      eddiewinehosen i dont think you understand how great of an archer ramsay is, When they killed Tandy she was zig zagging through a whole ass forest and they managed to shoot an arrow through her calf to immobilize her, he is one of the Best archers around, Rickon was dead either way.

      Yea and god only knows what Ramsey did to him psychologically while he had him. If we didn’t see how he broke down Theon and we just saw Theon act to his disadvantage, we wouldn’t understand why he behaved like that either. So idk to me it was believable that this unfortunate lack in judgement might happen with that kid :( it was set up that way on purpose.

    • @blahblahooooooooblah
      @blahblahooooooooblah 8 років тому +33

      That's the same thing I was thinking. Also, Jon may not have trusted Littlefinger - Bearish himself has told people not to trust him -- that was one of Eddard's mistakes. Of course, I'm glad she did it, and she probably really didn't have a choice considering if she lost, she wasn't going to be taken alive. But Littlefinger's assistance may come with strings attached - if she had of told Jon he probably would have been against the Vale joining in - as a big brother he wouldn't have trusted Baelish's agenda towards Sansa. Perhaps. Either way, I'm glad she did it because they were almost goners!

    • @blahblahooooooooblah
      @blahblahooooooooblah 8 років тому +8

      ***** She smiled for the same reason all of us smiled - Ramsay got his comeuppance! If anyone would appreciate the gravity of that, it would Sansa and Theon. LF will never deliver Sansa to Cersei especially considering the position the Lannister are in right now, it just isn't smart strategically to side with the falling House - and the Lannisters and definitely falling. I agree that Sansa has developed from the person she once was (that can be said for all of the characters that are still alive from Season 1 with the shit they've seen and experienced) but I wouldn't necessarily say that brutality is her best friend now. Ramsay needed to die, that's just a fact - his death was deserving. It's too soon to even say whether or not she is "brutal" though. I do agree with your take on LF though - his titles do seem to breed more titles lol. I don't think he'll live out the series though.

    Final argument for why Rickon didn't zigzag. He's a kid, and when you're running away from someone with a ranged weapon, running straight away gets you as far away as possible, where zigzagging would take twice as long to cover that distance

    One of my favourite things was that image of Jon standing in front of the line of charging horses. I'm even more impressed by the fact that it wasn't CGI and was actually Kit standing there with a line of 40 horses racing towards him and just hoping they stopped like they were supposed to.
    This whole episode was so impressive when it came to the visuals. I loved the wide shots where you see the massive landscapes with the characters small in the distance. Sansa riding away from the meeting before the fight, Davos standing in the sunrise/sunset by the old pyre. It was both beautiful and gruesome.

  • @Jay-zl6jm
    @Jay-zl6jm 8 років тому +61

    Eric and Melanie, please, and one book lover to the next, can you please clarify that Jon wanted (in the books) to battle Ramsay because he thought Arya was there? The show has stripped Jon and Arya's relationship to the bone, so there is hardly anything left; it's so important to Jon's storyline that it was Arya he was going to save. He was tested three times in his vows: the first for his father, the second for Robb - he held off both those times, and stayed true to the Night's Watch. But he broke his vows for Arya specifically because of how much he loves her.

  • @LightRoll789
    @LightRoll789 8 років тому +61

    The part in the episode where Jon is climbing out of the pit of bodies is very symbolic to me. I think that WAS his rebirth where he himself decided that he wanted to live. This was also amplified by the aerial shot of him being held up by the wildlings, just like Dany was held up in the Mhysa episode

    I suspect that the reason Sansa didn't say anything sooner was because she hadn't actually heard back from Littlefinger yet - just sent her letter. So she wouldn't want Jon to sit around waiting and hoping for an army that might never come (especially given what she said to Littlefinger the last time they spoke). I'm hoping they have a line or two clarifying that next week.

      Ah yeah, you're right. Funny because I JUST checked and Thoros definitely used wildfire before, but I believe he might have gained the power to do it with magic after both he regained his faith in R'hllor and Dany's dragons strengthened the power of magic in the world. I suppose he is the one who taught Beric then. It makes sense since the most prominent kind of magic in the series is blood magic.

    @joekerr9197 8 років тому +3

    The reason why Sansa didn't tell Jon about Vale and Littlefinger is because he didn't listen to her and she knew what Ramsay would do and that Jon would fall for it. The whole thing with Jon and Rickon was to draw him out. Jon basically abandoned his entire tactic and just went in blindly against superior force...he basically fcked up. Sansa knew this is going to go down like that. She knew Ramsay will kill Rickon no matter what (she told Jon before the battle) and that if Ramsay was faced against superior number he would fortify himself inside Winterfell...so she let Jon fall for Ramsay's trap so she could play her thing and make Ramsay fall for her trap. Sansa won that battle, not Jon.

  • @Isabel-yg9mt
    @Isabel-yg9mt 8 років тому +41

    A lot of people are frustrated that Rickon didn`t zigzag, but:
    1. He is a kid who is desperate and afraid. He knew now who Ramsay was and what he can do. A lot of people who are afraid and in desperate situations, can make irrational decisions and they will do anything to survive and get away from danger. He saw Jon, he wanted to get to Jon as fast as he could, and ran right for him.
    2. Ramsay was damn good with that bow. He had experience in hunting both humans and animals, so he would probably have hit him anyway.
    3. This is tv..:-) There`s dragons and magic and white walkers. Not everything is going to be true to life:-)
    Anyway..great reaction-video as always, love you guys!:-) Incredible episode!

  • @ebbaynes
    @ebbaynes 8 років тому +45

    Sansa was right not to tell. She doesn't fully trust Little finger and she she knows her brother is highly emotional. Those two elements alone would make her hesitate giving out her plan B. And if Jon had listened to her about the Bolton trap, then so many men wouldn't have died. Their original battle plan was to draw Ramsey to them so that they could use the trenches. Jon blew the plan and got his men killed by going on the offensive. It is highly probable that Little Finger would have waited until the last minute anyway. How sucky would it have been for Jon to expect Little Finger and be waiting.... only to find out they'd been quasi double crossed. It also matters if she's carrying Bolton's child. If she gives birth to a Bolton, the North might not want her to rule. Yes, the kid's father is dead, but primogeniture is a big deal to these people.

    Just another Baelish plan. Remember what he said to Cersei: "Let the enemies of the Throne slaughter each other and when they're done, seize Winterfell from whichever thief survives." Come on ya'll think about it. It's Baelish being Baelish. Originally he may have thought it would be Roose vs. Stannis - but the plan only slightly turned when it became Ramsay vs. Jon.
    Either way, he also said "that is why it is critical to strike while the victor still licks his wounds" - the Starks may have just retaken Winterfell/survived the battle, and that's awesome :) :), but they have also lost all of their fighting men - and now almost certainly depend on Littlefinger's "good will" for defense now. Baelish took his sweet time replying to Sansa's letter, and getting to the North because he knew the odds of Jon's army being slaughtered, Ramsey losing many men fighting Jon (so as to not leave a huge army for the Vale to have to put down - thus lowering the risk of his own men dying), and him looking like the savior rushing in with thousands of men. It's all power play. Which is why I kind of think Sansa was holding off on telling Jon she was asking him for the reinforcements - because she didn't know what that would entail.Being beholden or indebted to Littlefinger is the last place anyone wants to be ... just ask Ned Stark lol.
    Whether or not they know it, LF kind of owns the North now. I don't believe he'll hand Sansa over to Cersei - but if you all think his help came without strings attached - you're fools. He's been doing sneaky shit like this since he told Lysa to poison Jon Arryn, and to write a letter to Catelyn saying it was the Lannisters! A man like Baelish only thrives in chaos, wherever he goes, chaos is sure to follow. I just hope Sansa understands this and is using him to her benefit - and doesn't let him get too much control ( I think she may end up killing him). Lord of Harrenhal, Master of Coin, Lord Paramount of the Trident, Lord Protector of the Eyrie and the Vale of Arryn...and Warden of the North???
    "Titles do seem to breed titles." -Baelish himself.

    I think the reason why Rickon ddnt run zig zag is because, first; he is a kid and he was terrified and when kids get terrified they are unable to make sensible decisions quickly. he aint Jon or Sansa to think tactically. Anyway Ramsay would have killed him even if he ran zig and zag. Sansa had aptly predicted Rickon demise because he is one of the true born sons of THE Ned Stark.

    Few things about Rickon's run, What I see is those burning flayed men were range indicators for the archers. And Ramsey deliberately missed to force Jon into range for the volley to start the battle.
    I also think Jon almost let himself die twice. First with the cavalry charge, he looked at them with defeat in his eyes, and then stood for his last stand. And then with the crush, he could have easily just let himself die. But he fought to stay alive.
    This is Jon's moment, he finally accepted he died, and came back for a reason. And that was to stop the white walkers.
