I'm getting sucked into this world more and more with every episode 👀

There is already SO MUCH DRAMA.
Politics, family histories, secrets, small conversations that just get bigger later..
It's so much to take in.
(sorry for pausing during a couple scenes I promise it won't be a common thing)

I love how this world already feels so much bigger than any one character.
Four episodes in and I'm already HOOKED 🔥

See you all next week for more!


Thank you for your support on Patreon!
Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿

Slow Shadow

Was waiting for the upload. So excited!

Wil Castillo

Two episodes of GoT with Kali is a great way to end a busy week. I've been looking forward to this!

Howie

Yeah it's really difficult not to binge GoT. For me, it was always, "just one more episode..." and the next thing I knew, I had watched 5-6 episodes in a row. And I'm talking about doing this after multiple full season re-watches! In fact, after watching your reaction last week, I was tempted to watch episode 3 on my own! But nope, I resisted and my watch begins again with you...

Kyle K

I believe the intro shows the places where the current episode is taking place.

Bxb

New patron here 👋😂 when I saw you doing this show I just had to subscribe. Really loving these multi episode reactions

Pilot2b

11:40 - GoT is A LOT. Please, pause as much as you need. It’s also nice to see what you’ve picked up on when it happens, both in terms of what’s happening on screen, and what might be happening behind the scenes.

Slow Shadow

Something the show doesn't really show well is how long things take. Last episode you thought they were still in winterfell when the wolves attacked joffrey and you said not realising how close winterfell is to kings landing. But the journey took weeks or months. The wolves attack was at an inn in the middle and weeks /months have passed for ned or eddard Stark ( both are fine😉) and catelyn stark to get here. And this will persist in the show that sometimes big time jumps will take place without it being really clear.

Edgar Gonzalez

Oh shit, we back! Get ready Kaliwali...you have only scratched the surface on how crazy this series is going to be...Ive seen this series soooo many times, that I could probably recite each episode by heart ❤️

Renato Stojanovic

Loved this reaction. - I'm all for you pausing to gather your thoughts and work out confusing parts than stepping on active dialog and missing key details. 😊👍

Lukas Bretwalker

Remember: how Kali would hold it. 😂😂😂😂😂

M1 Maz

Welcome in!

Ronald Williams

I am so enjoying watching this amazing show along with you. On a second viewing, you'll notice that the show's time jumps are clearly explained through dialogue and visual clues. In Episode 1, Queen Cersei mentions it takes one month to travel between King's Landing and Winterfell. This explains why the direwolves are so much bigger when the royal entourage arrives. Also, at the end of the episode, King Robert and Ned aren't departing for King's Landing yet—dialogue notes they are just leaving for a boar hunt. In Episode 2, the King, Ned, his daughters, and the rest of the party officially depart for King's Landing. As Arya is packing we see her wolf has grown even more. It's on the King's Road (title of the episode) that the altercation involving Joffrey, the butcher's boy, and the Stark girls takes place while they are staying at an inn. In Episode 3, Catelyn decides to travel to King's Landing to warn Ned in person about the attempt on Bran's life, mentioning she has been watching over Bran for over a month—confirming that at least another month has passed since Ned and the King departed.

Christopher Farley

I need your GoT reactions injected directly into my veins lol. Definitely do not feel pressured to not pause once in a while like others said to gather your bearings or digest some new information because there will be A LOT of information thrown at you all at once.

Kawaii Leonard

They already mentioned in episode 1 it took them a month to ride from Kingslanding to Winterfell.

John Conti

Wasn’t sure where to post this but will you be playing The last Of Us 2?

Slow Shadow

I wrote this since Kali mentioned in ep3 that she wasn't aware that kings landing and winterfell were so close together. There is so much info and world building that I think she didn't catch that in ep1.

GodUsopp

i disagree, i think for most of the show the travel times are consistent, early in season 1 there are time jumps because otherwise the entire season 1 would be them traveling, The time jumps are shown by the dire wolves aging in the first 2 episodes. For long stretches of the show characters traveling if half the fun considering there are storylines that take place entirely while characters traveling to the point you can see actors age

GodUsopp

I first watched game of thrones during covid, like my highschool sent us home and when i realized i was likely done for the year i thought "i could probably binge watch some of the shows ive never watched" so i was just watching game of thrones and the walking dead

KamikazeCDN

I assume you're thinking of Shaun of the Dead but that's not the actor from that movie. Pretty sure you're thinking of Nick Frost in that case, they don't look dissimilar. at a glance. The actor for Sam is John Bradley, I don't believe you've seen him in anything before. One of the best intro songs ever, it digs into your brain and just doesn't leave. While the show was actively airing I was always humming it and after your first reaction video I have started humming it all the time again. What I like most about the changing intro is that it gives a nice sort of visual of where things are in the world in relation to each other. As they mentioned, the last winter was many years ago, the seasons/winter in this universe doesn't have any sort of regular schedule like ours. It's why the whole "winter is coming" is such a big thing because it can be so long and so very harsh.

Slow Shadow

(spoilers beyond this point) And again, I wrote this comment since Kali made a statement and I wanted to inform without spoilers. With respect idc If you agree or disagree about consistency or if you think it's shown well or not. I do agree the traveling is fun but season 7 and 8 they are just fast traveling all over the place and time skipping left and Right.

Joshua Corea

Joined patron for this show and the upcoming my dress up darling, I am on the side of pause when u feel the need! This is lore heavy show and I love hearing your thoughts and trying to answer without spoiling. Do whatever make you feel comfortable and I hope you love this show as much as I do ❤️

Christian F

I am absolutely loving your reaction of this show.

Renato Stojanovic

1:04:46:...(sigh)....oh my sweet Milennial summer child, lol. So many questions with so many more episodes to follow. You've only just scratched the surface. 😁

Joe Mallard

The only show you have to do homework on and take notes for or else you get lost. I just stopped caring about the information after the first season.

kaliwali

LOL I regretted it immediately 🤣

LeRezwarrior

Love your attention to detail and understanding alot. I wouldn't call Tyrion "Imp". It's like a Derogatory word for little person. General GoT Information. - Especially during the early seasons, Some time passes. Days, Weeks, or Months in between episodes, especially when they're traveling. - The King Robert Baratheon was a monster of a man during the rebellion against the Targaryens. Wielding a Giant WarHammer wearing a Greathelm with Antlers. - Great Houses we know so far: Stark (Ned Stark and Fam we know) Lannister (Jamie and Cerci, Tyrion. Children of Tywin) Baratheon (Current King Robert) Targaryen (Overthrown, Daenerys, Mad King Ares) Tully (Catelyn's Stark former house) Greyjoy (Theon Greyjoy, taken by Starks as a child due to Greyjoy Rebellion)

Robert da Spruce

Now you’re starting to see why it’s called “Game of Thrones” 😊 The plotting and conniving 😳 One thing about the intro song. Yes, the locations shown on the map change. More importantly though, it shows which locations and storylines will be featured during each episode

2026-11-15 10:00 Personally I loved the pausing when you had a thought on this story, I think it’s like a book club moment and that feels appropriate for this show! Thanks Kali for even reading my Histories and Lore video suggestions last week! I totally get not having time to dedicate an hour and a half each season to just book + show lore being expanded, but as I said it’s a very useful tool if you ever need it! It’s even broken down into segments, so if you ever needed to know more in detail about day Robert’s rebellion, you could just focus on the segments you actually wanted! Maybe I’ll shoot out a quick annotated list of segments on Discord near the end of the season again just to tempt a potential shorter reaction or just for your own knowledge! Great reactions again so far!

Paul Ark

Another detail about the intro is that each actor’s name also comes with the sigil of the house they belong to (dire wolves for the actors playing a Stark, 3-headed dragon for actors playing Targaryens, stag for actors playing a Baratheon, lion for actors playing a Lannister, and so on)

Renato Stojanovic

(2:06:24): 😆 😆 "Is she moggin' on him right now?" 💀

Andre Harry

1:55:00 I know there's a lot of names being thrown your way right now and you're focusing on the current events of the season but try to keep this name Mance Rayder in the back of your mind.

Tim Heron

Eddard is his given name, but Ned is used as a derivative, the weird way "Dick" is a nickname for "Richard." In the scene where Viserys hits Daenerys for "waking the dragon," the reason why he manhandles Doreah, one of the Dothraki handmaidens, is explained a bit more clearly in the novel: in passing along Dany's request for him to join her for dinner, Doreah translated it incorrectly and presented it as an order instead of just a request.

rian

i only hear the south park version when i hear the intro lmao

JP.Dangerously

I'm really stoked you're getting into this series; it's a heck of a journey, and now I have something to look forward to every week again! One thing you've started to pick up on, and the show has definitely touched on, is the state of the Night's Watch vs what it used to be. The Night's Watch was once a noble order of brave men who stood on the Wall and guarded the realms of men, particularly from the White Walkers. But as characters have mentioned, the White Walkers have been gone for over 1,000 years. That's more than long enough for people to forget them, and begins assuming they were just a myth. In the current time of the show, the Night's Watch has become more of a place to send problematic individuals, as a punishment - or a way to avoid punishment - or just men you want to get rid of. The Starks, being a family in the North, still remember the original purpose of the Night's Watch and they honor its purpose, which is why Ned Stark told Jon Snow it was a great honor to join them - he wasn't necessarily lying to him. It's just unfortunate that this is what they've become. You're doing a much better job at catching certain details and remembering names than I did on my first watch through. It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the information they throw at you in the first couple seasons. Don't worry, eventually certain things actually become more relevant and you'll become more familiar with them as events unfold, so even if you don't remember every little detail, the show is pretty good at presenting what's important when it's important to know them, and a lot of the rest is mentioned in passing for world-building.

Wil Castillo

I'm glad you brought this up. I was going to mention this last week.

David Perkins

loved this reaction. my only gripe is, now that it's ended, i have to wait a whole other week for the next upload! oh well, i guess i'll just have to live with it i suppose. again, your perceptiveness, your ability to deduce something with only the slightest of hints that something isn't quite right, is remarkable. the only advice i would give you regarding this series is to not take anything at face value. i'm moderately confident that the term "unreliable narrator" was first coined in refence to this show..... probably!

MrGiamMY999

When Jorah said he betrayed his father you asked why he’s here: in the first episode Jorah said Ned Stark banished him because he was a slaver. He sold people.

warcrimes

Kali you pause as many times as you want or need. Listening to your thought process is why I'm here. I became a patron to rewatch this series and 4 eps in you're delivering.

Cameron

You're doing a great job following along.

2026-11-15 10:00 if the timing hadnt been so close together, i would swear that the bloody barron from the witcher 3 was based on king bobby b's character in the show. he could play him if they ever adapted the game.

I'm really enjoying how invested in the story you're getting. I can't blame you, now I want to binge watch the whole show again too lol

mitchhamilton64

noooo, not even close. was in like the 60's when that was coined.

Armand Soulliard

It's been a while since I've watched the show, but I think you're pretty right about why Ned didn't say anything to Jon about the Night's Watch. Ned definitely feels like part of the old guard that knew the Night's Watch from when it was more like what he thinks it is. He's also all about honor, so the idea of people sacrificing a better life for the sake of protecting the realm likely overshadows other aspects of the Night's Watch in his mind.

Ray

The majority of the Night's Watch is made up of criminals.

Dubman

Yes, let me add my voice to others, please pause as much as you like. Your reactions and take on what's happening on the show are why we watch. Speaking for other watchers, we don't want to miss a moment of your realizations or discovery of the world. Game of Thrones is big, and watching your great attention to detail pick up on the most subtle of hints is a big part of the fun. So I for one say pause away! :)

i Vincero

I just love watching smart people react and dissect especially a good show like GoT... looking forward for next week..

Soopa

I'm very tempted to give you a spoiler-free Robert's Rebellion history lesson, as it has such a huge bearing on the entire show...but honestly, you're picking up on things better than most. The show doesn't go into details enough about Robert's Rebellion - and it should. But you'll get the gist of it.

eladrin22

Yep, nail on the head. Name is Eddard Stark, but everyone calls him Ned. Winterfell and Kings landing are actually not close at all, it is just that time is sped up in the series. I believe the journey on horseback is 1-2 months.

TheGuy

I haven't watched it yet, but I’ll say upfront that I don’t mind pauses, as long as they’re for quickly reviewing something you might have missed, rather than trying to predict what happens next or over-explaining (which feels different from reacting, in my view). Good stories reveal what you need to know at the right time. You’re perceptive enough to notice the details in this show; just focus more on active listening rather than trying to anticipate events—they’ll make everything clear as it unfolds.

Beefi

Maybe I misunderstood you when you were talking about some “History Something” videos at the beginning, because you also said there’s one for every episode—if I understood you correctly? Or maybe you got something mixed up ? On the one hand, you’d already heard about the “History & Lore” videos (of which there’s only one per season), but now you’re confusing them with some kind of behind-the-scenes videos, which might be available for every episode? In any case, when it came to the “History & Lore” videos, there was always just one video per season, released at the end of each season. Regardless of whether you react to it or just watch it for yourself, seeing how involved you are in the whole GoT universe, I’m 1000% convinced you’ll want to watch them.

Beefi

The Most Useless Advice Ever . For one thing, comments like that are just spoilers, and for another, there's absolutely no reason to single out that name of all things and keep it in mind now. That's like setting priorities as if an asteroid were going to hit Earth tomorrow and you were writing on your to-do list not to forget to take the clothes out of the dryer.

Me

Re: The nights watch being awful. You saw them telling Tyrion how shitty it is now and how they need men and money. The nights watch has fallen a long way and have to take whatever men they can. You are also correct that there is no money left because Robert has been a poor king and let many thing fall to ruin.

Me

Lol, in that case remember Ser Dunc the tall.

troy wolfe

Maisie Williams, the actress that plays Arya Stark is right handed but her character in the books is a leftie, so she trained to use her sword left handed in order portray her character more accurately. The woman you keep seeing with Sansa is Septa Mordane. Septas are basically the nuns of the Faith of the Seven, or the New Gods you keep hearing people refer to throughout the series. Pause all you like, I wish more reactors would Pause rather than talk over the dialog.

Kal

I, for one, like the pauses. We get to hear where your mind's at as things happen without you having to rush your thoughts, you get to not miss on any dialogue or action. It's a Win/Win.

Kal

There are other reasons, but we can't get into them yet.

Nina

In the first Episode Cersei mentioned that they've been riding for a month from King's Landing to Winterfell. I think the show does a very good Job in the first seasons with the Passage of time. The show takes its time to show the journey It takes an entire Episode or two to get to a certain place. Other Shows don't show the journey at all, the characters just leave a place and in the next scene they've arrived. But the journeys in the show are important, a lot of Things happen on the road.

Kal

Welcome.

Kristoffer

Honestly im all for pausing when you think of something during the watch. Its a better chance you dont miss anyhting that way. Just my opinion tho.

Glen Roberts

The reason it took a month was because of Cersei's huge, heavy coach. If she had been on a horse they could have done it in less then a week. Gives you a good idea how selfish she is.

Opticblasting3

So a lot of reactors watch the "history and lore" for each season directly after the season ends. They are all on YouTube. So for example there is "game of thrones histories and lore" season 1, 2, etc. So what people mostly recommend doing is that after you finish season 1. Instead of starting season 2 just replace the first episode of that season with a histories and lore reaction on your schedule. That way it's not like you're watching an extra thing on top of everything else but it just slots in the free game of thrones space. It's not something you'll regret at all as it contains a lot of great information and info

Beefi

And my only advice: leave the storytelling to the story itself. Why do some people always feel they have to take over the storytelling—and, in doing so, ruin it? Maybe a show has a reason presenting it the way they did; if they had felt it was necessary to convey your advice to the audience, they would have done so.

John

Yes, Lord Eddard Stark is called "Ned." He doesn't really look like an Ed or Eddie.

GodUsopp

yeah but you literally made a incorrect statement lol, for most of the show the travel time is consistent thats all there is too it

Slow Shadow

I disagree, but not here to argue

Ricky

So here's a thought that occurred to me about the Night's Watch. It may not be meeting the expectations of Jon Snow, but honestly, how is it any different from any other place in the world, or in this case, Westeros? If you go to King's Landing, you're going to have awful people who are part of the King's Guard who are criminals but are not considered that because they are part of the King's Guard. You're going to have people who are rapists who are part of the King's Guard. You're going to have those sorts of people all over the kingdom. However, in Jon Snow's case at the Wall, it's a microcosm, and so everything is very much pronounced. Going to the Wall is a very honorable thing, and Ned Stark is incredibly honorable. He knows that if Jon Snow goes to the Wall, he is fulfilling an honorable duty, protecting the realm of men. Just because there are people at the Wall who would be a dishonorable sort, who are in fact found everywhere in Westeros, does not diminish the honorable duty of standing on the Wall. I also wonder if Ned Stark understood that being at the Wall would be the best place for Jon Snow because, being out in the rest of Westeros, he is seen as a bastard, and people will diminish him for that. However, at the Wall, as indicated by Jon Snow's uncle, you earn your place at the Wall, whereas in the rest of the world, it'd be much more difficult for him to earn respect because of his status as a bastard. Also, the saying "sweet summer child" is an old saying and doesn't come from Game of Thrones 😁. It's supposed to mean the person is really naive or innocent. I'm going to guess it comes from the Renaissance/Enlightenment period.

John

Seeing Ned watch Arya train at the end. The soldier in him is so proud to see her learning to fight. The father in him is so sad to see her learning to fight.

John

Ned knows what the Nights Watch is. Benjen Stark is Ned's brother. Ned understands service to something greater than oneself, and to him that makes it honorable.

Steve Mercier

You're thinking of Sean of the Dead, I think...and no, that's not him. Nick Frost is in that. The actor who plays Sam is John Bradley.

GrossBee

So yeah, Ned is Eddard's nickname. There are lots of nicknames in GoT. It's a lot at first but you will get used to them and actually learn to appreciate them. With so many characters overall, having nicknames for them helps us remember them by giving more color to their characters (Spider, Hound, Mountain) or by helping us remember a bit of their backgrounds (Littlefinger, Kingslayer, Mad King).

KJ

I for one enjoy you pausing to process certain scenes or stretches of plot and dialogue. Fascinating to see your thought process, and I'd much rather you pause so you don't miss anything 😊

vj

Just a heads up so you don't drive yourself crazy staring at the map every episode: the intro doesn't actually change every time! Most episodes have the exact same intro, and when it does change mid-season, it's usually just one tiny new castle popping up. Watching it at the start of each new season is more than enough!

John

Interesting theory that Cersei is the blacksmith's mother based on his yellow hair comment. Ned thinks him to be Robert's bastard son, but if your theory is correct he's not a bastard at all, he's a true Baratheon and heir to the throne. That would not please Joffrey too much.

Mister Lou

Remember a Knight's Tale? I always remember King Robert from that.

Ray

Jon Snow is 16 years old in season one.

WanderingBecauseLostLol

They call Eddard "Ned" like someone would call someone named William "Bill". So both are correct lol

Nina

Tyrion can relate to Jon. Like he told him in episode 1: "Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you". "What do you know about being a bastard?" "All dwarves are bastards in their fathers eyes." He helps people he can relate to.

WanderingBecauseLostLol

I'm so jealous of people who can pick up damn near EVERYTHING on the first watch of a show like this.. my goodness Kali 😂
