incase you didnt realise why Oberyn wanted the Mountain to confess so bad (i didnt get it until i read it somewhere lol), it was because he wanted him to admitt Tywin gave him the order. With that Dorne could rightfully go to war with Kings Landing. A lot of people get annoyed with him for not just killing the Moutain but he had good reasons to want a confession from him and Tywin
They could simply just side with daenerys once her dragons become big enough and she reaches westeros, people always lose when they let their emotions get the best of them. Now the mountain might become worse and torture and kill more people, Tywin did get what he deserved in the end.
@@user-dx2dm8oq8g if im not wrong they didnt know about Dany's dragons yet? Maybe he found out during his meetings with the council and i missed it. But i agree i would have loveddd to see Dany and Oberyn meet, i feel like they've got simular humour and their beliefs (at least at the beginning) align and he would've been really good to keep Dany grounded on what she stands for
@@Cherryberryfruittin the books Dorne has already sent Quentyn Martell to Dany to set up a marriage without knowing she already married another man, in the show Dorne doesn’t know about Dany because they ruined the entire plot line with the Dornish
So the problem is he was so dead set on getting him to admit everything he did that he didn't end up avenging anybody and it actually got him killed and could have gotten Tyrion killed. 🙄 He was a very good character but I I hated that ending for him cuz he was doing so well and he had to give the f***** time to catch his breath. The only way he was going to win that fight is with speed and he was out speeding him and dodging him left and right. But the fact he got a couple of hits in and then left the man recover enough to talk. That's why he's dead
@@brandibastian4193 yeah i completely get that it was slighly silly on his part. If i was him and was going to stand there waiting for a confession i wouldve stamped on his hands to break his fingers or something (to make sure he couldnt attack and kind of a torture thing to get the info). I just dont like when people think he did it all out of pettiness, he did have a pretty good reason to want the confirmation that Tywin gave the order. Honestly one of the worst deaths tho, for me it just felt like Oberyns arc was for nothing
I'm glad you understand where Sansa was coming from when she lied for Little Finger. I have seen a few reactors think "she was in love with him" which seems insane to me. She doesn't love him, she just knows he wants her, and in turn, will keep her safe. Period!

imo she is mimicking him, Sansa is kind of famous for adopting the physical appearance of the people she wants to be like, so true to form she starts wearing dark hair and dark cloaks because that's what Littlefinger wears and she sees Littlefinger as somebody who is an expert at the playing the game and wants to be like him and learn from him. and doing it in a sexy way is also, in her mind, her first step towards manipulating somebody, and she feels safe practicing on him because she knows Littlefinger wants her alive to marry.
Whenever someone says Dany and Missandei were never close I always think of Dany braiding Missandei’s hair. Missandei is her servant and she’s a queen. She doesn’t need to do that, quite the opposite. But here they are in this funny/cute scene talking about Grey Worm. I loved that
I would say they are close, for the exact reason u mentioned as well as that they teach and learn from each other , Dani is different with her similar with how she is with Jorah. She interacts with them differently, and they have been with each other for a good while, so they just send the vibe of being comfortable with each other yes Dani is a queen but doesn’t treat missandei lower than her
Dany grew up with her weirdo brother and was treated like property her entire life most likely. Yes she's a "queen", but I think that now that she's her own person, she wants human connection too and to have people she loves and can trust around her. I'd say that missandei, grey worm and jorah are her new found family. She treats missandei like a little sister from what I've seen.
I think people say that because truthfully there is a huge difference in power and dynamic of their relationship. It’s like saying Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky were friends. Sure they were. But there was a power dynamic there that makes that friendship driven more by survival than true love and care for one another. It’s odd when those lines are blurred.
The interpretation of Tyrion is so different in the show! In the books, it's not 'self-defence', he just blatantly murders Shay and she dies smiling because she doesn't want to fight back against him. In the show they wanted to keep Tyrion likable (and with a good relationship with Jaime) because he was a fan favourite, but Tyrion gets so much darker in the books. For example, a hugely important detail that was entirely omitted from the show is that the REAL reason he murders Tywin is because Jamie reveals to Tyrion that his first wife Tysha, who he thought loved him until he found out she was a whore, was ACTUALLY just a common woman who truly fell in love with him. She was NEVER a whore! But when Tywin found out that Tyrion had married her (a commoner), he made Jamie tell him that Tysha was a whore that Jamie paid to pretend to love Tyrion. Then Tywin had Tysha taken to the barracks and raped by his guards after which he forced Tyrion to rape her too. When Jamie reveals this to Tyrion in the dungeon, that is really what sends Tyrion into the darkness and resolves him to kill Tywin. (not a show spoiler because this is never revealed in the show, which I think was a hugely wrong choice!)
The fact that they had Jamie and Tyrion's last interaction here be all brotherly and loving is one of the changes I hate the absolute most. To me, it's the beginning of them taking away characters' depth. The revelations in that last exchange (the truth about Tysha for Tyrion and "Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know" for Jamie) haunt the characters through the last 2 books. This whole ending started the flattening of Tyrion's character into just good rather than being a multidimensional character who could do violent and selfish things, and flattened Jamie's character into just loyal to Cersei, rather than giving Jamie an existential crisis that causes him to lean away from Cersei. Just drives me crazy that the show slowly started making characters all good or all bad when the source material made every single character as complicated as real people are.
Can you explain Shay’s character from the books? Like why did she sleep with Tywin? Did she ever love Tyrion? Does Tyrion simply kill her because of the betrayal?
I’m not gonna lie Tyrion lost me after season four it’s like they didn’t know what to do with him. They should’ve made him more villainous GRRM wanted him to be more of a justified villain because he had a lot of reasons to be angry and do what he did in the books
In the books they say twiwyn was the worse smelling corpse everyone had seen, that everyone could smell how rotten he had always been on the inside and that it didn't matter the fortune spent in roses at the funeral people couldn't stand being near it. Tommen threw up
If I recall even Cervei gets angry at the maester about the smell and the maester basically says "I did literally everything I could 🤷♂️", and I can't remember if it was intentional or not but his corpse is left with a smile on his face that is actually described as humiliating and stupid looking for what was perceived as such a stern and powerful man.
thank you for understanding why Dany made Jorah leave lol. So many reactors get pissed with her and call her stupid, but like she's not watching the show like us she doesnt know that Tywins made it a calcuated move. She's a queen and cant let someone who spied on her have no consequences AND know everything she's planning. Yes he's changed but she cant trust him anymore. And on a more personal note he was once all she had when she was sent to Drogo and felt safe with Jorah, so she wouldve been deeply hurt he put her and her babys life in danger
Exactly! And she proved early on that she will not stand for lying and deceit with Xaro Daxos in Qarth. It would actually be off-brand for her to suddenly start forgiving people that betray her now.
Plus, he had time for telling her himself instead of letting go hoping nobody would find out. He could have been sincere with her, but he never told her. So he ended up getting caught, even if not being a traitor anymore
While I agree Jorah should have told her way earlier himself, I feel he didn’t really defend himself that well. Maybe he was shell shocked how things turned. But, she basically absolved her followers back in season 1 before she went into Drogo’s pyre. She said anyone that remains gets to start over and follow her. I think Jorah could have said I was on the fence but when I saw you after the fire with the Dragons that is when I feel to my knees and fully committed himself to her. Not sure if it would help, but he could have made a stronger argument.
"I definitely understand how this could've been emotional." is a BEAUTIFUL LINE lol I honestly don't think you should HAVE to feel for or like every character even if they're a kind of main one, basically what I'm saying is you GO OFF, KING! lmao
Brinne's fight is my favorite fight of the show. They start "knightly" like, using swords and relying on their armor. But fighting isn't clean and glorious, at the end, they are just two people struggling to survive against one another, they are dirty, sweaty and bloody, using every inch of their strength to beat one another to death, and that's brutal and horrific. The performance of Gwendoline Christie is just perfect to encompass that, her screams are chilling and real. I love that scene so fucking much!
I love how u were shocked for minutes about Oberyn being gone, but not mention anything about his horrific very graphic death scene... 😂 You're truly a desensitised GOT-Fan now ❤
So in the books it was very obvious that shay was only with Tyrion for money and riches. She kept asking him for it and when she would get new fancy stuff from him but he was so blinded and didn't even think she could betray him. In the show I feel like she was a different character were she actually loved him until he told her to leave and called her a whore.
Tbf in the book Tyrion betrayed her first - he repeatedly changed the terms of their contract without her consent, and also took back the payment already rendered. She arguably both liked him AND wanted her fair payment. Plus he told her what happened to his last wife, so she knew going against Tywin was a fate worse than death.
I definitely think that’s a pretty good read on their dynamic in the books. There’s also more of an uncomfortable power dynamic because book Shay is far younger and because she doesn’t love Tyrion, is sort of just trapped in this really dangerous work situation. So she’s very openly just after his money, but also he’s blinded by his feelings for her and this power dynamic he’s created where her survival depends on this much older man. She betrays him, but also is crying and begging for him not to hurt her when he kills her, if I recall. So the whole scene is really different.
Also when you said “….me” as Sansa when she is talking about Lysa fearing LF falling for a younger woman I LAUGHED so hard and rewatched it like 5 times lmao
I am so freaking proud of you for taking on this series. I already watched your other reactions before this. But this series is such a huge commitment and you've far exceeded my expectations on editing. It must take AGES! You've done an incredible job so far, and I'm loving watching this series. Also, I felt the same as you about Ygritte. I'm only really sad for Jon because he's the love of my life and he's sad 😂
If you'll remember back when Stannis and Davos were still at Dragon, and they received Sam's message about the White Walkers. Stannis believed it, and took it seriously!!😊
Removing just the "pillar" wouldn't affect the sex drive, but removing the "stones" definitely can reduce it, but not always, and not necessarily completely. It doesn't change someone's natural sexual orientation. It just impacts the degree to which those feelings might be felt. And of course sexuality also has different components - sexual attraction, aesthetic/physical attraction, romantic attraction, emotional attraction, intellectual attraction, etc.... Clearly Grey Worm is attracted to Missandei and cares about her, even without, well, whatever he's missing. The absence of testosterone, assuming he's missing the "stones", can impact the degree and expression of that attraction, though.
I had the opposite reaction to you to Jon and Igrid. On first watch I was very emotional. On a rewatch I was like, "wait... she's like part of these cannibals killing families and letting them eat even kids... She's literally a murdering killer and she's mad at Jon because he has a heart...." so on a rewatch I was like, "Umm... Deserved" lol
BRAD YOU ARE FEEDING US!!!! Tired and stressed out from coursework so you uploading so soon after the last GOT is saving my mental health today, thank you king 🙏🏾✨
OH BRAD the way you keep us fed -- after last episode I thought you'd take a bit to upload this part but no babes you were ON IT for the hunties! your reactions were priceless here lmfao. the goopery, the gaggery... it was all too much and yet so gleefully fulfilling! TEEHEE! CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON 5! buckle in boy 💋🐲⚔ VALAR MORGHULIS, KING 🔥
Don’t know if anyone has ever said this apologise if they have but. Fun fact u never see Bronn or Cersie on screen at the same time through the whole series as the actors were together in real life has a messy split and only agreed to continue if they didn’t have to film the same day. 😂
The old man who Bran meets has a super interesting backstory that isn’t elaborated on in the show. His name is Brynden Rivers, aka Bloodraven (because he has a red birthmark on his face in the shape of a raven). Bloodraven was the bastard son of King Aegon IV aka Aegon the Unworthy. When his bastard half brother Daemon Blackfyre rebelled against the throne, Bloodraven stood by his true born brother, King Daeron II, and killed Daemon and two of hei sons in battle. When Daeron died, his son Aerys I became king and Bloodraven was his Hand/Master of Whisperers. He used his abilities as a warg to spy on people. There was a common saying in this era, “How many eyes does Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes and one” since he lost an eye in battle. He was also Hand to Maester Aemon’s father, Maekar, but after he died, there was a succession crisis. Bloodraven promised Aenys Blackfyre safe passage to King’s Landing so he could make a claim to the throne, but then Bloodraven beheaded him anyway. Maester Aemon’s brother, Aegon, became king and sentenced Bloodraven to death for the murder of Aenys Blackfyre, but he chose to take the black. Maester Aemon went with him. Bloodraven ended up becoming Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, but when he was in his 70s he went missing North of the Wall. People assumed his died, but we know now that he became the Three Eyed Raven. Right now, he’s 124 I think. Also, back in season 2, Arya told Tywin about Queen Visenya Targaryen, who had a Valyrian steel sword called Dark Sister. Bloodraven was the last person to wield Dark Sister and it’s probably in the cave with him now, but we never actually see it. Bloodraven probably killed a bunch of Targaryens in order to make sure the Prince that was Promised would be born (it’s theorised that this person is either Jon or Daenerys but who knows). He’s the ultimate puppet master and has been manipulating everything for the last 100 years. Later in the show, we hear about a sellsword company in Braavos called the Golden Company, which was founded by Bloodraven’s half brother, Aegor Rivers, aka Bittersteel. Bloodraven and Bittersteel were enemies, just like their mothers (their mothers’ houses, House Blackwood and House Bracken have been rivals for hundreds of years and Bittersteel and Bloodraven inherited the feud). Bittersteel was a part of Daemon Blackfyre’s rebellion and was the one who cut out Bloodraven’s eye. He fled to Essos with the rest of Daemon’s children and founded the Golden Company. Edited cause I accidentally included a massive spoiler. Mb guys
lolll she did love tyrion, he called her a whore so she just became bitter and turned on him. in the books tho i will say shae NEVER loved tyrion and it was apparent she was only with him for the riches and goodies he gave to her.
@@giaezrae that’s what I am stating. Shae never loved Tyrion in the books and they made her too likeable in the show thanks to the actress, so the viewer does not see the full picture coming. It’s just used as justification of her murder by Tyrion since she attacked him unlike the books. She canonically never loved him and so I will stand by that since the show ruined that dynamic.
@divinelangene6813 right? like she was calling Tywin "my lion" and that was her thing for Tyrion. She wasn't even doing it out of revenge because she didn't know Tyrion would hear it. So how in the world can you say she loved him when she could just hop right in the sack with Dad and pretend she loves him.
Personally I still dislike Oberyn's death probably the most in the series, cause it's such a waste that wasn't really worth it. Like yeah, ooh shock value, suspense for Tyrion, sets up his next arc and the mountain's change, blah blah etc. I would have gladly given up all that drama and suspense for the opportunity to see more of Oberyn in the series. The charm, the wit, the choreo. Easily worth more for me.
I am unironically on the side of your initial reaction to Ygritte's death. I was never personally invested in their relationship, unfortunately think Ygritte's character majorly suffered in general once she wasn't on screen with Jon all the time, and completely agree that poetically it made sense that Olly killed her considering his origin story. It is of course sad, but more like...sad on paper than something that ever made me emotional.
Sorry about that 'done' look on your handsome face. I appreciate all you do to get these reactions out. Love & grateful you continue with this incredible show. ❤ from MamaKat in Boston
I have squirreled these uploads away for when I REALLY need distraction and cheering up (you make me think of my brother, whom I can't see very often). Welp, I've been so sick that I was on the edge of having to be admitted to the hospital, and I'm just really weak still and faint. It's hard to just... be fine with not moving at all for like, a week. This video helped a lot. So sorry you lost Oberyn! Valar morghulis!
Oberyn was so awesome he left such an impression on me as a character that i completely forget he died in the same season he came in omg i only realized it from your reactions😭 in my head he was here for 2 whole seasons lmao. his death scene is so brutal he's one of the characters that deserved that the LEAST, it makes me so sad
In Episode 2, Tywin said to have Shae brought to the Tower of the Hand when Cersei outed her at the breakfast. He made her an offer she couldn't refuse.
Yay!! Genuinely wait for the unedited AND edited versions, it’s like we see your out loud thoughts and then inside thoughts through the edits (if that makes ANY sense)
I remember when I watched this ep for the first time was I around like 12 or something god the scene where Pedro's head gets smashed man I bawled my eyes out I didn't watch it for like a couple of weeks later. like from here onwards this show just kept wrecking me the red weeding was the beginning.
lol ya maybe the clapping was a bit much but you’re still spot on with your thoughts about Ygritte, especially your reflection after the fact. There really wasn’t ever going to be a way for them to be together. Even if she switched sides and renounced the wildlings, Jon would not renounce his vows to The Watch.
Some notes on that last scene in case no one mentioned it already: 1 - Tyrion and Jaime depart on WILDLY different terms in the book version of that scene. Tldr; Jaime confesses that Tyrion's previous wife Tysha (who we heard about briefly in I think season 2) actually *wasn't* a prostitute and really did love him, before Tywin did the horrible things that he did to her as punishment for Tyrion wedding a commoner. Tyrion is understandably infuriated and insults Jaime, lies that he actually did poison Joffrey, and when he goes up to the tower there's zero ambiguity that he's going up there to murder Tywin. 2 - re: Shae, I'm not sure it's spelled out but yes it is implied she wasn't some snake out to get Tyrion, but also likely the victim of circumstances. In the book she's like 15 or 16 and shown to be a bit ignorant at times, and iirc ( i may be misremembering) she's mentioned to be bruised by the time they get to trial, implying some possible abuse to get the testimony out of her.
Cersi does not love her brother, she loves her self. And because Jamie is her Twin she sees her self. She pretty much loves herself. its more cracked up than incest.
I LOVE UR GAME OF THRONES REACTIONS! Everytime u upload I pray it’s more of u watching game of thrones. Seasons 1-4 are literallly ICONIC television history. Season 5 is ok, but season 6 is ICONIC (especially the opening of the season), season 7 is ok… and then we don’t talk about season 8.
Oberyn, turning, taunting and bragging... it is difficult to watch when you know the end of it 😬Before the episode, there was a fun picture of Pedro Pascal and Lena Headey on her social media, were she was hiding his eyes, but not with her hands, only with her thumbs... When people saw it again after the episode, they were stunned 😁 It is great to live the show again through the react, even if those are part of the most intense episodes!
In the books, ser Jorhan was a creep. He kissed Dany who was 14 at the time. I'm glad they did his character better, but I'll never see him the same way. And Tyrion too...He was so disturbing and almost r*ped Sansa during their wedding night. He WANTED Sansa (a kid a kid at 13) and was disappointed that she saw him as ugly💀
omg i’m completely dead from all your reactions lol when ygritte died nothing prepared me for your reaction, not even your warning 😂 honestly i thought it was hilarious. best game of thrones reaction series ever, totally rewatchable!
Oh, Brad! Thank you so much for this! I've been having really stressful days at work since yesterday, and I needed this. Love love love your reactions. This is better than re-watching the show, to be honest. Lol
There are rumours that the Mountain didn't do those things to Elia and her kids. So it's theorized that while Oberyn was fighting for Tyrion, he was winning because Tyrion was innocent, but once he changed it to a trial about Gregor Clegane, the gods' favor switched and he lost because Gregor didn't really do it.
That Ginger Minj cutaway had me deceaseded!! 🤣 I feel this season really kicked it up on the acting! Everyone was so good! Great fun reaction.. Def subscribing to watch you watch whats to come.. 😁
So to answer brads question at around 5 minutes. Yes, people who have suffered some form of genital mutilation still can have sexual attraction. the problem is, it tends to be painful physically to have s(m)ex or to get turned on
You're not wrong You're absolutely right about how it turned out with yigrette Also watching your reaction to oberyn dying just took all the energy out of me I feel you Jojeen isn't dead in the book if that makes you feel better A lot of people didn't care about his death but it made me cry in the show I was happy to find out he was still alive in the books In the books it was all an act But also in the books she didn't try to kill him first and he just killed her out of spite In the show she loved him and she was sleeping with tywin for safety
I thought the clapping was fine and your comments on Ygritte were spot on. Love doesn’t conquer all. Your edits are hilarious, don’t change a thing when you do HotD!
I personally think Ollie had rights to his kill on Ygritte. It was a fair one. Although I'm assuming the Crows have killed their fair share of innocent wildlings too and have scum amongst their ranks. lol I believe Jon's relationship with Ygritte was more fleshed out in the books. I didn't think they got enough time in the show for me to really get attached to her. Anyway, love your reactions. :)
Oberyn is an awesome character and I loved Pedro Pascal's performance. It's probably good for him that the character dies now before the show goes downhill rapidly and he can become the Mandalorian. I will say that Oberyn's presence is given a bit more weight in the books than it is in the show, as Dorne starts to rebel against King's Landing. But they mostly cut that storyline out of the show. His niece, Arianne, takes over as the narrator of the events there but she never appears on the show. Kind of a bummer since she--like her uncle--also f!cks.
If it makes you feel better, I too missed the whole Jorah Mormont being a spy plot line with all the different storylines you have to follow. They only really mentioned he was a spy but didn’t exactly throw it in your face.
In my honest opinion I think Shae was hired and then she slowly started to fall in love with Tyrion up until the point where he went and told her what he told her...I think Tywin was using her for his own amusement to hurt Tyrion too - it's very confusing and I might be wrong but oh well 🤷♀️😂
incase you didnt realise why Oberyn wanted the Mountain to confess so bad (i didnt get it until i read it somewhere lol), it was because he wanted him to admitt Tywin gave him the order. With that Dorne could rightfully go to war with Kings Landing. A lot of people get annoyed with him for not just killing the Moutain but he had good reasons to want a confession from him and Tywin
They could simply just side with daenerys once her dragons become big enough and she reaches westeros, people always lose when they let their emotions get the best of them. Now the mountain might become worse and torture and kill more people, Tywin did get what he deserved in the end.

The only way he was going to win that fight is with speed and he was out speeding him and dodging him left and right.

I'm glad you understand where Sansa was coming from when she lied for Little Finger. I have seen a few reactors think "she was in love with him" which seems insane to me. She doesn't love him, she just knows he wants her, and in turn, will keep her safe. Period!
This is when she started playing the game of thrones - putting into action what she had learned from Cersei
Exactly, she's trying to survive. She knows he won't hand her to the lannisters because he's obsessed with her while the others might trade her in for gold or their own safety.
imo she is mimicking him, Sansa is kind of famous for adopting the physical appearance of the people she wants to be like, so true to form she starts wearing dark hair and dark cloaks because that's what Littlefinger wears and she sees Littlefinger as somebody who is an expert at the playing the game and wants to be like him and learn from him. and doing it in a sexy way is also, in her mind, her first step towards manipulating somebody, and she feels safe practicing on him because she knows Littlefinger wants her alive to marry.

If I recall even Cervei gets angry at the maester about the smell and the maester basically says "I did literally everything I could 🤷♂️", and I can't remember if it was intentional or not but his corpse is left with a smile on his face that is actually described as humiliating and stupid looking for what was perceived as such a stern and powerful man.
Well yeah cause in the book he was shot in the bowels first and the heart second
thank you for understanding why Dany made Jorah leave lol. So many reactors get pissed with her and call her stupid, but like she's not watching the show like us she doesnt know that Tywins made it a calcuated move. She's a queen and cant let someone who spied on her have no consequences AND know everything she's planning. Yes he's changed but she cant trust him anymore. And on a more personal note he was once all she had when she was sent to Drogo and felt safe with Jorah, so she wouldve been deeply hurt he put her and her babys life in danger
Exactly! And she proved early on that she will not stand for lying and deceit with Xaro Daxos in Qarth. It would actually be off-brand for her to suddenly start forgiving people that betray her now.
Plus, he had time for telling her himself instead of letting go hoping nobody would find out. He could have been sincere with her, but he never told her. So he ended up getting caught, even if not being a traitor anymore
i wouldn’t say anymore tho lol
Exactly. It always infuriates me that people don’t see this from Danny’s perspective.
While I agree Jorah should have told her way earlier himself, I feel he didn’t really defend himself that well. Maybe he was shell shocked how things turned. But, she basically absolved her followers back in season 1 before she went into Drogo’s pyre. She said anyone that remains gets to start over and follow her. I think Jorah could have said I was on the fence but when I saw you after the fire with the Dragons that is when I feel to my knees and fully committed himself to her. Not sure if it would help, but he could have made a stronger argument.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone clap and cheer at Ygritte’s death, you’re such a trailblazer babe 😂 legendary reaction
"I definitely understand how this could've been emotional." is a BEAUTIFUL LINE lol
I honestly don't think you should HAVE to feel for or like every character even if they're a kind of main one, basically what I'm saying is you GO OFF, KING! lmao
This really is the first episode that we see "silly sansa" has been paying attention the entire time.
You have no idea how grateful i am for this! Waaay more entertaining than actually rewatching the show 😂
Brinne's fight is my favorite fight of the show. They start "knightly" like, using swords and relying on their armor. But fighting isn't clean and glorious, at the end, they are just two people struggling to survive against one another, they are dirty, sweaty and bloody, using every inch of their strength to beat one another to death, and that's brutal and horrific. The performance of Gwendoline Christie is just perfect to encompass that, her screams are chilling and real. I love that scene so fucking much!
I love how u were shocked for minutes about Oberyn being gone, but not mention anything about his horrific very graphic death scene... 😂 You're truly a desensitised GOT-Fan now ❤
honey at this point ive seen it all lol
The men reciting their vows as they hold the gait against the giant is one of the most emotionally impactful moments of the series for me
So in the books it was very obvious that shay was only with Tyrion for money and riches. She kept asking him for it and when she would get new fancy stuff from him but he was so blinded and didn't even think she could betray him. In the show I feel like she was a different character were she actually loved him until he told her to leave and called her a whore.
Tbf in the book Tyrion betrayed her first - he repeatedly changed the terms of their contract without her consent, and also took back the payment already rendered. She arguably both liked him AND wanted her fair payment. Plus he told her what happened to his last wife, so she knew going against Tywin was a fate worse than death.
I definitely think that’s a pretty good read on their dynamic in the books. There’s also more of an uncomfortable power dynamic because book Shay is far younger and because she doesn’t love Tyrion, is sort of just trapped in this really dangerous work situation. So she’s very openly just after his money, but also he’s blinded by his feelings for her and this power dynamic he’s created where her survival depends on this much older man. She betrays him, but also is crying and begging for him not to hurt her when he kills her, if I recall. So the whole scene is really different.
fun fact, the finale aired on FATHER'S DAY the year it came out fkjansdfjkandsk the jokes on twitter were lit.
I love how Gilly makes Sam a stronger person. And she is also such a strong character in her own right.
Also when you said “….me” as Sansa when she is talking about Lysa fearing LF falling for a younger woman I LAUGHED so hard and rewatched it like 5 times lmao
Ugh your "Hold the door" era is coming and idk what I'm gonna do when I watch lol
Something about that scene is so messed up, i end up crying everytime
I am so freaking proud of you for taking on this series. I already watched your other reactions before this. But this series is such a huge commitment and you've far exceeded my expectations on editing. It must take AGES! You've done an incredible job so far, and I'm loving watching this series.
Also, I felt the same as you about Ygritte. I'm only really sad for Jon because he's the love of my life and he's sad 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
you got this out so fast omg 😭😭 I feel like we need to appreciate your editing skills more it's always so funny and you do it SO FAST??
"HOLY F*CKIN' SH*TBALLS! THAT WAS GRAPHIC! CHONKY HAMMER IN THE SKULL PEOPLE!" CRYINGGGG 🤣🤣🤣
I know it won't come for a while, but lord am I ready for Brad's reactions to the rest of this show
If you'll remember back when Stannis and Davos were still at Dragon, and they received Sam's message about the White Walkers. Stannis believed it, and took it seriously!!😊
Arya's giggle at the Bloody Gate with the Hound is hysterical. He just can't seem to get paid for her. Then, she ends up robbing him.
Sansa is learning to play the game. I always felt bad for her.
Love your reactions lol
every episode of season 4 was a gaggery of the year, I remember it airing
Removing just the "pillar" wouldn't affect the sex drive, but removing the "stones" definitely can reduce it, but not always, and not necessarily completely. It doesn't change someone's natural sexual orientation. It just impacts the degree to which those feelings might be felt. And of course sexuality also has different components - sexual attraction, aesthetic/physical attraction, romantic attraction, emotional attraction, intellectual attraction, etc.... Clearly Grey Worm is attracted to Missandei and cares about her, even without, well, whatever he's missing. The absence of testosterone, assuming he's missing the "stones", can impact the degree and expression of that attraction, though.
14:33
Holy shit..... I never realised tywin's death was foreshadowed.....
I had the opposite reaction to you to Jon and Igrid. On first watch I was very emotional. On a rewatch I was like, "wait... she's like part of these cannibals killing families and letting them eat even kids... She's literally a murdering killer and she's mad at Jon because he has a heart...." so on a rewatch I was like, "Umm... Deserved" lol
BRAD YOU ARE FEEDING US!!!! Tired and stressed out from coursework so you uploading so soon after the last GOT is saving my mental health today, thank you king 🙏🏾✨
Thank you for all the time and effort you've put into these reactions☺️
I hope you have an incredible Christmas💗
OH BRAD the way you keep us fed -- after last episode I thought you'd take a bit to upload this part but no babes you were ON IT for the hunties! your reactions were priceless here lmfao. the goopery, the gaggery... it was all too much and yet so gleefully fulfilling! TEEHEE! CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON 5! buckle in boy 💋🐲⚔
VALAR MORGHULIS, KING 🔥
RIP to my Bi-con Oberyn
Getting myself a drink to watch right now 🍸 makes it feel like we're all watching it together and gossiping about it ❤
Best way to describe it!
I came from reddit...and MY GOD, I'm staying for EVERYTHING!!! These reaction vid's are no joke! Thank you reddit!
This is honestly the BEST series ever to react to, and you do an AMAZING job! Thank you for the laughs 😄
Don’t know if anyone has ever said this apologise if they have but. Fun fact u never see Bronn or Cersie on screen at the same time through the whole series as the actors were together in real life has a messy split and only agreed to continue if they didn’t have to film the same day. 😂
"Prepare yourself to be mad"🤣🤣🤣 That should be Game of Throne's motto...
The old man who Bran meets has a super interesting backstory that isn’t elaborated on in the show. His name is Brynden Rivers, aka Bloodraven (because he has a red birthmark on his face in the shape of a raven). Bloodraven was the bastard son of King Aegon IV aka Aegon the Unworthy. When his bastard half brother Daemon Blackfyre rebelled against the throne, Bloodraven stood by his true born brother, King Daeron II, and killed Daemon and two of hei sons in battle. When Daeron died, his son Aerys I became king and Bloodraven was his Hand/Master of Whisperers. He used his abilities as a warg to spy on people. There was a common saying in this era, “How many eyes does Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes and one” since he lost an eye in battle. He was also Hand to Maester Aemon’s father, Maekar, but after he died, there was a succession crisis. Bloodraven promised Aenys Blackfyre safe passage to King’s Landing so he could make a claim to the throne, but then Bloodraven beheaded him anyway. Maester Aemon’s brother, Aegon, became king and sentenced Bloodraven to death for the murder of Aenys Blackfyre, but he chose to take the black. Maester Aemon went with him. Bloodraven ended up becoming Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, but when he was in his 70s he went missing North of the Wall. People assumed his died, but we know now that he became the Three Eyed Raven. Right now, he’s 124 I think. Also, back in season 2, Arya told Tywin about Queen Visenya Targaryen, who had a Valyrian steel sword called Dark Sister. Bloodraven was the last person to wield Dark Sister and it’s probably in the cave with him now, but we never actually see it. Bloodraven probably killed a bunch of Targaryens in order to make sure the Prince that was Promised would be born (it’s theorised that this person is either Jon or Daenerys but who knows). He’s the ultimate puppet master and has been manipulating everything for the last 100 years.
Later in the show, we hear about a sellsword company in Braavos called the Golden Company, which was founded by Bloodraven’s half brother, Aegor Rivers, aka Bittersteel. Bloodraven and Bittersteel were enemies, just like their mothers (their mothers’ houses, House Blackwood and House Bracken have been rivals for hundreds of years and Bittersteel and Bloodraven inherited the feud). Bittersteel was a part of Daemon Blackfyre’s rebellion and was the one who cut out Bloodraven’s eye. He fled to Essos with the rest of Daemon’s children and founded the Golden Company.
Edited cause I accidentally included a massive spoiler. Mb guys
Brad popping back in to defend himself from the Jon x Ygritte Stans is so funny (I am also a Jon x Ygritte truther)
Needed this today! So excited. Been loving your reactions, and I’m sure this will be no different! Watching now.
This season is my favorite! I’m glad you enjoyed it. ❤❤
Brad realising that Shae never loved Tyrion is priceless 😂
lolll she did love tyrion, he called her a whore so she just became bitter and turned on him. in the books tho i will say shae NEVER loved tyrion and it was apparent she was only with him for the riches and goodies he gave to her.
@@giaezrae that’s what I am stating. Shae never loved Tyrion in the books and they made her too likeable in the show thanks to the actress, so the viewer does not see the full picture coming. It’s just used as justification of her murder by Tyrion since she attacked him unlike the books. She canonically never loved him and so I will stand by that since the show ruined that dynamic.
I personally don't believe she loved him in the show either.
@@ShittyShittyGameGangSame , you cant turn that easily on someone you claim to love
@divinelangene6813 right? like she was calling Tywin "my lion" and that was her thing for Tyrion. She wasn't even doing it out of revenge because she didn't know Tyrion would hear it. So how in the world can you say she loved him when she could just hop right in the sack with Dad and pretend she loves him.
I love how we all feel the same
Way abt this show - it puts us through hell and back but we still love it!
Personally I still dislike Oberyn's death probably the most in the series, cause it's such a waste that wasn't really worth it. Like yeah, ooh shock value, suspense for Tyrion, sets up his next arc and the mountain's change, blah blah etc. I would have gladly given up all that drama and suspense for the opportunity to see more of Oberyn in the series. The charm, the wit, the choreo. Easily worth more for me.
I am unironically on the side of your initial reaction to Ygritte's death. I was never personally invested in their relationship, unfortunately think Ygritte's character majorly suffered in general once she wasn't on screen with Jon all the time, and completely agree that poetically it made sense that Olly killed her considering his origin story. It is of course sad, but more like...sad on paper than something that ever made me emotional.
RIP Oberyn Martell. What an amazing character. And what a horrible way to die. Pedro Pascal did a fantastic job with him, though.
"This might mean that one of them might die. or both of them. or all of them!"
Glad to know you understand how it works now
🤣
Sorry about that 'done' look on your handsome face. I appreciate all you do to get these reactions out. Love & grateful you continue with this incredible show. ❤ from MamaKat in Boston
Love these videos your editing is top knotch and you're videos are the only ones that can keep me entertained throughout the whole duration ❤❤😂
I have squirreled these uploads away for when I REALLY need distraction and cheering up (you make me think of my brother, whom I can't see very often). Welp, I've been so sick that I was on the edge of having to be admitted to the hospital, and I'm just really weak still and faint. It's hard to just... be fine with not moving at all for like, a week. This video helped a lot. So sorry you lost Oberyn! Valar morghulis!
Oberyn was so awesome he left such an impression on me as a character that i completely forget he died in the same season he came in omg i only realized it from your reactions😭 in my head he was here for 2 whole seasons lmao. his death scene is so brutal he's one of the characters that deserved that the LEAST, it makes me so sad
In Episode 2, Tywin said to have Shae brought to the Tower of the Hand when Cersei outed her at the breakfast. He made her an offer she couldn't refuse.
Yay!! Genuinely wait for the unedited AND edited versions, it’s like we see your out loud thoughts and then inside thoughts through the edits (if that makes ANY sense)
Omg I was having the worst day!! I’m a nurse in the ER and you just made my day so much better. Love ur reactions!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for everything you do. I was saved from certain death by nurses and doctors but I must say, NURSES ROCK
I remember when I watched this ep for the first time was I around like 12 or something god the scene where Pedro's head gets smashed man I bawled my eyes out I didn't watch it for like a couple of weeks later. like from here onwards this show just kept wrecking me the red weeding was the beginning.
😂😂😂 that snooki cut!!! “Ok hold my earrings” Thats me the entire series.
lol ya maybe the clapping was a bit much but you’re still spot on with your thoughts about Ygritte, especially your reflection after the fact. There really wasn’t ever going to be a way for them to be together. Even if she switched sides and renounced the wildlings, Jon would not renounce his vows to The Watch.
Some notes on that last scene in case no one mentioned it already:
1 - Tyrion and Jaime depart on WILDLY different terms in the book version of that scene. Tldr; Jaime confesses that Tyrion's previous wife Tysha (who we heard about briefly in I think season 2) actually *wasn't* a prostitute and really did love him, before Tywin did the horrible things that he did to her as punishment for Tyrion wedding a commoner. Tyrion is understandably infuriated and insults Jaime, lies that he actually did poison Joffrey, and when he goes up to the tower there's zero ambiguity that he's going up there to murder Tywin.
2 - re: Shae, I'm not sure it's spelled out but yes it is implied she wasn't some snake out to get Tyrion, but also likely the victim of circumstances. In the book she's like 15 or 16 and shown to be a bit ignorant at times, and iirc ( i may be misremembering) she's mentioned to be bruised by the time they get to trial, implying some possible abuse to get the testimony out of her.
“Valar Morghulis” so excited to see the rest of the show! So glad you’re enjoying as much as you are
YOUR EDITING PLS 👏🏼 i love it so so much!!!!
Literally JUST refreshed your channel to rewatch part 1 and Part 2 is here waiting for me. Thank youuuu❤❤❤
your videos only make me like this show more, your editing is hilarious and your insight is so clever
-knights watch kills the giant
Brad: "Congrats" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Season 4 has been given three videos, as it deserves! What a season!!
Six assignments due Friday - who cares, Brad uploaded 🤷🏾😔
The "I wanna be giving when I die" GOT ME 😂😂😂😂😂
Cersi does not love her brother, she loves her self. And because Jamie is her Twin she sees her self. She pretty much loves herself. its more cracked up than incest.
😂😂😂😂😂😂Shes a messed up woman
well that was probably the best season of television
I LOVE UR GAME OF THRONES REACTIONS! Everytime u upload I pray it’s more of u watching game of thrones. Seasons 1-4 are literallly ICONIC television history. Season 5 is ok, but season 6 is ICONIC (especially the opening of the season), season 7 is ok… and then we don’t talk about season 8.
Season 6 is next level television
Thank you for continuing this series. I’m so glad you decided to keep reacting to it. Can’t wait for next seasons ❤️
It was a mistake to send Jorah away! He was the best for her! Jorah will always be my favorite character! ❤🙌🏻
I busted out laughing when you said “prepare yourselves to be mad” and it cut to you clapping
Oberyn, turning, taunting and bragging... it is difficult to watch when you know the end of it 😬Before the episode, there was a fun picture of Pedro Pascal and Lena Headey on her social media, were she was hiding his eyes, but not with her hands, only with her thumbs... When people saw it again after the episode, they were stunned 😁
It is great to live the show again through the react, even if those are part of the most intense episodes!
“You’ve both got gobs, you’ve both got fingers.” Oh man, I love your reactions!
In the books, ser Jorhan was a creep. He kissed Dany who was 14 at the time. I'm glad they did his character better, but I'll never see him the same way. And Tyrion too...He was so disturbing and almost r*ped Sansa during their wedding night. He WANTED Sansa (a kid a kid at 13) and was disappointed that she saw him as ugly💀
omg i’m completely dead from all your reactions lol when ygritte died nothing prepared me for your reaction, not even your warning 😂 honestly i thought it was hilarious. best game of thrones reaction series ever, totally rewatchable!
Oh, Brad! Thank you so much for this! I've been having really stressful days at work since yesterday, and I needed this. Love love love your reactions. This is better than re-watching the show, to be honest. Lol
There are rumours that the Mountain didn't do those things to Elia and her kids. So it's theorized that while Oberyn was fighting for Tyrion, he was winning because Tyrion was innocent, but once he changed it to a trial about Gregor Clegane, the gods' favor switched and he lost because Gregor didn't really do it.
That Ginger Minj cutaway had me deceaseded!! 🤣
I feel this season really kicked it up on the acting! Everyone was so good! Great fun reaction.. Def subscribing to watch you watch whats to come.. 😁
So to answer brads question at around 5 minutes. Yes, people who have suffered some form of genital mutilation still can have sexual attraction. the problem is, it tends to be painful physically to have s(m)ex or to get turned on
Your hair is ✨giving ✨ this season
The Ironborn were at Moat Calin, it's in the north. They were hold up there ever since they left Winterfell, and turned Theon over to the Boltons.😊
There’s still so much ahead too I can’t wait for your reactions to it!
I have never watched GOT and don't ever plan to but I really enjoy watching Brad react to it.
I look forward to seeing more.
I’ve watched plenty of GOT reactions but yours honestly have made me laugh out load the most times 😂😂
You're not wrong
You're absolutely right about how it turned out with yigrette
Also watching your reaction to oberyn dying just took all the energy out of me
I feel you
Jojeen isn't dead in the book if that makes you feel better
A lot of people didn't care about his death but it made me cry in the show
I was happy to find out he was still alive in the books
In the books it was all an act
But also in the books she didn't try to kill him first and he just killed her out of spite
In the show she loved him and she was sleeping with tywin for safety
I thought the clapping was fine and your comments on Ygritte were spot on.
Love doesn’t conquer all.
Your edits are hilarious, don’t change a thing when you do HotD!
I personally think Ollie had rights to his kill on Ygritte. It was a fair one. Although I'm assuming the Crows have killed their fair share of innocent wildlings too and have scum amongst their ranks. lol
I believe Jon's relationship with Ygritte was more fleshed out in the books. I didn't think they got enough time in the show for me to really get attached to her. Anyway, love your reactions. :)
I love rewatching game of thrones through your channel so much more than actually rewatching it😭❤️❤️
Oberyn is an awesome character and I loved Pedro Pascal's performance. It's probably good for him that the character dies now before the show goes downhill rapidly and he can become the Mandalorian. I will say that Oberyn's presence is given a bit more weight in the books than it is in the show, as Dorne starts to rebel against King's Landing. But they mostly cut that storyline out of the show. His niece, Arianne, takes over as the narrator of the events there but she never appears on the show. Kind of a bummer since she--like her uncle--also f!cks.
OMG Brad I love love LOVED this reaction!!! Thank you for all your hard work and editing. Love this all!! See you next time 😁👌👏💖
Highlighting my day! thank you
If it makes you feel better, I too missed the whole Jorah Mormont being a spy plot line with all the different storylines you have to follow.
They only really mentioned he was a spy but didn’t exactly throw it in your face.
In my honest opinion I think Shae was hired and then she slowly started to fall in love with Tyrion up until the point where he went and told her what he told her...I think Tywin was using her for his own amusement to hurt Tyrion too - it's very confusing and I might be wrong but oh well 🤷♀️😂
It’s ok Brad, we forgive you. You made very good points too.
I’m so excited for you to witness how quickly this masterpiece went downhill after season 4!! yaaaas
