@SirAwesomeVille yeah it's probably in my top 10 favorite GoT quotes. "You lived your life for the king. You're going to die for some chickens?" "Someone is ..." 😂
The reason Daenery's is 'obsessed' with the red dragon is because a dragon rider can only bond with one dragon, as seen in HOTD. Dany is a special case because the other two see her as her mom and aren't bonded to anyone else but she still has her actual bond to the black dragon.
Thenns in books: they have laws and lords, making them the most sophisticated of the Wildlings and closer to the men living south of the Wall. Thenns in the show: insane cannibals.

The Hound and Arya's journey is one of the most random and unpredictable ones, but it never feels forced. In fact I think GRRM was very smart to include it because it gives us a small release after season 3.
Sansa's situation sucks more tbh, she spent 3 seasons dreaming that her brother would rescue her and now all her hope is gone, and you've got Joffrey making her life absolute misery. The thing with Arya, Jon and Dany is that they're cut from a different cloth and actually have the skills and mentality to survive in the wild. They all have agency and freedom to define their own destiny, Sansa does not.
😂 Yes, Daddy Pedro is finally here! I was excited for y'all to meet Oberyn and the reactions were pretty great. The predictions for this season were interesting. Welp, starting this weekend, y'all will be reacting to HotD and GoT. It's gonna be crazy!

The look on Mckay's face when you guys are just rambling on is priceless. Cannon and Carter just watch the show and stop trying to guess everything. Just watch! One love!
There is a reason why Dany is the fan favorite and many people liked the show and it’s not just her dragons people hyped but also because of her portrayal of a strong female character. And there is a reason why HBO started a Targaryen series right after GOT.. I can say so much things but sadly cannot cause I don’t want to spoil it. But just keep in mind Dany was just a little girl who has her family brutally murdered, far away from her home, she and Viserys lived in the streets begging for money and food, then she sold as a wife of a strong Khal ( she was a child bride who has forced to marry). Then with absolutely from nothing she gained a three dragons, army, nations and became a queen. She didn’t grow up in fancy castles. So to people who calling her “poor princess” in the comments?? Are we watching the same thing or y’all just bitter because a female character is the strongest in the series ?
i agree with everything, only the thing with the "begging for money and food" is weird to me. i only watched the show and what we see she was living in a nice place.. before the khal came to see her.. so i wonder where this was when she was "living in the streets"?
Keep in mind guys, Danaerys and her dragons cant fully be compared to the HotD dragons because 1. no saddles 2. no dragon pit or dragon trainers of any kind, nor really any people in their current world who know much about the dragons at all and 3. Dany is the only Targaryen if I recall to have more then a single dragon under her command at one time (Similarly Aegon obviously took Westeros with 3 dragons but only Balerion was bound to him while his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys were bound to Meraxes and Vhagar
Small correction: Robb never used Ice. Ilyn Payne took Ned’s head off with his own sword and kept it cause no one told him not to. Tywin has always hated that the Lannister’s Valyrian steel sword (Brightroar) was lost many generations before, so when he goes to King’s landing (and I guess waited until Stark men were dead?) he melted it into TWO swords one for Jaime and House Lannister and then another for Joffrey you’ve not seen yet. Also! Jaime does know where it comes from cause he knows Lannister’s don’t have Valyrian steel.
The dragons have had names since season 2 but they rarely ever get mentioned. (Or maybe they literally haven't been mentioned but in the books she names them right away.) The black dragon, which you guys refer to as the red one, is the largest and he's named Drogon after Khal Drogo. The green one is Rhaegal after her eldest brother Rhaegar. The white/cream-colored one is Viseryon after the rat Viserys. If that last one is surprising, in the books I think she has more complicated feelings about Viserys. She thought his death was necessary but she still mourns him and thinks about him since they were together her whole life. Whereas in the show she's just over it right away.
Danny's dragons names were Drogon the black dragon who is the biggest of the three and named after khal Drogo, the green one is named Rhaegal named after her eldest brother Rhaegar Targaryan killed by Robert Baratheon, the yellowish one is Veserion named after her brother Viserys.
daenerys wants to see all of the slave children to remember their faces when the time to punish the masters come, since no one else will remember them. this is not about trying too hard or being rude, it is about being a compassionate ruler who cares about the people and is willing to do justice for them. i fear you guys spend too much time talking instead of actually paying attention to the character’s story.
At this point, GoT has such a phenomenal cast and wonderful established characters it’s simply mind-blowing that they could introduce someone brand new into the mix who immediately becomes among the best. Phenomenal writing. Phenomenal acting.
i love that you guys debrief so much after each episode and that everyone has such a different perspective, especially because a lot of channels don't do that. can't wait to see what you think of season 4!
Whether you hate or love her, I'm really struggling to see how Dany can be called one-dimensional. Her thoughts are full of inner conflict, we've seen growth from her as a character since the first book in the series, and she has an impact on everyone around her wherever she goes. If she was one-dimensional, she wouldn't inspire nearly the amount of discussion that she does. Lots of depth to Dany, whether you like her or not, it's still there. As for her predictability-most characters are? Jon is mostly monotone and has that continuous “good-guy” air about him. The Hound talks about the five same subjects every time we see him, and Tywin appears to be as goal-oriented as Daenerys; if not more. I think the disconnect you’re feeling stems from the fact that she’s still in the midst of establishing herself as a ruler, rather than as a character. Her development is external (the internal part was lost between the book to series adaptation) - whereas the others already *have* their place in the world, familiarized surroundings and a certain goal they need to fulfill. goals that appear much more ‘achievable’ than Daenerys’, whose still an entire sea away from Westeros
It's the disadvantage of what she's trying to do -- It _looks_ performative, but that's specifically _because_ she's making a point to make sure that everybody knows *exactly* what the fuck she's about. She's intentionally done.over.finito. being quiet and passive about what she wants to accomplish. She's making sure that everybody knows exactly where the line in the sand is, so that everybody _must_ pick a side about it. In matters of slavery, oppression, and abuse she's establishing herself as a benevolent tyrant. I _strongly_ suspect George took a non-insignificant bit of Alexander the Great as a part of his muse for sculpting some of the principles of Danaerys' come-up.
@@yarsaz4347 what did op say that was wrong? Dany is a phenomenal character and is very dear to asoiaf fans and grrm himself, as long as op is simply saying their opinion without being rude whats the problem?
@@vbb2076 If their comment was "danny stans are so annoying bruh", it's probably safe to say that they don't actually have any substantial thoughts to contribute. Hopefully they prove otherwise!
In this episode, while talking to Jaime, Joffrey mentions Ser Duncan the Tall, as being a former King's Guard. HBO's next series, which started filming this month, is about Ser Duncan and his loyal squire, "Egg." "Egg," being short for Aegon, as in Targaryen. But only Dunk and Egg know this secret, (and Egg's father, Prince Maekor Targaryen.) Dunk is an ancestor to both Brienne and Hodor, and Egg is the brother to Maester Aemon. Chances are we will meet a young Maester Aemon in this series, and possibly even a young Olena Tyrell.
I'm not gonna take the slander about Jaime's new haircut/look, I'm sorry. 😭😭 He looks gorgeous in it. Also, in the books, he had to cut all his hair off after escaping from Riverrun to throw off anyone looking for him. The loss of his golden locks, as well as his hand, is significant-he's no longer Cersei's mirror image. I'm gonna let you read between the lines here.
I love that you guys also acknowledged Catelyn’s finer points via Tyrion. The actress Michelle Fairley was here in New Zealand filming for a new series not long ago, and was surprised at how many people here enjoyed Catelyn as a character. She truly was fearlessly fierce when it came to protecting her children. Dragging Frays wife from under the table whilst threatening Walder with deadly conviction. Grabbing the knife by the blade to protect Bran during the mercy killing altercation. I started the series near the end of 2017 after hearing my mates at Uni ranting about Cat being a b***h to Jon Snow and some blonde with big eyebrows and dragons. So I gave it a go and was hooked!. Unexpectedly, it was Catelyn Stark who drew my invested interest at first but I despised her nasty attitude toward Jon and began disliking her constant negativity. *Disclaimer* excuse the novel of a comment and read at your risk 😅. I was always on edge and annoyed with Cats character development at first. But it was around the time in the new year that my little sister was born and this episode was on, that I remember after hearing Tyrions words at 15:07. I think that pretty much cemented Catelyn as a solid 💯 to me and one of my favourite albeit tragic characters in the show ultimately dying for her son Robb, which is ironic as her mother Minisa Whent (daughter of the Lord and Lady of Harrenhal) died for her son and Cats brother Edmure during birth. I may not be a mother, but I became like a second mum to my little sister and suddenly found myself resonating with Catelyn’s character arc and somewhat understanding her motives. And that was her unwavering commitment ,devotion and focus for her children and family. There is a remark in a later episode by her sister Lysa stating that Neds austerity had become Catelyn’s. It sums her up pretty well, in that diplomacy and tactful thinking were her strong front. We literally see how quickly her mind works as she commands a room to seize Tyrion in 1x4. She and every move she made was strategically played to get her children back home safely. The show did well to demonstrate that despite wives/queens/lady’s not having any actual power or control like that of their husbands/kings/lord’s. For Catelyn and Cersei especially, they still outlasted their husbands using their influences and powers as mothers to ensure their children survived ..as long as they could of course. It doesn’t matter how annoying, hated, ruthless or despicable they were in order to do so, they did it purely out of love for their children and I think it was often their redeeming quality …for Cersei it was her only redeeming quality anyway. “Love no one but your children. On that front, a mother has no choice” - Cersei
How can you like what someone stands for and then think they are trying to hard and being boring because she wants to honour and remember all these slaves that have been crucified just to intimidate her? 🤔
Alliser Thorne was Targaryen loyalist in war against Robert so he respects Aemon and Olenna Tyrell then Redwyne was behrode to Daeron Targaryen who was Daenerys grandfather's brother
It is definitely not the first re-cast. Mountain is re-cast every season he is in. I like how nowadays everyone is like "Pedro, it is Pedro!", when back then it was like "hey, that's a cool dude, what is his name and what was he in?". Truly a life changing breakout role, even tho he has been acting for almost 2 decades before that (inb4 "nah, he is pretty well know", like yeah, if you're a like the most hardcore fan of Graceland or the Good Wife he was in for a couple episodes). I think Sansa knows Tyrion isn't a monster people make him up to be, and they had normal conversations, like in 3x10 before the council meeting. But, he is the guy Shae is just ... there a jealous possessive people, hysterical, manipulative, all sorts of different people. She is one of those emotions forward, head last types. Nobody, except Janos, laughed at "giants" comment.
I know technically the mountain had three different actors, but in my mind, it was the Icelandic guy the whole time. I always forget the actors for the mountain up until season 4 were different
In the books, the first time The White Book was mentioned, Jaime actually did have some insights and moment of introspection in relation to Criston Cole.
Why should Daenerys listen to bad advice? Briggs what you haven't realized about the spat they had in astaphor is that she was right. She played the masters like fools, and got a free army and a reputation for herself in one fell swoop. Most importantly they were disrespectful to her, she is the queen and they questioned her in the middle of negotiations. You think robert baratheon would ever allow that shit, ned questioned his decision to kill Daenerys and he was literally threatening to put his head on a spike as a result 😂
@@brigandrus no use telling this to Carter he's a lost cause... Not every character is meant to be liked by everyone. She's a queen in the middle of a conquest, she's a bitch sometimes for sure, but that's why she's succeeding. Nice guys like ned, fuck around and find out in westros.
The child bride comment from Shae is interesting because in the books she is much younger, only 19-20, while Tyrion is about 27, and Sansa is only about 13.
Guess what?! “Ser Duncan the Tall” mentioned by Joffrey here, they’re actually making a GoT spinoff series about him right now! The 1st production image was released! So cool to see him shouted out here. The series will be called “A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms”
The dragons do have names. The black one or the one u guys call red is named Drogon named after Khal Drogo. The green one is named Rhaegal named after her brother Rhaegar. The white/yellowish one is named Viserion after her brother Viserys
I think a large part of Dany's personality has to deal with her learning how to be queen through Dothraki culture. In the books at this point, she still has a very very small khalasar with her (she does in the show too but they barely explore this.) A khaleesi/khal pretty much have to demand respect at all times in order to receive it. I get the argument that she's one dimensional but growing up desperately holding onto her royalty was all she ever had.
Well, the thing is in the books many characters have much more nuanced personalities like John, Tyrion or Daenarys. Thats because books have more details and inner monologues so characters can be better written and in Daenarys case she suffers from the lack of these details and becomes more one dimensional in the show. In the books she is actually pretty interesting, but sadly in the show a lot was cut out
this happens to both Jon and Dany in the show the worst. Jon is such an amazing character to read. He's an outwardly stoic quiet man and EVERYTHING about him goes on in his head. Its just not possible to show on screen.
I think a lot of people have blinders on when it comes to Shae cause she is mad at Tyrion who we all love. Remember she wanted to leave. He said no. He said he likes this hes good at it etc. He spent season 3 being stepped on. Forced to marry. Given a position he doesnt like. Not recognized for the things he accomplished. He should have left an us as viewers know it So people are like "she needs to understand his position what did she expect?" She expected the man she loves who made her promise you are mine and I am yours to treat her the same and he doesnt. He chose kings landing over her
There are people in the world who are willing to give up their family for love. And then there are people who are too deeply tied to their family (and/or duty) for that to ever be in the realm of possibility. Tyrion falls into the latter category. In a way, it's no different than Rhaenyra being unwilling to run off with Ser Criston. Or Jon being unwilling to give up the safety of his brothers in the Nights Watch, the North, and the Realm for Ygritte. To me, it just shows that these characters - Shae, Ser Criston, and Ygritte - were either really naive to think their "loves" would run off with them, or that they didn't know/understand them at all to begin with...
I don't think the problem is that Sansa doesn't think tyrion is a good guy, I think the Problem is that her father, her mother and all her brothers have died (to her knowledge) and that she hasnt seen arya since the day robert died
Book-Sansa's doesn't like anyone who is ugly. And Book-Tyrion is ugly (Unlike Peter, Tyrion was never particularly handsome to being with, and then his nose was completely cut off during the Battle of the Blackwater.) Even at this point, she still hasn't fully realized that "beautiful" doesn't = good and "ugly" doesn't = bad.
It blows my mind how Jon fanboys say that Dany is a one dimensional character like he is the most bland character in the entire GoT universe. He is the most predictable character (Jon= always right in their eyes) and calling her rude but would never say that about any male characters that have said far worse. Its funny to them when other characters talk crazy but expect Dany to be humble and obedient? Shes a Queen, thats how she should be. The double standards are insane among the GoT fandom.
*****SPOILER for later GOT seasons***** That is why I hate the mad queen ending for Dany, it makes no sense. People say they could see it coming when she was being mean or ruthless, but she hasn't been anymore ruthless than Jon or any other character in the show has been. I don't know if that will be her ending in the books and I'm sure if it is, it will be better written. But I think how much people will give shit to Dany for acting a certain way but praise the guys in the show for doing similar things is so such a double standard.
Queen, beautiful, unburned, she brought 3 dragons into the world (after 100 years without one)... she's too "humble" if you ask me, can you imagine Cersei or Joffrey with those characteristics. Yep, imagine it!
@@brtntv9446 That is usually how it works when you are into something and enjoy the IP. You like to theorize, talk about it, etc. Many people have spent lots of years reading these books, watching the show. I doubt think anyone is pressed.
Anytime someone wants to quit watching after the red wedding I always tell them this show gives you so many more people to root for. Don't give up. It gets so much better from here!
That's interesting that you compared the Tyrells to the Hightowers. If I'm not mistaken in the History of Westeros, House Tyrell used to be bannermen for House Hightower. But their ancestors played the game well and now they're the 2nd richest house in Westeros
The Tyrells were stewards to the former Kings of the Reach, House Gardener. Like the Starks in the North, the Gardners were of the First Men and had ruled the Reach since the Age of Heroes. House Gardener stood against Aegon the Conquerer and his sister-wives and were essentially exterminated (like House Durrandon in the Stormlands and House Hoare of the Isles and Riverlands, who built Harrenhal). Then the Targs promoted House Tyrell to Lord Paramount of the Reach (and House Tully in the Riverlands and House Baratheon in the Stormlands).
Dawg it's so obvious through this whole series Drogon is Dany favorite child. She loves Viseryon and Rhaegar but that huge black and red demon is her favorite.
"Daenerys arrives and eats Tywin" is the best :DDDDDDDDD Also: 7:15 Yeay, he's back! :D And all the boys fawning over the male characters is everything I needed . *candiehappynow* :D
Random fun book fact that has no bearing on the plot: Jaime comments on Cersei drinking more than she used to. In the books she starts getting chunky but instead of thinking she needs to lose some weight she thinks her handmaidens are secretly making her dresses smaller and considers having them whipped, because of course she does, she's Cersei. The show people didn't ask the Cersei actress to gain weight over such a small plot point, but its still kinda fun trivia imo.
They did mentioned Ser Criston Cole from the white book. In the books, Jamie and Ser Loras talk about the white brothers before then and Jamie specifically talks about Criston Cole The kingmaker. So, cannon you need to read the books to enjoy those conversations. and they are really good. Another mention from cannon, the horse that the hound and arya have is called stranger and it was insanely huge and strong and loyal to hound. you really should read the books man you're gonna love it. i wish they had made 13 seasons like GRRM suggested. and the books had all the material for it.

The Adventures of Arya Stark and The Hound are my favorite bits in season 4.
Whether you hate or love her, I'm really struggling to see how Dany can be called one-dimensional. Her thoughts are full of inner conflict, we've seen growth from her as a character since the first book in the series, and she has an impact on everyone around her wherever she goes. If she was one-dimensional, she wouldn't inspire nearly the amount of discussion that she does. Lots of depth to Dany, whether you like her or not, it's still there.
As for her predictability-most characters are? Jon is mostly monotone and has that continuous “good-guy” air about him. The Hound talks about the five same subjects every time we see him, and Tywin appears to be as goal-oriented as Daenerys; if not more. I think the disconnect you’re feeling stems from the fact that she’s still in the midst of establishing herself as a ruler, rather than as a character. Her development is external (the internal part was lost between the book to series adaptation) - whereas the others already *have* their place in the world, familiarized surroundings and a certain goal they need to fulfill. goals that appear much more ‘achievable’ than Daenerys’, whose still an entire sea away from Westeros
It's the disadvantage of what she's trying to do -- It _looks_ performative, but that's specifically _because_ she's making a point to make sure that everybody knows *exactly* what the fuck she's about. She's intentionally done.over.finito. being quiet and passive about what she wants to accomplish. She's making sure that everybody knows exactly where the line in the sand is, so that everybody _must_ pick a side about it. In matters of slavery, oppression, and abuse she's establishing herself as a benevolent tyrant.
I _strongly_ suspect George took a non-insignificant bit of Alexander the Great as a part of his muse for sculpting some of the principles of Danaerys' come-up.
I love some Dany defender here 👏👏👏
danny stans are so annoying bruh
@@yarsaz4347 what did op say that was wrong? Dany is a phenomenal character and is very dear to asoiaf fans and grrm himself, as long as op is simply saying their opinion without being rude whats the problem?
@@vbb2076 If their comment was "danny stans are so annoying bruh", it's probably safe to say that they don't actually have any substantial thoughts to contribute. Hopefully they prove otherwise!
In this episode, while talking to Jaime, Joffrey mentions Ser Duncan the Tall, as being a former King's Guard. HBO's next series, which started filming this month, is about Ser Duncan and his loyal squire, "Egg."
"Egg," being short for Aegon, as in Targaryen. But only Dunk and Egg know this secret, (and Egg's father, Prince Maekor Targaryen.)
Dunk is an ancestor to both Brienne and Hodor, and Egg is the brother to Maester Aemon. Chances are we will meet a young Maester Aemon in this series, and possibly even a young Olena Tyrell.
Cannon's ability to randomly guess things that will happen like 5 seasons later is unreal.
I was waiting for this just so you can finally see Pedro!
Cersei’s daughter Myrcella is betrothed to Prince Doran Martel’s son, and is living in Dorne. They sent her there in season 2 homies
Of course. The ONE time there’s a character introduction coming up and not a single one predicts it’s Pedro 😅
not really spoilers but pedro is actually very distantly related to daemon!
I like how the names you used implies that Pedro Pascal is distantly related to a completely fictional character and I'm fine with it.
The dragons are named after Danny’s brothers and her beloved late husband! Am guessing also that’s why Drogo “ the black dragon” is her favourite
The Hound and Arya are an awesome duo. The Hound has some banger quotes, might be my favorite character
Brig with the best comparison between Oberyn and Daemon.
Ni siquiera he visto la reacción, pero sólo ver que hoy aparece Pedro Pascal me vino la risa de ver como gritan.
The show starts really peaking in this season.
I'm not gonna take the slander about Jaime's new haircut/look, I'm sorry. 😭😭 He looks gorgeous in it. Also, in the books, he had to cut all his hair off after escaping from Riverrun to throw off anyone looking for him. The loss of his golden locks, as well as his hand, is significant-he's no longer Cersei's mirror image. I'm gonna let you read between the lines here.
Nikolai can pull off long, short and everything in between

I love that you guys also acknowledged Catelyn’s finer points via Tyrion. The actress Michelle Fairley was here in New Zealand filming for a new series not long ago, and was surprised at how many people here enjoyed Catelyn as a character. She truly was fearlessly fierce when it came to protecting her children. Dragging Frays wife from under the table whilst threatening Walder with deadly conviction. Grabbing the knife by the blade to protect Bran during the mercy killing altercation.
I started the series near the end of 2017 after hearing my mates at Uni ranting about Cat being a b***h to Jon Snow and some blonde with big eyebrows and dragons. So I gave it a go and was hooked!. Unexpectedly, it was Catelyn Stark who drew my invested interest at first but I despised her nasty attitude toward Jon and began disliking her constant negativity.
*Disclaimer* excuse the novel of a comment and read at your risk 😅.
I was always on edge and annoyed with Cats character development at first. But it was around the time in the new year that my little sister was born and this episode was on, that I remember after hearing Tyrions words at 15:07. I think that pretty much cemented Catelyn as a solid 💯 to me and one of my favourite albeit tragic characters in the show ultimately dying for her son Robb, which is ironic as her mother Minisa Whent (daughter of the Lord and Lady of Harrenhal) died for her son and Cats brother Edmure during birth. I may not be a mother, but I became like a second mum to my little sister and suddenly found myself resonating with Catelyn’s character arc and somewhat understanding her motives. And that was her unwavering commitment ,devotion and focus for her children and family. There is a remark in a later episode by her sister Lysa stating that Neds austerity had become Catelyn’s. It sums her up pretty well, in that diplomacy and tactful thinking were her strong front. We literally see how quickly her mind works as she commands a room to seize Tyrion in 1x4. She and every move she made was strategically played to get her children back home safely. The show did well to demonstrate that despite wives/queens/lady’s not having any actual power or control like that of their husbands/kings/lord’s. For Catelyn and Cersei especially, they still outlasted their husbands using their influences and powers as mothers to ensure their children survived ..as long as they could of course. It doesn’t matter how annoying, hated, ruthless or despicable they were in order to do so, they did it purely out of love for their children and I think it was often their redeeming quality …for Cersei it was her only redeeming quality anyway.
“Love no one but your children. On that front, a mother has no choice” - Cersei
How can you like what someone stands for and then think they are trying to hard and being boring because she wants to honour and remember all these slaves that have been crucified just to intimidate her? 🤔
it's so funny when I remember that dany was actually going there to buy slaves, it's really ironic
@@jsvvnt to free them right? I dont think she wanted to own slaves
@@Bashir000 its because she needed an army to conquer westeros, jorah advised her to buy slaves
Alliser Thorne was Targaryen loyalist in war against Robert so he respects Aemon and Olenna Tyrell then Redwyne was behrode to Daeron Targaryen who was Daenerys grandfather's brother
It is definitely not the first re-cast. Mountain is re-cast every season he is in.
I like how nowadays everyone is like "Pedro, it is Pedro!", when back then it was like "hey, that's a cool dude, what is his name and what was he in?". Truly a life changing breakout role, even tho he has been acting for almost 2 decades before that (inb4 "nah, he is pretty well know", like yeah, if you're a like the most hardcore fan of Graceland or the Good Wife he was in for a couple episodes).
I think Sansa knows Tyrion isn't a monster people make him up to be, and they had normal conversations, like in 3x10 before the council meeting. But, he is the guy
Shae is just ... there a jealous possessive people, hysterical, manipulative, all sorts of different people. She is one of those emotions forward, head last types.
Nobody, except Janos, laughed at "giants" comment.
I know technically the mountain had three different actors, but in my mind, it was the Icelandic guy the whole time. I always forget the actors for the mountain up until season 4 were different
All these predictions are actually very solid no matter how outlandish 😂
yall are missing half the dialogue; one of the best things in GOT
The Hound and Arya are best duo🫡 this episode is so good, we love CHCKENS🤣 the way man grunts when he swings at people 💀
In the books, the first time The White Book was mentioned, Jaime actually did have some insights and moment of introspection in relation to Criston Cole.
*Cannon trying to say his list*
Carter: But wait. There’s more 👏🏼
Cannon is giving me Ramsey vibes eating that jerky. 😂 and also, PEDROOOO!!!! is finally here.
Why should Daenerys listen to bad advice? Briggs what you haven't realized about the spat they had in astaphor is that she was right. She played the masters like fools, and got a free army and a reputation for herself in one fell swoop. Most importantly they were disrespectful to her, she is the queen and they questioned her in the middle of negotiations. You think robert baratheon would ever allow that shit, ned questioned his decision to kill Daenerys and he was literally threatening to put his head on a spike as a result 😂
Why am I being called out I like Daenerys😭
@@brigandrus no use telling this to Carter he's a lost cause... Not every character is meant to be liked by everyone. She's a queen in the middle of a conquest, she's a bitch sometimes for sure, but that's why she's succeeding. Nice guys like ned, fuck around and find out in westros.
Queen of what??
@@tsxtina2919 she literally just conquered 2 cities and has thousands of people supporting her. Is this a real question?
The child bride comment from Shae is interesting because in the books she is much younger, only 19-20, while Tyrion is about 27, and Sansa is only about 13.
Such a strong start for the season, love that chicken scene and your reaction to Pedro. 😁
Guess what?! “Ser Duncan the Tall” mentioned by Joffrey here, they’re actually making a GoT spinoff series about him right now! The 1st production image was released! So cool to see him shouted out here. The series will be called “A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms”
The dragons do have names.
The black one or the one u guys call red is named Drogon named after Khal Drogo.
The green one is named Rhaegal named after her brother Rhaegar.
The white/yellowish one is named Viserion after her brother Viserys
but she officially names them in the beginning of season five
@@ello3110 really?? I don't remember her even naming them in the show except for Drogon and then I read someone say that it was in season 2 so idk
Season 3 is insane but season 4 is my favorite. Arya and the Hound, Pedro, Margery & Olenna, Jon finally finding his convictions. So many good things.
I think a large part of Dany's personality has to deal with her learning how to be queen through Dothraki culture. In the books at this point, she still has a very very small khalasar with her (she does in the show too but they barely explore this.) A khaleesi/khal pretty much have to demand respect at all times in order to receive it.
I get the argument that she's one dimensional but growing up desperately holding onto her royalty was all she ever had.
Yaaaay!! Pedro is finally here! Loved the reaction from you guys seeing him hahah
Well, the thing is in the books many characters have much more nuanced personalities like John, Tyrion or Daenarys. Thats because books have more details and inner monologues so characters can be better written and in Daenarys case she suffers from the lack of these details and becomes more one dimensional in the show. In the books she is actually pretty interesting, but sadly in the show a lot was cut out
THIS!
exactly! the show doesn’t do her character justice
this happens to both Jon and Dany in the show the worst. Jon is such an amazing character to read. He's an outwardly stoic quiet man and EVERYTHING about him goes on in his head. Its just not possible to show on screen.
"you still need to watch it... for him" awesome haha yes! do it for Robb guys
Around 23 mins in there was a nod to Dunk & Egg - the Hedge Knight (a new prequel show HBO is working on based on GRRM’s trilogy novellas
Best reaction channel by far, love the predictions. Looking forward to see season 4
One of my fav episodes. Anytime I'm really mad I think, " I'm gonna have to eat every chicken in this room!" LoL
I think a lot of people have blinders on when it comes to Shae cause she is mad at Tyrion who we all love. Remember she wanted to leave. He said no. He said he likes this hes good at it etc. He spent season 3 being stepped on. Forced to marry. Given a position he doesnt like. Not recognized for the things he accomplished. He should have left an us as viewers know it
So people are like "she needs to understand his position what did she expect?" She expected the man she loves who made her promise you are mine and I am yours to treat her the same and he doesnt. He chose kings landing over her
There are people in the world who are willing to give up their family for love. And then there are people who are too deeply tied to their family (and/or duty) for that to ever be in the realm of possibility.
Tyrion falls into the latter category.
In a way, it's no different than Rhaenyra being unwilling to run off with Ser Criston.
Or Jon being unwilling to give up the safety of his brothers in the Nights Watch, the North, and the Realm for Ygritte.
To me, it just shows that these characters - Shae, Ser Criston, and Ygritte - were either really naive to think their "loves" would run off with them, or that they didn't know/understand them at all to begin with...
I don't think the problem is that Sansa doesn't think tyrion is a good guy, I think the Problem is that her father, her mother and all her brothers have died (to her knowledge) and that she hasnt seen arya since the day robert died
Book-Sansa's doesn't like anyone who is ugly.
And Book-Tyrion is ugly (Unlike Peter, Tyrion was never particularly handsome to being with, and then his nose was completely cut off during the Battle of the Blackwater.)
Even at this point, she still hasn't fully realized that "beautiful" doesn't = good and "ugly" doesn't = bad.
It blows my mind how Jon fanboys say that Dany is a one dimensional character like he is the most bland character in the entire GoT universe. He is the most predictable character (Jon= always right in their eyes) and calling her rude but would never say that about any male characters that have said far worse. Its funny to them when other characters talk crazy but expect Dany to be humble and obedient? Shes a Queen, thats how she should be. The double standards are insane among the GoT fandom.
*****SPOILER for later GOT seasons***** That is why I hate the mad queen ending for Dany, it makes no sense. People say they could see it coming when she was being mean or ruthless, but she hasn't been anymore ruthless than Jon or any other character in the show has been. I don't know if that will be her ending in the books and I'm sure if it is, it will be better written. But I think how much people will give shit to Dany for acting a certain way but praise the guys in the show for doing similar things is so such a double standard.
Queen, beautiful, unburned, she brought 3 dragons into the world (after 100 years without one)... she's too "humble" if you ask me, can you imagine Cersei or Joffrey with those characteristics. Yep, imagine it!
It’s a fictional character, you don’t need to get so pressed and defend someone who doesn’t exist
@@brtntv9446 That is usually how it works when you are into something and enjoy the IP. You like to theorize, talk about it, etc. Many people have spent lots of years reading these books, watching the show. I doubt think anyone is pressed.

Some *juicy* predictions here. Love to see it.
That's interesting that you compared the Tyrells to the Hightowers. If I'm not mistaken in the History of Westeros, House Tyrell used to be bannermen for House Hightower. But their ancestors played the game well and now they're the 2nd richest house in Westeros
The current Tyrrell heirs, Lores and Margaery, are half Hightowers (through their mother). And the Hightowers themselves were under the Tyrrells.
The Tyrells were stewards to the former Kings of the Reach, House Gardener.
Like the Starks in the North, the Gardners were of the First Men and had ruled the Reach since the Age of Heroes.
House Gardener stood against Aegon the Conquerer and his sister-wives and were essentially exterminated (like House Durrandon in the Stormlands and House Hoare of the Isles and Riverlands, who built Harrenhal). Then the Targs promoted House Tyrell to Lord Paramount of the Reach (and House Tully in the Riverlands and House Baratheon in the Stormlands).
Dawg it's so obvious through this whole series Drogon is Dany favorite child. She loves Viseryon and Rhaegar but that huge black and red demon is her favorite.
Shae totally 'gets it', she's just understandably not happy about being the side piece and having to clean the main chick's chamberpot lmao
Hahaha. I just love your reactions❤ you guy are too much fun! Your reaction to Arya-hound duo was so good❤
What a great episode!
You can do it Mckay 😂stay strong!
all im gonna say is some of those predictions are cooking. especially one of you in particular

Random fun book fact that has no bearing on the plot: Jaime comments on Cersei drinking more than she used to. In the books she starts getting chunky but instead of thinking she needs to lose some weight she thinks her handmaidens are secretly making her dresses smaller and considers having them whipped, because of course she does, she's Cersei. The show people didn't ask the Cersei actress to gain weight over such a small plot point, but its still kinda fun trivia imo.
Least paranoid Cersei:
They did mentioned Ser Criston Cole from the white book. In the books, Jamie and Ser Loras talk about the white brothers before then and Jamie specifically talks about Criston Cole The kingmaker. So, cannon you need to read the books to enjoy those conversations. and they are really good.
Another mention from cannon, the horse that the hound and arya have is called stranger and it was insanely huge and strong and loyal to hound. you really should read the books man you're gonna love it. i wish they had made 13 seasons like GRRM suggested. and the books had all the material for it.
And the fun begins
Season FOURRRRR let’s goooooo. 10/10
