Ashley, you are a bloody legend. To have immediately connected Jon's connection with Ghost to the ability to 'hide' himself there while his body is dead, is a leap not even all book readers make (where it's far more obvious). I am so freakin' proud of you.
The enchanted ruby in her necklace glowed when she drank the poison. In the books, it allowed her to summon, focus and store power from the Lord of Light (or it's just the "higher arts" rather than divine). In Season 2, Quaithe warned Jorah that the lords of Qarth wanted the dragons. Her mask, her dress and her jewelry all had the same hexagonal design.
14:31 That’s the prevailing theory of what happens to Jon when he dies in the books (his last word is ghost 😭) but the show didn’t decide to do that, for whatever reason.
well the book of jon ends with him sayin ghost as he dies we know he enters ghost rob didnt cos he was not close to the wolf later in war sadly too sad lady stoneheart was not in this in anyform it woulda been so damn great!! but if so brienne n pod woulda been killed by her n not lived as in book...
On that question of John's spirit going into his wolf, you might have been thinking of when John asked the wildling warg if his soul would jump to his bird and fly away or if he'd just fade away when they were in a scuffle.
It's funny because that was the most theorized thing after season 5 ended, and after ADOD came out, that Jon would Warg into Ghost to save himself. They shy away from it in the show, but in the books all of the Stark kids have a level of warging ability.
Stefani, you did state earlier that in the books, they worg into their wolves so technically in the books that Robb died twice. This is what Ashley was referencing at the post reaction.
Her theory of Jon beign inside Ghost is a book theory, and very plausible. Because in the books all the stark kids are wargs like Bran, including jon. In fact, thats problably what really happened.
there are actually a couple scenes where the red woman has the necklace off.....specifically, in her bath when Selyse walked in on her....that was potentially an accidental over sight
Melisandre is over 400 years old, give or take. That means she was born long before the events of House of the Dragon. Melisandre was born in the legendary eastern city of Ashai, also known as Ashai by the Shadow, which is the furthest eastern city of Essos and the furthest city we as readers (and viewers) have any information on. It's a city shrowded in mystery and secrecy. Ashai is permanently covered in darkness due to the Great Mountains of the Morne that loom over it's borders and beyond Ashai lies the Shadow Lands that stretch on endlessly in a chain of jagged mountains and valleys so high and steep that they are virtually impenetrable. The Shadow Lands are also where Daenerys dragon eggs come from according to Magister Illyrio (A close friend of Varys, and the man who gifted Daenerys the dragon eggs during her wedding ceremony to Khal Drogo in Season 1 Episode 1 and the one who arranged the marriage between Daenerys and Khal Drogo in the first place). South of Ashai lies the Southeastern Continent of Ulthos, where all the maps stop and of which we have virtually no information on. This is very, very far away from Slaver's Bay, Meereen, Bravos, Qaarth and the Dothraki Sea and so far from Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms it might as well be on another planet, a sea voyage from Westeros to Ashai roughly taking several years of non stop sailing depending on where you set sail from. The city of Ashai and all it's monuments are made entirely of a strange, smooth black stone that almost seems to absorb light and people in Ashai walk around the streets covered in masks and veils to cover their faces, although the streets are almost always empty. Ashai is seemingly devoid of children for unknown reasons and the city is "shady" in all senses of the word and is home to many different temples but all of them worship the God known as R'hllor, also known as the Lord of Light in Westeros. It's also the birthplace of the myth of Azor Ahai and The Prince Who Was Promised (who Melisandre falsely believed was Stannis reborn). Ashai is also the birthplace of an ancient and extremely rare artform known as "shadowbinding" which is what we saw Melisandre perform in Season 2 with the "shadow demon baby". Shadowbinding essentially works by "binding" literal shadows to your will and turning them into anthropomorphous beings that are capable of physically manifesting for short periods of time. North of Ashai lies the ruined corpse city of Stygai, where only the bravest (or dumbest) of people and the fearesome shadowbinders dare go upriver to enter it's primordial gates, as the decrepit necropolis is said to be cursed and infested with demons and other monstrosities. It is said that Stygai is the ruined capital city of an ancient civilization known as the Great Empire of the Dawn, which is allegedly the first empire of the world and it is said that they too had dragons. Some claim dragons come from the Shadow Lands and not from Old Valyria and that the people of Old Valyria once were part of the Golden Empire of the Dawn before it's destruction and they then relocated to the Valyrian Peninsula, far away from the haunted Shadow Lands. Yet as fate would have it, the Valyrians too suffered a similar fate and their empire collapsed into oblivion, leaving only the Targaryens as the sole surviving Dragonlords. But the ancient magic and history surrounding Ashai and it's sister capital Stygai remain shrowded in mystery and legend.
38:20 Oh Stef, the baby talk caught me off guard XD. I don't know how you get through a full episode w/o having to stop from laughing at these two and their shenanigans.
Melissandre was born a slave girl by the name of Melony and sold to the Red Temple to become a priestess. Then she was brought to Asshai for instruction as she excelled in the gift of seeing in the flames. According to some, she might have lived for 400 years, doesnt need to eat or sleep as the heat from the Lord of Light keeps her alive. She also felt her powers were stronger when close to the wall.
Lindsay, I must say your locks are looking extra fabulous. Goodness girl don't use the whole bottle of Rogaine at once. --------- We need to keep this amazing look for a long long time. ------- None the less, you look so radiant. Love it.
They spend the first 5 seasons of the show just hammering on the Starks and now season 6 they finally get to rise. This is definitely my favorite season.
Marcella's death is not Cersei's fault. Tywin ordered the murder of Ellia and her children. Tyrion sent Marcella to Dorne. Olena killed Joffrey and inadvertently framed Tyrion. Oberyn got sloppy and killed by the Mountain. Yes, you reap what you sow and Cersei has done horrible things. But none of the events that led to Marcella's death were Cersei's fault.
Yeah its very interesting that a lot people hate Cersei so much that they failed to realize some of the events that happened wasn’t on her, I can hate her as a villain but i can’t hate her for being a woman and a mother in this world cause Cersei is a lot of things but one thing for sure is how much she genuinely loves her children despite not being a good person and being a product of her environment which makes her a compelling character, it’s so sad that everyone can say she’s a horrible mother but she never had the right tools nor guidance to be one and at least she tried better than disgusting Robert ever did and her evil ass father who never cared about any of his children but saw them as pawns in his games but also failed them 1 by 1 tremendously which is why all of them can never make the best decisions and is messed up as a family! Cersei also never had a mother and maybe she would’ve been shaped better if she was alive but we will never know because she didn’t have that but the way she genuinely talked about her only daughter was heartbreaking because she never tried to mold myrcella into something she’s not or flat out cruel which is why she loved her all the more of how sweet and good she was which probably made Cersei feel like crap about herself because she was aware of a monster she is which makes it so intriguing but damn sad even when she was talking about all 3 of her children was also so good because she knows them better than anyone else, she may not be the best mother but she tried and overall her whole arc was to protect her family even tho she made the wrong decisions and was too greedy for power but still her goal was to save them from their deathly fates but i think she fully accepted there’s nothing she can do anymore the day she lost myrcella when she was vulnerable to Jamie, anyways I think Cersei is a great villain but a lot people are so blinded by their hatred for her that it’s hard to see some of her point of view or sympathize with her which I can understand… all I can say is no mother deserves to lose a child let alone all of them even tho Joffrey had to go but i can’t imagine how genuinely horrifying to watch your own child die like that jeez 💀😬and she didn’t deserve the atonement that just wanted to punish her for being a woman even tho she gave the faith an army but still that was hard to watch and Margery was poking the bear , she didn’t deserve to get graped by her own twin brother by their dead child who she literally begged him no but he didn’t care anyways, she didn’t deserve to be sold off to a man who would abuse her and get drunk every night who never loved her let alone was no better than the mad king who did nothing but drink and whore away all the time instead of ruling , she didn’t deserve a cruel father who always pushed her aside for not being a boy but yet loved using her every chance he got to benefit his “legacy” but never helped her to rule better or be more smart when it comes to her own decisions! And he was her main influence for hatred to despise her brother Tyrion , Cersei is terrible we all know that but i think some of the stuff that happened that led to the events so far wasn’t on her and hell people wonder why she was always drinking a lot cause shit I would too if I was in her shoes trying to survive in a harsh man’s world at that time like nope🥲😅😭💀 the way she was so happy to hear myrcella was coming and she hasn’t even seen her over year that was low💔🥲😞 the sands ain’t shit for killing myrcella who did not deserve that at all…😒💔
@@tieonariley22well the fact the show changed a bunch of things to make it not Cersei fault for a lot of things. Hell cersei is the one that ordered Robert bastards killed they switched that to Joffrey
@@Cream-2128 yeah I know but I get show Cersei tho but some people hate shows version Cersei that I don think they would’ve handle book Cersei who is absolutely insane but fun to read lol!
@@tieonariley22Cersei also encouraged Joffrey behavior. Nothing tragic about her character she’s been evil since a child. Tywin wasn’t the reason Cersei hated Tyrion she literally did that on her own. She literally neglected all the kids besides Joffrey.
@@Cream-2128 hey we all have our views on Cersei but at the end of the day I can never hate her for being a woman and a mother in that time Periodt , Tywin was her only heavily influence since she always wanted to be like him or at least wanted to be acknowledged by him but of course he was terrible and evil , theirs literally no guidance nor book on how to be a good parent but of course Cersei is a product of her environment and of course she enabled her son behavior but regardless it wouldn’t of mattered because boys were taught to be above girls let alone their own mothers due to the standards and westeriose system that made for men and he was psycho with no father figure either since Robert was never around let alone a good person/father, yes she’s evil and it was stupid that she couldn’t see her hatred for Tyrion blinded her but she did genuinely believe it was him because he sent her only daughter away and he threatened her about her joy will end soon , don’t get me wrong Cersei was her own down fall but some of the stuff that’s happened wasn’t on her but the men around her and the sands was salty that obryn died on his own choice so they took it out on her innocent daughter who nothing to do with tywins decision to kill princess Ellia and children, Cersei’l didn’t deserve a lot of things to her but I get everyone on how they feel about her as a villain but she has some moments that are so complex and sad that it’s hard to not hate her in those moments…
I love Lindsay not giving a F bringing up politics. A lot of reactors avoid that kind of thing to avoid turning off viewers with different opinions, and while I have been loving rewatching GoT each week (it's just as painful of a wait as it was originally) with you all as a sort of escapism, what I like most in react channels is a feeling of authenticity, and if you're not constantly thinking about current politics I just can't take you seriously. I hope y'all continue on after this with some more long running series (and hopefully do more than one episode a week!)
@45:03: I was exactly just like Lindsay, laughing my head off at the idea of all these men salivating at Melisandre and wanting to sleep with her… she gave many hints about her age throughout the story but guys were to busy fancying her to listen…
If you warg into an animal, and your body is killed while you are away, the theory is you would be stuck in your animal. It is insinuated (maybe more clearly in the books) that a warg could escape death by doing this, but would eventually lose memory of being a human. Curious as to what would happen if eventually someone else watches into that same animal - would they share any memories....
Maybe for Season 7 drink you could make a wildfire themed drink though it'll probably be very obvious and not really season 7 themed technically. Or maybe a Fire & Blood drink, maybe something with cinnamon or honey whisky and raspberries?
Try a White Walker: three fingers or so of Godiva white chocolate liqueur over ice, fill the rest of the glass with vanilla cream soda. Once the soda forms a head, drizzle a tablespoon of blue Curacao on top. The blue should filter down thru the soda foam and leave lovely blue streaks in the white.
It was actually her mother’s ring - her only possession from her (never explained on the show). She sacrificed it because she wanted to be tracked and found.
The Red Woman becomes the Grey Woman. Linsay: "I don't like coconut" / tastes the alcohol "It's getting better" / Finds out the recipe is from Discord fans: "MMmmm"
Fun detail, a while back The Red Woman was in a bath talking to Stannis’ wife if you remember, she didn’t have the necklace on and it’s the only time she doesn’t before this episode. Wonder if that was an accident or what lol
Turn up that brightness lol . I was over here trying to guess the name of the drink. Why did I think of THE DOOR. I made up my own drink after suggesting Pyg Shyte to you last season. Lol Midori liquor Malibu rum Pineapple juice It's 💚!
CPR.....lol I think if someone were to give him CPR, nothing would happen, BECAUSE, the moment someone breathes in, all the air would escape through all of those holes......some of those HAD to have punctured the lungs
My list Love (main characters): 1. Arya 2. Tyrion 3. Daenerys Love (side characters): 1. Olenna Tyrell 2. Tywin Lannister 3. Ygritte (+another character who has not been introduced yet.) Hate: 1. Petyr Baelish 2. Ramsey Bolton 3. Melisandre/ Walder Frey (tied for 3rd.) Lindsay's reaction to the Red Woman reveal was priceless. 😂
Lmao. The laughing at the Red Witch is hilarious. It was unexpected to me. The reactions from the male reactors are always disgust. The laughing was different and funny. I love your reactions. Keep it up.
lindsay’s laughter at the end, HAAAAA “mhysa means mother in valyrian” 🤢 NO IT EFFING DOESN’T. (if you remember from the end of season 3, missandei says “it’s old ghiscari, your grace. it means ‘mother’” - danaerys would’ve understood were it valyrian) and dorne…i don’t even want to talk about dorne! kudos to ashley and lindsay both for picking up on some of the book theories on jon! - the ice cells preserving his body AND him warging ghost at his death! clap clap clap
13:28 lmfao!! Basically saying "enough small talk, quiet now peasants" I lowkey love tho how the chick in the left corner is always so intense and hyped even though she's already seen it. That is essentially me everytime I watch GoT with someone new and have to control myself not to tell them to stfu and pay attention.
The truth is, Brienne of Tar's oaths are especially profound and this last one... gave us all goosebumps. Ashai's Meliassandre is about 200 years old, she if you wanted could have appeared in HOD. And with Cercei, what to say about Cercei? Now she is going to need my support more than ever, The High Sparrow has more power.. 💚❄&🔥´♬
They probably didn't like the cocktail because it's *not finished yet* The writing process for Winds of Winter turns 15 next year. By this time next year it will be old enough to start taking driving lessons in the US.
It's always funny how none of the main characters wear helmets into battles....Brienne, Stannis, Robb, Jamie, The Hound, etc.....they have been doing that nonsense forever so you can see the actors/actresses faces....like viewers could not tell who they were by having distinctive helmets and seeing their faces for 6 seasons. So silly. I only recall Tywin wearing one briefly and Loras as well at Blackwater, plus Tyrion briefly wearing a helmet at Blackwater, then took it off to get slashed in the face properly. ------****----SPOILERS---****-------- Then of course later on: Jamie, Arya, Jon, Berric, Thoros, Davos, Jorah, Daario, Grey Worm, Euron, Theon, Yara, etc etc etc Probably the dumbest though, was not designing a real combat outfit for Dany, with Targaryen sigils on a cool suit of armor and a helmet for when she rides Drogon into battle...plus a cool combat saddle....Instead, she wears silly long dresses and desperately hangs on to a couple of back spikes....like she could hang on to those for 30 minutes of combat.
When Ramsay ordered that girl to be fed to the hounds, that's when I knew he was the most dastardly character in this whole story. For him, the thrill of the hunt isn't power like almost everyone else. #BrienneTheOathkeeper
Selyse Baratheon saw Melisadre without the necklace which suggests that she saw her true form. Selyse is a true believer which is why she accepted Stannis sleeping with that hag.
36:50 bruised fingernails - never noticed that before. Fun fact: Noah (Locke) broke Nikolaj's (Jaime) ribs during that fight in the mud after he lost his hand. I realised Carice (Melissandre) is really cool after watching her podcast Let's Get Lyrical.
Not correct at all. Nikolaj's ribs (plural) were not broken. One was bruised, that is all. nikolaj coster waldau interview: "There's a scene with Locke, and Noah Taylor plays all of this beautifully he had to kick me. And I had this protective thing on, but he just missed it, and so he got the rib instead. I had a bruised rib for a while. I'm pretty sure that is the take they used, because there is a realism to my reaction that you can't fake."
@USCFlash I stand corrected: One RIB. If what you say is true, he lied in one of the videos then. I watched it on Wired: Nikolaj Answers web's most searched questions. Where'd you see it?
@@h_cyn I saw the Wired thing too, and he said "broke a rib" @ 6:05 and later in that same interview @ 6:22 "broke a rib"(rib, singular, not ribs, plural) The interview I quoted was from vulture interview with him Apr 15, 2013 and the wired was from 2019....so maybe he embellished in the Wired one.
@@h_cyn I understood the "stand corrected", no problem. 👍 I don't know why he would change the bruised to broke 5 years later. I don't think he made it up because the guy who kicked him confirmed it. Weird he embellished.....who knows
Glad to see the High Sparrow on the hate list. Yeah, the hypocrisy of religion makes him a very easy to hate figure indeed. I'll defend Melissandre though (fitting considering the episode), even though she's a very good exemple of the hypocrisy of religion too, but that's mostly because I adore Carice van Houten (the actress), so a little bias here. ^^
Me too, ill defend her. She's one of the best most intriguing and mysterious characters within the show and the books. One of my top favourite characters in this universe. In the books, her chapters are always fantastic and make you crave for more of them.
Is he really a hypocrite though? I mean, he’s walking the walk. He’s not indulging in finery or lust. He’s a fanatic through and through IMO. A true believer, which makes him very dangerous.
So Melisandre's predictions were wrong because her trachea hasn't glowed in a while, and that's because of all the dragon glass or maybe lack of dragon glass, and a bunch of lemons nearby. I'm certain petyr baelish is behind this some way paying people to bring lemons near Melisandre. Got it. 😂
WOW! No love for Arya... Awweee.... 😧 @Lindsay: I'm not a fan of coconut either, but I use coconut milk when I make Asian food. And I know a good recipe for a tuna salad with onion, coconut flakes, chilli and lime juice. Very tasty, but also very spicy (called Mas Huni)!
@@MugShotzReacts For Ashley: Jon Snow asked Ygritte what happens when a warg slips into an animal and dies. And he got the answer that the soul remains in the animal because the body is dead! I think that's what Ashley meant! But Jon Snow was never a warg, like Bran! BTW: I think someone once mentioned somewhere (or will?) how old Melissandre is. Something ~400 years.
Low key, Sir Alliser is right. He isnt watching GoT. His perspective is letting a bunch of savages through the gate. This is not The song of Ice and Fire by GRRM anymore. Savages are savages, this ain't Disney, like the ones that wrote this believe.
**SPOILER** cover their eyes. Hey Stephanie. I’m wondering if this is something that you’ve noticed too or or am I’m just seeing things. Everytime I watch the scene where Ser Davos finds Jon’s body. Just the way he’s looking at Jon’s blood in the snow when they carry him inside. Is his blood in the shape of a dragon? I see it no matter how many times I watch. Am I crazy? lol
The fact the red woman deluded Stannis into thinking he could actually take the throne. He was a decent military command sure but especially after Robert I don't see Westerosi soldiers being good kings. She props up his worst tendencies. For that fuck Melisandre
she's witch hundreds years old! hell she was alive during time of the show dance of dragons time roberts rebellion she is very old too, sad no spoiler but arya didnt get the story too as in books blind she is a damn bad ass man jon cool but ARYA IS THE BEST TO ME!!! wish they read the books soon as no spoilers are coming as nights king aint in the book yet!! n they see him so....reading books they would need imagination n see greatness after the 1st 5 seasons now no true book stuff....as i said last ep. jon can wrag into ghost this why he lives yet idk? as it ended w jon dying i do see in future books he will be azor. hai. flame/sword weilding against the dead n THE OTHERS they are called i forgot season sam as maester they are gonna be sick like we ALL WERE lol that "SHIT" went on way 2 long....i can see them reacting to that scene already lol...
The deterioration of Tyrion’s character to “haha funny drunk dwarf man” in the later seasons is responsible for this. Instead of using his book character arc, the writers tried to hold him to their juvenile standard of comedy, meaning dick jokes.
@Polo-wk7zl he literally in the books wanders around being drunk riding pigs and asking over and over where do whores go. Totally in character for him to make jokes and Varsy calls him out on then being lame jokes
I did not expect her to laugh SO HARD when Melissandre took off her gear.
I think it was pure shock!
when your cat made noises I thought it was my cat wanting to get in my room I had to pause and open the door only to see nobody there lol
He’s so noisy 😝
Lord of Light: "Here, take this beautiful necklace"
Melisandre: "What does it do?"
Lord of Light: "It is sort of like jewelry beer goggles"
😂
More like beer telescope....
Lord of Light: "Here, take this beautiful necklace. It's of great value."
Blood: "That's not a son."
Ashley, you are a bloody legend. To have immediately connected Jon's connection with Ghost to the ability to 'hide' himself there while his body is dead, is a leap not even all book readers make (where it's far more obvious). I am so freakin' proud of you.

Lindsay's laugh is so infectious that I started laughing too 😂

Cersei also never had a mother and maybe she would’ve been shaped better if she was alive but we will never know because she didn’t have that but the way she genuinely talked about her only daughter was heartbreaking because she never tried to mold myrcella into something she’s not or flat out cruel which is why she loved her all the more of how sweet and good she was which probably made Cersei feel like crap about herself because she was aware of a monster she is which makes it so intriguing but damn sad even when she was talking about all 3 of her children was also so good because she knows them better than anyone else, she may not be the best mother but she tried and overall her whole arc was to protect her family even tho she made the wrong decisions and was too greedy for power but still her goal was to save them from their deathly fates but i think she fully accepted there’s nothing she can do anymore the day she lost myrcella when she was vulnerable to Jamie, anyways I think Cersei is a great villain but a lot people are so blinded by their hatred for her that it’s hard to see some of her point of view or sympathize with her which I can understand… all I can say is no mother deserves to lose a child let alone all of them even tho Joffrey had to go but i can’t imagine how genuinely horrifying to watch your own child die like that jeez 💀😬and she didn’t deserve the atonement that just wanted to punish her for being a woman even tho she gave the faith an army but still that was hard to watch and Margery was poking the bear , she didn’t deserve to get graped by her own twin brother by their dead child who she literally begged him no but he didn’t care anyways, she didn’t deserve to be sold off to a man who would abuse her and get drunk every night who never loved her let alone was no better than the mad king who did nothing but drink and whore away all the time instead of ruling , she didn’t deserve a cruel father who always pushed her aside for not being a boy but yet loved using her every chance he got to benefit his “legacy” but never helped her to rule better or be more smart when it comes to her own decisions! And he was her main influence for hatred to despise her brother Tyrion , Cersei is terrible we all know that but i think some of the stuff that happened that led to the events so far wasn’t on her and hell people wonder why she was always drinking a lot cause shit I would too if I was in her shoes trying to survive in a harsh man’s world at that time like nope🥲😅😭💀 the way she was so happy to hear myrcella was coming and she hasn’t even seen her over year that was low💔🥲😞 the sands ain’t shit for killing myrcella who did not deserve that at all…😒💔
@@tieonariley22well the fact the show changed a bunch of things to make it not Cersei fault for a lot of things. Hell cersei is the one that ordered Robert bastards killed they switched that to Joffrey
@@Cream-2128 yeah I know but I get show Cersei tho but some people hate shows version Cersei that I don think they would’ve handle book Cersei who is absolutely insane but fun to read lol!
@@tieonariley22Cersei also encouraged Joffrey behavior. Nothing tragic about her character she’s been evil since a child. Tywin wasn’t the reason Cersei hated Tyrion she literally did that on her own. She literally neglected all the kids besides Joffrey.
@@Cream-2128 hey we all have our views on Cersei but at the end of the day I can never hate her for being a woman and a mother in that time Periodt , Tywin was her only heavily influence since she always wanted to be like him or at least wanted to be acknowledged by him but of course he was terrible and evil , theirs literally no guidance nor book on how to be a good parent but of course Cersei is a product of her environment and of course she enabled her son behavior but regardless it wouldn’t of mattered because boys were taught to be above girls let alone their own mothers due to the standards and westeriose system that made for men and he was psycho with no father figure either since Robert was never around let alone a good person/father, yes she’s evil and it was stupid that she couldn’t see her hatred for Tyrion blinded her but she did genuinely believe it was him because he sent her only daughter away and he threatened her about her joy will end soon , don’t get me wrong Cersei was her own down fall but some of the stuff that’s happened wasn’t on her but the men around her and the sands was salty that obryn died on his own choice so they took it out on her innocent daughter who nothing to do with tywins decision to kill princess Ellia and children, Cersei’l didn’t deserve a lot of things to her but I get everyone on how they feel about her as a villain but she has some moments that are so complex and sad that it’s hard to not hate her in those moments…
I love Lindsay not giving a F bringing up politics.
A lot of reactors avoid that kind of thing to avoid turning off viewers with different opinions, and while I have been loving rewatching GoT each week (it's just as painful of a wait as it was originally) with you all as a sort of escapism, what I like most in react channels is a feeling of authenticity, and if you're not constantly thinking about current politics I just can't take you seriously.
I hope y'all continue on after this with some more long running series (and hopefully do more than one episode a week!)
This season have one of the best episodes ever! ⭐️
@43:19: the most polite ‘F-- you’ in the history of Westeros.
OMG, not Lindsay making Lucile Ball's "Vitameatavegimin" face when she took her sip
@45:03: I was exactly just like Lindsay, laughing my head off at the idea of all these men salivating at Melisandre and wanting to sleep with her… she gave many hints about her age throughout the story but guys were to busy fancying her to listen…
AFTER next episode, show them the Jon Snow SNL skit with Kit
Brienne's arch is one of the greatest. Its really tied up there with the Hound, Tyrion, and Theon for biggest and greatest transformation.
That cackling laugh is so grating
Cackles and claws!!
If you warg into an animal, and your body is killed while you are away, the theory is you would be stuck in your animal. It is insinuated (maybe more clearly in the books) that a warg could escape death by doing this, but would eventually lose memory of being a human. Curious as to what would happen if eventually someone else watches into that same animal - would they share any memories....
Season 7 drink suggestions:
1- Scorpion
2- Green Walker
3- Wings of stupidity
4- Long Long farewell
😁😁😁
Queens Justice
A glass of wine
From that list, I vote "Scorpion"
All fantastic suggestions!!!!
did she say a White Walker's fart? Lindsay definitely goes on the love list for that. Right up there with Odin.
🐈⬛
In jons book death as he is dying his last words are "ghost" i wish they included that in the show.
On to a great season ladies!
All the best this season and regards from the land of the Red Woman (Carice van Houten), the Netherlands!
"she burned a child alive" is MORE than enough to put on a list of people you hate lol
Totally fair!
In France they drink Malibu (white rum coconut liqueur) and milk. If I remember 35yrs ago correctly, it tastes ok.
I love how we get to see Stefani's amateur Mixology. Or rather professional, if I do say so myself.
🥰
There is a funny skit where Conan O Brian reenacts the naked 200yr old lady scene.. pretty funny.
Melisandre is one of my fav characters and one of the only ones that had some justice by the end of the show on her arc.
Either season 7 or 8 should have a drink called Fire and Ice, and it should be Jalapeño Icecream floating in coke and whiskey.
Ohh interesting!!
The Winds of Winter is the perfect name for that drink because much like George RR Martin, Lindsay will never finish it
HAHAHA!!!
Season 7 drink : The Spoils of War.
🤩
"Put that necklace back on, honey."
@ 19:07 - With an army of dead men advancing, I think a wall is a good thing.
Maybe for Season 7 drink you could make a wildfire themed drink though it'll probably be very obvious and not really season 7 themed technically. Or maybe a Fire & Blood drink, maybe something with cinnamon or honey whisky and raspberries?
Ooooo love the fire & blood idea!!!
Dang it! I thought Balerion the Black Dread was going to be a permanent addition.
🤣🤣🤣 I was cleaning black makeup out of my ears for 2 days
Mellisandra was apparently about 400 years old.
Try a White Walker: three fingers or so of Godiva white chocolate liqueur over ice, fill the rest of the glass with vanilla cream soda. Once the soda forms a head, drizzle a tablespoon of blue Curacao on top. The blue should filter down thru the soda foam and leave lovely blue streaks in the white.
We had some similar looking to that for season 5! Sounds yummy though!
I think Dany took her ring from Hizdahr because Dothraki widows aren't allowed to remarry
It was actually her mother’s ring - her only possession from her (never explained on the show). She sacrificed it because she wanted to be tracked and found.
This is the best season 🎉
Ok you guys got me, i'm in 😊
🤩
The Red Woman becomes the Grey Woman.
Linsay: "I don't like coconut" / tastes the alcohol "It's getting better" / Finds out the recipe is from Discord fans: "MMmmm"
When she literally cackled like a witch during the Red woman reveal lol I laugh that way too but that was great timing
Fun detail, a while back The Red Woman was in a bath talking to Stannis’ wife if you remember, she didn’t have the necklace on and it’s the only time she doesn’t before this episode.
Wonder if that was an accident or what lol
I wonder that too, or if maybe his wife was such a believer Melisandre didn’t need the necklace in front of her?
@ I’d never considered that.. I’m curious if Melisandre’s faith at the time also had some sort of an effect 🤔
**Steph**
Your drink seems to be missing a color. Needs something more, much more. 😂😂😂
No spoilers this time!!!
the only person who can spoil that is Bran on e6.
The Red Witch - Nah
The Catfish Queen - Yah
Turn up that brightness lol . I was over here trying to guess the name of the drink. Why did I think of THE DOOR. I made up my own drink after suggesting Pyg Shyte to you last season. Lol
Midori liquor
Malibu rum
Pineapple juice
It's 💚!
Yummmm
CPR.....lol
I think if someone were to give him CPR, nothing would happen, BECAUSE, the moment someone breathes in, all the air would escape through all of those holes......some of those HAD to have punctured the lungs
My list
Love (main characters):
1. Arya
2. Tyrion
3. Daenerys
Love (side characters):
1. Olenna Tyrell
2. Tywin Lannister
3. Ygritte (+another character who has not been introduced yet.)
Hate:
1. Petyr Baelish
2. Ramsey Bolton
3. Melisandre/ Walder Frey (tied for 3rd.)
Lindsay's reaction to the Red Woman reveal was priceless. 😂
I think that +1 is someone from the bear island.
@@h_cyn you would be correct. 😂
I would say it is Fortunate that "You Reap What You Sow".... Accountability can be scary to liars!
Lmao.
The laughing at the Red Witch is hilarious. It was unexpected to me. The reactions from the male reactors are always disgust. The laughing was different and funny. I love your reactions. Keep it up.
lindsay’s laughter at the end, HAAAAA
“mhysa means mother in valyrian” 🤢 NO IT EFFING DOESN’T. (if you remember from the end of season 3, missandei says “it’s old ghiscari, your grace. it means ‘mother’” - danaerys would’ve understood were it valyrian)
and dorne…i don’t even want to talk about dorne!
kudos to ashley and lindsay both for picking up on some of the book theories on jon! - the ice cells preserving his body AND him warging ghost at his death! clap clap clap
13:28 lmfao!! Basically saying "enough small talk, quiet now peasants"
I lowkey love tho how the chick in the left corner is always so intense and hyped even though she's already seen it. That is essentially me everytime I watch GoT with someone new and have to control myself not to tell them to stfu and pay attention.
The truth is, Brienne of Tar's oaths are especially profound and this last one... gave us all goosebumps. Ashai's Meliassandre is about 200 years old, she if you wanted could have appeared in HOD. And with Cercei, what to say about Cercei? Now she is going to need my support more than ever, The High Sparrow has more power.. 💚❄&🔥´♬
Maple syrup in the drink? The Canadian is strong with these ones...
Just on the rim! But hey why not it’s delicious!!
They probably didn't like the cocktail because it's *not finished yet*
The writing process for Winds of Winter turns 15 next year. By this time next year it will be old enough to start taking driving lessons in the US.
Hahahaha that’s great 🤣
It's always funny how none of the main characters wear helmets into battles....Brienne, Stannis, Robb, Jamie, The Hound, etc.....they have been doing that nonsense forever so you can see the actors/actresses faces....like viewers could not tell who they were by having distinctive helmets and seeing their faces for 6 seasons. So silly.
I only recall Tywin wearing one briefly and Loras as well at Blackwater, plus Tyrion briefly wearing a helmet at Blackwater, then took it off to get slashed in the face properly.
------****----SPOILERS---****--------
Then of course later on:
Jamie, Arya, Jon, Berric, Thoros, Davos, Jorah, Daario, Grey Worm, Euron, Theon, Yara, etc etc etc
Probably the dumbest though, was not designing a real combat outfit for Dany, with Targaryen sigils on a cool suit of armor and a helmet for when she rides
Drogon into battle...plus a cool combat saddle....Instead, she wears silly long dresses and desperately hangs on to a couple of back spikes....like she could hang on to those for 30 minutes of combat.
Don't forget to Vote!
Wish we could lol we are Canadian!
When Ramsay ordered that girl to be fed to the hounds, that's when I knew he was the most dastardly character in this whole story. For him, the thrill of the hunt isn't power like almost everyone else.
#BrienneTheOathkeeper
Selyse Baratheon saw Melisadre without the necklace which suggests that she saw her true form. Selyse is a true believer which is why she accepted Stannis sleeping with that hag.
D&D admitted the omission of the necklace in that bath scene was simply an oversight. One of the few mistakes for which they take responsibility.
it's a real life BLOODY WOMAN ! 😧 23:39 😰
😅😂🤪🤣🤣
LADY ODELL !!!
😂
ROFLMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪
Ps ... I prefer Lemon as well 😘
36:50 bruised fingernails - never noticed that before.
Fun fact: Noah (Locke) broke Nikolaj's (Jaime) ribs during that fight in the mud after he lost his hand.
I realised Carice (Melissandre) is really cool after watching her podcast Let's Get Lyrical.
Not correct at all. Nikolaj's ribs (plural) were not broken. One was bruised, that is all.
nikolaj coster waldau interview:
"There's a scene with Locke, and Noah Taylor plays all of this beautifully he had to kick me. And I had this protective thing on, but he just missed it, and so he got the rib instead. I had a bruised rib for a while. I'm pretty sure that is the take they used, because there is a realism to my reaction that you can't fake."
@USCFlash I stand corrected: One RIB. If what you say is true, he lied in one of the videos then.
I watched it on Wired: Nikolaj Answers web's most searched questions. Where'd you see it?
@@h_cyn
I saw the Wired thing too, and he said "broke a rib" @ 6:05 and later in that same interview @ 6:22 "broke a rib"(rib, singular, not ribs, plural)
The interview I quoted was from vulture interview with him Apr 15, 2013 and the wired was from 2019....so maybe he embellished in the Wired one.
@@USCFlash or maybe he made up the whole thing. I just quoted him as he said. And yes singular- that's what I meant by "i stand corrected".
@@h_cyn I understood the "stand corrected", no problem. 👍
I don't know why he would change the bruised to broke 5 years later. I don't think he made it up because the guy who kicked him confirmed it.
Weird he embellished.....who knows
Glad to see the High Sparrow on the hate list. Yeah, the hypocrisy of religion makes him a very easy to hate figure indeed.
I'll defend Melissandre though (fitting considering the episode), even though she's a very good exemple of the hypocrisy of religion too, but that's mostly because I adore Carice van Houten (the actress), so a little bias here. ^^
Me too, ill defend her. She's one of the best most intriguing and mysterious characters within the show and the books. One of my top favourite characters in this universe. In the books, her chapters are always fantastic and make you crave for more of them.
Is he really a hypocrite though? I mean, he’s walking the walk. He’s not indulging in finery or lust. He’s a fanatic through and through IMO. A true believer, which makes him very dangerous.
"Stand up and fight, blind girl"
"I can't see"
And people say the writing suffered! :)
Will you guys watch other shows like Breaking Bad after ? I really hope you do because you pay close attention to details.
I think we’ve all seen Breaking Bad!
The Red woman was probably there, when Isuldur failed to toss the ring into the Mount Doom.
Melisandra has been fighting the force of darkeness since the 2nd age of middle earth. -------- What a warrior of light.
So Melisandre's predictions were wrong because her trachea hasn't glowed in a while, and that's because of all the dragon glass or maybe lack of dragon glass, and a bunch of lemons nearby. I'm certain petyr baelish is behind this some way paying people to bring lemons near Melisandre.
Got it.
😂
WOW! No love for Arya... Awweee.... 😧
@Lindsay: I'm not a fan of coconut either, but I use coconut milk when I make Asian food. And I know a good recipe for a tuna salad with onion, coconut flakes, chilli and lime juice. Very tasty, but also very spicy (called Mas Huni)!
They’ll come around to her again, I know a lot of people are frustrated with her storyline at this point!
@@MugShotzReacts For Ashley: Jon Snow asked Ygritte what happens when a warg slips into an animal and dies. And he got the answer that the soul remains in the animal because the body is dead! I think that's what Ashley meant! But Jon Snow was never a warg, like Bran!
BTW: I think someone once mentioned somewhere (or will?) how old Melissandre is. Something ~400 years.
“Can’t he warg”?
In the books, every stark can warg into their wolf…..but the show took that away a from him
Low key, Sir Alliser is right.
He isnt watching GoT. His perspective is letting a bunch of savages through the gate.
This is not The song of Ice and Fire by GRRM anymore. Savages are savages, this ain't Disney, like the ones that wrote this believe.
**SPOILER** cover their eyes. Hey Stephanie. I’m wondering if this is something that you’ve noticed too or or am I’m just seeing things. Everytime I watch the scene where Ser Davos finds Jon’s body. Just the way he’s looking at Jon’s blood in the snow when they carry him inside. Is his blood in the shape of a dragon? I see it no matter how many times I watch. Am I crazy? lol
I’ve seen that before online as well! Seems like too much of a coincidence to not be on purpose
Why in seven hells that woman laughs at that point ... Not any sense at all
She’s both in shock and laughing at all of the men that Melisandre has fooled!
The one of the left (my left) has seen the show right?
Yes, black Tshirt has seen
The fact the red woman deluded Stannis into thinking he could actually take the throne. He was a decent military command sure but especially after Robert I don't see Westerosi soldiers being good kings. She props up his worst tendencies. For that fuck Melisandre
For everyone that burned I blame and hate Stannis more he didn't have to listen to the demon twat.
giant milk***
she's witch hundreds years old! hell she was alive during time of the show dance of dragons time roberts rebellion she is very old too, sad no spoiler but arya didnt get the story too as in books blind she is a damn bad ass man jon cool but ARYA IS THE BEST TO ME!!! wish they read the books soon as no spoilers are coming as nights king aint in the book yet!! n they see him so....reading books they would need imagination n see greatness after the 1st 5 seasons now no true book stuff....as i said last ep. jon can wrag into ghost this why he lives yet idk? as it ended w jon dying i do see in future books he will be azor. hai. flame/sword weilding against the dead n THE OTHERS they are called i forgot season sam as maester they are gonna be sick like we ALL WERE lol that "SHIT" went on way 2 long....i can see them reacting to that scene already lol...
Thank god jon snow didnt fall for the red woman!
This is definitely the best season they directed and produced. Every episode is great.
I really have never understood why Tyrion is so cruel to Varys about his castration. It seems so out of character, especially to a good friend.
LOL. He’s not “cruel.” All his comments are in jest. That’s what men do: break each other’s balls (well, not in Varys’ case). Zing!
The deterioration of Tyrion’s character to “haha funny drunk dwarf man” in the later seasons is responsible for this. Instead of using his book character arc, the writers tried to hold him to their juvenile standard of comedy, meaning dick jokes.
@@Polo-wk7zl No, the book is much much worse. He literally joins the circus and rides a pig. It's awful.
@@gunkulator1 Bad opinion.
@Polo-wk7zl he literally in the books wanders around being drunk riding pigs and asking over and over where do whores go. Totally in character for him to make jokes and Varsy calls him out on then being lame jokes
