GAME OF THRONES 3x1 & 3x2 | FULL UNEDITED WATCHALONG (Patreon)

MEMBER EXCUSIVE | FULL UNEDITED WATCHALONG

The board is reset, new players enter the game, and the War of the Five Kings gets complicated. In this reaction, Kristian Harloff (not his first time) and Sam (first time watch!) dive into GAME OF THRONES Season 3 Episodes 1 & 2, breaking down the introduction of the King Beyond the Wall, the arrival of the Queen of Thorns, and the beginning of Daenerys Targaryen’s true rise to power. From the introduction of the Unsullied to the politicking in King’s Landing, we react in real time and then give our full thoughts at the end.

We talk game of thrones, how it connects to house of the dragon, and why this season opener sets the stage for the show's best run. From Daenerys Targaryen negotiating for an army of eunuch soldiers in Astapor, to Jon Snow meeting Mance Rayder and seeing his first Giant, the world is getting bigger. We break down the crucial introduction of Olenna Tyrell and her masterclass in manipulation with Sansa Stark, as well as the heartbreaking confession from Catelyn Stark about her guilt over Jon Snow—a moment that adds massive depth to the R+L=J theory. We also touch on lore, theories, and book connections including fire & blood, a game of thrones theories, a song of ice and fire theories, history house targaryen, robert’s rebellion, the tower of joy, howland reed, meera and jojen reed, and asoiaf explained.

Plus, we get into the magic and the mystery—bran stark meeting the Reeds, the concept of wargs and skinchangers, the three-eyed raven, and the first appearance of the Brotherhood Without Banners. We discuss the dynamic between Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth as they duel on the bridge, the torture of Theon Greyjoy, and how the political landscape in King's Landing is shifting away from Cersei. If you love deep dives, edits, and lore—this one’s for you.
