    Also, quick note that will make it easier to understand: the Targaryen’s (Daenerys and Viserys, the two platinum blondes) ruled the 7 Kingdoms for hundreds of years before King Robert ruled. He usurped the Targaryen throne and killed the prince (the one who he hates bc he killed Ned’s sister, the girl he loved) around 17 years before the show starts. That’s why Viserys keeps saying that he wants to “take back” his family throne.

    Direwolves were actually real funny enough although the show does its own fantasy thing. They were around mostly in the Americas during the late Pleistocene/early Holocene (125,000-9,500 years ago). They were slightly larger (about as big on average as the biggest wolves today and bigger) with larger skulls and teeth. Pretty kewl

    3 things you need to know about this show.....1.) It NEVER holds back on any level. 2.) In terms of writing, character archs, and plot development, it does not follow more traditional patterns or "formulas" of story telling, so don't assume anything based on how other shows or stories handled things. 3.) Watch all of the intros......they are always the map, but it changes and highlights different places with each episode, as those are the places the story will be taking place in that episode. Also, and I think this is overlooked by a lot of reactors/fans.....the books were written from each Character's points of view, with each chapter being one character's POV of a larger story unfolding before their eyes and in other places all at once. The show did a good job of capturing this by jumping between stories that seem disconnected but slowly merge together into one story.

    OK, a new GOT reactor. I'm in and subscribed. I love this show. You did good noticing things and had some good comments. I'll suggest one more thing, the opening credits should be watched. The different locations that are named and where the camera zooms into them, they indicate locations in that episode. You can get an idea where places are in relation to each other. One more thing, you made a comment about how quickly Bran's direwolf puppy grew. There are many time jumps in this show, sometimes there are weeks or maybe months between scenes. Sometimes not. I have found it's best not to let it get to you, just go with the flow of the show and enjoy it.

      A great example of the time jumps you mention is that it took the King and his entourage a month to ride from King's Landing to Winterfell, so between the scene of Jon Arryn's body with the twins (Jaime & Cersei) talking and the scene shortly thereafter with the King arriving was a month or so later. The mention of how long the trip would take was just a quick mention in what might appear to be a "throwaway line", but even those often have significance.

    A Maester is a sort of steward of a house. They are members of an order that are highly educated and trained as doctors/healers then assigned to a specific castle to serve the Lords and Ladies of that castle, regardless of the family or people who hold or govern the castle currently. Being educated they also tend to handle the receiving of and sending of written correspondence via Ravens and serve as teachers to the children of the Lords/Ladies

    Dire wolves did indeed once exist but have long been extinct. Also, while they were canines (or maybe the right word is canids?), they were actually quite distantly related to today's gray wolves. The physical resemblance that led to them being called dire "wolves" was just a matter of convergent evolution.

    Some get a white board or big white sheet with a map and can keep track of the many characters and where they are in the many locations of the world.
    The intro changes over time as to where you will see in the episode and if control of places changes you see it reflected on the map.
    Have fun on this rollercoaster Sweet Summer Child!
    The Starks are the Wardens of the North (Lords for that area) so his sons and wife will have to rule in his stead while Ned is Hand of the King.

    Hi Jake, addicted GOT reaction watcher here. For a first time, that was really good. I see a few people saying you talked too much but that didn't occur to me at all. Just avoid spoilers, and don't call the direwolves 'dogs', please please 🙏. They're just PLAYED by dogs.
    I may pop up now and again, as I am particularly interested in the acting and the writing. There are dozens of minor roles throughout the series and I'm so impressed with most of them. And on occasion the writing is amazing. I'll also occasionally boast when I've seen one of the actors on stage. I live near London, it's easy to see the stars.
    One comment about the scene between Viserys and Dany. I never see the slightest flicker of sexual interest in Harry Lloyd's face - must have been hard to do, faced with the gorgeous Emilia Clarke. Viserys looks at her with the same interest he might show towards a horse he's selling. It's how he sees her. He touches her to see if she has the correct physical response ("You have a woman's body now"). Nothing at all like the twins.
    Anyway, that's just my two penneth, what do I know?
    Lost or Doctor Who next, if you haven't seen them!

    Welcome to Game of Thrones! Us "GoT Watchers" or "Thronies" just love when someone new starts the show. Believe me, incest is just the tip of the iceberg on this show. This show is completely uninhibited in that regard. Good luck!

    It's a good show, takes a few seasons to gain some momentum, character development and all that but once it gains momentum things get pretty crazy, cool story with tons of great characters, (no spoilers) enjoy the ride.

    A note on the incest in a song of ice and fire (asoiaf). So Targaryens wed brother and sister for centuries in order to keep the bloodline pure and ensure their genes remained strong (gross I know!) but in asoiaf, incest does not have the same physical ramifications that it would have in our modern world.
    We don't even know if all of this takes place on earth, so there is that factor as well. But practicing incest does not cause physical deformities for Targaryens as they are sort of above men in a sense "closer to gods than they are to men." They come from the ancient Valyria, with different languages, cultures, customs, gods etc so you can view them as a different species. They're renowned for their silver hair and purple eyes and "dragons blood." When Viserys talks about waking the dragon, he's not referring to a physical dragon, rather to their blood and pure Targaryen rage that can be as flammable and dangerous as a dragon.
    Viserys and Daenarys are both products of sibling incest (The murdered mad king and his sister queen). In fact, Daenerys was expecting to wed Viserys, that's what she grew up believing, and that's a practice their family engaged in for 300 + years, although she's instead married to Khal Drogo for his army. Had the mad king lived, Targaryen dynasty would have continued and Dany and Viserys would most definitely be wed to continue the pure Valyrian bloodline. As they both had an older brother (dead) he'd probably have married into another family for alliance reasons. (You'll see more of this backstory as the show goes on.)
    If anything, Targaryen incest can result in mental disturbances such as a predisposition to madness, but Targs are known for being inhumanely beautiful (you'd think it'd be the opposite!), so they don't suffer 'Hasburg jaw."
    Throughout history, incest was practiced in the Middle Ages (which is where asoiaf loosely takes place), although definitely not between siblings. Cousin marriage was a normal thing and considered acceptable. In the asoiaf world, everyone but the Targaryens find all the inbreeding pretty strange and unholy, but the targs dont really care. Other families in Westeros marry cousin to cousin (though not all the time), for example ned starks parents were cousins, same with the Lannister siblings, so you sort of have to become akin with that...
    Jaime and Cersei having a relationship however? That is considered a true sin and would be disgusting to every noble person in Westeros. It would not be accepted and the general audience is meant to dislike them as a romantic pairing. When you read the books you understand them on a deeper level and why they engage in such relations, both are really well written, complex characters. But essentially, if you're not a Targaryen, you cannot get away with having sex with your sibling, ESPECIALLY if you're the queen because that is also adultery, hence why Bran seeing them is a massive deal and they had to silence him.
    I do suggest you to check out the histories and lore videos after each season, they really help with understanding all the dialogue that is easy to miss! It's difficult watching this for the first time as you're trying to figure out who is who, where is where, what happened then, why does he hate this family etc etc but that's also what makes it enjoyable because you work things out based on your own assumptions and theories and see if they culminate :) enjoy the ride, I've seen this show a few times over and am reading the books so I'm always invested in asoiaf lore. It's always fun seeing people immerse themselves into the world for the first time! (I apologise for the really long comment hahah but I hope this helped with understanding the customs and society?)

    Yay newbie A lil advice for watching this insanity lol....
    This show is not like any other show.. you'll understand when you fully get in it...
    The dialog is the most important thing. Every word, every scene, even if it seems unimportant, it is. Every historical story told within the story is important.. even the music in scenes plays a role... .things in early seasons will come into play in later seasons.... all your questions will be answered...
    Welcome to the Fandom, we thronies are sadist waiting to watch newbies go thru the horror and pain we all had to feel watching this. You have no idea what you are in for.. we will definitely guide you through in comments to help.. And dont google anything about this show, you will get spoiled on things you will regret being spoiled on.. good luck MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD.. We thronies will let you know when you become a MAN OF WINTER
    And the intro map will show where you will be in each episode so it will change and add new places over time
    Its not mark walburg lol or matt damon..

    I enjoyed your reaction but would like to make a couple of suggestions:
    1. Please don't try to write down notes during the first viewing - you'll miss too much. Sometimes little one sentence statements by a character are very important. (Example: 3 times they mentioned Queen Cersei and Jamie are twins but you never seemed to notice.) Save doing notes for when you are editing.
    2. Maybe don't speak as much. You miss a lot then to. Just as a way to let you know, I timed you through a long portion of the show between statements or questions and you typically went no more than 3 seconds without speaking again. Your longest was 11 seconds. So you might want to curtail that. I understand that it was probably nerves over it being your first upload, but you don't want to set up a habit, either.
    I hope you aren't offended. I made these to be constructive. I think your first time out was overall excellent and you'll REALLY get into this show!! Thanks! - Diana ❤

      No offense taken at all! I was trying my best to not be “boring.” But I understand that there’s a fine balance, but I appreciate the feedback, and I’ll do my best moving forward! I’ve already filmed the 2nd episode reaction, and I think I did better with not talking as much, still did talk when I felt like I should tho 😋
      And yeah I did pick up on that Jamie and the queen were siblings but the twins part did go unnoticed, so thank you!

    Great video/audio quality for your first reaction! 👍 My only request would be not to overload yourself by reacting to too many shows at the same time. There are some reactors who are taking on too many shows, and then it's weeks between each episode. I think a good gap between each reaction for each show would be 1 week. You can also do 2 or 3 episodes per week, if you prefer, or you could do a double-episode per week, but it's not really needed. 1 episode per week is perfectly fine. Probably 1 episode every 2 weeks would be ok, as well, but I wouldn't recommend a much longer gap than that, otherwise you might lose audience due to lack of patience.
    I'm sure there will be many recommendations from various people for other shows you could react to. There is a high number of really good shows out there. But it would help making good recommendations if you could say which genres you like, and maybe which shows you've already watched in the past and loved.

    It's a fantasy show, but nearly all the characters are suspicious of magic and the supernatural, or just don't believe in them. And its more of a political show - so these two things keep it very grounded.

    The 100, a good one for some suspense with story telling.
    The Good Place, good for a feel good story with a bunch of laughs.

  • @philiphoy1373
    @philiphoy1373 4 місяці тому

    Good reaction and editing. One thing you'll notice about the opening credits is the locations coming up from the map changes over time. Basically the opening credits show the main map locations where that episode takes place. Things I loved about the series is the writing is excellent with very interesting characters, and despite being fantasy, it often just feels more medieval than fantasy and shows the brutality of those times. It is an excellent series.
    Assuming you haven't seen it, I'd recommend reacting to Orphan Black. It's a Canadian produced sci-fi set in Toronto, but it's a science sci-fi rather than a space/aliens sci-fi. It was picked up by Space in Canada, but also BBC America as well, which allowed for a better production budget. By end of season 2 it had been picked up in over 100 countries. There's five seasons totalling 50 episodes. Tatiana Maslany won best actress in a drama series all five seasons at the Canadian Screen Awards, plus Critics Choice, Peoples Choice, Golden Globe, and Emmy nominations in the US. She was the first Canadian actor to win an Emmy for a Canadian produced series. If you like original and different, with a dash of weird, I think you'd enjoy it. It's among my favorite series and re-watch it almost every year. I've seen several females react to it but only one male. I suppose because it's mostly female main characters. But I really like different/weird and original and Orphan Black is definitely that. From the opening scene I knew I'd give it three episodes to hook me, but I was hooked by the end of that first episode. It sets up a lot of questions.
