Moderator's Message: This will be my last message. SoFie has reacted to the series finale over on her Patreon account. Ms. Sofie, I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. If there is anything that you want help with in future, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best wishes for your continued health and happiness!
The fact that she never doubted Jamie's honor as a knight in bestowing her the title is the other bookend to that great scene. She's the only person in the Seven Kingdoms who truly understands and knows him.
Season 1: Robert Baratheon to Nedd Stark: “I have a son, you have a daughter, we’ll join our houses.” Season 8: Arya and Gendry fulfill the arrangement.
People say a lot of bad things about this season. The truth is that the first three episodes are very, very good... the ones that remain... oh, well...
With all the nods and callbacks this episode is basically a hour long homage to the throwback moments of the show. It's like a farewell tour. I vaguely remembered it for being slow, but on rewatches I've grown fond of this episode for the way it builds up anticipation and gets me sad and nostalgic for the incredible journey we've had. It tugged the heartstrings much better than what I initially remembered. Pod's Jenny of Oldstones sets the mood for The Night Before Winter.
I just watched s08e03 under the patreon membership... Sofie was incredible. Everything I was hoping it was going to be. A 10min youtube reaction wouldn't make it justice. I highly recommend subscribing and watching episode 3 and the remaining episodes too... IN FULL.
One thing I wish we’d had more of are these sad moments where you can tell that Dany is just searching for a sense of belonging and to be loved. She’s always been on the outside looking in, and as you pointed out she kind of thinks finding “devoted” followers is how to get what she wants, but as they say, “Heavy is the head who wears the crown.” When you have that much power, there’s still a disconnect in relationship between you and your people. It’s not the more equitable, loving relationships she seems to envy between the Starks and their allies. Jorah, Tyrion, Missandei and Grey Worm are the closest thing she’s got to that but they are all such outsiders in this place.
Dany was brought up being told that when she (and her brother) returned to Westoros the 'people' would cheer and show them devotion and admiration - she believed it. However now she sees the truth, that she has now right to expect any of this from the people of Westeros - she hasn't earnt the right, and the Targaryens have no True historical or familial connection to the peoples of Westeros, not matter how many of hundreds of years they were there they were always outsiders, conquerors and foreigners. The 'people' of Westeros follow their own leaders and historical connections, and will always do so. To rule Westeros, Dany must share power with the houses of Westeros, as they have the true power over the people. This is not what she's used to, or expecting, or wanting. However if she doesn't then her rule will always be challenged or undermined by others.......and then she finds out that Jon Snow not only is the rightful heir through Targaryen heritage, but also has the blood of the North and so IS connected to the people. He has BOTH the Targaryen right and the right of Westeros to rule and be followed.
Jaime knights Brienne with Widow's Wail, while she has Oathkeeper with her. It's the symbolic coming together of the Two Swords Tywin re-forged from Ned Stark's sword Ice. Where else but in Winterfell. With the knighting it's like Ice is whole once again. That was a nice touch, dare I say. The first time Jaime saw Brienne was as a prisoner, during that heated "Kingslayer? What a King he was!" back and forth with Catelyn which revolved around questions of forsaken vows, honor and knighthood. Now that conversation is complete.
I absolutely LOVE the knighting scene with Brienne! It's said that Nicholae "got lost in the scene" while doing it and had to be "snapped out of it" afterward as he just kept repeating, "was it alright?" 😢
I also like the visual contrast of Jamie compared to the first season. He was golden-blonde, clean shaven, shiny armor and wavy cloak. Now he has muddy-blonde greyish hair, unkempt and unshaven, dark worn out clothes and a heavy cloak.
What a beautifully emotional episode. It's these moments of raw bliss before the deluge, that are far more amazing than anything asoiaf purists and Dany stans wanted out of the final season. Like you said..Jaime Brienne knighting, what an amazing scene, what an amazing character Jaime is. Oathbreaker is whole once again. In winterfell. It was made out of Ned's sword.
that was a quick turn around... when someone asked who can sing, Sofie was about to laugh at the idea of anyone singing... then Podrick starts singing and Sofie is in love with the song.
It's absolutely beautiful ... for my money, a million times better than 'Florence' (of the Machine!) who sings it over the end credits. So much soul and emotion 😍
12:45 that may be jealousy. But I'm more convinced Denaerys is confused about Sansa. She's probably asking herself how the same Sansa (who was so harsh and resentful towards her) can also be so lovely and emotional towards Theon. Denaerys is so used to be warshipped and admired that she has became completely uncapable to understand, even conceive, how someone who doesn't like her could exist. 13:30 Thormund is THE BEST. Now and forever. Anyways, I think their plan is stupid, but it's a conversation for the next episode. I also really like Beric Dondarrion; I know it's a marginal character in the show, but he deserves more love. But the real protagonist of this episode is, of course, Brienne. What a moving scene... I cried the first time I watched it.
I think it's the first reaction of season 8 were people didn't try or succeed in influencing the reactor. You sometimes see comments as s soon as season 1 about season 8. Just let people come to their conclusion by themselves, much more interesting.
@@grzegorzmj4881 I don't think I would put this above any 7th season episode,though...as I said,it's the best of _the 8th_ season...but that doesn't say much considering how much the 8th season sucks!X-P And no,I don't think the 7th season does. Not even remotely.
Hey Sophie! Just thought you would like to know, there is a solid theory on Podrick singing and the comment has been long since going around. It states: "Now we know what podrick did to those girls" Meaning they were actually so touched by his innocence and his beautiful voice that they didn't take his money :)
Watching cry during the scene with Brienne becoming a knight brought a tear to my eye too, especially when they show her smiling. She definitely deserved it.
Theon is the character with the biggest revindication. Probably everyone enjoy seeing him being tortured after the things he had done. And now, even Sofie is crying for him the most.
That heart warming moment when Theon goes to embrace our Lady of Winterfell, Dany in the background looking envious af. Well she gotta realize you can't build those connections by fear and intimidation. The Dragon Queen ain't got no support system like that lol. Ok not gonna lie. I usually hate on Emilia but the range she manages to capture in her facial expressions during the Jon reveal scene is nothing short of incredible. If you zone in on her face all through that scene it's another one of those beautiful close up shots of an actor giving it all they've got. Sometimes I just gotta savor moments like that with my theater kid glasses on cause that was a masterclass in acting. Credit's where credit's due.
remember the sword Jamie makes Brienne a Knight with was one of the two swords made from House Stark's ancestral sword 'Ice'. with the other sword already gifted to Brienne by Jamie. Oath Keeper and Widows Wail. both swords there to defend Winterfell...
LMAO at your reaction to Arya and Gendry 😂 I think we all had a similar reaction at the time! We basically watched her grow up. But the actress was actually like 22 or 23 in this scene, and Arya's character is supposed to be 18. Still like watching your little sister though 🤷♀️
Thank you for your passion in and about this epic tale. It's been very wonderfully presented by you. As it nears it's close, i feel a heartfelt gratitude for the investment you have made in this lengthy reaction. You genuinely have woven yourself into it. Thank you, Sofie. 💙 💙 💙
I think it's fairer to say maybe we didn't know everything about Jamie in the beginning than to say he's changed. The things he goes through humanize him more, but I'm still fairly sure he'd push a kid out of a window again if he thought he had to.
Most people miss it but they totally solve the mystery of Podrick Payne in this episode. It's hard to figure it out because the answer is buried under emotion when they tell us. Pod did not have to pay those women because......he sang to them of course! He said he did "lots of things" to them. Singing is a thing someone might do. We blow by that because all of us are terrified.
A lot of people hate the next episode for odd reasons, but this migth be one of the best pairs of episodes together. The whole mood they create is unmatched.
I always had an issue with Dany saying that was "jons war" That situation has been brewing for centuries and it just so happens that it's popping off in their generation and they all have to fight it as a unit, that was not a war caused by any of them but unfortunately they have to deal with it
Another AMAZING EPISODE! I love when the show focuses on relationships. It was the calm before the storm, so it was nice to see some loose ends tied up. So glad that Brienne stood up for Jaime and then Sansa stood up for Brienne to keep Jamie in Winterfell. So glad that Jaime is fighting for the right side finally. I am glad that Bran and Jaime finally had that scene together too, even though Bran isn't quite the same. It went basically how I expected. Regardless, I am glad that Jaime apologized. Jorah had a great episode! Reconnecting with his family via Lyanna. Standing up for Tyrion. Having the heart to heart with Dany. Sansa/Dany were so tense and Sansa basically admitting she is not going to bend the knee for Dany.. yikes. THEON AND FREAKING SANSA, I CANNOT. MY HEART CANT TAKE THEM. I screamed when he arrived. I almost died when Sansa saw him. When he asked if he could fight for her? sfsfsdfsdfsdf. And their hug!!! Their freaking hug. OMG. He desperately needed that and they went through so much together. I love his storyline arc, he had a great one. And by defending Bran, he is earning back the respect of the audience that he lost along the way. I love it. I did love the little moment between Theon and Sansa at the end of the episode too, just smiling at each other and talking. In my head they talked all night long. The Jamie/Brienne moments in the episode were so great! I loved when they had that funny talk outside about how nice he was being . When he knighted her later? MY HEART. Brienne was so happy and they were looking at each other so fondly. Such a great moment. All those scenes with the group in the room drinking and singing (Go Podrick!) were so cute. Loved Davos chilling there with them. Tyrion had some funny lines too and omg Tormund is SO funny. His giant story was awesome. Also his "F tradition" was so adorable. I also loved the moments between Tyrion and Jamie. Interesting that Cersei was not in this episode at all, that was nice. I want a bit more of Varys but I know its hard to juggle all this screen time. Sam was phenomenal this episode. Loved his little speeches. I also really enjoyed the Hound and Arya scene, it was a long time coming and so them. I love when the Hound said he defended her. So cute. GENDY AND FREAKING ARYA!!!! MY HEART. FINALLY. Damn. I loved all their scenes. He made that weapon for her! She confronted him about the red women. She kissed him, they had sex yassssss!!!! That scene was adorable. YAY. Glad that Jon told Dany the truth, though I didn't really see the point in it right now, especially if Jon doesn't even want the throne. Why make things more difficult for everyone? I felt bad for Dany, she's been wanting this forever and now it can be taken away just because he's a man. I'd rather see Dany on the throne, but at this point I was thinking either of them were too predictable. My money was on Sansa. That ending was scary AF! So many amazing moments and pay offs in this episode. Loving how things are coming full circle and the callbacks to past scenes.
I'm glad that you loved this episode, as I loved it too. It truly is one of the best GOT episodes for me. I just loved the interactions here. Alfie Allen did a great acting job in the show, a big reason why he stands out. What you said in the beginning was a great observation, something that I didn't think of myself, no matter how many times I've watched the show. Tyrion did a great job as being the Hand in King's Landing, he didn't do too well being the Hand for Dani. I use to think of it more like, being smart on things doesn't necessarily mean you have a monopoly on strategy, sort of like coaches who win the Super Bowl, they appear smart, but the next year they just don't do as well, most of the time. Even though Tyrion made a bad move in Mereen with the slavers, most of his other bad moves were indeed against his own family. Maybe he couldn't be as ruthless in strategy against his own family, I think it's more a coincidence that came into play, but what you said is definitely enough to have a debate over. I've come to enjoy your videos very much. What I like best of all is that you don't address in your videos some of the negativity in the comments about the ladder seasons. You're being true to the show & yourself. BRAVO!
Daenerys needs to make Sasha understand that the best way forward (for the north who declared independence twice and are literally willing to die for it) is for the north to go back under the Iron Throne? The north went to war because the MAD King killed his prisoners, burned one alive, Dany isn’t her father, but she Literally burned alive her prisoners and extinguished a Noble house because they wouldn’t surrender to a FOREIGN INVADER at the head of a HORDE OF DOTHRAKI KNOWN FOR BUTCHERING MEN AND VIOLATING WOMEN, and a Stolen Slave army. Danny’s biggest Allies were Ellaria and the Sand Snakes (kinslayers), House Tyrell (slimy opportunists that boosted the Lannisters power when Robb had them on the ropes), and Yara and Theon Greyjoy (Lady Pirate and Turncoat Oathbreaker). Then there is Jorah, a Slaver. If you are an average northerner, who believes oath breaking and pirating and kinslaying are dishonorable and punishable, and who hates the south, and your father and/or brother died for independence, why would you want to live under a foreign woman who burns people alive?
"The Dead are coming! Quick! Hide the people who can't fight in the Crypt!" RIP logic and common sense. This is probably the best of the season, but it's still riddled with nonesense and humour that's almost alien to the first 4 seasons. I do like Brienne being Knighted, but I agree with Pitch Meetings when it comes to Arya and Gendry.
Exactly, this episode is a perfect example of how, even at their best, the later seasons were just big spectacle and the occasional emotionally impactful moment pieced together with fan service and nonsensical storytelling.
I sometimes think the show should have ended here. Do we need to know how the war ends, if they even survive? Here are our heroes at their highest, their noblest. Here we see all of them as their best selves. If storytelling is about the revelation of character, what more do we need to see?
'Here we see all of them as their best selves. If storytelling is about the revelation of character, what more do we need to see?' Well, you answered the question yourself: When it comes to revelation of character your 'best self' only tells half the story at best.
"Arise", offcourse sofie gonna cry in that moment. And offcourse she gonna feel uncomfortable watching Arya it's like watching your daughter doing it. The feeling of the first two episode was huge and that's make the rest of episode this season dissapointment also huge😥 Also yes the reason Night king want to kill brand was weird and confusing.
Season 1 " Winter is Coming" Season 2 " Winter is Coming" Season 3 " Winter is coming" Became a woman of winter Season 4 " Winter is Coming" Season 5 " Winter is Coming" Re Confirming you are a woman of winter Season 6 " Winter is Coming" Season 7 " Winter is Coming" Season 8 " Winter is Here" And you still not ready 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Story about the song.. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Jenny of Oldstones was a poor woman who won the heart of Prince Duncan Targaryen and married him against the wishes of his father, King Aegon V Targaryen, due to the fact that he was already betrothed to the daughter of Lord Lyonel Baratheon. Aegon attempted to have the marriage undone, but Duncan refused to leave Jenny and gave up his right to the throne. Lyonel was so enraged at the offense, however, of the Targaryens breaking the promised marriage betrothal, that the Stormlands rose up in a brief but bloody rebellion, culminating in an epic trial by combat between Lord Lyonel and his old friend Ser Duncan the Tall, now Aegon V's Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. She was the inspiration for many songs, which famously remember her "with flowers in her hair". Jenny was a very popular romantic figure in later songs for many a young maiden (like Sansa Stark): Jenny, the commoner girl for whom the heir to the Iron Throne gave up his inheritance out of love.
The song is about the Tragedy of Summerhall, right? When Egg and Sir Duncan and Prince Duncan and most of the Royal family die in the fire while trying to bring back dragons? (And isn't there a popular theory that Rhaegar wrote the song?)
@@jcompton8507 I believe that in the lore, it's at the very least, one of the songs that Rhaegar liked to sing. The theory that he also wrote it does have a lot of support among the book readers.
@@bbwng54 and the reason people ask this question is that they still see them as a child although more than 7 years has passed, and that's ALOS because she's so short (and because people are no good at math) When Sansa was raped by Ramsy she was youger than how Arya is now, but people didn't think about her age because raping was portraiyed as a bad act perpetuated by a bad person, and so it wasn't at odd with people feeling: people felt is as a bad thing and the show portraited it as the bad thing it was, but HOW DARE they show that a young girl can have a consensual intercourse HOW dare they portrait it as a good thing? this was definitely at odd with people's feeling. But of corse the showrunner did think it trough, and that's why it didn't happen until Arya was 18. It's ludicrous that certain people even went to look at how old was the actress, since the intercoure wasn't actually on screen.
🌹🌹 Hi! I'm Branislav! I love this episode as much as you do! I won't tell you how the plot will continue, but according to millions of people around the world, this was the last good episode of this whole amazing saga! I love every single second of this fantastic episode! And I hate every single second of the other episodes of this season 8! 😨The two writers who betrayed millions of fans wrote season 8 stupidly and it was a big bad shock for the whole community! The two of them betrayed us all and I will never forgive them for this! All the beautiful characters in this TVseries were trampled to dust by two fools in the 8th season! A shame! Thanks for your great reaction... 🌹🌹
@Baryon Domingo Yes, but then they smelled the money from Disney and ruined everything, the show and the fans! Game of Thrones was an amazing world full of great characters and they destroyed it for money! 😰
@@SerbAtheist 😨 Maybe for you, but not for millions of fans around the world! In several episodes of season 8, the writers destroyed all the plot lines and the development of the main characters! It could have been done much better! It could easily have been the 9th season! Two writers ruined years of the series in a few episodes just because they wanted to go work for Disney on Star Wars movies and make a lot of money! It was a big disappointment for the fans who have loved this wonderful series for many years!
Since spoilers are open now, Dany's reaction to Jon telling her that he was Aegon was immediate concern about how that affected her personally instead of understanding the story about her brother. It's a big deal of course, but she repelled away instantly at the name because she felt threatened. Her entire identity was formed around being the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She was always bloodthirsty and reactionary, but this is when she cracked.
*Have You Seen "RRR" movie, If Not Then YOU SHOULD React "RRR" MOVIE, It is the biggest action film to come out of India, it has won many awards like Golden Globes, Hollywood Critics Association Awards.* *And a song from this movie (Naatu Naatu), Has also Won an Oscar, and it will Blow up ur Views Count too....u will get lots of views ,u have never Imagine off) This Movie will Blow ur mind for sure.... It is Compilation of all the genres It has Action(like never seen Before), Drama, Emotional, a great Story line, and a Greatest dance of all time.*
I really hate when Dany tells Sansa that she's in Winterfell "fighting Jon's war". Firstly it's not Jon's war, it's everyone's war... the war for humanity. I also hate that she's lying about her motivation for being there. She pledged herself and her army to Jon after the Night King killed her dragon. She wanted vengeance for the killing of her "child". And she's been manipulating Jon ever since. Sansa is right to be distrustful of her.

"Fought for you, didn't I?"
Makes my heart melt everytime...and I didn't cry at Tony Stark's death!
predicting that Sofie was about to cry when Brienne was made Knight was the easiest thing I've ever done... love the reaction
and I as usual cried because Sofie was crying...
😢
I've never seen a reactor get through that with dry eyes. Some try to play it off, but it gets everybody.

I like how blunt Arya is.
she's basically like "I would like to have sex, you'll do. Lie down".
I also like the visual contrast of Jamie compared to the first season. He was golden-blonde, clean shaven, shiny armor and wavy cloak. Now he has muddy-blonde greyish hair, unkempt and unshaven, dark worn out clothes and a heavy cloak.
12:13 ... One of the most heartfelt & heat tugging moments of the show ... Theon truly is a Greyjoy AND a Stark ...

“I’ll find comfort knowing that you’re gonna cry with me”- this made my day, and I subbed for that.
When they were strategizing over the battle, all those people in the same room just warmed my heart
Too bad they spent more time drinking and singing than coming up with a real strategie. I mean... catapults in front of the walls? Why?
1:33 The writers "kinda forgot" that House Stark and House Lannister weren't at war when Jaime attacked Ned Stark in the streets.
12:45 that may be jealousy. But I'm more convinced Denaerys is confused about Sansa. She's probably asking herself how the same Sansa (who was so harsh and resentful towards her) can also be so lovely and emotional towards Theon.

I think that's the secret of why the ladies loved Podrick at the brothel and didn't take his money he sang to them.
Pod is a man of many talents😉
14:03 The big woman still here 😂😂😂
Why didn't they make that happen

This episode is flawless to me. One of the best in all of GOT
I’m pretty sure Pod’s beautiful voice is what made him a hit with the ladies.
So he sang to them in the brothel!
One of the best episodes they ever did.
The only decent episode of the 8th season,IMO.

Jenny's song was a great foreshadowing, a nugget for book readers. Now Dunk and Egg is coming! One of the best written piece by GRRM

"Now we know what podrick did to those girls"
Meaning they were actually so touched by his innocence and his beautiful voice that they didn't take his money :)
Jamie, Theon and Sandor are some of the most realistic, flawed, human characters ever written.
22:26 ... and just like that ... one of the most POWERFUL moments of the show. Ser Brienne ... a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Watching cry during the scene with Brienne becoming a knight brought a tear to my eye too, especially when they show her smiling. She definitely deserved it.
24:54 now you know what is Podrick's talent was
Podrick has too many talents to count them all.
@@mimmo4762 I meant back then when Sofie was wondering what his talent was that the girls liked him and he didn't paid
He was singing to them
24:57 : I was hoping Porick to say "we have no song for great halls and evil times", before singing the perfect song for great halls and evil times.
Theon is the character with the biggest revindication. Probably everyone enjoy seeing him being tortured after the things he had done. And now, even Sofie is crying for him the most.
Theon was my favorite character of the whole series, I adored him.
some say that we finally found out what Pod did to Littlefinger's brothel women, that made them give him back the money.
I think that's the only time Brienne smiles in the series. Hits me hard every time I watch it.
That heart warming moment when Theon goes to embrace our Lady of Winterfell, Dany in the background looking envious af. Well she gotta realize you can't build those connections by fear and intimidation. The Dragon Queen ain't got no support system like that lol. Ok not gonna lie. I usually hate on Emilia but the range she manages to capture in her facial expressions during the Jon reveal scene is nothing short of incredible. If you zone in on her face all through that scene it's another one of those beautiful close up shots of an actor giving it all they've got. Sometimes I just gotta savor moments like that with my theater kid glasses on cause that was a masterclass in acting. Credit's where credit's due.
remember the sword Jamie makes Brienne a Knight with was one of the two swords made from House Stark's ancestral sword 'Ice'. with the other sword already gifted to Brienne by Jamie. Oath Keeper and Widows Wail. both swords there to defend Winterfell...
Alot of people say this season is the worst but this episode is one of the best out of the whole series
It was one of the best *because* of the whole series.
LMAO at your reaction to Arya and Gendry 😂 I think we all had a similar reaction at the time! We basically watched her grow up. But the actress was actually like 22 or 23 in this scene, and Arya's character is supposed to be 18. Still like watching your little sister though 🤷♀️
Easily one of the series best episodes.
One of my favourite episodes It is only good because of how ell we know the characters and the personal journey they have been on
Thank you for your passion in and about this epic tale. It's been very wonderfully presented by you. As it nears it's close, i feel a heartfelt gratitude for the investment you have made in this lengthy reaction. You genuinely have woven yourself into it. Thank you, Sofie.
💙 💙 💙
Pod singing is one of the best moments of the entire show
game of thrones é a maior serie da tv é esse titulo nao é atoa !! é uma obra prima
I think it's fairer to say maybe we didn't know everything about Jamie in the beginning than to say he's changed. The things he goes through humanize him more, but I'm still fairly sure he'd push a kid out of a window again if he thought he had to.
Stop making me cry. Great reaction.
Now we know what Podrick did in the brothel that so impressed the working girls, (that they didn't charge him).
I have listened to “ Jenny of old stone “ for hundreds of times .
Merci d'aimer Theon. Je me sentais un peu seule dans ce cas au moment de la diffusion de la série. Cette scène de retrouvailles avec Sansa...
Love your reactions to this masterpiece.
Get your popcorn ready....best episode of the season is coming shortly
something I noticed after watching the next episode is that I was exhausted. The entire episode was so dramatic. the soundtrack was incredible.
Lol
I agree. So good
After Jenny of Oldstone all our favorite heroes ride into battle, they die heroic deaths and the NightKing takes over Westeros. The End.
That's a good joke but I bet some morons think it'd be a good ending lol
Always good to see a refreshing high EQ reaction
What's EQ? Equine? Equivalent?
It has been said that Podrick sang for the ladies in the brothel and that's why they gave back the money.
“The things we do for love”
And now you know what Pod did to those girls !
On my personal top 5 of got episodes ❤️
Man this episode is so well lit
Most people miss it but they totally solve the mystery of Podrick Payne in this episode. It's hard to figure it out because the answer is buried under emotion when they tell us.
Pod did not have to pay those women because......he sang to them of course! He said he did "lots of things" to them. Singing is a thing someone might do. We blow by that because all of us are terrified.
A lot of people hate the next episode for odd reasons, but this migth be one of the best pairs of episodes together. The whole mood they create is unmatched.
They watched it illegally hence the quality wasn't good
I always had an issue with Dany saying that was "jons war" That situation has been brewing for centuries and it just so happens that it's popping off in their generation and they all have to fight it as a unit, that was not a war caused by any of them but unfortunately they have to deal with it
Now we know why Podric was so well taken care of, by the Ladies of Kings Landing...
Another AMAZING EPISODE!
I love when the show focuses on relationships. It was the calm before the storm, so it was nice to see some loose ends tied up.
So glad that Brienne stood up for Jaime and then Sansa stood up for Brienne to keep Jamie in Winterfell. So glad that Jaime is fighting for the right side finally. I am glad that Bran and Jaime finally had that scene together too, even though Bran isn't quite the same. It went basically how I expected. Regardless, I am glad that Jaime apologized.
Jorah had a great episode! Reconnecting with his family via Lyanna. Standing up for Tyrion. Having the heart to heart with Dany. Sansa/Dany were so tense and Sansa basically admitting she is not going to bend the knee for Dany.. yikes.
THEON AND FREAKING SANSA, I CANNOT. MY HEART CANT TAKE THEM. I screamed when he arrived. I almost died when Sansa saw him. When he asked if he could fight for her? sfsfsdfsdfsdf. And their hug!!! Their freaking hug. OMG. He desperately needed that and they went through so much together. I love his storyline arc, he had a great one. And by defending Bran, he is earning back the respect of the audience that he lost along the way. I love it. I did love the little moment between Theon and Sansa at the end of the episode too, just smiling at each other and talking. In my head they talked all night long.
The Jamie/Brienne moments in the episode were so great! I loved when they had that funny talk outside about how nice he was being . When he knighted her later? MY HEART. Brienne was so happy and they were looking at each other so fondly. Such a great moment. All those scenes with the group in the room drinking and singing (Go Podrick!) were so cute. Loved Davos chilling there with them. Tyrion had some funny lines too and omg Tormund is SO funny. His giant story was awesome. Also his "F tradition" was so adorable. I also loved the moments between Tyrion and Jamie. Interesting that Cersei was not in this episode at all, that was nice. I want a bit more of Varys but I know its hard to juggle all this screen time.
Sam was phenomenal this episode. Loved his little speeches. I also really enjoyed the Hound and Arya scene, it was a long time coming and so them. I love when the Hound said he defended her. So cute. GENDY AND FREAKING ARYA!!!! MY HEART. FINALLY. Damn. I loved all their scenes. He made that weapon for her! She confronted him about the red women. She kissed him, they had sex yassssss!!!! That scene was adorable. YAY.
Glad that Jon told Dany the truth, though I didn't really see the point in it right now, especially if Jon doesn't even want the throne. Why make things more difficult for everyone? I felt bad for Dany, she's been wanting this forever and now it can be taken away just because he's a man. I'd rather see Dany on the throne, but at this point I was thinking either of them were too predictable. My money was on Sansa.
That ending was scary AF! So many amazing moments and pay offs in this episode. Loving how things are coming full circle and the callbacks to past scenes.
I'm glad that you loved this episode, as I loved it too. It truly is one of the best GOT episodes for me. I just loved the interactions here. Alfie Allen did a great acting job in the show, a big reason why he stands out. What you said in the beginning was a great observation, something that I didn't think of myself, no matter how many times I've watched the show. Tyrion did a great job as being the Hand in King's Landing, he didn't do too well being the Hand for Dani. I use to think of it more like, being smart on things doesn't necessarily mean you have a monopoly on strategy, sort of like coaches who win the Super Bowl, they appear smart, but the next year they just don't do as well, most of the time. Even though Tyrion made a bad move in Mereen with the slavers, most of his other bad moves were indeed against his own family. Maybe he couldn't be as ruthless in strategy against his own family, I think it's more a coincidence that came into play, but what you said is definitely enough to have a debate over. I've come to enjoy your videos very much. What I like best of all is that you don't address in your videos some of the negativity in the comments about the ladder seasons. You're being true to the show & yourself. BRAVO!
I think it's just that he only knows westeros. He knows how the game is played there.
Daenerys needs to make Sasha understand that the best way forward (for the north who declared independence twice and are literally willing to die for it) is for the north to go back under the Iron Throne? The north went to war because the MAD King killed his prisoners, burned one alive, Dany isn’t her father, but she Literally burned alive her prisoners and extinguished a Noble house because they wouldn’t surrender to a FOREIGN INVADER at the head of a HORDE OF DOTHRAKI KNOWN FOR BUTCHERING MEN AND VIOLATING WOMEN, and a Stolen Slave army. Danny’s biggest Allies were Ellaria and the Sand Snakes (kinslayers), House Tyrell (slimy opportunists that boosted the Lannisters power when Robb had them on the ropes), and Yara and Theon Greyjoy (Lady Pirate and Turncoat Oathbreaker). Then there is Jorah, a Slaver. If you are an average northerner, who believes oath breaking and pirating and kinslaying are dishonorable and punishable, and who hates the south, and your father and/or brother died for independence, why would you want to live under a foreign woman who burns people alive?
me: all characters died
surviviors: stop telling people we died
me, ignoring plot after 8x2: i still here their voices sometimes
"The Dead are coming! Quick! Hide the people who can't fight in the Crypt!" RIP logic and common sense.
This is probably the best of the season, but it's still riddled with nonesense and humour that's almost alien to the first 4 seasons.
I do like Brienne being Knighted, but I agree with Pitch Meetings when it comes to Arya and Gendry.
Exactly, this episode is a perfect example of how, even at their best, the later seasons were just big spectacle and the occasional emotionally impactful moment pieced together with fan service and nonsensical storytelling.
Such a great episode
You're the best! Thanks!
Well, bring some tissues and an oxygen mask for the next episode. Also, you might consider making it a two parter because it’s going to get real busy.
And maybe some night vision goggles.... cause it is gettin' daaark.
Oh holy moly the next one…..
The only bright spot in the final season.
One of the best episodes of GoT, even if the second half of the season is extremely suspect.
I hope you turn up your brightness for the next episode
I sometimes think the show should have ended here. Do we need to know how the war ends, if they even survive? Here are our heroes at their highest, their noblest. Here we see all of them as their best selves. If storytelling is about the revelation of character, what more do we need to see?
Everyone wants a happy ending
'Here we see all of them as their best selves. If storytelling is about the revelation of character, what more do we need to see?'
Well, you answered the question yourself: When it comes to revelation of character your 'best self' only tells half the story at best.
"Arise", offcourse sofie gonna cry in that moment. And offcourse she gonna feel uncomfortable watching Arya it's like watching your daughter doing it. The feeling of the first two episode was huge and that's make the rest of episode this season dissapointment also huge😥 Also yes the reason Night king want to kill brand was weird and confusing.
Jaime : Arise !
Arya : Lie Down !

Story about the song..
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Jenny of Oldstones was a poor woman who won the heart of Prince Duncan Targaryen and married him against the wishes of his father, King Aegon V Targaryen, due to the fact that he was already betrothed to the daughter of Lord Lyonel Baratheon. Aegon attempted to have the marriage undone, but Duncan refused to leave Jenny and gave up his right to the throne.
Lyonel was so enraged at the offense, however, of the Targaryens breaking the promised marriage betrothal, that the Stormlands rose up in a brief but bloody rebellion, culminating in an epic trial by combat between Lord Lyonel and his old friend Ser Duncan the Tall, now Aegon V's Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.
She was the inspiration for many songs, which famously remember her "with flowers in her hair". Jenny was a very popular romantic figure in later songs for many a young maiden (like Sansa Stark): Jenny, the commoner girl for whom the heir to the Iron Throne gave up his inheritance out of love.
The song is about the Tragedy of Summerhall, right? When Egg and Sir Duncan and Prince Duncan and most of the Royal family die in the fire while trying to bring back dragons?
(And isn't there a popular theory that Rhaegar wrote the song?)
@@jcompton8507 I believe that in the lore, it's at the very least, one of the songs that Rhaegar liked to sing. The theory that he also wrote it does have a lot of support among the book readers.
when arya and Gendrey scene comes everybody react the same way: They think Arya is still a Child Just because she's short 🤣😂
No- the question is how old is she at this time?
if she has grown enough to brutally murder an entire house, she's grown enough to have some I guess 😋
@@bbwng54 and the reason people ask this question is that they still see them as a child although more than 7 years has passed, and that's ALOS because she's so short (and because people are no good at math)
When Sansa was raped by Ramsy she was youger than how Arya is now, but people didn't think about her age because raping was portraiyed as a bad act perpetuated by a bad person, and so it wasn't at odd with people feeling: people felt is as a bad thing and the show portraited it as the bad thing it was, but HOW DARE they show that a young girl can have a consensual intercourse HOW dare they portrait it as a good thing? this was definitely at odd with people's feeling. But of corse the showrunner did think it trough, and that's why it didn't happen until Arya was 18.
It's ludicrous that certain people even went to look at how old was the actress, since the intercoure wasn't actually on screen.
And still one of the best music in the show is in the next episode
Jenny of Oldstones and Summerhall Tragedy...
🌹🌹 Hi! I'm Branislav! I love this episode as much as you do! I won't tell you how the plot will continue, but according to millions of people around the world, this was the last good episode of this whole amazing saga! I love every single second of this fantastic episode! And I hate every single second of the other episodes of this season 8! 😨The two writers who betrayed millions of fans wrote season 8 stupidly and it was a big bad shock for the whole community! The two of them betrayed us all and I will never forgive them for this! All the beautiful characters in this TVseries were trampled to dust by two fools in the 8th season! A shame!
Thanks for your great reaction... 🌹🌹
@Baryon Domingo Yes, but then they smelled the money from Disney and ruined everything, the show and the fans! Game of Thrones was an amazing world full of great characters and they destroyed it for money! 😰
Hahaha! The final episodes are the best.
@@SerbAtheist 😨
Maybe for you, but not for millions of fans around the world! In several episodes of season 8, the writers destroyed all the plot lines and the development of the main characters! It could have been done much better! It could easily have been the 9th season!
Two writers ruined years of the series in a few episodes just because they wanted to go work for Disney on Star Wars movies and make a lot of money! It was a big disappointment for the fans who have loved this wonderful series for many years!
Samwell Tarly. Slayer of White Walkers. Lover of ladies.
Podrick Payne; lover, warrior, singer.
For the next episode, turn your TV or monitors Brightness and Backlight UP!! Cannot stress it enough! Enjoy!
Since spoilers are open now, Dany's reaction to Jon telling her that he was Aegon was immediate concern about how that affected her personally instead of understanding the story about her brother. It's a big deal of course, but she repelled away instantly at the name because she felt threatened. Her entire identity was formed around being the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She was always bloodthirsty and reactionary, but this is when she cracked.
22:00-23:06 best reaction
To be fair all Danny ever wanted was the Iron Throne l❤
Is the next episode will be another week? I cant wait that long please sofie
*Have You Seen "RRR" movie, If Not Then YOU SHOULD React "RRR" MOVIE, It is the biggest action film to come out of India, it has won many awards like Golden Globes, Hollywood Critics Association Awards.*
*And a song from this movie (Naatu Naatu), Has also Won an Oscar, and it will Blow up ur Views Count too....u will get lots of views ,u have never Imagine off) This Movie will Blow ur mind for sure.... It is Compilation of all the genres It has Action(like never seen Before), Drama, Emotional, a great Story line, and a Greatest dance of all time.*
"That's impossible" He rode a fucking dragon!
This was a good episode.
I can’t wait to know what Sofie’s take on the last season(s).
It’s so interesting to see what new viewers think.
that face you made at 14:52? bottle it!
It never made sense to me. If whole humanity is going to die anyway, why does it matter if bran dies first or last?
The whole plan makes no sense. Thormund seems to be the more rational guy in the room, and that's unsettling.
🤷🏿♂️Jaime Lanister pushed a boy out of a window and smiled about it, he is no better than Cersei and that is why he loves her.
I really hate when Dany tells Sansa that she's in Winterfell "fighting Jon's war". Firstly it's not Jon's war, it's everyone's war... the war for humanity. I also hate that she's lying about her motivation for being there. She pledged herself and her army to Jon after the Night King killed her dragon. She wanted vengeance for the killing of her "child". And she's been manipulating Jon ever since. Sansa is right to be distrustful of her.
Prepare for the next apisode with big truck tissues.
