Watch the full reaction to Game of Thrones (S1 E3-E4) - Full Reaction on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Bill Maurer

somehow, someway .... we need to get Carly caught up to speed and have her join in on the GoT. I know it won't be easy, but the good things in life are never easy. Thanks for this !! I am re-watching along with you and others on this site !! PS: She is hooked. I and others knew this was going to happen. :)

Omar

Aaaand I know what I’m doing tonight after work

Mike T

Well I know what I'm doing today.

Obie Brown

I think Cassie would be a Stark....she is from the North, the "real" North. So excited for this journey!

Ike

Opening an Ice Cream stand on the Moon is more reasonable than thinking Carly will watch Game of Thrones. It’s just not her bag, man. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Mike Lemon

"but the good things in life are never easy. " Peanut buster parfaits are incredibly easy. Just tell the lady what you want and she gives it to you.

Clay F

This is a nice surprise. Gray said yesterday you had already watched E3/E4. Putting on your reaction now.

Mark T

Wasn't expecting this today, good thing it's a slow work day, going to watch right now!

Patrick

Anyone know if these are gonna get YouTube edits?

Cole Jennett

Not happening Bill, no way Carly could do it.😂

Baldemort

haha you can tell Cassie is invested and I dont even have to press play yet.

Uncle Phoenix

I Hope Cassie goes down the “IP Man” road; and does more martial arts movies.

AdrianF

I was in bed!

Story Archer

Nah, I'm pretty sure she's a Hufflepuff :P

Story Archer

Carli's chances of watching GoT are highly unlikely. Her likelihood of surviving it, next to zero. I'd enjoy watching her reactions, but I'd feel like a sadist doing it.

Blake Evans

Cassie I don’t know if anyone mentioned it yet but try not to skip the map during the intro as it changes every episode depending on which location we are at.

Ted Whalen

I don’t want to be a “Negative Nelly” or a hater, but I thought that there was only going to be one GoT reaction (two episodes) per week (I apologize if this is not correct). I hope that this is just an exception for this week.

dave

YESSSS! Seeing this in my notifications made my day.

Kyle K

Wasn’t expecting this today :)

kaiielle

OH HECK! Thank you Cassie! Can't wait to watch this later.

Just Plain Bob

Ted, Cassie’s “week” typically runs from either Thursday or Friday thru Sunday or Monday. I’m defining “week” here as the period during which she drops new full length reactions (meaning this drop is in the week following the first reaction, technically-ish). My guess would be that you won’t see another reaction to GoT until at least next Thursday and they’ll fall into a more predictable pattern after that. I think she was just excited to continue after those first two episodes. Hope that helps and, of course, I could be completely wrong about her ongoing intentions re: once a week.

TheSingulatarian

Game of Thrones is like salted peanuts. Once you start, you can't stop.

JohnnyUtah

I knew it! Couldn't stay away, Thursday night viewing is now planned!

Obie Brown

This is not the usual TV show reaction for her, she has 8 seasons to get through, so the frequency of GOT content will be more than past shows. Plus, she seems into it and will watch more as she pleases

Ted Whalen

Bob- thanks! This is definitely helpful.

Renato Stojanovic

Lol. Knew u couldn't wait a whole week. I wouldn't be able to, especially since you don't have to. Hope this is a regular occurance:)

Canadianant

Excited but I'm away from home . It will have to wait until I get back

My_Cousin_Mose

Boss I need to leave early today- Cassie dropped the next episode of GoT!!!

Julien

You are complaining because there are more GOT reactions than you expected?

Clarence Newman

Bad news: My DVDs of season 1-3 still haven't arrived., Good news: I'll have about 6 episodes to binge on by the time they get here.

Ted Whalen

Julien- I am not a fan of the GoT series (it has never appealed to me). We have already sacrificed one of the three reaction slots per week to GoT. My concern was that are we now going to have two reactions per week, which would further limit the reactions to movies. That is fine if that is what Cassie wants to do, it would mean that I need to reconsider my member status.

Obie Brown

There is a sync issue with episode 4 after Cassie takes a break, the show and her reactions are off for about a minute or so.

2-Can

A little surprised that, when John and his friends (and Ghost, John's direwolf) visited the sleeping guy who had threatened to hurt Sam to warn him to leave Sam alone, you didn't ask 'who ordered the Code Red?!'

Reaction Junkie

So pumped to see GoT on your schedule. I can't get enough of these reactions haha

WestBound

Guys things like "omg next episode is such a heartbreaker" or "you're going to hate this character" also lowkey count as spoilers .

Mark T

Yes, I noticed this too. I have a feeling it's off by the 44 secs she stepped away

Philip Alan

So, after the 44 second black out, during the second episode, the video is out of sync. Just an FYI.

2-Can

Cassie. Vill. Splash. Thee. Pot. Eef. She. Vants.

Philip Alan

So instead of watching for 44 seconds, pause it until Cassie comes back. That worked

Laura Thornley

You're really churning through it! Love to see it. Also you've come such a long way, I don't think 2020 Cassy would have been able to handle this show.

2-Can

Until she turns the corner for "Ned", she's still from Rohan.

Just Plain Bob

Ted, I agree with you. But people here take it personally. I’ve already had one person lecture me about my life choices because I feel as you do. There’s apparently no room for disagreement on this matter. If you like GoT, you’re ok. If not, you’re the enemy. That’s what passes for tolerance with some people here. Prepare yourself for lectures on how it’s Cassie’s channel, she’ll do what she wants, if you don’t like it you can leave, if you do decide to leave, why are you making such a big deal about only a handful of reactions, etc.

Brian's Dog

Bobby B fan club starts here.

AdrianF

WHen it says to keep copy going, don't do that. It's 44 seconds out if you DO keep your copy running; pause there instead whilst the screen is black

AdrianF

Just realised the same

Mark T

Sorry, you are not a fan, Ted, but threatening to cancel your membership isn't going to win you any sympathy. Not every reaction every reactor does is going to appeal to everyone. And I will say that Cassie goes above and beyond to appease her fans more so than any other reactor I've watched.

Bill Maurer

yeah ... the synch was definitely off by amount of that time

Scott Macaulay

Awesome possum! I had to stop myself from binge-watching too! Watching with Cassie really helps me understand screenwriting better! It's great in that she knows nothing about the story beforehand and I can see how the story is revealed to her. Very inciteful.. I always seem to know stuff going in(or in this case I read the books).

Bill Maurer

We're introduced to the one and only, Bronn. If ever so brief. More to follow She might remember him from John Wick 3

Popcorn In Bed

Hey! There will only be one G of T slot (2-3 episodes) each week. Between each update post if that makes sense? So the one that came out 3 days was for last weeks reactions (along with thunderbolts and sin city) and the one that dropped today will be this week’s slot (along with to catch a thief and AI)

Miguel

Is it just me or is the timing off quite a bit at the end?

Miguel

Looks like she's still reacting to Dany putting Viserys in his place but the show has already moved onto the next scene by like 30+ seconds?

Ted Whalen

Mark- I was just making a simple statement (I did not mean it as a threat). I certainly understand that I am not going to like everything that Cassie reacts to (that’s what makes us all unique individuals). I am sure that I have liked other series (for instance Bad of Brothers) that others did not have an interest in.

Miguel

Ok nevermind I just read the other comments. Just pause during the 44 second blackout.

AdrianF

2-3 episodes a week. Inject it.

Popcorn In Bed

sorry, we fixed it and the new version is encoding now

Ted Whalen

Bob- 100% agree. I already regret making the original comment (I was just looking for a simple clarification).

Tara ✨💫

Hi Cassie, to answer your last question, yes, Winters and Summers can last years. The seasons in this world are not like ours. During one of these episodes they mentioned that Arya had not seen winter and that Bran was a "Summer child" so it's been around 10 years of Summer. In Westeros (the Continent where Kings Landing, Winterfell and the Wall are) Bastards take the surname from where they are from. Northern Bastards are all named "Snow" that is how everyone knows that Jon is a Bastard. Bastards from other regions of Westeros have different last names like "Rivers" "Sand" "Waters"

Ted Whalen

Cassie- that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Tara ✨💫

Cassie or to the moderators, if you know someone who has the blue rays of GoT, I’d suggest when you get closer to the end of the season, but before you start S2 that you watch the S1 bonus features. They don’t have spoilers, but there is world building and history content, like how the wall came to be and back story explaining the mad king and how Robert became King and stuff like that. I just saw these bonus features for S1 recently and I wish I had seen them when I first watched the show. They will help answer questions you have about this world.

Ike

We’re just getting started. (It is known)

Trickness McGillicutty

The two videos are out of sync, I think it happens around the same time the 44 second blank screen ended

Mark White

Thanks Cassie, I’m warming up to it. I’m starting to get that feeling of “what’s going to happen next!” Good reaction.

D. T. Nelson

Why was a one minute gap added to Cassie's reaction in episode 4? The blacked space in Cassie's reaction needs to be removed and the whole reaction re-rendered.

aarswft

Not a spoiler, but what's being said about Summer and Winter is true. They don't have traditional seasons like we do. Their Seasons can last years at a time before changing.

PianoDean

Yes...the sync is off I noticed when we watched Dany stand up to her brother and Cassie didn't react until about a min after.

KTVindicare

It's out of sync at the end of episode 2 starting around 36 minutes in, Cassie drops back to like 3-4 minutes behind the timer.

james sweeney

The screen on her video didn't sync with what she was actually watching.

Mark T

It's so hard not to want to binge-watch the entire thing right now again, but I'm enjoying the reactions and will patiently wait each week.

Philip Alan

You have to pause the show right at the blackout. And start the show right when she comes back on screen. That synced up for me.

Philip Alan

Thank you!!! Exactly! People just can’t help themselves!

Yaisu

Buckle up Cassie. It's going to be a roller coaster of a show for you. Loving that you're finally reacting to these though.

Clay F

I noticed that. Edit: She commented below that they fixed with a new version.

Brian Harris

“This guy likes to gossip.” Like Michael Jordan enjoys the occasional pickup game in the driveway.

Clay F

Edit: She commented below that they fixed with a new version. Yep, apparently happened at the end of the 44 second blank screen, but I didn't notice the out of sync until later. She is about 1-2 minutes behind. Thus, I paused my stream of GoT for about 1-2 minutes to get by in sync. You can tell by her comments/reactions (responses) where she is at. Can't go by her blurred video which doesn't match her reaction/comments.

Christian Rennie

I can't go back in time to watch this over again but this is the next best thing and getting to see this reaction unspoiled is the only way to go. Thank you for this and I hope all will respect your first time experience and just try to see it again for the first time through your eyes! 😃

JPDotCom23

Yes, same here, I wanted to get right to episode three but stopped myself

Clay F

Yeah, no change this week. Still only one reaction slot for GoT this week. Her reaction on Sunday was 'last week.' Her reaction today is 'this week.' I bascally view her week as Wednesday (1st day for reaction of advertised content that week) thru Tuesday (last day for reaction of advertised content that week).

Clay F

Another good reaction to GoT episodes. I will be watching your reaction to GoT every week. I noticed below you said 2-3 episodes per week. If you ever did a 3rd episode, I wouldn't mind.

LukeG84

It's a little bittersweet knowing Cassie has seen A Knight's Tale. There will never be a reaction video to it. But on the other hand, her reaction to the death scene and referencing that movie is what allowed me to get back in sync. I'm thinking there needs to be a better way of handling the times where Cassie needs to pause. Perhaps countdowns to when we should pause and start playing again could work? Would prefer to pause the reaction than to deal with trying get back in sync based on Cassie's reactions alone. Just a thought!

Mike Lemon

The week is more usually Tuesday (the update post which usually contains a "this week ...") through Monday (typically the "make up day").

Ed Garland

Just wanted to say Thank you for watching/giving us Two episodes each week!! Also so glad you're enjoying it so much!! 😊 🐺

Clay F

"I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards, and broken things."

Gray

Hopefully with how kean you are with wanting to watch the next episodes we get them early like with it coming out on a Thursday was great for me personally 😄. To answer your question the Starks have Northern English accents as it losely based on the geography of Britain.

Cole Jennett

That’s the first time it hasn’t been seamless, and they corrected the mistake.

Cole Jennett

I do find it a little weird that people comment about the time gap without looking to see if it was brought up already by anyone else. It’s been fixed, I just finished and it was seamless other than we don’t see about 45 seconds of Cassie’s reaction.

LukeG84

Yeah but that only helps the people who hadn’t seen it yet. Also, we miss Cassie’s reactions to what’s happened during the blackout. Pausing when Cassie does seems like a better option.

Gray

I got lucky and paused after the first ep and then the video went private and I saw there was a new link. I'm guessing there was a technical issue for the blackout as i've seen recently they normally do a quick edit when she needs to pause and go awol.

Michael West

These are so much fun. For what it's worth, you are doing an excellent job picking up the plot and following the stories and various "houses." There is so much history and lore in the books that it was impossible to put it all in the series. That can make it hard to piece it all together at times. You are catching on quickly and I am so glad you are enjoying the episodes. I realize we have a long journey ahead, but would you consider doing a live discussion after you have finished the series? I think that would be so much fun.

Cole Jennett

I won’t rub it in some people’s faces like others might, but I am really enjoying these reactions and am happy to know she’s getting hooked. I was only 90% sure she would be.

Rick Williams

Cassie has fallen in love the John Snow. I remember when this was first airing on HBO. I lot of women fell in love with John Snow. I have seasons 1-5 on Blu Ray. If Cassie makes it through them I will have to buy the last 3 finally.

Michael West

one of my favorite Tyrion quotes

Clay F

Ditto, though I was closer to 100% sure. Also, my jubilance (infatuation) I express b/c she is reacting to GoT could be construed as rubbing it some people's faces?

Clay F

Agree

Jenny_M

I know Cassie isn't reading the comments, but since she asked in the video, I'm pretty sure that Jon and Sam are cleaning the table with sand. Can't say exactly why, but I'd guess that it scours into the cracks and is probably more pleasant than trying to use soap and water in a frigid environment.

Kyle K

Ned’s real name is Eddard if that’s any better

Tyler Lathrop

Can’t wait to watch when I get home from work!!

Chris Retzlaff

Hugh of the Vale....looks pretty familiar for all you HOTD fans....crazy hes in both

Laura Thornley

Okay, so a little backstory that isn't explained in the show much as to why Robert became king. He was the young lord of the Stormlands and his grandmother was a Targaryan - thus technically putting him in the line of succession (just very, very far down it). He was the figurehead of the rebellion (if not the actual leader in practice - that would have been Jon Arryn) and was such a good fighter that when he was proclaimed king no-one dared rise against him (and he was so good at making friends with his enemies after defeating them that people thought he'd be a great unifier). Then nearly two decades of his alcohol fuelled depression and we're at this point in the story.

Chris Retzlaff

And at this time..Bronn is with Cersei.i think..later on it was in their contracts not to have scenes together....

Cole Jennett

Yes, that was cool to see! When I saw Oppenheimer I was having such a tough time placing him, but it was HOTD.

Adon Delgado

“Small Matters Committee” made me laugh more than it had any right to.

Chris Retzlaff

Another fun one to see is a guard later on...is now Johnny Storm in Fantastic 4....and the Guitar Hero from Stranger Things.....shows how a career can turn in 7 yrs

Bill Maurer

I heard the same thing, then heard that was not true . IMDB has something about it with the character who played Bronn saying it was not true

Cole Jennett

Oh wow, did not know that! I thought everyone was solid in the FF roles

Clay F

Yeah, an advantage of 3 episodes per week is goes by faster (plus I would just simply like it). But 3 hrs per week (instead of 2 hrs per week) as a rule may be too demanding on her schedule? She has never reacted to a long series (other than the 3-season Mandalorian), so this a new experience for her. She reacted to 40+ episodes of TNG but that was so chopped up and with big distraction of voting for episodes. I enjoy watching reactions to iconic long series. I seek them out on other reactor channels. One channel I watch is LM Reactions (2 females in late 20s) who react exclusively to series (no movies), and they are successful. The long series fly by. Smooth. Get into a groove. No voting on episodes. The reactors up to speed. A stellar (iconic) long series can be a basis for a rich reaction at least in part b/c on the ongoing interpretation – the weekly discussion on evolving character development/arcs, storylines, etc. Don't get that with 2-hr movie. Cassie previously about series on PiB: “I’ve done obviously not as many shows [series] as I have done movies but some of my favorites have been the shows because I just feel like you get to know characters and look forward to characters. Seeing them in weekly episodes.” I hope here there becomes permanent (or quasi-permanent) reaction slot for TV series, which I guess would be 1/3 of the channel. Could be just the thing to rejuvenate the channel. At least would add entertainment flavor. I already see an uptick in number of patrons coinciding w/start of her GoT reactions. Again, I enjoy watching reactions to TV series -- more in depth than a 2-hr movie. I think after she reacts to GoT, then we will see what her stance is on ongoing reactions to TV series.

djKENTO

His name isn’t really “Ned”. It’s Eddard and Ned is what his closest friends call him as a nickname.

Raymond Terry

Do the spoiler free character/house diagrams still exist? It would be beneficial for Cassie if all the names and variations get too confusing.

Tommymctomflynn

Sam and Jon were salting the table to disinfect it. They rub the salt into the wood with brushes and then sweep it off.

My_Cousin_Mose

I always do a little eyeroll when Jorah is explaining to Rikaro that broadswords were designed to pierce plate. They most certainly were not. I'm pretty sure the opposite is closer to the truth and plate mail was designed to deal with swords (and many other weapons).

Cody Nelson

Yes, I'm very impressed with how well she's following everything seeing as how there is a lot to keep up with in this show.

Ben Livingstone

"Ned" in our world is a casual way of saying "Ed". When people spoke about their family, they would say "my" (eg. "my Nora" or "my David"). Since "my" used to be "mine", it would actually be "mine Ed" or "mine El" (short for Eleanor). That eventually became "my Ned" and "my Nell".

Shawn Kildal

Not sure how everyone else feels, but I'd be okay if Cassie would skip the episode recap on the second episode of the reaction since it was just watch just moments before.

Brent Petty

They weren't rubbing dirt on the table, they were scrubbing sand on the table. Think of it as old school sandpaper. :)

Clay F

Shawn -- I understand your point but she might like the recap to reinforce highlights of what she watched moments before. A summary. She trying to absorb and understand the material. I really don't mind (and maybe even like) watching her watch the recap, and hearing the couple of comments she makes during the recap. However, I wouldn't complain if she cut it.

John Cranberry

I sync the videos together so I can watch it as one complete video. If she skips the recaps and/or the intro for example, it will be more work for me to sync the videos. Anyway, I prefer they didn't have a recap.

Art of Free Speech

@Brett I believe Cassie did say something to that effect, that she wasn't going to read the comments because of possible spoilers.

Art of Free Speech

You were more certain than I was, Cole. I really figured if she could get past the nudity, she'd be hooked, but there was no guarantee of that.

Chris Retzlaff

They are, Joesph Quinn whos great has a small bit as a guard at Winterfell. Before his Stranger Things role that propelled him

Clay F

Good point John. I sync mine at the HBO fuzzy intro, so I would be unaffected if she skip the recap. Yet, I guess just easier to keep the recap. Not that long, and not a waste for me b/c I do stuff, get settled, etc..

John A

Great to rewatch the series again, and love the reaction on who you like and do not like at this point.

Doug Fisher

You should probably save your money as you already have the best of GoT. The last 3 seasons start dropping of a cliff.

Clarence Newman

And when you get to Newcastle, it becomes even more obscure, because "my Nora" and "my David" become "wor Nora" and "wor Davey" (wor meaning our). Strange accents we have over here.

Fireteam Joker

I get where you're coming from, but I imagine she's watching a LOT of different things at the same time.

Clarence Newman

Our excitement might be rubbing some people's faces in it, guys, and I'm not unmindful of that. But for me, it's like getting my face pushed into a caramel cake. Now all I need is my bloody DVDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clarence Newman

Have to be careful with that, Gray. I mean, I'm with you - I could binge on it with Cassie every day. But for the non-GoT fans, she really needs to keep to 2 episodes (one slot) per week. (Dang, it hurt me to say that.)

Clarence Newman

Given how into it she seems to be, I doubt she'd be against watching 3 episodes back to back. I doubt any of of us would either - GoT fans or not. In terms of time, it would only be three hours, which would be good training for when she finally watches Papillon, Gone With The Wind and Spartacus.

Gray

Oh no i'm not asking for more episodes i'm just saying that Thursday is preferable for me as I work weekends. Although she could always watch more episodes in a single slot 😉

Clarence Newman

There's a lot of fun to be had once Cassie gets to know all these great characters, and I mean in terms of great films they've appeared in. I've already mentioned Peter Dinklage in The Station Agent (2003), but how could she not look at Robert Baratheon and want to see him as a male stripper in The Full Monty (1997)? You won't regret it, missy. They don't call him The Big Jiggly for nothing.

Ian Tonge

I don't think Ned needs a fancier name, I think Ned suits him perfectly. Being a leader is job to him, not a status symbol or a path to wealth and power, and he takes his job seriously. He doesn't need an elegant or refined name because he's not an elegant or refined man, he's a practical, no nonsense, blue collar worker from The North who's job _happens_ to be being the head of a great house.

MikeLL

There's no harm in watching the recap, but there is no harm in editing it out, either. But Cassie might make some comment while watching, so I guess they are here to stay. I imagine that the people watching on Max get the recaps also, while I watch on my DVD set, and I don't.

MikeLL

And general cleaning agents were not plentiful at the Wall, I imagine. So it would serve both purposes, general cleaning and disinfectant.

Ocelot

I didn't have access to HBO so I waited for the DVD releases each year, GoT is still one of my favourite series

MikeLL

So many more comments to avoid.

Cole Jennett

We don’t have recaps on our HBO streaming service in Canada either

Milton Reduxed

@Clarence, actually I say the opposite and either get it done as quickly as possible or set up a higher (TV + movie) tier, like Verowack, so those people who are not interested in TV, or just not this particular series, can drop down and pay less for 2 movies a week

Clarence Newman

There's been some discussion about Cassie doing 3 episodes per sitting, Milt. That would get it done quicker.

Clarence Newman

I think the only real problem we have there is "expectation" spoilers - as in, "You'll love the next episode" or "bring tissues for this one" or such. I don't think most people are dickhead enough to drop an "oooh, Tyrion's adamantium claws turn into bones in the next one!" She'd be fine reading the comments.

Vak

I love the fact that Cassie's reaction to Sam almost immediately went from "ooo, that's a mean face" to realizing that he's basically Westeros' biggest and most charming teddy bear. I also really enjoyed her ear-to-ear smile at meeting Syrio Forel, (formerly) First Sword of Braavos. Also, did she refer to Jon in passing as "Sir" (yeah, I know it's technically "Ser," but she's watching, not reading) or "Lord" Cutie? I choked on my beverage a bit at that point and can't be sure of the exact phrasing. Cassie, that's two lost relaxing sips of a drink you owe me, after coming up with "Bran Muffin" last time.

Cole Jennett

Careful guys. Game of Thrones is the kind of show where every character is kind of at risk, so you are giving life expectancy spoilers, lol

Clay F

Most of my female friends who watched the series were smitten by Jon Snow. He has the looks and the character.

Clay F

Cole -- that's interesting. US HBO Max (in which I am subscribed has the recaps). There have been other series on US HBO Max that she (or other reactors) reacted to and I always started the sync at the HBO fuzzy intro screen. I have the GoT first season on US Amazon Prime Video (that I bought for cheap a while back at a discounted price). The way Prime Video does it is if you start an episode afresh, it shows the recap. Yet, if the episode is an autoplay from a previous episode (which is the case when am I watching her reaction to the 2nd episode of the two episodes she is reacting to that reaction slot), Prime Video skips the recap and starts at the HBO fuzzy screen. I like starting the sync at the HBO fuzzy intro screen.

Clay F

This GoT reaction drop midday yesterday scratched an itch for me. I find my anticipation is peaking w/your GoT reaction. While in past, I always looked forward to your reactions generally to drop, I am patient. I don’t sit around twiddling my thumbs waiting for drops. I have other stuff to do. However, with GoT, I feel anticipation for sure more than usual. Similar to when I joined 2+ years ago and binged your full reactions to Band of Brothers. There has been an occasional favorite movie I had increased anticipation. Yet, GoT is grabbing me. I think in part b/c of nature of a reaction to stellar (iconic) long series, which can be a basis for rich reaction. Look forward to your interpretation – weekly discussion on evolving character development/arcs, storylines, etc. Don't get that with a 2-hr movie. I prefer The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and The Wire over GoT – but GoT will do just fine. More than just fine. GoT is awesome. All 4 some of best TV in history. Don’t see many IMDb average user ratings at 9+: -Game of Thrones. IMDb 9.2 (avg rating by 2,500,000 users) -The Sopranos. IMDb 9.2 (536,000 users) -Breaking Bad. IMDb 9.5 (2,400,000 users) -The Wire. IMDb 9.3 (409,000 users)

Clay F

Yes, definitely buy the last 3 seasons.

ArsTropica

I've never heard Cassie compliment an actor's appearance so openly. I felt a petty twang of inferiority when she said it jk.

Clay F

I do like the movie format (self-contained within about 2-hr period). As for the channel mix, the 1/3 series and 2/3 movie is perfect for me.

Philip Alan

I say start the reaction right when the first scene appears. :) haha. I skip all that when I watch with her.

Philip Alan

We didn't have that after the first few episodes. Let her experience the show like we did. Maybe? :)

Maisie

"Ser Cutie" is "McDreamy" level genius lol

Maisie

His full name is Eddard Stark anyway.

Maisie

Wait did Cassie call Jamie Lannister "the sister sexter" in the outro of ep 3? Someone please confirm because I am cackling.

Keith Jacobsen

Cass, did you notice the actor who plays The Hound is "Lurch" from Hot Fuzz? The guy who says "yarp"?

Kawaii Leonard

IDK. Out of the 2 older "Stark" siblings, I always found Robb Stark (Richard Madden) better looking. That jawline.

kaiielle

YES I laughed so hard at that remark hahaha

kaiielle

Kawaii, I'm definitely on the Robb > Jon when it comes to physical appearance, although Kit Harington does get more attractive as he ages.

It has been so long since I've watched S1 of GoT that I had to do a double take haha, I forgot he had been in GoT so briefly.

Wonderful reactions! I am also a big fan of Ned's relationship with Arya. And Syrio Forel is such a fun man and a great teacher. Those scenes are really fun. I laughed when Cassie said that Jaime Lannister always seems like he knows he's on camera. 😅 For so many of us, he resembles Prince Charming in Shrek 2. 😂

Love Cassie's description of King Robert: "Hes in debt and he talks about whores alot" LOL

Vak

I mean, she's not wrong. Along with "drinks too much" and "likes hunting just to get the hell out of the castle," those DO seem to be his primary character traits. If it wasn't for his deep friendship with Ned, and the occasional mutually-enjoyable swapping of old war stories with Barristan Selmy that this last episode hinted at, he'd be on the verge of having zero redeeming qualities. And even there, at this point he's almost a ghost of the fierce warrior they remember.

Brian

Exactly, she was right on point! A better or more concise description of Robert I cannot imagine

Canadianant

She is in! Our good lady Cassie has the bug. Great characters all around, alliances starting to form. Sides taking shape. Like some others here, I was pleased that you quoted the wonderful a knights tale but then was also saddened by the fact we can't have a Cassie and Carly reaction to it. It's a perfect Cassie film. Action comedy romance all in one with a heart warming ending. Can't wait for more GoT.

So, uh...you're binging the rest of the series in the next upload, right? Please? PLEASE!

As a bunch of people have said "Ned" does have have fancier name, it's "Boromir"... just kidding, it's "Eddard Stark" and it gets shortened to "Ned". However, his titles are even more fancy..."Lord of Winterfell" , "Warden of the North", and "The Hand of King Robert Baratheon". Although Cassie you're right, "Joffrey" is a liar, "Cersei" was teaching him the basics of propaganda, and the old adage of 'history is written by the victor", in this case the victor being the party with the most power. "Lord Vaerys" is the husky, bald gent from the "small matters committee". The old "Grand Maester Pycelle" is played by Julian Glover who many people know as "General Veers" in "Empire Strikes Back" or "Donovan" in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". Not sure if this has been mentioned here or the first 2 episodes, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau "Jaime Lannister" was one of the snipers that sacrificed their life to protect the pilot that was eventually captured in "Black Hawk Down"... the cast of that movie was full of young actors that are all quite well known now. I have to say I am probably enjoying this journey through GoT this time through more than my first run, and I already it the first time around.

Mike Lemon

Probably for the opposite reason as you, but +1 to this!

Ed Vicenti

Ah, Cassie. Our sweet summer child...enjoy the journey.

The expression on Cassie's face as she sits through the episode recaps, my wife told me that I have the same expression while waiting for the UHD Blu-ray disc to load up -- it takes about the same amount of time! YT and streaming have spoiled me. I've lost patience for physical media -- but that's the only way to guarantee I retain access to my media. I'm glad that Cassie acknowledged GoT's iconic title credits in her episode 4 reaction. The last location was Vos Dothrak, where Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Khal Drogo (Jason Mamoa) are in the episode. FYI, the map of the world changes to reflect the locations depicted in each episode, to give the viewer a sense of where the characters are in relation to each other. For example, in the first episode, Pentos was shown on the map because that's where Daenerys married Drogo. Now Vos Dothrak is shown instead, because they've been journeying there. Another bit of non-spoiler info about the title sequence: The elaborate animations of the castles and buildings rising up, they are visual representations of the political intrigue and complex MACHINATIONS of the characters playing the Game of Thrones.

Ser Hugh of the Vale wore the absolute dumbest helmet you could wear for a joust.

Doug Fisher

Exactly. That is where the "Sweet Summer Child" axiom for innocent or naive came from.

James M

Yes these are British accents. Not all of the actors are British though. Dinklage is not and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lannister) is Danish for example. Sean Bean (Ned Stark) is British and has a Yorkshire accent. I heard (perhaps a joke or perhaps not) that the reason the northerners have this accent is that Bean could not perform any other accent so all the actors playing northerners tried to adopt a Yorkshire accent.

Clay F

During intro in "To Catch a Thief" (1955) reaction (w/Carly), Cassie commented on GoT, indicating that didn't think Carly could handle GoT. Initially, Cassie noted her PPOTM = Bringing Up Baby (1938) last month and To Catch a Thief this month. Cassie: “So I am just on this classics streak.” Carly: “Here we go.” Cassie: “Need some balance from Game of Thrones.” Carly: “That’s probably fair.” *Cassie: “The more I watch that show, I’m like she [pointing finger at Carly] could never.”

Rod Reavern

Even if Cassie did binge GoT and got through the entire series in a few weeks, PiB would only release one GoT reaction video per week, with 2 episodes per video because they're about the same length as a feature film. That's simply how the subscription-based content creation model works.

Johnny Bullis

Hey Cass.. may I suggest a notebook to keep track of all the story threads and characters? I wish I had done that when this show started.. GoT has a knack for giving more questions than answers.. trust me.

Catherine LW

I am no expert on British accents but did Rob Stark sound West Country?

Geoman

No Catherine, Rob Stark is played by Richard Madden a Scottish actor from Elderslie on the suburbs of Glasgow.

Eric Moore

I’m surprised you didn’t react to “oh my sweet summer child…” But no worries. Winter is coming my sweet summer child.

Yeshi

Wish there was some fixed schedule so I dont keep refreshing PiB Pateron every few hours lol. I do need a life ;p

Joe J

Cassie's never really had any kind of precise schedule for uploads. (3) reactions a week...but when the uploads actually happen varies a lot from week to week.

AdrianF

Mike if you don’t watch, why comment? It’s every upload and tiresome as f.

Clay F

Wait till this Wed 8/20 to start refreshing. Her week generally runs from Wed (first day) to Tue (last day). She already posted GoT reaction her this week (on Thu), so her next GoT reaction will likely not post until her next week Wed 8/20 to Tue 8/26. Thus, start refreshing this Wed 8/20. My guess is her next GoT reaction will post on Thu 8/21 (early in her week), Fri 8/22, Sat 8/23, or Sun 8/24. Could be Mon 8/25 or Tue 8/26 but that late in her week I think less likely due to her interest (and overall interest).

Yeshi

Thanks Clay!

Clay F

She seemed less tired in the reaction to episode 4.

Brian

Sweet summer children don't get the reference until they are old tired winterfolk like us

thansen

I doubt she will enjoy this journey.

Mike Lemon

@Clay - Tuesday is the first day (the Upcoming "*this* week"- she says it almost every time), Monday is the last. @Main- Uploads (full) are usually Thursday, Saturday, Sunday (evening or nights) with Monday being a make-up day.

Zane From Canada

I'm one of the very few people who hasn't watched this show...yet. Will it be watched in it's entirety?

Cole Jennett

There’s no reason to assume otherwise. So far, she’s invested.

J.D. Montgomery

"small matters committee": I missed that... lol. It's called the Small Council not because of what it discusses, but from its small number of members.

Mojo One Thousand

Yes, but "small matters committee" is what Cassie called it based on the wry exchange between "Ned" and the council members when they are introduced to each other.

Clay F

Yes, Game of Thrones will be watched in its entirety.

Darren Harrison

I assume so. Cassie is enjoying the show very much

Catherine LW

So he was using his own Scottish accent? Geez, I usually recognize the Scottish accent. 🤷🏻‍♀️

John Burns

It's wise to plan season to season or month to month. You don't need to think you need to get all of the seasons or pay for six months right away. As you see her reactions you can make up your own mind if she's going to move on to the next season.

Tyler Lathrop

4 days without GOT, slowly going through withdrawal

Yeshi

Day 6 Tyler haha.

Kit Taylor

So glad to be on this journey with you! I know you can't go quicker but I want to binge so bad. I'm purposely waiting until I'm behind 5-6 episodes so I can rock through them with you until the next post. Keep up the good work.

Daniel

I have forgot how good season 1 is. The casting, the set ups, the dialogue... it's flawless.
