Fun Fact: Ed Sheeran was Maisie Williams' favorite singer at the time, and nobody told her he was going to be in the episode- So that look on her face when she first sees him is her finding out that she's who doing the scene with.
Now that Daenerys is in Dragonstone, I too wondered what her next move would be. Strategically this is what I thought; One, she blockades off the Narrow Sea with her navy and dragons, thus stopping import/export trade between Westeros and Essos and guaranteeing her logistic supply lines from the Bay of Dragons. Two, she pays off local pirates like Sallador Saan to only target Westerosi merchant ships, something that was done in real life and where the term privateer comes from. Third, she rallies and meets with her local allies. She could land in Dorne and summon the Dornish army, then travel north and meet with the Tyrell army and besiege Kings Landing on land and sea with the help of the navy. The Dothraki and dragons could stop any reinforcement army from ever reaching them. Just like King Robert said ''Only a fool would meet the Dothraki in an open field''.
I was happy Arya spared Kitty Frey, not just for Kitty's sake, but for Arya's sake too. It shows that Arya hasn't been consumed by revenge. She's killing precisely, and justly, sparing the innocent. Also got to say how good David Bradley was in that scene, (they all were) - he made me believe he was really Arya!
they took away everything that made Arya an interesting and flawed character tho. She just becomes a one dimensional, b-movie ninja hero who smirks and accomplishes things with no effort.
@@prico3358 Her name is Kitty Frey, as per the HBO website. And your last statement is incorrect because I care, and unlike Arya, I am not yet no one. 🙂🙂
@@starsimvidz I'll politely disagree. She's not just a one dimensional killing machine, as shown by the fact that she spares Kitty Frey. And there are later scenes, but I can't mention those here because Emmy's not there yet.
I agree! That's when I knew for sure that it was Arya, when she spared the girls life (I know it was also partly so she could say her badass line to someone haha) and it showed she still has her humanity about her which is important to see
Tommem betrayed cercei by siding with margery and the high sceptum, and taking away trial by combat, basically condeming her, right after his wife was already safe. F tommen.
Jon has the only claim of the throne being the actual heir to the throne being the last legitimate heir to the throne being the son of the king. Danny being the aunty of the family doesn't have a legitimate claim since she isn't the heir of the former king.
Daenerys is the daughter of the former King, and thus a potential legitimate heir. I'm not sure what inheritance laws apply to Westeros at this point - in earlier times they seem to have followed the French custom of eliminating female claimants. But if you're following the English customs from Tudor times onwards, then yes, Daenerys would have a legitimate claim after Viserys. English custom from Tudor times onwards until recently would eliminate any illegitimate children, and give the throne to Rhaegar's descendants. If there were none, then it would fall to Viserys, then since he had no children, then Daenerys is next. Westeros seems to let boys take priority, hence Tommen became King even though Myrcella is clearly older. (UK law was the same until only a few years ago.) So the order would be Rhaegar, Jon if he were legitimate, Viserys, then Daenerys. Rhaegar and Viserys are dead, so if Jon is deemed legitimate, he is the heir. If not, then under English law, Daenerys is - under French law, she would be excluded.
So, Cersei felt betrayed because Tommen got rid of Trial by Combat which then called for her to have a trial which she didn’t go along with. I don’t think she considered Tommen’s suicide to be the betrayal.
Tbh half of the people who see that scene think that "Ned" slept with his sister. So you are better off. And most people who got the scene already knew the "R+L=J" theory due to fandom conversation between seasons.
The giants you saw aren't white walkers. They're just wights (yes spelled like that). They're just zombies in the army of the dead. The white walkers are lieutenants for the night king who's the top guy running everything.
It was Tommen's whole alliance with the high sparrow. Not only did he not take revenge for the suffering of his mother but he became "friends" with the high sparrow and antagonised his own mother.
She could have forgiven him for that if she'd gotten him back. He betrayed her by depriving her of her legacy when he jumped out the window, and he did it because he couldn't live without Margaery.
Hi Emmy - loving your GofT reactions with this episode featuring Bella Ramsey at the beginning as Lyanna Mormont. If you’re thinking of a show to do after GofT you should look at The Last of Us starring Bella and Pedro Pascal. It’s only 9 episodes but a fantastic series.
Pretty sure she's already seen it as she mentioned in a previous episode reaction video knowing the actress from that series when the character first appeared.
Yes, it's useful for Arya to have this skill but just where did we see her learning it? We barely saw her learning to sword fight, let alone practice the complicated magics that are involved in not just changing a face but changing a voice and a body shape too. Arya in Braavos was the most botched story line of them all.
@@gallo162 lol I can see that point, too. It's a weird way to write him in for sure. I heard they did it because Maisie was a fan and it was a birthday surprise for her or something like that, but idk for sure.

gives me literal chills every single time 🥶
Such a good line!!

21:04 The producers knew he was Maisie William's favorite singer and made him appear on the set as a surprise for her birthday.

fun fact, ed sheeran also played in several episodes of The Bastard Executioner, he tortured people lol he also sings the theme song
You should react to the video: L+R=J scenes is such a good video.
Absolutely! You get to see all the little clues and Easter eggs they dropped along the way.

Ive watch game of thrones everyday since it aired. Never have she been calles kitty frey. No one gives a fuuck.
they took away everything that made Arya an interesting and flawed character tho. She just becomes a one dimensional, b-movie ninja hero who smirks and accomplishes things with no effort.

The hound said to arya that those people would be dead come winter. Thats why he stole the silver, because they didnt had a chance anyways.
Tommem betrayed cercei by siding with margery and the high sceptum, and taking away trial by combat, basically condeming her, right after his wife was already safe. F tommen.
Jon has the only claim of the throne being the actual heir to the throne being the last legitimate heir to the throne being the son of the king. Danny being the aunty of the family doesn't have a legitimate claim since she isn't the heir of the former king.
wasn’t viserys named heir after Rhaegar died? and wasn’t Dany viserys’ heir? i could be mistaken. also isn’t Jon still a bastard either way?
Daenerys is the daughter of the former King, and thus a potential legitimate heir. I'm not sure what inheritance laws apply to Westeros at this point - in earlier times they seem to have followed the French custom of eliminating female claimants.

So Arya walked around as Walder Frey for a fortnight. Let that sink in. No amount of revenge would make me do that.
Omg I didn't think of how long she would have to do that, thats crazy!
The giants you saw aren't white walkers. They're just wights (yes spelled like that). They're just zombies in the army of the dead. The white walkers are lieutenants for the night king who's the top guy running everything.
I think the "betrayal" Cersei is referring to is when Tommen outlawed trial by combat.
It was Tommen's whole alliance with the high sparrow. Not only did he not take revenge for the suffering of his mother but he became "friends" with the high sparrow and antagonised his own mother.
Winter came for House Frey!
Tommen betrayed her by eliminating trial by combat.
She could have forgiven him for that if she'd gotten him back. He betrayed her by depriving her of her legacy when he jumped out the window, and he did it because he couldn't live without Margaery.
@@AstroXeno she wanted to be Queen. Sne didn't care about her legacy at that point.

I loved the Last of Us! I definitely want to react to season 2 when it comes out next year 😊
Ariya is a huge Ed Sheeran fan, so they included him for her
It was a birthday present, I believe
gay af
In my opinion, it wasn’t a good idea. When you have such a fantastic show like this, you don’t add singers to the show. You add real actors.
@brandonmikolajczak3628 ffs, shows and movies have included artists from various spectrums of the industry for ever.
@@znk0r it’s a hardcore medieval story. A pop artist from today’s era really just throws me off and gives me a negative vibe. I guess I’m the only one
Ed sheeran becomes a maim character , takes down the army of the dead and all. I promise.
lol

Sansa referencing Joffrey for no reason…the writing continues its downward spiral
Watch l+R =J scenes
Ed Sheeran?
pure cringe.
the 2 the hound buried were the ones who fed them and offered 'fair work for fair pay'. hound robbed them and left.
I don't blame him. I'd have been on GOT too had they asked me.
@@jasonrd316 yeah im not rippin him for it. i cringe when i think about the casting crew getting all giddy, thinking its a good idea. its plastic af.
@@gallo162 lol I can see that point, too. It's a weird way to write him in for sure. I heard they did it because Maisie was a fan and it was a birthday surprise for her or something like that, but idk for sure.
@@jasonrd316 oh right. still gay af!
