A little side note: when male actors are in the buff, they usually wear a modesty sock over their manhood. But when Momoa approached Emilia Clarke in the buff, he instead wore a fuzzy pink sock puppet and Clarke had to try hard to contain herself from laughing in this rather serious scene.
Ned's youngest daughter is called Arya (pronounced like Aria). Also, did you notice how Bran woke up right when a direwolf was killed? fun fact, the actress, sophie turner, who plays Sansa stark actually kept her "direwolf" in real life and raised it as her own until Zunni unfortunately passed away a few years ago
@@georgial6398 it is the same as aria (Arya), it's just a different accent, in GoT similar to Britain the just pronounce it with a very short, soft "R" where as Americans pronounce the "R" very drawn out and hard
I got 3 suggestions for reacting to GoT (pardon the TL:DR) : 1) You'll need commitment : Fair warning, this is gonna be a really painful slowburn (which also I guess, is the enigma of the show). There isn't too much instant gratification, not too many 'punch in the air' climax moments. People often start watching GoT & quit cause they think it's gonna be a TV version of a 300 type blood & gore movie. Yes there is war & lotta violence, but the main focus is on the psychological intrigue. If you're not into historical fiction, political drama (think medieval House of Cards) & don't have the attention span for long-term storytelling, then this probably ain't the show. 2) Try not to binge : The scope & ambition of this story is huge. You're dealing with multiple kingdoms, many families, hundreds of characters, with a ton of backstories, all woven into a rich narrative. So it's best to digest it slowly. I know people who ran through the entire show & missed 60% of the underlying things. There's a shit ton of metaphors, hints, callbacks, all that symbolism stuff. A big part of the GoT experience is speculating on & trying to connect the dots. So give it a little time between each episode or you'll forget who's related to who & who did what. 3) Moderate your expectation: You're probably aware that most people hated how the show ended. There's a lot of controversy over the last few seasons & you're gonna get those comments discouraging you from watching. My opinion is simple: watch it yourself & form your own opinion. Even if you're disappointed at the end, you're probably still gonna go through a pretty memorable ride (I mean people forget nowdays, but it is the most watched drama series of all time for a reason). It's the journey that counts. The GoT fandom can sometimes be pretty obnoxious & there's a lot of book purists who'll watch just to nitpick & criticize everything. While a certain understanding of the background stuff is necessary & comments are helpful for that, don't get too much into this wormhole of comments about the past, the backstories, the theories, debates on the book arcs, etc. You're meant to find those out yourself as the story unfolds or it'll ruin the fun of watching the show.
Another suggestion, try to have the show volume and reaction mic volume the same level. The reaction mic is either really loud or the show volume is really low. Have fun!
It is not only direwolves become very large and therefore grow pretty fast in comparison to normal wolves/dogs, but also quite some time passed over the first 1-2 episodes and will throughout the first season! It is already roughly 4 months since the series started; the prologue happened, weeks until the ranger travelled south and got caught, thats also when they found the wolves, then Jon Arryn died in the capital, 1-2 months until they travelled north to Winterfell, they now stayed around a month cause Bran „fell“ and right in the ending, they are already half way back to the capital, so again almost a month!
it becomes more and more a problem as the series progresses. There is no timekeeping for the audience aside from, "Winter is Coming." Then the writers gave up any pretext and started teleporting folks all over the world.
@@AceMoonshot I‘m arguing on how time progresses in the books over these early events... the show makes it almost impossible to count time, especially with the child actors growing up pretty fast cause they are too older then their characters And then again, it gets very hard to measure the amount of time that passed in later books, only wikis by die hard fans who put a large amount of time into it make that possible, cause GRRM didn‘t write the chapters in a specific chronological order, especially the books 4 and 5
I was going to add this comment lol all those other shows are going to out the window. it happens to all reactors and its odds on going to happen to hear haha
about samsa: she was educated in diplomacy, in that sense she could not tell the kings that her son (and future husband) was a liar and coward. she did what she was taught all her life, to be courteous and kind, as well as to keep quiet about what she knew. in the books, little by little we get into her head and we understand that even if she doesn't talk much, and seems silly, she thinks a lot and measures her words and actions. About Bram: he has a dream about this on the books "He looked south, and saw the great blue-green rush of the Trident. He saw his father pleading with the king, his face etched with grief. He saw Sansa crying herself to sleep at night, and he saw Arya watching in silence and holding her secrets hard in her heart. There were shadows all around them. One shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood. He lifted his eyes and saw clear across the narrow sea, to the Free Cities and the green Dothraki sea and beyond..."
Use subtitles, it'll help with names, places, events, and motivations. Remember, if you want to talk you can always pause the action. In this show missed dialogue leads to confusion later. Pay attention to the opening credits, they'll tell you where in Westeros the episodes focus will be.
If Sansa told the truth, it could've brought about a divide between both families and might've ruined the marriage proposal between her and Joffery, which is needed. It might not seem like it, but what Sansa did was smart.
Politically smart! It always drives me crazy that nobody can emphatize with her being in that damn situation to either screw your family or your future husband and family... either way, she has to face the consequences! And that’s not even taking into account the feudal system... where she stands in front of her lord (father) and her king (future father-in-law)
Yes, I remember being really annoyed with Sansa too when I was first watching this. But on rewatching, and especially reading comments from people with more insights and other perspectives than me, I got it.
3:26 I mean it seems his type of discipline works, at least in this case 12:10 ha you get it 12:58 awe you get it "Whipped" lol 13:17 he's too embarrassed to be looked at or doted on after that kind of defeat 13:56 ohh that blinking...didnt notice it before Adds to the conversation next episode 14:30 went neutral 15:30 dang

Love the fact you’re only 2 episodes in and already enthusiastic. I was a fan from the first episode you have got a journey to go and I can’t wait to see your reactions. I’ve seen this show countless times now I know it off by heart to an extent
Have you noticed that the actor who played Ned Stark also played Boromir in the lord of the rings he’s older but it’s the same actor his name is Sean bean
I don’t know when, but I will bet that one day the, once a week pledge, will change. I don’t know what season this will happen but I bet it will happen.
Horse meat is quite common outside the anglo-saxon world, got several local specialities based on horse meat here in Belgium, and every supermarket will have horse steak on the shelves.
Aye bro I didn't realise your doing this series, absolutely awesome. Little tip the title crawl shows the important places of the episode, but will mostly always include places like winterfell and kings landing because they're so important, without giving anything away.
I was never interested in history but I gained a lot from my english lit classes as a teen and from books such as Jane Austen I understood that it really was "different times." Society had different rules, customs and expectations especially for women. Women had to be careful not to speak out of turn and reputation was everything. I think Cat was being cautious about not mentioning the hair....she has her suspicions but she is wise to keep it to herself. Her words can start rumours and that can start a war. These were much more brutal times as you can see :))
The Dire Wolves don't get as big as a horse! (Don't know where you got that.) They could almost grow about double the size of a normal wolf or a pony. And like Catelyn said: "They grow fast!"
I can't wait till I get to your later reactions and see your reactions to the White Walkers. With how much your theorising about them and thinking of what could happen I know you will love it!
May actually become a Patreon for this series. There is so much in each episode so I can only imagine all the stuff you have to cut out for UA-cam. I'm so excited to rewatch this with you guys! :)
In the books the wolves are supposed to be about 3 times the size of a normal wolf, but in the show they don't get as big as horses, more like a chest height. Like maybe more the size of a mule
Just watched both your episodes back to back for GOT... I'm super excited I love this show . . . Glad you all are finally watching! No spoilers from me, its epic! Lot of it is referencing real historical families, feuds and events even
When King Robert Baratheon says he wants to "kill every Targaryen he cane get my hands on", he is overlooking the fact they are his cousins, that he himself has Targaryen blood. His Grandmother was Rhaella Targaryen, who married Onmund Baratheon. Plus, Orys Baratheon, founder of House Baratheon was half brother to Aegon the Conqueror Targaryen.
Yay so glad you're back and you have your girlfriend with you as well. I hope you guys really get into this show. There is a LOT of stuff to remember, but honestly it's totally worth it. It calms down after the first episode? Hmm lmao! Happy watching guys 😂
Sorry we can’t moderate but hopefully the chat stays as spoiler free as possible this shows loaded with good writing hopefully you guys enjoy the emotional roller coaster, it has its ups and downs truly. Also it’s pronounced Are-yah. Like the letter R then Ya.
Yay, so happy that you are both watching this series ! Brace yourselves, a lot of crazy stuff will happen. Oh and btw, in addition to the credits which show you the locations in the episode, you can check those spoiler free maps which indicate where the characters are as the story progresses : quartermaester.info/ - viewers-guide.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/season-1/episode-2/map/location/27/kings-landing
I used to look at a similar map, that showed all the character paths, and tons of other stuff, up to a point in the show or books that you select. But you have to be careful to have it set at the right point, I had a major thing spoiled for me accidentally, at the end of S5.
A little bit of acting that is never mentioned but I love is how Sean Bean portrayed his own disgust of having to kill Lady. He seems sick to the point of vomitting.
I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned that the actor that plays Ned Stark played Boromir in Lord of the Rings. I hope you start reacting to at least 2 episodes per week. You might want to try the tv show Timeless. It was only 2 seasons and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it
GRRM is notoriously bad at planning ages, as well as dimensions and amounts. He wrote the ages planning for a time skip in later books that he didn't make happen. I think the show ages are more realistic (for people to become warriors, parents, leaders, etc).
Yesss episode 2 and with your gf i'm so excited for both your reactions to the rest of the show! I really hope you don't get any spoilers and i'm really glad you're understanding and picking up on stuff already
You may not realize that Sansa did the right thing. Ned is now Hand of the King, and if his daughter were to "testify" about Joffrey's horrible behavior, that could well put the king at odds with Ned. And it might even have put Ned and Arya in danger. If anyone should be blamed for the death of the wolf, it was Cersei. The king was being reasonable about the whole matter, but Cersei wanted vengeance for someone hurting her son. If Sansa told the real truth, who's throat do you imagine she would have cut then?
The people of the GoT world think of dragons in the same way we think of dinosaurs: they have the bones, so they know they existed at some point, but they're long extinct. Similarly, most think of White Walkers and wights the way we think of vampires and zombies: just scary fiction and nothing more.
It is going to be so much fun watching you BOTH react to the legend GOT. 😁 Welcome to the Family of Fans! Lol. BTW, the Dire Wolf was a real animal up until the last ice age ~10,000 years ago. They say they lived on Earth for over 1 million years!! And their reason for extinction is still unknown. They are not actually as big as a horse I guess but they were still fearsome creatures able to survive alongside Sabertooth Tigers! With teeth that could crush bones and a jaw with 1,900 pounds of pressure per every square inch! Very interesting to research!! *Everyone please remember if you're tempted to "have one of your own," it's your responsibility to be as honorable, honest, loyal and practical as the Starks of Winterfell. Dire wolf "lookalike" breeds like Huskies, Inuit mix, Malamutes are high-maintenance with very particular physical, environmental and emotional needs. Be Real with yourself and find out if their ideal lifestyle can mesh with your own. Please be respectful to all living creatures. 💖🐺💗 "Having possession over something... doesn't mean you are Worthy of such possession..." ~ something I feel Ned Stark would say.. 😋 ☮
Something I appreciate about this episode is the look that Arya has set upon Cersei after she gives the order to have Lady killed instead of Nymeria. Sansa is crying and cowering while Arya looks like she wants to KILL Cersei right then and there. The dynamics between the Stark children are very well written. Jon foils Rob very well as Sansa foils Arya.

I used to look at a similar map, that showed all the character paths, and tons of other stuff, up to a point in the show or books that you select. But you have to be careful to have it set at the right point, I had a major thing spoiled for me accidentally, at the end of S5.
A little bit of acting that is never mentioned but I love is how Sean Bean portrayed his own disgust of having to kill Lady. He seems sick to the point of vomitting.
Happy to see the number of subscribers is getting back to where it once was. And great editing as always. Excited for this adventure!
Joffrey played a little child in Batman Begins who Batman gave a Batarang to.
Sansa didn't say anything because she wants to be a princess and then a queen someday so she cannot betray Joffrey even for her own sister.
I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned that the actor that plays Ned Stark played Boromir in Lord of the Rings. I hope you start reacting to at least 2 episodes per week. You might want to try the tv show Timeless. It was only 2 seasons and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it
I can’t wait for some parts to come full circle
this was the best show on tv hands down
So glad you’re watching it together, excited for it
fun fact
Daenerys in the books is actually 13 years old
GRRM is notoriously bad at planning ages, as well as dimensions and amounts. He wrote the ages planning for a time skip in later books that he didn't make happen. I think the show ages are more realistic (for people to become warriors, parents, leaders, etc).
rewatching this is making me pick up on so many things i missed the first time lol
Oh, my sweet summer children. This is just the beginning of your anger.
Welcome to the club.
You’re gonna hate/love it equally.
Just wait!
9:30 Haha he gets his wolf pay-off already fuck yeah man! I like how hyped you are for the wolves.
YES Direwolves get to be as large as horses...fkn HUGE
Dang, I finished this show last year. It's crazy that this was only the second episode, and so much was already popping off.
This episode, man. It's a big fantasy show, but the human drama/behavior is on point.
I’m so excited to re-watch this series with y’all, it gets SO fucking crazy 💀
Just wait until season two, when you get even more new characters introduced into the show
this comment has no purpose at all.. its not really a spoiler, but not something they would want to know either. no offence
Waiting for this all week, love that you’re reacting to this
16:00 Man that ending scene killed me with the wolf when I watched it.
Yesss episode 2 and with your gf i'm so excited for both your reactions to the rest of the show! I really hope you don't get any spoilers and i'm really glad you're understanding and picking up on stuff already
seriously first 6 seasons were better and above than breaking bad it was sooo good many people fight with eachother because of spoiler
You may not realize that Sansa did the right thing. Ned is now Hand of the King, and if his daughter were to "testify" about Joffrey's horrible behavior, that could well put the king at odds with Ned. And it might even have put Ned and Arya in danger. If anyone should be blamed for the death of the wolf, it was Cersei. The king was being reasonable about the whole matter, but Cersei wanted vengeance for someone hurting her son. If Sansa told the real truth, who's throat do you imagine she would have cut then?
Oh my fucking god it’s insane to think that you have no idea what’s going to happen, you guys are in for something truly special, enjoy!!
17:10 Yeah I loved that scene and like you said I bet it meant alot to John.
The people of the GoT world think of dragons in the same way we think of dinosaurs: they have the bones, so they know they existed at some point, but they're long extinct. Similarly, most think of White Walkers and wights the way we think of vampires and zombies: just scary fiction and nothing more.
It is going to be so much fun watching you BOTH react to the legend GOT. 😁 Welcome to the Family of Fans! Lol. BTW, the Dire Wolf was a real animal up until the last ice age ~10,000 years ago. They say they lived on Earth for over 1 million years!! And their reason for extinction is still unknown. They are not actually as big as a horse I guess but they were still fearsome creatures able to survive alongside Sabertooth Tigers! With teeth that could crush bones and a jaw with 1,900 pounds of pressure per every square inch!
Very interesting to research!!
*Everyone please remember if you're tempted to "have one of your own," it's your responsibility to be as honorable, honest, loyal and practical as the Starks of Winterfell. Dire wolf "lookalike" breeds like Huskies, Inuit mix, Malamutes are high-maintenance with very particular physical, environmental and emotional needs. Be Real with yourself and find out if their ideal lifestyle can mesh with your own. Please be respectful to all living creatures. 💖🐺💗
"Having possession over something... doesn't mean you are Worthy of such possession..."
~ something I feel Ned Stark would say.. 😋 ☮
they're direwolves they grow faster and are much larger than than regular wolves.
9:48 they were never wolves thats what everyone says but its wrong
Maybe to help to remember character's names make a family tree with the houses.
I am so excited to watch you guys watch this!!! You’re so into it already!!
8:24 Power is power
I'll say this again just in case. Look up a map mate. It will be helpful :)
It’s exactly why we don’t ever skip the main title either. Other than it being the best opener ever
@@17cjavy Absolutely correct
my favorites were for sure Ned, Jon and Tyrion they are really cool :)
You are gonna love the show, and you are gonna thank yourself for those notes. They will come in handy ;) Enjoy the ride bud!
i'm so happy she's here!! hopefully both of u guys continue to react the show together 😊😊💛
Something I appreciate about this episode is the look that Arya has set upon Cersei after she gives the order to have Lady killed instead of Nymeria. Sansa is crying and cowering while Arya looks like she wants to KILL Cersei right then and there. The dynamics between the Stark children are very well written. Jon foils Rob very well as Sansa foils Arya.
