Comments

Chris

Uh oh

Florian Zingen

I‘m so hyped. Gonna watch it tomorrow 💪🏽

WestBound

Just no thoughts I see

Brogan

no description says it all really

Erik Locquiao

Finally. Been waiting for this one. I am ready to relive my devastation again.

MGCR

And this, Cassie, is why marrying for love in this universe is a TERRIBLE idea.

Chris C.

Oh boy, here we go.

Claude Edwards

I haven’t watched this yet. But I just want to say I’ve been dreading it all week. “Will Cassie make it through this…?? 😬”

Ancestor of Freedom

I haven't watched he'd this yet. But I'm sorry. You prob didn't need this, this week Cassie. You never forget where you were when you watch this episode. Don't loose faith, the show keeps getting better.

TechJJ

Oh "bloody hell" ... I remembered I was in a state of disbelief and just froze...

AdrianF

No description :/

TM2

Here we go

Deke_HFX

"Not Happening"

VOCFM

Aw no here we go again Stannis would never accept Robb being King of the North and taking one of his 7 kingdoms PS I know its so stupid. GRR MARTIN has issues. It really is not good, I agree.

Connor W

But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, and not a soul to hear... The Lannister's send their regards Cassie.

Mad World

By the old gods and the new you DID IT CASSIE!!!!

JoshGrobansDryMouth

I feel like a bad person for looking forward to this 😭

John Mellor

I've been waiting since ep 1 s1 for this episode. Really nervous about her reaction. Everyone remembers this episode the first time. I think I turned white.

insanevictor

oooohhhh mannnn... Just finished watching it. I forgot just how unforgiving that episode/scene is. Even though i've watched several reactions to this specifc scene online by numerous people (particularly from years ago) Watching it here hit differently, especially as one follows along from the beginning of the season. Not embarrassing at all, Cassie, most of us were right there the first time.

Raymond Terry

A defining moment in TV history.

Caomhan84

This is the moment that I have personally been dreading and why I haven't said a single word at all throughout these GOT reactions. I knew she'd be absolutely shaken to her core by it. Back when this originally aired, I knew several people who hadn't read the books who actually stopped watching the show because of it. They never watched another episode afterwards. I wish I could tell Cassie it gets easier. But I don't know what to say....because anything I DO say might involve future spoilers. So.... sigh.😞

Bryan White

I signed up for Patreon for this episode!

Stan the Man

Yoooooo. Cassie. Are you ok? I’ve seen some reactions to this episode. But this? Man. Even your reactions to Schindlers List didn’t hit this hard. This is what’s known as “The Red Wedding” and it hurts like hell

Stan the Man

“That was so mean”. Yes. Yes it was.

Stan the Man

Haha, right? After watching her reaction, which hit almost as hard as the episode, I feel like a sadist

MikeLL

The infamous "no text" post. This will be memorable!

SEAN ƴü KAY

I heard that an Aubrey person was looking for this reaction...I heard they were upset about it... Thank-you for your content. Ignore the noise. Keep being you. It's an awesome you. A lot of us around here enjoy you and this channel. Thank-you.

Deke_HFX

Did I hear that right? At 55:35?

Stan the Man

I’m not going to lie. It was hard watching that reaction and this is the first time I’ve ever, EVER thought that maybe some people shouldn’t watch this show. Like….it was hard seeing Cassie go thru that. Man. I just….the show is running thru my head and I’m half laughing to myself thinking there’s no way she makes it through all 8 seasons. There’s reactions. There’s reactions. And then there’s this. Call it hyperbole, call it recency bias, but this might be the greatest Rains of Castamere “Red Wedding” reaction I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen ALOT. So that is saying something since this episode pretty much invented reaction videos.

Brian McGovern

This was always going to be a hard watch. It will be the one that will is likely to put an end to her reactions to the show. I know she didnt want spoilers, but yiu feel that she needed to go in to this with an advisory, not to get too attached.

Caomhan84

She can do it. She's just going to have to start disassociating herself from getting attached to characters. Honestly, that was the advice I was going to give her in the comment section of the very first episode (don't get attached to anything or anyone), but I knew people would yell at me about that being spoilers. But now she knows, so she can make that adjustment. I do think we will see a very marked change, however, when season 4 starts.

Lukas

The Sweet Summer Child is no more. Born through pain and anguish is Cassie The Winter Maiden

Lukas

I disagree. That would have been a terrible idea. The show isn't real. We all had to go through it when we watched it for the first time. Come on man, she'll be alright after a bit. This is all part of the Game Of Thrones experience :-)

Lukas

We can only hope that 2 minutes before this was uploaded to Patreon, our dear dear sweet Aubrey, went to bed and fell into a nice relaxing slumber lol

SEAN ƴü KAY

The universe having order is a relaxing thought...

Rick Rodriguez

Oh man. It's finally here. Funny story, few months after rains premiered, I was in a subway station at 3 in the morning heading home. Waiting on the platform, by myself, no one else around. Suddenly, I heard THE Lannister music playing from somewhere on the platform. I couldn't find where it was coming from. I didn't question it. I just left the platform, walked to the stairs out of the subway, and took a cab home.

TM2

It may not be good. But it is great.

Harrison

Saturday morning surprise!

Philip Alan

I LOVED how you left the outro music off after episode 9. What a fantastic touch. What a shocking episode. I'm glad I was never spoiled. I'm still mad.

Zach

aww sweet Cassie.....idk what to say.. without spoiling.. but i hope you dont stop watching... I subbed to your patreon just for this series.. and not cuz of moments like this, but moments of smile and joy, or funny stuff like Tyrion

TheSingulatarian

When an author runs out of ideas of what to do with a character, he does this. You are not even halfway through the series. There are still many other characters, and they will have many adventures before the end.

Tater

One of the most painful reactions I've ever watched. But it was also fantastic. Such raw emotion. Sorry Cassie... we all went through it. You did great. 😀😭

Caomhan84

It was "frick"...her and Carly's standard word.

Michael West

This episode was brutal in every way. It takes a while to process.

John Deardurff

It's a nice day for a... red wedding. It's a nice day for a... cardigan.

J.D. Montgomery

It's time... the episode everyone has waited for 😈

AdrianF

I know it's a very hard episode to watch such is the shock of what happens but this reaction is probably the best I've ever seen. Feel for you!

SEAN ƴü KAY

"This isn't healthy!" "I don't like this show anymore right now" Are also a great lines by you ....I remember a lot of people around had a very tough Monday after that Sunday's episode....

SEAN ƴü KAY

Smart move...if I hear it, I'm heading out, too, no matter where....if only Rob felt the same way....

SEAN ƴü KAY

"Welcome to the party, pal" This ain't a bad place to walk into.....

VOCFM

I too sang this song during lmao

Jay

This is going to destroy her:(

JohnnyUtah

That was my reaction as well, speechless. For years I didn't realize the title of the episode is the story that Cersi told Queen Marjorie about the Castameres. Tywin tried to wipe out the Starks legacy.

Eve Griffin

The processing takes a minute. This is the point we all realized this show is DIFFERENT. 😞 But there is so much wild, madness and amazing moments to come. Promise! The red wedding is technically what sparked “reaction channels”. You’ve got this!

Dazman

Isn't it silent credits on episode 9 anyway?

JohnnyUtah

I quit for 2 years before going back.

JohnnyUtah

This was my fear all along.

Choof

That was BRUTAL, and while seeing her that upset and crying breaks my heart, it does make for a great reaction. I'd never want to see her that way for real life but for a tv show I dont feel as guilty haha

Bryan Erickson

You made it, Cassie. Arguably, the toughest moment is over. More to come.

Dazman

Although I deliberately didn't look and went straight to the reaction, I'm glad there was no comment on it. That would have been like a spoiler for the rest of us!

SEAN ƴü KAY

5th? time you saying the fuck word I think lol...great reaction. I def enjoyed it...

SEAN ƴü KAY

I doubt you are alone on that...

Freja Corbinne

this was set up early in the books. it wasn't GRRM running out of ideas. I haven't read the books but the setup probably starts in A Clash of Kings (book 2) just like it starts in early season 2 in the show.

Meia-noite

I see shows like this as an important part of social education precisely because they do not shy away from showing the ugliness of the world. In many less privileged parts of the planet, people suffer cruel fates that are even worse than what we see in the series. I myself have had the misfortune of witnessing several instances of how horrific human beings can be, and I think it is an important lesson to know this and, above all, to feel it, even if only vicariously, so that we can learn to value what we have and not act with indifference and lack of empathy in the face of evil.

Astraeos

Well, I was highly worried that the show's run might come to an end after the Red Wedding. I'm glad you are still watching Cassie, that was a very, very tough episode. On to Season 4! Also, as much as everybody hates the Lannisters, The Rains of Castamere is really such a good song. "In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws" Also Cassie, you should watch your favorite fluffy, feel good type movie after the evils of the Frey's and Lannister's.

Jay

Seriously, don't be embarrassed. This brought out ugly-crying in most people. I was a latecomer to GOT. I knew about this before I watched, but it was still shocking and extremely upsetting.

Mojo One Thousand

This hurt my heart a bit, this was the most dread I've felt for one of Cassie's reaction ever, and it only got worse the closer the scene came. After Cassie said she would watch GoT and before she started watching, I knew this was going to be tough (as did everybody). I knew Cassie would sympathise with the "Starks". But it was so much bigger than I anticipated prior to the show, because there were so many things that ratcheted her attachment little by little, with "Ned's" death, "Robb's" wedding, and the pregnancy being big ones. As most people were, I was shocked the first time I watched episode 9, but this time I couldn't help but get a little misty as Cassie was so upset. I was thinking all week Cassie may stop watching right here and she certainly threatening it a few times. I couldn't remember how long it took to circle back round to being more explicit about the relationship of"Roose Bolton" and "Ramsey Snow", as it was alluded to in an earlier episode. Cassie is getting an "Arya" still list together. I know Cassie watches "Slow Horses", but I don't know how she feels about all of the characters. Not sure if this will change anything, but the actor who plays "Coe" in "Slow Horses" was the actor who was responsible for killing "Talisa Stark", in quite a brutal manner.

Obie Brown

Welp, there goes "Tender November".....poor Sweet Summer Cassie.

Wendy

I'm so sorry you had to see this because I knew you would react just like we all did. It's heartbreaking.

Night King01

The only problem I have with the ending to episode 9 is Talisa Stark. For one she’s a one dimensional character literally set up to die for shock value. Also she is not in the book and replaces a character not in the show. Also, making her pregnant seemed like the cheapest way of extracting as much emotion from the audience as cheaply as possible. Everything else I’m fine with. You can trace all of Robs mistakes leading up to this moment.

MikeLL

What you say is mostly true, but I credit the showrunners in being smart in the way they crafted the season. They ended the season in episode 10 the way they did, because if they ended it on the events of the end of episode 9, they would have lost a significant number of their audience. Leave it on a high, is what they had to do.

KTVindicare

It also changes Rob's motivations pretty considerably. In the book he just sleeps with a girl in the local castle because he's grieving what he thinks are his younger brothers' deaths. You could even go as far to say that the noble girl took advantage of him in his moment of weakness (there's a fan theory that she's actually a Lannister plant) and he only decides to marry her because he wants to protect her honor and his. In the show, he genuinely falls in love with Talisa knowingly betraying his vow to the Freys. In the book Rob is just repeating his Father's mistakes, putting honor before common sense. In the show he's a hopeless romantic who jeapordizes the lives of himself and all of his men for the sake of his love for one woman. Not necessarily saying one of these is better or worse than the other but it does show a pretty stark difference with the character.

Night King01

I try not to harp on it to much because the shock jockey stuff only gets worse as the show goes and they run out of ways to grab the audiences attention with believable writing.

Night King01

Btw Joffrey during his rant was talking about Robert Baratheon winning the crown. Tywin kept house Lannister neutral until he knew that the rebels would be the victors.

Kyle Aitken

She actually took that worse than I expected.

trainlover 345

If it's any comfort - these last two episodes are extreme even by GoT standards.

KTVindicare

When I first read the chapter on the Red Wedding I was sitting up alone in my room around 3 or 4 in the morning binge reading. I barely remember reading the chapter because I just found myself speed reading like crazy not even fully internalizing what the words on the page were saying. When I finished the chapter I was dumbstruck, I couldnt quite believe what I had just read. I had to go back and reread parts of the chapter and once I realized that I had fact read what I had read I threw the paperback book across my room. I just sat in silence for like 10 minutes before getting up, fetching the book and starting the next chapter. Probably the single most impactful chapter of anything I've ever read.

aarswft

I'm sorry but it was everything I hoped for. I read Storm of Swords 15 years ago and I still remember throwing the book across the room when the Red Wedding happened. Love when books illicit real emotion. Show handled it well. For Stannis's motivation, he believes he's the rightful king of Westeros, he doesn't believe Westeros should be broken up into multiple kingdoms. Robb was a usurper because he removed the North from Stannis' kingdom.

Neill Shaughness

Watching Cassie fall completely in love with the Rob romance only to get to this episode has been like watching a bull being manipulated by a bullfighter's cape

Kristin

Sorry Cassie. I don't think this is a good show for you to watch. This is not ok.

Chris Thom

I don't know a ton about the ins and outs or storylines of GOT, but I definitely know about the Red Wedding episode. Just from entertainment shows and online. Was kind of a big deal at the time. Haven't watched the reaction yet, but pretty much assuming you were shook by it.

Kristin

No they aren't.

K, Zachary

I never leave comments on this page because my gf and I just let things be. We love watching Cassie. My gf vetoed this episode and I agreed 4 reasons 1. We hate to Cassie in pain 2. Talisa has just about the same color skin tone as my gf. 3. Sharon Tate who as I see as a huge light in my life was 8 months pregnant when she murdered. 4. I love wolves I have wolf tattoos all over the right side of my body. We have a lot of wolf stuff all over our condo. This sucks Cassie I hated this show at this time, Just like you I have been through this entire series at least 10 times and usually skip this episode. I saw it when it first came out, haven't watched since. I don't want to say anything else, just leave you with a song. https://youtu.be/etSbOs3aUqI?si=ETyIxMmfp0sR7NT0

Jay

Bit OTT, no? She's stated on so many occasions that she absolutely loves this show. If everyone that was very upset by the Red Wedding gave up, GOT wouldn't have made it to 8 seasons. Hardly anybody would have been watching and HBO would have canned it. Go to YT and search "red wedding reaction". You'll find plenty of people ugly-crying, saying "I hate this show" "this is way too much" etc. You will also find that they all kept watching and got back to "this show is so damn good" in no time.

Darren Harrison

I have been nervous about you watching the Red Wedding episode, especially given your support of the Rob Stark character. I haven’t watched the reaction yet (and will probably skip watching the episode itself) but I am assuming Cassie was upset about how it all went down. Knowing it was coming I saw more foreshadowing of the episode than when I first watched it on its initial release. I remember I was devastated. All the code about people talking about “that episode” was for most people (myself included) referring to the Red Wedding episode.

Daniel

You still have many episodes left that is more than great! Season 4 is my favorite.

Kristin

You can have your opinion and I can have mine.

AdrianF

We're still stuck on frick. Red Wedding was the one I thought she'd slip up, but nope.

Jay

You can have your opinion, but I would say pretty much everything in my response is factually correct:)

Night King01

Well At least you read it. For me it was the internet, secondhand info from lore videos and my morbid curiosity that spoiled it. I watched a top ten video and thats where I saw it the first time by complete happenstance lol. But it always seemed fishy having Talisa be so one note so finding out shes not even a book character made more sense cause from what I have actually read from the books so far is that george doesnt waste characters. I hope to get to that book eventually but I’m a very a slow reader with ASOIAF.

Freja Corbinne

she says "fuck" a couple minutes after the episode ends

SEAN ƴü KAY

...And has a solid wtf during "the scene" lol...but i loved her f-bomb in "weapons" reaction personally...but there have been a few over the years and this one was a good one.....it's an honest response and a lot of people struggle with this episode, as we all did when it first aired....the show runners were nice enough to not make it the last episode of the season cuz it was rough waiting a year or more between each season...

Walter

This was always going to be incredibly rough. I went in to this both anticipating the reaction and dreading it. You reaction was no embarrassment because everybody felt the way you did when they saw it. It's a brutal show. A showrunner once said, "you give the audience what they need, not what they want." There are several points of light surrounded by extreme darkness in GoT, and they are worth watching.

Chris Thom

I had/have one other 'that episode' in mind as well, but no spoilers. But now I'm legit pretty worried for her. Been trying to wipe my own memory of it for years now. lol

bknsty14

Three times while reading these books I had to turn back the pages and re-read sections because I didn’t believe what I had just read. That is great storytelling, when the writer makes you believe what you read actually didn’t and couldn’t happen. This was one of those three times. Won’t say the other two for spoiler purposes. It’s a shame we’ll never get to know how the story ends. JRRM is never going to finish writing the last couple books.

MikeLL

The Patreon video player is so annoying. There is nothing better to read than the Patreon comments section, and this one especially. But every time I hit the link of "Load more comments" the video restarts and starts playing. It has restarted several times while I type this. It is maddening. Everytime I pause the video. Read more comments, hit the reload comment link and the video starts playing, over and over again. Maddening, I tell you! I am on desktop computer, maybe this wouldn't happen on the app on my phone. But this is just how I consume my Patreon.

SEAN ƴü KAY

Is it possible her kids are not sick but she just watched/recorded these episodes a few days ago and said "I hate it all right now give me a minute"...i know more tjan a few people that called out of work the monday morning following a few GOT sundays... Obv i want her and her family to be well and I can be patient but I wanted to put the joke forward cuz unlike Aubrey, I have the patience to not be a dick...we all knew this episode was coming and I felt bad knowing it was coming up....solid content but it did make my heart hurt a bit...

Chris Thom

Best to get the video on it's own page. And even better to click the YouTube logo in the corner and take it over there. It plays much smoother on the other site.

Lachlan

Season 4 is probably the best season of any TV show in history. Looking forward to the reaction.

Dennis

Been waiting weeks for this reaction, and it didn't disappoint

Chris Thom

Was it the first or second book in the series?

KTVindicare

That chapter is in Book 3: A Storm of Swords.

GillyBean

i usually copy the link and open in youtube, that way it won't restart. otherwise when i want to adjust the window size or full screen, it restarts

Johnny Bullis

HI Cass.. how you holding up after this one? We all knew and dreaded this episode for you.. but unfortunately, as you know by now, thats the nature of the show. We are all here for you, kinda like a group recovery session. I promise you, we all felt the same after ep. 9. Also, I hope your kids are feeling better.

AdrianF

Mike, just click the YouTube word that appears once it's playing and watch there? At least Cassie uses YT, the actual Patreon player is truly garbage.

Scott Macaulay

Wow. I stopped enjoying the much anticipated reaction to the wedding and started feeling really bad for you. A classic PIB though. More Kleenex!!

Ashton Rice

I had the same thought but then I remembered just how shocking and unexpected this episode is. Sure there were several major deaths before this, but I don't think any of the deaths up until now have been quite so drastically plot-shifting

fargoboyle .

"What in Seven Hells has happened" we all muttered after that episode

Kawaii Leonard

I hate being that guy but it's the Reynes. The Reynes of Castemere.

Art of Free Speech

Please, PLEASE! Cassie, don't be embarrassed. I'm sure there are many of us who took this just as badly as you. I know I sat there and stared at the TV, wide eyed, just mouthing "why? why? why? How could you? Why?" for several minutes. Try to remember, this is the episode of TV which CREATED reaction videos. People who read the books and knew this was coming literally filmed their families and friends reacting to s3e9 of GoT. It's when people realized it was entertaining to watch others react to things we've seen. ALL of our hearts break with yours, Cassie, with this episide. I don't know anyone who wasn't stunned and horrified at the Rains of Castamere. PLEASE, again, don't feel embarrassed. It's your raw, authentic reaction which makes us love you so much.

Shawn Kildal

Ya'll broke finally broke her.

MB

Feels evil to make someone as sweet as Cassie watch this :(

Blake Evans

Its telling that there's no description whatsoever to this reaction. This could possibly be the worst part of GoT. We've ALL been there and reacted the exact same way. I'm so sorry Cassie, but you've now reached one of life's milestones forever more known as the Red Wedding.

keoma songs

Hey Cassie, At the risk of repeating myself in different postings, I say cleanse this unhappiness with a JANE AUSTEN movie. They're lovely, they're funny, they're romantic, and they usually have happy weddings and engagements. SENSE & SENSIBILITY (1995) is coming back to theaters in December. It's on the Popcorn voting site owned DVD list. Or, PERSUASION (1995), also on the owned DVD list. You'll feel better. Plus I can change my Pick-a-Flick monthly choice to something else lol

Kawaii Leonard

Like Freja said, the Red Wedding was set-up much earlier. It was set up even in book 1 (or the 1st season). Although they cut this out of the show, Roose Bolton was in charge of the Stark army at the battle of the Greenfield (where Tyrion got knocked out in season 1). He deliberately lost the battle (didn't have to engage) and had all the Stark loyalist killed.

Chris Retzlaff

Ive watched a lot of reactions to this...this one made me reevaluate things.......am I Ramsey Bolton...do I enjoy the game and the emotional manipulation knowing that Im truly excited to see you breakdown and start to Crash out......you said this is embarrassing.....yet thats what we have waited for all this time......are we the villians in this story.......the answer is no....because we have gone through it and these moments need to happen to truly appreciate the good moments that may lie ahead...... Winter is coming....but heros endure

badgersnake

I remember reading this is the book and being completely shellshocked. Then I remember the show reaching this point years later and watching the entire country share the trauma.

Clay F

I agree with Jay.

Vincent Grosky

You're one of us now Cassie, truly ♥

Freja Corbinne

for me in firefox patreon posts with youtube embeds autoplay when they load and what's worse I hear a second copy of the embed that starts to autoplay about half a second after that, and I can only pause one of them because the other is hidden under the other page elements. this happens even though I have this browser set not to autoplay anything. if I reload the page it stops, but I have to do this for every single post that has embeds like this honestly patreon is enshittified like almost every other site these days

Chris Retzlaff

I was thinking when this posted...click fast because I didnt want to see the description..... And when I saw there was none......I was like OH NO!!

Chris Retzlaff

Thats why I might be addicted to these reactions.......everyone talking about the show as I sat back and thought...winter is coming and they're not prepared.....epic moment in TV

badgersnake

This is when you stop being a summer child

Jo

Hahaha reading these comments I must be the only one that subbed just to see this reaction

James MacDonald

I thought I would enjoy this. I ended up just feeling really bad for Cassie. Hope she got a big hug from Ben.

Daniel John

Soon....finally came lol

KTVindicare

My brother had never read the books but he was hooked on the show. He was so mad at me after this episode like it was my fault the characters died. I told him I wasn't gonna spoil anything for him but he was mad at me that I didn't warn him lol.

Chris Thom

"She's GONE!!" (slams mother's fingers in the door) --Natalie Portman, Black Swan

KTVindicare

I also threw the book across the room. I had to reread parts of the chapter just to make sure I hadn't imagined what I had read.

Kawaii Leonard

I hope you continue. 4 of my top ten episodes are in season 4.

Chris Thom

We could also just kinda be c***s too. But your answer was nice.

Chris Thom

Sometimes I watch just the sunrise scene from Pride and Prejudice (2005) to cleanse my soul. It's nice.

Chris Thom

Oh wow that's true, isn't it? Literally think those were the first reaction videos I ever saw. And I hadn't even seen GOT.

Omar

Guys I think we broke her beyond repair

Chris Thom

Oh interesting. Didn't realize every season was a book.

Chris Thom

Think I heard about it from the late night talk shows first.

Brent Petty

Freys: Kill EVERYONE. Cassie: "That was so mean!" Understatement of the century.

Chris Thom

It's hard to tell because she throws a curveball "friuck" in there every once in a while. And the coveted "muther frucker" on special occasions.

Samuel Champ

"This cant be healthy." Can't argue with that. But we've been here before, and we're with you. Don't be embarrassed, like I said, we've been here before.

keoma songs

I like that scene a lot except for the pre-dawn segment that was clearly filmed later on a green screen with Keira wearing a wig. Just takes me right out of the movie for a minute after the entire thing had been filmed without the green screen, or at least a lot better so that I never noticed. But yes, the sunrise scene is quite wonderful. Great musical score also.

KyloJames

Wow, this was a really tough watch with you. I haven't watched this episode since it premiered, but you have every right to feel what you're feeling, Cassie. I was worried and also anticipated this episode for you, but now having seen your reaction...feels incredibly upsetting. Thank you for pushing through, but don't feel embarrassed--we all had the same reaction when watching. I wanted to quit the show, but I promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel. When you get to season 4 & 6, you're going to feel rewarded for having to go through all of this.

KTVindicare

It doesn't fit that cleanly for every event it just happened to be right for the Red Wedding.

Joe J

Her choice to watch it, lol. Many watch Cassie for these meltdowns, entertaining, eh?

Freja Corbinne

I don't think people will agree with you about this being the "worst" (most emotionally difficult I guess you mean) part of the show. Opinions obviously differ, but many harrowing moments still remain.

Joe J

Just watch some puppy videos...she'll feel much better, lol.

Clarence Newman

Like a lot of people, I'm extremely conflicted right now. On the one hand, I don't enjoy seeing Cassie distressed. That's not why I'm here. But on the other hand, I couldn't help watching her response to the Red Wedding and think, "Wow, this is some platinum-level reaction." Of all the reasons I came here in the first place and have stayed here ever since, it's Cassie's humanity that impresses me the most. There are times I need to be reminded that humanity still exists in the world, and I don't need to look any farther than Cassie for that reminder. She engages with fictional characters as if they were her own friends and family, and what we get is a raw and honest response that perfectly explains the 500,000 subscribers she's accrued. All reactors can react with their mouths - just like every boxer can curl his hand into a fist and throw a punch. But only very few react with their heart and soul and to heck with how much of themselves winds up on the duvet at the end of it. I know Cassie won't read this, but I hope someone delivers her a similar message. Please don't quit on GoT, Cassie. It's as great as it is because of the bad as well as the good, and you didn't come this far just to come this far. George R R Martin may have a wee bit of a sadistic streak in him, but he's also one of the great storytellers of our time and he knows that for each action there has to be an equal and opposite reaction. *They" can do something bad to us, but sooner or later, when the crying and lamenting is done, we're going to stand up, square our shoulders and say "Right, you bastards. Now it's our turn." I hope this is not an expectation spoiler, because I really just mean it as a musing - something for you to consider if you are really thinking about quitting the show. Right now, the Lannisters are winning. If you quit the show, then for you, they win the whole thing. Kind of like turning Lord of the Rings off right after Gollum takes the ring from Frodo. How much would you have denied yourself if you'd done that? Maybe they do win, maybe they don't, but if Arya can carry on, if Sansa can carry on, if Gendry and Davos and Samwell and Tyrion and Jon Snow can all get up and carry on despite all they've been through, maybe there's some wins up ahead that you don't want to miss. It's just a guess, but some of those guys might be even more pissed at the Lannisters than you are. I hope that's not a spoiler, though it's a pretty broad one if it is. It strikes me as a bit silly to believe there would be nothing but darkness and loss for eight seasons roll credits The End. I think George is a better writer than that.

kaiielle

Oh Cassie, don't be embarrassed. That scene is *devastating* for everyone. I still cry just as hard as you were crying. It's the particular scene of GoT that really kicked off the entire reaction niche on YouTube because all of the book readers knew it was coming. So many people were watching the show without knowing the source material and those book readers filmed their friends reactions and uploaded them to YouTube. I don't know if a reaction exists where people aren't shocked and/or sobbing uncontrollably. But I'll be honest, despite how much moments like this hurt, I love when stories have big highs and lows and really make you feel deeply for fictional characters in either direction.

Oliver Higgs

This episode actually contributed to the genesis of reaction channels as a phenomenon. Nevertheless, my heart breaks for you, Cassie. I know every single member of this Patreon has been kind of dreading this moment for you. This isn’t the last heartbreaking moment in this show, but it’s absolutely the worst (imo), and if it’s any consolation, it’s still VERY VERY worth it to watch. You won’t be disappointed if you do, I promise. 🩵

Omar

If she feels embarrassed like she said, she can now watch other reactors reactions on YouTube and feel much better 😂

AdrianF

Yes Joe, it's entertaining. It's literally the whole point.

Steve Mercier

My former poor, sweet summer child? It just doesn't work as well...

Blake Evans

I thoroughly disagree. Between this and Ned, this hurts the worst for me personally. But I’m trying to be as spoiler free as possible. But to each their own.

MikeLL

I appreciate the comments and advice, but reread my post. The restarting was happening while I was reading the Patreon comments, which I love to do and can't do on YouTube. And the video didn't restart just a few times while I was typing that comment. It restarted over a dozen times while I was typing that comment. The video isn't restarting right now, because I never hit play. Which gives me the answer. I'll just have to probably close the browser and come back without playing the video to post and read comments. Freja, this is exactly my situation. Firefox browser, many times a second copy plays.

Catherine LW

I wanted to stop watching the show after this but I was too invested in the remaining Starks to walk away. I had said previously that Robb Stark’s storyline was similar to Edward IV, who broke his promise to marry a French princess because he fell in love with Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner. This caused more war (Wars of the Roses) as his former friend and adviser rebelled and started a campaign to dethrone him (Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, the “Kingmaker”), but Edward’s story ended more happily for him as he defeated all his foes. Martin clearly went for a darker denouement. I haven’t watched this reaction yet but I can imagine Cassie’s devastation. For a palate cleanser, watch Cranford, a mini series about village life in Victorian England. I don’t mean that you should react to it, but just watch it for your own enjoyment. It has everything: love found, love lost, joy, sorrow, all the things that give us humanity. It’s well worth it and satisfying.

Joe J

"Here comes the "rains" again Raining in my head like a tragedy Tearing me apart like a new emotion"

Joe J

We didn't cause this trainwreck, lol. She chose to watch the show.

John Doe

I hope you do continue the show, red wedding is tough but it has been fun rewatching the show with you

2-Can

While even with the first viewing I recognized that the wedding band had played the Lannister song ‘The Rains of Castamere’, I only realized during this rewatch on PIB that when Roose Bolton said “The Lannisters send their regards”, that this is what Jamie told him to say when they went their different ways at Harrenhall. Jamie would have been unaware that Bolton had already been bought-off by Tywin, but he unwittingly gave Bolton his treacherous line.

Joe J

Her tears, her anguish...is it not our entertainment Clarence? That's an ugly truth about ourselves that's best left in the shadows, lol.

Kit Thomas

That was truly a tough watch, seeing your heart being broken like that Cassie was gut wrenching. As others had have already written, this episode - the Red Wedding - was one which many of us here were eagerly anticipating and equally dreading for you. To quote the phrase popularised by the late Queen Elizabeth, Grief is the price we pay for Love…

JC

The lack of comment says all you need to know.

Clarence Newman

Not me, Joe. I'm just here for the gummi bears.

Joe J

You're just honest about it, lol.

Jenny_M

Oh, Cassie, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to hug a reactor more! I was dreading this one for you.

Obie Brown

I have never seen poor Cassie so devastated....I dreaded it since she announced she was watching the show. But her reaction might be one of the best and there are TONS out there.

SEAN ƴü KAY

I wonder if Aubrey watched it yet lol....maybe cuz the reaction is intense it took a sec to cut stuff together so thus the delay post people complained about....no matter what, this was a heartbreakingly great reaction. I know I really enjoyed watching that with you...also..... someone page Dr. Aubrey and tell them we are having a hard time locating their patience for them....we all knew this episode was gunna hit hard...and hit hard it did...I'll understand if it takes a little while to get back in the saddle... If you or someone you love wants to donate a hug to the aubreyNeedsLoveToo foundation, please call or donate, anything helps. All p4oceeds go towards Aubrey accepting Aubrey for who they are and learning to not lash out on others online especially those people who don't give a shit...supporting those who need support at the AubreyTantrum foundation....ok I'll stop...probably....

Obie Brown

I read the books, I knew it was coming and it still wrecked me.

Obie Brown

Yes, in the show the end credits are silent as well.

Johnny Bullis

One more thought Cass.. remember what Samwise said in LOTR.. "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and its worth fighting for. " Remember that Ms. Cassie.. there is some good in this show and its worth watching. :)

SEAN ƴü KAY

Great reaction vid. It was Enjoyable watching it with you C....even if it was a heartbreaker episode...looking forward to your next season's reaction...hope you and yours are well and have a good turkey day...thanks again to you and all involved in delivering us this content...

Sean Carroll

Bro relax it’s just a tv show, yes it’s naturally sad to watch but it’s not like this episode is going to affect her real life in any bad way.

James M

I'll be honest my heart ached just a little every time you commented on Rob and Talisa and their love. I knew this moment was coming. It's a hard story and not ideal for someone who likes to rewrite things into happily-ever-after. Be strong and remember that it's just a story.

First Name Ella

Legitimately hard to watch your reaction.

First Name Ella

Yeah I hope she at least finishes season 6.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Don’t worry, not a “expectation spoiler” because they don’t really exist.

First Name Ella

Yeah I CHERISHED watching the tears flow as a book reader a decade ago. Now I just hurt for her. I guess I’ve grown up lol

Cody Nelson

Welcome to the Red Wedding Cassie. I don't think I've ever wanted to hug you so bad while watching that. :( I wouldn't blame you if you took a short break before starting season 4. Either way, season 4 is soooooo good! Interestingly, the Red Wedding chapter in the book was the hardest chapter for George RR Martin to write. So much so that he skipped over that part when he got to it and wrote the rest of the book. Only coming back to write that chapter last. Also, maybe now you can better understand what he means when he says he wants the reader to be in mortal fear of turning the page and not knowing what is gonna happen next.

Sean Carroll

Season 4 is probably 4th place in all time seasons for me. My top 5 seasons 1. Attack on titan season 4 2. Attack on titan season 3 3. Breaking bad season 5 4. Got season 4 5. Better call Saul season 6

Captain Hammer

It's definitely not embarrassing. We watch because we love your attachment. A lot of us had similar reactions. <3 Cassie Stannis was against Rob because he declared the North independent from the 7 kingdoms. And since Stannis considers himself king of the seven kingdoms he considers that usurping part of his crown.

Allan Rumberger

I've had mixed feelings about it since she first started watching, and yes anticipating this was part of my decision to resubscribe, though the primary reason was my love for the show and an eagerness to experience it through the eyes of one of my favourite reactors. I don't feel good about it wanting to watch this one in particular, but it is what it is. That's two down, three to go on the "she's going to be devastated" list. At least she has next week's episodes to look forward to for a bit of positivity.

Steve Holton

When GOT author George R.R. Martin was a little boy his mother would often get up off the family couch and turn off the television saying, “We all know how this will end.” Which inspired the author to write stories so unpredictable his wife once threatened to leave him if he killed off her favorite characters.

John Liebling

I get spoilers, but someone should have warned Cassie to expect something horrific, without giving and details...and not I didn't give her a warning...difficult to know what to do for such a kind soul watching...the red wedding.

Clay F

Good comments but, respectfully, I think the best for her is to start S4 with no break.

Xavier Casanova

I think season 4 will reinvigorate her desire for the show but season 5 will be make or break for her, I think.

Mad World

This reaction is why im here.. its real and heartbreaking.. this is why i love movies and tv series.. it moves you deeply when you find the right one. Hang in there Mrs. Popcorn :)

John Liebling

No spoilers from me...however there will be a point where you'll see some justice.

John Liebling

Take a break Cassie and give husband a big hug.

Tyler Hale

The Lannisters send their regards! *stabs*

Clay F

Stannis called Rob a usurper b/c Rob wanted an independent North instead of the North remaining under the Iron Throne. Stannis would have been fine w/Rob being Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North -- But Rob wanted to be KING of the North.

Kirk Barbera

Probably go down as one of the all time great reactions ever.

Christian Becker

Well, that went as expected. Expectations not only met but far surpassed. Every (morally good) fibre in me wanted to warn her, but the sadistic side of me wanted to respect the “no warnings” rule and enjoy the spectacle.

MikeLL

What got me more were the "Aarya is going to be reunited with her mother" comments.

2-Can

Just finished watching ep 10. The reason Stannis couldn’t ally with Rob is b/c Stannis saw himself as the rightful king of the seven kingdoms while the North had declared its independence and named Rob its king. Stannis saw Rob as a usurper over the North, so they would have had to work that out, but Stannis would have never let the North leave and the North is serious about not bending the knee again (in the history of Westeros, the North had been an independent kingdom until a few hundred years before when the Targaryens first arrived with their dragons and got the Stark king to bend the knee and join as the seventh kingdom). The North shares a lot of history with the Wildlings north of the wall, which is why they have some similarities culturally. Rob was only marching on Kings Landing for revenge against the Lannisters and to rescue Sansa, but then he would have left.

Clay F

I know how invested you become in characters you love. S3E9 truly devastating for you. Just my opinion, but I think the best thing for you is to not stop -- I say that objectively w/o consideration of my personal interest that you continue.

Dk

The real solution is to get attached to and love characters that are smart. Not "good" or "honorable". This is not a world that rewards following your heart.

PianoDean

You can be "wary" AND "weary" after what they did in Season 1, Cassie. I bet her analytics will be insane for this. Pretty sure many people sub'd JUST for THIS

logi clause

lmao I can't with this opening. I'm so sorry in advance.

JoshGrobansDryMouth

This scene literally spawned reaction videos. It’s so weirdly patronizing to tell an adult you don’t know that they shouldn’t watch a tv show lmao

Chris Retzlaff

"If you thought there was going to be a happy ending....you havent been paying attention......"

Chris Retzlaff

GoT reactions.....started it all and continues to be a cheat code for subs....lol Before this it was funny cat videos

Cole Jennett

lol, no she truly just watched it yesterday.

Baldemort

I cant wait for season 4. My fav season! You made it through the red wedding, that is the point I think anybody becomes a true veteran of game of thrones! But the best this show has to offer still has yet to come! Keep going!

Cole Jennett

Episode 9 for sure, 10 was not a bad episode for her to be numb to as nothing really happens

Cole Jennett

She has never officially sworn. She said frick this time too

Obie Brown

Season 4 is also a favorite of mine! ( watch out I got scolded for saying this before, because apparently that's a spoiler (???)

Baldemort

Yeah I saw that annoying behavior to your =comment. Being excited for the show isnt a spoiler, people who say that have no idea how to have fun. Ignore them. Im simply being excited about my "personal" fav very generic mention of liking season 4. I enjoy all the seasons though, but there are moments in season 4 I personally just love more than the others. Thats not spoiling anything.

Cole Jennett

Robb Stark never had a POV in the books. He was not a major character

Cole Jennett

I’m pretty sure he’s just an early release YouTube member.

Gray

I swear some people hear what they want to hear she is most definitely saying frick each time. She has said she does swear but very rarely, probably stubbing a toe would elicit an F bomb, well that's usually the case for me haha

Gray

Oof!, it's not been a very tender November so far. I swear every other reaction this month you've been devastated/in tears. Think you need to crowbar a comedy in at some point. Not surprised your a bit numb now especially with how investesd you get with the characters. Hopefully you continue with the show but I think I these last two episodes may have dashed some of that excitement you had at the start of every episode.

Bill Maurer

Spoiler alert if you have NOT read the book ..................................................................... Help me with my memory ..... Robb's wife was NOT at the Red Wedding correct? I remember her being "away" and when news came of the Wedding, I believe she went back home and lived her life alone ... again my memory escapes me. Thanks

Cole Jennett

I think giving birth maybe, and I believe she admitted to one when she got into an accident one time

Clay F

To get more awesome Richard Madden (who played Rob) and not have S3E9 as the last lingering view of him, see: "Bodyguard" (2018) (thriller/drama) (6 episodes) [RT 93%]. Richard Madden is lead (a good guy). British TV miniseries I think you would like. Golden Globe nominee Best TV Series - Drama. Emmy nominee Outstanding Drama Series. --Richard Madden won Golden Globe for Best Actor.

John Liebling

Actually, its not. What specifically have I spoiled, is there uniform justice, specific justice, and for whom will there be justice, because of what I wrote, does Cassie now have specific detail of what is to come...not she does not. JoshGrobansDryMouth...is in my opinion a peculiar handle.

Kal Zakath

This episode is one of the roughest episodes of any show ever to get through. I was worried that someone who empathized with the characters so strongly, who loved the stories of true love so much, would be broken by the Red Wedding. Be not afraid, nor embarrassed, nor upset that you were broken by this episode - so many were when it first was on. I remember not saying a word the next day - and didn't even talk about the episode until days after it aired. The more I talked to about it, the more I found had that same reaction - like you said - numb and it took some time to get the feeling back - and I almost didn't for the final episode of the season, but glad I did. Fear not, though - there are better times coming. I hope that you continue with the show - there are highs higher than anything that you have seen so far, and this is as low as it gets.

Steve Smith

My heart literally broke seeing how much it hurt Cassie to see her favorite characters being murdered that way. Hang in there, sister, things can only get better.

Joe J

Not likely she'll give up the new patron subs and dollars.

Steve Smith

That was an unnecessary comment. Shame on you.

John Mellor

When she swigged her drink at the start I was saying - go easy on that you'll need it, and put a nip of something a bit more deliberate in it.

D. T. Nelson

I know it's tough now, but if you keep going you will be rewarded. Just remember the Stark motto. Winter is coming—it's always coming—but spring always follows winter. Tides ebb and flow. I don't want to give anything away, but I will tell you that the Red Wedding (so named for obvious reasons) was the most horrific, shocking, and lowest point for the Starks. There will be other low points, but none so devestating as that. You have survived the worst. (And no need to apologize. Your reaction was quite typical for first time viewers).

PianoDean

I agree...we all knew it was coming and I expected her to take it pretty hard....but even after being a bit desensitized to it I could feel my emotions smoldering. In fact I think there's only one reaction I saw that took it harder and that person's significant other had to come physically comfort her. Dear oh dear...as C3P0 would say.

Joe J

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming. Everyone please leave the building in an orderly fashion. 😉

Clay F

Joe -- yeah, that is a reason to not stop. Good point. She is a business woman and entertainer. Yet, I was thinking more of for her personal feelings that it better she not stop (instead, start S4 without break).

John Neiberger

If it's any consolation, this was really hard for book readers, too. When I read this scene in the books, I practically threw my book across the room and had to take a break. It was pretty rough to read. And there was an aspect to it that was even worse for book readers because we thought that Arya might also be dead. In the show, you see the Hound knock her out and rescue her, but in the books it's much less clear until later. It was devastating. And don't be embarrassed at all by your reaction. This is arguably the most devastating episode of TV in history. But there is so much of the story to get to and you won't regret it. Stick with it.

michael martin

I think i sat in silence for about ten minutes after I watched this episode when it first aired.

Cody Nelson

Yeah, you’re probably right. I was just saying that I wouldn’t blame her if she decided to take a break.

DAVID COSTELLO

She just found out WHY reaction videos became so popular after this. She may need a break or an emergency watch of something guaranteed to take her mind off it, either by herself or watching with us.

Matthew s

That was a rough reaction to watch. Hope you keep with the show! Stannis named Rob Stark as one of his enemies during his first appearance back in Season 2. Rob was fighting to remove the North and the Riverlands from the control of the Iron Throne. Those two areas make up a huge portion of the country. Stannis wants to sit the Iron Throne and maintain control over the North and Riverlands.

Patrick Flanagan

At the end of the day it's a TV show, not a snuff film.

Brian Harris

When I saw you were going to start GoT reactions, I immediately placed odds at about 50/50 as to whether you’d make it past the third season. I wouldn’t blame you. When I came to this moment in the books, I threw the book across the room and didn’t pick it up for a week. It’s not embarrassing to take it personally. You SHOULD take it personally. Good art is personal. And you’re right, this is a particularly cruel and indifferent world. But the good news is that the bad guys have to live in it too. Chaos is mean … but it impacts everyone.

Stan the Man

Wait. It’s just a TV show? Well shit. Why didn’t anyone tell me. And here I was thinking it was a documentary. And look, I don’t know how much you’ve seen of either this reaction or of the actual show. But you can say “Bro it’s just a TV show” all you want. People react to things differently. It’s like saying “Bro. It’s just a roller coaster” or “bro it’s just a pool”. Yes. To you and I it’s “just a tv show”. But not everyone is the same. We aren’t suppose to hint or reference upcoming episodes but I’ll just say generally this show loves misery. Some people? Exposure to that type of misery isn’t good for them.

Brian Shannow

We all have come to watch this reaction to see the light of joy leave someone's eyes so are we really any better than Ramsay

John Liebling

How do you know its a TV show? Maybe...????

Tater

Just watched this reaction for the second time today. Absolute cinema.

WaitingInTime

I'm very nervous to watch this reaction 😟

Tater

It doesn't disappoint, thats for sure.

Thomas Cooney

You shouldn't feel embarrassed -- "The Red Wedding" in the books & the show (while having differences) -- essentially delivers the same gut punch. Unexpected. Out of nowhere. And George RR Martin actually saved this chapter from Book three (A Storm of Swords) until the rest of the book was finished, because it was so difficult for him to write.

Steve SG-1

To be fair we had a week to digest episode 9 before we got to the season finale. So watching these back to back must have been extra emotional.

Chris Thom

First The Fly and now...this? Will thou not rest until Jack Elam's rogue eye ends her sanity completely?? MONSTER. lol

Clarence Newman

I think Cassie deserves a reward for going through her best (toughest for her) October, then seeing Neil Perry shoot himself because he was so sick of all the homework, then poor Forrest Gump losing his Jenny on a Saturday morning-guh, THEN sitting through the most devastating hour of television since Penny turned up with a bobcut in Big Bang Theory. Fortunately, she is very close to just such a reward. Hang in there, Cassie. Just 8k more subscribers to go before you hit the magic half million subs on YT! And yes, sweet lady - what you just went through and all the other moments like it are what is going to get you there. I hesitate to say this because you are undoubtedly a woman, but.....you da man.

Clarence Newman

You speak the truth, Chris. Cannonball Run would definitely get her those last 8k of subscribers. Shush, Richard. You know it makes sense.

Joshua Garrett

I understand that you're not giving away plot points, but that is absolutely a spoiler. I think you should edit your post because Cassie has asked that we don't spoil the show for her.

Chris Thom

I know she's watching ER to decompress, but I'm not sure if she realizes how much that show may put her through the emotional wringer too. Good, nostalgic show, but it gets pretty intense and sad at parts.

Mike A

I imagined the description for this reaction would be something like "I am not okay." Instead, we don't get a description at all. That kinda seems more fitting. Props for getting through it, Cassie!

D. T. Nelson

Not anywhere close to a spoiler. I have revealed nothing. Just reminded her of something she has already come to realize about the show and hopefully strengthened her resolve to continue.

Chris Thom

Looks like this might be on track to be her most commented on movie or tv show episode on Patreon ever. Sin City holds the current record with 366.

Rick Williams

And now you know why this is a hard series to watch. There is nothing you need to be embarrassed about, Cassie. You feel what you feel. Let it out. Hard reaction. Now on to episode 10.

Tara ✨💫

I'm so sorry Cassie. I'm sorry that we couldn't warn you about the Red wedding. My initial reaction was much like yours. I was devastated. I love the Starks also and was so angry after that episode. It still breaks my heart. People who watched the show live had a year to process this before S4. All I can say is, despite how heatrbroken you are, there is still good with many characters and there are still Starks out there to follow Arya, Sansa, Bran, Rickon and of course Jon.

Canadianant

Wow . I knew that would be devastating but even I underestimated how much this would hit you. My heart broke for you watching this. I truly thought what have we done.? This was shocking for all first time viewers but for someone like you that takes these characters into your heart and loves them like they are dear friends, this was just a betrayal. I truly hope your family gave you the hug and support that the rest of us are sending your way. It's like you need to go on bereavement leave. If you decide not to continue a game of thrones, I think some of us would certainly understand.

Clay F

Episode 9 S1E9 - Ned executed S2E9 - Stannis invasion S3E9 - Red Wedding

CloudedJay

I felt so bad for you omg .

Kawaii Leonard

Everyone always forgets the Riverlands, but Robb was crowned king in the North and the Riverlands (even the show forgets). To answer Cassie's other question about why didn't Robb march on Kingslanding. Robb basically lost the war the day the Tyrells showed up at Kingslanding in season 2. They were already outnumbered before the Tyrells joined the Lannisters, but after, Robb was outnumbered 3 or 4 to 1.

Eve Griffin

I was a late viewer. Probably started and caught up before S7&8 so I had an idea something awful happened but was depressed for days lol. I was nervous for our girl Cass.

Joe J

We haven't done anything, lol. She choose to watch this show all by herself.

Eve Griffin

I don't think I could've done back to back. I give her big credit. I waited 2 weeks, had to process it. I'm beyond glad I continued though.

Milton Reduxed

Put yourself into the shoes of someone who has no idea what's coming—anything is possible When you say there is nothing as bad as the red wedding from now on, you are removing the possibility of there being anything as bad, or even worse, in the remaining seasons. So they won't be surprised when nothing worse happens because you already told them it's not going to

Joe J

Reward you say? I can think of nothing better than a double-header of "Cannonball Run" and "Rhinestone". 😆

Philip Alan

Yes. Exactly my point. :)

orlandoJ21

We've all been there. I don't know that I've witnessed a more shocking moment than the Red Wedding?! Even if u knew the outcome watching it adapted to live tv is surreal.

Mark White

Yep, conflicted is just how I feel now. I had heard about this red wedding, I knew something big was coming, but blimey! Did they need to go that far?! I think maybe it wouldn’t have bothered me at all, in fact it is very much in keeping with the tone of the show, But, it was Cassie reaction that has left me feeling a little numb too! Really didn’t like seeing her like that. I think Cassie’s reactions amplify my feelings. When she is happy it makes me happy, but when she is distraught like that, I feel for her and find it difficult to enjoy. I think it actually takes away from my enjoyment of the show a little. It doesn’t mean I will stop watching, I’m in to it now. But I can’t say I enjoyed that reaction.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Cassie, your reaction to the Red Wedding was outstanding. You captured the emotion, tension, and shock of that episode with such authenticity and insight, and you never missed the nuance that makes Game of Thrones so compelling. You were so visibly heartbroken in that moment that my heart genuinely went out to you. Watching you engage so deeply with the story and its characters is truly emotional, and your genuine reactions are what make your journey so special. I can’t wait to see you continue through the series.

LEO

Our sweet summer child just graduated from Innocence to Trauma 101.

2-Can

PENNY GETS A BOBCUT??? YOU BA$T4RD!!!!

Carol_White

For me this is coming full circle. When this episode aired 12 years ago, a bunch of people who had read the books pointed cameras at their friends who had not read the books and posted their reactions on the internet. I must have watched a hundred of them. Arguably this was the birth of the reaction video. And now Cassie is reacting to The Rains of Castamere herself. I don't think it's a stretch to say she owes her weird career to this episode.

Chris Thom

I had totally forgot these were the first reaction vids I ever watched. But yeah, they literally were. And then quarantine happened.

Mike Smith

Cassie, your patreons love and appreciate you. Those of us who had already watched this show knew this was coming. I just came to say a couple of things: 1) Your reaction was most certainly NOT embarrassing. Your reaction is WHY you are beloved, it is why people support you, You are genuine. You are authentic. You are sincere. Not ever will your reactions - for shocking moments like in ep. 9 - not ever will they be embarrassing. Not ever. You need not apologize for your reactions or consider them embarrassing. The shows creators wanted the fans to react exactly as you did. 2) I'll say it again Cassie; you are beloved by your fans. We feel for you, and we feel what you are going through. Keep going Cassie, the night is always darkest before the dawn. Take care.

Mark White

Kaiielle, I hope Cassie has a coping strategy for moments like this. You know, so it doesn’t stick in her head too long afterwards. Something to distract herself or mediate or a favourite comedy show, anything really. She clearly has been going through a lot recently, what with all her kids sick etc. she probably was thinking afterwards, i could of done without that tonight!

Clarence Newman

Sorry, 2-Can, that was a typo. I meant 'bobcat'. She turned up with a bobcat!

2-Can

I. Can’t. Get. The. Image. Out. Of. My. Brain!!!

Chris Thom

English, smooth tongued supervillain at this point. With corporate sponsorship.

Mike Lemon

Not even close. There are "I am your father" reactions years before that.

Clarence Newman

Chris. If I ever persuade Cassie to watch Cannonball Run, that will truly be my superpower.

Cereal and Grape Juice

Wow! Season 3, episode 9 is on my most anticipated reactions list. Cassie did not disappoint.

Clarence Newman

We owe Cassie our empathy tears, Mark. Otherwise, it would be like her shouting at Robb Stark "Get up, you goldbricking pansy! Tis but a scratch!"

BibbitduBois

When people talk about how hard it would be for Cassie to watch GoT, this is pretty much the episode everyone is thinking about. Everyone was horrified when this was first aired.

Clarence Newman

Actually, I'm gonna go for it right now..... Cassie! I faithfully promise that, unlike in the Red Wedding, no one in Cannonball Run gets the gift of 20 new belly buttons.

Joseph Zavagno

Do NOT be embarrassed, when I first read this scene I got soooo mad, I genuinely wanted to light all the books on fire.

Clay F

Well said.

Rick Williams

Good reaction Cassie. This was my first time watching episode 10. I couldn't make it past episode 9 when it originally aired. It is a hard series to watched. I have never watched the whole thing. Maybe this time I will as long as you do. I will continue to watch with you. I will make it as far as you do this time.

Paul W

This is why we love PIB. While I don't take any pleasure in her grief, it's these raw reactions that we can all relate to.

Chris Thom

Pretty sure these were the first ones I ever watched. Then a string of LOTR ones. And yeah Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith. Then teens watching old pop culture or something like that. Cassie started some time in there I think.

Chris Thom

Up until then, did the show diverge from the books much?

Doug

I knew Cassie would be destroyed by The Red Wedding. It's bad.

Clay F

"lowest point for the Starks. There will be other low points, but none so devestating as that" = spoiler

Rick Williams

I never could get to episode 10 until now watching Cassie's reaction.

MacGuffinStuff

Oof, I was dreading the reaction to Rains of Castamere, every time Cassie mentioned how much she loved Rob and Talissa. And this episode introduced me to reaction videos in the first place, one of the first I remember ever seeing was just a compilation of people losing it over this episode. But, for some context it has to be noted or remembered that George RR Martin's inspiration for a lot if not most of his stories is actual history. Rains of Castamere is inspired by an actual event in Scottish history, the Massacre of Glencoe, when the Campbells massacred their hosts, the MacDonalds.

D. T. Nelson

Agree to disagree on that. Spoilers are specific revelations about the plot. All I did is reassure her that if she can get through S3 E9 she will be able to handle anything else this show has to offer (and it is going to offer a LOT). If you watched the same reaction I did you know she is about 5 seconds away from quitting the whole show. She even said several times that she's out. She managed to push through the season finale (though I'm not certain she heard or saw half of what was going on in that episode. She looked genuinely traumatized.)

Lukas

Delete your comment. If you can't understand why that is a spoiler, then there is no hope for you. You are setting expectations. She might not watch future episodes being scared or worried, hence why you have created a "reaction spoiler" as I like to call them. Just stop mentioning about what to expect going forward. THAT is a spoiler, it spoils a genuine first time reaction with setting expectations about what will and won't be bad. Not specifically story points, but you have muddied the waters of a genuine reaxction. Just stop doing this

orlandoJ21

Certain details like the ages of the Stark children, some dialogue but nothing too drastic. Major difference is that Robb's wife was not at the wedding.

Lukas

No they shouldn't have. It's a bloody TV show. It's not real. If someone had have warned, the backlash would have been massive

Mojo One Thousand

I agree with that Mike, but I also I forgot that "Talisa" offer up "Eddard" as the name of the unborn child... I think a big "oh dear" went through my head as it was the last raise of the stakes for Cassie.

Clay F

You set an expectation. She herself personally requested no expectation spoilers.

Milton Reduxed

If Cassie quits GoT because she won't watch another Red Wedding, THEN speak up Reactors frequently ask for no spoilers, they will often say they stopped reading comments because of spoilers. It may seem innocuous to you but several of these types of spoilers in every comment forum stop a reactor going in as fresh as they could—it interferes with their personal enjoyment and their business

kaiielle

I'm sure she does. I'll admit I was nervous after seeing Matt have to step back from editing a bit AND her kids being unwell and then knowing this episode was next. 🥲

Joe J

It was my understanding Cassie never reads any of the comments on these specific GoT posts. She stays well clear of these posts.

John Liebling

Why are you sooooo wrong? I can't believe you keep on, keeping on and spoiling season 4-8 for Cassie. You've ruined everything...now...how can I...how can any PIB subscriber and Patreon enjoy any of this. Why did you do that? Why? Why? Just out of curiosity what would happen if you added an extra S to your name and hyphenated the U between the K??????

Mojo One Thousand

He also lost a significant portion of his own army, the "Karstarks", over the handling of "Jaime Lannister" this season.

Paul W

Just because you don't reveal specific details doesn't mean it's not a spoiler. You need to give her every chance to experience the show with no expectations whatsoever.

Ian A

When this first aired, people the next day at work were soooooo mad! I have never seen a group of more diverse people (from the 60 yr old cowboy type boss to the 17 yr old emo girl who worked part time) enraged about the same thing like that at my job.

John Liebling

Because its really not a TV show...I think we should all encourage as many backlashes as possible. Backlash and eyelash...all are ruining my chance as sarcasm.

John Liebling

I disagree one million percent. Why can't Canadian play hockey?

Joe J

Remember, Cassie did survive Howard the Duck doing the horizontal bop with a very willing Lea Thompson...now that's some real horror people. 😨

Just Plain Bob

Dropped in to watch the reaction to The Rains of Castamere. It would be nice if good always won, but it doesn’t. Ugly realities taking place right now in the world include: The Chinese government is currently confining large numbers of Uyghurs to internment camps and allegedly actively involved in genocide against them, leading the UN Human Rights Office to accuse them of “crimes against humanity.” The Walk Free Foundation estimates there are currently 50 million people worldwide held in slavery. The International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law estimates that 125,000 Christians have been targeted and murdered in Nigeria in hate crimes against their faith. The International Labour Organization estimates that almost 5 million people are sex trafficked each year. And in the U.S., half of all homicides go unsolved/unpunished. And there are countless other examples. Evil wins all the time.

Omar

Alrighty well that picks me right up 😂

Just Plain Bob

Cheery, isn’t it?😂 To me, the lesson is simple. People can be just awful and always have been. The good news is that we keep trying. Maybe one day we’ll get it right.

Chris Thom

Thanks a million, Bob. Was feeling optimistic there for a hot second. Lol

Freja Corbinne

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The United States is gearing up to commit genocide against trans people with constant blood libel disinformation and a continuous rollback of rights and civil protections. There's also massive ICE deportation campaigns that are brutalizing people. Crackdowns on homeless people. The government and large corporations are run by pedophiles and they're all protecting each other.

MannyDC

Dammmm i knew this would be the one to question if you would think about not continuing the series🥹🥹🥹

Freja Corbinne

why is everyone here acting like she's been traumatized? jesus

Dcv50

Hahahaha “I don’t think this is healthy” is one of the best responses I’ve ever heard

Bill Maurer

That was hard to watch. We all knew what was coming but nothing we can do to stop it. Keep going Cassie, no going back

Joe J

Bob, Freja - FYI, these types of posts are not allowed here. Ben's very strict on this.

Just Plain Bob

My post had no political content whatsoever. It was a simple “man’s inhumanity to man” post. It was never my intention to kick off a discussion about politics.

Kevin

The show broke your heart because it was able to be loved by you in the first place. I, too, found it hard to say goodbye to my favorite characters. One lesson that I took away from the show was that the good, moral, scrupulous people are among the first to be killed by those that are not when push comes to shove. I hope you, and your family, are all feeling better. There is a lot more of the Game to play, and winter is coming! The North Remember!

James M

Cassie has been forewarned more than enough. You can't watch the show execute Ned Stark and then say you expected certain characters will not be killed simply because they seem like the good guys.

Astraeos

Okay some more things now after actually watching the reaction. Don't ever feel embarassed Cassie, we watch you to see reactions exactly like that. Also, remember, most of us reacted with the same depths of emotion that you did as well. Don't give up on the show. Like you were doing at the end of Episode 10, you have to find the good, and root and hope for those people. Sam, Jon, Gilly, Arya, Sansa, Davos, Shireen, and obviously, Dany. Many characters you've come to love.

Mike Lemon

"And in the U.S., half of all homicides go unsolved/unpunished." You need to be more specific with that since homicide can be legal.

Just Plain Bob

I was using homicide in the commonly held usage of the term.

Mike Lemon

@Freja - Find different news sources.

Mojo One Thousand

I enjoyed "The Bodyguard", and the other lead in series is Keeley Hawes, who is in a movie with Peter Dinklage ("Tyrion") I have suggested a couple of times... the original "Death at a funeral" (2007). Despite the title it would be a welcome departure to the darkness of GoT at this point.

John P Tucker

Stay strong, and know that Winter is Coming!

Freja Corbinne

@Joe J well okay, but if someone's gonna make a post about current major issues and deliberately leave some topical things out I'm gonna bring them up

Milton Reduxed

''Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous. So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer'' — 1 John 3:12

Mike Lemon

Two things- He Never Died (2015) is a pretty OK movie that deals with that. To be fair to Cain, he didn't know what would happen- nobody ever died before. (not mine)

John

IMO, the Starks are the good guys, and the universe hates the good guys. Don't be embarrassed by your reaction to the Red Wedding. EVERYONE had that same reaction the first time we saw it. Everyone. We all went into the 10th episode praying it was all a dream or something. One trivia note, when they first arrived at The Twins, that was salt and bread being offered to the group. It's a symbolic offering by a host to welcome people and offer them the host's protection while they are there. Walder Frey's treachery was not only heinous by the laws of man, but it was also sacrilegious in the eyes of the gods.

Cole Jennett

Let’s nip it in the bud here though please folks. Thanks!

Mike Lemon

There are four types of Men- He who knows not, and knows not he knows not—he is a fool; shun him. He who knows not, and knows he knows not—he is simple; teach him. He who knows, and knows not he knows—he is asleep; waken him. He who knows, and knows he knows—he is a wise man; follow him.

Kiss the Librarian

I've rewatched GoT a couple times, and have to skip the Red Wedding scene. Was dreading this reaction.

John Yao

“No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for,” J***l “When you’re lost in the darkness, look for the light”. Ooops wait wrong series….

Freja Corbinne

there are way more than two genders if we're replying with irrelevant but true stuff now

Freja Corbinne

for real though that spiel was pretty transparently you trying to flex how you think you're smarter than me

JRCortez

I normally rewatch Cassie's reactions once or twice. Not sure I'll be doing that with this episode 🙁.....

Matt Mabry

I read the books before ever seeing the TV version. I remember yelling out the same thing. "This is not happening!" You reaction was spot on and we all felt the same way.

mitchhamilton64

im sorry but i got some sick enjoyment out your reaction from ep 9, i knew i would since season 2 when you said "i hope rob marry's for love." im sorry but rob was an absolute fool to not marry frey's daughter like he promised. you do not make a promise to another lord for a favor and then break your end of the bargain when youre the one who asked for the favor. robs father, ned, the first thing we see of ned is him showing his sons what happens to those who break their oaths. rob was selfish to not simply marry the girl when his men were sacrificing everyday to carry on his war. the least he could do was sacrifice a little for them. rob carried the responsibility of all his men, and they died because of his decision.

Milton Reduxed

Is gender in the room with us right now?

Sam

Welcome to GoT, my not Summerchild anymore. I am sorry that you had to go through it. And dont worry, most people drowned during this episode back then. ;D

JohnnyUtah

I'm going to be completely candid here, this is my favorite show of all-time, I hated episode 9. I did not take enjoyment in Cassies reaction, with that said any show that can evoke emotion the way this one can deserves to be seen. If nothing else we can all suffer the pain of loss together and enjoy justice when it prevails!

Brad

I have been absolutely dreading this episode for you ever since you said you were gonna watch the show. The way they built up their love, sweetness, and romance over several scenes and episodes was almost sadistic. I actually feel a little guilty for not being able to warn you about it. The Red Wedding made me feel sick to my stomach the first time I watched it. I feel sick just thinking about it... In the back of my mind, I'm always wondering if reactors are faking. But you definitely were not. I could see the complete horror on your face. Great job! lol

Oisin Clissmann

The writers (or author) really played with our hearts by having those very sentimental scenes between Robb and Talisa moments before the betrayal. So cruel.

TinCan Cosmanaut

Maybe you hate it now but I think Ep 9 was the origin of all reactions It would prob happen sooner or later but Game of Thrones is responsible for so many people making a living reacting to shows/movies

Oisin Clissmann

Cole, I was wondering if I was alone in thinking this. For me, SE3E10 was the weakest finale to date, and a mediocre GOT episode. There was stuff happening, but only in bits and without any satisfaction or payoff. Perhaps it's the numbness talking after E9.

Uncle Phoenix

LOL. My favorite show too; and it’s so frustrating not being able to mention all the things that I love about it.

WhatsUpItsMikeyB!

I feel so bad for you! Also, Tincan below isn't wrong. Lol. But, do not feel embarrassed about how you feel on this one... Trust us... The ones who watched The Red Wedding as it came out... We were the same. You're doing so well! It's heart wrenching at times, but it does get better. 💖

JohnnyUtah

I quit for 2 years after they took Ned starks head, and 2 years after the red wedding, it certainly helped. Also gave me a sweet back log of episodes!

Uncle Phoenix

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.” — Ned Stark

Obie Brown

Or seeing a train a collision course and could not warn anyone.

Dan

Cassie, I so wanted to somehow warn you to have extra Kleenex, but that would’ve been a spoiler so I couldn’t. I’m sorry. We’re with you and we all respect and treasure your reactions. Please keep going! Watching your reactions is one of my favorite things during the week.

Arturo

This F_ing show! Right? NOTHING to be Embarrassed Empathy, even extreme empathy to fictionals characters. You are home, safe and warm, perfect place to let yourself feel. For thousens of years most of the world was very very dangerous so many places still are. And we are always a Sun's sneeze away for the systems and safeguards to fail. I wrote sometime ago Cassie should have a "Emergency kit" with her, some Kleenex, a soft blanket, something to squeeze realy hard, some ice cream and after the start of E10 I would add somthings to throw (like paking penuts or ping pong balls). I also recomend someone let Ben know, a heads up, there could be some emotions bubbling that day.

My_Cousin_Mose

I've been working all day. The comments indicate I should get a large bowl of popcorn for this one.

Chris Thom

Most commented movie or TV show on PIB Patreon ever. Just surpassed Sin City for the record.

SeanATX

Gosh, Cassie you poor thing. We always knew this would be tough for you, but still really felt for you during the reaction. Even the hopeful moments of the recent episodes had me feeling guilty, knowing what was coming and how you just lit up.

Mike Smith

I literally did this. I made popcorn before watching the reaction.

Chris Thom

I remember this show being described as an abusive relationship around the time this aired.

Chris Thom

Why can't you mention them? You mean like themes from the show, or specific plot arcs?

Brian Wegner

I think Cassie needs a feel good after this run. I have a suggestion that is a little unconventional. Cassie has recently watched her first anime with Demon Hunters, but I'd like to suggest "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End". My children introduce my family to it, and everyone absolutely loved it. I suspect it would be right up Cassie's alley. The series is incredibly popular and could expand her audience. The 2nd season is being released at the beginning of next year, so the timing is perfect.

Stephen Knox

The episode that launched YouTube reactions as a segment. Nothing to be ashamed of, it is one of the harshest episodes of television ever released. Hang in there.

Arturo

I have seen meany of the reactions to this episode form other chanels and they are similar, emotional, denial, anger... the stages of grief? Its greate wrighting, acting and the music also helps.

Lock_Down

I still remember the first time I watched and I watched it alone , I was sooooooo in shock I turned it off and went for a 3 hour walk . This is hard

Freja Corbinne

@Milton right wingers in denial sure are.

Kawaii Leonard

So the Red Wedding is from Catelyn's point of view chapter in the 3rd book. I'll just add the last paragraph from that chapter: ...Finally someone took the knife away from her. The tears burned like vinegar as they ran down her cheeks. Ten fierce ravens were raking her face with sharp talons and tearing off strips of flesh, leaving deep furrows that ran red with blood. She could taste it on her lips. It hurts so much, she thought. Our children, Ned, all our sweet babes. Rickon, Bran, Arya, Sansa, Robb...Robb...Please, Ned, please, make it stop, make it stop hurting... The white tears and the red ones ran together until her face was torn and tattered, the face that Ned loved. Catelyn Stark raised her hands and watched the blood run down her long fingers, over her wrists, beneath the sleeves of her gown. Slow red worms crawled along her arms and under her clothes. It tickles. That made her laugh until she screamed. "Mad", someone said, "she's lost her wits," and someone else said, "Make an end, " and a hand grabbed her by the scalp just as she'd done with Jinglebell, and she thought, No, don't, don't cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. Then steel was at her throat, and its bite was red and cold...

TheMoonKingdom

Most people take a break after the Red Wedding. I think it's pretty amazing that you keep watching to the next episode. I feel sad that the episode broke your heart, as it did for the rest of us though :(

RJ Lundy

As has been mentioned before in this thread, this is where we anticipated a strong reaction. Like many, GoT reactions during the COVID crisis is what started the journey that ultimately brought me to your channel. Your reaction is exactly why so many of us adore you, and with all the hard work you put it, it’s no wonder you have been successful. Thank you Cassie for sharing with us, and you should not be embarrassed at all. Most of us had visceral reactions to this scene and others, and your willingness to share with us has allowed us to vicariously experience those feelings again through you. Thank you!!

Just Plain Bob

I imagine Uncle Phoenix is referring to things he likes about future episodes or which foreshadow future events. But that’s just a guess.

Just Plain Bob

My experience watching The Rains of Castamere was quite different from most that have posted here. I was certainly surprised, but not overwrought at all. Perhaps, as a fan of horror movies, I’m less likely to become emotionally attached to characters. After all, the death of beloved characters is a staple of horror fiction. On the other hand, the “water cooler talk” at work the following Monday was very much of the nature of “can you believe it!” and “what a twist!”, but I don’t recollect anyone being upset. Shocked, but not upset. It was good storytelling. If everyone has a “happily ever after”, the stakes are lowered and all sense of peril dissipates - at least when you’re talking about long form storytelling. The only thing I’ve seen/read that was able pull that off was The Lord of the Rings and it was (obviously) both exceptionally rare and, as long as it was, nowhere near as long as an eight season tv show. And even Tolkien killed Boromir.

Chris Thom

Did GOT end during Covid?

Rojeh D.

You are now a tried and true GoT fan, now that you have watched the "Red Wedding", so welcome to our fold! It is a pretty tough watch but think how good of a show this is to evoke such an emotion from you. We all knew this was going to be a hard watch for you, so your reaction is not embarrassing or unexpected. Keep heart and keep going. There will be a lot of peaks and valleys during this journey, but it is all worth it. To be honest, the show gave the viewers a huge clue of what might be coming in episode 7, when Lord Bolton, a close ally of Rob Stark, captures Jamie Lannister, the King Slayer, and Instead of handing him over to Rob, like he is supposed to, he releases him back to Kings Landing and back to the Lannister's. Why? Because he has made a secret pact with Tywin Lannister, in exchange for a Lordship in Winterfell and being the Warden of the North! I feel most viewers miss that dead giveaway that not all is well in paradise. Also, Rob Start did make some real poor choices during his campaign, least of which was breaking his oath to Lord Frey. He made a huge mistake with Theon Greyjoy, and his method of response to Theon's treachery, which cost the Starks their castle and Winterfell. He executed Lord Karstark, which cost him half his Army, as they abandoned him when their Lord died, and of course falling in love, and losing track of his original purpose. As his men who were marching and fighting for him, relied on him to lead and get them thru, but instead his refusal to marry the Frey girl, became a vulnerability that his enemies were more than happy to exploit, and it led to his doom and that of his wife, unborn child, his mission and men.

Cameron Nielsen

Oh Cassie, all of us that have seen the series knew this episode was going to destroy you. We have all cried our eyes out, it ok.

Sean Carroll

got ended in 2019 so just a few months/1 year before covid

Sean Carroll

attack on titan is a great feel good anime

Sean Carroll

i just finished rewatching the red wedding portion of her reaction and its hilarious

JRCortez

Hilarious? As in, laughing at her when she's crying???

RemDvm

I suggest taking a break from the show for a couple of weeks. All of us who watched it originally got a break. You should too. I think most of us would understand. The red wedding takes some processing time.

DAVID COSTELLO

I've seen the episode a dozen times to desensitize myself to it. I actually felt something watching this.

Inisius

How about no? People are paying to see GoT. Unless you would like to personally refund my money?

Clay F

You set an expectation that there will be "some justice." Spoiler. You completely eliminated the possibility for her that there will be no justice. You set an expectation. She herself personally requested no expectation spoilers.

James Damar

I just came in here to give you a big virtual hug Cassie, your love for the characters and deep connection is what make you a great reactor.

John Liebling

I think what I am going to do just for the fun of it....list all the plot points from season 4-8

Clay F

She's already watched the next episode (S3E10). Good point about the red wedding taking some processing time, but I don't know that dwelling on the red wedding is good for her. I think better for her personal feelings to move on immediately to start S4.

Clay F

You've already watched the next episode (S3E10) after the red wedding. Don't dwell on the red wedding. You moving on to start S4 next week will help.

Powers209

Wow, she made it. I thought the red wedding would break her but she's still holding it together. Kinda... Doesn't anyone want to warn her that things grow darkest in this show, just before everything turns completely black? Winter is still coming.

MrKsummer7

One important lesson you learn while watching GoT. Never get married to any character on this damn show. They never last very long. Hoping it’s Romulan Ale, I thought the only thing that might get Cassie through the Red Wedding would be her purple drink. Nope, I was wrong 😢 What is that beverage she’s always drinking?

Yeah Right

My sixth watch through so I know the series very well. Have always been concerned how Cassie would react to S03E09. The things about Cassie that make her so good at this would make her particularly vulnerable to that episode. I wouldn't ask Cassie to continue on if I thought it would do that to her again because she's right that wouldn't be healthy. She's a pro and she'll push through and I predict be happy she did.

Shawn Kildal

Yes. It's all sunshine and lollipops from here on out. I'm sure she'll love the ending too.

Shawn Kildal

"Season 3 might be my favorite" she says.

Paul Ark

There will be justice. Maybe not when you want it, or the way you want it. But it will come. Stay strong, Cassie. This was a brutal episode for everyone. For those who read the books years before the show came out and knew about the Red Wedding were impossibly, remarkably restrained about revealing ANY spoilers, and so many of those folks recorded their friends and family watching the ending knowing that people would be similarly shocked and devastated, crying and screaming. So many of those stealth reaction videos went viral on YouTube, birthing the whole reaction video industry. In a weird way, us patrons watching you react to the Red Wedding has made all of this come full circle. For now, this pain will feel like a horse kick to the head and totally sucks, but there is still so much awesome GoT ahead of you.

Clay F

It was her who decided to watch GoT. Where have you been?

Clay F

Yeah, she repeatedly say she loves the show.

Tyler Lathrop

Wow. We're only a day in as well

Milton Reduxed

@ Setrean. Unless you have a contract guaranteeing PiB will finish GoT in a specified time frame then the channel is under no obligation to post every week

Inisius

That's fine. And if that happens I will never sub again. But my comment was for the person trying to persuade her to take time off from watching it as if he has the right to basically say what we paid for is meaningless and shouldn't matter. He doesn't speak for me nor many others.

Adam Simoneau

I expect she'll take a week off from the show before resuming, as she did between Season 2 and Season 3.

Ignis Rændl

yeesh that was a hard one, Cassie. knew it was going to be. i hope the moderators are able to initiate some kind of support system for Cassie. you can see why the 'red wedding' helped start reaction content. even this dead inside genxr was left in a state of ptsd from season 3 episode 9. anyway. super dyer wolf hugs to Cassie.🐺

Vak

Others have already covered the Episode 9 reaction - so I won't go there, except to say that your reaction to it was sadly not a unique one. Sending a Virtual Hug (tm). Instead, moving on to Episode 10...one of your questions was why Stannis hadn't simply united his forces with Robb's in an alliance, particularly after he'd lost a good chunk of them in his failed first attack. The short answer is that he can't conceive of it - he almost defines inflexibility. Remember that even Renly, who was a friendly optimist, would only offer Catelyn an alliance if Robb's "King in the North" title was in name only. He STILL insisted that Robb bend the knee and pledge fealty, he just didn't care what he called himself. So, even HE was just pushing for the status quo, with Robb having exactly the same status as his father had, just with a fancier-sounding title. But Stannis is inflexible - if anybody calls themself a "king," even over only one of the Seven Kingdoms, they're his enemy, period. From his standpoint, the defeat of any such pretender is a good thing, as it's one less thing to worry about. The other thing this episode establishes about Stannis is that he's now absolutely, fully committed to whatever Melisandre tells him to do. He was willing to listen to Ser Davos instead at Blackwater Bay, but that slight bit of humanity seems to be gone now. With that said, I think the show has sold him short at this point, as he's been painted in a very harsh light so far just because of the circumstances around him. Staying spoiler-free, he's not an automaton - he has layers, just like the other prominent characters on the show. We just haven't seen many of them yet. I was surprised when I actually started to like the guy a little bit. So, hang in there.

Mike Lemon

??? Basic story structure that has existed for thousands of years is a "spoiler" now?

John Liebling

Is Bran a Corn Flake or Frosted Flake...That's Great!

ArsTropica

Given her level of investment in the show (and the need to deconstruct recent events), perhaps Cassie should start reacting to the "History and Lore" extras after each season.

Uncle Phoenix

I love how Interconnected the entire series is. How all the characters are connected and going through their own journeys. Unfortunately, all those things are connected to the Past and The Future. So, I’ll just say that I think that this is a Great Story.

JohnnyUtah

I know exactly what you're talking about, especially with s3

James M

Someone should have warned me that *I was gonna need a drink to watch the reaction. Not sure I'm going to keep following these reactions. The word unhealthy seems to be applicable.

Clarence Newman

Cassie is very good at rearranging sad moments in her mind so they are more palatable. In this case, she just needs to imagine the Red Wedding as a Monty Python sketch. "Your chest is full of arrows, Robb!" "No it isn't!" As for the most distressing part of the whole thing for Cassie, please remember - it's an actor poking an imaginary knife into a blood-bag laden, padded pillow, while the actress tries to adequately channel her Juillard School training so the director doesn't make her change her entire outfit and do the whole thing again. Therefore, no unborn babies were harmed in the making of this scene. (Although at least one pillow was seen leaving on a stretcher.) All is well, Cassie, and as for what comes next........oooooh!

Catherine LW

It’s not an uncommon thing for a high king to demand fealty from another king, so Stannis demanding that from Robb is customary.

Clarence Newman

Good point about the lack of jeopardy dulling the effects of a show, Bob. It's the reason I've never liked the Marvel movies. If you know the main characters either can't die or, if they do, will be brought back to life in the multiverse or in some other convoluted way, then where's the tension or need to grieve? GoT gives us wild swings from good to bad to great to devastating and you often come out feeling a bit punchy. That's great tv. Having said that, I'm kind of glad this episode didn't come at the end of September when Cassie was gearing up for Scary But Not Too Scary. October may have looked a lot different if it had.

MikeLL

She only took that week off between seasons 2 and 3 because it was during Not Too Scary month. No need for such a gap now.

Mike Lemon

@Setrean- And what about the people who have paid for years for not-Game-of-Thrones?

Clarence Newman

For those who need to see Cassie come out on the other side of the Red Wedding, check out her reaction to the arrival of Samwell at 1:23:25. Nothing ground-shaking, but that's the first time she perked up again after going through her 'numb' period.

Mytheos Holt

Congratulations, Cassie. You've lived through the scene that made reaction videos exist as a genre. The scene we were all waiting for you to see: the infamous Red Wedding.

Jay

She also cracked a smile before that, when Podrick showed up and the girls started giggling. It was nice to see.

My_Cousin_Mose

I don't wish to be insensitive but that was a top tier reaction. I can't say I cried along with you or anything but I do feel for you Cassie. You have absolutely no need to feel embarrassed. I didn't actually think you would but I'm glad you didn't call it quits when Jon got shot. That might be the angriest I've ever seen you.

Cole Jennett

I groaned audibly when she said that and said “Oh Cassie”😔

J.D. Montgomery

[54:36] "Why do all the good people die and all the bad people get to live?" Cassie has not listened... As our mystery torturer explicitly told us in S3E06: "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

J.D. Montgomery

I agree. And the best part of the lore videos is that they are tailored to each season to give one enough information to understand the context of what in the lore that season is referencing, but also to not spoil what comes in the next seasons.

J.D. Montgomery

Cole, I wouldn't be able to be in that room watching and kept a straight face if I heard them say that, having already seen the show and read the books.

ArsTropica

It's official, our Cassie is no longer a sweet summer child but is now a scion of winter.

Mytheos Holt

I'd tell whoever got her to start Game of Thrones they're a horrible sadist, but let's be real, we all are, knowing what a sweetheart she is and knowing how much this show runs against her preferred tropes. That said, I wouldn't have given a fig for Roose Bolton, Tywin Lannister, or Walder Frey's lives if she got them alone, judging by her expression when they were onscreen. Also, the disgusted "Oh, he's Bolton's son, of COURSE he is" when Ramsay was revealed was priceless.

Brent Petty

I can't lie, her angrily throwing wadded-up tissues at the screen was hilarious.

Brent Petty

She has "Cassie's Crying Towel" but I haven't seen it in a long time.

Brent Petty

It appears no bud has been nipped...

fargoboyle .

Good reaction to a brutal storyline - shock and disbelief with sadness. This is Game of Thrones, were not watching Downton Abbey here where Mrs Patmore mistaking salt for Sugar is as vicious as it gets. Strap yourselves in, Winter is coming, this one will be long, and dark things will come with it.

Cole Jennett

There were enough bad things in Downton Abbey to have her quit watching in Season 3.

Daniel Turbyfill

That was rough. I was actually pretty worried about how devastating it was going to be for Cassie since I knew what was coming.

Stan the Man

I agree 10 is a weak finale but that’s because this is the first time one book has been split into 2 seasons.

Chris Thom

"Miss, we found mud!" "WHERE?" "At the bottom of the lake." "GOOD. That's where mud goes." Everyone bows. lol

RJ Lundy

Yeah, May 19, 2019 was the last episode. Many reactors binged watched the series after the last episode.

kaiielle

"I'd tell whoever got her to start Game of Thrones they're a horrible sadist" Mytheos, you'd have to say that directly to Cassie then. Starting Game of Thrones was her decision.

Mytheos Holt

I don't know why you're getting defensive about that. Obviously Cassie made the decision, but I seriously doubt she just woke up one day and decided to start watching Game of Thrones. Someone, perhaps here or in her real life, must have suggested it to her. That person either didn't know Cassie at all or was doing it hoping to get content like this. Again, I'm not judging that person. I'm grateful to them for the content.

Clay F

I loved Downtown Abbey. I didn't know that she quit watching in S3.

Reneeboy

No i missed it 😭

John Liebling

LOL...He he...Oh my God, you've hurt my feelings, how shall I go on...Goddamn dude why are you such an insignificant snowflake.

Greg Freeman

hey.... i am so sorry Cassie.

JFC

During my original GoT watch-thru (when it aired), my favorite character to watch was Tyrion Lannister - He's given some of the best dialogue in the books and Peter Dinklage does a great job with that on the show. On my second full watch-thru, it was Lord Varys that I paid more attention to - Conleth Hill brings a lot of wit and gravitas to the performance and Varys & Tyrion are such a great duo. This time around, the stand-out for me is easily Ser Davos Seaworth - Liam Cunningham steals every scene he's in, and I can't wait to keep watching more of him, even though this'll be my third full watch-thru. Cassie, the lore stuff that's been mentioned, the little shorts that followed each season, are a great watch to flesh out the world, and entertaining in their own right.

Clay F

Robb: "All men should keep their word, kings most of all." Yep, in hindsight, Robb should have. He would be alive and likely have the support of Walder Frey's army. And Walder Frey did have that pretty and seemingly engaging daughter (yet young). Tough b/c Rob and Talisa had a beautiful thing. Another possible option was to break his oath and marry Talisa, as he did - but to never go to the Twins and give up notion of pursuing Frey support - Robb would likely still be alive. This is all moot, though. The red wedding massacre happened. I defer to the experts, but kings break oaths and get away with it, unlike the common man, if the king is smart, careful, and truly dominant? Yet, risky I guess.

John Liebling

Indeed, you have. And have had your entire life...Why is that?

JoshGrobansDryMouth

John Leibling - terminally online degenerate, known for incoherent rants on patreon comment sections. Will change the subject when he can’t think of a reply. What made you this way, Johnny boy?

kaiielle

I wasn't getting defensive. Your comment seemed to imply that one, or a small group of people, pushed her to get into this show. I was just making sure you understood that Cassie elected to watch it, likely after a chat with her husband. And to be fair, *many* people have suggested that she watch it for the channel, myself included. That doesn't mean that we are collectively responsible for her starting it. I recommended it because of its fantastic characters and storytelling. Cassie is one of many people that I have suggested it to.

Clay F

She said she always wanted to watch GoT, and decided to do so -- and that she might as well watch it with us on the channel. Seemed out of the blue to me. Unexpected.

John Liebling

You really don't know who I am, do you? And my last name is spelled Liebling, not Leibling. I remember you, ooh too well., You were the fat kid in high school who loved to bully the in coming 10th graders. And because my cousin worked at the same high school we attended, I know for a fact that you were bigger than everyone else, because you were held back your senior year. As I wrote, I know you very well...working in research at various governmental institutions, I know what your miserable life is like in 2025...There is so much specific details I could type here, at this moments, I because you're a bad dude, I don't about your feelings, but I do have empathy for your other family members, and it's for their sake, I am temporarily not typing what I could, having you in their accomplished family, is trauma enough. Have a nice day...NOT!

Chris Thom

Carly just started the journey and she's loving it apparently.

Cole Jennett

And well she should! It’s the best!

Shad Kanyak

Ah, the red wedding. Good times.

John Liebling

Hey Josh-y boy, of course I know that's not your real name. As I wrote I have your real name and your real history.

John Liebling

Are those pus n boots? Not much of a retort. One line. From an intellectually wanting mind.

JoshGrobansDryMouth

From your earlier comment: “There is so much specific details I could type here, at this moments, I because you’re a bad dude, I don’t about your feelings…” pretty impeccable grammar from someone who calls people “intellectually wanting” 😂

Ike

Ulf Jerlström

the Lanisters sends their regard! don't loose tour heart Valar morghulis All men must die rewatching the show made me realize how many times the castamere theme plays in the background foreshadowing :) to bad the show starts to derail from here and it sad that the show runers really only planned to make it to the red wedding and skippedmost of the storm of sword book which is one of the better books JUSTICE FOR Lady Stoneheart!

John Liebling

JoshGrobansDryMouth

“p-brain” 😂 this is quite a meltdown you’re having, Johnny. Please don’t hurt yourself.

trevor

Just wanted to say nothing embarrassing here. This was exactly how we all felt about 10 years ago. We were all waiting for you, and honestly worried for you, because we knew how it made us feel back then. I think, probably many of us wanted to tell you, but, we had to let you let there on your own and come back through on the other side. Just know, all of us have felt what you’re feeling and feel for you now.

Philip Alan

It's an expectation spoiler, btw. We're trying really hard not to lead Cassie on with comments about upcoming episodes. You should delete.

John Liebling

No melt down. Perhaps you are once again projecting. You did that a lot in high school. And according to a number of sources you've had that same issue at work. In fact, there is a lot of evidence that you've always demonstrated a lot of anger management issues. No melt down on my side. You have to care about the person or subject matter to react in such a way. I can assure you that I don't think about you at all. I just respond to whatever stuff you post. Intellectually speaking, your posts are not very lengthy. Understandable, your semi-illiteracy lingers from the days when you were required to spend five years in high school.

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm not sure I would describe Attack on Titan as feel good lol. But I'd love a reaction to it some day. And Frieren would be perfect for Cassie. I doubt we'll have the chance of seeing it though until after GoT is finished.

JoshGrobansDryMouth

“Intellectually speaking, your posts are not very lengthy.” Lmao, who told you that the more words you use, the smarter you are? 😂

JoshGrobansDryMouth

Also, since you’ve been responding to me for hours, I think it’s safe to say you’ve been thinking about me all night Johnny ☺️❤️☺️❤️

Mike M

I feel like a monster. I joined the Patreon to see Cassie react to the red wedding. I'm literally paying money to see a woman cry. I knew it was going to break her and yet I still became a Pateron member just so I could see it before it was uploaded to Youtube.

John Liebling

No, little man. I am not thinking about you at all. I just happen to be online at the end of the day, and check my email periodically, because I have a variety of important emails from work, and after responding to those emails, I notice you keep on sending me responses. As soon as you stop, I'll stop, because I promise you, I am not thinking about you at all. In regard to the high school and job you're currently working at, I don't need to write either, all that matters is that you know I have that information, and I have that information because of the careers I've enjoyed for a long time.

Robert da Spruce

Little late but I was dreading this episode No need to feel embarrassed Cassie. We all were blindsided by episode 9 I was hoping you would take a break between episodes. But kudos for sticking to it 😢😢😢

Astraeos

Well since we're saying so, I also laughed out loud when she said "why do they have to be so mean?" in reaction to one of the most brutal massacres in fiction lol. I think mean is understating it a bit Cassie! Great reaction. I laughed, I cried, and I'll definitely be watching it again sometime in the future

JoshGrobansDryMouth

Sounds like a veiled threat lol. And it’s also hilarious because based on your descriptions about what you supposedly know about me, I know you’re making it all up 😂

trevor

Honestly when she started the second episode I was like no don’t do it!

Chris

we all felt crushed after this episode. that silence at the end, just letting you stew in it... bastards

Lukas

I was thinking that. After finishing both eps, it was obvious to me that the best thing she did was watch episode 10 straight away after episode 9. Her mind could start to think on other things and see new information and more story beats to think about. Imagine if she stopped after episode 9? What happened would stay in her mind and take longer to leave. While it still probably hasn't left, at least she has more story and future things to think about.

GillyBean

Cassie is strong, she's just not afraid to show her emotions. i think there's an extra strength in being able to do that. she'll be ok

Clay F

Lukas -- we were definitely thinking the same. Agree good for her to watch episode 10 right away after episode 9 for the reasons you mention.

Clay F

She has repeatedly said she loves the show. Many fans were shaken by the red wedding episode.

SEAN ƴü KAY

To me, this doesn't feel like the darkest thing she has watched....still it is up there...but true detective, chernobyl dogs, even hachi...she can handle it...but is by no means is she outta the woods yet.....this episode is a major gut punch tho, reminds me of Jessie's gf in breaking bad...it was a moment, and in the age of binge watching, this episode is one of those episodes that stands out, and was something we all experienced at the same time on a random sunday night, together ...it was at least nice of the show runners to notice that if that was the series finale we all might have thrown things at the hbo offices cuz having a 12 - 16 month gap between these seasons or whatever it was, was brutal after certain seasons..let alone an ending that is like that..but.......(I'm thinking season 5 finale)...for those who know you know and no spoilers...but some season gaps while understandable cuz a show like this and this large and book based is difficult to make...the time gaps were brutal on us fans for sure...

A'rora Nightfall

Great reaction. This is what George R. R. Martin intended. In the world of GoT, Robb got what he deserved. He lost the war the minute he married that girl. This is not Earth, or anything like the world you and I live in. Once you understand that, you can appreciate the death. You can also appreciate that Arya was literally just outside the door. So close.

SEAN ƴü KAY

Lol...oh boy....ya...lollipops and sunshine 🤣 🤣 🤣

Arturo

If at any point after Jamie's escape he would have tell Lord Karstark to give him (Rob) command of his forces and unleash Lord Karstark and 100 of his men to hunt down and avenge his son killing Jamie if they find him. Rob would have kept his army, Bolton wouldn't have betray him and Frey wouldn't be brave or stupid enough to opose the Starks. Alternativly, killing the boys was a crime, and should be punished, but the sentence could have been stay (pause) until after the war, Lord Karstark would have help take Castely Rock form the Lanisters and would have welcome death if it came after every Lanister was dead.

SEAN ƴü KAY

I think we all have different lists of what we think she should watch...I do hope there isn't a long gap, but it is understandable if there is...It did kill a part of me watching this show in real time, having even a 1 week gap between episodes, let alone so many months between seasons...

Clarence Newman

I agree with Gilly on this, and Forrest Gump (particularly the grave scene at the end) is a good example of it. Cassie cries very easily, because she engages with the characters so much and doesn't know how to block her emotions. I really believe she feels that she owes them the tears after all they've given her. Then you look at Carly, and while her sister is crying her face off, there's barely a ripple of emotion. I've always found it amusing how much more easily Cassie cries because her feelings are hurt, but how much more blood and gore and horror and loss she can take compared to Carly. It's not even close. Everyone who's commented on this post is right - Cassie will be fine. She just needs a minute, that's all.

Clarence Newman

I agree that Robb made a fatal mistake - one that proved beyond doubt that he was way too young to lead the North. To fight for it, yes, but not to lead. In the tv show, he's just 20 years old at this point, and in the book he's three years younger. That is no age for a young man to lead an army, nor to resist the demands of his own soft heart. As for the brutality of the Red Wedding (and Cassie's scolding of the writers for being so mean), I'm reminded of something Stephen King said about his horror writing. “I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.” George R R Martin understands this process.

fargoboyle .

My sarcasm aside over the Salt/sugar catastrophe, I could understand the decision to walk away after season 3, season 4 onwards wasn't as good.

VillainHoor

Awww, Cassie! 🥹 even though I’ve seen the whole series an untold number of times, The Red Wedding still gets to me and your reaction did make me cry. I just want to give you a hug. It’ll be ok. 🫶🏻

Freja Corbinne

I think you're confusing emotion with weakness.

Freja Corbinne

I'm pretty sure this adult woman is capable of making decisions for herself like watching an emotional television show and doesn't need you looking to find people to blame for having some emotions over a television show

Clay F

Arturo - interesting points. I have been thinking that Rob could have at least kept Lord Karstark alive (e.g., in the dungeon).

Clarence Newman

Maybe, Mike, but it's also where the big bucks lie for reactors. Three months ago, Cassie was on 478k subs. Now she's on 492k and half a mil is in sight. The main reason for that? Folks who want to see this sweet lady react to the Red Wedding.....and to Ned's beheading.....and.....and....and.....and.... You seem like you have a good conscience (not true of everybody), so I'm happy to say this. If you're concerned that you're paying to see a woman cry, just remember that she's also the one getting paid. Fair exchange is no robbery.

Clay F

I like it when the number of patrons commenting is high.

Just Plain Bob

Ugh. I’ve agreed with Clarence far too often of late, which makes this admission regarding this post all the more painful: Well said.

Clarence Newman

Which reminds me….Cassie should cleanse her battered palate with World’s Fastest indian and Every Which Way But Loose.

Catherine LW

Too harsh in judging Robb. He and his family did NOT deserve to be murdered. But in real life, during the Middle Ages, a king or any aristocrat would not have brought his pregnant wife to the wedding under those circumstances. They were more wary of losing an heir, especially when the host has an axe to grind.

Alan Kobb

I kept seeing you loving so much that was going on. Robb and Talisa. Arya getting closer, and more, and I knew what was coming next, yet I continued to watch. I hate seeing you cry, Cassie. Please just remember that the early tears in so many movies that lead to great joy in the end, like Ellis and Andy meeting on the beach at the end of Shawshank, or Sam and Rosie's family in Return of the King, or Chuckie going to pick up Good Will Hunting only to find that he has gone to "see about a girl". I'm not saying that this will happen here. just that the rewards of watching are worth the pain along the way. It's kind of like raising a family, except that instead of cute baby pictures, you get pictures of that thing that Sam killed...

Gary Williams

Bless your heart. We all knew this episode would gut you. It gutted all of us as well. Nothing to be embarrassed about when you invest in characters and they are killed off all at once. Keep going

Brian

Cassie you wanted justice, I hope you realize that it was some Freys from the Red Wedding that Arya and Sandor killed in ep 10. A small morsel of justice, but justice still I'm sorry for your loss, you are a sweet summer child no more.

MamaKat114

You can call The Hound by his real name “Sandor”

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Several Marvel heroes have died and have not returned. Shows what you know. And returning from somewhere in the Multiverse doesn’t count - it’s not same person, other than superficial resemblance.

Mike Lemon

If only it was something more than, "Cassie is so much of a ... uh... cat that she will need therapy after watching this episode." (paraphrasing what seems like 80% of the comments)

Ed Vicenti

Between the episodes when the screen went black and said "Be right back"; Did anyone else audibly say, "Take all the time you need, Cass." like I did?

JoshGrobansDryMouth

Yeah lots of patronizing comments. She’s a grown ass adult and has said several times how much she loves the show lol

Conchfritters

Cassie - this is the appropriate response! Episode 9 gutted us all! I was team Stark from the jump, and this episode sank me!

Jon Caron

I've watched a lot of reactions to TV shows, movies, etc. over the years. Matter of fact it was this particular episode that got me into the reaction genre as a whole as GOT has consistently been my favorite TV show throughout the years. Out of all the hours I've spent watching people lose their mind over the Red Wedding, I've got to say Cassie's reaction was the most real, the most visceral, the most heartbroken. She perfectly encapsulates what all of us were feeling when we watched the episode for the first time. But damn....do I feel for you Cassie. I know how invested you were into these characters. Just keep pushing through because in the end it will pay off. *Hugs*

Richard Maurer

I think Cassie would really enjoy Frieren.

Andres Gaytan

Stay with us Cassie, you can do it!

Jack Urmson

🤗😢💔 We all knew this episode would be tough. As far as drama goes, GOT is a very tough pill to take at times. Season 4 however is one of the best of the series. 👍

JoJo

Its hard to binge Game of Thrones. Need recovery time.

Jason Dolan

Episode 9 is the hardest episode of television anyone will ever watch - and we commend you for the tears you shed

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm definitely excited for next week's intro. I doubt we'll be getting a happy game of thrones day dance though.

LukeG84

Finally found the time to watch these latest two episodes, and I must say, my interest in this show took a massive nose dive after they killed off Rob and Talisa like that. They were so in love and so good. Unforgivable! The showrunners didn't even have the decency to let us keep the Jon Snow and Ygritte love story. They shattered that into little pieces too! If it weren't for Cassie continuing to watch, and some other storylines that still give me a little hope for the good guys to win, I'd be done with this show for sure. Not happy. No rush with the next two episodes Cassie. I need a break.

Marcus Holmberg

Cassie dont worry, we all had this reaction to seeing the red wedding the first time

Fireteam Joker

Here's my two cents. The Red Wedding was in the books. 100% cannon. Whether we like it or not. What's one thing a show can do that instantly makes it hot garbage? The showrunner goes off script and invents things. This had to happen. It would completely change the whole show if Rob survived. I stopped watching the show for a few weeks after this aired. But in the end this is how George wanted the story to go.

Andrew Nyberg

"Shes going to see here mom! I cannot wait for that moment!" Oh, thats cute...

Chris B.

“I love the Starks but this show hates the Starks”. Sadly that’s kind of a carryover from the books and the author’s own myopic attitude. GRR Martin is able to create a really fantastic world for stories to live within, but he’s also overtly cynical of the sorts of humanity and heroism which is present within a story like Lord of the Rings, elevating it in ways that A Song Of Ice and Fire sadly could never achieve (even if it were to ever be finished).

Kawaii Leonard

I disagree. The show and the book are totally different. However, since you referenced GRRM, hence the book series, I strongly disagree. The book series is dark in tone but noble and romantic in its themes. Ned's legacy of a Dream of Spring will always triumph over Tywin's A Feast for Crows. Also, LOTR's world is more pessimistic than ASIOAF. The golden age of the Elves of the 1st age is slowly withered away into the grim human 3rd age. Everything is decaying and once great civilizations of the Numenorians reduced to petty squabbling kingdoms.

Richard Maurer

Except Return of the King happens, and ends Sauron and brings a new age of peace with Aragorn’s rule.

Richard Maurer

Anyway, as Martin himself acknowledged, GoT is much closer to Micheal Moorcock’s Elric of Melniborne’ Saga than LotR.

Jason Dolan

I wouldn't be mad if Cassie took a monthlong break

gexzor

Season 4 is by many considered peak GoT. You have great things coming your way still! 😘

Richard Maurer

Good to see you back Clarence, how’s everything going?

Clarence Newman

I've got my head around it now, so I'm taking the time to sit back and chill. Frankly (and I'm choosing to see this an upside), it's the biggest mixed blessing I've ever known. Leading up to the final decisions, I had two worries keeping me awake. One, "I might be out of a job by the end of the week", followed, literally 10 seconds later, by, "Shit, I might still be doing this job after this week." Truth is, I've hated the job. I'm a logistics guy, not a salesman, and two years ago, when the MD of our two-man band retired, I kind of got sold as part of the deal to our biggest supplier. They're a corporation, so for the first few months, I was walking around like Denholm Elliott in The Last Crusade - "Does anyone here speak English?" I just can't stand that kind of mentality. I've still managed to do the job well, and as of the end of this year, I've given them back their full million pound investment in pure profit. The MD never liked my wage and I'm certain he's taken the opportunity to get rid of it. Plus which, I talk back to him in meetings and that's something no one else ever does. I've worked out our finances, and because we had a bit of savings behind us, me and Wifey have a financial runway of eight to ten months. I'll need to get another job, but for now, I'm taking the time to sit back and bask in the fact that I don't have to deal with the stress anymore. Appreciate you checking in. Onward and upward.

Richard Maurer

Glad to hear you’re taking it in stride. I too know the mixed feeling of losing a job you hate. The worry about your future is sometimes outweighed by the feeling of “so happy I’m never going to have to set foot in that soul-crushing place again!”.

Clarence Newman

I know nothing, Jon Snow. They lost me at Ant Man and Wasp.

Clarence Newman

That's just about the perfect wording for how I feel.

Richard Maurer

Besides Star Wars and LotR, there were many Saving Private Ryan, Shawshank Redemption, and Green Mile reactions early on.

1mountainmondo

I have been waiting for the reaction to The Rains Of Castamere

Clay F

Looking forward to your full reaction to GoT S4:E1-E2 this week.

Anthony Perez

Cassie...I was also upset by the wedding massacre. I had just been thinking that Rob Starks wife was so naturally beautiful ( as is Shae and Rob Starks mother) only to have the brutal killing at wedding. I was even more sorry to see you so upset. But remember in "TRUE DETECTIVES" when Marty comments on the darkness of the world, but a changed Rust offers a rare moment of optimism, stating: "Once there was only dark. If you ask me, the light's winning". Cassie, please keep reacting to GOT...we need people like you to be the light bearers in these dark times.

Tyler Blackburn

I subbed to watch this earlier than the YouTube edit. Oh god, here we go.

Stephen Patrick

Haha dude same! I literally rejoined the no ads hbo just to see her lose her shit on this episode. Totally worth it, I knew she would be wrecked. She didn’t even notice the energy shift when the doors closed. That’s when I knew she had absolutely no idea when homeboy unsheathed the knife. I was actually disappointed when she “be right backed” us lol I was like I want aaaalll the pain 😂

JD

1:02:05 "I have to get some more Kleenex." (Comes back with a fat roll of toilet paper) 😄

JD

You do realize that just having the heroes win is the safer & much easier choice, right?

John Rando

I’ve never seen so many comments on a Patreon video. Just know we feel you Cassie. Can you believe this became the most pirated television show ever and most popular series HBO ever made after this season? I remember seeing this episode and having to lay down after, credits rolling with no music, just silence… staring at the ceiling, re-evaluating everything lol Now everyone understands why many of us were reluctant to Cassie watching this show in the beginning. Also, it’s crazy Season 3 is only the first half of Book 3. A Storm of Swords must be pretty amazing.

Sahitya

I'm very late to comment lol, but Cassie, just know that there is no right way to react to this, some people just shrugged it off cuz they may have saw it coming, some people were balling on the floor unable to reconcile what happened for weeks. There is no correct way to react to this and its all valid. Now imagine simmering nin your hatred for what happened for a year until the next season...

Tyler Lathrop

I'm going through GOT withdrawl! Please come back Cassie

Valentine Puppy

We told you about this series. We said you were not ready. But, there is more to come. So, Steel yourself.

Sean Carroll

You should have seen some of the studio gek game of thrones Patreon comments. Some of them reached 1000 comments, it was an epic time

Kristoffer

"If you think... This story has a happy ending... You haven't been paying attention" - Ramsay Bolton

Mason Meskell

This show is the most abusive relationship you will ever have with TV. The show you will keep coming back to...no matter how much it hurts you...because after it rips your heart out...it gives you something you want...then hurts you again...then gives you something you want again!

Shatner’s Cigarette

I'm halfway through watching The Rains of Castamere and Cassie just said, "I usually love a wedding in a TV episode or movie." as she think's the wedding day for Edmure is so sweet even though it's an arranged marriage. She's also so happy right now hearing Bran say he saw Jon. I read the novel before GoT S1 so I knew what was going to happen when the episode aired. I don't know if I can handle seeing Cassie get her heart brutally crushed in the next 15 minutes or so. This will be the fifth time I've seen the Red Wedding over the years and for the first time ever I'm dreading it - like I have to tell a family member someone(s) they love is dead. I am so sorry, Cassie! 🥺
