So much. I just want everyone to go back to Winterfell and be happy again.

Geoman

Cassie please dont stop playing with the knobs.. that's what he said.😉😂

Philip Alan

Quoting Rocky 4 just makes me smile so much! I've been enjoying watching this show for the first time with you, Cass.

Clarence Newman

Oh I love you. From this day forth, you have my sword. And my axe. And my bow. Now everyone shoo because I've got some righteous Thrones to watch.

Gray

Perfect timing for me , thanks

Clay F

Middle of the night watch for me. But I am working a little too.

Just Plain Bob

Paraphrasing “Evil Dead 3” aka “Army of Darkness” aka “Bruce Campbell (aka The Chin - an aka within an aka!) vs the Army of Darkness.” Nice.

Clarence Newman

Only you would make it as far as Evil Dead 3, Bob. That's some dedication.

MGCR

Methinks after every season you should check out all the History and Lore videos.

Night King01

Jamie is one of the best fighters in the seven kingdoms. But Sir Barristan Slemy, the captain of the Kings Guard is the best fighter in the seven kingdoms at this time when the series begins. Theres a bunch of great ones in the lore but Jamie is always in the top 3

My_Cousin_Mose

She really doesn't leave us any other choice.

Hans Engelen

I can't remember (damn I am getting old) ... I think I watched a few seasons in one go (was late to the party) but then yes the last seasons having to wait was murder.

Shut Up Meg

this is the beauty of working night shift this is perfect timing for me lololol

JohnnyUtah

Kind of a bummer getting this so late, thought it was going to be my new Thursday evening watch. Still looking forward to all of it!

Kawaii Leonard

To be honest, that Littlefinger/brothel scene is worse then I remember. A totally unnecessary scene and really too much telling the audience, instead of showing.

Michael West

It's so much fun to see you getting so invested in these characters. I love Syrio Forel. What do we say to the god of death? "Not Today". You are correct about waiting so anxiously for the next episode/season. I find I'm reliving that same excitement waiting on these reactions.

KTVindicare

If you can't imagine the gap between the episodes, wait until you hear about the gap between the books.

Thoko

Let's be honest, its not a "gap between the books". Its the author who is never going to finish another book

Thoko

I'm really looking forward to Cassie's opinions about the various characters evolving throughout the series.

Clarence Newman

True, but I think that's probably the worst of it now. I'm not sure there's another scene that *more* blatantly covers the "excessive sex and nudity" concern (similar, sure, but they won't be a shock). Violence and gore? I can neither confirm nor deny. Fortunately, as most of us know, the good stuff in GoT far outweighs the snippets that fall under Cassie's list of icky tropes. It's all part of the journey and she's hook, line and sinkered.

Clarence Newman

Wow, that is NOTHING like the tone of Evil Dead 1! If Monty Python made a movie today, that would be it. You should show Cassie that trailer. She'd watch it and think "Hmm, that doesn't look too bad. Let's watch the first one.

Clarence Newman

Note to self: Do not be drinking tea when Cassie gets outraged. "That little gross mofo" physically hurt my sinuses.

Somehiguy

Renly was absolutely right in suggesting that they should had struck first, taking Joffrey into custody, then he got out while the getting out was good. should've made Renly king.

Clarence Newman

Hopefully not, Thoko. When Stephen King was writing the Dark Tower series, there were gaps of 5 years, 4 years, 6 years and another 6. It drove me up the wall, but he did get them finished in the end.

KTVindicare

It was 6 years between Feast of Crows and Dance with Dragons, it's been 14 years since Dance with Dragons came out lol.

Just Plain Bob

Yeah, the second one is horror/comedy (lots of Three Stooges bits) and by the third one it was pretty much just comedy. Some of my favorite Ash-isms: *Groovy! *Give me some sugar, baby! *THIS…is my boomstick! *First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow. *Shop smart! Shop S-Mart! *Good. Bad. I’m the one with the gun. *Yo! She-bitch! Let’s go. *Hail to the king, baby. I leave you with this, one of three alternate endings they came up with: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Or3okI_mad8&t=5s&pp=0gcJCbIJAYcqIYzv

Gray

Bit spoilery there Jarrod with the implication

Thoko

Stephen King finished those books before he turned 60 though. George is already close to the age of life expectancy

Clarence Newman

Just a heads up, Jarrod. Cassie and the mods are trying very hard not to have any spoilers dropped that might affect the unfettered enjoyment of her journey. I know what you just wrote isn't a scene-spoiler (those are the worst ones), but there's also been a lot of discussion about "expectation" spoilers, which send Cassie in to an episode (or a season) already braced for something specific. All very ambiguous, mate, and I know you're speaking from excitement (and anticipation) that we all share, but we're asking folks to delete posts that come under that category. Comments about the episodes she's just watched are absolutely fine, so fire away, but if you can keep away from the expectation spoilers, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, you will be forced to take the black. 😁

MikeLL

At least the widow of Robert Jordan made sure some other writer finished The Wheel of Time after Jordan passed away. I've heard that would not be the case with Martin should catastrophe strike. I've put off rereading GOT because I don't believe it will ever be finished.

Clarence Newman

Hmmm. 14 years is a bloody long time. I fear your fears are not unfounded.

Clarence Newman

Just tried to watch. 1.5m views, but "Video unavailable in my country" AND the comments are turned off. Now I'm well intrigued.

Dave

Hi Jarrod = please remove your comment setting expectations for future episodes - please allow the series to unfold for Cassie as it did for viewers when it first ran. Thanks.

MacGuffinStuff

Love these reactions, but so far It's been tough for me to comment because every time I watch these episodes I'm so excited for the next, I'm just trying not to spoil anything right now. One thing I have to say is how much it's George Martin's attention to detail and knowledge of history. I love his quote about how he's a history nerd, and he basically took history and turned it up to 11.

Paul Davey

Sorry if this has already been said but the reason Alliser Thorne dislikes Jon Snow is because he fought on the side of the mad king during Robert's Rebellion. Ned had him sent to the wall after defeat.

Clay F

If you recall, it was indicated in earlier episodes that Jaime is a good swordsman. You may agree that Jaime looked effective fighting against Ned with the sword.

Clay F

The soft porn (2 females in brothel w/Littlefinger present) early in E6 reminded me 1st time I watched GoT, I thought GoT sex/nudity gratuitous. I thought to myself then if I wanted to watch soft porn, I would put on soft porn. But realized 2nd time watched GoT that the sex/nudity not all gratuitous. For example, the E6 soft porn is part of Littlefinger character development w/scene being extra graphic more effective in casting Littlefinger in a certain light. Plus, sex/nudity with prostitutes generally in GoT contributes to realism and power dynamics (e.g., in societal structure). Sometimes sex/nudity can go beyond mere titillation to serve narrative and thematic purposes + overall immersive experience in the fictional world.

KTVindicare

Jaime Lannister is a lot of bad things, but one thing that is never in doubt is that he is one of the most skilled swordsmen in the entire Seven Kingdoms.

Laura Thornley

Its weird how GoT got less overly sexual over time - but House of the Dragon came out absolutely swinging asking the question "so how much can we get away with?" Though at least in HotD its a bit more equal. Which is... nice?

Clay F

I didn't realize that about HotD. HotD on my watchlist. I think can be more responsible to have mix of female gaze and male gaze instead of all male gaze. But I'm not accustomed to the female gaze (I found that out when I watched the Outlander series). Instead, I am used to the 99.999% male gaze that we've been exposed to our entire lives. I thought interesting that more than half of the Outlander viewing audience is female.

Clarence Newman

Thanks Paul. I'd forgotten that and was re-wondering.

Mojo One Thousand

Oh sweet mercy, what have we done to Cassie with this channel 🤣. "Stop screwing" - we're getting closer to actual swearing. "She's faking" - it was for narrative purposes, but that wasn't known at the time the opinion was given. "Is that the first full peen?" - it wasn't, "Theon Greyjoy" had his out in an earlier episode with the same prostitute that "Littlefinger" was extolling his wisdom upon. "Gross mofo" - again getting closer to an actual swear. I think this show may bring Cassie to actual profanity.

VOCFM

jAIME IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST SWORDSMAN IN THE 7 KINGDOMS, YES EDIT: CAPS LOCK LOL

Clarence Newman

I know it's hard to keep up with all the titles, Cassie, so I'll lay them out for you here. Whoever sits on the throne is King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. Make a note.

Kristin

A more PG version of GoT would've been just fine. They did it for ratings.

Baldemort

Cassie you may be confused about some things but the show does that on purpose. All may be revealed in due time. Of course if you get confused about what has been said about a character or location before and forgot, we are here to help. As some have mentioned, Jamie is one of the best swordsman alive. Think of this show like Lord of the rings but everything is morally Grey combined with the realistic mid evil depiction that tells a very attentive story. Been loving your reaction to season 1 so far and I cant wait for the last 2 episodes!

Art of Free Speech

And though most people ignore it, Lord Baelish DID give Ned the advice to wait, eventually get rid of Joffrey and install Renly. People extol Ned like crazy, but he really didn't show the best judgment in these cases.

Mike Dunn

Years of waiting between season. The waiting after season 5 and 6. Brutal.

Joe J

HoTD being made now is very woke...like all of show-business.

Vak

It's great to revisit this show, with Cassie on the other side of the room as it were, delivering so many fantastic reactions. "THIS IS NOT! GOING! WELL!" But once per installment, she's making me literally choke on my beverage. This time it was "Oh my gosh, that little gross mofo!" aimed at Littlefinger. Is...is that the closest that Cassie has come to actually swearing in one of these? She's definitely getting into it - I don't think she even used "mofo" reacting to "Die Hard." (Where considering one particular repeated line, it would have made perfect sense.) Jamie is very much one of the best swordsmen in the seven kingdoms - it's not an empty reputation. That's one reason why Tyrion tried to name him as his champion in the trial by combat back at the Eyrie; against almost anyone, under any conditions, he'd win. In their primes, both Barristan Selmy and Ned Stark were renowned as well, to the point of being almost (but not quite) legendary. They're separated from a few others we've met at this point, who are "damned good" but simply not in that top-tier league - Loras Tyrell, Jorah Mormont, possibly even Bronn. Likewise, Robert Baratheon in his prime - and for that matter, the Hound and the Mountain at this point - aren't great so much as overpowering fighters because of their sheer size and strength. Hell, Robert's signature weapon was a big-a** hammer rather than a sword. Compared to everyone listed above, Robb and Jon, who've been trained by Ned basically since they could stand, are still just "competent." John might be able to wipe the floor with Night's Watch recruits without breaking a sweat, but Jamie Lannister could still carve him up like a turkey at this point.

Clarence Newman

That scene is pretty gratuitous, although its main intention seems to be to show how Littlefinger instructs his employees to be better whores. At no point does he show even the slightest hint of being titillated or distracted by what is going on in front of him. It's just business. Far more notable in that scene is the way Littlefinger - an incredibly clever, devious and guarded man - blabs to two of his whores (both of whom interact on a daily basis with hundreds of men who could cause him trouble) about who he is and why he operates the way he does. He basically admits to them that he routinely manipulates the strong warriors who run the kingdom in order to get what he wants. Pretty careless if you ask me.

Joe J

Julien - don't call others a-hole and such, that type of thing is not allowed here. Please edit or remove your comment.

Joe J

Clarence - nudity and sex never bothers me. The violence and gore everyone seems to accept much more easily in movies and shows.

ArtVandalHey!

Luckily it all paid off in the end with the best final season of all time :) :) :)

King_Panarisi

Reminder: Skipping a Game of Thrones intro is a crime punishable by death.

2-Can

Dave, not disagreeing with you, but I'm not understanding why the same comment wasn't directed to Brian.

Tara ✨💫

Cassie, I’ll say this again in case you didn’t see my last post. I suggest you watch the bonus features for S1 if you know someone with the DVD. There is a lot of world building and history about the rebellion and other wars etc. that the characters talk about

Clay F

Clarence, that did seem careless. Good point. Kristin — while I agree sex/nudity for ratings, would have lost much with a PG version = less realistic and weaker show. Think about how different to the audience the feel of the Littlefinger character with a PG version of that scene. The soft porn of that scene added to the show beyond mere ratings. Joe — I like woke shows. They do good in size of the audience. I am glad Hollywood is woke and progressive, and not all knuckle-dragger.

Cole Jennett

@2-Can It could have been as well, but it wasn’t nearly as blatant as implying someone would still be around for Season 5. Unfortunately, we will see a bunch much the same as Brian’s but because we can’t delete comments ourselves, we have to notify Ben or Cassie to do it, and they don’t have time for them all. Update, both were reported, but with Jarrod’s being the more egregious. Julien’s name calling was also mentioned.

Foggy

that’s a real stag that tywin was dressing… what an introduction!

Eric

You may recognize Pycelle (The old, gross man harping on about Ned's Treason) as the bad guy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He's the one who drinks from the wrong cup. "He chose.... Poorly"

Cole Jennett

I thought the first season of HOTD was as good as the best season of GoT.

Kawaii Leonard

I'm going to have to disagree. There are more natural ways to reveal Littlefinger's motivations, like thru dialogue with Cat or Varys. I find it hard to believe Littlefinger would reveal all of this to 2 new flesh vendors he just met.

Kawaii Leonard

Kinda like how Tywin's name is often mentioned in the first 6 episodes before we meet him, we haven't met the Baratheon middle brother, Stannis, yet. He is currently at the island of Dragonstone, the ancestral castle home of house Targaryens, which Ned mentioned when he sent a message to him in ep 7.

Above Average Dave

For GOT Fans who are looking for another similar series but more grounded in history, I highly recommend THE LAST KINGDOM. Fun added bonus, the main character Utred (Alexander Dreymond) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) could pass for brothers, if not twins. The plot is intricate and evolves season to season and the show ends very satisfyingly with a finale "movie event" titled "SEVEN KINGS MUST DIE."

My_Cousin_Mose

The scene with Littlefinger in the brothel with the 2 whores is pure gratuity. It serves no point and adds nothing to the monologue Littlefinger gives. Luckily though it is the most obnoxious scene in the entire show.

My_Cousin_Mose

Poor Jack Gleeson. He really doesn't look inbred at all lol.

My_Cousin_Mose

I always skip it. Its so freaking long.

Ted Whalen

Clarence - I think a better rule is simply don’t drink tea, according to Ted Lasso tea is garbage water.

Clarence Newman

She seems fine with the intro on the first episode she watches, but when she immediately goes on to the second one, the intro is too long because she wants to get right back into it.

Clarence Newman

I am English, Ted. If I fail to drink four cups a day, I will expire. It's like that button thingy in Lost.

Above Average Dave

Only people of knowledge, class and distinction love THE LAST KINGDOM. Luckily, one of those types let me in under the velvet rope. 🤣

Clay F

I completely disagree. (1) The Littlefinger brothel scene w/the 2 whores is not purely gratuitous but instead is part of the Littlefinger character development. The Littlefinger monologue alone w/o the accompanying graphic depiction of the 2 whores would be less intense in the audience sentiment toward the Littlefinger character. You are blind if you don't recognize that. (2) While the scene may be the most graphic soft porn scene, there are definitely more objectionable scenes with sex (e.g., sexual violence) in the series.

Michael West

Yeah, by all accounts I’ve read, he’s one of the nicest people, which is a testament to his acting.

Clay F

Brett: "Perhaps without the gut punch that sex scene delivers his betrayal of Ned might not have landed." That's exactly what I thought. The somewhat graphic soft porn scene w/Littlefinger present and telling his history created a feel about Littlefinger that his words alone wouldn't have and that parlayed better into the Ned betrayal scene. The writers did great in that aspect.

Clay F

The Last Kingdom is awesome.

Clay F

The writers did great with that scene. The soft porn accompanying Littlfinger was integral in casting Littlefinger in a certain light. Would have been much different (less effective, less intense) in the Littlefinger character development w/o the accompanying graphic soft porn element. Added to the show. Not gratuitous.

My_Cousin_Mose

Book 1 was released in 1996, book 2 in 1998, book 3 in 2000 and then the timeline gets a little tricky. In 2005 book 4 came out and in 2011 book 5 came out. Book 4 and 5 were originally one book but it got too big so it was split. But a lot of book 5's material was written before 2005. Its now been 20 years since he has written a full novel for the main series. And when the show blew up he became a celebrity. He has since dedicated far more time to writing for the tv shows than he has to finishing the books. He also has other book series he is working on. I really do not think he will finish the series. I'm not sure he even wants to.

TechPriest

It's good for a little bit, but man does it just repeat the exact same arcs over and over without actually meaningfully changing the world. It got really tiresome.

Bill Maurer

After reading the first three books, the first book was very PG-13. I believe the producers used the age old additive of "sex sells" to get some (mainly men and teenage boys) hooked on the show.

Scott Macaulay

You commented about not being able to imagine waiting a week between episodes etc. Meanwhile you’re putting me through that a second time with your reactions!! 🤣. At least we get two at a time. 😊

Scott Macaulay

I noticed that watching this time around. I’m like ‘Listen to Renly!’

2-Can

The book series is also enjoyable, it is of the ‘historical fiction’ genre and provides a lot of true history as a backdrop.

John Mellor

Cassie, Ser Alliser Thorne hates John Snow because he fought against Ned Stark in the war to overthrow The Mad King Targaryen. It's not a spoiler as it's not really expanded in exposition in the TV series, it's from the books.

Clay F

Bill -- I am sure that's true. But that is not inconsistent with the show writers using sex in an effective and non-gratuitous way to shape their adaptation of the fictional world.

Freja Corbinne

Pycelle: "Treason... is treason!" You: "Can you die please?" You're already starting to get mean haha

Scott Macaulay

They do make sense though. He made the honorable choices consistent with his character. Unfortunately King's Landing isn't an honorable place.

Connor P

that sexposition scene at the start really took a lot out of Cassie lol Man, she frowny as heck today - hope everything is good

Canadianant

I'm loving this rewatch with you. These are some dark times for the Starks . You are handling the challenging material very well and in spite of it you are hooked. Can't wait for these every week.

Astraeos

I tried so hard to like that show, but by Season 3 or 4 it just felt like they were literally telling the same story every single season.

Astraeos

That's actually General Veers, thank you very much.

Clay F

Highly anticipating these reactions every week.

Dk

It's (Cat)elyn Stark. Pronounced like the animal.

MannyDC

When Cassie says “Also stop screwing your sister” had me rolling 🤣😂🤣😂

Kawaii Leonard

Episodes 5-10 of season 1 is one of the 2 great runs of 5 episodes in this series.

John Neiberger

Khal Drogo's speech by the fire is the best thing Jason Momoa has ever done.

John Neiberger

What's funny is that that sexposition has some pretty important information in it.

My_Cousin_Mose

2 whores having ridiculous pretend sex while littlefinger directs them does nothing to the scene except draw in shallow viewers.

Brent Petty

Jamie is one of the best, and so is Barristan Selmy, the older member of the Kingsguard that they dismissed in Episode 8. When he said he could cut through the other Kingsguards as easily as cutting a cake, he was not exaggerating.

My_Cousin_Mose

There is no set schedule for PiB ever I think.

Astraeos

All these years later and I'm still absolutely livid seeing the end of episode 7. Seen it who knows how many times by now, and every single time it's the same feeling lol.

Brian's Dog

Bobby B! We'll miss ya bud...

Clay F

Makes for more impactful scene. Littlefinger monologue alone would not really stick. There are shallow viewers who can't appreciate that. The nipple sucking helps to drive home the character and his position, and his weird ego in telling his history to two employees having fairly graphic simulated sex. Later, when Cassie says she doesn't trust him -- that comment less likely without the brothel scene as depicted. Then he puts knife to Ned's neck, audience looks at Littlefinger's face -- and less surprised after witnessing that brothel scene. The footing of the knife to Ned's neck would not have fit the character as well if the brothel scene had only been Liittlefinger monologue w/o weirdness of the soft porn.

Clay F

I am no expert on Jason Momoa (e.g., have not seen Aquaman), but that is what I was thinking.

LukeG84

I think it's safe to say Cassie wasn't prepared for the male nudity in episode 7. Her reaction was hilarious. Ok I confess, I'm officially hooked. I need to know what happens next. Hopefully Cassie doesn't keep us waiting too long for the next two episodes. I'm expecting fireworks for the season finale!

Dk

Jaime is not just hype. He's probably the best swordsman in the seven kingdoms. Only one that might be better is Barristan Selmy. The kingsguard that just got fired by Cersei and Joffrey.

Roscoe Anderson

Same. It’s like redoing it all over again. This is my fifth or sixth rewatch and I refuse to go to the next episode until she posts

My_Cousin_Mose

"The nipple sucking helps to drive home the character and his position, and his weird ego in telling his history to two employees having fairly graphic simulated sex." Is that a serious sentence lol? Its just porn. In no movie or tv show was nipple sucking ever necessary to get a point across except for maybe in "Busty Bimbos 5".

My_Cousin_Mose

Hmmmmm I wonder what the other set of episodes is....do tell when it happens!

My_Cousin_Mose

Does that include the history and lore videos voiced by the actors? Or was that a youtube thing?

Cole Jennett

You can expect 2 every week for the foreseeable future. Possibly with a break in October, but maybe not even then.

Cole Jennett

Yeah, it’s odd to say no spoilers and then post spoilers. Please remove the last paragraph.

Rod Reavern

Try reading the whole thing instead of skimming it and being a Karen!

AdrianF

It's a low bar. (In seriousness, he's fine in Aquaman, not seen the new Apple (or is it HBO?) thing).

Rod Reavern

I forgot that the infamous Little Finger & Roz sexposition scene was in the same episode as the King’s court massacre. Little Finger’s betrayal shouldn’t have been so shocking, because he revealed to the audience that he had a grudge against Ned and he was plotting to F him over. I think Robert’s mortal wounding came as such a rug-pull, it created a structural partition in the plot, that makes it seem like a different episode. The political maneuvering and scheming are so fast-paced, plus the attempted assassination on Daenerys and Drogo’s war decree, they overshadow Little Finger’s monologue.

Brent Petty

I read the whole thing, and the last comment is undoubtably a spoiler.

Brent Petty

Army of Darkness is HILARIOUS.

Brent Petty

The animal Tywin Lannister is skinning at the start of Episode 7 is a stag, which is also the sigil (symbol) of House Baratheon. Great scene. Charles Dance was fantastic as Tywin.

Clay F

Hopefully, no break in October. Personally, I think a break in October would be a mistake, but that's above my pay grade.

Clay F

"next part" = expectation spoiler. Cassie specifically requested no epectation spoilers in the E1 reaction intro.

Clay F

Seemed effective to wait till E7 to introduce the father Tywin Lannister. “The lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.” “The future of our family will be determined in these next few months. We could establish a dynasty that will last a thousand years...or we could collapse into nothing, as the Targaryens did. I need you [Jaime] to become the man you were always meant to be. Not next year, not tomorrow, now.”

Patrick Flanagan

She should add a $100 tier to her Patreon where once a month she reads out curse words chosen by poll.

Patrick Flanagan

I don't let Ned off the hook for that. He knew, or should have known, who he was up against but insisted against all evidence that Cersei and everyone else were motivated by the same things as he himself was, and his refusal to play the game because he didn't want to dirty his hands led to dozens of Stark guards being murdered and his children being put in extreme danger. He reminds me a lot of Qui-Gon Jinn, another character people love who actually got a lot of people killed because of his bad judgment.

Rod Reavern

I previously explained how the intro title changes depending on the locations featured in the episode, but I realized in episode 7 that it showed The Eyrie despite that neither Tyrion nor Catelyn appeared in that episode. It appears that a minimum of 4 locations are required for the title music, but the inclusion of the Eyrie was unnecessary because the famous scene of Tywin Lannister dressing the buck took place in the Westerlands, so they should’ve created a new location animation for that. I suppose because they didn’t explicitly say where the Lannister Army camp was located, they could get away with using the Eyrie location animation. But it doesn’t make sense that the Lannister would encamp either in the Vale or the Riverlands without a formal declaration of war. But it also doesn’t make sense that Tyrion walked from the Vale, across the Riverlands, to the Westerlands, where the Lannister camp was supposedly located, all in the span of one episode. I suppose it’s possible that in episode 8, Tywin had moved his army east. But according to the map in the Stark’s camp, both Lannister armies were in the Riverlands in episode 8, so there should’ve been a new title location for there. I suppose they just cheaped out in Season 1. 😉 (BTW if I misspelled any character or place names, it’s because autocorrect hates GoT!)

Clarence Newman

Wait till she watches the Spartacus series....

Clarence Newman

A break in October would cause a riot. Personally, I think she might watch (be watching?) extra episodes of GoT in the lead-up to October, so she can keep churning them out, while keeping the 3 normal slots free for films. Just one extra per session would do it and it's not as if she'd find it a chore.

Clarence Newman

I have to say, the look Drogo gives the would-be-poisoner when he walks in is absolutely chilling. The most menacing "I'll deal with you later" look in cinema history.

Clay F

"In no movie or tv show was nipple sucking ever necessary to get a point across " You reveal your unshakeable bias. What about nipple sucking beneficial or effective (not necessary) getting a point across in a serious TV/movie? I doubt your limited view would even accept that. Can showing the female nipple (without any sucking) be effective in getting a point across in any serious TV/movie? Or is the female nipple per se (by definition) never effective or beneficial for geting a point across in a serious TV/movie? Any depiction of sex/nudity meaningful in a serious TV/movie? Any depiction of sex/nudity in a TV/movie beyond mere titillation (not gratuitous)?

Clay F

His expressive monologue in that scene is excellent. I don't know much about Jason Momoa but that is good acting.

Christian Becker

Ah, GoT fits perfectly in the spooky, but also heartwrenchingly gruesome October.

James M

"Melting pot. Ooooooo!" Haha okay that's pretty funny actually.

James M

Do share more thoughts over the recap. We can't see it and we aren't all watching it.

Tara ✨💫

Yes, the history and lore are the bonus features. I had never seen it, but another reactor watched those and I learned a lot about the world that I didn’t know and had a better understanding for example of the old gods and the new. Learned about Robert’s rebellion, the battle at the Trident that is always referred to etc.

Tara ✨💫

That’s right! Robert’s choice of weapon was a hammer. That makes total sense to me now.

Gray

Subtitles must have covered Theon's wanger a few episodes back as she had no reaction then haha

Clarence Newman

That wouldn't work, Patrick. It would be like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar. She'd try to say the famous Die Hard line and it would come out "Yippe-ki-yay motherffffffffffffuuuuuzzzbunnysnugglefetch." She wasn't drug up the way we wuz.

Mad World

moooore moooooore

Above Average Dave

Well, it does almost directly follow English history of the period, which gets repetitive with all the assassinations, usurpations and the like. What this and GOT exposes is that "Nobles" and "Royalty" are often just second generation warlords, or first gen claiming title. Everyone else in Europe (and Asia and Africa, for that matter) was dirt poor, and it went on that way more or less until the 18th Century.

James M

So tough watching this first season. All of Ned Stark's choices make sense in a storybook way. Then you see how this is no storybook. People lie and cheat and kill for what they want. Good and honorable actions cannot guarantee success. If pushing a little boy out the window to die wasn't enough, episode 7 drew the line very clearly: this is not going to be a good vs evil story where simply being a good person means you win.

Didn’t we see Catelyn talking to her sister in The Eyrie for one short scene in episode 7?

Omar

Anyone else mention yet that Tywin Lannister is played by Charles Dance, who was the red headed, eyeball switching villain in Last Action Hero.

Omar

Yep

JohnnyUtah

Probably not but I think the last two were midday Thursday so I half expected 😅

TheSingulatarian

Great show. May be above her pay grade, however.

Obie Brown

Never skip the intro, time to sing the theme and see if the map updated to show new locations! haha

Obie Brown

They are all also on Youtube, a great watch she can do on her own between seasons, and they have no spoilers.

Obie Brown

Two more eps for the end of season 1 and who wants to bet Cassie wants to jump straight into season 2? Haha

Tara ✨💫

Yes, but if Cassie does any search or views a GOT video on YouTube, she will likely be offered another GOT video to watch with spoilers and then they would start showing up in her feed.

Steve Smith

I've seen these episodes a million times already, and I want to jump straight into season 2, LOL>

A friend once referred to Veers as "the only Imperial officer that did his job right the first time and lived (as far as we know)." He wasn't wrong. Even Piett was on borrowed time.

a fastforward button would be nice

One trope of medieval/fantasy fiction that Martin was clearly deconstructing a bit was that great fighters always seem to make great warriors and great kings, from King Arthur to Aragorn. In the GoT world, though, they're very much different things. In GoT, someone can be a renowned swordsman, but still be overcome on the battlefield because that setting never aligns neatly into individual one-on-one fights; someone else can just use brute force on the battlefield to be great at war as it's always messy, but complete crap as an actual king. During Robert's Rebellion, Ned was in his prime and a great duelist, sure. But on the field of battle, things get messier. Robert had zero finesse, but on the battlefield he'd be caving in breastplates left and right while swinging a massive hammer that few others could wield; not a great duelist, but an intimidating warrior. And one that inspired troops and commoners alike - it was Ned's father and brother that the mad king killed, and his sister that was abducted, yet it was Robert's Rebellion. Cersei even describes young Robert once as cutting an impressive figure before food, drink and boredom turned him into a shadow of his former self. But...being a popular general didn't do a damned thing to make him a good king. In fairness, Ned would have made a lousy one as well, just in a different way, because he's too fundamentally moral and trusting.

Don't wish it away, fellas. We've still got 9 and 10 to savour yet.

I have found it interesting to compare Cassie's reactions to other GoT reactors I've enjoyed. Diegesis (two ladies) have quite entertaining reactions, and they are wrapping up the show in a week or so.

Maisie

Omg I never thought I'd laugh so hard watching Cassie's reactions but some of the names she calls people have me on the floor.

Jay

I was also a latecomer to GOT, binged series 1-6 during a hospital stay just before S7 came out. I've been good so far but no way I'm waiting a week for Baelor, definitely watching that episode twice this week:)

Arry Pottah

These GoT reactions are my favorite thing to watch all week!

Rick Williams

Good episodes. Good reactions Cassie. You have a long road ahead of you. Cassie, you missed the Hobbit Pippin. He was in the last scene in the throne room.

And to my son, the stallion who will mount the world, I will also pledge a gift. I will give him the iron chair… … that his mother’s father sat upon. I will give him Seven Kingdoms. I, Drogo, will do this. I will take my Khalasar west to where the world ends… … and ride wooden horses across the black salt water… … as no Khal has done before. I will kill the men in iron suits… … and tear down their stone houses. I will rape their women… … take their children as slaves… … and bring their broken gods back to Vaes Dothrak. This, I vow… … I, Drogo, son of Bharbo. I swear before the Mother of Mountains… … as the stars look down in witness. As the stars look down in witness.

The Ivan Drago quote ALMOST got my monitor covered in my coffee!!! Then I had to pause EVERYTHING so I could pee I was laughing so hard!!!

Gary

Jamie is supposed to be one of the best swordsman in westeros, the only one who could realistically beat him would be barristan selmy

Michaela Malone-Hansen

I'm new to the group & I'm struggling with the format. Why can I not watch or hear the video footage here, as I do on You tube? Am I missing something?

Clay F

If you noticed, when you joined her Patreon, it said for full reactions: ***You will need your own copy of the Movie/Show to watch a long.*** Thus, you need your own stream of the episode to play along with her blurred stream of the episode. Your stream of the episode can be with whatever service (e.g., MAX) you use or you could have physical media. You sync (visually) your stream of the movie with her blurred stream of the episode. Her blurred stream is not initially blurred to give a few seconds for you to visually sync. Even when blurred thereafter, you can generally see enough detail in her blurred stream to sync. As for doing the two streams of the episode, (1) your stream and (2) her reaction blurred stream, examples include: --you can do (1) your stream with your service on your TV, and (2) her reaction (w/the blurred video) on a PC, laptop, tablet, or phone: or --you can do (1) and (2) on the same PC or laptop and display on dual monitors or same monitor (e.g., side-by-side or picture-in-picture); or --you can do (1) and (2) on two separate computing devices. Whatever configuration you come up with. It's easy. You get used to it. It's illegal (not fair use) for a reactor to show the entire episode.

Chris Thom

Think you have to have HBO Max to watch these. Or your own DVDs.

Clarence Newman

I use DVDs, Michaela. I mostly watch the YT edits (on films I don't particularly love), but always use my DVDs on full reactions for the ones I do. I imagine people use a variety of set-ups, but I have two computer screens in my office. I play the DVD on one screen and the reaction on the other. Once you figure out how to sync (and we'll help you with that if you need it), you can just sit back and enjoy.

Michaela Malone-Hansen

Unfortunately for me, it is all too time consuming & "messy" to set up, I will continue with the YT reactions instead. However, I do follow various other reactors on Patreon and watch full series, in the same format as is on YT. So no, I did not notice the ***You will need your own copy of the Movie/Show to watch a long.*** initially, until I was ready with my cuppa and set up at my easel, ready to follow along from start to finish, with my laptop on one side and my ipad on the other side.

Clay F

You can watch her reaction on your iPad and stream Game of Thrones from max.com on your laptop. You can watch her reaction on your laptpop and stream Game of Thrones from max.com on your iPad.

Michaela Malone-Hansen

I appreciate your trying to help, however, to stream GOT, I first need to either own the DVD'S or have access to the series, which I don't, not in my studio. Also, unlike some, I have never watched GOT. After watching a few YT reactions to the show & enjoying the show, I chose to sign up to Patreon, to watch the show fully and enjoy the commentary, whilst working from Ipad. Obviously the format here, does not allow for that, working whilst watching two separate laptops or devices is simply not doable. However, I accept it was my mistake, I should have read through the description before signing up, lesson learned.

You look so beautiful!! Love your hair

You can also purchase entire series for $79.99 on Vudu.com (now Fandango at Home), if you think it's not worth it to pay one year subscription to Max (no ads). To many, the GoT series is worth owning a license and add to collection. These days, it's better digital license than hard copy IMO. I had hundreds of Blu-ray movies but now prefer just buying digital (4K), or 4K Blu-ray with Digital if I am willing to pay $$$, as I can watch them any device and anywhere.

While an immensely talented swordsman Jamie’s fighting prowess was honed primarily in tournaments and duels. He didn’t have quite the brutal battlefield seasoning that Barristan, Ned, and Robert did, and that is a big difference-maker. Ned’s fight with Jamie really could have gone either way until the Lannister soldier took Ned out from behind.

OlympicLeprechaun

Together both he and Emilia really sold it. Wonderful chemistry.You never had any doubt that these two were really in love.

Mike

Why are there ads on the video?? It makes it so hard to keep it synced

Bin ich leider selber Schuld. Schade
