Haven’t seen this yet, but I wanted to say “FIRST!” 🙂🙂

Harrison

Just got home from work early today. PERFECT timing

Looking back on this series, I would have to say Thoros of Myr is my favorite character and a few of his scenes are some of my favorites from the whole show. Such a fascinating character and the actor kills it. Winter is coming.... No really...cold this morning here

Gray

An early drop!!

Kawaii Leonard

Ah Jaime's bath scene. Always one of my favourites of the series. The author, Martin, often mentions he likes to take away a character's most prized possession, I.e. "I am my sword hand". , and sees how a character reacts to it.

Blake Evans

That’s one of my favorite things about this show. I have preconceived notions of a character and they get turned upside down. No one is completely good or completely bad. Except maybe Joffrey.

Bill Maurer

Great little Thursday surprise .....

Freja Corbinne

I can't get over how gracefully Beric fights at the beginning of episode 5. The Hound wins through sheer brute force, but Beric holds out for quite a long time by moving fluidly and conserving his energy. One of the best choreographed fights in the entire show. I think the best ones up to this point were Bronn vs. Ser Vardis in season 1, and Brienne vs. Jaime earlier this season. There are so many really good ones though. And there are many still ahead.

Win

Thank God it’s Thursday

Clay F

Only refer to present/past episodes, never future episodes.

My_Cousin_Mose

It took me a few watches to give a crap one way or another but now I quite like Thoros of Myr.

Dave

Hi Kevin, can you please either remove your comment or edit it to something that does not set expectations or give any hints at episodes to come. Cassie does frequent the comments section now, and we want to keep future episodes as unknown as possible for her. Thanks.

Michael West

Always a great day for Game of Thrones. The scene with Roz was brutal. Castle Black is on the wall, Casterly Rock is the Lannister homeland. The bath scene with Jamie is some of the best writing and acting in the show. It puts a different perspective on Jamie’s life. These characters are so amazing. So many shades of gray.

David Collins

Fun watching Cassie work out the intro music leading up to the reaction. I always skip intro music when I'm watching shows. Except GoT. The intro is a ritual that MUST be observed, for so many reasons. By season 8, she'll be humming it in her sleep.

Ian Tonge

Oh hey, one of those Frey lads is from Slow Horses.

Captain Hammer

Cassie thinking about bathing first. That's also what I always think about when watching TV and movies as well. Been marching for weeks. Ick

Jarrod Clemens

two more weeks. looks like I have to stay subscribed for another month. Hope she can make it through season 4 before my time is up. I'm out at season 5. As far as i'm concerned season 5 never happened and this 10/10 show ended on a cliffhanger...

Cole Jennett

Please don’t make any comments about anything pertaining to events that she has yet to watch. Let the reactions be genuine without giving her expectations of what’s to come.

D. T. Nelson

Yep... so much grey area when it comes to the characters in this show. You hate Jamie, then he gives that speech in the bath and you start to feel for him. You hate Theon for betraying Robb and then he is tortured in front of you and you suddenly feel sorry for him. You may also find times you like a character and then they do something that makes you question why you supported them at all. Most characters in the show live in a moral grey area. Except Joffrey. People just hate Joffrey. (Sadly the actor who plays him, who is said to be really sweet, got a lot of hate mail—regular and online—which drove him away from acting).

MGCR

Valar Morghulis = All Men Must Die. Valar Dohaeris = All Men Must Serve.

Daniel John

Episode 6 is such a banger...chaos is a ladder...if you think this has a happy ending you haven't been paying attention...forgot that was this too.

Clay F

Great reaction. Enjoying you reacting to GoT. Cersei does not seem to like Margaery. Cersei labeled Margaery "the little doe-eyed wh*re." Castle Black -- you've seen many times. Castle Black is the main stronghold of the Night's Watch at The Wall. Casterly Rock -- hasn't been shown. Casterly Rock is the home of the Lannisters.

Obie Brown

That tub scene with Jaime is so good and a key turning point for the character, Cassie and most of us hated Jaime SO much in season 1....when this show is cooking it cooks.

LukeG84

Another two great episodes. Can't wait for the next two.

Matt Mabry

so, in real life, jon snow and ygritte are really husband and wife and they have a child. They met and fell in love on the set.

Kyle K

Aerys was the mad king. Aegon was the first Targaryen to go over and conquer Westeros. “Aegon the conqueror” with his two sisters. Almost three hundred years apart.

Ian A

Awesome video. I think Jaime didn't wanna take Milk of the Poppy because he was worried about being killed while unconscious. I think Jorah is just suspicious of Barrister, not so much jealous. Thanks!

Gray

Like others had said already Castle Black is at the wall it has the lift animation during the intro, would be a quite a walk to get down to Kings Landing from there. Glad you decided not to binge it and carry on two at a time.

Astraeos

I know that Cassie is not really reading these comments for this show, but somebody, somehow, needs to feed her the information that Jon Snow and Ygritte are married in real life based upon meeting and acting together in this show. I feel like she would greatly enjoy having this information while she is currently still in progress of watching

Astraeos

To be fair, the Targaryens do make it a bit complicated with their being about 70 different Aegon's throughout Westeros history

Gray

She does know she said about it in the intro to one of episodes at the end of season 2 jokingly saying she was a bit jealous lol

Philip Alan

Funny. I'm sure I miss a ton during the opening sequence. I start all my GOT reactions when the first scene starts. The recap & intro are just too dang long.

2-Can

Barristan would know all about the crime that Ned banished Jorah for as well as that Jorah was being paid by Robert B. to spy on Dany. They are probably just sizing each other up to get a sense of how their own roles will be affected given that they are now working together.

VOCFM

This is KEY Info Cassie should know to help get her head around the Targaryen Family Aegon the Conqueror came 300 years almost exactly from when GOT starts Aegon the Conqueror would be Daenerys Targaryen's ten-times-great-grandfather through the most direct line of descent. The lineage from Aegon I to Daenerys is as follows: Aegon I (the Conqueror) Aenys I (son of Aegon I) Jaehaerys I (son of Aenys I) Baelon (son of Jaehaerys I) Viserys II (son of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen, Baelon's son, which causes generational overlap) Aegon IV (son of Viserys II) Daeron II (son of Aegon IV) Maekar I (son of Daeron II) Aegon V (son of Maekar I) Jaehaerys II (son of Aegon V) Aerys II (the "Mad King," son of Jaehaerys II and father of Daenerys) Daenerys (daughter of Aerys II) Due to the complex and frequent practice of inbreeding (specifically uncle-niece and brother-sister marriages) within the Targaryen line, there can be slightly different counts depending on which specific parental lineage is followed, sometimes making him also her eleven-times-great-grandfather or her great-uncle multiple times over.

VOCFM

HMm i always thought he was being edgy and wanted it to ¬hurt¬ but I suppose this is true google says Jaime refused milk of the poppy during his hand amputation because he feared Qyburn might take advantage of his unconscious state to amputate his entire arm. He also likely wanted to remain conscious to oversee the procedure and knew the substance carried risks of addiction and potentially severe side effects, preferring to endure the pain over potential incapacitation and loss of control. Key Reasons for Refusal: Fear of Qyburn: Jaime did not trust Qyburn and believed he would use the opportunity to cut off more of his arm if he were unconscious. Desire for Control: He wanted to stay awake and keep his wits about him during the painful procedure, as mentioned in the books. Addiction and Side Effects: While not his primary reason, milk of the poppy is a highly addictive opiate, and its effects could be unpredictable. Personal Pride/Endurance: Some characters in Game of Thrones prefer to endure pain rather than numb it, seeing it as a sign of strength. In the books, the narrative from Jaime's perspective makes it clear that his main fear was Qyburn's potential betrayal, rather than addiction or general discomfort.

Clarence Newman

It’s also a matter of opinion, Jarrod. Fair enough on your take, and we’ll miss you after season 4, but I’ve watched Thrones three times, including very recently, and I loved the whole thing. Take into account Cassie’s complete investment in the characters (it’s quite compelling when it happens - see Star Trek) and she will barely notice a plateau, never mind a drop.

Clarence Newman

Yes. Of all the shows I’ve ever watched, Thrones is NOT the one I’d choose to experience in Smell-O-Vision. Sweat and dirt are a given, but Jamie also mentioned being tied to a post for a year covered in his own shizzle. Now maybe that was a joke, but I imagine it would be true of many prisoners in that world.

Deepan Nathan

Hi Cassie. Another thing about Jaime - He did kill the mad king as he asked for Tywin’s head but also (and importantly) he did it to save the entire population of kings landing being blown to shreds with wildfire, which casts further doubt about his dishonour. What’s the importance of a vow against saving millions of people? Loving the reactions! All the best!

Miguel

Barristan is familiar with the Jorah's slaving. But he doesnt know that Jorah was spying for Varys/King Robert. Because Barristan wasnt on the small council, he didnt hear about Jorah's work for Varys.

Vak

I really liked the Jorah/Barristan interplay in that scene, because what's NOT being said is arguably more important to both of them than what is. Jorah coaxes the information out of Selmy that he wasn't on the small council, and therefore wouldn't know about his intelligence gathering on the Targaryn kids for Robert. And he stresses that he's absolutely devoted to Danerys, almost as a defense mechanism as much as an expression of devotion. Selmy, meanwhile, is sizing Jorah up as well. He knows the story of why Jorah was banished, but he knows that's only the official story and it may have a lot of nuances; and he's trying to figure out if Jorah is worth trusting. Will they be competing over a similar role, or can they team up to do it better?

Clay F

The Jaime monologue in the bath seemed to affect you.

John Neiberger

That's one of the best scenes of the series.

James M

Just remember that great things will happen and also terrible things will happen, and possibly more terrible things than great.

Maxi_Rad

I can't believe that we made it through one of the colder feeling episodes without a single "they need some tuques" lmao we got so close with "he needs some earmuffs" haha

Alan Kobb

did you know that KitHarrington (Jon Snow) is married to Rose Leslie (Ygritte) in real life?

Clay F

Yes, she knows.

VOCFM

how do you always know these things

VOCFM

dude shut up

Clay F

Near the beginning of S2:E7 reaction while watching the recap, she said: “I guess they’re married in real life. People told me.” Then, during the S2:E7 music/map intro, she said: “When everyone was telling me in the comments after the last episodes [S2:E5-E6] that Jon Snow and that wildling girl were married in real life, [chuckles] why do I feel bugged and jealous about this? – I’m very happily married [laughs]. I was so mad, I was like so there’s no chance? [laughs] So dumb.” S2:E5-E6 Comments --“The actor who plays Jon Snow and the actress who plays Ygritte are married in real life.” --“Jon Snow and Ygritte are married and with a child in real life. They met and fell in love on the set.” --“You would enjoy knowing Jon and the wildling woman are married in real life.”

A'rora Nightfall

Jaime was my favorite character in GoT. Look at that character arc. Remember how glorious and vain and conceited he was when he showed up at Winterfell at the beginning of the show? From that to being drug through the mud for over a year, losing a hand...and you slowly start to realize that maybe Ned Stark was not the noble man you thought he was...and maybe Jaime was misunderstood. It keeps getting better. Another tip I can offer that is spoiler free is to really pay attention to the music in these episodes. Every family, god, etc has a theme. When you were wondering if the Brothers without Banners serve the same god as Lady Melisandre, if you listen, the "Lord of Light theme" is playing in the background. That is a clue that yes, it is the same god.

Clarence Newman

I remember Esme Bianco, who played Ros, saying that she was really disappointed at the way her character ended. Such a throwaway death, and although that was exactly the point (to show the fact that Joffrey had pretty much gone off the rezzie), it must have been a bummer for the actress.

Clarence Newman

A different character is my favourite for the same reason - colossal story arc. That's the beauty of GoT though. So many great characters.

Mark White

Clay your memory is as sharp as a scalpel! You are our resident information encyclopaedia for PiB.

Mark White

Clarence, on a sort off related subject of GoT, Have you seen “The Parole Officer”? British comedy, very funny. But as well as Steve Coogan, it’s got Two GoT actors in it, Lena Headey and Stephen Dillane. As well as an appearance from Omar Sharif! My Wife loved it and if you are finding you and wifey need a good clean hearted comedy, it’s worth a watch mate.

Clarence Newman

Will put it on my list, Mark. We love us some comedy, and it would be nice to see Lena Headey in a non Bitch-Queen-From-Hell role.

Rick Williams

Good episodes. Great reaction, Cassie. Things are moving along nicely. You are cruising through this series with 26 episodes down and 47 to go.

Geoman

Cassie your saviouring it which I fully appreciate..this has 8 seasons...but...BUT there is also Game of Thrones House of the Dragon 🐉 2 seasons of that with season 3 later in 2026..🫣🫣♥️

Brian McGovern

You know where Castle Black is or what it is. It’s the hiome of the Nights Watch.

James M

The series made space for these great monologues. They employed some very good actors and then gave them the opportunity to act which seems like the normal thing to do, but I grew up with broadcast television and they never really did that. Soap operas came close but the stories were a bunch of recycled vignettes about illness and unfaithful relationships. A show like MASH or All in the Family occasionally stretched this way. It's fantastic to me to see a huge series like this let actors exercise their craft so freely and to support them with strong writing and top costuming and scenery. Everything that enabled that "my name is Jaime" moment is wonderful.

James M

The scene between Jorah and Barristan also helps you see how different they are. The show writing was brilliant this way. It's easy to see them as duplicates of each other, two big knights from Westeros, but their stories mark them as completely different kinds of men. Barristan is reserved and selfless and devoted to his position. Jorah is emotional and selfish but can be utterly devoted to love. His love for Daenerys is what makes him trustworthy.

Cole Jennett

And “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” releases before S3 of HOTD. Martin couldn’t even finish the primary series but his world building is so great that there a bunch more that could and should be greenlit.

Clay F

Tywin: "My stomach remains quite strong.... only thing that might turn it are details of your grandson's nocturnal activities. Do you deny them?" Olenna: "Oh no, not at all. A sword swallower through and through."

Stich

I joined your patreon for marvel and now this. seems worth it to see everything. You really are fun.

Story Archer

Gods, that scene where Melissandre talks about the eyes that Arya will shut forever. It just gives me chills.

Story Archer

you should check out her library of hundreds on YouTube. She's the best - open mind, sincere heart... a genuine treasure to be cherished.

Catherine LW

Oh for the love of God, how many times?

Yeah Right

You only get to see this the first time one time. You've definitely made the right choice. Savor it. Measured by total number of episodes you're closing in on the halfway point already.

Samuel Champ

This is so much fun! It's only the 2nd time I've watched every minute of every episode. And watching it with you is a riot! You have a handle on things way more than I ever did. You're in the meat of the series now and its really great tv. Looking forward to every post. You are the GOAT Cassie, thank you.

Raymond Terry

Ahh yes, the "Chaos is a Ladder' speech and how you can interpret its relevance in a this show and the actual real world.
