@@NovaLena22 They are great at set pieces and self contained scenes and storylines. They are incredible incompetent at long time storytelling and character arcs.
Im not really a fan of season 5 as a whole but Jon parrying that blow is my favorite moment in the entire series, especially cos of how they both look surprised
@@jake4524 Season 5 is the final bit of setting up the chessboard for the conclusion of the series.. Jon’s rescue of the Wildings, Ramsey in Winterfell, Daenerys and Tyrion connecting, Littlefinger’s machinations, Arya’s training, and Cersei’s treatment at the hands of the High Sparrow… all of it has major impact for the next two episodes and last 3 seasons. The only thing we were missing this seasons was Bran… but we can’t talk about that without *spoilers*
The dynamic between Dany and Tyrion here, the talk they have about their fathers, the two families' intertwined past, the ruling elite and breaking the wheel, all of it is very engaging. The intensity between Sansa and Reek as they lock eyes and finally, after so many false hopes, you see a little bit of Theon come out. A little bit of light in all the blackness. The walkers appearing on top of that foggy hill like the four horsemen of apocalpyse >>>
When Jon holds Longclaw in the air and yells "Night's Watch With Me!" as the handful of Brothers in Black run to the opposite direction of the retreating sea of Wildling gray. The freeze frame moment leading up to the Valyrian Steel revelation. The ending with Night King slow walking through the creaking plank. Those are the three shots I live for. The cinematography is impeccable. It's emotive and ominous. This one's up there with the top ones.
Hardhome is one of my favorite episodes for the ambience alone. The dark and barren looking snowy panorama throughout the evacuation always gives me slow anxiety. The environment feels very "Othery"..pun intended. This is a continuation of the darkness of the recent episodes. As I said last time thr North just feels like a dystopian fairy tale inverted on its head right now, mesmerizing in its eerie silence.
Season 3 and 4 were dark in terms of theme and plot lines. But I believe season 5 is the more effed up of the entire series in terms of sheer pain and misery for both "heroes" and "villains."
Fire can kill the undead but it can't kill white walkers. If you watch closely, you''ll notice that when the white walker came into the building, the fire in his path died as he walked towards it.
This is arguably one of the best episodes in the entire series. It’s funny, the first time I saw the Night King raising his arms I thought he was gesturing to John as if to say “is that all you got?” Lol Another great reaction!
Valyrian steel can kill a White Walker but the making of it was lost when old Valyria met its doom centuries ago. The best that can be done is recasting it like how the Lannisters recast Ned Stark's very large Valyrian steel sword into two smaller swords.
This episode was critically acclaimed and I absolutely love it because I love the apocalyptic undertone of the battle, Sapochnick's direction is very different from the previous battles. Episodes like Hardhome is why it's worth reminding this season won an unparalleled total of 12 Emmys (Breaking Bad won 16 total in context) and was reaching peak viewership. That's why I love this despite the polarizing way the season ends. "Wicked Games" is the perfect theme for this season. No season with a Hardhome in it should be considered a net negative in any logical way even though they deviated from super important things like Jeyne Poole lol.
Great reaction! Note: the Night King can make more whitewalkers by touching them, and make more wights (sp?) by raising the dead. They are not the same (aka lieutenants and the army) but all follow him.
Not just the best episode of S5; one of the top 10 best episodes throughout the show! The director also did the last two episodes of Season 6! Something to look forward to😊. He is also one of two show runners of the upcoming GoT prequel House of the Dragon! M. Sapochnik has directed the pilot and two additional episodes.
I did not know that the director of this chapter also directed the last two episodes of season 6, but it is a great surprise since Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter are some of my favorites from the entire series
The best episode is yet to come. It's a toss up between what happens to Cersei and what happens to Jon Snow. If we follow the book version, there would be no Jon Snow in the seasons 6-8.
"Oh my sweet summer child what do you know about fear? Fear is for the winter when the snows fall a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north. Fear is for the long night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness...." 🥶 Ahh man the notorious Night King hand stretch moment lol!! What the second half of five does well is portraying a feeling of airtight hopelesness. It's demoralizing but addictive at the same time. Hardhome is nuts.
I mean I totally understand you "symphatizing" with Cersei: It feels bad to watch someone be in that desperate of a situation, humiliated, I felt that too. But I think saying that she does everything for the good of her children is being too generous. I'm sure that's what she thinks she is doing, but rather, she comes across as quite the archetype of a narcissistic mother: Who sees her children as extentions of herself, and wishes to be in control of them. It’s so hypocritical of Cersei to preach about how Margaery and Tywin will use Tommen to meet their goals and pull him apart… Sure, Margaery wants to be the queen, and Tywin wanted to lead a successful reign through his grandson… But the most toxic influence in his life is Cersei herself. Without her, he would potentially rule the kingdom wisely (albeit as ruthlessly as Tywin would have deemed necessary) and enjoy having a loving wife. Tywin and Margaery both understood the importance of their cooperation, so they wouldnt necessarily have pulled Tommen in different directions… This is of course all hypothetical now. But when Margaery controlled Joffrey, Tywin did express he was pleased with it. However, Cersei certainly will bring upon distress and conflict, because *she* wants to be in control of Tommen and the kingdom, and can't accept him being happy with Margaery.
Now you really see how very very big the problem is. Not only do you have to face the army of the dead, but everyone you lose from your side...now joins the other side & fights against you. Love this episode & look forward to the next one.
So! the whole "Faceless Man" thing just screams actor training to me and may be why I enjoy this storyline more than most. Not having read the books, I wonder how much of that comes from the textual representation of this journey and how much is tv writer interpretation, but I'd wager it's similar. One thing that really makes the connection for me is a technique in acting called Neutral Mask. Essentially, while wearing a plain mask, the actor challenges themselves to inhabit pure neutrality in their physical form as well. Still a human form, but losing all mannerisms, gaits, habits, memories, injuries, etc that have resulted in the unique posture and presentation we all have. It is much easier to build a character that is unlike yourself as an actor if you are starting from a neutral place, rather than starting with your own mannerisms and habits. Character actors typically need do this much more than leading roles. This skill is why some actors feel like remarkably different people in every role, and others seem to be playing different versions of themselves. Arya's journey is the same thing. To be believable as an assassin, she has to build her character's backstory from the place of "no one," or neutrality, rather than trying to alter her own mannerisms as Arya Stark and step right onto stage, so to speak. To blend in, she has to fully commit to her new identity. Carrying parts of herself into it is a much bigger burden than shedding them and starting from scratch.
This is one of my favorite episodes I can’t wait to see your reactions for the next two! Seeing Tormund cry watching his people die and he can’t help them is what gets me the most in this episode.
I love that you seem to be powering through season 5. I would have suggested that, considering how it’s one of the more depressing seasons for me personally.
The giant is named Wun Wun because George R. R. Martin's favorite football team is the New York Giants and he named his giant after the number worn by their former quarterback Phil Simms who wore #11.
Fun fact: The actress playing Karsi (the wildling woman who was killed by the wight children at Hardhome) is Danish, and friends with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (also Danish) who plays Jaime Lannister!
i love how after being kidnapped by Jorah and then sold to slavers, Tyrion shortly after finds himself drinking wine with the queen... a bit like Ben Linus in Lost... "a week ago he was a captive and now he's eating pound cake... he's a guy who gets what he wants" lol
That moment when Jon's sword connects with the white walker's and they both look at each other in surprise that it didn't break is like almost made for a reaction. It's moments like this for why I love watching reaction videos lol. This episode was straight crack! Awesome!
9:08 Pycelle is still the Grand Maester. Qyburn's official title at this point is Master of Whisperers (Varys' former position, before he fled the capital and continent).
Another of those amazing episodes that saves a season and gives you something to marvel at for a week. And now we know the ancient reason valyrian steel is do valued.
The White Walker commander essentially resurrected the dead, as new white walkers. That's scary. As for you and your channel. I tend to binge watch at least a season at a time, lol. I enjoy your emotions, and I am touched when you cry for someone that you have come to 'love'. There are many heartbreaking moments in this series, darn it. Of course, there are nearly as many moments of bravery and justice. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Have a very blessed week ahead.
First Sansa tried the remember who you are on Theon,, now she uses a little stick and NOW she has 3 reasons to stay alive...Jon, Bran and Rickon, also at this point she last new of Arya back in S2 per LF being alive, but may be sitting in the back of her mind.
Ngl that was a straight up boss move by the Night King. Like...keeping eye contact with Jon the whole time he's raising the dead, he was all "Watch THIS sht, homie. What are you gonna do about it?" 😂😂
House Stark Valyrian steel sword ICE was melted down and reforged by Tywin as two swords: Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper. So there is no Stark Valyrian sword anymore. Brienne and Jaime or Tommen have two new swords.
Hello love. Great review! This one was one of my favorite episodes. The night king is so scary. He's a true nightmare. Fire can not kill the whitewalkers. Bodies were burned to peevent them from being added to the army of the dead.
Not sure it's available online, but there's a great documentary on the season 5 DVD about the making of this episode. Definitely worth a watch, it made me appreciate this episode even more.
I wonder why Brandon the builder built a wall instead of a massive mote. If he had turned everything north of the wall into its own island, the Walkers would be restricted to that space with only wildlings to kill.
"Break the Wheel" as beautiful as this invented dialogue by Daenerys is (because it doesn't have it in the books), it doesn't make any sense. She, a Targaryen, wants to rule and break this wheel, but this wheel was created by the Targaryen family, who spent more than 250 years in absolute power, so if she is queen of Westeros, she will only be returning with the wheel that Aegon the first built when he conquered Westeros 🤣
Actually, it can make sense since she wants to change the way of ruling, it’s not the person or the family, it’s just the way of doing things, she wanted to rule in a different way.
@@nicolasguzman519 You can never break the wheel. She is a hypocrite, she wants to conquer westeros, not even, SHE WANTS TO CONQUER THE ENTIRETY OF PLANETOS. She doesn't want to break the wheel, she wants to temporarily wound the wheel, and once she does that, she wants to rebuild the wheel with one SHE sees fit, and climb the ladder to the top.
When Daenarys says she wants to break the wheel what she means is she wants the exact same system of government but with her in control of it. I don't think the writers of this show have any idea what they're talking about. This is why the dialogue got so strange after they overtook the books. Breaking the "wheel" (feudal monarchy) would mean giving up her power and claim to the throne and making the kingdoms of Westeros republics. Otherwise after she dies the same power struggles she vowed to end would start again.
The dull, colorless fatalism of hardhome is straight up unnerving. The "shield that guards the realms of men" finally comes face to face with Death itself!
maybe this interests you... if I'm not mistaken in the episode of "History and lore" of season 5, at one point the narration begins the history of the civil war that we will see soon in the prequel "House of the Dragon" If you want to enter the new series without knowing anything, it would be good if you avoid that part. the part you have to avoid is called "The Dance Of Dragons". What precedes that part will help you to have a little more context about the history prior to the series.🔥🔥🔥
The leader of the White Walkers is probably the only one who can raise dead people in the manner we see at the end. For other White Walkers, the process will require touch.
Hardhome is one of my fav GOT episodes. The head Wight walker is the Night King he has the dark power of necromancy. Yes Longclaw is a Valyrian steel only that and dragon glass & fire kills Wights.
Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun, nicknamed Wun Wun, is a giant. Wun Wun is at least fourteen feet tall, even larger than Mag the Mighty, and possesses the strength of twelve men. Whilst typically passive, he will lash out if provoked.He is vegetarian, and speaks the Old Tongue. How Wun Wun got his name -The author George R.R. Martin is a fan of the NY Giants of America football ( namely not soccer ), he lost a bet to a friend who is a fan of the football team Dallas Cowboys, their logo and colors are blue and silver and show a star on their helmets. George asked his friend what he wanted as a prize, his friend replied I want to be a character in your book, George created Ser Patrek of King's Mountain ( protects Stannis's Wife ), Wun Wun = number11 number 11 the Jersey number of Phil Simms of the NY Giants..... the rest is in the future.😉
Your getting there nice one. The reason there is no more Valryian steel is because it was forged with dragon fire. Every head of Westeros great houses holds one, passed down from father to son, going back to Bran the builder - the original Stark who built the wall and winterfell. All northerners are descendants of the first men. "The north remembers" was an old northern quote used by Rob. And when they made him King, "We know no King but the King of the north, who's name is Stark" - also an old northern quote. The real meaning of them has been lost to time. Ned could have told his kids more had he lived. Those bloody Lannisters eh?
I swear! American indian war cry and Banshee scream is nothing compare to your screaming. This combined with the bell ringing is devastating beyond anything. 😵
This episode certainly shows us what happens when people are left to fight against the army of the dead. They didn't get anywhere near the number of Wildlings onto the ships that Jon had hoped for. And the "head white-walker" is known as "The Night King."
I always wondered...was it purely coincidence that John arrived at Hardhome just before the White Walkers attacked? Or could the arrival of John and the Night's Watch somehow have triggered the White Walker attack?
Hey Calypso, this episod shows why Tywin didn't trust Cersei. He said to her, "It's not becasue you are a woman that I don't trust you. It's because you are act smarter than you thin k you are." Cersei's games of manipulation to avoid marrying Lores led her to get in leadgue with the faith militant. As a bonus they to Margerie for her. However she underestimates the zeal of religious zealots. Now they have taken her as well. She did what Tywin always feared, she let her emotions lead her to a short term win without understanding the long term ramifications. CErsei is great at oppressing, not ruling. This is what her father feared, and it hasd come to past.

30. I included “Oh God”s and “My God”s and one “Holy God”. Not including any after the episode ended.

The person who did this episode and all other big episodes in the future is the co showrunner of house of the dragon so, sooooo excited
When Jon holds Longclaw in the air and yells "Night's Watch With Me!" as the handful of Brothers in Black run to the opposite direction of the retreating sea of Wildling gray. The freeze frame moment leading up to the Valyrian Steel revelation. The ending with Night King slow walking through the creaking plank. Those are the three shots I live for. The cinematography is impeccable. It's emotive and ominous. This one's up there with the top ones.
SAME!!! also the silent stare down with the howling wind:)
Hardhome is one of my favorite episodes for the ambience alone. The dark and barren looking snowy panorama throughout the evacuation always gives me slow anxiety. The environment feels very "Othery"..pun intended. This is a continuation of the darkness of the recent episodes.

I loved the the scene of Jon wielding his Valerian Steel sword and its sound is so satisfying
You are correct. Valyrian Steel and Dragon Glass (Obsidian), can kill the White Walkers and wights. Fire can kill wights.
This was the episode, upon seeing it for the first time, made me realize that everything south of the Wall means nothing.

When Daenarys says she wants to break the wheel what she means is she wants the exact same system of government but with her in control of it. I don't think the writers of this show have any idea what they're talking about. This is why the dialogue got so strange after they overtook the books. Breaking the "wheel" (feudal monarchy) would mean giving up her power and claim to the throne and making the kingdoms of Westeros republics. Otherwise after she dies the same power struggles she vowed to end would start again.
The "main white walker" *lmfao* is know as the "Ice King" xD good video :)
Theon Greyjoy...What a character!
The Night King raises all the dead Wildlings now on his side = the moment when you realize we have a math emergency ! !
The Army of the Dead knows no enemy and always new recruits.
32:12 - he's called The Night King.
Yup, it just got real!
33:18 Buckle up. It's about to get even CRAZIER.
The dull, colorless fatalism of hardhome is straight up unnerving. The "shield that guards the realms of men" finally comes face to face with Death itself!
Waited hours for this.. ❤❤❤🥵
One of the best episodes of the series
31:10 You are in the presence of the one true king, the _Night King_
Love watching Your journey of this Show. Keep posting em. Thank you!
I love it when you ring that bell! ❤🔔
maybe this interests you... if I'm not mistaken in the episode of "History and lore" of season 5, at one point the narration begins the history of the civil war that we will see soon in the prequel "House of the Dragon" If you want to enter the new series without knowing anything, it would be good if you avoid that part. the part you have to avoid is called "The Dance Of Dragons". What precedes that part will help you to have a little more context about the history prior to the series.🔥🔥🔥
you've made it to Hardhome! shit's gettin real!
The leader of the White Walkers is probably the only one who can raise dead people in the manner we see at the end. For other White Walkers, the process will require touch.
George RR Martin named the giant Wun Wun after the Quarterback for the NFL team New York Giants whose number was 11, one one.
The NIGHT KING, good job, love the hardhome,, it only gets better from here,, keep going, dear……
i think he can do that raise the dead think as he is the king, but the others are just wights that command the army of white walkers.
Now you know why they say “Winter is Coming.”
That SRK pose though 😅
Now you know why the Wights are skeletons and undead half rotten. That's how the army grows.
like Jon said... they are all just meat for his army
Oooooooo.. Hardhome. This gon be good. 🪑🤾♂️
Hardhome is one of my fav GOT episodes. The head Wight walker is the Night King he has the dark power of necromancy. Yes Longclaw is a Valyrian steel only that and dragon glass & fire kills Wights.
My favorite episode. Reveals just how terrifying the white walkers truly are and the threat they are to the worlds of men.
You are best GoT reactor out there right now. You have a really bright future in the reacting world.
Thank you
She loved hearing how Dani was going to break the wheel. But when it comes time, will she chant her tune? Many of y’all did
WINTER IS COMING!
Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun, nicknamed Wun Wun, is a giant.
Wun Wun is at least fourteen feet tall, even larger than Mag the Mighty, and possesses the strength of twelve men. Whilst typically passive, he will lash out if provoked.He is vegetarian, and speaks the Old Tongue.
How Wun Wun got his name -The author George R.R. Martin is a fan of the NY Giants of America football ( namely not soccer ), he lost a bet to a friend who is a fan of the football team Dallas Cowboys, their logo and colors are blue and silver and show a star on their helmets.
George asked his friend what he wanted as a prize, his friend replied I want to be a character in your book, George created Ser Patrek of King's Mountain ( protects Stannis's Wife ), Wun Wun = number11 number 11 the Jersey number of Phil Simms of the NY Giants..... the rest is in the future.😉
Your getting there nice one. The reason there is no more Valryian steel is because it was forged with dragon fire. Every head of Westeros great houses holds one, passed down from father to son, going back to Bran the builder - the original Stark who built the wall and winterfell. All northerners are descendants of the first men. "The north remembers" was an old northern quote used by Rob. And when they made him King, "We know no King but the King of the north, who's name is Stark" - also an old northern quote. The real meaning of them has been lost to time. Ned could have told his kids more had he lived. Those bloody Lannisters eh?
I swear! American indian war cry and Banshee scream is nothing compare to your screaming. This combined with the bell ringing is devastating beyond anything. 😵
Ahh yes. waited for this.
The Night King 👑 siuuu moment
This episode certainly shows us what happens when people are left to fight against the army of the dead. They didn't get anywhere near the number of Wildlings onto the ships that Jon had hoped for. And the "head white-walker" is known as "The Night King."
I always wondered...was it purely coincidence that John arrived at Hardhome just before the White Walkers attacked? Or could the arrival of John and the Night's Watch somehow have triggered the White Walker attack?
this is the way
My name is Jon Snow, "and I know nothing" hahahahahah you have no idea how hard I laughed, needed that hahaha. I love your reactions!
Hey Calypso, this episod shows why Tywin didn't trust Cersei. He said to her, "It's not becasue you are a woman that I don't trust you. It's because you are act smarter than you thin k you are." Cersei's games of manipulation to avoid marrying Lores led her to get in leadgue with the faith militant. As a bonus they to Margerie for her. However she underestimates the zeal of religious zealots. Now they have taken her as well. She did what Tywin always feared, she let her emotions lead her to a short term win without understanding the long term ramifications. CErsei is great at oppressing, not ruling. This is what her father feared, and it hasd come to past.
I love her....why am I just finding you ❤❤❤
