      You need to react to Coldplay's Game of thrones The musical (full 12 minutes version). British band Coldplay join with the Cast of GOT (after they finish to record season 4) to make this vídeo for charity (red nose day). Don't worry as there's no spoilers. I can assure you that you gonna love it. It's 12 minutes of fun and maybe for once Pudgey will cry of laughing. It's a video that every die-hard fan of GOT have to watch. You will thank me later.

    People sometimes claim it's impossible for Brienne to have beaten the Hound, but keep in mind she had a Valyrian steel sword, elite (brand new) armor, and the Hound was feeling the effects of that bite would he refused to have cauterized, i.e. was physically weakened. And she BARELY beat him. I thought the fight was realistic as hell.

    Also, best moment of Stannis imo. "Few of the birds that Aemon had sent off had returned as yet. One reached Stannis, though. One found Dragonstone, and a king who still cared,” and "Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne.” Stannis pointed north. “There is where I’ll find the foe that I was born to fight.”

    This season is the story of the Lannister fall from grace. They win everything only to lose everything. They remain nominally in power, but the foundation has cracked. The summary I always post at the end of this season reflects that rise & fall via the fortunes of one Tywin Lannister. The season starts with Tywin melting Ned's sword, at the peak of his power. Renly killed, Stannis defeated, Robb murdered, Greyjoys almost forced out of the North...House Lannister is finally the unchallenged masters of Westeros. The season ends with Tywin's downfall, not at the hand of any enemy, but brought down by his own hubris, murdered by his own son. During the last moments of his life Tywin finally has to come to terms about his grandchildren. For someone who valued family legacy more than the actual family, that had to be a devastating blow knowing his grandsons were not legitimate heirs. His victory is built on quicksand. This episode is fittingly titled "The Children" for the Children of the Forest, but it's also about Cersei, Jaime & Tyrion each in their own ways rebelling against the Lannister patriarch, with the last one ending up being fatal. A season ago Tyrion had a great line, "Seven Kingdoms united in fear of Tywin Lannister". Tywin held together a country in civil war with sheer force of personality. Now that glue is gone. Now that "gaping pit" has opened up. Now it's time for the Crows to Feast.

Even here I don't believe he comes off solely as a victim. The story they told about Tyrion-Tywin-Shae from S1 onwards is more a circular firing squad of mutual recriminations. I think I know where you're going with this. I just don't think the Tysha angle would've fit GoT Tyrion as there was not enough set up done of that side of Tyrion's character for the revelation to have worked. Not to mention that's a different argument from how good GoT Shae is.

    I really love the interaction between Brienne and The Hound this episode. Specifically when Brienne asks "So that's what your doing, watching over her?" and The Hounds response is "Aye that's what I'm doing". It's almost one of the first times that The Hound admits a genuine care for Arya and her well being. Their journey together began as The Hound wanting to retrieve a bounty and has grown to a point where he actually cares for her well being and is willing to put his life on the line to protect her from Lannister control through Brienne. Although WE know that Brienne is good at heart and actually wants Arya's safety, THE HOUND doesn't know that and assumes that Brienne is just going to take her back into Lannister control which he doesn't want for Arya because of how much he has grown to care for her.

    I think a lot of people don't really get this Tyrion-Shae thing. For me, the fact that she was sleeping with Tywin was an act of revenge on her part (with maybe a bit of opportunism), because she was angry against Tyrion for the way he treated her earlier (he was in fact trying to protect her by doing so). It's also the reason why she lied against him at the trial. But she misunderstood his real intentions, and thought he was just rejecting her for Sansa because she was a "whore". So in fact, this last scene was just a crime of passion - her sleeping with his father being the last straw for Tyrion - which results from this misunderstanding : he tried to save her by being rude with her, but she resent him, and so it eventually brings her death by his own hands... The finale of season 4 was the finale of impossible love stories : Ygritte and Jon / Shae and Tyrion.

    • @neddhu

      Shae was a lying whore. Well yes she was terrified of Tywin, but she quickly enjoyed being the most poweful man in Westeros' mistress. In the books she almost gets Tyrion to forgive her but makes the fatal mistake of calling him My Giant... as she mocked him by telling about their forplays in open court and the term she used to call him. Fatal mistake that makes Tyrion hate her insantly.

    • @feilik

      That really doesn't make sense as her 'revenge' would be too disproportionate. Either she was always working for Tywin (unlikely given the way she acted before) or it was just a bit of writing that didn;t quite make sense on the screen - unless we see Shae as some kind of abusive monster which doesn't seem to fit.

I read most of the books for the Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) and I get it. For these ones I was super super invested and looked at every movie very critically if they would do the books justice. But I never read these ones prior watchin GoT. So for me in its entirety the show was absolutely brilliant, all of it. Especially season 5 and 6 were just as awesome, again - for me. And what is more, we waited 1 year and a half for season 8. At the end everyone were just so hyped up and out of damn patience. And this is the main reason for me why under every freaking GoT video there are comments like this one. And I am tired because it devalues the fact that there are alot of people like me who do not see Season 4 as the peak. Like I said 1-7 were almost (with little exceptions) equally good for me. And I am almost certain, that for people who watch it now one season after the other w/o waiting years in between seasons (like Spartan and Pudge), it will be not so dramatic downfall.. Actually it might look rather logical and expected. Anyway, I got so tired of seeing these type of comments like they are stating objective truth. For me it is not.

Or do you think that one scene WAAAYY back in season 1 was enough, and that it would still make a big impact three seasons later when Jamie says "oh, by the way, dad made me lie to you about your first wife"?
      No. In the book, GRRM could keep that story fresh in the reader's mind, because the reader is LITERALLY in Tyrion's head. But it was never going to work on TV. They HAD to make Shae the woman who loved him (which she didn't in the book), and give Tyrion that horrible choice between love and duty. And just like Jon Snow, Tyrion chose duty and it cost him dearly. Pretty good writing, really.

      Tyrion is in shock after seeing Shae had been sleeping with Tywin, and then having to kill her (in self defense, because she was going to alert of his presence there and he was condemned to death). She was his big love, and had been led to betray him by his father. He was deeply traumatized by the whole thing. He would have never planned to kill his own father, but he just did because of that horrible betrayal he was still processing. And he will have to process now that he has killed his lover and his father; which clashes with the kind of person he thought he was.

He then goes on to confront Tywin about Tysha, not Shae, and asks him where she went after she left casterly rock. Tywin responds with "Wherever whores go", and gets an arrow in the stomach.

    4.9 and 4.10 are the best two season ending shows I’ve seen; nearly equaled by 6.9 and 6.10

    This really is the halfway mark. So many of the story arcs reached watershed moments. So much more to come. . .

    The venom used by Oberyn is called Manticore venom and is stated it's so venomous it could kill and an Elephant and as soon as the poision reach the heart it's insta death.
    So it's very very unlikely the mountain would survive that XD

    Varys didn't mean to leave at first, but as soon he realized Tywin was dead, he knew his implication would mean death at the mercy of Cersei, of all people, so my guy dipped immediately

    They’re not friends but Tyrion and Cersei both owned Tywin in this one 😂

    My favorite GoT episode of all time. All the plotlines came together in such a great way. Beautifully done. Enjoy this moment, you two.

    Varys didn't plan on going with Tyrion, hence why he walked back towards the Red Keep. After hearing the bells though, he knew that Tyrion had done something and didn't want to risk being linked to it

      Yes, Varys knew what the bells represented and he realised that if he remained in King's Landing his role in freeing Tyrion would be exposed so he had no option but to flee.

      Interestingly though, Varys does stay in Kings Landing in the books. He didn't want to help Tyrion, Jaime forced him. Almost every character has "another side" to his/her personality, Varys is no exception but we don't get to see his "evil" side in the show, nor Tyrion's and others'.

      ​@@HochspitzVarys is definitely more slimy and dangerous in the book than in the show, in the book he feels more more of a villian to me but in the show he seems more on the good side.

    Three-eyed-raven is a really cool character, but the show doesn't really reveal his true identity!

    • @CheekyHaggis
      @CheekyHaggis Рік тому +2

      It's revealed in the books and maybe the lore videos hopefully.

      He's pretty boring in the books aswell tbh.. from my perspective anyway.
