These discussions about The world and society are everything please continue this train of thought it is so interesting. Nobody else really sits Down and talks about this without being very emotional and heated about it, But you just speaking and reasoning your Way through it really serves up a thought provoking and intellectual space to just question and learn which i really appriciate. Never thought GOT would spark phillsophical debate.
Every few videos I’ll find a comment that is capable of reinvigorating my motivation to not only continue creating, but to slowly and surely outgrow the imposter syndrome that always looms in the dark recesses of my mind. The only reason we haven’t been able to post a 3+ hour reaction video every single day is because I’ve been fighting through some deep and dark phases of depression these last few years. Doing these reactions always helps lift my spirits, especially when other people leave inputs/feedback like yours. I personally believe that the strongest people are those who lay their souls bare for the entire world to see and judge and draw their own conclusions. I just hope to improve my work and sharpen my thoughts and ideas the more I heal and evolve off camera. My favorite subject in school growing up was philosophy and most books I consume still to this day are philosophical in nature, so I’m beyond humbled and grateful for the kind words of encouragement. Much love always! - Caley
@ Thank you so much for your response. During the video i felt like you really lit up when talking about these deeper topics, so regardless of what people say, just go towards your version of joy and continue being yourself, it’s hard being philosophical and critically thinking because people don’t like being confronted with truth, but I think one can free himself from that dogma by being true to himself. You guys are already doing this but I just wanna encourage you to be shamelessly yourself even if it ends up not amusing anyone, life is too short in the end to worry what people think. Take care
Three non-spoiler fun facts to contextualize the Jaime & Ned fight: 1) Jaime is considered to be one of the greatest swordsmen in all of GOT. Some rank him in the top 3. I've seen claims that he's the second best of all time. 2) Ned is not considered one of the greats. Although definitely trained and capable. More so known as a great commander. 3) During Robert's Rebellion, Ned beat & killed who most consider the greatest swordsmen ever: Ser Arthur Dayne the "Sword of the Morning". P.S. 12:29 Ser Barristan Selmy, the other knight of Robert's Kingsguard we often see, is another many consider in the top 3. Ned's dialogue here hints at it. 🐺
Indeed! The show doesn't really explain or show this, but Jaime was in no way trying his best here against Ned. That said, I think Jaime was surprised that Ned could hold his own so well, and was excited at a decent fight, until his guard stabbed Ned's thigh in the back. He was angry about that, the same way you'd be angry if you're about to devour a delicious feast, and someone snatches it away after you've only had a bite or two.
Yo these HOURS long reactions/discussions are EVERYTHING...I've been coming home from work (5:30pm to 3:30am) and putting them on tv when i get home while I unwind...PERFECT REACTORS
@@christopherwichman7968 oh really, they go to aimless discussions that has nothing even related with the series, even forgetting what they are discussing, it's just a whole lot of talking nothing
… and it is not from the books but entirely imagined by the show’s writing team. They had to create such scenes to enrich character exposition while remaining synthetic enough vs. the source material.
@ccispahan7514 I know I'm a book reader. D&D just gave up after season 4 man, and i'll never forgive them for it. I'm glad they got canned from their Netflix and Star Wars deal, for which they ditched GoT. GRRM also kinda left, and didn't do much after s4.
The tension in the air was mesmerizing! There’s something oddly satisfying about seeing two people effortlessly outwitting each other. Felt like a sport, the sharpest tongue Olympics 🏆 - Caley & Gabi
I don't think YT allows abusive comments but I also don't think you guys are open to suggestive criticism or opinions that are contradictory to yours. Taking the attitude of "just click off or go elsewhere" is wrong since even the people suggesting a shorter format do love watching/listening to both of you, they just don't have the time to do so to completion. Anyways, cheers and enjoy the gummies.
There's a difference in suggesting ways to make something better and suggesting to make it different. UA-cam is full of shorter reactions. Forcing these to be shorter, just because some viewers don't have the patience, would just rob those of us who enjoy the longer format of content which, there is lot less available.
@@Lahha But no one is forcing? Just because you disagree with a suggestion means the suggestion shouldn't be made at all, even if it means increased viewership? I strongly disagree with your position that no one should be allowed to suggest something you don't enjoy and I wouldn't ever tell you your suggestion isn't valid either.
No spoilers just so you guys can be clear. The mad king was Aerys II Targaryen, he had 3 children Rhaegar, Viserys II and Daenerys. Who kidnapped Lyanna Stark (Ned's sister) was Rhaegar and The starks (father and first born son) went south to speak to the king about his son's behavior and they were burn alive by Aerys order. Robbert and Ned made a rebellion against him. The Lannisters couldn't be against the king cause Tywin Lannister (head of the house) was the hand of king but Jaime Lannister killed Aerys Targaryen in his throne, that is why people think Lannister are untrustworthy. As you guys know Robbert Baratheon killed Rhaegar in battle. Rhaegar was married to Elia Martell princess of Dorne with who he had two children (later on the show we know what happened to her and her kids) Both Viserys and Daenerys escaped. --- on another note Aegon Targaryen with his sisters were nobles from a place called Valyria, they came with dragons and force the kingdoms to unite and make Aegon their king, so Targaryen dynasty lasted about 300 years.
The show was filmed in Croatia (Kings Landing and many other southern parts of Westeros, also locations and cities in Esos), Northern Ireland (Northern parts of Westeros), Iceland (North of the Wall) and some other beautiful places drop in from time to time like Spain, Malta, Morocco. CGI is used only to bring the locations a little bit closer to the books (like some buildings and such). The cinematic experience this show gives thanks to those amazing locations is what takes this show to another level. It just gets better and more insane.
@@blondymonk1535 lol not at all, regardless of the mixed opinions on the final 2 seasons, the first 6 seasons are still some of the greatest most addictive television ever made, and still holds the title of the second most awarded tv show in history
@@rookere1604 Lol season 5 & 6 were not good 🤣. But even then. Having 2 bad seasons in it self disqualifies you from the GOAT convo when there's series without a single bad season in that convo.

The great film "Interstellar" is being re-released in IMAX theaters very soon! 10th Anniversary special! Check your local theaters. It is being shown the weekend of December 6th or sooner in IMAX theaters in the USA, Canada and the UK. I do not know how many theaters are showing it.
Luckily Jaime was nerfed in the show. Ned would have been dead in 2 seconds if Jaime was at his power of the books. (This fight never happened in the books for this obvious reason. Instead Ned fell off his horse and broke his leg.)
@oXRaptorzXo His horse slips and falls on top of him. Yes, these things happen in fights and confusion. What would've been more lame is pretending like Ned can hang with Jaime in a swordfight like this. Deminishes Jaime's skill to nothing but average.
@ you didn’t mention that they were in a fight before. I thought you meant just out of the blue his horse fell on him, which would be lame af. If he’s knocked of his horse or his horse gets hit and falls on him that’s fine. However in the show when new viewers like myself see this scene, I don’t diminish Jamie’s skill, I just assume that Ned is up there as well.
Ngl, I don’t listen to some of the after convos or I just leave it running in the background. In saying that, I still really appreciate it and you’re right - movies and shows, books and art in general can be life changing and the great ones are worth giving the time to discuss imo, so keep up the good work!
The discussion we witness in the dungeons is VERY important. You recognized Varys. The other man was Illyrio Mopatis, the man who was housing Viserys and Daenerys in Pentos, arranged Daenerys’ wedding with Drogo and gave her dragon eggs. So, it reveals something essential about Varys: he is in cahoots with Illyrio and he is taking an active part in PROTECTING the last Targaryen heirs, possibly preparing a Targaryen restoration. Varys is seemingly serving the Crown by planting a spy (Jorah Mormont) in Essos, reporting back to the Council and agreeing to Robert’s kill order. But at the same time, he is revealed to be plotting with Illyrio to accelerate the Dothraki invasion. Not sure you got it… it sheds a new light on Varys’ true motivations, which are quite difficult to read at this stage.
Since you guys are Harry Potter fans, I don’t know if you noticed or if others might have mentioned it but the actress that plays Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) also played Hermione Granger's mother in Harry Potter.
Yes! Wish we could’ve seen more of her role as Hermione’s mom in Harry Potter because she is a phenomenal actress. I think we did point it out in another episode, but we definitely overlooked it at first😅
@mentallygonereacts I agree it would of been awesome to see her more in that roll, she's such an amazing actor! You guys have to keep an eye out in GOT. There are few more actors from Harry Potter that make an appearance 😁
I really, really liked your reaction. It seemed like you both really enjoyed the episode, dialogue, and even so much so that you're rooting at the end. The appreciation for the dialogue is great. I mean, just brilliant writing. To me, now you're both really into it. Keep it up! 💪
While we empathize with Daenerys as she comes off as a good person, she is still a valid political target for Robert Baratheon. It'd be one thing for her to try to live incognito in a town trying to make an honest living for herself, but she married a warmonger who is positioned to bring devastation to his own continent even if he never sets foot in Westeros.
I was in two minds about watching GoT for the first time in.. ahem, enchanted state of mind. But now I'm strongly for a sharp mind. Don't get me wrong. I'm an over-analayser myself, and I highly enjoy new Jungian or Biblical takes like "Arya retrieving the truth from the belly of a beast". That made me to fall in love with your channel from the first minutes of E1 after show discussion. Most probably that the enchanted state does help fishing those out. But the line today - "maybe the Mad King died or something" - made me to facepalm soooo hard. :( Please, better stay focused than enchanted.
The writing is insane in the first 4 seasons, where they actually have true source material from George Martin. Been saying it for years, we never had this perfection in writing since decades on a show. Its spectactular, its unreal. Its unbelievably multilayered. Its subtle, its sublime. Every word matters and has value. Every look means something. Its nuts. Its what makes the show a miracle of film-making. Its all about the writing. Always has been. Its why everybody needs to watch GOT, and not skip it, despite its later failures on the last seasons. You guys are in for one hell of a journey. Once in a lifetime experience. And yet here we all are wanting to relive this, through your eyes. :D
@@E-x4d1234that's my point buddy in the books it does not happen like this they did not execute properly in this show that Jamie was superior to ned infact ned was barely hanging on against Jamie.
On several points of your guy's discussion, which I love btw: First I have some constructive criticism. Tho your whole brand is being mentally gone, I suggest cutting some of your tangents that go for tad too long and go off topic. Maybe upload a "full discussion" vid after every reaction or save some of those tangents for Patreon. Except things like the therapy bit. Shit like that is peak emergent entertainment. Otherwise, please keep the long format. As a fan of longform content and podcasts, having something new to listen to in the background is great. Also all the people complaining about it should learn how to put a video to 1.5x speed. On the Medieval or "Dark Ages". They weren't that dark, by all means it was just like most pre 18th-20th century life. The whole idea of it being the "Dark Ages" where it was a violent and ignorant part of human history is just old historians over romanticizing the Romans and Greeks. There was plenty of advancement and progress through those times, sure lots of it was blood soaked but that's ALL history. On the Vale, it's called the Vale cause a "vale" is a type of valley. It's basically known as the Valley. However all your guys' theorizing on symbolism is awesome. It usually gets boring when all reactors talk about is "what's gonna happen next", "wasn't that so cool", or "isn't this character awesome/awful" so some actual thematic discussion is great. Even when its off the mark a bit if not a lot. Finally, my fav character: Lion ✋ 🦁 🗡️
Guys I REALLY need y’all to react to Ren- Hi Ren!!!! I know you don’t react to music normally, but this is FAR more than music! It’s a life changing experience!!!! I’m not kidding, when I say it changed my life!!!!!! PLEASE react to it!!!! (Plus… he has an AMAZING community of Renegades, who will pull up in a BIG way!!!) you’re both going to LOVE him, no cap!!!!! Love y’all!!! I’d NEVER steer you wrong!!! ❤
Comments like yours help keep us going! Our journey on UA-cam and in life off camera has been pretty bumpy and doing these reactions makes everything worth it. As I write this, I’m drinking coffee and setting up the camera to record episode 6. Much love! - Caley & Gabi
That's true when it comes to characters. Its NOT true when it comes to true actor age though. In fact Jaime actor was 41 years old when s01 was released (2011), while Ned actor Sean Bean was in fact more than 10 years older at the time. He was 52 at the time. So their reaction regarding their age was 100% on point. When it comes down to it you can't really hide your age. The decade difference was 100% correct.
Ned is not a master mind, but at least 1+1=2 for him : Jon was poisoned to shut his mouth. Who ordered the murder ? Someone who had something to hide. Who did he/she generously payed to murder the Hand ? Someone close enough to him to have access to his meals and drinks, and stupid enough to expose the reward of his crime : sudden lot of money and being knighted. So what happens to a henchman who speaks too much ? They cut his throat. I don't see symbols in that. Just logic.
We always see you in the comments, beyond grateful for the ongoing support! As soon as this series is over, we’ll react to the lore video. Much love! - Caley and Gabi
14:00 in the greater lore for the books, there is a story where someone accidentally kills a Prince. It is from an amazing book called "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" set around 100 years before the main series. You can read it with no spoilers for the show, its so good.
Morocco for Dany story, Northern Ireland is Winterfell (well, mostly), Dubrovnik is King's Landing. Northern Ireland and Scotland in general for other scenes, like on the road, or staying at the inn, and so one. Yes, mostly all are on location, different countries, different crews. Wait till it expands into some wild places.
One half is CBD and the other half is hemp derived delta 8. It’s legal where we live and it’s our way of taking the edge off every now and then - since neither of us drink or use anything else. A very small amount of viewers have shown fear based mongering and anti-edible sensibilities in the comments, this person above and maybe 2 others. Which is ridiculous considering most culture defining figures in the annals of history have shown a propensity towards using therapeutic compounds as lubricants and tools to unlock healing and creativity. Shakespeare, Poe, Huxley, Nietzsche, Jobs, Beatles, Hendrix, Kennedy, Churchill, Edison, Watts and the list goes on and on and on. The attention must always be turned towards the work that is being accomplished. Also, maybe it’s worth noting for the record, that only a hand-full of the videos on this channel have featured gummies (1-5) out of 62. And every metric and feedback comment has shown exponential growth in the quality of the discussions after each viewing, and with each new video. Moral of the story is: who cares, 2025 is around the corner. Let’s all just sit back and enjoy the ride. We both will, regardless :) - Caley & Gabi
@@mentallygonereacts no “fear base mongering” here, or uptight thinking- you do whatever, I could care less. Half jokingly, I was (very non-aggressively, I might add) saying I liked your reactions more when you are less giggly for no reason. You are the one that started the video saying, unnecessarily, that your reaction may be affected because you had an edible. I was, as a consistent viewer, expressing that was not my preference based on the end-result. The “no vote” was a benign attempt to give you insight into your reactions. I thank you for your support.
You seem a bit confused with the Targaryen genealogy. Aerys I was called the Mad King. He was married to his sister Rhaella in true Targaryen fashion. They did not love each other very much. They had 3 kids: Rhaegar (the heir, died during Robert’s rebellion, killed by Robert himself) and many years later, Viserys and Daenerys. Daenerys was born during a big storm in Dragonstone (hence the nickname Daenerys Stormborn you will sometimes hear). Her pregnant mother and Viserys were smuggled to Dragonstone when rebel troops approached King’s Landing. Rhaella died in childbirth and loyalists took both children to safety in Essos, in exile.
Just to clarify, the place where Catelyn and Tyrion went is called The Vale which isa type of valley not The Veil. Not that it can't be a double meaning, just want to make sure you have the right info.
Please see my comment further down. I love these long conversations. You are, I believe, the only reactors who've ever noticed that Varys is talking to Ilyrio, down in the crypts. I don't know why this should be so, as Roger Allam has such a distinctive voice. Interesting trying to equate the Vale with a veil, though it's hard to think of Lysa Arryn as the keeper of any special knowledge.
I think it’s different to spend that kinda time after a show, but I’m more jealous that I can’t do that; I’d like to stop my head and have a long chat someday
This is one of many things I look forward to every week. Still wish I could have a personal convo with both of you but damn I can’t wait till the next episode. Also. Would y’all EVER consider a shout out? I love you guys. I’m telling you. You’re vulnerability and the way you both think.. we would be great friends in real life.
Ned is a much better fighter in the show than in books. Also, Jaime isn’t going 100%. He can’t kill Ned and wants to see how good of a fighter Ned is. Also, Jaime is 35-37 and Ned is about 40. So he isn’t that much older.
That bard in the scene when we first see Tyrion shows up a handful of times singing this song he is working on. Maybe he should have chose a different song.
We do plan on reading and discussing books here on the channel in the near future, from Harry Potter, GOT, LOTR and beyond. We’re envisioning a chapter dissection podcast format. Highlighting and bringing notes and discussing everything in between the lines. Much love!

So, it reveals something essential about Varys: he is in cahoots with Illyrio and he is taking an active part in PROTECTING the last Targaryen heirs, possibly preparing a Targaryen restoration. Varys is seemingly serving the Crown by planting a spy (Jorah Mormont) in Essos, reporting back to the Council and agreeing to Robert’s kill order. But at the same time, he is revealed to be plotting with Illyrio to accelerate the Dothraki invasion. Not sure you got it… it sheds a new light on Varys’ true motivations, which are quite difficult to read at this stage.
you should watch history and lore after S1
I’m in it with you two now. Let’s go! Can’t wait for the next one :)
Please react history and lore after the season
I still amaze by Baris and Baelish conversation, they speak just like two smart arrogant people and I enjoy every second of it 😊
“He’s gonna teach him some advanced swordplay” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since you guys are Harry Potter fans, I don’t know if you noticed or if others might have mentioned it but the actress that plays Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) also played Hermione Granger's mother in Harry Potter.
Yes! Wish we could’ve seen more of her role as Hermione’s mom in Harry Potter because she is a phenomenal actress. I think we did point it out in another episode, but we definitely overlooked it at first😅
@mentallygonereacts I agree it would of been awesome to see her more in that roll, she's such an amazing actor! You guys have to keep an eye out in GOT. There are few more actors from Harry Potter that make an appearance 😁
I really, really liked your reaction. It seemed like you both really enjoyed the episode, dialogue, and even so much so that you're rooting at the end. The appreciation for the dialogue is great. I mean, just brilliant writing. To me, now you're both really into it. Keep it up! 💪
While we empathize with Daenerys as she comes off as a good person, she is still a valid political target for Robert Baratheon. It'd be one thing for her to try to live incognito in a town trying to make an honest living for herself, but she married a warmonger who is positioned to bring devastation to his own continent even if he never sets foot in Westeros.
I was in two minds about watching GoT for the first time in.. ahem, enchanted state of mind. But now I'm strongly for a sharp mind. Don't get me wrong. I'm an over-analayser myself, and I highly enjoy new Jungian or Biblical takes like "Arya retrieving the truth from the belly of a beast". That made me to fall in love with your channel from the first minutes of E1 after show discussion. Most probably that the enchanted state does help fishing those out. But the line today - "maybe the Mad King died or something" - made me to facepalm soooo hard. :( Please, better stay focused than enchanted.
The writing is insane in the first 4 seasons, where they actually have true source material from George Martin. Been saying it for years, we never had this perfection in writing since decades on a show. Its spectactular, its unreal. Its unbelievably multilayered. Its subtle, its sublime. Every word matters and has value. Every look means something. Its nuts. Its what makes the show a miracle of film-making. Its all about the writing. Always has been. Its why everybody needs to watch GOT, and not skip it, despite its later failures on the last seasons.
You guys are in for one hell of a journey. Once in a lifetime experience.
And yet here we all are wanting to relive this, through your eyes. :D
Fun fact: Jamie is one of the best swordsman in this world Ned was not even comparable to him... Its just in the show they let him go toe-to-toe😊
I mean, you can see Jamie having the time of his life fighting Ned while smiling meanwhile Ned is shitting himself.
And yet ned still stood his ground Jamie couldn't even beat a man older then him😂😂😂
@@E-x4d1234that's my point buddy in the books it does not happen like this they did not execute properly in this show that Jamie was superior to ned infact ned was barely hanging on against Jamie.
@@sarangbaag9982 still couldn't beat him they made Jamie wack asf
Easily my fav “reactors”, wonderful experience
On several points of your guy's discussion, which I love btw:
First I have some constructive criticism. Tho your whole brand is being mentally gone, I suggest cutting some of your tangents that go for tad too long and go off topic. Maybe upload a "full discussion" vid after every reaction or save some of those tangents for Patreon. Except things like the therapy bit. Shit like that is peak emergent entertainment.
Otherwise, please keep the long format. As a fan of longform content and podcasts, having something new to listen to in the background is great. Also all the people complaining about it should learn how to put a video to 1.5x speed.
On the Medieval or "Dark Ages". They weren't that dark, by all means it was just like most pre 18th-20th century life. The whole idea of it being the "Dark Ages" where it was a violent and ignorant part of human history is just old historians over romanticizing the Romans and Greeks. There was plenty of advancement and progress through those times, sure lots of it was blood soaked but that's ALL history.
On the Vale, it's called the Vale cause a "vale" is a type of valley. It's basically known as the Valley. However all your guys' theorizing on symbolism is awesome. It usually gets boring when all reactors talk about is "what's gonna happen next", "wasn't that so cool", or "isn't this character awesome/awful" so some actual thematic discussion is great. Even when its off the mark a bit if not a lot.
Finally, my fav character: Lion ✋ 🦁 🗡️
Keep doing ur thing guys, people can chose to watch or not watch. I choose to watch them listen to the convo ❤
Continue doing the good work guys
At 27:29 it was not exactly necromancy they were talking about 😅
Having a great time watching these, keep 'em coming!
So much yet to come!!
Guys I REALLY need y’all to react to Ren- Hi Ren!!!! I know you don’t react to music normally, but this is FAR more than music! It’s a life changing experience!!!! I’m not kidding, when I say it changed my life!!!!!! PLEASE react to it!!!! (Plus… he has an AMAZING community of Renegades, who will pull up in a BIG way!!!) you’re both going to LOVE him, no cap!!!!! Love y’all!!! I’d NEVER steer you wrong!!! ❤
I love the extra talk at the end
Comments like yours help keep us going! Our journey on UA-cam and in life off camera has been pretty bumpy and doing these reactions makes everything worth it. As I write this, I’m drinking coffee and setting up the camera to record episode 6. Much love! - Caley & Gabi
@mentallygonereacts can't wait
It's like you said. At 52:55 in this video about stories being entertainment, it is still true today
“The sharpest knives are the smallest” that’s actually really profound.
He said nepotism in a medieval feudal society lmao
Jaime is only three years younger than Ned
That's true when it comes to characters. Its NOT true when it comes to true actor age though. In fact Jaime actor was 41 years old when s01 was released (2011), while Ned actor Sean Bean was in fact more than 10 years older at the time. He was 52 at the time. So their reaction regarding their age was 100% on point. When it comes down to it you can't really hide your age. The decade difference was 100% correct.
Ned is not a master mind, but at least 1+1=2 for him :
Jon was poisoned to shut his mouth.
Who ordered the murder ?
Someone who had something to hide.
Who did he/she generously payed to murder the Hand ?
Someone close enough to him to have access to his meals and drinks, and stupid enough to expose the reward of his crime : sudden lot of money and being knighted.
So what happens to a henchman who speaks too much ?
They cut his throat.
I don't see symbols in that. Just logic.
I puff puff every time I tune in to GoT reactions!!
Wolf! ...I can’t wait to see your 8 hour reaction to the ‘histories and lore’ videos 😉
We always see you in the comments, beyond grateful for the ongoing support! As soon as this series is over, we’ll react to the lore video. Much love! - Caley and Gabi
@@mentallygonereacts I love what you guys do, and I always get so much from your post reaction discussions. Thank you ❤️
14:00 in the greater lore for the books, there is a story where someone accidentally kills a Prince. It is from an amazing book called "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" set around 100 years before the main series. You can read it with no spoilers for the show, its so good.
Isn't that coming as a show next year
@ still plenty of time to read the book
Morocco for Dany story, Northern Ireland is Winterfell (well, mostly), Dubrovnik is King's Landing. Northern Ireland and Scotland in general for other scenes, like on the road, or staying at the inn, and so one. Yes, mostly all are on location, different countries, different crews. Wait till it expands into some wild places.
And Spain in future seasons too.
@@fina4907 yeah, didn't mention it, just so that wouldn't start figuring out stuff (bc there is also one other country on this list)
This show really shows you how powerful women are and don’t realize it while men use women’s power for their own means.
I vote no more edibles.
What exactly are they taking?
One half is CBD and the other half is hemp derived delta 8. It’s legal where we live and it’s our way of taking the edge off every now and then - since neither of us drink or use anything else. A very small amount of viewers have shown fear based mongering and anti-edible sensibilities in the comments, this person above and maybe 2 others. Which is ridiculous considering most culture defining figures in the annals of history have shown a propensity towards using therapeutic compounds as lubricants and tools to unlock healing and creativity. Shakespeare, Poe, Huxley, Nietzsche, Jobs, Beatles, Hendrix, Kennedy, Churchill, Edison, Watts and the list goes on and on and on. The attention must always be turned towards the work that is being accomplished. Also, maybe it’s worth noting for the record, that only a hand-full of the videos on this channel have featured gummies (1-5) out of 62. And every metric and feedback comment has shown exponential growth in the quality of the discussions after each viewing, and with each new video. Moral of the story is: who cares, 2025 is around the corner. Let’s all just sit back and enjoy the ride. We both will, regardless :) - Caley & Gabi
@@mentallygonereacts no “fear base mongering” here, or uptight thinking- you do whatever, I could care less. Half jokingly, I was (very non-aggressively, I might add) saying I liked your reactions more when you are less giggly for no reason. You are the one that started the video saying, unnecessarily, that your reaction may be affected because you had an edible. I was, as a consistent viewer, expressing that was not my preference based on the end-result. The “no vote” was a benign attempt to give you insight into your reactions. I thank you for your support.
first reactors i've seen recognize the symbolism of the eyrie being linked to eastern mysticism. wow
Jaime is supposed to be the greatest swordsman alive after Ser Barristan.
Ned is only like a couple years older than Jaime.
You seem a bit confused with the Targaryen genealogy. Aerys I was called the Mad King. He was married to his sister Rhaella in true Targaryen fashion. They did not love each other very much. They had 3 kids: Rhaegar (the heir, died during Robert’s rebellion, killed by Robert himself) and many years later, Viserys and Daenerys. Daenerys was born during a big storm in Dragonstone (hence the nickname Daenerys Stormborn you will sometimes hear). Her pregnant mother and Viserys were smuggled to Dragonstone when rebel troops approached King’s Landing. Rhaella died in childbirth and loyalists took both children to safety in Essos, in exile.
OMG needed this… gonna grab a coffeeeee
my favourite character is neither wolf or lion but if i have to choose between those two i choose wolf because my second favourite is wolf
1:13:34 The fingers, where Littlefinger comes from, is a peninsula in the valley lands
Just to clarify, the place where Catelyn and Tyrion went is called The Vale which isa type of valley not The Veil. Not that it can't be a double meaning, just want to make sure you have the right info.
Carolyn?
@ 🤦🏾♂️ autocorrect… I meant Catelyn
Please see my comment further down. I love these long conversations.
You are, I believe, the only reactors who've ever noticed that Varys is talking to Ilyrio, down in the crypts. I don't know why this should be so, as Roger Allam has such a distinctive voice.
Interesting trying to equate the Vale with a veil, though it's hard to think of Lysa Arryn as the keeper of any special knowledge.
I think it’s different to spend that kinda time after a show, but I’m more jealous that I can’t do that; I’d like to stop my head and have a long chat someday
Just don't base any career decisions on Game of Thrones popularity alone. It could be that this show gives you the highest ratings you'll ever have.
Stop saying the Dothraki have fields full of weed... IT AIN'T WEED!
“…boys, birds… Boirds 😂…”
The actor whio plays Robin son of a Jon Arryn is a Brazilian actor!!!. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷.
🦁
It's "Rock the Dragon" btw lol.
Ned was a very good swordsman but jaimi is one of the best swordsman ever born in westros...
Gods the writing was strong back then.
No ned isn’t much older than Jamie……they are actually the same age
Ha ha I thought my family was the only who clap when they watch tv 😂❤😂
wolf! from beginning to end
PS: please guys, no more edibles...
The writing is top shelf.
Histories and lore videos would answer a lot of your questions about how we got here
This is one of many things I look forward to every week. Still wish I could have a personal convo with both of you but damn I can’t wait till the next episode. Also. Would y’all EVER consider a shout out? I love you guys. I’m telling you. You’re vulnerability and the way you both think.. we would be great friends in real life.
Lmao the castles arent real its the shots of nature that are filmed in Scotland
Enjoy watching you very much👍🏻
GODS THE WRITING WAS STRONG THEN
One thing about Robert is that while hes a perfect casting personality wise physically hes too short.
You are not ready for whats coming next....
Gummies a helluva candy.
11:30 until season 7… but thats a long conversation… the books didn’t finish
Ned is a much better fighter in the show than in books. Also, Jaime isn’t going 100%. He can’t kill Ned and wants to see how good of a fighter Ned is. Also, Jaime is 35-37 and Ned is about 40. So he isn’t that much older.
Varys vs Little Finger is so good
I see the 2 1/2 hours of you guys talking is nonsense I get it!
Rob Stark is my favorite character by far!
you guys have to watch Arcane, your in depth discussions about that show would be amazing
That bard in the scene when we first see Tyrion shows up a handful of times singing this song he is working on. Maybe he should have chose a different song.
25:58 these dragons are nothing compared to Balerion The Black Dread who belonged to Ageon The Conquer. You'll learn about him soon.
How do they know she's a Rastafarian Targarian. Amazing gummi foresight.
I think Ronald Reagan served 2 terms rather than one and was strongly anti cannabis / drugs…
47:45 they both 35 years old in the books
This comment is an offering to the algorithm gods. Also, cês são mó daora ❤️🇧🇷
I heard some of it was filmed in Iceland
The breastplate stretcher is a medieval blinker fluid.
Wolf!
Thank you
You should read the books 👍🏻
We do plan on reading and discussing books here on the channel in the near future, from Harry Potter, GOT, LOTR and beyond. We’re envisioning a chapter dissection podcast format. Highlighting and bringing notes and discussing everything in between the lines. Much love!
