In the books, the one who protects Sansa and teaches her about the realities of the world is The Hound. For some reason the show changed it to Shae, which makes The Hound showing up in Sansa's room seem random. But in the book, it makes perfect sense because of the established relationship between the two.
Also, from what I remember, The Hound kept making unsettling rapey comments towards Sansa throughout the book. Plus, he was drunk in that scene when he offered to take her with him to leave King's Landing. There was no guarantee that The Hound wouldn't just assault her after leaving KL, so she'd rather take her chance with Stannis.
After Renly's death they said all his men flipped to Stannis, all EXCEPT the Tyrells. You saw Margaery and Loras crying in front of his body and both Catelyn and Littlefinger separately saying they can't avenge Renly from the ground. Then next episode we see Littlefinger in Tywin's camp during that "did he notice Arya" scene. But that whole cat and mouse game with Arya and Tywin was a red herring. The real crux of that scene was Littlefinger proposing an alliance between House Lannister and House Tyrell, the Lords of the Reach. It was as subtle as it was well placed. "Margaery wants to be queen I take it" Tywin asks Littlefinger. None of this would've happened if Littlefinger didn't pick up on how ambitious Margaery was when he visited Renly's camp. "No, I want to be THE queen" she had said. All the chess pieces throughout the season, even the unassuming ones, build to Blackwater. The Lannisters now have their southern flank covered. With supplies and men coming in, the tide of the war has turned completely. But who will be the true power in the capital itself? Them or Tyrells?
I always thought that in this episode Cersei is kinda seeing Sansa as a younger version of herself: the teenage version of Cersei who was so excited to marry Robert and become queen (before life made her a fully cynical monster). And so Cersei is almost mocking and scolding and advising her own past self, venting her frustration at her own past idiocy because she sees it reflected in Sansa's behavior now. Everything Cersei says here is tinged with her own self-hatred and self-disappointment.
@erikperhs_ cersei doesn't have to try with joffrey, she loves him as, in her mind, all mothers always will for their sons. I've always thought that she feels guilty for it, but she definitely loves joffrey
@@aylbur I really don't think so. I've seen this somewhere before, but the way I see it is: she loves her children, but only because she sees them as extensions of herself.
12:36 * is my absolute fav part of this episode -- the Pyromancer is the only character who doesn't look away or shield his eyes, Bridget was right, he is absolutely proud of his life's work, and very excited to see the results 😂 The actor was played by the late, great Roy Dotrice -- George R.R. Martin may have created Westeros and populated the lands from beyond the Wall to across the Narrow Sea, but for audiobook listeners, Roy Dotrice spoke all of it into existence. From 2003 to before his death in 2017, he recorded more than 200 hours of narration for the five published books in the series. In 2011 he was awarded the world record for most character voices in an audiobook for his recording of A Game of Thrones, which contained 224.
@@derekarnold3767 Wow it's... almost as if initialisms like "lmfao" and "lmao" and "lol" have colloquially evolved beyond being expressions signifying literal laughter to the point where they are included passively in sentences to convey a lighthearted nature. What a wacky crazy concept.
@ChiWhispers ok point taken.. it just read to me as a passive aggressive way to mock someone for making a simple mistake, but I guess I'm just not up to date with my internet lingo.
In the books its Loras's brother in the armour (because book Renly was big built, like Robert), but in the show they merged the three Tyrell brothers into one character.
Bridget definitely spotted it was a lion sigil because it was written all over her face when they charged in, I was surprised that she didn't say anything.
Not sure if you'd be interested, but when you watch the season 2 lore, I'd highly suggest also throwing in the behind the scenes making of this episode/battle. It's really cool, and there's another battle I'll suggest that for, but we'll talk about that when you get there! 😉 I love drunk Cersei in this episode! Yes I do hate her character, but she has her moments, and Lena Heady is SOOOOOO amazing in the role.
Ahhh the episode of season 2 i’ve most been looking forward to you guys reacting to. The battle of blackwater is still one of the best episodes and tv spectacles of all time and your reactions are awesome and prove it!!!
Yea, deff still one of my top 10 if not top 5 episodes of the series. Mind you this was when they still had a significantly lower budget and maybe only a million people were watching the show
Tyrion's speech is amazing but I personally love The Hound "Fuck the King" to Jeoffrey's face lolol p.s. The song Bronn sang with the other soldier is The rain of Castamere, it's the Lannisters theme song. If you listen to Serj Tankian version, it sounds so majestic!
"That would make me the quarter-man. Just doesn't have the same ring to it." 😁I really love that Tyrion has a full set of armor and the chain around his neck is a string of "hand" amulets. 😎
This may have been mentioned by other people, but Bron was such a surprise for the UK audience. We knew him as Paddy from Soldier, Soldier (tv show in the 90s) and then one half of the duo Robson & Jerome. A lovely easy listening pair singing covers of Unchained Melody and Up on the Roof. Then he appears in GoT being a lady loving and badass fighter who says c*nt a lot 😂
As far as you know guys Tywin said he was moving onto Robb but instead he got his army to King's Landing after making an alliance with the Tyrells like Littlefinger suggested and took Stannis by surprise, only issue for Tywin is that he leaves Harrenhall for Robb to take
Podrick for the win! Best squire to ever serve! Again, the this show is all about the choices the characters make and the consequences afterward. The Hound decides to leave the services of the Lions. The dog needs to find his own pack! Sansa choses to stay in Kings Landing. The little bird remains caged. I think this was a big one for Joffery too. If he chose to stay with the troops, his story would have played out differently. Perhaps others would treat him more like an adult. More like a King. Remember what Melisandre said to Davos' son from earlier in the season?
The best thing I can say about Game of Thrones is that throughout the show I found myself rooting for the people I was supposed to be against, sometimes rooting against them a moment later, only to root for them again until they did something that made me mad at them.
In case you didn't catch it, what with this episode being a tad bit busy, the guy who slashed Tyrion's face was a member of the Kingsguard (Ser Mandon Moore). Same one who Cersei ordered to make an example of the people who were attempting to flee the castle earlier in the episode.
Ilyn Payne, who is guarding the women, is Podrick Payne's cousin. I don't know whether he deserves to die because he followed Joffrey's order and served as executioner. People have a lot of sympathy for Sandor, and he killed Mycah, a little kid who's only crime was playing with Arya. Although "just following orders" is a weak excuse too.
Just so you guys know, they could only use Wildfire once because of how flammable it is. The pyromancer warned them about it a few episodes before. And that’s why Stannis knew it wouldn’t be used close to shore. Fantastic reaction, like always!
Wildfire is the Greek fire/Napalm of the Game of Thrones world. It explodes like nitro glycerin, is thick and sticky and if it gets on something while burning, that object is done for. Water won't put it out. It'll have to burn itself out. The Hound finally made a good life choice in this episode. F**k the king. Cersei is just being brutally honest with Sansa on what happens when a city is sacked.
One of my favorite episodes. The looks on the pyromancer's face when the wildfire is released is priceless. something I read about the actor who plays Illyn Payne..he was once in a punk rock band. He manages to look so mean all the time, but I can totally picture him rocking out and is probably a really cool guy..lol
No one talks about how Tywin got from the beaches outside Kings Landing to inside the throne room all the way up the Red Keep. Just in time to magically save Tommen.
the song sung on 3:55 if "Rains of Castamere" its an old Lannister song about genocide basically,its pretty nice aswell and becomes iconic as show progresses! What happened at the end is Tywin coming with Tyrells and men from Casterly Rock,he came at the end with purpose as seasoned old war general,he minimized his losses and practically is savior of city. Last sequence between Cersei telling a tale to her Son Tommen,with battle March and Tyrions fate in question is first clue to GOT being best show ever!! u ain seen nothing!!!
The bears in the north she mentioned are the mormonts, and the foxes are the florents (stannis wifes house which are quite powerful but they dont appear so much in the series).
One of the best episodes of GoT! It's shocking how much Cersi looks like Keira Knightley in this episode. I always felt like The Hound had a huge crush on Sansa (I would totally ship them, btw). I know he's an ass, but I just love Tywin.
@@andromidius In the book, right?Yeah, I've seen some YT Shorts that talk about that night and Sansa's unreliable recollection. I'm going through a Dark Romance phase right now. I know all about shipping hard for totally fictional characters.😂
I love your reaction to the drums! I even raised the volume and started drumming on my desk. I had the same reaction first time watching this scene... I actually made it a ringtone for some time, when I first watched this episode. LOL. I love your channel. I am glad I discovered it. You are both brilliant! Love you guys!
This is a top 5 episode for me. But that might be because I started this series is season 2 and this was the first episode where I had to wait a week to see the next one.
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws, And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours. And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, and not a soul to hear. - The Rains Of Castamere
Drunk Cersei is unhinged and I love it. Don't get me wrong she's a complete bitch but the pretense is gone and she's being completely honest with her emotions. And whilst she is not exactly being nice to Sansa she is being truthful and this will break her innocence and naivety but strengthen her resolve in the long run.
Yeah Kit Harrington fell i love with Rose Leslie while she was grindin on that wood grind gindin on that wood in season 2 The Hound and Bron are on rival teams so to speak... Joffrey is protected by the Hound and Tyrion by Bronn so when they are in that stand off before the war and you asked," why are they about to fight? Is this their first iteraction?" - likely not. the Hound probably also likes being the only bad a protector in the court of the king. He probably is turned off by Bronns social climbing too.
Arya assumed Tywin was marching on Robb and the Northmen but instead he went to meet with House Tyrell and made an alliance with The Reach. You will learn more about The Reach in this season's history and lore.
Its still so interesting how incredibly inefficient the battle strategy was. Or rather, how like 90% of it is missing. They could have done SO much more with the wildfire.
Guys the Hound fire trauma comes from when his brother burned his face as an infant. Little Finger addressed this at the jousting where he saved Loras from his brother.
my favorite thing about Stannis is how he leads from the front. He is the first in the boat, the first to land on the beach, the first at the wall and the first up the ladder. And then he has to be pulled back by his men.
“I feel like if your guts are out, the strangling is the least of your worries” 😂😂😂 bro that line made me laugh so hard I woke my GF up. I got the meanest look you e ever seen 😮😅😂
11:26 he's new, it's aight 15:35 we hate him but he's new and I think anyone would react like that 17:33 guess theres no one else to relate to and/or trauma dump on 19:33 people have praised him for that 20:58 21:08 you know, I'm at least glad he hesitated and was unsure. He at least considers listening when Tyrion gives him advice (Well not die.) 25:42 the way the music gets quiet It's...it feels so awkward because it doesn't look bad at all (and it's worse in the books) When I first saw it I was like "?? What, what happened? It's just a cut, is he woozy because of the blood or smth? He's fine-- I'm so lost" 27:01 he looks fine lol
i'm currently watching this with my father, his first time not mine, and he loves tyrion so much that he was ready to quit the show cuz he thought he was dead. i had to quickly start the next episode to calm him down lol. we only have 3 more episodes and then he is done with the series!
He thought he...dang Why He always looked perfectly fine to me, and I was so lost when I saw it (though his injuries were worse in the books I heard, so that would make sense) It's good that it does what it should for viewers, but it always feels awkward to watch reactions bc he seems perfectly fine 😅
Anyone would have fell for that trick I don't blame him. The main reason Stannis lost is he didn't team up with Rob just as King Robert and Ned did all those years ago

Loras came wearing Renly's armour. Renly's soldiers who had defected to Stannis thought they saw Renly's ghost and they ran like scareddy cats.

I like how Sansa messes with Joffrey “my brother leads his men into battle” to try to get him killed.
@@andrewward5891 I know right. Her subtleness was not so subtle 🤣
Rocks are the best weapon to use for sieges. People seriously underestimate what happens when a rock is dropped from high places on you.
Real sieges can last years. Mostly it's about trying to tunnel under walls to collapse them. There isn't that much fighting.
Boiling oil poured on besiegers tends to discourage them too
And rocks are relatively cheap!

The black water was all Tyrion. From the plans to him leading the men.
He would loose If tywin didnt show up. But If tyrion didnt delay Stannis, when Tywin arrives they would ALL né dead.
“Rains of Castermere” is such an anthem. Hopefully they’ll remember cuz I sure as hell didn’t 😭
This still ranks in my top three episodes of the show, it might even be my favorite.
"That would make me the quarter-man. Just doesn't have the same ring to it." 😁I really love that Tyrion has a full set of armor and the chain around his neck is a string of "hand" amulets. 😎

Then he appears in GoT being a lady loving and badass fighter who says c*nt a lot 😂
22:15 - Stannis punished his soldiers who rape by gelding them. So that's unlikely.
I've watched this GOT episode so many times and I still get chills at the end when Tywin says "We have won"

The Hound has PTSD when it comes to fire
Ilyn Payne, who is guarding the women, is Podrick Payne's cousin. I don't know whether he deserves to die because he followed Joffrey's order and served as executioner. People have a lot of sympathy for Sandor, and he killed Mycah, a little kid who's only crime was playing with Arya. Although "just following orders" is a weak excuse too.

I just saw Julian Glover (Grandmaester Pycelle) in the movie, Tar. I didn't recognize him at first, and he hasn't changed that much.
He also voices Aragog the spider in Harry Potter.
@@phoenixfox2697 Cool.
The golden company came and fought (and also you guys missed that A kingsguard cut Tyrion's face)
Epic battle gets me goosebumps
Arya assumed Tywin was marching on Robb and the Northmen but instead he went to meet with House Tyrell and made an alliance with The Reach. You will learn more about The Reach in this season's history and lore.
I've really started to enjoy your reaction.
Fuck yes! Wake up on my birthday and get to watch your GOT reaction with my morning coffee. Best start to the day, fantastic reaction!
When it comes to Fire, The Hound is like Frankenstein in Hotel Transylvania.
"Fire Bad!"
Stannis chose this part of the wall because it is the weakest; with the less reinforced gates.
Its still so interesting how incredibly inefficient the battle strategy was. Or rather, how like 90% of it is missing. They could have done SO much more with the wildfire.
The rains of castamere..this brings me a different kind of mood
I wish we could've got a scene seeing tywin fighting!
Guys the Hound fire trauma comes from when his brother burned his face as an infant. Little Finger addressed this at the jousting where he saved Loras from his brother.
They're in the public area of a brothel. Still, it's more of D&D's "sexposition," and their penchant for using women as set décor.
3:46 great song!
In the books the half man rode out on a horse, that would have so cool to see
Sandor's brother burned his face when he was a kid (not a spoiler, stated in a previous episode in season one). He is afraid of fire.
Varys uses the kids in town to bring him secrets they overhear. It's kind of like Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street irregulars.
That's right, usually episode 9 and 10 are tragic and the best!
my favorite thing about Stannis is how he leads from the front.
He is the first in the boat, the first to land on the beach, the first at the wall and the first up the ladder. And then he has to be pulled back by his men.
Stannis uses wildfire to wash his mouth in the morning!
Who doesnt love Yeah-Gritty?
“I feel like if your guts are out, the strangling is the least of your worries” 😂😂😂 bro that line made me laugh so hard I woke my GF up. I got the meanest look you e ever seen 😮😅😂
11:26 he's new, it's aight
15:35 we hate him but he's new and I think anyone would react like that
17:33 guess theres no one else to relate to and/or trauma dump on
19:33 people have praised him for that
20:58
21:08 you know, I'm at least glad he hesitated and was unsure. He at least considers listening when Tyrion gives him advice
(Well not die.)
25:42 the way the music gets quiet
It's...it feels so awkward because it doesn't look bad at all (and it's worse in the books)
When I first saw it I was like "?? What, what happened? It's just a cut, is he woozy because of the blood or smth? He's fine-- I'm so lost"
27:01 he looks fine lol
That was awesome!
Getting closer guys!!! 😂
i'm currently watching this with my father, his first time not mine, and he loves tyrion so much that he was ready to quit the show cuz he thought he was dead. i had to quickly start the next episode to calm him down lol. we only have 3 more episodes and then he is done with the series!
He thought he...dang
Why
He always looked perfectly fine to me, and I was so lost when I saw it (though his injuries were worse in the books I heard, so that would make sense)
It's good that it does what it should for viewers, but it always feels awkward to watch reactions bc he seems perfectly fine 😅
Now that seasons 1 and 2 are over….you’re about to watch the best written/executed 2 seasons of tv….in the history of tv! Buckle up!
Great reaction! Just a heads up - there are some random crochet tutorial videos in your GoT playlist.
You two are the best. So real, so funny.
Maybe they'll just tell their husbands what a drunk the queen regent is.
I always feel kind of bad for Stannis in this episode, he got screwed over big time by that pyromancer lol
Anyone would have fell for that trick I don't blame him. The main reason Stannis lost is he didn't team up with Rob just as King Robert and Ned did all those years ago
Tywin and his army met up with the Tyrell Army
Your GoT playlist has a bunch of random crocheting vids in it 😂
Damn it! That’s my fault 😂 -bridge
Bridgette looked at me with such a shocked look when I showed her this comment 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Stannis would have won if Tywin and loras force hadn’t come to defend.
Yeah but Tyrion’s wildfire ship and his defense of the Mud gate bought enough time for Tywin’s cavalry to arrive.
