During the face off between Jon and Ramsay, notice that it was a Mormont shield that Jon used to protect himself from Ramsay's arrows. There were only 62 Mormont men in Jon's army, but at least one of them made it inside Winterfell so that Jon could use his shield. The small contingent from Bear Island were a key part of the victory. And Sansa's little "Mona Lisa" smile at the end was pure gold.
Wow, I never noticed that shield. A tiny detail yet adds so much more. Every time I watch this show I find something new
Key part? Really? Right, there of course no possibility of luck or simply mathematical variation of something happening in this world.
"Every man from Bear Island fights the strength of ten mainlanders." --- Lady Lyanna Mormont.
@@el-carry4624 Perhaps "key" was a bit of an overstatement, but the point I was trying to make was that of the 2000-odd fighters, there was a low probability that a Bear islander would have been one of the 20 or so men entering Winterfell after Wun Wun breached the gate. No need to be such a Karen. 🙄
@@el-carry4624 like getting hundreds of extra support at the end of a battle? It has happened before in real history
Ramsy thinking “my dogs eat people” will scare wildlings
The wildlings “my cousin eats people to “
😂😂😂💀
S1E1 on this channel: Oh no, I can't watch this
S6E9 on this channel: *Squeals in gleeful delight as dogs chew his face off*
I love this show.
🤣
The show made monsters out of all of us! 😉
@@brienneoffriggintarth5510 The Hound normalized the previously forbidden "C" word in my household...
Truth!
Literally Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. lol From innocent princess to full blown savage at the gate.
SANSA:"no one can protect me."
we all know who is no one👀
Ramsey's death was even more satisfying than Joffrey's.
Nope lol. That little fkr turning purple choking to death is a blessing from the old gods and the new.
I still enjoyed Joffrey's slightly more cos he killed Ned
When Davos picks up the toy and the crimson sky behind him looks like Shireen's funeral pyre...that's a beautiful shot! The shot of the white horse emerging out of the middle as all the horses charge...beautiful! That whole 30 sec clip of Jon rearranging Ramsay's face and that "Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear" ending...I can rewind those a million times lol! The VFX Artists React channel did a frame by frame analysis of Battle of the Bastards a little while back that has a ton of views. They called it some of the most meticulous examples of blending CGI and various other aspects of cinematography for a battle that they've ever seen! All these years later it's still impeccable.
Ramsay does exactly what William the Conqueror did in Battle of Hastings. That should answer any debate about the plausibility of the strategies applied. The heaps of bodies is what Bosworth Field, Tewkesbury, St Albans, and other War of the Roses battlefields looked like. The close range combat, the human pile, the stomping, even the horse charge was done irl. The horses charged full speed and stopped about five feet from him. No room for error. The filming location was a field in Belfast, in mud, slush and rain over weeks with an unprecedented number of extras. The CGI is flawless. Deep diving into the three main questions raised about the battle. First is Jon being too lucky. If that one-take makes him look too "lucky", that's deliberately done to show no amount of skill would save you in a battle without luck. The camera follows him, but he's not the only one going through the same hell. All hundreds or thousands of survivors in every medieval battle had the same "luck".Second is Jon's thought process. Jon didn't chase Ramsay cause he was fooled and lured out, he chased Ramsay cause he was mentally ready for and almost yearned a respectable death in the battlefield over the deceit and treachery that lead to his death the last time around. He was looking for an easy out. Rickon running in a serpentine pattern wouldn't have mattered either as Ramsay had hundreds of archers pointing at him. He was simply toying with his food. Third is the Vale being ex machina. Well sometimes predictability is good. The long list of subversions it took to get here warrants a rare ex machina imo. The logistics is the same as Stannis arriving at the Wall or Tywin's assault on King's Landing. Tywin didn't tell anyone either. Sansa's only option was to hide it from Jon as righteous Jon "Stark" would've outright rejected Petyr's offer. No wonder the episode was as enormously popular as it was, they aimed to please the vast majority and not the insignificant minority of terminally unhappy people in the forums. The finale has a lifetime worth of shockers, so this was the golden opportunity to give us that rare happy ending. If they did something subversive, the ultraintellectuals would've cried about it like they did in Mother's Mercy, which was subversively excellent.
The significance of Jon acquiring the Mormont shield to protect himself from Ramsey’s arrows means at the very least that one of lady Mormont’s soldiers made it into winterfell. Remember when lyanna said that they fight with the strength of ten mainlanders? Most people miss this
For me it was so sad to see Rickon run towards his half brother, one who they knew wasn’t a full brother but a bastard- but in the end that is the only person he has to run to. Not Robb or his father or mother. His half brother is his one and only person who he has, who’s willing to fight and die for him. And it is so bittersweet the love rickon probably had in that moment as he ran towards Jon Snow. Finally towards a family member who can protect him. We often don’t think about the fact that rickon was a little baby and he basically never had his family around , with his life being entirely on the run 😞
Dammit stap it, your post made my choked up. lol
well where else would he run¿ towards ramsay¿
@@Inky_wt maybe next time read the comment and understand the underlying context
You at the outset,"I don't know about this,I don't like seeing a lot of violence."
You this episode,squealing,laughing and yelling with pure delight at Ramsey being beaten to a pulp and then getting his face chewed off by his hounds.
GOT strikes again,haha.
Great reaction,you're probably the most insightful reactor for this show that I've seen yet.
Kit Harrington really did stand there in a field with those horses running at him.
Cast call this battle BOB. Here's a 30 min behind the scenes short: ua-cam.com/video/usVSR7_p_BM/v-deo.html
Ned, Robb, Catelyn and now Rickon. It seems Starks can only die in episode 9 of a season 😉
I agree. Hats off to the Ramsay Bolton actor. He made the payoff what it is in a show with very little payoffs. I still remember I couldn't even believe it was finally happening when Jon picked up the Bear Island shield! Poetic it had to be the bear island shield hah!
The thing that made me feel Rikons death was not that another Stark had been killed... It was how the way he died would have affected Jon. I felt bad for Jon.
11:04 ... notice Danny's left hand. She is pointing to where she wants Drogon to land. It took me a while to notice this. But she now has full control over the dragons, and this scene shows that. For years Daenerys struggled with control ... I don't know if it was her second "burning", but she now controls them fully.
Oh ... and she only burnt ONE ship. She knew what she was doing.
Full control? Not at all the case. Dragons are not controlled.
@@MrCzerillo I guess she was pointing at a pile of rat shit on the ground then. LoL
Your mad face, i.e. when the giant gets a spear in the hand, is so endearing. Lol. :) Great reaction, as always.
i was concerned that she is going to pop a blood vessel from her head everytime she growled and made that angry child face. 🤯
Best episode for me, I believe one of the best rated episodes on rating sites as well, so well made, battle was amazing, one shot of John fighting for like 2 minutes without cuts is so good and hype, everything was so well done in this episode!
No2 for me only behind the next episode
I get goosebumps every time I watch this epic epic episode! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I think sansa didn’t say something to Jon about Baelish and the vale because she didn’t know if he’d actually help. I mean petyr only ever screwed her over so wouldn’t be surprising if he did it again here.
knowing that there is a possibility, I'd probably want to delay the battle for a week or two, for good measure.
Amazing so many don't see this or totally forget S4 and S5 and Sansa spells it out for them " You saved me from monsters who murdered my family and gave me to monsters who murdered my family " LF blue any chance of Sansa being with him forever the bridge is burned forever.
If Jon had known that the Knights of the Vale were coming that would just have been another army of men for him to lose with his rank incompetence.
@@pollyparrot9447 bro what 😭 ? Vale army is much bigger , ramsay won't able to use this same strategy this time it worked because jons army was small 😑
How fucking dumb can people be🤧
Calypso I love the hate in your eyes when you see and hear Ramsey. SO epic. The actor did a great job.
"It was a fitting ending for the character whom The Atlantic’s readers determined to be the actual worst on television, across shows and genres, and whom The New York Times also dubbed, without irony, the “Most Hated Man on TV.” As my colleague Lenika Cruz has noted, one of the challenges Game of Thrones’s creators have faced as they have attempted to create plot lines that marry literary merit and fan service was to kill Ramsay off-his death was almost inevitable-in a way that would offer a satisfying mix of karmic justice and audience catharsis. Ramsay has inflicted so much pain, on his victims and by extension on his TV viewers, that few things would seem quite appropriate to that task. “He confounds many of the rules that would usually apply to small-screen villains,” Cruz wrote, “so it’s unusually difficult to imagine a departure that would hit all the right storytelling notes.” And yet: With the death Ramsay was ultimately given-particularly bloody, particularly painful, particularly degrading-Game of Thrones managed to give its worst character an ending that was, to the extent such things can be, fitting. This was not only because of the what-goes-around-comes-around mauling Ramsay endured at the hands (or, more precisely, the jaws) of his own weaponized beasts. It was also-and more so-because of the words Sansa sent him away with. Ramsay’s death was, in the end, not about Ramsay so much as it was about Sansa. A show that is deeply interested in its own portrayals of justice gave its audience an execution that was bloody and sticky and screaming and salivating; the scene got its gravitas, though, from the death warrant Sansa, Ramsay’s victim, read at its start. It was the scene’s words that gave it its moral heft." - *The Atlantic*
The battle of encirclement is based upon Hannibal’s great victory at Cannae. Approximately 40 thousand Carthaginians drew 80,000 Romans into a great circle. Almost all 80,000 died, with half reported to have died by crushing suffocation as the outer rings pressed inward. This battle is still taught in war college. In fact, it’s precepts we’re used in the first Gulf War.
War college?
@@maverickmurphy military academies and officer training schools
@@krichardj oh lmao I'm dumb
They also used elements of the US Civil War.
@18:55... While Sansa could have mentioned she sent the raven...ALL indications ( Sansa scared, threatening to kill herself, etc. )are she hasn't gotten a reply; and what does she tell Jon when he asks: When , Where, How many,ETC.: foot soldiers or cavalry , siege weapons again Sansa doesn't have an answer for any of that; She herself doesn't know if LF was still at Moat Calin when she wrote the letters MANY weeks after she and Jon left the wall ( 1600-2200 mile trek ), Jon can't really plan with no info or wrong info and if Sansa tells and LF doesn't show...what then ?
Sansa gave Jon what she knew for sure, had no other real info to give; and Jon also showed Sansa he's thinking like Ned and Robb and that's not working with someone like Ramsey.
Ramsey has all the advantages : Winterfell, more troops, food, and most of all...RICKON STARK !
Jon, Robb and Ned don't play mind games; everyone Sansa's been around well, That's all they DO.
Sounds good but Sansa did insist to be listened to, and it's very difficult to listen to someone who doesn't have anything to tell you!
@@realSimoneCherie She did have something, how Ramsay's mind works, Jon doesn't hear.
Again Sansa can't give Jon info on what she doesn't have or know.
your facial expressions and reaction during the battle was the best 😀
" clean shaven fuck" 😂😂😂 loved your anger. great reaction. could watch you all day 😄
🤣🤣🤣 This Girl is a spitfire and a savage! ❤❤❤
This Battle was indeed a masterpiece. Greatest battle I've ever seen on screen and it's amazing that it happened on a TV show. But now you owe a big thank you to Daddy Baelish. 😁 The dragons looked phenomenal as well. Best-looking dragons and dragon special effects I had ever seen at the time and since.
Haha, a lot of people when they see Joffrey die are happy... because they didn't see Ramsay yet. Seeing him die is extremely comforting, more so by Sansa's hand.
I said at the last finale that a constant theme of GoT is that every season people crave for a comeuppance, every season the carrot gets dangled and at the last moment it gets snatched away brutally. A running gag of the show was people saying "if so and so dies/lives I'm done!" But there's a strange attraction to getting hit over the head with morbidity over and over again that made us keep coming back for more. Probably as you start sensing from the build time alone that when you do get that elusive comeuppance, it'll be glorious. Well there it is at last. Imo it's every bit as cathartic as it would be at the end of a long road full of heartbreaks. The lack of instant fanservice makes it easy to lose sight of the fact that the show became a phenomenon for the very reason that it didn't give you an inch, it made you go through the grinder first. So little surprise that Bastards used to be one of the most 'reacted to' tv episodes as you can see the gamot of emotions it brought out from those fans who'd hopelessly waited years for the Stark wolf to fly over Winterfell once again. The Roman encirclement captures the random cruel chaoticness of war well. This was one for the ages I like the finale more!
When Jon faced the oncoming enemy cavalry alone, he was certain his death was imminent, and he accepted that, as he took off his sword belt (as did Stannis at Winterfell). It was just a slight weight and movement constraint, and he no longer had use for it; he wouldn't sheathe his sword again. Jon was soul-weary, as in when he initially protested against any more fighting when he was talking to Sansa at Castle Black, and when he told Melisandre not to bring him back if he fell.
Well goodbye Ramsey. As evil as he was he was a lit character that was really brought to life by Iwan. Like his humor and total psycho self was great on screen, he wasn’t dull I’ll say that.
R.I.P Wun-wun. I hardly got to know thee. B.O.B was truly an EPIC GAME-CHANGER! The director of that episode and the finale is one of the showrunners for the GoT prequel House of the Dragon. He's directed three episodes, including the pilot. And in latest news, he is stepping down as showrunner after Season 1 and will be replaced by another GoT director. He’ll stay on as executive producer though.
"the showrunner" is Miguel Sapochnik btw;) who also did Hardhome, The bells, The Long Night, The gift for example.
Former showrunner, now... Apparently season 1 will be his only season according to recent reports. Would suck to lose him as a director, but he wasn't a part of the writing process so it shouldn't be a huge loss except for the way he directs the big episodes which is 2nd to none.
You see how Jon faced 5,000 men alone???? From a kid till now....he's never been scared!!!! (Afraid) lol such courage and nobility
One of the best episodes ever. And for all those Danni fans, this is not the first time she turned to mass slaughter as a means of expressing her disapproval of opposition to her justice. The lady is fire.
You seem a bit confused, the people pissed weren’t “Dani fans”, they were “good and consistent writing” fans, but yeah keep chirping
@@AL-fl4jk I can’t make a universal judgement on good writing, but consistently from the tenth episode of season one, “they will die screaming”, to now Danni’s first inclination is burn them, crucify them, behead them, turn their cities into dust. Danni is Bomber Command, not Peace Corp. Only her advisors have just as consistently turned her to more proportional response. Take away her advisors. Head for the fire exit.
One of the best episodes visually. I eagerly await the next episode!
35:53 "Yes YES! Break his FACE!" ... I remember your first episode saying you weren't sure if you could handle extreme violence! Ha! That sweet summer child!
everyone always talks about the john/ramsey battle but for me the best part will always be the beginning ❤️🔥 can’t count how many times i’ve watched it
i disagree, the second half is mutch better
I love both parts, but I know what you’re saying. “Remind them what happened when Daenerys Stormborn and her dragons came to Meereen.” There’s something about the epic Daenerys scenes that feel like history being witnessed - and like even the people living it can sense it.
I just now realized how they opposed these last couple episodes against each other with the sieges. At Riverun the Blackfish was willing to wait it out knowing they couldn't get in. Here Ramsey battled it out killing lots of men and only then resorted to a siege after. Jon had a giant though to break the gates. One siege ended moderately peacefully while the other was a bloodbath.
9:10 EVERYONE REMEMBER DANI's thought process here. Just incase you forgot what Targaryen's are.
Out of all of the episodes of GOT, this is hands-down my favorite.
No2 for me only behind the next episode
The best battle of the entire series.
Purists retrospectively : we hate everything!!
*Meanwhile actual publications* :
"Review: 'Battle of the Bastards' Is One of Game of Thrones's Best Episodes Ever" - *Time Magazine*
"Game of Thrones: Battle of the Bastards is true cosmic comeuppance"
It was the most visceral and immersive battle yet, a nightmarish slurry of blood, mud and freshly-opened guts - and perfect catharsis for fans - *The Guardian*
"Game of Thrones : How the Show Found a Measure of Justice for Sansa Stark"
The death that offers both justice and catharsis has been, for one character in particular, an elusive thing. But Game of Thrones found a way to achieve both." - *The Atlantic*
"HBO’s “Game of Thrones” has been nominated for several Emmys this year, including outstanding drama series. Many have said this season is the best yet, and I have to agree. The spectacle of it all, the character development, the unfolding of the plot, the various themes from religious intrigue to political alliances have captivated audiences from beginning to end." - *Forbes Magazine*
"Ramsay Bolton of Game of Thrones is the Most Hated Man on TV beating out Hannibal Lecter" - *New York Times*
Why Game of Thrones' Ramsay Bolton Is the Worst Character on Television - *The Atlantic*
"Twitter Is Delighted With That Gory Death on Game of Thrones" - *Washington Post*
"Sansa's Speech To Ramsay On 'Game Of Thrones' Was The Perfect Way To Silence Her Abuser" - *Den of Geeks*
(no surprise for something that won more Emmys than your favorite shows combined and had a level of fan popularity in 2015-2016 that will probably never be matched by another TV show ever again)
*A Longer Excerpt* :
"It was a fitting ending for the character whom The Atlantic’s readers determined to be the actual worst on television, across shows and genres, and whom The New York Times also dubbed, without irony, the “Most Hated Man on TV.” As my colleague Lenika Cruz has noted, one of the challenges Game of Thrones’s creators have faced as they have attempted to create plot lines that marry literary merit and fan service was to kill Ramsay off-his death was almost inevitable-in a way that would offer a satisfying mix of karmic justice and audience catharsis.

Love the primal emotions this brings out in you. Outstanding reaction.
Fave seen ever Jon facing them alone pulling his sword out. Badass!!!! The music everything. I dont know what kit harington does but he seems like the most badass man on the planet!!!! So hot 🔥 🥵 too
Seven blessings iwar rheon to bring this character to life 🤌🏽
Bless you 🤧
I liked him in American Gods, but I was so damn suspicious of him the entire time!!
It's a shame that the Greyjoys don't know, like we do, that Dany has no problem not honoring an agreement. Why would she ever let them control the Iron Islands?
I agree. Hats off to the Ramsay Bolton actor. He made the payoff what it is in a show with very little payoffs. I still remember I couldn't even believe it was finally happening when Jon picked up the Bear Island shield!
I agree that the artwork at the beginning was very “beautiful and vibrant,” as you say. The colors are somewhat mesmerizing, and they suite you very much because honestly, you are very beautiful and vibrant, inside and out. You are a joy to watch.
I hope you have a magical day.
Fun fact: the director’s favorite shot of this episode isn’t any of the battle sequences. It’s the moment the dogs start eating Ramsay, and Sansa ever so slightly backs away… and then decides to continue watching Ramsay get eaten alive without flinching ONCE!
It makes way more sense that the Boltons fall at the hands of the family they betrayed than a rando like Stannis. If the Boltons lost a season or two ago, it would've been any. other. show. It was special to the masses because the river of shit they had to wade to get there. Think back how long it's been, where these characters were when we started! What other show would have the balls? Mellisandre saying "don't you wanna chase the rats out of Winterfell" or "welcome home Lady Stark, the North remembers". So many teases. Nothing was given they made you earn it. The pleasure of dogfood Ramsay doesn't exist without the winter wedding. The last two episodes didn't exist in a random vacuum. All the prior season bleakness goes into creating the mood for the eventual turnover. The longer the slowburn was the more memorable these moments became. One can disagree, it's all subjective. What is not subjective is this being in the IMDB Top 10 Episodes List, or the viewership numbers of these two seasons or the 24 Emmys the two seasons won in total.
Director Miguel Sapochnik (bummed he's leaving HOTD) did a deep dive on the trampling scene being a metaphorical reincarnation of Jon. Jon by the time of the battle is a man beaten down by circumstance. His increasingly agitated interactions with the people closest to him is reflective of his inner despondence and self-doubt. This is a man betrayed by his own Brothers. A man who's lost faith. That famous one take of Jon in the field dodging arrows and horses is the height of his resignation to fate. That's the point where he's on auto pilot with a singular purpose to kill or die. Probably best way to remain alive in a pitched battle, when you've already accepted you're as good as dead. As the crush starts and he gets buried under a mass of humanity, he's finally forced to slow down. There's a close up of his face looking almost serene, like he's finally at peace with the end. But in this process of letting go he also starts to regain the humanity he had lost after being betrayed. From under the stampede he finds a new desire to live stronger than before, and as he comes up gasping for air, he emerges a man reborn. THIS, is the real Resurrection of Jon Snow. Or as Sapochnik calls it, 'the vaginal birthing shot' lol. It's a parable for the reawakening of The North. The turning point. Jon being raised above the stampede mirrors another similar turning point moment. To S3 finale "Mhysa" where Dany is held aloft the human tide, except the circumstance is turned over its head figuratively and literally. Btw after hearing the slow sad version for so long, the "triumphant reprise" of the Stark theme as they break through the Bolton lines is perfect use of emotive BGM.
I like that you noticed tyrions body language, his turning away from the masters execution. I thought it was a great subtle acting/directing choice to non-verbally emote tyrions growing distaste for violence.
You have no reason to apologize about Richon and you did have a pretty good reaction!! This is one of my all-time favorite episodes. I'll never forget the anxiety I felt when watching Jon underneath all those men! You're right. Sansa was gone when Ramsey said he hadn't fed his dogs. Also, I'm thinking that maybe she didn't say anything about her letter to Littlefinger because as she says, ">>>anyone would be a fool to trust Littlefinger". Also, if Richon didn't have enough sense to zig-zag, oh, well....
i never understood why sansa didn't just tell jon that they have the support of vale.
For the dramatic reveal
i always assumed in case it was too late or they didn't come, but dramatic reveal sounds likely as well
Because she's "sooo smart" guys! Arya keeps saying it for some reason so it must be true 👍
May be John will not entertain little finger
She did but it went to his spam folder
The greatest battle sequence in television history
Greatest fight sequence in history? You should watch Lord of the Rings - The two towers
I said television that's a movie
@@yedhukrishna855 I think the majority would include movies tbh
How did Sam find the white walker horn buried under random snow in S2 from flimsy marks left years ago? Did you ask questions about that? It's way more probable that you will find the toy rummaging through an obvious structure of a funeral pyre, since it was said they set up camp in the same place Stannis did.
How did Sansa know Ramsay hadn't fed his dogs in days if she left by that time. GOTCHA GAME OF THRONES. GOTCHA. Or maybe Jon, who Ramsay told it to, relayed it to her. You shoud've maintained this level scrutiny from the start instead of developing it this season.
Sanza's revenge on Ramsey is one of my favorite scenes of the entire series; she became a Queen in my eyes at this moment 👑😍
The dogs began their meal with a little light “finger food.”
@@launabanauna8958 😂
She became Danaerys at this moment
And thus, Cersei. I wonder if she'll ever play Sarah Connor? 😂
Continuity error. I just noticed that she had ridden off before he says the thing that she repeats back to him at the end. So we have to fill in the gap that she heard that from the Jon or his men who were there.
The arrival of the vale with the Stark theme playing and the cut scene to Sansa and LF is one of my favorite moments of the show. Idc how obvious it was it still felt gotdamn great and going by all the reactions most felt the same way. The northern arc took me on seasons worth of emotional rollercoster and payed it off in the end, that wins out anyday over everything else plus I don't see it as much different from a similar climax we had to a previous battle. From Jon refusing the Stark name to the Bear Island scroll, it has been the most harrowing of slowburns. It was absolutely time for a pay off and I'm glad they didn't blue ball it. This was universally regarded as a classic not just because of the battle but due to the closure it provides to a very long torment. There couldn't have been a more satisfying end to a character that was once dubbed the most hated villain on TV.
"Your words will disappear."
"Your house will disappear. "
"Your name will disappear."
"All memory of you will disappear."
"Don't look away Father will know".....
Nice. The Knights of the Vale crashing the siege lines is incredible 😍 👌 I can't believe you already reacted to HotD on Patreon
I watched this by myself, eventually I watched it all alone, I would get so into, I swear I went into a coma Haha, but when Jon was beating Ramsey I gave it a standing ovation Episode 10 is excellent
that tyrion dany conversarion about the mad king burning cities is a signficant warning for our queen's impulses and well placed where it's gonna be the last thing on your mind. tyrion talking about the caches stored under king's landing by the mad king is also a cleverly placed hint of what's to come. this is one remarkable episode! there's the superficial aspects of the battle which look optically outstanding. but the battle is as much a tale of the demise of jon/north's soul under betrayal, death and occupation and its rise from the ashes as it is about the fighting itself. that reverse parallel with Daenerys from the ending of the third season is perfect and makes even more sense with what's to come next.
Been so excited to see you watch this one. Excited for the next one as well! You can pull up on UA-cam the filming of this battle and some of the others to see how it was done. Amazing!
when i find myself running from arrows i ALWAYS zig zag.
*"And whoever kills that fuckin horn blower will stand in bronze above the shores of Pyke!!! What is dead may never die!!!"*
The last line of Theon Greyjoy's William Wallace YOLO speech in that fateful Season 2 finale right before he was betrayed to the Boltons. Did you make that connection when Ramsay was blowing a horn at Theon's face while he was being tortured? Welp, here we finally are. What a wicked voyage it has been. 👩🦰+🐶
There’s one of my favorite characters gone. R.I.P Ramsay. 😭
Battle of the Bastards is a brilliant episode. It is literally the closest GOT comes to mainstream crowd pleasing. For the first time an unambiguously good and bad sides fight it out and a remorseless psychopath receives his very just comeuppance. Sometimes things really are black and white. This show breaks all patterns.
Yeah.....
When I think of what it set out to achieve, purifying vengeance for the Starks, bastard bowl lives up to its reputation. It still gets me hype just like it did when I first saw it. After holding off for so long it's that full pitch battle that we came close to many times in the past but always got denied. This time they drop the motherload to put a bow on the story spanning these two seasons of the slow death of Jon's spirit ever since Ygritte, a death more meaningful than the death of his flesh at the wall. A death that parallels the Northern death under Bolton yoke, with the Batttle for Winterfell being both their emblematic revival and restoration. And the revival of a lineage since you've seen the finale. A restoration driven home as Ned sees the birth of Rhaegar's heir and Jon is crowned King in the North simultaneously. This is a goated GoT episode! It can't be said enough that vengeance would not be as sweet as it was without the grueling and protracted buildup. It's the virtues of patience, good things come to those who wait.
These last two are pure epicness! What a crazy battle. Never seen anything like this before! The Stark yellow over Winterfell once more 😭. It's finally their time. Let the wolves roam!!
"F*cking kill them!" Definitely no longer a Woman of Summer. Winter has you.
Can one imagine the horrors of battle? Not until it is actually experienced. Today's warfare is much more impersonal, if we were to return to this type of fighting, war would cease as we have known it for the last 100 years. Return to the sword and no one wants to be in that fight. MMA is about as close as one comes to no rules fighting. Who knows where that will lead. But finally Ramsey got what he has deserved for two seasons? I am looking forward to your review of the next episode.
18:15 I don’t know why she never mentioned the knights of the Vale in her desperation to be heard but seems craven for her to keep that CRITICAL info to herself.
There was a "behind the scenes" video showing how they shot the battle of the bastards, including that iconic Jon facing the charging horses scene (which was shot with actual horses not CGI) using a very long telephoto lens to compress the visual distance. I don't have the link, but you should definitely seek that out, it was a great documentary of how they staged, blocked out, and shot that battle sequence.
There are others, but I think this is the one I was thinking of above.

Sansa did leave early, but Jon, Lady Mormont, Davos, Tormund and many red shirts were there; I don't think it's out of the ordinary if Sansa asked what happened afterwards at the parley and either of those mentioned would fill her in.
The painting seems to be from the Netflix opening 🤣🤣🤣
The purist coping and seething over battle of the bastards has become particularly visceral over time as it really chaps their azz that loved every second of this epicness was. All the revisionist coping in the world won't be able to change the objective fact that this has become embedded in modern pop culture forever due to the tremendous acclaim it received. Look no further than just how much the character Jon Snow has become embedded in our pop culture. None of that can be erased. This was the most legendary shit when it dropped. Don't ever let these cl0wns get it twisted for you. Always funny when hypocritical mfs in freefolk who think it was genius that the Tyrells teleported from Reach to Blackwater without no one seeing a thing or Tyrion had the world's moat dumbass backup plan or charging at Stannis' massive army or Loras Tyrell came in at the perfect moment to knock the night's shade out of Cersei's hand prosletyze about those same things here.
Why nobody is thanking Petyr Baelish for saving Jon,Sansa and their supporters 😅😅
Weymar Royce, Ep 1 :
"They introduced the character and then killed him? It's like he didn't even matter! What was the point of generic prologue guy?! Dammit D&D! HACKS! GoT was dead to me when Weymar Royce didn't get to say "let's dance"!! from line 23 of page 7 of the first chapter. GoT was dead to me in the first 5 mins of the show!!"
Hell you can do this just replacing Weymar thing with Yori, Yoren, Rorge, Maester Luwin, Ser Roderick, Roz, Dontos the fool, Rorge who Arya killed, Lysa Arryn, etc, etc, in Daddy's Goomba's blessed seasons.
I just realized watching,
he says his dogs are hungry for 7 days after sansa was gone so when she said it in the end sccne it doesnt make sense. i mean obvs people caan argue that jon or someone told her after the meeting in the first few mins of the ep but it seems odd to me sansa would ask what ramsey said after she walked out not caring for whatever he had to say
maybe when they were going to placed with the dogs, somebody told her "watch out! they haven't eat in 7 days"
@@fernandof.2225 i guess. we can make a lot of assumptions but tbh we can mostly scratch it up to the directors not doing their work better.
It's extremely believable that she would ask the others about what happened after she left... and that threat was probably the first thing they told her. Not really a stretch to figure out.
Ramsay being beaten was so rewarding. If only it had been done earlier by Stannis
Sansa's letter... A redditor deciphered part of it his are in the curve brackets; but HBO had ALL of Sansa's letters on their website; I had all the copies, but loss this one in a crash or moving files, I saved my notes and the square brackets are what I saw on the website.::
Sansa's Letter to Lord Baelish:
[Lord Baelish] ([You] promised) to protect me. Now you have a chance to fulfill your promise. [The] Knights of the Vale are under your command. Ride north for Winterfell. Lend us your aid and I shall see to it that you are (well)/[properly] rewarded..........
Sansa Stark
Man what an amazing insane balls to the wall experience this was! Out of the blood, dirt, spilled intestines and a mountain of dying men, ascends the great hope! It's the dawn after the dark! The reign of Richard III is over. Henry Tudor wins his crown in the field and becomes Henry VII. All rejoice!! Mellisandre's prophesy of seeing the Bolton banners being lowered to the ground is fulfilled. After Episode 6 of Season 2, finally the North belongs to the Starks once more. It's a homecoming fitting for the Kings of Winter.
some movies don't have battle scenes this good
I just finished S6 ep 9 , i haven't got this much satisfaction in anyone's death (not even Joffrey's) , this was freaking amazing , i was a like a psycho , i watched him die with a smile 😏😏😏.
Just gained yourself a new subscriber loved your genuine reaction
love your reactions " clean shaven fuck" lol i just burst out laughing HAHAHAHAHA
Great reacrion, love your content keep it up i feel every reaction
How did Sansa know Ramsay hadn't fed his dogs in days if she’d rode off by then? Gotcha Game of Thrones!!! Gotcha!!! *Or maybe Jon relayed it to her after Ramsay told it to him* …jeez louise. How did Sam find the white walker horn in S2 buried under random snow from those flimsy markers left years ago that somehow survived all the extreme climate? That’s actually way less probable than Davos finding the toy by rummaging through an obvious abandoned funeral pyre, since they are in the same place Stannis set up camp. I only wish this degree of scepticism was consistent and didn’t curiously develop in S6. Btw running in zig zag would not have saved Rickon. There were hundreds of archers with their bows aimed at him. Ramsay was simply toying with his food.
We always cheer Jon Snow's suggestion at one-on-one combat to end things quick without the massive loss of life, and "what will Ramsey's men think when they find out he wouldn't fight for them?" But we're quick to forget Robb was offered the same option by Jaime, and we thought him clever to deny Jaime that battle. Robb sacrificed 2000 of his men just to have that conversation w Jaime.
Why would Robb fight when he already defeated him ?
@@pr-tj5by You're confusing "captured" with "defeated." To be fair though, had Robb v Jaime happened, a win for Jaime would have been a Lannister win for the war... a win for Robb would have just further angered Tywin, and, as Robb explains to his uncle, doesn't need his men nearly as much as the North needs theirs.
@@steffurness Whispering Wood was a Stark victory over the Lannisters so there's no confusion, Robb Stark was kicking Tywin every time but he screwed up within his own ranks ie Karstark Frey etc
@@pr-tj5by Ok. I don't mean to be short, but didn't want to leave you hanging in this exchange. My original comment was from almost a year ago, and I've recently been listening to some deep-dive commentaries on GrrM's world. The Robb v Jaime stuff is very surface-level, and frankly, Robb's arc is probably my least favorite, right next to Cat's.
@@steffurness Yeah well I Iiked Robb but was never a huge Jamie fan, this so called Jamie arc halted in S6 when he told Edmure that he would kill every Tully in the castle just to get back to Cersei, sounded like he was looking forward to pushing kids off towers again,
You go girl, best reactions ever!!! Snap those fingers and ring that bell! Ramsey's dogs, my my.
This battle is awesome.
Favorite episode 🔥❤️
Over the years I’ve changed my opinion about Sansi not not telling Jon about Littlefinger and the Vale Calvary. She said you have to do something unorthodox to trick Ramsey and so I give her unwillingness to tell Jon as a battle tactic to get Ramsey to totally commit his army to the battlefield.
But I am a still irritated that when they were going to all the Houses looking for allies and troops, Jon never brought up the fact about why don’t we write Littlefinger and Robin in the Vale. Robin Aryn is a blood relative to Sansi and the Aryn’s are long time allies of the Starks. You would think he would have thought of them as he is brainstorming what remaining troops were left. Now he might have been told the Vale will never commit, but you would have thought Jon would have brought it up.
I also noticed that Sansa wasn’t there when Ramsay mentioned not feeding his hounds for 7 days. I think the scene was likely re-structured a bit during editing and thus created this continuity error. I guess we can assume that someone passed along this info to Sansa before the battle. 🙄
This eps was amazinggg. Next eps is my favorite in the whole series. I can’t wait to see your reaction it it.
The two best episode of the serie 3 days apart Thats so delightful. Even if I watch myself sometime I really get emotionnal and having goosebump when its a reac on youtube. Its like watching it for the first time again. See you the 8th :)
18:51 Because the showrunners couldn’t think of any other way to have a big suspenseful battle where the audience believes the good guys are gonna lose only to be saved in the eleventh hour by surprise help. It’s what makes 2x09 the superior battle episode. The side of our main perspective for the battle looks like they’re going to lose, only to be saved by Tywin bringing in the Tyrell forces in the eleventh hour. That season was still drawing from book material, and GRRM wrote that episode himself. The showrunners wrote this one.
Instead of writing a letter they should have had Sansa leave in episode 7 after she and Jon argue about not having enough men. Then in the parlay with Ramsay this episode (which Sansa isn’t there for) Ramsay says if Jon wants to save Rickon he better bring his army to fight tomorrow. Ramsay doesn’t want to give the Starks more time because he knows the number he has now can defeat the number they currently have. So Jon doesn’t have time to wait and see if Sansa was able to recruit more forces. Then she arrives with the Vale army the same way it played out this episode.
finally episode 9. Love ur reactions🇦🇷❤
I'm loving these videos, easily the best GOT reactions I've seen, 'punch him more, break his face' 🤣🤣
Yessss I'm excited for this reaction! Ah!
21:50.... Tyrion seems to forget himself needling Theon in WF.....
