The Ja Morant contract comments when Jorah hits free agency are among the most diabolical GOT comments I have ever heard in my entire reaction viewing career.
It’s his coping mechanism. He tried to laugh at Ned’s death. I’m the same way. I will laugh in the WORST circumstances, especially if caught off guard. Only time I’ve seen Hobbes serious was when Joffrey made Sansa look at her father’s head on the wall. That absolutely broke him.
Oberyn sadly let his anger be his downfall, but you need to know why he did that. He wanted the Mountain to say the name of the man who ordered him to kill Elia and her babies, which is Tywin Lannister, so Dorne could officially go to war against the Lannisters,but without the mountain naming tywin he he can't
Do you really believe that? Tywin was a great man, but a petty one. I'm sure he didn't forget that Rhaegar married her instead of Cersei,he order the kill and the rape
@@coldfusionbeam And what if he did? That doesn't change anything. It isn't a court. Dorn could go to war any day. Mountain words doesn't change anything. Tywin was smart and Oberin was stupid.
The reason why Oberyn wanted the Mountain to confess was to give Dorne a valid and concrete reason to start a War against the Lannisters seeing as the Mountain was under Tywin Lannisters orders when he killed Oberyn sister.
Tywin, Cersei, Tyrion, and Oberyn all said it in the previous episodes. Tywin had Ob' sister and children killed when he sacked the city and Jamie killed the Mad King.@@angelminaj617
What Littlefinger wants is more. No matter what he has, he will always want more. If he ever got the Iron Throne, he would start stirring up trouble in the Free Cities. To get more. The climb is all there is.
@@SwiftJustice Because he grew up the son of a lord whose holding was so tiny they were they lowest rung on the ladder you could be and still be considered lords. Then he was sent off to be fostered at Riverrun and saw how real lords lived.
I remember when this episode dropped i screamed in SHOCK at oberyn's death, he was my favorite and I didn't expect him to die so brutally after seemingly winning
"Sickly boys sometimes become powerful men." I like this quote because there are some very famous rulers in history who were like that, Augustus the 1st Roman Emperor for example.
I still can't rewatch that scene with his head popping. I close my eyes every time. It still haunts me 😂😂😂. I LOVED Oberyn. I wish we could have had him longer. And poor Tyrion looks like his fucking soul just left his body lol. Oberyn just got a little too comfortable. RIP to the Viper ❤
Greetings from Greece! Team Targaryen girl here. You guys are my best GoT reactors, I can´t believe your on point comments and how funny you react to things no one would expect. Love and peace.
In my view Tyrions confusion about his cousin and his beetles was less about the beetles and more about young Tyrion struggling with feeling sympathy and empathy in the world of nobility where such things just don't exist.
OMFG Thank you! I just caught up, I didn’t realize you were only in season 4. I love these reacts so much. Keep it up guys. I can’t tell you how much I love your work! 10/10.
Tyrion's arc is truly what makes this season unforgettable to me. And Mountain vs. Viper is one of the most iconic and barbaric scenes in the show! 😮🍈🍉 Rip Oberyn & thanks to Pedro for bringing him to life!!! He's one of my favorite portayels in the whole series. 😊 👑 ☀️
When Sansa is telling Lord Royce about meeting him when he was bringing his son, Ser Waymar to the wall...Ser Waymar was the man at the beginning of the show that was killed by a white walker. He was the leader of the group.
By lying for Littlefinger, Sansa now has a bit of power over him. If she had told the truth, Littlefinger would have been imprisoned or executed and Sansa would have been alone and she is being accused of conspiracy to murder Joffrey right now. At the moment, she is afraid to lose Littlefinger's protection, but at the same time she got a bit of leverage on him with that lie.
Roose Bolton is Warden of the North only because he murdered Robb Stark at The Red Wedding for Tywin Lannister. Tywin gave The Bolton’s The North and Winterfell for their service.
Episode nine: The Watchers on the Wall. EPIC. Much like the Blackwater was centered around the Red Keep, the entire episode centers around the battle at Castle Black.
Some fans say that Orson who smashed the beetles is a representing the author of the books. Smashing their little lives out, only to keep smashing again. Valar Morgulis
I remember exactly when I watched this episode for the first time, maaan all of us had our jaws dropped to the floor. I wish house of the dragon was even one tenth as hype as this shit was
obsessed with the sansa reactions as always.. i remember how concerned i was watching her walk down those stairs the first time i saw it too. 🤣 rip oberyn
Sansa says to Lord Baelish "I know what you want"... Later she walks down the stairs like a confident changed woman...It confuses me wha had happened. Did she sleep with Lord Baelish!?!...😮
That scene with Arya and the Hound, you have to imagine how long we waited for her to meet someone, some family member, someone close, she was so close with Ned, close with Rob and Cat, and now she arrives with her aunt after she has already died, that laugh of not being able to believe that the same thing is still happening to her, especially if you have been watching the series as it came out, you wait years only for that, and nobody knows Sansa is there, it is kind of funny, in a sad tired way haha
Love you guys so much! Great episode, as always. Shae specifically warned Sansa about Baylish and discussed what men want. Sansa said he was old, Shae said men don’t see it that way. Cercei warned Sansa what to expect if Stannis took Kings Landing (we’re in for a bit of a r*pe), and that a woman’s weapon was between her legs. Sansa, nearly r*ped in the city, has absorbed these lessons. She’s testing her influence and skill.❤
It didn't work out for him in the end, but a spear is actually an ideal weapon against The Mountain. You want as much distance as possible against someone that big.
Ok a couple of things. A quarterstaff or a spear is regarded as one of the greatest weapons ever made in the hand of a skilled person for centuries. Sure by todays standards it isnt going to do much in a gun fight but even within 20ft or so a knife is considered more deadly than a gun. The actor that plays The Mountain here is "Thor" Bjornsson, an Icelandic strongman. Dude is 6'9" and over 400 pounds. Man is no joke.
Varys absolutely knows about Jorah. He was the one to tell Ned that Jorah was spying on Danaerys for them. He also told Tywin at a small council meeting that Jorah was no longer spying on her for them. He said Jorah was no longer sending them any messages.
The Bolton's have a flayed man as their sigil, and their castle name is the Dreadfort... did you think they were men of virtue? 🤣 Edit: Also how you gonna do Ja like that? Never been a finer simp in all of Westeros
Sansa is growing up y’all. She will never be a victim again. She’s smart and beautiful and high born and becoming someone to be reckoned with! And doesn’t Littlefinger look pleased and in awe. You think she is fooled by him or does she have his number?
Weird fun historical fact: only rich people had swords and they only used them after their spears broke in actual human history. The range of a spear is a huge advantage, people carried swords as back up weapons or something they could use in a castle hallway. But sad and pathetic as it is, the spear was by far the most used weapon in human history. But for movie purposes they always make it look like everyone was running around with a sword because its more dramatic.
@@deussivenatura5805 lol i just meant a spear costs nothing to make compared to a sword so that was the sad and pathetic reference. Obviously they were better in almost every scenario. And then people invented the halberd that could kill people in armor too.
People never give Sansa the credit she deserves til it’s wayyy past due (out of superficial presumptive characterization typically)…ima just suggest you start catching it now rather than later 😉
Looking forward to catching up with the rest of these reactions... I'm looking forward to you guys realizing Sansa lying right here is what allowed Little Finger to be free and sell her off to Ramsay... Once again, she went through pain, and once again it was her fault.
You're far enough in the story to get the beetle analogy now, it's about the wheel that Daenarys claims she wants to break, the analogy is representative of the systems of power that are used to crush people day after day in service of nothing. Devon was pretty spot on when he said that Orson was killing the beetles because he had control over them and that control made him feel like he was safe. Same for the Lannister family as a whole, they have armies, gold, land, titles, prestige, fear that keeps people at bay and ironically the family is destroying itself from the inside. Now imagine Tywin Lannister as Orson, can you even really say that Tywin however capable he may be, is even happy? That's what the legacy he's fighting for is worth, bending the world to make something that nobody even really cares about but him real, his children all despise him for it in their own ways. So what's the point? It's all for nothing, pointless suffering because that's the way thing is. People accept status quo and submit never realizing there is no reason it HAS to be this way, we can just change things, but we never do. Usually we're forced into change by circumstances later on, when the system buckles under its' own weight and crashes.
Everyone always wants to talk about oberyn and the mountain after this episode, but what in the heck is tyrions speech about the simpleton smashing beetles about? that people are sometimes cruel for no reason? is that it? its possibly his last speech and one of the only scenes we see him 1 on 1 with jamie, and its just about beetles. the show is making it seem like its such an important monologue.
It's a metaphor of sorts. Remember, he starts out talking about how the gods judge a man by having two other men try to kill each other. Men are beetles, gods are men. Why are they doing it? What is the point? And he never does learn the answer. I haven't decided what the significance of the mule kick killing yet, though. Maybe it implies that men will kill each other less if there were no gods?
"Today is not the day I die" - Oberyn, the day that he died.
Mountain BURST his bubble
That’s cold.. but accurate.
Theres a theory he actually intended to die to motivate dorne to go to war against the lannisters. It explains why he used a slow acting poison instead of a fast one, Why he was so intent on making the mountain admit what he did and why he had one last drink and kiss before going into the arena. He knew he probably couldnt beat the mountain and get him to admit when he did without dying in the process.

That’s a retarded theory.
His fighting style and words show that he never intended to die.
Fun fact, Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) was hired for his ability to play Reek not Theon.

Sansa learned from Cersei to tell enough of the truth to make your lies believable, she’s learning to play the game!
The line, “Don’t leave me alone in this world,” just shatters me.

Tywin didn't order the murder. He just didn't tell the Mountain NOT to kill her.
