At first I thought Tywin offered Arya the food out of some sort of kindness. But then I realized he just watched a man die to poison so he only offered Arya that meal as a guinea pig to make sure the food isn’t also poisoned lmao
I mean to be fair, he also tells her to eat what she wants as she brings food back to the kitchen, so he's DOES offer food out of kindness at the end of the scene, so I wouldn't say he's ONLY offering the meal as a guinea pig. Tywin's not a good person, but he's not a mustache twirling villain. Tywin respects intelligence, and as he even says in this very episode he likes Arya. He has zero reason to lie, considering we see him answering her pretty honestly in other episodes when he answers questions about his father, or talks about Jamie struggling to read.
@ oh yeah definitely, he definitely really likes Arya and 100% tells her to eat what she wants in the kitchen out of his own form of kindness. But letting her eat a meal that was *made* for him was definitely making sure there wasn’t any poison. like you said he isnt a good man, even though he likes and respects Arya, he’d have no problem letting her die to poison if it meant saving himself.
@@consistentlystupid4726Being sincere and mixing honest answers with lies is what actually makes a good liar. And we know he IS a liar: he posed as an ally to Aerys Targaryen but pillaged the city once the doors opened. He's not a man of honor, he does whatever it takes to win and that includes killing, raping and lying. He says it in the very first scene he's in too: "a lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of the sheeps". he is not a mustache twirling villain indeed, but he's definitely an opportunist and lying is not beneath him.
The interactions between Arya and Tywin are genuinely some of my most unexpected favorite moments in the series. For a scene that doesn't involve imminent physical danger, the scenes manage to create a remarkable amount of tension with regards to Arya potentially being discovered. It also offers a wonderful glimpse into Tywin's motivations, and character while his guard is more relaxed.
Tywin is very very smart, but he´s not psychic. There is no way for him to know for sure that she is actually *the* Arya Stark because he has never seen Arya Stark in person. Even Littlefinger didnt know for sure, but likely saw Catelyns features in her. But the fact that Tywin figured out that Arya was both a northener and nobility just from a handful of conversations with her shows why he´s so feared.
The way Littlefinger’s eyes were following Arya in that scene convinces me that he knew tbf. Let’s not forget they’ve interacted before. Arya asked why people call him Littlefinger back in season 1 at the tourney, and he explained. He said nothing to Tywin because “knowledge is power”
I don’t think Littlefinger knew. If he did he would have definitely used it to ingratiate himself with Tywin. There’s no way he clocks that and doesn’t say anything. I think part of it is that noblemen don’t really look at commoners in this world. They’re inconsequential to them and are only around to perform tasks. He also would never expect to see Arya there with Tywin so I don’t think it registered in his brain.
Also Arya is said to strongly take after the Stark side of the family (she and Jon are said to be two children that look purely Stark) so Littlefinger would not see a resemblance to Cat.
@@SusanbVT555 Wrong on every count. Good lord. He didn't need to integrate himself with Tywin right then. Telling Tywin gives the Lanniters another hostage and would end the war with the starks quicker, ending the chaos faster that Littlefinger needs. And we literally SEE him recognize Arya. He does a double take. Then he looks closer and smirks. And then when he talks about Catelyns DAUGHTER he looks right at her. You need to use your head
Man o man my only wish from Tywin and Arya's brilliant interactions is that he somehow found out down the line that he had her as his cup bearer...would have loved to see his reaction 😂😂😂
One thing about this episode that likely remains true from book to show is that those two Orphan/millers boys is heavily alluded to as being Theons own sons as he had relations with the millers wife. Theon likely had his own sons tortured and killed.
Yeah Theon is an idiot, but he’s also a very realistic human individual who’s clearly internally and externally being pulled in multiple directions (Starks or Greyjoys, good or bad, honor or treachery). George RR Martin is a master at writing characters and his characters easily would’ve been written as a one note bad guy by lesser writers
You've probably been told this 1000 times by now, but in case you haven't, It Harrington (Jon Snow) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte) are now married in real life.
You’re spot on about Theon. He has major abandonment issues and is desperately trying to win his Father’s approval. He isn’t behaving rationally and has lost sight of who was really there for him for the last decade or so. He doesn’t really even know who his Father is and if he did he probably wouldn’t like or respect him after being raised by the Starks.
28:00 imagine meeting your favorite team and taking a knee before them in person and swearing an oath of fealty before the whole court, tons of witnesses. And after you do, your entire family is beholden to that, and BOOKS are written to teach people about your family and who you are sworn loyal to, that's where their brainspace was

It's crazy watching these old episodes and remembering that we used to hate Jaime.
1:19 He's not just the dad from The VVitch, he's... FINCHY!!!!
From The Office.
Ralph Ineson. His voice is fantastic.
Recognised the voice before his face
Galactus!
And hes a major character in Diablo 4

I’ve never seen a reactor catch that dude from The Witch.
I don't know how more people don't notice it with that unmistakable voice of his.
Chris Finch, bloody good rep.
OMG the way your drink looked at 0:23, I only glanced at it and it looked it was full of little ants or something. Nightmare fuel.
15:44
And done what with her body? Like do you think that bodiss just disappear once their dead? It's a big castle.
I remember hating Jamie too at this point but his lines and delivery was so good I started to respect him as a villain.
They're in season 2 talking about killing innocent civilians and children is wrong and causes revolutions...just wait.

You seen the interview where he talked about pranking her? 😂
@WrathOfGrapesN7 I have not. What happened?
@@eudite1762 it involves a prop head, a refrigerator, and Rose getting a glass of water.

OH, and if you break that oath, they execute you.
9:42 SHE SAID THE THING 👀
Woo woo something to watch at work tonight
Maple with her pickle jar has me 💀. keep pickle jars... they are gonna be useful to me one day too.
Dad from The Witch is going to be Galactus 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Crisped Children... No spoilers but wasn't that said in later episodes and not this one?
Rose Leslie is Kit Harington’s wife irl 😅
The guy you call the Dad from The Witch ... I know him from the original, the English The Office, way back when Ricky Gervais could be funny.
