Tyrion asked LF to deliver the remains after LF Confronts Tyrion about the marriage misdirection move, also Tyrion also asked him to try and negotiate a prisoner exchange by asking Cat not Rob.
It really wasn't kindness.. he said he was sure Robb wasn't going to give them Jaime. So he sent Littlefinger to negotiate with Cat, knowing she would be softer with him, bringing Ned's remains and talking about her daughters. It was a smart move.
"Is he a ham?" One of my favorite lines in this season! That & last episode when Tyrion tells the hill tribesmen: --"Cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats." -- "Theres no goats" --Then, make do!" Best show ever, hands down.
Glad you caught that Sansa was playing the game! By this point, she hated Joffrey with every fiber of her being, but she knew she had to follow him to stay alive. That's strength!
He did it to placate Dorne. Doran is just as aware of the rumors that Viserys has a Dothraki horde. Who do you think Dorne would side with if he landed? Tyrion hoped to avoid Dorne supporting a Targaryen restoration. He knows Doran and especially Oberyn hate the Lannisters. If he wanted Marcella safe a much better option would be Casterly Rock. This was more political. SPOILER BELOW.. Remember they are well aware Lannister men under Tywin's orders killed Elia.
Would Casterly Rock not be another target for the rebellion? Could the Lannisters muster forces to hold both KL and CR? Yes it was political and it was to try to mend the bad blood between Dorne and the Lannisters. But it also was less of a target because of the bad blood too.
Yeah! Sansa played the game already in season 2. I’m glad you see what she really is and don’t blame her for the way she acts. There is no shame in it, that she pretend to be loyal to Joffrey. She wants to be alive. And let’s not forget that she is a thirteen old child. Love your reaction!!!!
Flaima Seeing her father's beheading definitely put a scare in her she even fainted remember so yeah she was shit scared of dying , seemgly living coward is better than an early brave meaningless death , however if I saw someone doing this to my father I would lose fear all together! , the only thing I'll fear then is not living to avenge him .
Poor Sansa is just trying to survive at this point. It has nothing to do with playing the game, as she isn't in a position of power. She's just a hostage who says what needs to be said to live. And while we believe Tyrion is the best of the Lannisters because we see his goodness in other scenes, she doesn't know who to trust (if anyone) at this point. All she knows is if she says or does the wrong thing, she could die.
We could say she's doing her best considering she's only a piece in the game of thrones. She's trying to stay alive by at least knowing how to position herself as a piece and I quite like her for being able to see that.
@Julia dexter oh my gosh if you think understanding the context of the situation is giving excuses. Not all people are "that mature" at the same age. Are you serious right now?

Placid Dragon … Good explanation. No spoilers, but very informative, and, although Nikki and Steven have been pretty much on point, they still need a bit of clarification. Yoren is the "badass" Night's Watch recruiter. …. PEACE.
I’m obsessed too! It’s because I love watching others react to things I’ve seen that are good. Sometimes they overreact and sometimes they notice things I didn’t even notice when I watched. It’s pretty fun!
You guys’ reactions are the best! So much fun to watch! And I’m glad you guys picked up on Tyrion’s comment about “Lady Stark, you may survive us yet” and seeing that Sansa is learning to play the game to survive. Also, the wars and kings fighting, they call it the War of Five Kings - Joffrey, Stannis, Renly, Robb, and Baelon Greyjoy
"There's no cure for being a cunt." One of the best Bronn quotes from the show, and from the show in general. Great reactions by the way. It only get's better and better.
You should really consired to watch the 'History and Lore' video's in youtube for season 1 and 2 after you finish season 2. They don't spoil anything about the later seasons but they explain sooooo much more about the world of Westeros, the magic, the history of Westeros and the family relations. It really helps your understanding of the Game of Thrones universe.
Tywin is not actually king. He's simply a lord and the patriarch of the Lannister family as well as the past and current hand of the king. That being said even when he was hand to Aeris Targerrion it was said that he was really the man in charge of the kingdom. And that's basically what Tywin always is in whatever position he's in, in charge.
Tyrion said in a small council meeting that they should give the Starks the bones of Ned as a sign of goodwill so they can negotiate the terms for Jaime and the girls
One of the reason I love GoT. Even the villians in these series are great characters. I can hate Joeffrey Baratheon as much that I want, but I have to admit his character is well written. He is a psycopath and a sadist. He has his own motivation, not just because of being evil. He tortured those prostitutes because he despised his uncle, wanted to show his uncle what would happen to someone tried to question him. He does believe that a king could no wrong and can do anything he likes. I blame entirely to Cersei, she created this monster named Joeffrey.
Michelle Rhoades Right! Robert shares the blame because he ignored raising Joffrey. Even on his deathbed, he sent Joffrey away; dismisses him. Joffrey's face (Jack's brilliance in that scene) shows his hurt & anger.
Are they, though? House Manderly is probably much richer than the Boltons, and White Harbor more than likely has the greatest population in the North. The difference between House Manderly and Bolton is that Roose is by far the most ambitious man in the North right now. And the Boltons are feared for their ruthlessness and the rumors that they never stopped flaying captives even though the Starks had banned the practice.
Yeah...but I don't think they're considered the 2nd most powerful house in the North (except maybe to themselves). They're like the 3rd or 4th most powerful in terms of numbers, wealth, and political power (and maybe even lower in terms of wealth). It's just that Roose is a powerful man in terms of intelligence, leadership abilities, and ambition.
Eddard's bones are from Tyrion, he says in a small council meeting "We can give him his father's bones at least" as Cersei rejects Robb's terms. And this is the "next deception" Tyrion wants Littlefinger a part of, I'd have thought "How would you like to see your beloved Cat again?"
You act like you've never seen a demon shadow baby before...;) Remember you've seen the Red Woman's powers before. She drank poison and it had no effect... Arya added the Mountain to her list. Remember Ned sent men to find him because he was murdering people in the Riverlands and the Mountain works for Tywin. He's a sadistic bastard (remember is poor horse when he lost to joust to Loras). Wait so you're doing 5 episodes tomorrow? Sweet! ;)
I don't see why people get enjoyment out of spoiling this show for others. It's just not right. They are entitled to a golden crown. Hahaha 😀😂😂. Thank You for another awesome video. They are a great way to start out my morning. Have a great day ☺❤😎
James W It's their channel and they asked if people would not spoil it for them. It's nice with people that care about it report spoiling comments to keep their channel spoil free
I always find myself checking what I'm about to write, just to make sure I'm not hinting at something yet to come. Not everyone has a perfect memory and can instantly recall the chronology of events in the show, especially when in casual discussion with other fans who are also caught up to date, and so genuine accidents can occur. Best thing for these people is to immediately delete their own comment as soon as they're made aware of their faux pas, rather than get all defensive. But as for those who deliberately go out of the way to ruin other people's enjoyment. Yeah, they're ass**les for sure. They're always gonna be lurking around somewhere to pooh-pooh on other people's fun.

You two are crushing it, episode-wise. As someone who's all caught up to this last season, I'm loving being able to sail through these with you two. Sometimes it's scary how intuitive you guys are as you're going along. Clearly you're paying attention to stuff. Great react as always, can't wait to see the next, haha.
I am so so glad you guys dont hate Sansa, so many reactors seems to hate her but they dont see that she has to play along. Love how you guys know exactly why she says the things she does. She is only a child!
Years ago I was at a Civil War museum and they had a terrible saw that looked like a bike chain. Anyways, the infocard stated that amputations should be sawed in order to ensure extra skin for sewing and to avoid bone fragments from metal striking bone.
Great reaction, great episode, great editing. You guys are doing the thing!!! Keep it rolling! Keep away from minor spoilers, too!! ( I know your mods are doing a great job, but stay away from sneeks and peeks!!!) Overall, I am very pleased. Most consistent quality start I have seen out of any GoT channel!! Thank you!!!!!
1:19 I know this series finished ages ago but I had to comment on the excellent accident that was this sentence because one of those characters in the cage is called Biter! (the one with the teeth filed to be sharp)
•you guys are, now, one of the reasons I’m happy for mornings in the beginning of the week! Over the weekend, I was watching other GOT reactants from my fav scenes over several seasons. I can’t wait to watch you react to all of it!
"WHAT IN THE HEEEELLLLL!" lol Yay!!! For once, I'm not sleeping when this came in. Thanks! Nikki - Baelor wasn't really ridiculous to say (instead of Baelish). It was the title of a significant episode, if you remember. Probably stuck in your head because of the trauma of it all. 🤣 Great reaction! 😊❤️
Tyrion did send Ned's bones 2 Cat as a gesture of goodwill. There were only bones, the Silent Sisters prepare the remains. I saw them in S1 Ep1 as they were walking around Jon Arryn's corpse.
That's fine because I love Nikki and Steve! Praytell, did U read the books? I did and am waiting 4 TWOW 4 7years now! I think that book is done and won't see the light of day till next year!
0:18 hahahahahah! That was my comment!!! You guys are so sweet together. 3:48 Rob is looking at Talisa (The Saw Woman) the same way. To him, she is as fearless as Arya.
In case you didn't catch it, Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane was recast in this episode. He's the super tall guy in Harrenhall who was picking people to torture and standing behind Tywin when he outed Arya as a girl.
Tyrion asks little finger how he would like to see cat again ( then the scene ends), Ned's body was given to them in good favor so they won't hurt Jaime Lannister. A token of good will from Tyrion
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of Nikki & Steven React. I pledge my life and honor to the Stikkers, for this night and all the nights to come."
You guys are awesome! I tried watching a few other reactors this past week and couldn't get into any of them. You're my current favorite and can't wait to watch more.
You are most welcome. Watching great re-actors is almost as fun as watching the show again and certainly keeps me excited for the last 6 episodes coming out next year. Didn't know much about subscribing to channels and all that, but looked into it and congratulations on being my first subscription!
Y'all two are so entertaining. I just love your channel. And I LOVE how fast you've been turning out these videos too. Great job and thank you for the time it takes to record, edit, and upload these.
Steven "Brother on brother crime, goin down!" Nikki "It's better than brother on brother incest..." Steven "I mean, yeah... I mean, yeah... I mean, yeah..."
@@theartofflying3580 I know, my comment was to them. It's sad that the trend in media is like this: UA-cam, Facebook and others have no problem with graphic violence but with nudity and sex they have...
@@UpMaster321 much less sex and nudity they have no issues with but it’s the idea of brother on brother incest that brought things to a screeching halt. But yeah... I think most of society has accepted that violence is a pretty normal part of story telling these days.
@@theartofflying3580 Brother on Sister action is not ok, but is more ok than murder. The point is that society gladly accepts acts of violence but when it comes to sex stuff so many things are not accepted. UA-cam will gladly show you graphic violence but nudity needs to be blured at best...for real?
Tyrion is the king of the world! Such a a great character. The most amazing thing about GOT is that there is no calm/slow episodes it's always happening something crazy, that's why there is no other like this one. It's amazing to see your reactions we all feel a little envy just because we wanted to experience everything for the first time agian. I'm guessing this is a tv series that will still be talked about by our grandchildren, years and years from now :)
Isnt it crazy how such a Fantastic job Jack Gleeson does at making the audience hate him. So funny to think he was a helpless little boy in one of the Batman movies xD
Worth noting since some people miss it, the huge dude who was in charge of Arya's captors before Tywin showed up (the one picking victims for the daily torture) is the Mountain, the Hound's brother. The reason many people miss it is because he was played by a different actor in Season 1 (and this won't be the last time he's recast either).
I love the fact that aria has to say the list of names of people she plans to kill every night before she goes to sleep. It drives the hound crazy, but it is how she kind of keeps herself going. Is she recite that list every night before bed, and it generally grows until she can actually start checking them off, which she succeeds at later on I love that girl she’s amazing
Daenerys threatening to burn the city, when she coulda just said, "Sure. You can see the dragon, if you bring us some food and water and tell us the way outta here. We don't even need to come in. We can chill out here!! When Dany and Viserys were born, the coin came up tails both times.
It doesn't matter if they told them the way. This was the first time they laid eyes on a city. Their desert stretches for hundred of miles they would be dead before they got through it. They turned them away. Most of the rulers in Westeros would do the same.
Tywin Lannister is a smart man, I was hoping he didn’t recognize Arya because if he did he would take her back to Kings Landing and she would be a prisoner with Sansa
Amputations need to be relatively precise and controlled in order to minimize the excess damage and heal properly, it's by no means a "sever" or "clean slice" like a guillotine or axe would provide. A quick for instance: above-knee leg amputation. Step one is expose the bone, so they cut "flaps" from the knee towards the thigh. From there, they cut through the bone at the chosen point with a saw. Then, they bring the flaps together over the bone to seal it. (The bone is cut further up than the flaps started, allowing the flaps to extend over the wound and seal it up). You end up with a cleanly sliced bone, covered on all sides by skin covered tissue, making infection less likely and speeding up healing. A cleanly severed leg, at the same point, would be a bloody "stump" with broken bone, and bone marrow, exposed. It's nearly impossible to keep clean from infection, is very painful, and will never heal to a clean and smooth end that could support a prosthesis. Not to mention, bone often shatters/fragments when hit by a strong impact, rather than being cut. A broken bone inside of your amputation is not a good thing.
Tyrion did send Littlefinger to Cat. If you recall from last episode, Tyrion told 3 different stories to Littlefinger, Varys, and Pycelle about where he was sending his niece to figure out who would run and tell Cersei. In a later scene, an angry Littlefinger told Tyrion that he didn't like being made a fool of, and to leave him out of his next deception. Tyrion said he wants to get his brother Jaime back. Littlefinger says "Robb Stark will never release the Kingslayer", to which Tyrion replies "No he won't. But his mother might. How would like to see your beloved Cat again"?
Just found you guys and I ADORE you! Such open-minded, smart, and genuine reactions. And I love how you both are so different in your tastes and reactions too. Great chemistry. Subscribed!!
Watching these reactions are both great fun just seeing your reactions to everything happening in the show, AND a great way for me to rewatch everything that happens in the earlier seasons before next year's final season!
Great unintentional pun....Steven says in reference to Arya " I hope letting those guys out of the cage doesn't 'bite her' later." One of the guys in the cage is named Biter. Hilarious!
Its tomorrow already??YAY now I cant wait till tomorrow!!!! thank you for being the first thing I watched today, love that you are so hooked, invested, and loving it.
Tyrion mentioned giving Ned’s bones as an offer of good will back in s2e01, and when tyrion did that “scheme” to find out pycelle was the snitch he told littlefinger “do you want to see your beloved cat again”? Tyrion expects they release Jaime trought Cat’s emotions towards her daughters...
Tywin is a strict but great man who works to benefit his house first and then the realm. He is one of the only Lannisters that actually deserve support, along with his brother Kevan Lannister. It just so happens that Tywin is the true power in Westeros as well. He is the richest and most powerful man, more powerful than all the kings at this point in the show combined. While some of his actions aren't exactly moral he is a great general and statesman and over all I think he is one of the best people in Westeros. Plus Charles Dance's performance in the show is just great.
Well obviously :P I'm just saying that my comments referred to the powers of individuals within the world of Westeros. The iron bank's influence on things cannot be understated especially when they catch up and watch the later seasons. That being said it is still irrelevant to my original statement that Tywin is the most powerful individual person in the world, especially as the bank is famously devoid of single person leadership. After all the person literally says that if he were to be killed another would take his place.
Tywin is the Hand of the King to Joffery ( as well as his grandfather) which is the position that Tyrion is filling in for right now. Also, remember when Tyrion asked Littlefinger "would you like to see your beloved Cat again?" ;)
3:30 - Has anyone else mentioned yet that the woman is played by Oona Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's grand daughter? She is named for her grandmother Oona O'Neil who was Charlie Chaplin's fourth wife and also the daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neil.
Sorry but I had to remove one of your previous comments. Our reactors aren't aware if a "certain character" is or isn't going through with his/her plan.
It's worth noting that Catelyn is probably not aware of the specifics of Littlefingers treachery. This isn't some poorly written show where everyone knows everything everyone else knows. Always be aware that you, the viewer, know more about people motivations and character and happenings than other people in the show. We distrust littlefinger, but there isn't necessarily a reason for a person in GoT to distrust him, although most do, he does have a reputation.
GRRM said that the television version of Littlefinger is very different from the books. He's often described as charasmatic, likable, and helpful. In order to gain people's trust and not view him as a threat
Another great reaction guys! I think Littlefinger and Tyrion had a mtg earlier in the episode and Tyrion pretty much implied to do something to ingratiate Littlefinger to Catlyn. Hence Ned's bones going back to the family. This show never stops building!
Tyrion as Hand of the King would have the authority to deliver Ned's bones to Cat. He wants to save Jaime and appease the Starks as much as possible especially as Stannis or Renly could attack at any time leaving the Lannisters dealing with 3 enemies at once. Of course Littlefinger always has his own motives from what we've seen of him to date.
Your videos are always right on time for my coffee break :D thank you for the great content and all the work! You guys are awesome :) Greetings from Germany
Tyrion did send Ned's remains. It was an act of kindness so he could be buried with his family.
Tyrion asked LF to deliver the remains after LF Confronts Tyrion about the marriage misdirection move, also Tyrion also asked him to try and negotiate a prisoner exchange by asking Cat not Rob.
It really wasn't kindness.. he said he was sure Robb wasn't going to give them Jaime. So he sent Littlefinger to negotiate with Cat, knowing she would be softer with him, bringing Ned's remains and talking about her daughters. It was a smart move.
It wasn't really out of kindness, it was a political move, a reach out to negotiate.
GoT trivia: That battlefield nurse, Rob is having an eye on. She's the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin. How cool is that!
finally some reactors that understand Sansa's situation.
"Born amidst salt and smoke. Is he a ham?"
That statement always gets a chuckle from me
"Is he a ham?"
One of my favorite lines in this season! That & last episode when Tyrion tells the hill tribesmen: --"Cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats."
-- "Theres no goats"
--Then, make do!"
Best show ever, hands down.
"Shut up Renly, you fruit."
I'm ashamed to admit it took me a little longer than Nikki and Steven to get the "Renly getting stabbed every night" jab made by the guards.
lol
Glad you caught that Sansa was playing the game! By this point, she hated Joffrey with every fiber of her being, but she knew she had to follow him to stay alive. That's strength!
Exactly, it's a shame that people blame her and call her weak
Exactly, it bothers me to see who blames her, but you just need to think a little about her situation, besides her being so young.
Tyrion wasn't trying to sell her off. He wanted to get her out of KL because he knows Robb ,Stannis and Renly are coming.
Also, having Dorne as an ally through marriage would be helpful.
It is known
He did it to placate Dorne. Doran is just as aware of the rumors that Viserys has a Dothraki horde. Who do you think Dorne would side with if he landed? Tyrion hoped to avoid Dorne supporting a Targaryen restoration. He knows Doran and especially Oberyn hate the Lannisters. If he wanted Marcella safe a much better option would be Casterly Rock. This was more political. SPOILER BELOW..
Remember they are well aware Lannister men under Tywin's orders killed Elia.
Would Casterly Rock not be another target for the rebellion? Could the Lannisters muster forces to hold both KL and CR? Yes it was political and it was to try to mend the bad blood between Dorne and the Lannisters. But it also was less of a target because of the bad blood too.
Eh, maybe, but I also think he did it to spite Cersei.
Yeah! Sansa played the game already in season 2. I’m glad you see what she really is and don’t blame her for the way she acts. There is no shame in it, that she pretend to be loyal to Joffrey. She wants to be alive. And let’s not forget that she is a thirteen old child.

Yes, as i said, there are Kings "all over the place" at the moment :)
PlacidDragon and that’s why Book 2 is called Clash of Kings, and furthermore, the show “Game of Thrones” because everybodyyyyyy wants to be king lol.

Because watching these helps tide us over for the next season haha
because this show gave you joy and pain and you are evil for watching other people suffer… xD
I’m obsessed too! It’s because I love watching others react to things I’ve seen that are good. Sometimes they overreact and sometimes they notice things I didn’t even notice when I watched. It’s pretty fun!
Part of the pre-show history had Tywin being the Hand of the King of Aeires II (a.k.a. The Mad King). This would explain the calculating mind he has.
RIP the farting Lannister, at least he had a good sense of humor.

I thought it was the rat in the bucket.
You guys’ reactions are the best! So much fun to watch! And I’m glad you guys picked up on Tyrion’s comment about “Lady Stark, you may survive us yet” and seeing that Sansa is learning to play the game to survive.
Also, the wars and kings fighting, they call it the War of Five Kings - Joffrey, Stannis, Renly, Robb, and Baelon Greyjoy
Davos got a front row seat to one place that is for sure dark and full of terrors.
Good thing, or he never would have the faith to ask for her help with Jon Snow.
"There's no cure for being a cunt." One of the best Bronn quotes from the show, and from the show in general. Great reactions by the way. It only get's better and better.
Hail “Stanos”! 😂
Not easy keeping up with all the names the first time around.
Brutus Judas 🤣
I loved him in Infinity War
Clearly, that's Stannis mixed with Davos. Hail! :D
I thought that was Thanis.
Haha I was going to write about this. It sounded cool though
You should really consired to watch the 'History and Lore' video's in youtube for season 1 and 2 after you finish season 2. They don't spoil anything about the later seasons but they explain sooooo much more about the world of Westeros, the magic, the history of Westeros and the family relations. It really helps your understanding of the Game of Thrones universe.
I also highly recommend cbg19 channel. she has some amazing history of westeros videos.

Tywin is not actually king. He's simply a lord and the patriarch of the Lannister family as well as the past and current hand of the king. That being said even when he was hand to Aeris Targerrion it was said that he was really the man in charge of the kingdom. And that's basically what Tywin always is in whatever position he's in, in charge.
Tyrion said in a small council meeting that they should give the Starks the bones of Ned as a sign of goodwill so they can negotiate the terms for Jaime and the girls
That fart at 2:45 was absolutely hilarious. Badass way to start an episode lol
One of the reason I love GoT. Even the villians in these series are great characters. I can hate Joeffrey Baratheon as much that I want, but I have to admit his character is well written. He is a psycopath and a sadist. He has his own motivation, not just because of being evil. He tortured those prostitutes because he despised his uncle, wanted to show his uncle what would happen to someone tried to question him. He does believe that a king could no wrong and can do anything he likes. I blame entirely to Cersei, she created this monster named Joeffrey.
Robert shares the blame. We know he wasn' the little psycho's dad, but he didn't.
Michelle Rhoades Right! Robert shares the blame because he ignored raising Joffrey. Even on his deathbed, he sent Joffrey away; dismisses him. Joffrey's face (Jack's brilliance in that scene) shows his hurt & anger.
Not to mention the fact that he is a bastard born of incest...remember the line about Targaryens & flipping a coin...
Stannis, Tywin, and Roose Bolton (the older guy advising Robb). Three of the most alpha men in Westeros.
i like Roose Bolton actor so much, he's EXACTLY like in a books, his voice is amazing, great casting
Sacrificial Lamb Roose Bolton is no Alpha lol
Compared to Tywin, everyone else is beta.
crazy cat lady no leeches though ☹️
On your knees for the Lord of The Dreadfort!
Kudo's to you Steven on the editing in this episode. Spot on to the key points we would want to see you both react to. Another fantastic reaction.
Robb's advisor is named Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort. 2nd most powerful house in the North.
Are they, though? House Manderly is probably much richer than the Boltons, and White Harbor more than likely has the greatest population in the North. The difference between House Manderly and Bolton is that Roose is by far the most ambitious man in the North right now. And the Boltons are feared for their ruthlessness and the rumors that they never stopped flaying captives even though the Starks had banned the practice.
They had 4k soldiers that went south with Robb. 20% of the northern host
Yeah...but I don't think they're considered the 2nd most powerful house in the North (except maybe to themselves). They're like the 3rd or 4th most powerful in terms of numbers, wealth, and political power (and maybe even lower in terms of wealth). It's just that Roose is a powerful man in terms of intelligence, leadership abilities, and ambition.
Nikki's very powerful verbal reaction to the very interesting "baby"scene just hillarious! 😂😂
Eddard's bones are from Tyrion, he says in a small council meeting "We can give him his father's bones at least" as Cersei rejects Robb's terms. And this is the "next deception" Tyrion wants Littlefinger a part of, I'd have thought "How would you like to see your beloved Cat again?"
"What you doin' tonight" 😂 best line ever!
You act like you've never seen a demon shadow baby before...;)
Remember you've seen the Red Woman's powers before. She drank poison and it had no effect...
Arya added the Mountain to her list. Remember Ned sent men to find him because he was murdering people in the Riverlands and the Mountain works for Tywin. He's a sadistic bastard (remember is poor horse when he lost to joust to Loras).
Wait so you're doing 5 episodes tomorrow? Sweet! ;)
I don't see why people get enjoyment out of spoiling this show for others. It's just not right. They are entitled to a golden crown. Hahaha 😀😂😂.
Thank You for another awesome video. They are a great way to start out my morning. Have a great day ☺❤😎
James W It's their channel and they asked if people would not spoil it for them. It's nice with people that care about it report spoiling comments to keep their channel spoil free
I always find myself checking what I'm about to write, just to make sure I'm not hinting at something yet to come. Not everyone has a perfect memory and can instantly recall the chronology of events in the show, especially when in casual discussion with other fans who are also caught up to date, and so genuine accidents can occur.
Best thing for these people is to immediately delete their own comment as soon as they're made aware of their faux pas, rather than get all defensive.
But as for those who deliberately go out of the way to ruin other people's enjoyment. Yeah, they're ass**les for sure. They're always gonna be lurking around somewhere to pooh-pooh on other people's fun.
*The Lady in Red* _by Ser Davos (the Onion Knight):_
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright ...
The lady in red ... is birthing a demon, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
And your smoke baby.
You two are crushing it, episode-wise. As someone who's all caught up to this last season, I'm loving being able to sail through these with you two. Sometimes it's scary how intuitive you guys are as you're going along. Clearly you're paying attention to stuff. Great react as always, can't wait to see the next, haha.
Exactly Steven, Sansa is indeed playing the game. Also both of your faces when Melisandre is birthing her "baby", priceless.
I am so so glad you guys dont hate Sansa, so many reactors seems to hate her but they dont see that she has to play along. Love how you guys know exactly why she says the things she does. She is only a child!
Around this time the author of this story wrote Jack Gleeson aka Joffery a letter. It read.... Congratulations, everybody hates you!
Rull Mourn and jack knew it meant he nailed it 👌💪💚😂
A character everybody loves to hate. Means an acting job well played.
Age Of The Witch...Exactly.
Jack Gleason was in Batman too. I don't remember if it was Batman Begins or Dark Knight but he was very young.
Years ago I was at a Civil War museum and they had a terrible saw that looked like a bike chain. Anyways, the infocard stated that amputations should be sawed in order to ensure extra skin for sewing and to avoid bone fragments from metal striking bone.
Great reaction, great episode, great editing. You guys are doing the thing!!! Keep it rolling! Keep away from minor spoilers, too!! ( I know your mods are doing a great job, but stay away from sneeks and peeks!!!) Overall, I am very pleased. Most consistent quality start I have seen out of any GoT channel!! Thank you!!!!!
1:19 I know this series finished ages ago but I had to comment on the excellent accident that was this sentence because one of those characters in the cage is called Biter! (the one with the teeth filed to be sharp)
•you guys are, now, one of the reasons I’m happy for mornings in the beginning of the week!
Over the weekend, I was watching other GOT reactants from my fav scenes over several seasons. I can’t wait to watch you react to all of it!
"WHAT IN THE HEEEELLLLL!" lol
Yay!!! For once, I'm not sleeping when this came in. Thanks!
Nikki - Baelor wasn't really ridiculous to say (instead of Baelish). It was the title of a significant episode, if you remember. Probably stuck in your head because of the trauma of it all. 🤣
Great reaction! 😊❤️
Really well edited episode Shhteve! You caught alot of the great parts !!
Tyrion did send Ned's bones 2 Cat as a gesture of goodwill. There were only bones, the Silent Sisters prepare the remains. I saw them in S1 Ep1 as they were walking around Jon Arryn's corpse.
Angel Pabon Jr your other comment is an obvious spoiler so I erased it sorry !
That's fine because I love Nikki and Steve! Praytell, did U read the books? I did and am waiting 4 TWOW 4 7years now! I think that book is done and won't see the light of day till next year!
0:18 hahahahahah! That was my comment!!! You guys are so sweet together. 3:48 Rob is looking at Talisa (The Saw Woman) the same way. To him, she is as fearless as Arya.
In case you didn't catch it, Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane was recast in this episode. He's the super tall guy in Harrenhall who was picking people to torture and standing behind Tywin when he outed Arya as a girl.
This. Thanks for remembering to point that out! =)
Ser Elryk Yeah, hopefully they see the comment or figured it out themselves.
Tyrion asks little finger how he would like to see cat again ( then the scene ends), Ned's body was given to them in good favor so they won't hurt Jaime Lannister. A token of good will from Tyrion
Another good one, keep on truckin guys....but beware, for the internet is dark and full of spoilers...
MunkyNZ We are the Watchers on the Comment wall , we will tolerate no spoilers lol
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
It shall not end until my death.
I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.

I am the watcher on the walls.
I am the shield that guards the realms of Nikki & Steven React.
I pledge my life and honor to the Stikkers, for this night and all the nights to come."
Love a earlier morning reaction. Thanks Steven & Nikki !!!
( 3:30 am here )
You guys are awesome! I tried watching a few other reactors this past week and couldn't get into any of them. You're my current favorite and can't wait to watch more.
Bobby Christensen Thank you! - Nikki
You are most welcome. Watching great re-actors is almost as fun as watching the show again and certainly keeps me excited for the last 6 episodes coming out next year. Didn't know much about subscribing to channels and all that, but looked into it and congratulations on being my first subscription!
I've never seen a GoT reaction channel get so many views each video so fast.. You two must be doing something right! Keep it up! :3
Sphynx Right?!?! It's crazy!! I guess we are 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ - Nikki
Y'all two are so entertaining. I just love your channel. And I LOVE how fast you've been turning out these videos too.
Great job and thank you for the time it takes to record, edit, and upload these.
Steven "Brother on brother crime, goin down!"
Nikki "It's better than brother on brother incest..."
Steven "I mean, yeah... I mean, yeah... I mean, yeah..."
So i guess murder and violence is better that sex and nudity, nice logic :)
@@UpMaster321 not my comments... I just found the uncomfortable reaction really funny.
@@theartofflying3580 I know, my comment was to them. It's sad that the trend in media is like this: UA-cam, Facebook and others have no problem with graphic violence but with nudity and sex they have...
@@UpMaster321 much less sex and nudity they have no issues with but it’s the idea of brother on brother incest that brought things to a screeching halt. But yeah... I think most of society has accepted that violence is a pretty normal part of story telling these days.
@@theartofflying3580 Brother on Sister action is not ok, but is more ok than murder. The point is that society gladly accepts acts of violence but when it comes to sex stuff so many things are not accepted. UA-cam will gladly show you graphic violence but nudity needs to be blured at best...for real?
Damn I can’t believe that checking your channel 2 hrs earlier than usual works also!
Me toooooo!
A pleasant surprise indeed!
"Are you ready to jump into it?"
"Yessssss" :)
Tyrion is the king of the world! Such a a great character. The most amazing thing about GOT is that there is no calm/slow episodes it's always happening something crazy, that's why there is no other like this one. It's amazing to see your reactions we all feel a little envy just because we wanted to experience everything for the first time agian. I'm guessing this is a tv series that will still be talked about by our grandchildren, years and years from now :)
"What a sick F***" Lol another reaction i enjoyed will see you guys tomorrrow for the next one :)
My favorite part 9:13 Nikki's barely audible "Oh yeah". Followed closely by "You badass, beoytch!"
Isnt it crazy how such a Fantastic job Jack Gleeson does at making the audience hate him. So funny to think he was a helpless little boy in one of the Batman movies xD
15:41 lol Stannos = thanos, Stannos is the one true thanos
Worth noting since some people miss it, the huge dude who was in charge of Arya's captors before Tywin showed up (the one picking victims for the daily torture) is the Mountain, the Hound's brother. The reason many people miss it is because he was played by a different actor in Season 1 (and this won't be the last time he's recast either).
Only these reactions can get me to wake up an hour early...well done my friends.
Man you guys spoil us so much! We're not worthy. I'm so excited for the coming months this is actually a major part of my life now lmao
Mine too! XD
I love the fact that aria has to say the list of names of people she plans to kill every night before she goes to sleep. It drives the hound crazy, but it is how she kind of keeps herself going. Is she recite that list every night before bed, and it generally grows until she can actually start checking them off, which she succeeds at later on I love that girl she’s amazing
Every day I take a look if you load up a new one . You guys make my Day - thanx again
Wanted to rewatch show again, but this is a better way. Love the reactions. Keep up the good work 💪
Nice reaction again.. Tyrion did ask littlefinger to visit her in a previous episode. You actually commented on it 😁
Daenerys threatening to burn the city, when she coulda just said, "Sure. You can see the dragon, if you bring us some food and water and tell us the way outta here. We don't even need to come in. We can chill out here!! When Dany and Viserys were born, the coin came up tails both times.
It doesn't matter if they told them the way. This was the first time they laid eyes on a city. Their desert stretches for hundred of miles they would be dead before they got through it. They turned them away. Most of the rulers in Westeros would do the same.
Tywin Lannister is a smart man, I was hoping he didn’t recognize Arya because if he did he would take her back to Kings Landing and she would be a prisoner with Sansa
I don't *think* they've ever encountered each other before. Otherwise I think he would've probably recognized her considering how sharp he is.
You’ve now been watching GoT long enough to make incest jokes!
lawrencegough 😂😂
ancestors insisted upon incest whenever they were in-sisters
ancestor = incestor = insister = in-sister ... wub! :/
You learn something new everyday. I always assumed Cat received Ned's burnt remains and not his actual bones.
Amputations need to be relatively precise and controlled in order to minimize the excess damage and heal properly, it's by no means a "sever" or "clean slice" like a guillotine or axe would provide.
A quick for instance: above-knee leg amputation.
Step one is expose the bone, so they cut "flaps" from the knee towards the thigh. From there, they cut through the bone at the chosen point with a saw. Then, they bring the flaps together over the bone to seal it. (The bone is cut further up than the flaps started, allowing the flaps to extend over the wound and seal it up).
You end up with a cleanly sliced bone, covered on all sides by skin covered tissue, making infection less likely and speeding up healing.
A cleanly severed leg, at the same point, would be a bloody "stump" with broken bone, and bone marrow, exposed. It's nearly impossible to keep clean from infection, is very painful, and will never heal to a clean and smooth end that could support a prosthesis. Not to mention, bone often shatters/fragments when hit by a strong impact, rather than being cut. A broken bone inside of your amputation is not a good thing.
Tyrion did send Littlefinger to Cat. If you recall from last episode, Tyrion told 3 different stories to Littlefinger, Varys, and Pycelle about where he was sending his niece to figure out who would run and tell Cersei. In a later scene, an angry Littlefinger told Tyrion that he didn't like being made a fool of, and to leave him out of his next deception. Tyrion said he wants to get his brother Jaime back. Littlefinger says "Robb Stark will never release the Kingslayer", to which Tyrion replies "No he won't. But his mother might. How would like to see your beloved Cat again"?
Equinsu Ocha Exactly!!! Thank you for writing this, i think they missed the scene with Tyrion and Lord "Littlefinger" Baelish.
You guys are great with names, i read books and still strugled remembering them.
Ned's Bones are from Tyrion
"Like yeah what you doin tonight." That line had me laughing out loud.
Just found you guys and I ADORE you! Such open-minded, smart, and genuine reactions. And I love how you both are so different in your tastes and reactions too. Great chemistry. Subscribed!!
"There's no cure for being a cunt" I was finger crossed that you included that scene haha
Watching these reactions are both great fun just seeing your reactions to everything happening in the show, AND a great way for me to rewatch everything that happens in the earlier seasons before next year's final season!
Great unintentional pun....Steven says in reference to Arya " I hope letting those guys out of the cage doesn't 'bite her' later." One of the guys in the cage is named Biter. Hilarious!
Looking back, it's nice to know that Arya kills that piece so shit that was hurting Sansa.
Jeoffery is King, Tywin is hand of the King and the lord of Casterly Rock. Tyrion is in Kings Landing acting in Tywins absence as Hand of the King.
I like when Steven is asking questions and Nikki is answering all the time "I don't know... I don't know!" Like, can you stop asking me question?!?
Its tomorrow already??YAY now I cant wait till tomorrow!!!! thank you for being the first thing I watched today, love that you are so hooked, invested, and loving it.
Tyrion mentioned giving Ned’s bones as an offer of good will back in s2e01, and when tyrion did that “scheme” to find out pycelle was the snitch he told littlefinger “do you want to see your beloved cat again”? Tyrion expects they release Jaime trought Cat’s emotions towards her daughters...
The funniest part of yalls videos are Nikki's Pre-comments before the Intro....makes me laugh every time
Preview: "Oh. My. God. What in the HelllllllllL."
Us: "Ah yes: We're at *_that_* episode. 😂"
Tywin is a strict but great man who works to benefit his house first and then the realm. He is one of the only Lannisters that actually deserve support, along with his brother Kevan Lannister. It just so happens that Tywin is the true power in Westeros as well. He is the richest and most powerful man, more powerful than all the kings at this point in the show combined. While some of his actions aren't exactly moral he is a great general and statesman and over all I think he is one of the best people in Westeros. Plus Charles Dance's performance in the show is just great.
JackulaHD Not more powerful than the iron bank eh ;) lol
I agree about Charles he is EPIC love that guy what a glorious actor
True the bank eclipses any single person in Westeros :P However it is an institution and not a person and so doesn't count in this instance ;)
JackulaHD it does in the big picture and in war you gotta think over the minor and the larger details ;)
Well obviously :P I'm just saying that my comments referred to the powers of individuals within the world of Westeros. The iron bank's influence on things cannot be understated especially when they catch up and watch the later seasons. That being said it is still irrelevant to my original statement that Tywin is the most powerful individual person in the world, especially as the bank is famously devoid of single person leadership. After all the person literally says that if he were to be killed another would take his place.
You guy's reaction videos have become must see! Every time I log on and there's no new GOT reaction video I get disappointed.
Tywin is the Hand of the King to Joffery ( as well as his grandfather) which is the position that Tyrion is filling in for right now.
Also, remember when Tyrion asked Littlefinger "would you like to see your beloved Cat again?" ;)
3:30 - Has anyone else mentioned yet that the woman is played by Oona Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's grand daughter? She is named for her grandmother Oona O'Neil who was Charlie Chaplin's fourth wife and also the daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neil.
Sorry but I had to remove one of your previous comments. Our reactors aren't aware if a "certain character" is or isn't going through with his/her plan.
Got it. Didn't mean to spoil. Thanks for being diligent!
No lie yours reactions are legit the thing I most look forward to start the day🙌🏼
Keep the great work you guys are electric with energy!🔥
"Does he ever have fun?" That IS Joffrey's idea of fun...
16poetisa 😂😂
The List was born!
It's worth noting that Catelyn is probably not aware of the specifics of Littlefingers treachery. This isn't some poorly written show where everyone knows everything everyone else knows.
Always be aware that you, the viewer, know more about people motivations and character and happenings than other people in the show.
We distrust littlefinger, but there isn't necessarily a reason for a person in GoT to distrust him, although most do, he does have a reputation.
GRRM said that the television version of Littlefinger is very different from the books. He's often described as charasmatic, likable, and helpful. In order to gain people's trust and not view him as a threat
Another great reaction guys! I think Littlefinger and Tyrion had a mtg earlier in the episode and Tyrion pretty much implied to do something to ingratiate Littlefinger to Catlyn. Hence Ned's bones going back to the family. This show never stops building!
I really love your reactions you guys,
Keep on!
Tyrion as Hand of the King would have the authority to deliver Ned's bones to Cat. He wants to save Jaime and appease the Starks as much as possible especially as Stannis or Renly could attack at any time leaving the Lannisters dealing with 3 enemies at once. Of course Littlefinger always has his own motives from what we've seen of him to date.
Your videos are always right on time for my coffee break :D thank you for the great content and all the work! You guys are awesome :)
