When Tommen jumped out that window, that was the single most decisive decision that poor kid ever made in his entire life.
He doesn't jump or throw himself really, it's like he just tips himself off the sill. "Well, Imma head out...".
I was very sad for him. He knew nothing but weird violence his whole life.
Robert was a dick and beat his mother, then is killed by a jug of whine and side of bacon.
Joff was a pyscho and dies gasping while he watches basically,
Sister was pure sunshine gets sent off comes back dead,
Grandpa dead on the shitter killed by his funny uncle who he probably thinks killed his brother.
Just mayhem, to then see basically everyone that is even remotely nice to him, regardless of their motive, explode in green fire, and you know your mom did it, primarily so she could control the power attached to you. Yeah, I think a long drop and sudden stop is maybe a good choice.
Isn’t it literally the most decisive decision everyone could make?
Not in the books, he literally shouted at Cersei’s face that she is not the queen. And Cersei was like, “That’s Owfeynsive 👁👄👁”
well his first decision was to kill himself so maybe its good that they didnt let him decide earlier :D
Its also hilarious
"Zig-zagging! Zig-zagging, Rickon!" - Natalie, speaking the same words we all yelled at the screen when this first aired.
I yelled "Serpentine!" but same thing
As someone who watched Generation Kill. NO straight line and run as fast as you can.
@@davewhitmore1958 Glad I wasn't the only one!
I didnt because running away no one ever does that...they just run.you ever see anyone run from someone zig zagging...that's just silly to say.
@@baronhomer1 yeah it's kind of one of those thing as a third party you're like he should zig zag but in his position do you really expect a little boy to be thinking strategy in a situation like that?
That "8 minutes earlier" edit was so freaking good, i spit out my drink.
Editor is earning whatever they get paid. I was drinking when they happened; I shot boogie and water out my nose.
That was definitely an epic moment. And rarely do we get epic moments out of UA-camr reaction videos! Well done editor-hooman!
29:50
I would have too if I had a drink lol
That editor deserves a bonus for that one!! HILARIOUS!
The smirk on Sansa’s face when she walks out of the kennel is beyond fantastic.
I was actually a background actor in the Sept explosion and Cersei's Coronation scenes and I gotta say it's kinda surreal seeing it and myself again now in one of your reaction videos!
wow, that's cool! Where can we notice you? :)
Yep which one, the bell guy was my hero
"You're a John G, maybe you can be my John G"
@@iamsh4r106 Lenny!
How are you here to make this comment if you died in the Sept? This doesn't add up...... 🤔
The music by Ramin Djawadi on the beginning of the last episode is a masterpiece
His work is one of the few shining positives of the final season too.
@@hadoken95 Everything about the final season(s) is top notch - except the writing.
That whole opening sequence is just jaw dropping - the build of the music, the sparse dialogue, the little details slowly combining, Margaery showing her true colours, but trapped like the rest... Absolutely fantastic
His musical composition throughout the series adds so much. The Winterfell theme still gives me the feels.
@@kaurapuuro5153 and the lighting. I couldn't see shit in episode 3.
The dragons: literally burning people alive
Natalie: 💕babies 🥰 feed the babies! 😊💖
That is the problem with the charismatic leaders and the "epic" of the war.
@@opinion8033 Animals deserve to eat and defend themselves. There is no moral wrong to an animal eating or killing a person.
Did you forget why she locked up the dragons in the first place?
@@tadcooper9733 and vice versa. Dog eat dog world.
@Not Alfie animals are not "weapons of mass destruiction"
When Ramsay died, I think all of us became a Stark:
"Don't look away. Father will know if you did."
Oh i never noticed the parallel between that execution scene with bran and the scene where sansa killing ramsay (probably not intentional). Both of them didnt take their eyes off the execution.
Am I a little too bloodthirsty for wishing we could've seen more of ramsays death? I've never hated a character so much.
@@shawnjames3242 The parallels are intentional, it's a way of showing Sansa regaining her Stark identity and her strength.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Whether Sansa kills Ramsay in books will not be known for a while, could be Theon or Jeyne Poole who get the honors.
NICE
Joffrey may have been a smug little bastard that everyone hated but he never would have let the Sparrows take over Kings Landing the way Tommen did.
Nor would Tywin
True, and the sparrows have issues with LGBT rights, but they just used that to target the wealthy elite. The matter of the fact is they wanted more rights for the poor, and make sure the nobles were held responsible for their crimes. And almost all of the nobles have done horrible stuff (sure, to protect people they love etc, but that's really not an excuse)
Joffrey would've gotten himself killed trying to stomp out the rebellion if Tywin wasn't around.
Tommen didn't do that, as Tommen was far too young to make any of that decision.
It was Cersei that give power to the Sept to create religious militant group which were banned generations ago.
She struck down that ruling without realizing they would bite her back.
I dont think that really matters, jofferey is a million times worse than tommen. Im sure u would agree
Natalie: "It's great to see a queen on the throne!"
The queen: Cersie
Me - Mom, I want a blonde queen
Mom - We already have one
The blond queen at home:
Cersei
Honestly, the music in The Winds of Winter is probably my favorite in the entire series. It gives me chills every time I hear it. It starts slow and just builds and builds with this dread as it progresses.
I second that, it’s truly an amazing piece of work
Making Frey eating his sons is also an old tell told by Bran when he was hiding in the tower about a Lord who murdered his guests and have been served the same treatment.
It's also lifted straight from the Classical Greek myth of Thyestes. Atreus cooked Thyestes' sons and then served them to him, who ate them before it was revealed to him.
@@Bramble451 it also actually happened, a few times, in britain.
@@Bramble451 Shakespeare also lifted it for Titus Andronicus.
It is going to be WAY better in the book (if it's ever finished) when Lady Stoneheart does this!
@@chuckshingledecker2216 He's too old now. Still hasn't even finished Winds Of Winter yet. Got a feeling the books will never be finished.
The Battle of the Bastards and the Winds of Winter are two of the top rated GOT episodes of all time. It's been such a joy watching you get to this point!
And then after the best season and one of the best two episodes is an entire television
Level of show suddenly went down after that
@@Noone91875 “best season”
@@user-op2bh7rc9z yes for. Me it's best season i don't care about other's opinions.
I. Enjoyed it a lot.
I know there's something that not quite good in this season. But battle of bastards and hold the door still. Give me chills . And John targeryn reveal was spot on.
@@Noone91875 it's a very satisfying season, but some of the characters were slipping.
@@xxg6573 and my opinion changed on rewatch. S3 & 4 are best. With a fair margin.
Dialogues are fire back then but in s6 dialogues are not that good as compared to earlier seasons.
Though this season is satisfying.
As much as Nat loves character depth, I am shocked she never even comments on Jon staring down a thousand men on horses, and just displays the gallantry to draw Long Claw and stand ready. He may not be Ned's son, but he IS Ned's son. The dynamic of foolish honor and absolute will to fight for family is so exactly both of them.
Natalie has joined the infamous Zig Zagging reactors.
She's now ready for R+L=J.
There's a joke fan theory that Gendry never stopped rowing, is now all jacked and muscular, and has been ferrying people back and forth between Essos and Westeros like a speedboat.
“KICK HIS ASS!!!!!” Omg I love how bloodthirsty Nat has become, she is a sweet summer child no longer ❤️👏
She stopped being that after the Red Wedding
Yes, Winter has come to house Gold!
@@caribbeanman3379 omg I love that, House Gold
@@caribbeanman3379 We are all now House Gold.
@@ilyMiickeyBee Nah.
Natalie: "I'm really surprised to see how much people have moved around this season compared to last season"
Season 7 & 8: "Hold our beer".
This is because the TV script outpaced the written books.. this is a symptom of that.
@@metoo7557 It didn't have to... They literally could've just made seasons 7 and 8 full length instead of shortening them, but Dan and Dave wanted to rush to the ending in order to get to other jobs, such as Star Wars which was their dream gig. Both HBO and GRRM wanted the show to go 9+ seasons.
Can't wait for Sonic Gendry beyond the wall.
Person #1: 'How long does it take to get around Westeros?'
Person #2: 'It Varys.'
@@heyitsgrey8388 While I wholeheartedly agree that GRRM bears a much larger brunt of the blame than he's usually given, unfortunately, the showrunners did a panel down in Austin, TX (Austin Film Festival) after the series ended where they flat-out admitted they had no idea what they were doing and were ready to move on from GoT. I mean, quite literally, they stated GoT was just an "expensive film school" for them to learn from. They said they were given the means for more support from the studio and turned it down. They mentioned that GRRM had given them a brief idea on how they wanted the show to end and that they got caught up in the hype of "thinking they knew better" than him based on the popularity of the show and their efforts behind it.
The irony is that they said so many really dumb, indefensible comments about their own poor work the last few seasons, all the while giving us what fans ask for all the time - more transparency. Admitting to your failures doesn't absolve them of the criticism they deserved, but it's interesting that they actually were so transparent about how woefully unqualified they were for their positions and it only made their situation worse.
Yeesss! Finally someone talks about the scene of Tommen, it's beautiful how even with the image of the window, silence is heard and then Frey with "For house Lannister" AAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE IT
right, people usually get annoyed by that cut but its actually done intentionally for artistic purposes
Come on. It was ripped off from the movie Ida. Exact. Same. Shot. Same angles, same dramatic effect, same concept. Just like the opening scene is a lift from The Godfather. Even the stuff these chucklefucks did well, was only because they took other people ideas.
@@izattyu6863 it still looks cool so who cares
12:32 Exactly. Jaqen could tell how badly The Waif wanted to hurt or kill Arya, and if you are truly no one, you wouldn't WANT anything or have the DESIRE to harm someone else. So what he did was pit the two against each other as a test for both of them and Arya came out on top. Like he said... "One way or another, a face will be added to the hall."
Jaqen is the Waif, they are both no one. We even saw them switch out with each other before
Battle of the Bastards is still the best battle I've ever seen, definitely on the small screen and probably even on the big screen. Most on screen snazzy jazzy heroic battles age like milk, this has aged like fine wine. I'm always left speechless by the grit and realism of this battle. Just how well they filmed it. Everytime I rewatch it there's a new visual metaphor that I'd previously missed. They deserved every accolade they got from it. If this was a hurricane, the finale is a tsunami. Twice as many head twisting moments. I'm always in awe of just how many shocking turn of events they manage to pack in one single episode. Every one of them hit like a brick wall. This is like a double triple watch episode. Everytime I rewatch I catch some new symbolism in the scenes. And hats off to the music. The way it adds to the suspense of the Sept scene is unreal. Who else is unreal? Liam Cunningham as Davos berating Mellisandre. Amazing acting! This episode somehow manages to satisfy every demand that has been simmering for so long. Battle of the Bastards is an unreal episode, but this is so fantastic in a different way that it manages to make it a hard call between the two. Deserved every accolade it got.
Sansa got the best of the divorce settlement...she got the house, Ramsay got the dogs ;)
You mean the dogs got Ramsay.
@Ian now you've got me thinking about Total Recall 🙂
Good dogs
It makes sense since she's a woman
I wonder whatever happened to the dogs
Dario got friendzoned into being an Emperor. I think he’s fine. XD
Lancel: gets stabbed in the spine, therefore partially paralysed.
Nat: Lancel get up and run you idiot, others have suffered worse 😂
Lancels achilles was sliced, hate to break the news to you kiddies but if something so seemingly simple as your achilles gets cut , same deal, you can't walk.
I thought he was stabbed in the liver in that scene.
To be fair, the original edit of that scene made the kid's action much clearer. He stabbed Lancel's leg to make sure he didn't feel it, so that he knew he was crippled. It was only a few additional seconds. It makes no sense that they edited it out so that the kid just bent over, Lancel ask what he was doing, then the kid left.
Yeah I feel like not enough people got that he was stabbed in the spine and was paralyzed, he couldn’t walk because his spinal cord was severed
The kid got clearly a kidney.
Pain to incapacitate, bleed to weaken.
robert on season 1: " I will kill every targaryen, i get my hands on"
Lyana: " Robert will kill him"
Natalie: who's his dad?
Tsk tsk tsk no espoiler pls
@@iamsh4r106 not really a spoiler as it was laid out for you right there in the last episode. It can just be a bit confusing with so many moving parts.
@@cvtuttle That's exactly what it is. This was only another clue. The show spells it out later, so there's really no point in denying us all Nat's reaction to learning the truth by spoiling the surprise for her.
@@cvtuttle Not a spoiler at all to people paying attention to everything that's happened in the story so far. Also shes super far ahead on her patreon, so no one can spoiler anything for her on any of these episodes on youtube.
‘Winds of Winter’ was one of the most beautiful episodes of any series I have watched. The pacing, the music, the camera work…so incredible.
Blackfish was a hero for Jaime growing-up. He's was a legend.
Little details like this are why the books are so much better/more comprehensive. They tell the true story of the Song of Ice and Fire. You should absolutely read them if you get the chance, Nat.
Yelling at Rickon to zig-zag is a form of time travel, as you act in concert with every person watching this episode for the first time.
Duck and weave!
Thanks to Archer S03E06, I couldn't help but yell "Serpentine, Babou! Serpentine!"
@@berserkrhadley I remember the line from "The In-Laws" movie (1979).
Nat, when you wished for the method of Ramsey’s demise, I cracked up laughing and thought, “Patience, Grasshopper !”
She has often been oddly prophetic about this series when wishing for things.
@@darthdarthification Yes, she has, and it makes me laugh each time!
i remember when i first watched tommen off himself i sat there in shock for like 5 minutes of silence. it really is such an effective scene
johns father matters way more then you can imagine, when you figure it out it will blow your mind
Tommen sure made... A KING'S LANDING!! lol
you could say..... he fell hard for Kings Landing
Ba dum chhhh 🥁
Oof
@@tylerw9160 Funnily enough, also Tommen's last words.
Just like in the end of the first episode when "winter fell"
For anyone who is still confused: The wildfire was already there- Cersei didn’t put it there, she just had Maester Qyburn find it. The rumors cersei mentioned were from The Mad King’s reign. If you remember, Jaime told Brienne that the reason he killed the mad king was to stop him from blowing up the whole city with “caches of wildfire” he had strategically placed. So Cersei tasked Qyburn with finding these caches.
A hidden gem is right around 21:13 into the video where Jon is blocking arrows with a shield he picked up from the ground. It's a Bear Island shield, so one of only 30 something men from Bear Island made it through all that to give Jon a chance at winning against Ramsey.
Such a great revenge scene too.
*One of the greatest reveals in TV history*
Natalie: I'm confused...
lmao
To be fair, most people were confused unless they were really into the GOT universe and looked up stuff outside the show. You really needed the context of the lore to really understand that reveal. The show does not do a good job of making it clear on its own. Yes it hints at it all along but no one is going to put those puzzle pieces together when they dont even know there's a puzzle. Most people who watched the show when it was airing already knew the theories and stuff so most people already suspected it before it was revealed. But i've watched several people react to the show who watched later on after it was done airing and didn't get any of that added context, and none of them understand the whole reveal thing until comments explain it.
I was also completely confused, who the hell was that lady giving birth and who was the father I don't know. I just knew Stark was supposed to watch over him and keep it a secret.
She misses alot because she's thinking about reacting instead of just reacting
It's understandable the confusion.
People had several years to analyse and theorize about it, which she hadn't and avoided any talk outside of the show due to potential spoilers.
@@OnlyOneTubing I think it's more of a flaw with talking over whatever show so that people can watch the full episode along with her on Patreon vs pausing, reacting, and unpausing, and even rewinding when necessary.
About Lyanna's baby: Bran's visions already had some important clues.
I really dont think that the whole who was jon's mother was played enough in the show.. so when we see brans vison and cut to jon it really doesn't have any impact because you're like so what??
"Why weren't you there to protect your prince?"
@@Ma55ey It was played just enough, because if they'd kept bringing it up, it wouldn't be a surprise that his parentage was so important.
I still hope that in the books it's R+L=fA and N+A=J
@@albertesteva9684 hmm judging from interviews its most likely the same.. When George asked d+d who they thought his mother was and him agreeing to let them do the show based on their answer.... Now the books aren't subtle in setting up lyanna as jons mum but it would be an interesting curve ball if George agreed to the show knowing that they'd got it wrong lol
THIS is where the directors, the actors, the designers, and all of the rest of the staff really pulled the weight of the show.
All except the writers :P
@@30noir The "D's" in D&D stand for "Dead Weight"
dumb and dumber but not funny
There's a lot more CGI during the battle than what I had first realised. It's pretty impressive. Corridor Digital did a breakdown of the effects recently.
I was just gonna say that. Amazing cgi
great digital effects for me these days are those that are so subtle and grounded I can't even tell what's real and what's not.. David fincher comes to mind as a master of this
There is no way to shoot that scene with humans. Kit would've been killed along with about 20 extras per take.
Came here to say this, yeah, it’s almost all CGi, and it’s impressive as hell. ”VFX Artists React to Good & Bad CGi ep48” is the video in question.
In the last episode of Season 3, Bran told the story of The Rat Cook, a cook who served a pie to a king that contained chopped up bits of the king's own son. That was foreshadowing Arya serving Walder Frey a pie made with bits of his sons here at the end of Season 6. One of the last good bits of writing from the show, in my opinion.
The reason the Rat Cook was cursed was that he killed guests over his own roof. Like Walder Frey did.
The Rat Cook is one of Old Nan's stories she most likely told to all the Stark children when they were young (not just Bran). So Arya, like Bran, knows the story and the moral message behind it.
@@marcribe6483 I didn't say that only Btan knew it. Only Bran told it in the show, however, so that is how we knew of it.
Jon's parentage reveal was one of the biggest points of discussion in the show and book fandom and a huge deal (books havent officially revealed it yet)
Natalie: I don't really care.
*PRICELESS* Lmao
R + L = J everyone was talking about this!
"Zigzagging rickon zigzagging'
So much memory resurfacing when season6 came out.
“Wow I can't believe they cancelled the series right after this scene (the ships sailing off to the sweeping “The Winds of Winter” track). I wonder if Dany managed to win the Iron Throne, also hope Jon beat the NK. Ah well guess we'll never know.”
- best GOT UA-cam comment ever, wish I’d written it. (c) Connor Handforth. :)
So sad they never finished
I heard two people made a parody of seasons 7 and 8
@@Joe11204 oh yeah i saw that, it was kinda goofy. Check it out if you're looking for a laugh.
Season 7 at least had some good scenes, but season 8 was terrible.
I just want to know if Arya gets better at making pies. Or which face Arya wear next. Plus the big unknown question, who is Arya favorite musician.
THESE ARE MY FAVE EPISODES EVER, FINALLY
Especially 6.10. That build up to that explosion... A masterpiece
Same. The opening shots of episode 10 and the music are so amazing.
@@TheJordanK the song is called light of seven if you wanna look it up
@@3KidsStackedUnderATrenchcoat ya chills every time.
Sameeeee❤️
Since Ramsay is legitimized now, he considers himself no longer a bastard, and higher than Jon. He calls Jon bastard because he's projecting his own insecurities onto him. He thinks that since being called bastard is such an insult to him, it will be an insult to Jon as well
beautiful insight Lannister, did your sister share that with you over pillow talk? xD
@@steverogers6572 No, I think she's too busy fucking moon boy to do that
And it harks back to Tyrion advising Jon not to forget what he is and use it as armour.
It’s also really ironic after the revelation of who Jon really is 😂
The whole story for Ramsay was just awful in the show
My favorite episode, and two of my favorite shots in the whole show were in The Battle of the Bastards. The horses charging that Nat mentioned, and Jon Snow drawing his sword as Ramsey's troops were charging him.
I am impressed that you accurately predicted so much. Well done.
"I don't think it really matters whether his daddy is Robert or Rhaegar".
It's hilarious and sad how this sentence is both right and wrong at the same time. 😂😭 But more on that later in the show.
definitely one of those "should someone tell her?" moments
And has to remember that nobody else knows who his mother was, 1st season made that clear so his father is also quite important detail.
The showrunners told GRR Martin this reveal after having read the first 3 books, and that was why they got the job to make the series in the first place.
With Cersei on The Iron Throne, Dany on her way, and Jon as King in The North, The War of Five Kings is effectively over. However, The Lannisters are not in a position of actual power; Dorne and The Tyrells hate them, The North/The Vale hate them, The Riverlands hate them, The Greyjoys(Yara's faction) are no friends to them, and Dany's faction would be more than happy to depose Cersei.
Honestly without Tywin, The Lannisters no longer have a level headed leader managing their house.
Edit: Lancel was paralyzed from that stab wound, even if he wanted to he could not get up.
Second edit: Callback Robert Baratheon's remark about allowing Cersei to execute Sansa's direwolf, Lady: "Get her a dog, she'll be happier."
Sansa was protected by "The Hound" Sandor in season 2 and in this season she let Ramsay's hounds kill him. In the end, she was better off with a dog or two. :)
how cersei wasn't immediately arrested is beyond me
@@danyul8578 As far as before blowing up the Sept of Balor, she was respected as a noble. Afterwards, people were just straight terrified of her.
i felt like robert was basically foreshadowing a lot of things
The irony is that if Tywin appreciated Tyrion as an asset more, House Lannister would be in a much better position. Tyrion would have never given so much power to a group of religious fanatics, and would have ensured that the Tyrells and Martells remained allies.
Specifically, Lancel was 'hamstrung' - the cuts to the back of the thighs meaning he couldn't walk
Once they got passed the source material is when the pacing of the show and timeline really starts to speed. Kinda sad how fast paced the last few seasons are. Still great moments, but they could’ve been so much greater with more time.
The producers originally got hired for Rise of Skywalker and rushed the end of the series. HBO (for obvious reasons) wanted more episodes. Karma stepped in and Disney went with J.J. for Rise.
@@pigs18 a lot of people blame it on the star wars stuff but they already knew there was only gonna be 8 seasons and that the last two season would be short for a while before the star wars thing even came to be.It did however probably prevent them from wanting to extend the series longer than the original plan which I guess is understandable. If you've already committed to another project you can't really extend a current one. I think they just got complacent with their own vision on how it should end
I feel it was necessary to speed up the pacing. Because honestly what were they going to fill the episodes with? More traveling by horseback and having conversations while moving on to the next big plot point? I'm glad they sped things up a bit, though the final season could have used two more episodes, maybe more traveling. Like what did they say originally it takes like a whole month for Robert Baratheon to get from Kings Landing to Winterfell? And then on the way back down it took like four episodes to get back? But during all that time there were things happening, plot-wise. But now that things are condensing down in these later seasons, theres no reason to dwell on the traveling around aspect. But I do wish there would be some better indicators on how much time has passed. Which is kinda why I wished that the world had more "normal" seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) rather than seasons lasting years. That could have been such a great indicator of time passing.
@@GJBedrin Yeah also a lot of people really crap all over season 8. It had it's issues. I think 2-3 more episodes would have pulled it all together a little cleaner. My thing about it is this though: I got my answers. I saw what the end result was. Even if the books were to come out at this point (which I highly doubt we ever see the end of this series in book form) I won't bother reading them. I doubt the end is so significantly different that it matters to me. I was fine with the end of the show.
The actual problem is that the books really slow down to a snail's crawl in the last two books. The first three are at the same tempo as season 6.
When Davos picks up the toy and the crimson sky behind him looks like Shireen's funeral pyre...what a beautiful shot! And that shot of the white horse emerging out of the middle as all the horses charge, beautiful! When Ramsay gets his face eaten I probably rewind that a million times. The "VFX Artists React" channel did a frame by frame analysis of Battle of the Bastards just recently, it's got a million views. They basically called it one of the most realistic and meticulous examples of blending CGI and various other aspects of cinematography they've seen. All these years later it still holds up.
The beginning of the season 6 finale has the best music in the entire of the series, just the build up and up in anticipation of what's about to happen, it's absolutely gorgeous!
I always thought it was a flaw in the writing, done for dramatic effect, that Sansa didn't tell Jon about the Knights of the Vale. Sansa knew that Jon needed more soldiers, she saw him openly discussing a battle plan that was based on the assumption that they could only fight with the soldiers they had. Had she told Jon that she had access to a second army, Jon would have made a completely different battle plan, and thousands of soldiers wouldn't have died needlessly.
I think they wrote it that way because they wanted a dire moment where all hope was lost, until something comes in to save the day. But I don't think Sansa would have done that, I think saying that she would because she has trust issues is a flimsy excuse. She wants to win the battle, badly. So does Jon. At this point in the story she's pretty sharp, she understands the game of thrones, so she would take the actions that give her the best chance of winning. She would definitely be aware that telling Jon about a second possible army would give her that best chance. As Natalie said, they were going for the LotR scene where the cavalry come to save the day, but in doing so, they threw Sansa's character under the bus.
And don't get me started on Jon charging. The guy who was willing to sacrifice glory, a lordship (promised by Stannis) and finally his life, just to save the lives of strangers (the wildlings), threw away the lives of his soldiers in a suicide charge? Gimme a break. I know he lost his brother, but he showed his ability to make extremely difficult leadership calls time and time again during the show. But, I guess Jon biting back his anger and fighting a strategic battle doesn't setup the big save from the Knights of the Vale so.... to hell with that I guess.
This could have been done way better, I agree. But the reason this happens is that Sansa gets excluded from a lot of the battle prep. I think I remember some hints to that in those episodes. Jon doesn't see her as full. His other weakness at this point is his tendency to do the honorable thing in stead of the smart thing.
While Sansa could have told Jon she sent the raven, the show also clearly showed Sansa hadn't received any replies.
If Sansa does tell Jon she sent the raven what answers does she have for the questions Jon should be asking :
How Many, Where are they now, do they have siege weapons, cavalry or foot soldiers ??? etc,etc.
Jon can't plan any other way unless he has that info, and ALL indications are LF never replied, so what does Sansa do, make up stuff , give false hope, what if LF never shows ????? Sansa implores Jon to stick to his plan as Ramsay's way better at the mind games.
LF never tells her in Molestown how many and how equipt, and at that juncture Sansa's not letting LF anywhere near herself or her family; He's an absolute danger to Jon,Bran and Rickon.
I choose to believe she waited until last moment to make that decision cause she never wanted Littlefinger in the picture ... she hoped they would manage without him ... I know I am wrong but still it feels better :)
@@ivanamatic2246 why would you think you are wrong ?
Sansa point blank refused him in molestown because he can't be trusted, he's a real danger to her family ( he can't get the north unless he has Sansa, and he can't get Sansa unless her male siblings are dead ) she's been calling him out as a lier and snake since S4.
Last Minute ? Jon and Sansa traveled ~ 1500 to 2000 miles getting only 250 men ( not counting wildlings ) Sansa implored Jon to send to Cerwin and others at Stannis layover camp and Jon outright refused, that's weeks after refusing LF and ~ 100 - 150 miles from Winterfell, Moat Cailin ~ 500-700 miles by air.
There is no benefit to Sansa or Jon for her to withhold vital information if LF answered her, NONE.
What they showed us was a girl in fear of her ex husband killing her brother and retaking her as his wife; LF never replied, and no hint that Sansa is hiding a reply.
They made a point with LF and Cersei discussing how LF would do his work; let the two sides fight it out,arrive near the end and defeat the weaken victor.
Ramsay screwed those plans and Sansa escaped. LF needs Sansa so because he screwed up he needs to get her back on his side; he doesn't need Sansa to know if or when ( he wants her indebted to him ) and he also can't chance replying not knowing if his writings get intercepted.
I feel Jon was just so enraged along with the fact he probably has less regard for his life seeing as he constantly talks about not being brought back/all he’s done is fight. In real life you could describe it as saying “f*** this” in a situation 😂 Jon just didnt think logically it can happen to any of us
Oh it's treat time yaay, am a chef and my team members and i enjoy your reactions in our lunch break time, love from Egypt ❤️
I have a suggestion for you to add to your list. Watch the German show Dark, it will melt your brain like never before. It's a mind-bending show with a superb story and writing and deserves all the recognition it can get. Please have a go at it, you'll not regret it!
She wouldn’t give the show the respect it deserves. Unless their’s cgi animals.
the show is f*ing brilliant!!
Dark is awesome!
I’ve already watched the entirety of Game of Thrones but you watching it and crying brings those emotions back and I cry with you
A season of the show lasts about a yeaar. The episodes are showing you the highlights of that year. They cut back and forth but the scenes in different places don't necesarily hapen in the order you see them.
Remember S1 when King Robert said "Get her [Sansa] a dog -- she'll be happier for it."
Ah a setup and payoff!
and she was saved by the hound
"How did they even do this - this is one shot?!"
There's a bit of this on a Corridor Crew visual effects artists react. There's a lot of CGI, including horses, fighters etc. So so well done, though.
Think of how much Ned loved his sister. He brought a child home from the battles and claimed it was his own. Someone as honorable as Ned suffered silently the consequences of having had a mistress. His wife thought he was with someone else. He raised Jon as his own. Amazing
Everyone go nuts over Arya killing Frey and then zone out on the next scene but I think that's the one that's artistically superior. The beautiful backdrop of the snowy Godswood with LF in the shadows looking intriguing as ever. Sansa sitting in the same spot Ned sat forever ago in the first episode. The slowed down Stark music is like daggers to the heart. When he says "forgive me my lady if you're at prayer" and she dolefully replies "I'm done with all that". That's full circle to when Cersei scoffed at her during Blackwater for naively putting her faith in the cruel Gods. She speaks little in that scene but conveys all that she's been through with her eyes: "The past is gone for good. You can sit here mourning its departure or prepare for the future". If we can forget about all the Big Brain critiques just for a sec and soak in what an uncanny road it's been for both of them! Out of everyone that's come and gone, it's these two who are still standing. " *A picture of me on the Iron Throne and you by my side* " 😈
22:29 Funny how the melodies of the laugh and the flute match... great editing right there!
Re: the girl who hunted Aria.
This was a particularly weird part of the books. But MY impression was that GRRM made the battle very ethereal, and it was MY impression that it NEVER REALLY HAPPENED Not in the real world.
I felt Aria had to "battle herself" and MY take was that it was all a battle in her own mind. The point being she had to overcome some aspect of herself in order to get her name back and go free.
She obviously DID NOT take half a dozen deep belly wounds then roll.down the town market steps. One such wound in this world would mean a slow death without magical healing.
Seemed more a spell that No One cast, a Final Exam, if you will, before she could be released to fulfill.her true purpose / destiny.
This is really interesting insight. I always feel weird about the Aria plotline too, everyone knows that the faceless men are no one and can become someone else. We even see the waif turn into jaqen at one point. And yet, for some reason, when it comes to the Waif and Aria everyone always treats the Waif like a regular person and hates her. In reality the waif, aria, and jaqen are actually the same person, right? I always sort of thought that Jaqen was playing "good cop" and the Waif was "bad cop" but they were really the same. And I sort of took the whole thing as Jaqen basically training her to be true to herself while also training her to kill. He never wanted her to be a faceless man. I mean, he must've known all along that Aria never gave up needle, right? When Aria killed the Waif, she was actually "killing" Jaqen too, basically she was standing up to them in order to be herself. And when she finally did that, he was proud and let her go, as she had passed her training.
Did Arya imagine that actress healing her/ dying as well? Was the actress never real? How many other peripheral characters are not real? Was she real up until the point where Arya's mind needed her to be show up, then she just imagined her? If that was the case, they could have clued us in on the imagination by having Arya's wound's magically be closed, indicating something more than reality going on, instead they take a substantial amount of time trying to explain how Arya DOES, in fact survive her obviously fatal wounds.
Maybe your theory is right. A much simpler theory is simply that the show just got way stupider the longer it went on. Here's that and 24 other examples, largely of people who absolutely should have died, but just sort of miraculously "don't" because plot. Unless you have some "it was all imagination" excuse for all of them.

@@snarflcat6187 Uh, bullshit lol. She's still in the middle of her training in the books, and her and the waif haven't come anywhere close to fighting, so I don't know what you're talking about. This books literally haven't gotten to this part yet "avid book reader"
@@frozengoat5834
Sry bout that.
Wow. There goes my brain again.
WY past its expiry date, Im afraid.
It would be weird claiming its a brain problem not a me problem, so I wont.
I rly read them all tho. Some twice. And the GOT encyclopedias.
Well, at least Ill have time to read them again before GRRM finishes it.
The last two episodes of this season were cinematic masterpieces. Glad you enjoyed them!
After a week I still can not believe u did not cry for Hoddor😂
That one take of Jon is straight up crazy. they put all the budget into making this look as sick as possible! Loved it!
I love the detail that they put in in having Jon use a Mormont clan shield to block Ramsey's arrows.
The Battle of the Bastards is still one of my favorite episodes of the show, watching it when it aired was a pretty thrilling experience! The season 6 finale was also pretty satisfying too. Despite my mixed feelings on the last couple seasons of the show, season 6 is still easily one of my favorite seasons of the entire series.
Natalie still calling White Walkers "Night Walkers" is rly just so on brand at this point that I can't help but love her for it lmfao
Made me soo happy when she said she wanted Ramsay to be killed by his dogs
may he rip
@@Killingglorie nah fam. He don’t deserve peace. May he rest in violence
It amazes me how prescient she is. She seems to be able to predict things long before they happen.

@@steverogers6572 how did I miss that
Girl I am always crying with you and a million times more when you watch mega tear jerkers like the Green Mile.
I've seen that movie too many times to count and I'm always Niagra Falls by the end.
Always healthy to have a damn good cry
This episode could’ve not been posted at a better time for me. Having good days at work but coming home to nothingness and not feeling good or efficient enough. I caught up on these episodes in less than a week, that was a few days ago. I’ve been finding a lot of comfort in your channel lately, it’s on my phone’s screen while I’m washing my teeth, getting ready for my day, it’s on my tv while I’m organizing around, it’s on my phone again while I’m getting ready for bed. I just want to say THANK YOU for your amazing content. Everything’s less terrifying when I’m here. Already watched the entire marvel content (except for the Disney+ series only because I haven’t watched them myself), Lord of the rings (hopefully we’ll be getting a The Hobbit trilogy movie commentary as well haha), HTTYD, Kung fu panda, ugh, I’m obsessed
I got the biggest fucking chills when they revealed Jon Snow.
The Balckfish is Catelyn Stark's uncle, her fathers younger brother. Her father had arranged a marriage for him, but he declined.
Her father started calling him blackfish after that, it's like calling him the black sheep of the family.
Not quite right. Hoster called him the black sheep of the family. Bryden sarcastically replied, our sigil's a fish. Shouldn't it be black fish? And the nickname stuck.
Because he is the brother of the lord, he kept the sigil, but instead of a white fish, he used a black fish, to differentiate himself but show he's still off the House Tully.
The other things mentioned are also true and add depth to his story/legend. And because GRRM is a genius.
Also "the many faced man" specifically said Arya was not to suffer. That rule was broken. So he was probably glad the Waif (the girl who was after Arya) died.
Although Jaqen did seem to take a liking to Arya, I don’t think it really mattered to him who it was as long as a life was given to the many faced god.
@@cmudd9788 I think there was more to it than that and I think it goes all the way back to the threat of the white walkers. The Faceless Men worship death, and the white walkers steal from the God of Death (aka the Many-Faced God) by raising the dead. So he is training Arya in the ways of the Faceless Men, an ultimate assassin, quick, silent, and able to fight in complete darkness, to make her able to fight the white walkers, but ultimately she doesn't need to be a Faceless Man. He is fine with her being Arya because Arya would be in the North, on the front lines when the white walkers attack. Maybe he even preferred her to be.
If the waif had succeeded in killing Arya, he would have been disappointed that he had been wrong to believe in Arya and that he would have to find a new apprentice. In that outcome, it would have also have served as a test for the waif, to see if she was ready to be no one herself, or if she would give into her personal desires for making Arya suffer. But his preferred outcome was that Arya would prove herself superior and ready to end her training.
Besides, the Many-Faced God got Lady Crane's life, regardless.
You hit the nail on the head, viz travel time. In the first five seasons, the distance is important, and a driver of the stories. From here on out, distance is handwaved away and it really trashes the immersion.
That’s one of the things That bothered me in the last three seasons. I mean it’s supposed to be like 1,500 miles from Winterfell to Kings Landing which is roughly equivalent to like halfway across the United States and by the end of the series they’re treating it like it’s just right around the corner.
I do, I cry with you sometimes. I definitely cried the first time I experienced this stuff!
To answer your question "how did they film this" in BotB, they essentially layered several shots on top of one another, there's a great behind the scenes documentary about this episode, worth checking out :)
Battle of the Bastards is one of the absolute best episodes of this show
Sansa not being there to hear Ramsey say the thing about his dogs and Rickon not zigzaging are pretty cringe, but still a great episode.
Good cinematography but mediocre storytelling at best
One of the best in tv history!!!
@@t.d.mcinturff1712 he’s a child who is terrified and panicking. He probably isn’t thinking too rationally, it makes sense
The visuals are absolutely spectacular indeed
‘Zigzag, Rickon. Zigzag!!’ The one thing collectively yelled by every person ever watching GoT 😂
I absolutely love every time little Lianna (sp?) is on screen. Her speeches are amazing!
Just stumbled on ur videos and as a GoT fan who’s been watching since 2011, watching ur predictions is really cool and you’re so spot on. Brilliant mind. Gonna spend the rest of my night binging these
""Now you're just some Sansa that I used to know."
FYI… Cooridor crew did a whole break down of how they did this one shot and it’s absolutely amazing. It’s a mix of practical shooting and straight VFX. I recommend it
just wanted to comment that. i recommend it too!
@@mjj1017 she’ll also loooove Loki I think. Just crushing on Tom and Owen the whole time
Glad to see someone enjoying the Arya scenes in No One rather than listening to all the nitpickers. When you see them, and you will, ignore them. Your first impression was correct.
I like to think that when he reached the candle, he took a moment to decide between loyalty and faith.
"She just blew up a bunch of people and somehow we're just letting that slide"
Of all the things in the show that require any suspension of disbelief, that is not one of them.
The power shift at the end of Season 6 is interesting. Nice to see so many of the key female characters coming into their power - Sansa is much stronger and wiser now and ready to lead, Arya is dangerous, trained and fully determined in her mission to go home and be Arya Stark of Winterfell, Yara is an excellent leader for The Iron Islands and making an alliance with The Mother of Dragons, and as messed-up and scary as Cersi is, she's finally gained The Iron Throne (though it cost her Everything to do so).
32:36 What a fantastic last shot for the series finale!
Shame we’ll never find out what happens next though. 😜
Good thing there are actually two more phenomenal seasons after this one.
"Because she can fight blind."
In the books, because she's a warg, and can see through cats' eyes.
Which is far more interesting.
I've read all the books, how did I miss that???
@@RyoHazuki224 whattttt so she has brans story in the books
@@mysteryniggadel491 All the stark children (and Jon) have it to a limited degree. Mostly in the form of wolf dreams, though now that I think on it I don't think Sansa has them. Brandon is just the most powerful warg and is also a Greenseer (which Rickon seems to have a touch of as well)
@@RyoHazuki224 The fight scene is not in the books. Arya passes the "she's no one" test by warging into a cat, and using the cat's vision.
These handful of episodes were so satisfying. While the tactics involved and some of the weapons are goofy in Battle of the Bastards, they did a pretty good job showing how brutal warfare was in the medieval era.
06.10 is... and I say this without exaggeration... easily one of the best episodes of any TV show I've ever watched. It's just an absolute masterpiece.
Seeing someone cry to a show or movie is usually the most interesting, entertaining part of reaction videos so
Yeah that’s why reactors shamelessly show them bawling their eyes out in thumbnails lol
In regards to the question posed at the end of the video:
Jon's father's identity matters because if he's Rhaegar's son then he's Daenerys's nephew, which puts him very close to being the legitimate heir to the throne.
It actually gives him the better claim based off how it works in their family. A male son of a male ruler will always have a better claim than the sister of the male ruler.
@@LastKupoNut Only if legitimate ;)
@@usgreth
SPOILERS:
He is legitimate
@@usgreth appeals to legalism are not very compelling. There are many cases in both the fiction and in real history where people with weaker claims were able to push people with stronger legal claims aside through various military or political maneuvers.
Legality exists on paper, legitimacy exists in the minds of people.
@@jsoderba Um cool story bro, but was merely pointing out the strength of his claim is unclear, not whether anyone would adhere to it..
A 6’4 400lbs dude (me) is crying right along with you at certain moments. The Green Mile is one that ALWAYS gets me. Don’t feel bad about feeling stuff. I’d be more worried if you didn’t cry 🤣.
6x9 is one of the best battles ever put on screen and 6x10 is one of the best episodes of any show ever.
When Lyanna whispers 'His name is Aegon Targaryan'....We knew, but it was nice to have it confirmed!
The “kick his ass!” cut when she was talking about not normally rooting for vengeance made me laugh so hard I had to pause the video and my kids looked at me from the other room like I was crazy. Lol
same! that was so funny 😂
Arya learned how to carve the faces when she was in bravos, so she can basically "make her own" now. she just, yknow.. has to kill people
I think there is inconsistency in how they treat the masks. In one part, they get the masks by cutting them off of dead bodies. And then in this case, Arya just magically can create an exact replica of someone else's face.
uhm @Bramble, except that (as I understand it) they *aren't* replicas
@@Bramble451 i think they've always had to be cut from dead bodies, but the scene where arya goes blind still confuses me, but i guess that falls under "it's magic"
@@Bramble451 she didnt magically create a face, i think the implication is that Arya murdered the servant girl and took her face.
One thing that has troubled me is that when they use a face, it's like their entire body structure changes
Height, hair, even the voice
Is it some sort of "Faceless God Magic" or a continuity error from the makers towards which they didn't pay enough attention
Instead of wearing someone else's face it seems more like Mystique (from x-men) transforming into someone else
I still believe that the winds of winter is the best hour in television history. From the music to the direction, I think it’s perfect.
You make me fall in love again with Game of Thrones. Thanks for that!
Nat: the Jamie and Brienne story arc is, in my opinion, the best of the entire show. Wait until the end; there's a scene that makes me cry every time. No doubt you'll be in tears too. Redemption is so strong in the writing for this.
