:49 😅 A man almost lost his _face_ in this part ... 😇
Was sad when I got to work this morning and this wasn't posted. This just made my day. Thanks guys !
Love it when you call them babies.
At first when I saw the end scene it caught me off guard. I had to look at least three times to see what happened and then I saw Jaime's hand cut off and I was like, "OH SHIT!" lol.
Love your reaction videos Nikki and Steven, just found your channel several days ago, been watching ever since.. You guys have good intuition for some of the things being foreshadowed! Can't wait to see the new vids to come, thanks for sharing with us!!!
Hey Will, welcome to the channel, thank you so much - Nikki
Good lord has every episode made you cry Nikki?? I feel so bad, poor thing. This show must be an emotional rollercoaster for you. lol
That's one of the things that make her reactions feel so real and genuine. Also makes you wish that you could give her a hug lol ^_^ #ThereThere
I watch these with my morning coffee just before work, I had to work a hard 4 hours until lunch came around to able to satisfy my need!
The dragons ARE her babies!! Watching them since they were eggs, they're my babies too ^_^
A nice afternoon surprise! I love looking directly at my boss....right in his face....when he releases I'm watching some of my favorite youtubers.....lol
You don't know his name yet , you haven't been told it. All in good time.
And now the greatest fighter in Westeros is crippled. Karma for what he did to Bran. Always thought it was interesting how both of their lives changed drastically after that event.
Let me give you guys _a hand_ for doing another outstanding job!!! My heart skipped a couple of beats when I didn't see the notification this morning, but you guys came through!!! Bravo!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐺🌹🐍🐲🐙🐎
I was stalking your page all night for this reaction! Another great one you guys!
Poor Tywinn. What he's left now is Shorty McLannister and Stumpy McLannister
Definitely one of the most intense and shocking endings to an episode. It was so weird hating Jaime for being such and uncaring, arrogant asshole and then kind of feeling bad for him because he lost his hand for sticking his neck out for Brienne.
One of the reason I love GoT. Every action bears consequences. Even good deeds. Jaime tried to save Brienne and it costed his hand. I have no doubt if Jaime did not try to help Brienne that night, he would still have his hand.
Look at Ned Stark, he tried to do the right thing, informing Cersei first about his knowledge of her children, so her children and her could run away from Robert's wrath. When he confessed his crime so that his daughters won't pay for his mistake, he lost his life.
To me, Jaime is an interesting character, especially his moral values. He would kill a child for his love to Cersei, but won't tolerate rape. This show reflects a lot to our own reality. For example there are people in this world rather see people die than animals to suffer or be killed :D *wink wink*
I know what i trust to say without being a spoiler. Here goes:
to watch unspoiled reactions in 2018 is just freaking awesum. Most of us would SOOOOO want that device from men in black where u can just forget things. and start over GoT in 2018 like you guys did. that would have been awesum and i'm sure a lot of us want that. and u guys have that. and it's so awesum.
and also happy that you let me come along. thanks. there. no spoilers.
PS also 1 reaction / day so consistently... thanks for that too.
Nice to see Steven wearing something other than black, white or gray.
Ooooo, bonus episode! That would be lovely. I was concerned about Nikki and the dead horses; but you took it like a champ. Thanks guys!
Steven you nailed it with the feelings about Jon
Steven: "Jon's always been one of my favorite characters."
Yeah, he pretty much won me over in the very first episode when he basically saved the direwolf pups.
SAME!!! - Nikki
