When author R.R.Martin discussed selling the rights to HBO, there's the story he told showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss over dinner: OK, I'll sell it, if you tell me it's Jon Snow's mother.
We need to talk about y'alls reactions to the Jon Snow reveal.... It was amazing! I laughed so much at y'all and what's really interesting is y'all actually got it when a lot of people didn't. This was a blast. I really enjoyed y'alls reactions and commentary.
@@animeloverz67 Ned couldn't risk her blurting it out, it would have meant Jon's death. I feel sorry for both Ned and Catelyn, but I think Ned was right.
That video is good, but there's better ones out there, like Alt Shift X's video on it. Only problem is spoilers because he goes really deep into the histories and there might be some minor spoilers for both HotD as well as the last few GoT seasons.
@@domenicgalata1470 I love that channel so much and I'm a little biased towards it just because of how well he explains everything and how thorough those videos are. He can turn a skeptic into a believer with certain theories lol. He also helps people who might not understand certain aspects of the story to have a better grasp on everything. They're so detailed. The R+L=J video that all the reactors watch is great too, though.
This is meant only as theory crafting, not as a spoiler as to what may or may not have happened. At this point in the series, I low-key wanted the white walkers to succeed. I wanted an apocalypse to show how all the petty fights over power, and a chair, led to their destruction because not enough of them took the real threat seriously. The night king sitting on the throne in a frozen world was such a satisfying thought, lol.
"I have never been more pumped going into the next season"....Id lower those expectations by a few thousand percent. An she askes a great question. "I dont know how they are gonna wrap up in two seasons every single character"....yeah about that....
Ned sacrificed his honor to save his beloved sister's child from Robert's wrath. Because she made him promise. He called Jon his own, and claimed his as a Snow, staining his honor, to protect him. Also, think about Barristan's descriptions of Rhaegar. Good hearted, kind, liked singing, didn't like killing. not the attributes of a kidnapper and rapist.
I honestly love you all ever since breaking bad series. This game of thrones journey with you so far has been AMAZING and I got to see a new member of the team both adult and baby but also amazing content. Thank you.
Not sure if this was already mentioned, but Arya's revenge on Walder Frey was some good payoff--remember back when Bran told the story of the Rat King right before he met Sam and Gilly..
Go back and watch the pilot episode, and the second one, with the scenes of Ned and Robert in the crypt, the goodbye scene with Ned and Jon and the scene of Ned and Robert having lunch in the fields. 😮
Arya didn't necessarily kill the girl whose face she was wearing. She could have taken it from the House of Black and White, or come across a dead or dying girl on her journey. She kills people on her list, or in self-defence, but we've not seen her kill purely for gain I don't think, she has a moral code.
Maester Eamon, who was in Castle Black with John, is the elder brother of John's great-grandfather, Daenerys is John's aunt. John is the last male Targaryen.
Thank you for immediately understanding R+L=J Also watch that video if you havent, it explores all the clues about who Jon's parents were throughout the shouw.
This is my favourite episode, and I loved your reaction, especially to the Jon reveal! One of the best reactions to that I've seen. I'm also a huge fan of "Felina", the Breaking Bad finale, so it's nice to see it getting some love too! (Mr Robot had a great finale as well.) Thanks so much.
It’s really no secret that George RR Martin’s books only go to season 5, but what’s lost on most is he oversaw the story from there on out. Do people really think he would write a colossal book series only to have someone else write the ending? It was his story and it was told.
This secret had very subtle clues throughout the books and George RR Martin only allowed them to adapt his books into this series because they correctly answered the question “who is Jon’s mother.”
I love this episode because it proved me right. I knew Ned didn't cheat on his wife. He rather his wife think that then betray his sister promise. He loved Jon and protected him. Ned was truly a great man, father, and knight. And now us knowing he is half Stark and half Targaryen. Loved seeing your reaction to this huge reveal.
Martin did give a basic outline of the storylines, so I would say that he did give this information to D&D. Them guessing the parentage of Jon is why he was okay with them doing the show.
What a great reaction to season 6 finale!! Oh pleeease do R+L=J before the start of season 7 🙂.. the knowledge of Jon´s parents is still fresh, and the shit show has not started yet.
starks on top she said.. they definitely deserve to lose.. Dany has the rightful claim to the throne, her dad was king and her family has sit on the throne for 300 years.. baratheon, stark, lannister all worked together to usurpe the throne… no matter how anyone tries to distract from it.. the simple truth is Dany should be queen because Jon doesnt want it “just like Aemon”.. and those 3 families should be all but slaughtered for attemping to usurpe the throne.. a very simple thing everyone there instantly knows, it is automatic, same as u knowing a simple yes/no question instantly
Please don't. Don't let an unofficial GoT video take anything away from what may or may not be confirmed in the series anyway. There is literally no point in watching these videos beforehand, other than to spoil you for what may or may not be coming.
"Legally" he doesn't have any claim to the throne as an "unclaimed bastard." (Not that that means much in Westeros, since what is legal is very subjective.) But technically, the Baratheon brothers had a better claim as legitimate Targ descendents through their grandmother than Jon has as an illegitimate son. Unless someone - usually has to be a ruling monarch - officially legitimizes him. Then he can enter the line of succession and would have a strong claim - even with Robert's right of conquest because Jon now would probably be Robert's closest living male relative (unless someone legitimizes Gendry. But you would still run into the issues that Jon was born to 2 parents of nobility and Gendry's mother was...not. Jon was educated with a Lord's family. And Gendry was...not. While that matters less in today's world, it would likely matter to these classist lords. Especially since, unlike Jon, Gendry doesn't seem to have natural leadership skills that classist people with power would recognize and support.) That said, if anyone gathers enough support from enough powerful lords with powerful armies, they can toss the line of succession out the window and stick anyone on the throne. Or, like has happened in the past, the most powerful lords of Westeros can have a council to decide who they're going to put on the Throne. And Jon's parentage _could_ be brought either as an argument in favor of or against him. Like with anything, it depends on persuading enough people to support or oppose him.
@@jcompton8507 He does have a claim to the throne, from the show canon, we all watch the show and we all know how it ends, and we know everything that’s happened, but without spoiling it for some people that haven’t seen it if we’re talking TV cannon. Because Westeros has made it very clear they no longer want any more Targaryen‘s at this point they don’t want any more dragons, so he’s the only one that has a claim to the throne even though Daenerys has one by of her father, it is heavily rejected due to her being the daughter of a king who drove the kingdom into war and due to her gender. The whole kingdom knows who Jon Snow is, and since many in the realm, believe that he is to be the bastard son of Ned Stark they would pretty much rather take him as king. If we are talking book lore, then it should be Young Griff, and not Jon Snow.
It should be obvious to anybody who's been paying attention to the show since the beginning. I've seen reactors who don't pay close attention and think Ned was hooking up with his sister. I find that annoying because it's obvious those people can't retain information. These guys have been paying attention and figured it out without the other guy having to tell them first
I think the friend off camera actually did a great job keeping things spoiler free! They kind of spell it out by Lyanna begging Ned not to tell Robert because he’d kill her baby if he knew and that confirms that it’s not Robert’s and now we know it’s not Ned’s either so that just leaves one person. I think the reactors didn’t need help understanding that, they got there on their own.
It wasn't really a spoiler. They figured out on their own that Jon is a Targ. They just couldn't remember the details about who "kidnapped and raped" Lyanna.

I'm just glad none of them thought Ned boom boomed his sister.
That is one of the very best Jon reactions I've seen. So glad you guys are enjoying this.
18:19 Trin: “Wow, lots of big time jumps in this episode.” Oh, you sweet summer child.
also "i think the rest of the show is going to last a week and be really stretched out", lol. oh, the precious dears.
@@ashleyl3699 yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhh...about that...😬
11:01 Shout-out to whoever you have giving you non-spoiler clarifications 😂
Rhaeghar was the mad king's eldest son, so Danery's (and Visery's) elder brother. So Jon is Danery's nephew.
Rhaegar* and Daenerys^
How far we have come. From winching at a little blood, to cheering at a little girl slowly cut a guys neck.
Cheering? It almost blew out my speakers, lol!
When author R.R.Martin discussed selling the rights to HBO, there's the story he told showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss over dinner: OK, I'll sell it, if you tell me it's Jon Snow's mother.
The Interpretive dance to the Stark Anthem was a definite highlight, lmao.

Poor Ned had to lie to his wife all those years, and Jon had to grow up as the one she hated.
Hate that catelyn stark didnt found out
@@animeloverz67 Ned couldn't risk her blurting it out, it would have meant Jon's death. I feel sorry for both Ned and Catelyn, but I think Ned was right.
Rhaegar was the eldest son of the Mad King. He died in battle during Robert’s Rebellion, before Jon was born. So Jon is Dany’s nephew. 😮
"If you think this has a happy ending you have not been paying attention"
R+L=J please

1:54 I love how easy it is to recognize Varys by his outline and posture.
you guys are the ONLY reactors who recognized that theyre already near the coasts of Westeros.
in the first season when John asked Ned who his mother was. Ned said you might not have my name but you have my blood.
"I have never been more pumped going into the next season"....Id lower those expectations by a few thousand percent. An she askes a great question. "I dont know how they are gonna wrap up in two seasons every single character"....yeah about that....

Una de las pocas reacciones que VERDADERAMENTE tiene buenas reflexiones y predicciones. Me encantó.
17:34 - "I have never been so pumped going into the next season!".
Me: "Hold onto that feeling, bro...as long as you can.
For Arya reveal everyone moved like EVERYONE MOVED WHAT A MOMENT
best reaction to that scene I've ever seen
How are they going to satisfy us wrap it up in just 2 seasons?
VERY good question!!!
Arya killing wilder Frey is my favorite part of the episode and now you guys reaction took that to a next level 😭❤️
Epic!!!
I reacted the exact same way to Arya killing Walder Frey and to Jon’s reveal. So epic!
“The only one that knows is Raisin Bran” 😅😂😂
I honestly love you all ever since breaking bad series. This game of thrones journey with you so far has been AMAZING and I got to see a new member of the team both adult and baby but also amazing content. Thank you.

4:35 this reaction is EVERYTHING I ever dreamed it would be No one even cared about the gore or covered their eyes love it 😂❤❤❤
Best.
Reactions.
EVER!!!
Just so happy Luke and Bliss figured it out :)
That Arya face/off reaction made my entire day! ❤
R+L=J video? It will BLOW your mind all over again. 🤣
For sure!! Can’t wait
Go back and watch the pilot episode, and the second one, with the scenes of Ned and Robert in the crypt, the goodbye scene with Ned and Jon and the scene of Ned and Robert having lunch in the fields. 😮
I love how the man behind the camera trying so hard to not to tell the "real spoiler" 😅

And No rheagar isn’t the brother of the mad king he’s his son and Danery eldest brother
The Best Season Finale in Game of Thrones!!
Best episode
I’m obsessed with this friend group I love you guys hahahaha
Last two episodes of season 6 are hands down the best episodes in television history.
Maester Eamon, who was in Castle Black with John, is the elder brother of John's great-grandfather, Daenerys is John's aunt. John is the last male Targaryen.
The show made Maester Aemon the Mad King’s uncle. So he’s Rhaegar and Daenerys’ great uncle and Jon’s great great uncle.
This episode was soooooo good. One of my favorites of the series
What a treat that we got this so fast!
Favorite music of any episode..
4:38
A minute's silence for those who wear headphones. RIP🥀
Bliss almost crying at 9.00 because 🤯 is everything right there. It IS a huge reveal 🔥
Thank you for immediately understanding R+L=J
Also watch that video if you havent, it explores all the clues about who Jon's parents were throughout the shouw.

I love the way Arya kills the old Frey, the same way they kill her mother.
Ahora tenéis que ver el video de R+L=J: Who is Jon's Mother - ALL SHOW SCENES COMPILATION - GAME OF THRONES

Luke's brain is in hyperdrive
Winds of Winter 10/10
Would have been 11/10 if they added the cold open from s7e1 imo ;) but still chefs kiss 💋👌
Keep up the epic work🤩🤩🤩
They can’t really control or tame the dragons. It’s more a bonding thing.
If this is their hype now I can’t wait for future episodes
it is very hard to sit here and listen to them be so wrrong haha
Martin did give a basic outline of the storylines, so I would say that he did give this information to D&D. Them guessing the parentage of Jon is why he was okay with them doing the show.
The books end with the murder of Jon in season 5. Everything after season five is based on outlines Martin gave them and their own interpretations.
Non patiently waiting for the next reaction episode since we got bless with 3 today lmao
What a great reaction to season 6 finale!!
Oh pleeease do R+L=J before the start of season 7 🙂.. the knowledge of Jon´s parents is still fresh, and the shit show has not started yet.
R+L=J
Best reaction to that reveal, ever
Best reactions EVER!🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:38 one of the best reactions I’ve watched. 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
Please tell me that the next upload will be their reaction to the R+L=J: Who is Jon's Mother? video.
And here is where the book ends and the show going down begins. Game of Thrones ends here.
how many Boom Boom's?? xDD cheers from Spain
THIIIIIISS.... episode...!
Well,Howland Reed (Meera and Jojen's father) was with Ned at The Tower of Joy,so he could know who Jon's parents really are.
So much boom boom
I think in a way circe killed all her children.
💗 Raisin Brand!

When's the next episode dropping?
Friday!

The series ends here
Can we just skip ahead to House of the Dragons? 😂
George had nothing to do with the show after S5, and yes Jon has a stronger claim due to the male-preference in the kingdom.
"Legally" he doesn't have any claim to the throne as an "unclaimed bastard." (Not that that means much in Westeros, since what is legal is very subjective.) But technically, the Baratheon brothers had a better claim as legitimate Targ descendents through their grandmother than Jon has as an illegitimate son.
