Watch the full reaction to Game of Thrones (S1 E5-E6) - Full Reaction on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Connor P

Eyyyy, first!

Yeshi

Finally haha

Ike

Wow, moving right along! If my calculations are correct, when Cassie reaches 88 miles-per-hour… we’re going to see some serious stuff.

Blake Evans

And it only gets better from here.

Clarence Newman

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!! Get in there, you beautyyyyyyyy! Whooooooooooooo!!!!!! I mean....ahem.....steady on, Cassie. There was no need to rush.

Doc Larry/old geezer

I’m glad I stretched my TV watching and committed to watch this show. It is quite entertaining.

Above Average Dave

CASSIE YOU MAGNIFICIENT REACTOR — I READ YOUR POST!! (translation: Thank you! This is my cardio day and you just made the upcoming 12k on the rower MUCH easier! Best. Cardio. Coach. EVER!)

MikeLL

Game of Thrones Thursdays? I'm down with that!

Mark T

Every week I patiently wait for two things, a new episode of Dexter Resurrection and a new GoT reaction from Cassie!

Gray

Loving these Thursday GoT uploads, long may it continue!

Chris Thom

I keep forgetting about Dexter. It was just the prequel there for a while.

Cole Jennett

Peacemaker Season 2 starts tonight too!

Bill Maurer

It only gets heavier as the show continues ...

AdrianF

This is the best timing ever... but Not Today. {shameless edit}

Clarence Newman

Of course, this dropped at 4:05pm over here, which is 25 minutes before the end of my work day, which means I will have to spend time with my pesky wife this evening instead of Cassie, so I won't be able to watch these reactions till tomorrow morning. Cassie needs to move to Tadley, Hants.

Clarence Newman

Or I need a trial separation for 6 to 8 months.

Clarence Newman

I like seeing Cassie "giddy". It's a state of being we so rarely achieve in life.

Chris Thom

Is this your first time watching? How far along are you? Was just debating starting it.

Laura Thornley

He's been a good student and learned a new language quickly! A+

Laura Thornley

It truly was a magical time when this show was first airing. A real cultural touchstone that brought so many people together to wonder how things were going to develop next week. I miss not knowing!

Doc Larry/old geezer

Chris Thom First time seeing it and I’m watching it with Cassie‘s reactions.. It’s like watching it with a friend even virtually. I even have my family watching it.

Michael West

These reactions have been so much fun to watch. So glad you are enjoying them. Lord Varys' character is so complicated and so good.

Cole Jennett

Chris, if you’ve never seen it, no better time than having Cassie joining you

Chris Thom

I've only seen season 8, weirdly. But I was very, very confused about what I was watching.

RX2904

Cassie your audio is distorted. Mic gain much too high.

Joe

Get some help dude. Nobody believes your cringe, simp ass is married

Laura Thornley

Okay, so Robert fears the unborn baby because (assuming its a boy) he would have a claim on the Iron Throne and also have the loyalty of the Dothraki . He could safely ignore Visrys as he had no friends abroad and no money to buy mercenaries (and presumably knows via informants how incompetent and unliked he is), but the child would be something to rally around. It wouldn't take many Lords in the Seven Kingdoms to bring about a new rebellion in the name of the boy, to send ships to bring him and the Dothraki across the Narrow Sea and plunge the realms into the deadliest war in hundreds of years.

Bill Maurer

Great scene between the King and Cersei and the real introduction to Bronn. Guy who just happens to be around when needed ... for a price.

Baldemort

I wonder who Cassie fav characters will be. I think Tyrion or Sansa. After just episode 2 I was already loving tryrion.

Ben

New sub here, how do i watch unblurred/muted version?

Cody Nelson

Comment of the day right here.

Just Plain Bob

Ben, good to have you here and welcome! You have to have your own copy to watch along with the full length reactions. Copyright laws prevent Cassie from showing the video unblurred. I just match the time stamp on her blurred video to the time stamp on my copy to get them synched up (pausing one or the other until the two match).

Kawaii Leonard

You can't show full versions as it's against copyright laws. You just have to match the timing with your own version on another screen (on HBO Max or DVDs).

Clay F

Ben, there is no unblurred/unmuted version. Instead, you sync your stream of the episodes with her blurred/muted version. Her version is unblurred and unmuted briefly at the beginning of each episode to make easier to sync. For me, I watch her reaction on a PC, and I stream GoT episodes from US max.com on my TV or on a second monitor of my PC. Sometimes, I will watch her reaction on my laptop, and stream GoT episodes from US max.com on TV or PC. Sometimes, I will watch her reaction on my PC, and stream my content side-by-side on the same PC monitor. It's really easy to do and you get used it. If you have your own physical media of GoT you can use that as your copy. As stated in the Kernel Club tier ($10/mo) when you sign up: ***You will need your own copy of the Movie/Show to watch a long.***

Clay F

Her audio is crystal clear for me -- not distorted. Maybe it has been corrected in the last couple of minutes?

Donald Marshall

Can’t even begin to describe how happy I am Cassie is getting into this 🤣 we also need a new t shirt design so…I’ll allow it 😅

Donald Marshall

For me it was only in the last like one or two minutes the show was totally fine just the last bit of the outro got noticeably very loud

Nick Ireland

Make sure you're watching with subtitles for the Dothraki parts. In episode 6, Daenerys translates something Drogo says "I'll give him a crown and people will tremble when they see it" and Cassie remarked "I don't think that's what he said" which makes me think she's not using the subtitles? MIght be wrong!

Kawaii Leonard

Geography wise, the Eyrie is the castle where Tyrion/ Cat are at, the Vale is the region (kingdom). Although she is nuts, you kinda have to feel for Lysa Arryn (Tullly). Her older sister married Ned, who is roughly the same age, where Lysa had to marry a very old man (Jon Arryn). Jon was Ned's father figure.

AdrianF

I envy your virginity Doc! Enjoy the ride

AdrianF

Fine here

AdrianF

Can you imagine even HBO going with this today Laura?

AdrianF

She was properly excited before episode one. Genuinely made me excited too. As she said, it's been a while

Jimmy Stewart

I’m waiting until she has 8 episodes in the bank and then I’ll binge watch them with Cassie, 2 episodes a week is torture, I want at least 4 .

Art of Free Speech

How funny!?! I did my upper body dumbbell workout while watching... easiest half hour of upper body work ever!

Art of Free Speech

Loved it when she said "guys... it just gets better."

RX2904

Thanks Cass. It was very noticeable for me in the beginning when you had a lot of energy and talked louder. As the episode went on you grew more quiet and the audio was fine because of it. 🙂 I’m already in the final minutes of the 2nd episode so no need to change it on my account if no one else “complains”. As always I appreciate what you do for the channel! Enjoy your day and don’t be sad because of your kids growing older.

Above Average Dave

Cassie has personally gotten me through approximately 460+ cardio workouts, Art. And I hate cardio. Best. Trainer. EVER!

Art of Free Speech

It's so awesome that you get giddy before watching these, Cassie! That's exactly how I feel when I see your reaction drop, and I know I get to spend 2 hours with you watching Game of Thrones. I truly have never been as excited for reactions by anyone of anything as I am for you watching GoT. And yes... we definitely had watch parties--even dress up costume watch parties for GoT, though usually that was for the binge watching of the prior season right before the new season started.

Jarron Khan

How did we ever wait years for an episode?

David Bennett

Really enjoying your reactions Cassie! I must point out that the way Viserys was executed ignores real physics: the hottest a typical campfire gets is maybe 600 degrees F. In order to melt gold, a fire needs to reach 1947 degrees.... for historical reference, a roman named Marcus Licinius Crassus (wealthiest Roman in the historical record, worth some 200 BILLION dollars in today money) was said to have been executed after having marched into Parthia in an attempt to seize MORE gold and presiding over one of Rome's greatest defeats at the battel of Carrhae by having molten gold poured down his throat by his Parthian captors. I'm guessing GRRM took some inspiration from that historical tidbit.

Flexwave

We all hate the Lannister's (other than Tyrion) but Catlyn is so much to blame for everything happening in the capital.

Jimmy Stewart

We had no choice then, now we can just nudge Cassie a little for more because she appears to be hooked and nothing to stop her from binging GoT but time, family and life🤣

Tara ✨💫

Cassie, if you know someone with the GOT DVD’s I suggest you watch the bonus features for season 1. There aren’t spoilers, but it’s world building explaining things like how The Wall came to be and gives some history about the world regarding the wars, characters and rebellion they talk about, which will help you understand things better. Danaerys’ father was the “mad king” Aerys Targaryen before Robert won the throne during the rebellion. That is why her awful brother wanted the Dothraki army because he believed that he was the rightful king as the mad king’s last son. If Danaerys has a son with Khal Drogo, he could have a claim to the throne along with an army. That is why King Robert wants them killed.

Baldemort

I agree but i still think there is a difference in morals when it comes to what the Lannisters are doing vs Catlyn. Its still easier to be more empathetic to the starks even if they make the "wrong" choices. imo. But thats what makes this shows awesome. You can love and hate eveyone almost.

Tara ✨💫

@Ben any other Patreon channels who shows the full unblurred video runs the risk of having their channel deleted for copyright infringement

Cole Jennett

Let’s do our best staying away from life expectancy spoilers. This is a show where not everyone makes it through, so saying “so and so” is your favourite character has implications.

Kawaii Leonard

I actually never had anyone react so strongly about Jory's death. A note about Jory, he is Jory Cassell, and the old knight following Cat around (with his side burns tied up in a knot under his chin) is Jory's uncle, ser Rodrik Cassell.

Cole Jennett

I was nervous when in the last episodes she said she really liked him. It’s still a shocking death.

Johnny Bullis

Cassie Cassie Cassie.. I found it hilarious that you said at the start of the 6th episode that you didnt want to wait for the intro cause you wanted to get into the show.. my friend, remember, there was a time when we had to wait a whole week to see what happened next.. Im glad youre watching this now and not back then.. you wouldnt have been able to make it. :)

Obie Brown

"I have to go to the next episode!!" - Cassie

Clarence Newman

I tried to do that myself, Jimmy. I was waiting for my DVDs to arrive so I had 4 episodes backed up by the time they got here. Watched one, and ONLY one, on the first day, but then broke like a dry twig the next day and watched all 3 of the others back to back. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can just watch one and leave the rest till later, mate. It's like Grandma's cookies.

2-Can

The Mongols did something similar, although the story I’m thinking of may have been with silver. I always assumed the Dothraki were meant to loosely relate to the Mongols. I’ve seen a couple of videos interviewing George RR Martin, and he pronounced Dothraki as ‘Dothrak-AYE’ (more like Uruk-hai from LOTR) - surprised me that he wouldn’t have impressed that upon the producers.

2-Can

Right, we had no choice - which meant that a lot of us went and read the books and, like Cassie mentioned this being the birth of reaction shows, went looking for good discussion videos explaining things.

Steve Mercier

"A Lannister always pays his debts."

Erik Locquiao

Then we had to wait a YEAR or longer for the next season. Still waiting for season 3 of House of the Dragon…

Ullrich Pfeiffer

Poor Jaime just wants to save his brother. He's an arrogant asshole, but he isn't really wrong here. If the Lannisters had kidnapped Ned's brother, he would start a fight just the same.

Omar

I almost want to wait till all the full reactions are out so I can binge the rest

Omar

Also, this is a great rewatch because there are quite a few details that I don't remember from watching before

Obie Brown

Always watch the opening credits, Cass! The map they show updates each episode so they show you all the locations that will be featured.

Obie Brown

The histories and lore DVD extras are outstanding and she should deff watch them between seasons.

dave

I love how excited you are about watching this. Your positive emotions are contagious.

Clarence Newman

There's not that much willpower in the seven kingdoms, Omar!

Obie Brown

If she is watching on HBO Max, the Dothraki subtitles are hard coded and will show no matter the subtitle settings. In this scene however, characters were translating for each other so they did not show subtitles, for redundancy I suppose.

Clay F

Great reaction. I also liked Jory.

Obie Brown

And so many other great characters to come.

Obie Brown

A binge is both a blessing and a curse, she mentioned that she is not able to talk about the episode while waiting a week for another, and if we had Game Of Thrones parties ( which I had..so much fun!)

Steve Mercier

The look on your face when you met Lady Lysa Arryn and her son Lord Robin Arryn during his, eh, feeding time was everything.

DAVID COSTELLO

You finally got to what we call the Gold Bucket Challenge

Clay F

E5 outro: “Ok, short outro. I need to make sure Ned is ok. I hate Jaime Lannister so deeply. So deeply. Jory was very sweet…. Oh my gosh. I don’t know. I can’t focus. I have to go to the next episode. … But, ok, they do need to release Tyrion. They need to stop breastfeeding their 12-year old.”

Nick Ireland

Ah ok good, thanks. I'm not watching on HBO so that explains it! My version had subtitles for that whole scene.

Julien

I've followed reactors who have shown reactions with fully unblurred video for years with zero issue on Patreon. They upload to Vimeo or other non-YT host. I have never seen a single channel get shut down for this.

MGCR

Bran, the paraplegic boy, is ten.

Rod Reavern

Indeed, the characters in GoT didn't know about dominant and recessive genes, which is why Jon Arryn didn't have definitive proof that Cersei's children weren't Robert's. It's actually far more complex, because it's not a single gene that determines hair colour, but basically, the blonde parent can only pass on blonde hair genes, whereas IF the black-haired parent is carrying a blonde recessive gene from their family line, there's a chance it can be passed on to the child. Two recessive blonde genes will produce a blonde child. A parent with one dark-haired dominant gene and one blonde recessive gene has a 50% chance of passing on the recessive blonde gene. If the other parent is blonde, there's a 50% chance the child will be blonde. If both parents are dark-haired and both carry a blonde recessive gene, the odds are 25%. However, it's the fact that all three of Cersei's children were blonde that makes it suspicious. I can attest that family hair colour is complicated, because I had dark hair as an infant, then my hair turned as blonde as Cassie's from age 1 to 4, then sandy blonde until I was about 9, then brown, and now my hair is so dark brown that it's often mistaken for black. My dad had black hair, whereas my mom and her two brothers had blonde hair as children (like mine was). My mom had blonde hair until she got married, and my uncles had brown hair and black hair as adults. In the past ten years, I've found red hairs in my beard and occasionally on my head. My paternal grandmother and aunt had red hair. My wife is a natural blonde, and she tells me that her mother was blonde until she got married and had children, then her hair darkened. A possible predictor of what is to come. So hair colour is extremely complicated and changes throughout a person's life, which is why in GoT, Jon Arryn didn't act on the information. We'll see what Ned does...

JRCortez

I remember when Cassie announced that GoT was coming soon. About half of you guys reacted like you were trying to protect your 12-year-old baby sister from the world 😆.....

Canadianant

Loved watching this again with you . So many great Cassie moments in these episodes. The 10 second pause/delay on your face after the crown for a king scene. I forgot how great this show was. The characters are so fantastic in this. I'm so pleased you are enjoying this and can't wait until next week . Almost wished you could have just binged it all!

Steve Holton

Good point. Both my grandparents on my mother’s side are from the Azores Islands off the coast of Portugal and have the corresponding dark hair. My mother and all of her siblings have the same dark hair, but several of their children have blonde hair. To your point about recessive genes my brother Michael has blue eyes and married a girl with blue eyes. So, given the genetic properties of recessive genes, they can only have blue eyed children. Which they did. My DNA test said I was 1/3 southern European, which means my mother is at most 2/3rds southern European. So there had to be some mixing in with Northern European settlers (Those from Flanders) in the Azores Islands. And no, I don't look like Dad's former assistant or anything like that 😊

aarswft

A tough pill to swallow is that Jamie is legitimately one of the best fighters in the world.

Christian Juhlfeldt Øien

It is too funny when you are butchering the names xD Hair color is a complicated thing. My father's side all have black hair, but my mother's side is more mixed, though no true blondes (but sometimes redheads, auburn heir and mostly green or blue eyes). My siblings all have brown eyes and dark hair. My hair is dark brown, not as my father's black hair. My wife was platina blonde until puberty and then a little bit darker. I'd call her natural color now brunette. But all our children are lighter than me. two boys have brown eyes, but the youngest is platina blonde with blue eyes. I never thought my paternal grandmother's sami genes would relent, but they did in the end.

Milton Reduxed

@ Julien, yeah I've subscribed to a couple, but at some point that is going to come to end; there's no way the rights-holders aren't going to sue patreon at some point, and all those previous reactions are going to have to be made compliant with the law

Story Archer

I feel like we have to nip this in the bud because its something that has driven me nuts about casual GoT fans... her name is absolutely not 'Khaleesi'. It's Daenerys (DAY-nare-is) Targaryen, or 'Dany' for short. Khaleesi is a Dothraki title referring to the wife of the Khal, and a Khal is a chieftain of a Dothraki horde or 'khalasar'. His name is not Khal Drogo, it's Drogo - Khal Drogo basically means 'Chief Drogo'. I honestly can't tell you how many people were in season 3 or 4 still thinking that her name was khaleesi. I know she's not reading the comments right now, but can one of my brothers-in-arms who has access to her pass that along please?

Brian's Dog

She seems to be figuring out plots way faster than I did the first time. I was lost then, heck, I'm still lost. So I can't tell if she is guessing right on some of that.

LukeG84

I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to get invested now.

Tara ✨💫

Hi Cassie, just in case you didn't know why episode 5 was titled The Wolf and the Lion, the Stark sigil is a direwolf and the Lannister sigil is the iion. The Targaryen's is a dragon, which is why Dany and her brother refer to themselves as dragons. Baratheon is a stag. When you watch the opening when it says "Game of Thrones" each one of those animals is on each corner of the title.

Julien

I don't know about "there is no way." Also, your comment kinda confirms to me that people are speaking with certainty about something they've never actually seen: a Patreon getting shut down for this. It's just all speculation being confidently proffered with the certainty of absolute knowledge. It's complete nonsense. The reality is that reactors have been doing this years upon years with zero problems.

kaiielle

@Julien - A studio can file a DMCA claim to Patreon, which Patreon passes onto a creator and the creator is required to remove the copyright-infringed content, or have their page shut down and unable to come back. The studio could also do this directly to Vimeo or whatever other third-party platform the reactor uses. This has happened to two reactors that I know of, a few years ago. Just because you've never personally seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And just because some reactors seem to "be fine" right now, doesn't mean they always will be...

Ryan Burt

Thought someone was breaking down my door when you were cracking your fingers.

Story Archer

Was anyone else waiting for her to recognize Tonks?

ShoopIndy

The "OMG, Joffrey is an incest baby!" reaction was priceless. I just wish I wasn't drinking a beer at the time. Zombie Dust squirting out the nose turns out to be rather painful.

Clay F

She doing better the me on my first watch in picking up and deciphering stuff.

Clay F

E6 outro: “It’s getting even better. And then there’s this whole other element. … like she touched the dragon egg. And the snow walkers. [T]here’s this whole other magic that I’m not sure how that’s going to play into the series, but I’m in guys. Hooked.”

2-Can

Cassie - your plot comprehension and analysis (which is typically impressively high) here is exceeding even that time you called out that Sonny Corleone’s murder was a set-up. As others have noted, after each episode HBO has a short ‘documentary’ on that episode which covers plot points without giving spoilers - they come on after the end-credits.

Cole Jennett

Toes to be more accurate😂

Rick Mason

One of the many things I like about this show is the music and how each character gets their own. The main title theme sets the overall tone, and the music starts following individual characters and houses from the very beginning of the series, with these themes developing and becoming more prominent as the story unfolds. It is just another aspect of the brilliance of this show and the attention to detail that I enjoyed. As the show continues, you will start noticing as well.

Cole Jennett

That’s always bothered me too. Like when Emelia Clarke would ever appear on talk shows they always referred to her as Khaleesi instead of Danaerys. Annoying.

Walter

everytime Joffrey says, "You're my lady", I want to throw up.

Cole Jennett

Nah, he gave the order to kill all the Stark men, that wasn’t necessary.

John A

Yes loved those reaction, I laughed so much on the last one. Although I was worried Cassie would have a hard time with a lot of it, it goes to show how good this show is that, it keeps you in it.

Cole Jennett

Kind of forgot that if you only watch 2 episodes, you can go the entire reaction without seeing some characters. They weren’t at The Wall at all these episodes.

Walter

Is it weird that I feel proud when ever she absolutely nails the plot points? Cassie is all over it.

Oisin Clissmann

Mark Addy was amazing in this, he brings so much gravitas and presence to his role. That scene with him and Cersei was excellent and it showed a genuine and human side to the queen. Addy and Sean Bean were fantastic together and their superb acting really carried the bulk of the King's Landing narrative in the first season, probably carried the whole season actually. The writing and acting was so good in the first few seasons.

Above Average Dave

I was invested from the moment Cassie said, “What’s a eunuch?”

Above Average Dave

We actually had TWIN PEAKS parties and they featured doughnuts, “great coffee,” cherry pie and a log on the serving table.

Story Archer

I'm so glad I'm not alone in that.

Story Archer

We haven't even gotten to the foreplay yet. I gotta say, I became a little nervous for our sweet summer child when she took Rory's death hard...

Clay F

I thought about that = no Wall these 2 episodes.

Clay F

Cassie also seemed to gag.

Clay F

Yeah, that was impressive when she called out that Sonny Corleone’s murder was a set-up.

2-Can

It's really impressive here, or particularly so to me, b/c I twice tried to start watching it when it first came out and stopped b/c I couldn't follow the plot, tell any characters apart, or get my head around there being some kind of magic in this world. I finally had to read the first book to get a handle on what was going on before finally coming back and watching the whole show (I ended up reading every book before the start of the second season). Cassie has shown that she is able to go into a movie with an open mind and take the ride the film makers intend for her without fear of being fooled or surprised or without a need to guess what's going to happen - it shows that 'dropping the defenses' can make for a more enjoyable movie experience (other than, eg, when it causes Carly to throw a blanket over her head).

Kyle K

Jory’s father was one of Ned’s great friends. He died during Robert’s Rebellion and Ned Stark helped raise Jory like one of his sons

Cole Jennett

They are still making House of the Dragon, and I’d say it pushes the envelope just as far as this series

Clay F

It's about the characters. Characters that she can connect with. She also likes to have characters she dislikes.

Catherine LW

The death of Viserys Targaryen is lifted from the legend of the death of Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in Rome, who was killed by the Parthians by pouring molten gold down his throat. Some historians think he was first killed in battle then they poured the gold down his throat out of contempt for his greed.

My_Cousin_Mose

Its different to see Cassie rooting against a romance (Joffrey/Sansa).

My_Cousin_Mose

Thanks for reacting to these Cassie!!!!!

Kawaii Leonard

I like that the author, GRRM, is a history nerd like us. He once described traveling to see Hadrian's wall and wondering what the Roman's must've felt like looking out on the edge of civilization. Hence, we get the Wall in GOT.

Catherine LW

Yes, she’s grasped all the various plot lines.

Catherine LW

I’ve been to Hadrian’s Wall too and had the same thoughts. I would have hated to be assigned there, it would be scary with rumors of the cannibalistic Scotti and the bloodthirsty Picts.

Mohammed Alshahrani

Thank you for a great reaction. I think HBO should pay you. You made me subscribe to HBO to re-watch GOT with you and I am enjoying it even more than the first time.

Clarence Newman

Youtube Copyright Nazis! Please print off Mohammed's post and stick it on your fridge door. This is why reaction channels benefit the original content creators!

Clarence Newman

That's what total engagement will do for you.

Clarence Newman

I think I was one of them. Then she watched Passion of the Christ and I was, like...."Ok, never mind."

Clarence Newman

OK, my working day is about to start, so I've made a cup of tea, turned off my phone and set my e-mail to Out of Office. I got me some Thrones to watch and I don't want folks thinking I'm available. For those of you who feel sorry for my employer, I should point out that my board of directors is made up of Petyr Bailish, Sandor Clegane, Sir Alliser and Joffery.

Ulf Jerlström

the hair thing makes a bit more sense in the books The show skips out on the appearance of the different families for practical reasons and actors not needeing colored lenses for 8* seasons For example all the targaryens have purple eyes and westerosis are not as mixed as we are because in game of thrones Men have been around as long as us

Clarence Newman

Just a suggestion for you, Cassie. If you're finding it impossible to wait a whole week before watching more Thrones, you could always watch extra episodes on your own time, FILM THE REACTIONS, OF COURSE, and then, when it comes time to upload the next Thrones reaction vid, we can have 4 episodes instead of 2. Or 8 or 12, it's your call. None of us are going to complain if your reaction videos for GoT are 6 hours long. No extra slots taken and we all benefit. More bang for our buck, more Bran Muffin and Cutie Snow for you.

JohnnyUtah

I'm sure it's been said, or you figured it out but the "stallion who will mount the world" is a dothraki prophecy so the importance of Danaerys having a son would fulfill that. It would be the only way Drogo would go to war for the seven kingdoms. I still can't believe you're reacting to my favorite show. This is great.

7KingKong7

More GoT would be awesome!

MertzRocks

I was... Cassie, Osha the wildling was also Nymphadora Tonks in Harry Potter. I didn't realize it myself until my 3rd time through GoT (w/Ms. Gold reacting). 🤘😎🎸

MertzRocks

...and Robin is certainly NOT TWELVE! Eight at most. Still far too old to be doing what he was in his first scene (or far too young to be, depending on your POV).

Ocelot

The scene of Robert and Cersei discussing their Marriage was a result of an extra scene because the episode ran too short, Mark Addy and Lena Heady delivered an awesome performance!

2-Can

Maybe if he hadn't pushed Bran out the window, Tyrion's travels would have continued without incident. So, he's totally in the wrong here.

MertzRocks

A man in a painting in Hogwart's stairwell just said, "He's right, you know..."

MertzRocks

And I thought a certain "Awkward" creator's 'crack habit' was bad.... lol

Walter

I think everyone is rooting against that particular romance...

MertzRocks

Obie... Like a certain old-school Avenger? (disguised obscure spoiler 😜)

MGCR

I think once you have all your teeth is when you're too old for it.

Clarence Newman

Viserys was a bit of an eejit, let's face it. "Oi! Drogo! My crown! Now or I skewer your wife!" Yeah, that should've worked.

Mojo One Thousand

Pretty sure Cassie's not up for the "incesters" either.

Vak

In fairness, so is Ned. Even Ser Barristan, who certainly knows swordsmen, takes Ned's ealier comment about Barristan being much better than him as mere modesty. Jamie's not toying with him in that fight - he starts out cocky, but you can see him beginning to realize they're evenly matched, or at least close enough so that one mistake could decide the fight. If Ned is visibly putting more effort into it, that's a combination of age, and the sheer weight of Ice - probably much more effective as a weapon on a battlefield, rather than in a 1-on-1 duel. Jamie isn't exactly worried - yet - but he's definitely realizing that he bit off more than he expected. I think that's one of the reasons he's so angry at the guard who intervenes and stabs Ned through the leg. Not just because there's a huge difference to onlookers between "beating a man in a fair fight" and "flat-out executing a man who WAS fighting fair through trickery, because it was the only way to beat him" - and if "kingslayer" is a nickname spoken in whispers, THIS one would cut at the core of Jamie's sense of self - but because the guy deprived him of what was certainly the best and most challenging fight he's had in a decade. To the point that it's going to stick in the back of his head - "COULD I have lost that fight? Maybe?"

Mojo One Thousand

It's always fun when the light bulbs go off for Cassie and things start to add up.

Vak

Well, that's one of the themes of the show, especially this early on - individuals trying to put "master" plans into motion, only to have people react in ways they didn't expect, leading to situations snowballing out of control. We even see that concept explained verbatim in these two episodes, with Robert trying to protect himself against an emerging threat, only to be abandoned by the one man in the seven kingdoms he can actually trust. And THAT leads to Jamie's street attack, and his flight from the capital. And THAT leads to...well, we'll see soon. And it's not just in Westeros. Viserys was putting together a plan to gain a crown, callously using his little sister as payment for it, but THAT didn't go as planned. It's a time of upheaval across the world, where seemingly small events set massive ones into motion. Almost as if the entire world is sitting on a pile of explosives, and somebody just passed out a ton of matchbooks and Zippo lighters. Hell, we just found out that the White Walkers are frightening even the Wildlings to run not just a bit south of the wall, but "as far south as south goes." In that respect, for the sake of spoiler-protection, I don't want to get too deep into Cat's actions, motivations, or even who/what prompted them - I'll just say that her erratic and unpredictable reaction is typical of what's going on everywhere at the moment.

Vak

One caveat: I've never had a problem with one of Cassie's videos if I'm watching my copy on streaming video. But the timing can eventually begin to noticeably "drift" if one is using physical media. It's seldom a big deal if you come up for air every 30-45 minutes (or in my case, to pollute it with a cigarette outdoors) and have to re-sync, but several people have commented that it can become an issue for longer movies in particular. This isn't something Cassie can fix at her end - it's just the nature of the media.

Vak

Interesting - just based on her reactions so far, I'd have gone with Jon Snow (sorry, Cassie, I guess he's "Ser Cutie" here) or Arya. Even if "Bran Muffin" got a nickname and Arya hasn't (yet).

Cole Jennett

I’m sure it’s a question of free time not willingness.

John Doe

It is like watching for the first time seeing you react to this. keep the episodes coming!

Connor P

Viserys' actor did such a great job! He also voices some of the History and Lore episodes and some of the novelas

Baldemort

she is going to end up getting way to attached to some of these characters 😅

Art of Free Speech

I actually watched her face for a minute straight when I knew she was catching on to Joffrey's origins. Pure gold!

Clay F

Awesome scene/exchange. The dialogue and facial expressions.

My_Cousin_Mose

Your patience is admirable. The day Cassie puts GoT out is the day I'm watching it.

kaiielle

One of the best scenes in Season 1.

kaiielle

These were very fun reactions! I'm having a great time rewatching this show.

Just Plain Bob

No place else to really put this, which is sort of the point of the post. Has anyone heard about any plans to replace the old general discussion thread (FAQ thread) with something new? I thought Cassie indicated it was forthcoming soon. Then, dead silence.

Dave

It is a work in progress, should be available in the not too distant future. Stay tuned.

Ted Whalen

Bob- I think Cassie recently mentioned that they are still working on the new option for the general discussion thread.

Just Plain Bob

I hope they’re not delaying the reveal until they’ve got it “perfect.” For it to take this long, I’m concerned they might be focusing on a bunch of bells and whistles. We don’t need that. Stripped down and simple is fine. Perfect can be the enemy of good.

Cole Jennett

Meanwhile, discord is available to everyone with a Patreon membership.

Just Plain Bob

Tried it, hated it, will never use it again. Perfect example of too many whistles. The old thread was infinitely better and as simple/basic as you could ask for. That’s all we need - a thread dedicated to general film discussion. Anything else is clutter. There’s a reason the old FAQ thread was so popular. You just clicked on the Patreon icon, navigated to the thread, posted your thoughts and moved on. Everyone that was interested in using it was able to do so very simply.

Catherine LW

If a scene is too gory or disgusting she can look away. I take off my glasses so it’s a blurry. Works out great.

Cole Jennett

Discord is far better than Patreon. It’s not even close in my opinion. The only way you are notified of a reply on here is if you posted the original message. Plus you can direct message so not everyone is forced to read personal conversations. Just think about how much less scrolling through messages you’d have to do if Richard and Clarence could dm each other instead of us all having to read it. kidding, but only kinda😂 But yeah, patreon isn’t user friendly at all imo.

Just Plain Bob

Good. You can use it then. The people that used the old FAQ thread had already made their choice as to which they preferred. And, if Discord is so much better, y’all can let the patrons know you’ve abandoned the project. The talk about DMs leads me to believe it’s being loaded with precisely the kind of bells and whistles that bog such a project down. The old thread worked, people were happy with it but the attitude seems to be “NO! You have to like this other thing better.” Not interested, at all.

Cole Jennett

As someone that’s used both extensively, Patreon is by far the inferior platform for discussion, that’s all I’m saying.

Just Plain Bob

Then just get rid of comments on this platform altogether.

Ted Whalen

Bob- 100% agree with you.

Vak

Or at the very least when you can walk consistently and easily without wobbling around like a Weeble. But in fairness, we haven't seen Robin even actually stand up yet, I think.

Mike Lemon

"Patreon is by far the inferior platform for discussion" Nobody cares. If people wanted to use discord, they would be using discord. And insisting people should use it despite saying they don't want to just pisses them off.

Vak

I'd forgotten just how riveting Mark Addy is in this; he has SO many fantastic shouting and growling moments (not to mention the occasional soulful one) in this pair of episodes. Now I feel like doing a deep dive into IMDB to see if he ever shared a screen with Brian Blessed. Those two in a shouting match would be the stuff of legends. And also possibly fry more than one microphone just getting the audio.

Clay F

"He was no dragon. Fire cannot kill a dragon."

Cole Jennett

I didn’t insist they should use it, I just said it’s way better. 🤷‍♂️

Clay F

Now, Viserys wears "A Golden Crown." Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Clay F

Yep, she can always briefly look away if so chooses.

JRCortez

Most of the time when the scene appears there’s no warning. She can’t unsee what’s been seen 😱….

Just Plain Bob

Cole, with all respect, it’s like going into a hardware store, asking to look at the screwdrivers and being told you should really use a drill instead. I stated my preference, one which the users of the old FAQ thread obviously shared and, instead of accepting that and moving on, you continued to insist that I should get the drill. Regardless, all the talk of the benefits/advantages of Discord leads me to the inevitable conclusion that the new general discussion thread is, indeed, being loaded with bells and whistles. Which I have no interest in. I’d also point out, not that it should matter, that following the banter between patrons such as Richard and Clarence is a big part of the enjoyment of such a thread. The fact that you see it as a detriment is, to me, a perfect example of how the project has seemingly gone astray.

Mike Lemon

"...leads me to the inevitable conclusion ... loaded with ..." That isn't the conclusion I'm drawing.

Just Plain Bob

Mike, what do you think it is? Because what I initially suggested seemed very simple and quick to execute. It’s been weeks since then which, combined with the extolling of the virtues of Discord, is what led me to my conclusion (as well as the complete radio silence on what to expect when it’s completed - something people usually do when they think they’re going to surprise you).

Mike Lemon

I think they have nothing and are hoping people will forget, but I will be happy to be proven wrong (hopefully soon).

Just Plain Bob

I’d actually rather you were right. I think we’re gonna get some bloated mini-version of Discord. I’d rather have nothing than see such a simple idea twisted into a watered down knock off of an app I already dislike.

Erik Locquiao

It’s like I’m watching it again for the first time. This is so much fun. And it hasn’t even gotten started yet.

Mark Daniels

Have Scotty divert all power to watching these episodes and editing them for YouTube…Make it so…

JC

Lol. Cassie's takeaway from the first one was "Free Tyrion and we need to stop breastfeeding 12 year olds." I can get behind that.

Brogan

Cassie when the Mountain kills a horse: Right to jail, right away. (wish i could add the image for the meme XD)

Mark Daniels

Speaking of Star Trek, I just rewatched your Galaxy Quest reaction again because the algorithm thinks I needed a bump, and I did, but Galaxy Quest = Star Trek + Three Amigos. So…can we get Three Amigos already? Gracias

Florian Zingen

Soooo… when is the next GOT Reaction releasing? 🤣

Kit Taylor

No kidding! This is like my 7th or 8th time watching it and it's just as good as the first time, but it's the first time I've watched it along with a reactor having to wait between episodes. It's so awesome seeing someone experience it for the first time though it makes it worth it.

7KingKong7

I was about to say (no spoilers), there is so much cool stuff/plotlines that are still coming and its already so good. I forgot how i enjoyed the early seasons

Geoman

😂😂Now there's a reaction and a phrase I did not have on my bingo card and would never ever of thought would come out of Cassie's mouth..." They need to stop breastfeeding the 12 year olds" 😂😂

Clarence Newman

Just stumbled across this thread. The whole thing has been quite disappointing. The FAQ thread was a pretty big deal for some of us, taken away weeks ago with no warning and we're still sitting here wondering what (if anything) it'll be replaced with. I have to say, Cole, your suggestion that me and Richard (or others, it wasn't just us) could just DM each other so no one has to scroll through our conversations (you were kidding, but not kidding) kind of speaks to my initial concern that the desire is to push us off the site into a separate room - or, at least, the lively part of our input. I'm all for compromise, but the way it is now still doesn't feel right. Many of what I would consider FAQ thread conversations (non-post specific) now happen on the regular posts and we've already had one guy literally delete his OPs (and, as far as I can see, not return since) because he felt his post had been "hijacked" by tangent conversation. That was always a concern for me. The FAQ thread was the perfect place for that tangent conversation and was surely hurting nobody. I still don't understand it, Cole, and it's not getting better the more time goes by. I hope it's resolved soon. Until then, some of us are going to feel a little displaced.

Clarence Newman

Plus which, we've had about 20% appearance time from Mark White since, and I know the FAQ thread was important to him.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, I’ll just add that if what they’re planning is a mini discord or dm’s or anything like that I won’t be using it. I’ll just continue posting under the Updates comments or other comments.

Mike Lemon

Just noting- July 10 (ish) was almost 45 days ago.

Clarence Newman

I can answer that, Florian - not soon enough!

Florian Zingen

I'm with you there, especially in times when all content is available at any time, it's quite refreshing to relive this experience of waiting, even if I know what's going to happen. It's also very exciting for me to see how someone who is like Cassie reacts to the series.

AdrianF

I always forget how much is in the first season and have watched it all several times. Oldtimers I guess...

Just Plain Bob

Clarence and Richard, all good points which I echo.

Ted Whalen

I think the thing that makes this disappointing is the reason given was that the FAQ page was going to be updated with a form that people could use to submit questions. I was just reviewing the page and I don’t see anything new for submitting questions (unless I missed something). This does feel like they are running some type of stall tactic and hope that we just forget about the general chat thread.

Just Plain Bob

The whole thing reminds me of that kid in the neighborhood that comes across the rest of the kids playing a game. The kids are laughing and running and just having a fun time. He joins in but quickly informs the others that they’re not playing right. The next thing you know, there’s all these new rules, everything is much more structured, and people aren’t having fun anymore. PS: I just saw a thread on which several people (Clarence and Richard included) were talking in depth about the recent move toward shorter YouTube edits. It was interesting and informative and I enjoyed it. It was also EXACTLY the kinda topic that fits perfectly in a general discussion thread. Oh well, I guess y’all can DM each other. Private rooms, private conversations.

Tyler Hale

😂 😂 it’s like About Schmidt

Clarence Newman

I could never be in the same room with Richard. We'd be like James Caan and Alan Arkin at the end of Freebie and the Bean.

MertzRocks

I added, "...Do not pass GO. Do not collect 200 gold..." 😜

Jason Dolan

The best thing about this is that it has been so long since I have watched this that I don’t always remember exactly what’s going to happen in every episode

Richard Maurer

More like Christopher Lee and Brad Dourif at the beginning of Return of the King

Rick Williams

I have to agree with you. Stop breastfeeding 12-year-olds. I haven't watched these episodes seen they originally aired. It is like watching it again for the first time. There is a lot of the episodes I don't remember. But I remember the main things. Great reaction Cassie. Buckle up buttercup. The real ride hasn't even started yet.

Stephen Dias

When I saw the title, " A Golden Crown," I knew what was coming. That scene is poetic, but it is one of the most disturbing scenes in the series for me.

Anthony V Petty

Honestly didn’t think Cassie would be so in to the show this early. I thought it might take a season. But she’s hooked now, haha

Astraeos

Man, I am absolutely loving how much you are getting into this show so fast! I think it definitely helped that you watched LOTR twice, and loved it, before hand. I'm also just wondering out loud here, are there like moderators in these comments deleting anything from people who decide to post spoilers? I truly hope there are lol.

Cole Jennett

Only Ben can delete but we notify him when we see any that warrant removal.

Clarence Newman

"Only the Chosen One can get the knife. And only a man whose ass is narrow can get down these steps."

Clarence Newman

Yeah, episode title. Way to spoil the surprise! I'm the opposite, though, Stephen. I found Danerys eating the heart more disturbing than Drogo shutting Vaserys up.

Clarence Newman

Replace Dourif with Peter Cushing and you've nailed it. Remember the start of the Ebony and Ivory music video when Paulie thrusts the curtains open to let in the sunny day? That's all I'd have to do for the win.

Thoko

The reason why Lyssa said that the guy fought without honour is because in ancient societies there was an expectation about how people fight with dignity and traditional style. Running away and using other strange tactics like making your opponent tired was seen as cowardly and without honour. It was basically seen almost like cheating.

Steve Holton

Showrunners couldn't resist that title, since it could also refer to Ned's consideration of the golden hair of Robert's designated aire to his throne.

Clarence Newman

Very true. The boxing biopic "Gentleman Jim" covers the same sense of tradition. Up to and including the great heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan, boxers were expected to stand toe-to-toe and trade punches. Defence was considered unmanly. Hence, when James J Corbett came along and started avoiding punches instead of leaning into them, the tactic was frowned upon.

Stephen Dias

One more thing... I totally understand Cassie's point about genetics. My mom's family is (mostly) Irish and English. She and her siblings were four redheads and one brunette. My dad's family is Portuguese; they were all dark-haired, as were my brother and I (before we went grey). My son was blonde, like his mom, but it's darkened as he's gotten older. Genetics is weird. But, it was an interesting way to reveal what we all knew in GOT. Unfortunately, I know what comes next.

Clay F

“If you are a Game of Thrones hater … I’m still doing two other movie reactions a week.” “I’m excited to get back to these episodes.”

Brogan

there's some small hints that their genes must have been especially dominant (the seed is strong after all), like gendry's mom (the blacksmith b-word) being described as a blonde, and his strong nose being emphasized. think one of the w-words was a redhead and had a black haired daughter with the nose as well. the blonde brat certainly doesn't have any of his other features! (small and easy to miss lines in the show tho)

Jeremie Key

This is my 1st time subscribing to anything on patreon, I'm happy to be here for the early access to Game Of Thrones!

The Film Effect

Damn, that scene between Robert and Cersei is so damn good. One of the best non book scenes in the show.

Mark White

Ok, I’ve just seen this thread. Cole, I don’t want to get off on the wrong foot with you because you come across as a descent guy. Please try to understand that FAQ was important to some of us, even if you can’t see the point. Discord is NOT the answer and every time a mod sez to use it, I get more frustrated and annoyed! It’s as if my feelings on this don’t matter and are just being dismissed. Discord and Patreon are different. Yes I think you agree. But just because Discord is more user friendly for you it doesn’t mean it is for me. Let me give you an example: my dear friend lizzie uses Android phones, she thinks they are great, I can’t stand them! Overall complicated and not at all user friendly (for me) I have a iPhone. Apple to me keep it simple. It’s tidy and easy to use. Simple for people like me with simple minds. A Android is more complicated for people like Lizzie who I can tell you is a complicated person! BUT, we understand that we are different people who have different needs, so there is no point me telling her iPhones are better a millions times over! It doesn’t change how she doesn’t get on with them. So, please, PLEASE try to understand it’s not one size fits all in life. We are all different in our own ways. Yes, I have my faults, many of them! And needing things simple like Patreon comment sections works for me. Discord is overally complicated to use and messy to my mind. Lastly, you are a moderator now, so you are now a representative for PiB not just another Patreon. In a way you speak for Cassie and Ben. If another patron said just you discord it’s better, I would just ignore it. But when a representative of PiB sez “use Discord” you basically saying that is what PiB (including Ben and Cassie) think. I find that upsetting that my feelings on this don’t matter to them. But, I hold on to the thought, that it was just you saying this and not them (I hope!) take a look at what Dave said. That’s all that is needed. I’m sorry if I offend you with this rather emotionally long comment. But, I hope you can understand that I feel very strongly about this matter. I do hope that you and I can still banter away on PiB in the future. Hopefully on a new general chat page would be lovely. 🙂

Mark White

Thanks Clarence, I do feel strongly about this. I just get frustrated at being told Discord is better and the lack of updates from PiB on this matter. It’s odd really that PiB can get nearly everything so right and run such a great platform/entertainment/community thingy. But this is there “chink in the armour” “Persian flaw” if you will. I suppose nobody is perfect. Especially me! I’ve got more flaws than the titanic! 😆

Just Plain Bob

Mark, good to hear from you and I agree with your sentiments. I suspect that Cassie has had little involvement in the project and that it is being worked on by one or more of the mods. I say this because she’s made reference in the past to someone else working on some aspect of the site, leading me to believe she leaves it to the “techies.” The thing I find so frustrating is that all we really wanted was a single comment thread dedicated to general discussion on films. The solution I proposed was simple (it had to be, I don’t know nearly enough to propose something complicated). I would have thought they’d only need to shoot a thirty second or less video explaining the purpose of the thread and its rules (no racism, be courteous, no religion or politics, etc), a brief bit of text reiterating these points and bundle it up in a new collection. I would have thought the entire thing could be accomplished in an evening or two at most. Instead, weeks have passed and no updates. Combined with the extolling of the virtues of Discord, I’m led to the conclusion I drew previously. It’s all very disappointing.

Clarence Newman

Welcome, mate. This was the first (and only) website I ever paid money to join too, and I'm now more than a year in. As long as your tastes don't run to three or four obscure movies, I promise you, you won't regret it.

bknsty14

That’s a show she needs to watch

Clarence Newman

Mark, Richard, Bob, Ted, Mike, Cole, Dave.... After reading Mark's additions to the conversations, I wrote the message below with the intention of posting at the top of the most recent thread (Human Comedy), thus unburying the conversation. I don't want it taking over the site, though (I'm already uncomfortable having certain conversations on specific posts rather than up on FAQ like we used to), so I have a dilemma. Do I add it on the end here (a thread where the 21 post rule has already eaten about 10 of the original comments) and just drop likes on everyone's post so they know to come here and look, or dump it on the Human Comedy thread for everyone to see? I'll take your advice on that, but for now, I've decided to put it here so it's out of the way. I've dropped a like on at least one post of everybody who commented so it gets flagged, but this way it doesn't contaminate anything else. So here it is, written as if for the latest thread: Apologies to all for putting this here, but as JP Bob mentioned in a now-buried thread, there really is nowhere else to put it right now. I realise this doesn't apply to most people, so please feel free to skip the filibuster and move on, but for some of us, it's still an issue. This message, continuing on from that original thread, is mainly for our new mod Cole, but only because Cole was good enough to engage with us over it in the first place. Dave commented too (thank you, Dave), but it was Cole who did the heavy lifting. It's important to note, Cole, that we're not trying to make life difficult for you, especially as you've only just taken on the responsibility of being a mod. We respect all the mods on here and we're going to do the same for you. All we've ever wanted is to see a solution to a problem that literally dropped out of the sky several weeks ago and hit us like a personal insult. It *seemed* (my perspective) that everything was perfect back then and what happened sort of wrecked it for a while. We've retrieved a lot of it on the main posts since then, because most of us are reasonable people and we have benevolent feelings towards the site, but it really hasn't felt the same since. To this day, I've still not heard a valid reason for shutting the FAQ thread down. It's certainly not because it had ceased to be a place folks could go and get help about FAQ- and site-related issues, because they regularly did and we always helped them. That's what it means to be a regular here. You support the site financially, you contribute to what makes it popular and enjoyable, and if people need help (newbies or regulars), you help them out. Nothing had changed in that regard. It had certainly become something more than originally intended, but I'm at a loss to understand why that 'something more' was in any way detrimental to the site. It's not as if we were up there talking about politics and religion and all manner of irrelevant crap. We mostly talked about two things - movies and Cassie. Always relevant, mostly respectful, and the odd disrespectful bit was treated the same as it gets treated on the regular posts. In other words, we always stayed true to the spirit of the channel and to our intrepid host herself. I have nothing but respect for you, Cole - and for Dave and Jon Johns and Coleton B, and also the departing Kaiielle - so I'm keen to resolve this without causing you (or Cassie and Ben) any unnecessary stress. But right now, we've still got a bit of an open wound and, from our point of view, it doesn't seem like anything tangible is being done to resolve it. As Bob said, how long does it take to set up a dedicated thread, or delete the old FAQ thread altogether (thus deleting the 10,000 residual comments), reload it as new with exactly the same FAQ information, and let us start again. As before, it will still serve its original purpose, and the general banter you seem to dislike so much will once again be off the new posts and back in the place it belongs. My question is....who exactly is going to lose if we do that?

Richard Maurer

Clarence - just remember after those curtains opened, Christopher Lee came back 6 more times.

Mark White

Thank you Clarence, those are my thoughts and feelings exactly, but put in a far more constructive and professional way. Thanks 🙂

Ted Whalen

Clarence- that is a great post. The millions dollar question seems to be where is the best place for these type of posts. I did see in The I See Some Changes post that Joe posted a message regarding the status on the FAQ post question (I think that there have been 3-4 responses). The post is towards the top of the page, so hopefully it will get some visibility. The other suggestion would be to hold off and post it in the weekly post ( hopefully that will be on Wednesday). I don’t know how many people are going to view The Human Comedy post.

Richard Maurer

Ted - Slightly more than will watch the actual movie is my guess.

Cole Jennett

Mark, if you’re telling me you can actually say that you gave it the “good old college try” then that is that. I’ve been a moderator less than a week, I haven’t become a different person. I will remind you, and everyone else on this thread that I never said “use discord”, at any point in the above messages, I just extolled the obvious advantages. I have used both Cassie’s discord (which I admit could be overwhelming until you get used to it) and her Patreon extensively for nearly 4 years, and so I believe I have an educated opinion on the subject. I will take it on faith that you all do too. If anyone wants to discuss further feel free to dm me…on a platform where you can do that sorta thing😉

Mike Lemon

Until I am proven otherwise, and I really hope I am, I will continue to cynically call BS on "working on a solution" because the solution is so simple- Just make a new pinned FAQ/General Chat post every month with a line in there that is something like- "The general chat is for movie and PIB related conversations that don't fit other posts. If you have a question about the FAQ or site in general, ask away, the regular chatters are pretty good about helping out. "Any questions they can't answer email PIB at (email address) or DM a mod on discord." -But the lack updates/progress on the "solution", the time since it was locked, and the timing and way it was done leads me to hear the message, "go make sexy time with yourself".

Clarence Newman

Why not here, Cole? I believe all the relevant points are readily available in this thread. Let's continue the conversation here so we don't have to go offsite and everyone involved can keep track of it. If I DM'd you, I'd only have to relay the conversation to everybody else on here and that's surely less efficient than using a single, rolling thread. That is one of the concerns, after all - that we're being pushed off the site. Discord, DM's...anything but just giving us a general chat thread so that every means of communicating about PiB-related stuff is in one place.

Clay F

Agree, damn good scene.

Clay F

Welcome aboard.

Clay F

I've seen comments to GoT reactions (here and on YT) and in Extra Butter chat of people joining her Patreon b/c of GoT. The number of paid Patreon members had been on a general steady decline since the first of year, but in August coinciding w/GoT start the number of paid Patreon members has jumped +600 (+20%).

John Casamassa

I'm glad for the channel, though I expect it's due primarily to morbid curiosity about how Cassie's going to handle some of the stuff in GoT. Which is unfortunate, because the channel deserves better than that.

Clay F

At least they are paying, say average $7/mo x 600 = $4,200/mo. The increase has shown no signs of waning. The trend is still upward. GoT just started. Just had the 2nd YT premier. I will be curious to see how much the +600 grows to.

Jo

Bruh she's a reactor, of course people are going to be curious about how Cassie REACTS to some of the stuff in GOT, that's literally what she's doing it for. How more growth is somehow unfortunate is a wild take.

Mike Lemon

Well, it looks like you might have your answer in the silence, Clarence.

Clarence Newman

Give him a minute, Mike. Mods have got lives too.

Florian Zingen

Today would be the perfect day to release the next Thrones reaction 😄🤝🏼 a man can hope!

Raymond Terry

Soo good to see the in-real time realization about Joffrey. Good job.

Ian A

The one thing that really stood out to me in this reaction. The Knight of Flowers actor looked like he was legit shaving that other actor. That would be trust.

Clay F

Start occasionally clicking refresh on Thursday.

Clay F

She got animated and uptight at end of Ep 5 when she thought Ned could have died from his stabbing wound. She kept Ep 5 reaction outro brief so she could start Ep 6 ASAP to confirm Ned ok. Eps 7-8 this week. Maybe tomorrow (Thursday)? Eps 9-10 next week to conclude S1.

kaiielle

Praise the camera and editing work for that one! The person who was doing the actual shaving on Gethin Anthony was a professional barber who was brought in to be the hand double.

Mark White

Cole, I know you didn’t say those exact words “use Discord” However, by constantly “extolling the obvious advantages” to use your words, you are clearly wanting us to Use it instead! It’s the same as being told to use it! But, in a passive/non direct way. So you are still indicating you would rather we use discord. I have used discord before for private conversations with Kaiielle. But I don’t like it for all the reasons I have already explained. PLEASE please, can you try to understand people are different! Some people, maybe like yourself are comfortable with Software and tech, I am NOT! Patreon chat is simple! Let me give you another example: I live in an area which has the second highest over 80’s in the country. I look after many peoples gardens and trees in that age bracket. So I spend a lot of time with people who struggle in this modern tech world. They are marginalised by taking away bank branches and post offices and making it impossible to talk to a person about their Admin. They like to use Cash and use a land line to talk to people. Not a computer or internet or an online AI system and they don’t have smart phones. I try to help them as best I can, but for some there is no way their ability’s/skill set/ brains are capable of using something complicated. OR they can just about learn it, but find it off putting due to its over-ally complicated manor. If you asked me to ring up an insurance company to change a plan or fill in a doctors form. I could, maybe do it, BUT I would have a massive headache at the end and feel very frustrated. If I asked you to sort out a 80ft cedar which has collapsed into an Oak over my house you may struggle. But the other way round it would be ok?! We all have differences and no matter how much you try to push a square peg into a round hole, it still won’t go! As for you having a “educated opinion on the subject” Well of course you do, that is obvious. You are vastly experienced. I don’t doubt that. BUT, it doesn’t change anything about how I don’t like to use Discord. I Have Tried! Cole, I do understand you like Discord, yes, and that’s great for you and the others who like to use it. So why can’t you understand that some of us don’t like the platform? Is it pride? Do you have to win a discussion? Because I don’t care about those things, I’m a humble man, who just wants to be understood. So I’m asking, please, can you be a little more sympathetic to my request, without dismissing it by going on about the virtues of Discord. PiB should be an inclusive place for all sorts of abilities and people.

@Clarence - Is that enough minutes?

Jarrod Clemens

Okay, you got me for a month. I know what happens in 6, and once I saw it was available, you sold me....

Clarence Newman

Can't leave now, Jarrod. There's no going back on taking the black! No spoilers, but you also know very well, there are things and stuff that happen in future episodes you will need to stock up on your popcorn for. Welcome aboard.

People have the strangest takes sometimes

An extremely silly post. Let people enjoy things. Khaleesi is catchy and people love it. And most perfectly understand what it means, actually. They simply like the title. And it makes sense to stick with it, as it's the first time Dany became anything, and it stuck, and rightly so. Let people enjoy things.

I find that really weird tbh. I've been watching the YT channel since the beginning and been here on Patreon on and off. Cassie is a grown ass adult and a mother at least twice over. Her constant infantilisation by a portion of this membership is... bizarre.

Amazing info! Thank you!

Andrew Myers

s1e6 is the one where Ned learns of his mother's secret heritage as a green sorcerer, yes? (if that's in a couple weeks, oops, sorry for the spoiler)

Irby

So jamie, Ned, Robert, cercei, are all about the same age. The actors in show dont show it though

So, E6: "The seed is strong." All Baratheon children had dark hair. Generations of nothing but black hair. Now, remember back when the queen was having a talk with Lady Stark at Bran's bedside right after Jamie pushed him out the window--she told a story about her firstborn and how he died. He had dark hair as well, according to the queen. This was Roberts one child with the queen. Basically, verifying the seed was still strong with the Baratheons.
