If Joffrey had confronted him on the battlefield, Stannis might have died of uncontrollable laughter at such a ridiculous sight. Of course, in a direct confrontation, upon seeing Stannis, Joffrey would have also died of explosive bowel evacuation.
Fun fact, Stannis castrates any man in his army found to be a rapist so Cersei was wrong at least about the noble women, some men might be stupid enough to rape commoners and some won't get caught but nobles? They would definitely be caught. as for Sansa Stannis doesn't want her harmed specifically as Ned Stark was basically his only supporter in King's Landing.
Jerek Headrick But that's in the books that is not known in the show , however clearly stannis isn't the kind of man who let's his men rape or kill unarmed women
Again, I'm not a fan of Stannis, but I have to give him credit. For a king in a battle to be the first one in a boat, first one to touch land, first one to the wall, and first one up a ladder... wow. *claps*
Idk if you caught that Sansa was watching the doll Ned gave her, when she was alone in her bedroom, just before Sandor Clegane met with her. She’s hugging the last gift her father found for her, probably remembering how awful she was to him when he offered her the doll.
That being said, I feel tons of sympathy for Sansa for many things that happen to her after Ned's death. But her attitude beforehand still boils my blood.
Exactly, cut her some slack! She was a child whose beloved pet was killed for no reason at all. People grow very close to their pets, I imagine Lady was like family to her. The first family she lost to a senseless death.
"I want Stannis to win, but I don't want tyrion to get hurt; I don't want Sansa to die." And that, my friends, is what makes this show truly great. They somehow find some way to squeeze some empathy out of you for characters that you would expect to be completely on the good side or completely on the evil side.
Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) is said by everyone on set to be the nicest person there; compassionate, very intelligent, well-read and charming. He may play the character so well because he's the polar opposite. IRL.
If you didn't notice, as Cersei tries to kill her son and Tywin steps in, before him, you see Loras Tyrell, the brother of Margery, that implies that the Tyrells did join the Lannisters instead of Stannis Baratheon after he killed Renly Baratheon, which House Tyrell was loyal to before the assassination.
It’s very quick when you see Loras I never even noticed until I rewatched. Tyrell motto should be “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” in this episode. Loras is revengeful regarded Renlys shadow monster murder.
@@SelvesteSand i'm a little late, but a friend who read the books told me that Loras was wearing Renlys armour to confuse ennemies on the battle and make them think it was the ghost of Renly
If I’m not mistaken, this was the most expensive episode ever for a television show at the time it was aired. The producers had to convince HBO to put so much money into it. But it paid off, most consider this episode the moment the show ascended to epic status.
When Sansa went to her room (and got surprised by the hound), did you catch what it was that she went to her room to get? The one item she wanted to keep with her to keep from loosing it when the place got sacked? It was that doll that Ned had given her, the one she had disdained at the time. This episode is so full of little details like that, I love it.
When Cersei was telling Tommen before she was going to poison him about the Stags, wolves, lions, bears, beast in the sea and birds in the sky all coming for them. Thats all in relation all the houses sigils. Stags (baratheon) Wolf (stark) Lions (Lannister) Bear (Mormont) Beast in sea (Greyjoy) Birds in sky (Arryn).Not saying you didn't get this, but a lot of people don't pick up on this symbolism until they usually rewatch the show. Just figured in case you hear this type of figure of speech in the future its in relation to the houses in the show
Age Of The Witch I would love to meet him one day and shake his hand in thanks for giving us one of the best performances on the face of the planet... Oh, and Peter Dinklage as well... Gotta give some love to Tyrion...
@@Heyitsmehyuppp well stannis would probably burn them alive, don't get me wrong I love stannis but Tommen and myrcella (shes in dorne of course) are some of the most innocent children in the entire series. Death by poison would probably be the best.
If you mean Sansa, it's because his house killed her father, fighting her brother, attacked her house and she's a hostage. Tyrion isn't Peter Dinklage in the books ( picture more Quasimodo ), and he's still a Lannister. Sansa isn't a physical fighter but she can get some good zingers in.
Gandhi Always Leaves an Onion, she doesn't see the Tyrion we see. She thinks that all of the Lannisters are the same, I don't really blame her for that. She says it because she doesn't wish anyone a safe return. She hopes that they die. She doesn't see the Tyrion that we get to see. She thinks he's just as bad as Cersei and Joffrey.
The episode that shows you exactly why Stannis is the Mannis. Also, take note who slashed at Tyrion, it was one of Joffrey's Kingsguard. Now, why would they do that? 🤔
You can see the progression on Steven's face he is now REALLY Into the show , those Reactions are only getting better and better ! And yes Steven Stannis is definitely brave and a hardcore leader !
Age of the Witch - yes indeed, but also love that Nikki is totally feeling the thrill of tragedy Vs. victory, she's totally grown into being a GoT fan, too! :)
This is the episode where I went: okay, Game of Thrones is on ANOTHER LEVEL and was my favorite episode up til that point. This is a TV show guys. A TV show.
Back in 2011 I was hesitant... I was like, oh c'mon not another epic fantasy, I've already seen too much of Lord of the Rings already. I would have set myself on Wildfire if I decided not to watch it since it became one of the most important things in my life. And soon I'm gonna read all the books in chronological order, starting with "The World of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones". It's like Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Stannis' plan was to overwhelm kings landings defenses because they have superior numbers. It was a plan that would have worked very easily if not for the wildfire.
Did they pick up on the armoured person who attacked Tyrion being a member of the king's guard? Therefore the death was ordered by either Cersei or Joffrey
I know it's been months since the comment but since it was never confirmed on the show I am assuming it was Ser Mandon Moore's personal vendetta for Ser Vardis Egen's death at Bronn's hand in the trial by combat back in season 1 and Joffrey and Cersei had nothing to do with it.
@@frebuf Ser Mandon Moore has no friends. Only his sword. He lives only to serve. He takes orders only from the royal family. It's a pretty clear open and shut case. It was Joffrey or Cersei. Cersei denied her involvement but remains silent when Tyrion asks her about Joffrey. It's one or the other
I love that song that Bronn and his men were singing in the tavern and we later hear over the closing credits, "The Rains of Castamere". Tyrion was whistling it when he arrived in King's Landing in the first episode of the season.
"those are brave men knocking at our door...lets go kill them!" thats what i think anytime someone rings my doorbell when im trying to take a nap..lol! stannis chopped a guys head in half...it would have been hilarious to see joffery try. yeah the hound has some serious PTSD when fire is involved
Jack Gleeson's portrayal of Joffrey is in fact quite skillful. He makes excellent use of body language. Case in point: Take a look closely at how he actually sits on the Iron Throne. That slumped back exaggerated relaxed posture tends to subtly influence your perception of him. Imagine how different your perception of him would be if he was sitting on the throne with a perfectly straight back. It'd be different right? Well, at least until the point he opens his mouth to speak anyway. ;) Anyway, it's little uses of body language like that which really make me appreciate Jack's approach to the role. I might despise the character, but the actor in this cast should certainly be appreciated.
Aw I think you missed one of my favorite Sansa moments with Tyrion, when she says: "I will pray for your safe return, my lord" "Will you?" "Just as I pray for the King's" *Tyrion smirks* I love that moment because it shows off both Sansa's sass and how Tyrion can appreciate a barbed yet intelligent insult xd Courtesy is a lady's armor, after all.
''...and now the rain, weep o'er his halls with not a soul to hear'' you can love him or hate him but you cant deny Tywin lannister is one heck of a badass!!
To clarify because I didn't get it the first time I saw it too: Tywin came with Loras (that's the brother of Margaery, they both were with Renly before he died) and the troops of the Reach. Maybe you remember Littlefinger talking to Margaery before, asking her if she still wanted to become queen. So now it looks like they made some kind of deal with Tywin, that's why they were there to help defend Kings Landing.
Excellent job of capturing the essence of everything in this episode. In the past it seemed impossible for reactors to do that. Masterful editing skills certainly prevailed! Thank you guys so much for that! Volume was very good and reaction was awesome as usual. If you guys keep this up you will certainly become legends in the GoT community. Thank goodness also for all of the moderators who take out the trash, too!!!! I can't thank you enough for the consistency, quality, receptivity, enthusiasm, balance, logic that you two bring. Again, thank you!!!
They will definitely get even more deeper into it can't wait it's such a magical journey to witness . Thank you very much for acknowledging our efforts we do try as hard as we possibly can to keep any and all types of spoilers away from them because we care as much as everyone does about their raw unspoiled feelings thoughts & conclusions and all the viewers as well wouldn't imagine them being happy about an expected reaction thanks again a bunch you guy's comments are why we tolerate all those other sucky ass spoiler comments . Cheers hope you are having a wonderful day .
Steven and I are sitting here reading this comment together about to watch episode 10, this made our night!!! Thank you for acknowledging....Steven puts a ton of effort trying to tell a story of the episode through our reactions. Comments like these make long nights totally worth it! Thank you - Nikki and Steven
Nikki & Steven React You guys once again are worth it. The bottom line is that you two LISTEN and RESPOND. There are channels that do everything else, BUT that and then complain!!!! They get upset about the standard set. We as an audience, a community and individually deserve better and I am glad we are finally getting it from you guys!!! Bravo!!!
In a typical fantasy series, the handsome, blonde-haired Prince Charming normally is the good guy while his old Uncle who broods in a dark tower while planning to usurp the throne is the bad guy. However, in Game of Thrones, we are actually rooting for the "Prince Charming" to die and the Uncle to become king. Love how Game of Thrones subverts audience expectations.
Jack Gleason is the actor that plays Joffrey. Everyone loved him on set apparently, he's totally the opposite of what his Joffrey character portrays they said...I mean, you'd hope. haha. Fun Fact: Joffrey is also the kid in Batman Begins.
Congrats on 20k and I just wanna let yall know just in case that HBO has an agreement of 10 mins of footage per video but they allow you do to 2 parts of 10 minutes each incase your reaction amount goes over 10 minutes
KingInTheNorth 12 Yes I have made a suggestion to Nikki that might make that possible , if they found it works for them . It would be great to get to see more of them it feels quicker now that we are enjoying them so much .
In most cases they just only copyright claim it, in the worst case they block it but that almost never happends. But indeed they can use two parts of 10 minutes. I like to do it myself :-)
Age of the Witch I really hope they do. As we know (no spoilers) some of the episodes, particularly in the later seasons, become so complex with so many vital scenes that editing it down to ten minutes and still doing it justice would be impossible. I've seen lots of reactors do three-parters even. I think Hogwarts even did a four-parter for one episode.
Just remembered Nikki's comment in beginning of the first episode : A Child is nailed to a 🌲 tree am out .. Vs her comment at the end of this episode But Joffery is Still Alive Damn it 👌🤧😂 #TheSideEffectsOfGOTAreComing #ItIsKnown
Fun fact: The actress playing the girl that was sitting on Bron's lap in the one scene is a genuine porn star (Sahara Knite). Also, the actress playing Shae (Sibel Kekilli) is a former porn star.
I can easily envisage you guys climbing over 100+ thousand subs, as you continue to grow. You have the kind of personalities that people will naturally gravitate towards. It's just a question of when those new subs will discover your videos, as to how fast you achieve these milestones. Picking popular, well-liked shows to react to, helps people discover your channel, and you're certainly doing that right now. Long may your success continue!
GOT fans are loyal and yes, supportive and protective of this show. But we also like people who are appreciative of this show, people who are as engaging and sweet as any who have reacted to this show. Love you guys.
Man I LOVE Stannis! His dry humour is hilarious, he has some savage one line insults, the guy has no fear, was the only character on the show I thought actually looked and acted Kingly, and he was first off the boat and up the ladders during the battle of the Blackwater. Stannis the god damn mannis
13:09 I think that Stannis had a pretty solid plan. He just didn't anticipate over half of his fleet being destroyed in one fell swoop before they even touched ground. I don't think most people would, lol.
MORRRRRNNNNNIIIIINNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! I was waiting for you guys to get here! This battle was fantastically executed. I remember watching this the first time. I had my mouth covered and I was scootched up to the edge of my seat.
Oriusrdm, I agree...these two are great. They're the only reactors I follow and even pay for their patrion. They do 3-4 GoT Episodes during the week and they react to West World during weekends.
Hi you two, great react as always. Impressive that you both picked out on some subtle details that a lot of people missed out on their first viewing. Steven predicted the "pigshit" and Nikki astutely deduced about how the Hound had PTSD when exposed to so much fire. That said you both missed out the biggest implication of what happened to Tyrion. Remember the Lannisters unofficial house motto "A Lannister always pays his debts". The show never really delved into this in detail either but Tyrion getting cut shouldn't be the focus here. It's who did the slicing. Notice he wore a particular set of impressive armor. Steven is also right, whether you like him or hate him, Stannis Baratheon walks the walk when he says he's the rightful king. Arrives on the first wave to the beach, first one up the ladder. The man is a straight up G compared to that sorry excuse for a boy in Joffrey.
Just wanted to say Congrats on reaching 20k. Really appreciate all the time and effort you guys put in. Only been a sub for less than a month but have pretty much watched all your previous reactions. You guys are awesome! Keep up the GREAT work!
What a great reaction. You deserve more than 20k subscribers. Loras Tyrell was wearing Renlys armor. Did you notice? I'm not sure if you missed the part that the Tyrells joined Tywin to save Kingslanding. Littlefinger arranged this alliance when Renly died and Loras agreed for revenge.
bratsmovies17 She was awesome in The Sarah Connor Chronicles! At times parts of the show didn't quite do it for me but overall it was fun and really got good toward the end. Wish they had gone a couple more seasons. Lena's performance was beautiful. She played the role as complex as possible with what she was given. Really brought something believable just like she does with Cersei.
Ahh, and congrats on the 20k subscribers! I'm happy the GOT family welcome you well and that you're being able to enjoy such a great TV Show. It's always a great ride, not matter if we are watching new seasons or past seasons, and we like to welcome more people on board.
The Wildfire is inspired by a real weapon used by the Byzantine Empire, named "Greek Fire". It was a mixture of oil and various other things that you could not put out, you had to wait for the fire to die by itself once everything was consumed. The recipe of that mixture was so secret that we do not know what it was, it disapeared after the empire was conquered. As for the siege in itself, Stannis had few men, but it was the max he could get. Not enough to besiege a long time, so he had to assault the walls. And he did not think about Wildfire (since the alchemist's guild is supposed to have vanished after Aeris' death). He was hoping to take advantage of his superior fleet.
Congrats for reaching 20K subscribers! 🎉🥂 You deserve it! Did you notice that the guy who sliced Tyrion’s face was Sir Manson Moore, the Kingsguard that Joffrey left behind ‘to represent the king on the battlefield’? So, someone from his own side tried to murder him. Who is behind it?
It's SO fun hearing you guys parse the events of each episode, with me knowing what happens. Makes me wish I watched the first few seasons unspoiled myself. :) Happy viewing for the both of us!
I'm happy for your 20k subs! I'm glad to be part of them, i joined when you had 12k. Game of throne is giving you a lot of visibility and we love your reaction. I can tell that you are very emotionnal people, like me, so i found myself in your reaction. Have a nice day, and remember, the night is dark and full of terror.
Hey! Thank you so much! Yeah it's so crazy, we had no idea this would bring so many people to the channel. But it's this amazing show!!! We love it! - Nikki
You hit 20k Yesterday That is awesome Wouldn't you say? Hooray Hooray I really appreciate all these awesome videos you keep putting out. Thanks again ☺❤😎😊
Some food for thought. Some reactors to this show do 1 episode but split into 2 parts. Putting 10 minutes into part 1 and 10 minutes into part 2. They didn't get a copyright strike because it's still only 10 minutes per video. Js. Love the reactions by the way!!!
Congrats on 20k. There is a reason why you're there. It's not just because you're doing GoT (although that helps), it's because you two have great chemistry, a consistent schedule, catch most everything that you see, and have natural realistic reactions. Basically you're doing everything on the checklist of what we, as reactor watchers, want. Kudos. Keep on keeping on.
Hey, thank you! Best comment! We really appreciate when the hard work gets noticed. Like really really appreciate it! Doing this youtube thing is fun, but comments like this make it so much more worth it! - Nikki
It's obvious when mentioned, but this episode only covered one location - Kings Landing. No other episode to this point is like this one, as they jump around to many locations to continue the multiple stories.
Can't believe that another season finale is up next! You are going through the seasons so quickly, and I am loving every second of taking this amazing journey again through your reactions. I hope to see you reacting to other amazing shows that I love after this is over, because I love your reactions, and would love to take the journey through many more shows with you!
Thanks to y'all for what y'all do. It's really appreciated. Congratulations on 20k subscribers!😊 Couldn't happen to nicer people. Keep up the great work and looking forward to watching season finale with y'all. Take care and have a blessed day.
"That's why Stannis is the true king" THAT'S RIGHT!! MANNIS is the one true king!! I was dying for you two to get to this one, such an incredible episode!! PS Congrats on the Walking Dead fan reaction vid! That was awesome seeing you two on there!
19:14 My heart dropped when I saw Tyrion's face in that scene, Tyrion is one of my fave Characters in any show ever, and so that really broke my heart. That wildfire though.... EPIC!!!
Happy 20K! Congratulations! I'm sure you'll be at 50k soon because you guys are very charismatic, fun to watch, and Game of Thrones fans will sniff you out.
I wait for your videos everyday now since I joined the stikkers club yesterday, two days ago binged all of your game of thrones and stranger things reactions, you guys are just so entertaining!
I have two questions for you guys (although Steven already answered one). Last season Tywin told Tyrion to "Bring that boy to heel, and his mother too, if need be." when appointing Tyrion as Acting Hand of the King. Do you think Tywin can fulfill his own instruction, now that he's in Kings Landing? Did either of you notice who arrived at the battle with Tywin's forces? I'll even give it a hint... Renly's armor was seen riding in, full with antlers on the helmet. I believe in the books people were frightened, thinking they were seeing Renly's ghost riding in.
Congrats on the 20k! You guys are awesome! It made me want to watch the episodes from the start for the 10000 times! It’s still amazing and love watching it with newbies to GoT :) love your reactions! And your comments are on point :) I’ll keep watching with you guys :)
The song played after the episode, I highly suggest listening to it. It’s a song about a great Lannister victory over the House of Rains called the Rains of Castemere. It signifies a great Lannister victory and at the end of this episode it’s being sung by the actor playing Bronn who has his own band.

Age Of The Witch absolutely!!! ✋🏽👊🏾🤾🏽♀️🤺🏋🏾♀️
The actor that got his leg chopped of by Tyrion, was already an amputee with a prostetic. just a fun fact.
Maikey
Nice one didn't know that thanks
I thought it was a random crew member not an actor?
If Joffrey had confronted him on the battlefield, Stannis might have died of uncontrollable laughter at such a ridiculous sight. Of course, in a direct confrontation, upon seeing Stannis, Joffrey would have also died of explosive bowel evacuation.
HAHA too funny! I would love either one of those scenes
Stannis doesn't smile
@@advays9815 If anyone could manage to actually laugh without smiling, it would probably be Stannis.
Honestly shocking cause whether he was Jaime’s son or Robert’s Joffrey should have been a great warrior.
Joffrey would fuck him up
Fun fact, Stannis castrates any man in his army found to be a rapist so Cersei was wrong at least about the noble women, some men might be stupid enough to rape commoners and some won't get caught but nobles? They would definitely be caught. as for Sansa Stannis doesn't want her harmed specifically as Ned Stark was basically his only supporter in King's Landing.
Jerek Headrick
But that's in the books that is not known in the show , however clearly stannis isn't the kind of man who let's his men rape or kill unarmed women
Age Of The Witch All on the books it's the same in the series until the show give it's own explanation about it
He got that from the OG King’s younger brother Daemon the rogue prince
Stannis the Mannis.
Again, I'm not a fan of Stannis, but I have to give him credit. For a king in a battle to be the first one in a boat, first one to touch land, first one to the wall, and first one up a ladder... wow. *claps*
And had to be physically dragged off the battlefield
everyone loves stannis, i never liked him either
He is the Mannis
Bend the knee or get destroyed!!
One of the best episodes of the show, written by George RR Martin himself
HaliniSnow
Definitely.
Im pretty sure he wrote all the books.
Mark Cruz 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
THE CRAZY GUY
This season is VERY UNDERRATED even tho it sets pace for many important events to come!!
White Wolf i was being sarcastic
Idk if you caught that Sansa was watching the doll Ned gave her, when she was alone in her bedroom, just before Sandor Clegane met with her. She’s hugging the last gift her father found for her, probably remembering how awful she was to him when he offered her the doll.
I hope she was remembering how awful she was to him! Grrrrr
That being said, I feel tons of sympathy for Sansa for many things that happen to her after Ned's death. But her attitude beforehand still boils my blood.
hammertapping
It was ordered to execute Lady! Better Ned than Sir Illen Payne!
Jay Bird right. Ned wanted to make sure that it would be quick and humane. And it obviously broke his heart to do it.
Exactly, cut her some slack! She was a child whose beloved pet was killed for no reason at all. People grow very close to their pets, I imagine Lady was like family to her. The first family she lost to a senseless death.
"I want Stannis to win, but I don't want tyrion to get hurt; I don't want Sansa to die."
And that, my friends, is what makes this show truly great. They somehow find some way to squeeze some empathy out of you for characters that you would expect to be completely on the good side or completely on the evil side.
If he won,he would kill tyrion,cersei, joffrey and tommen. But he wouldn't kill sansa.
Characters being completely good or completely evil is what ruins most tb shows.
Dude imagine if Stannis and Renly had a truce this battle would’ve been in their favor from the start.
Honestly, I was rooting for the Lannisters at this point. I HATED Stannis and Tyrion leading the armies was so badass.
That’s what I like about this show (seasons 1-4 at least) is that it isn’t just good vs evil. There’s good people and bad people on both sides.
Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) is said by everyone on set to be the nicest person there; compassionate, very intelligent, well-read and charming. He may play the character so well because he's the polar opposite. IRL.
Angela S He has also been said to do some method acting on set lol portrayed beautifully in a back stage video by Maisie Arya it's hyterical
Ha, really? Link, link! :)
Dude is actually super awesome. Feel bad so many hate him because of Joffrey
If you didn't notice, as Cersei tries to kill her son and Tywin steps in, before him, you see Loras Tyrell, the brother of Margery, that implies that the Tyrells did join the Lannisters instead of Stannis Baratheon after he killed Renly Baratheon, which House Tyrell was loyal to before the assassination.
Mykon ✔️👌
It’s very quick when you see Loras I never even noticed until I rewatched. Tyrell motto should be “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” in this episode. Loras is revengeful regarded Renlys shadow monster murder.
Also, Loras is wearing Renly's armour!
@@SelvesteSand i cant😢

Alex Deleon I think, don't quote me on this, that they've broken that record since.
When Sansa went to her room (and got surprised by the hound), did you catch what it was that she went to her room to get? The one item she wanted to keep with her to keep from loosing it when the place got sacked? It was that doll that Ned had given her, the one she had disdained at the time. This episode is so full of little details like that, I love it.
missed that
When Cersei was telling Tommen before she was going to poison him about the Stags, wolves, lions, bears, beast in the sea and birds in the sky all coming for them. Thats all in relation all the houses sigils. Stags (baratheon) Wolf (stark) Lions (Lannister) Bear (Mormont) Beast in sea (Greyjoy) Birds in sky (Arryn).Not saying you didn't get this, but a lot of people don't pick up on this symbolism until they usually rewatch the show. Just figured in case you hear this type of figure of speech in the future its in relation to the houses in the show
This.

✔️👌❤️
Ser Elryk ?!
She didn't mention the most dangerous one though!
I had heard that Jack Gleeson (the actor that portrays Joffrey) is so nice in real life... Just shows his amazing skill and talent to play a twerp...
Bill Stephens
I met him he is insanely underrated !!! Sweetest funniest sharpest guy!
Age Of The Witch
I would love to meet him one day and shake his hand in thanks for giving us one of the best performances on the face of the planet... Oh, and Peter Dinklage as well... Gotta give some love to Tyrion...
My man Tywin looking heroic as hell. Shame he couldn't have waited for Cersei to poison herself.
Pigeon but she would've poisoned Tommen first and he's too much of a sweetheart to go out that way...
@@Heyitsmehyuppp well stannis would probably burn them alive, don't get me wrong I love stannis but Tommen and myrcella (shes in dorne of course) are some of the most innocent children in the entire series. Death by poison would probably be the best.
"I will pray for your safe return, my Lord. Just as I pray for the King's"
Yeah Steve was talking over that diss.
Ive always been confused why she says that to him
If you mean Sansa, it's because his house killed her father, fighting her brother, attacked her house and she's a hostage.
Tyrion isn't Peter Dinklage in the books ( picture more Quasimodo ), and he's still a Lannister.
Sansa isn't a physical fighter but she can get some good zingers in.
Gandhi Always Leaves an Onion, she doesn't see the Tyrion we see. She thinks that all of the Lannisters are the same, I don't really blame her for that. She says it because she doesn't wish anyone a safe return. She hopes that they die. She doesn't see the Tyrion that we get to see. She thinks he's just as bad as Cersei and Joffrey.
Allyson Wonderland
and at that point who blames her .
The episode that shows you exactly why Stannis is the Mannis. Also, take note who slashed at Tyrion, it was one of Joffrey's Kingsguard. Now, why would they do that? 🤔
You can see the progression on Steven's face he is now REALLY Into the show , those Reactions are only getting better and better ! And yes Steven Stannis is definitely brave and a hardcore leader !
Age of the Witch - yes indeed, but also love that Nikki is totally feeling the thrill of tragedy Vs. victory, she's totally grown into being a GoT fan, too! :)
Neil Griffiths She started as fragile as Sansa and turning quickly to a ruthless queen ;).
Age of the witch - SHE'S DANAERYS STORMBORN!!! Aaaargh!... ;)
I had a vision I saw 200k subscriptions in the Flames , the 🔥Lord of light has willed it .
willed?
Meme explorer stupid autocorrect was on!! Thanks am not 5 i can spell lol
It'd be cool to see that happen.
Double check it with the Summer Islands fertility goddess who has 16 teets.
Already 200 more than yesterday! I hope the Lord has done his math right. :)
Nikki joins the Stannis the Mannis club.

Napalm38382 Wait... what? Someone actually being non-hostile and a good sport about it? Wow... @_@
Shocker :p
i rather not
Welcome! We have cookies and beer!
This is the episode where I went: okay, Game of Thrones is on ANOTHER LEVEL and was my favorite episode up til that point.
This is a TV show guys.
A TV show.
Southern Trend Productions
Still blows my mind to this min!
Back in 2011 I was hesitant... I was like, oh c'mon not another epic fantasy, I've already seen too much of Lord of the Rings already.
I would have set myself on Wildfire if I decided not to watch it since it became one of the most important things in my life.
And soon I'm gonna read all the books in chronological order, starting with "The World of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones". It's like Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Stannis' plan was to overwhelm kings landings defenses because they have superior numbers. It was a plan that would have worked very easily if not for the wildfire.
D-Day objective with wildfire complications
Did they pick up on the armoured person who attacked Tyrion being a member of the king's guard? Therefore the death was ordered by either Cersei or Joffrey
thank you i was trying to figure out what was going on
I know it's been months since the comment but since it was never confirmed on the show I am assuming it was Ser Mandon Moore's personal vendetta for Ser Vardis Egen's death at Bronn's hand in the trial by combat back in season 1 and Joffrey and Cersei had nothing to do with it.
@@frebuf Na that's not the reason. He did that because he was ordered to do so.
@@eyegaiminhd It's never confirmed anywhere on the show or the books so it's up to personal interpretation until Martin confirms it.
@@frebuf Ser Mandon Moore has no friends. Only his sword. He lives only to serve. He takes orders only from the royal family. It's a pretty clear open and shut case. It was Joffrey or Cersei. Cersei denied her involvement but remains silent when Tyrion asks her about Joffrey. It's one or the other
I love that song that Bronn and his men were singing in the tavern and we later hear over the closing credits, "The Rains of Castamere". Tyrion was whistling it when he arrived in King's Landing in the first episode of the season.
Stannis is a true commander,
1st to climb out the boat
1st to get on shore,
1st to climb up the ladder
Last one to leave the Battlefield!
"STAND AND FIGHT, DAMN YOU! NOOOO!"
"those are brave men knocking at our door...lets go kill them!" thats what i think anytime someone rings my doorbell when im trying to take a nap..lol! stannis chopped a guys head in half...it would have been hilarious to see joffery try. yeah the hound has some serious PTSD when fire is involved
My favorite Tyrion speech 👌💥💥💥
darthrevan4570
Ps. That's what I think when anyone knocks on the door period !! 👌😂
Jack Gleeson's portrayal of Joffrey is in fact quite skillful. He makes excellent use of body language. Case in point: Take a look closely at how he actually sits on the Iron Throne. That slumped back exaggerated relaxed posture tends to subtly influence your perception of him. Imagine how different your perception of him would be if he was sitting on the throne with a perfectly straight back. It'd be different right? Well, at least until the point he opens his mouth to speak anyway. ;) Anyway, it's little uses of body language like that which really make me appreciate Jack's approach to the role. I might despise the character, but the actor in this cast should certainly be appreciated.
What am amazing victory for King Joffrey Baratheon. Truly an amazing king. His leadership saved the city!
Mark Riedel lmao he was so valiant. Has anyone ever seen a greater hero?
Love watching you guys! It’s like seeing GoT for the first time again lol
Few things as cool as the silence of the flaming arrow followed by a MASSIVE GREEN EXPLOSION! Lol
WTD Productions - " Like an atomic explosion!" - yup, awesome...
Aw I think you missed one of my favorite Sansa moments with Tyrion, when she says:
"I will pray for your safe return, my lord"
"Will you?"
"Just as I pray for the King's"
*Tyrion smirks*
I love that moment because it shows off both Sansa's sass and how Tyrion can appreciate a barbed yet intelligent insult xd Courtesy is a lady's armor, after all.
"What ship is Stanos on?"
"When I'm done, half of Kings Landing will still be alive" - Stanos, Infinity War
LOL - Nikki
Not sure if you noticed but the man who cut tyrions face was a member of Joffreys kingsguard. They were meant to be on the same team
''...and now the rain, weep o'er his halls
with not a soul to hear''
you can love him or hate him but you cant deny Tywin lannister is one heck of a badass!!
You guys run my life right now. I live for these reactions. So much love for The Hound in this episode.
To clarify because I didn't get it the first time I saw it too:
Tywin came with Loras (that's the brother of Margaery, they both were with Renly before he died) and the troops of the Reach. Maybe you remember Littlefinger talking to Margaery before, asking her if she still wanted to become queen. So now it looks like they made some kind of deal with Tywin, that's why they were there to help defend Kings Landing.
Definitely good to point out, I think that's one of the most obscure details of the entire show and most people certainly miss it!
Loras with the epic hair shake out of his helmet!
and Loras was wearing Renly's armor
Excellent job of capturing the essence of everything in this episode. In the past it seemed impossible for reactors to do that. Masterful editing skills certainly prevailed! Thank you guys so much for that! Volume was very good and reaction was awesome as usual. If you guys keep this up you will certainly become legends in the GoT community. Thank goodness also for all of the moderators who take out the trash, too!!!! I can't thank you enough for the consistency, quality, receptivity, enthusiasm, balance, logic that you two bring. Again, thank you!!!
They will definitely get even more deeper into it can't wait it's such a magical journey to witness . Thank you very much for acknowledging our efforts we do try as hard as we possibly can to keep any and all types of spoilers away from them because we care as much as everyone does about their raw unspoiled feelings thoughts & conclusions and all the viewers as well wouldn't imagine them being happy about an expected reaction thanks again a bunch you guy's comments are why we tolerate all those other sucky ass spoiler comments . Cheers hope you are having a wonderful day .
Steven and I are sitting here reading this comment together about to watch episode 10, this made our night!!! Thank you for acknowledging....Steven puts a ton of effort trying to tell a story of the episode through our reactions. Comments like these make long nights totally worth it! Thank you - Nikki and Steven
Nikki & Steven React You guys once again are worth it. The bottom line is that you two LISTEN and RESPOND. There are channels that do everything else, BUT that and then complain!!!! They get upset about the standard set. We as an audience, a community and individually deserve better and I am glad we are finally getting it from you guys!!! Bravo!!!
In a typical fantasy series, the handsome, blonde-haired Prince Charming normally is the good guy while his old Uncle who broods in a dark tower while planning to usurp the throne is the bad guy. However, in Game of Thrones, we are actually rooting for the "Prince Charming" to die and the Uncle to become king. Love how Game of Thrones subverts audience expectations.
Sacrificial Lamb GRRM is a master at his Craft.
Well it is fairly typical if you think about who the real leads are of the overall story
mmmmmmmmh Jon Snow and Dany are walking tropes though!
May witch Not really. :/
sure!
20k subs! Congrats guys,power of game of thrones lol
@Steven “I don’t know who I’m rooting for!” Lmao 🤣 tell us about it...thank GRRM for being a genius and creating such complex characters ❤️
Jack Gleason is the actor that plays Joffrey. Everyone loved him on set apparently, he's totally the opposite of what his Joffrey character portrays they said...I mean, you'd hope. haha. Fun Fact: Joffrey is also the kid in Batman Begins.
Yeah, I believe Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) described him as "one of the sweetest kids you'd ever meet." (paraphrasing).

Super True from personal experience .
*Congrats on reaching 20k subscribers!*
A Lion still has claws.....
The 20k subs are so deserved! You guys are ridiculously awesome :)
Congrats on 20k and I just wanna let yall know just in case that HBO has an agreement of 10 mins of footage per video but they allow you do to 2 parts of 10 minutes each incase your reaction amount goes over 10 minutes
KingInTheNorth 12
Yes I have made a suggestion to Nikki that might make that possible , if they found it works for them . It would be great to get to see more of them it feels quicker now that we are enjoying them so much .
Age Of The Witch yeah also I just dont want their reactions to get blocked or something
They did a 2 part vid for WW S1 finale, so I think they're aware...Hopefully they'll do some for the big GoT eps.
In most cases they just only copyright claim it, in the worst case they block it but that almost never happends. But indeed they can use two parts of 10 minutes. I like to do it myself :-)
Age of the Witch I really hope they do. As we know (no spoilers) some of the episodes, particularly in the later seasons, become so complex with so many vital scenes that editing it down to ten minutes and still doing it justice would be impossible. I've seen lots of reactors do three-parters even. I think Hogwarts even did a four-parter for one episode.
Already here! "F the King!" - The Hound xD
eaddok
Popular words 👌😎
Scariest thing he said was how he was going to rape the corpse of any man who died with a clean blade. Because he said it like he meant it.
Just remembered Nikki's comment in beginning of the first episode : A Child is nailed to a 🌲 tree am out .. Vs her comment at the end of this episode But Joffery is Still Alive Damn it 👌🤧😂 #TheSideEffectsOfGOTAreComing #ItIsKnown
Fun fact: The actress playing the girl that was sitting on Bron's lap in the one scene is a genuine porn star (Sahara Knite). Also, the actress playing Shae (Sibel Kekilli) is a former porn star.
I can easily envisage you guys climbing over 100+ thousand subs, as you continue to grow. You have the kind of personalities that people will naturally gravitate towards. It's just a question of when those new subs will discover your videos, as to how fast you achieve these milestones. Picking popular, well-liked shows to react to, helps people discover your channel, and you're certainly doing that right now. Long may your success continue!
I love the guy who plays Joffrey. He's such a sweetheart IRL and he plays the most easily hateable character in existence so perfectly
GOT fans are loyal and yes, supportive and protective of this show. But we also like people who are appreciative of this show, people who are as engaging and sweet as any who have reacted to this show. Love you guys.
Hel Gar
Couldn't agree more ✔️👌
Man I LOVE Stannis! His dry humour is hilarious, he has some savage one line insults, the guy has no fear, was the only character on the show I thought actually looked and acted Kingly, and he was first off the boat and up the ladders during the battle of the Blackwater. Stannis the god damn mannis
Congrats you all deserve it! One of the best reaction channels on RUclips
20K - congrats guys. You deserve it. Thank you for entertaining us. I'm at my own rewatch for the ? time and watching you two react is a joy.
I forget how great Blackwater was. I don't rewatch this episode too often.
Targaryen Wolf
Well watching the Reactions is the most fun way to re-watch them :)
The first episode that made me think to myself.. jesus.. is this a show or a movie i'm watching :P love it!
Yeah this one was a work of art.
PCGaming
👌✔️💥
That Lannister's Theme during Tyrion's speech gives me goosebumps
Tyrion is pure greatness
13:09 I think that Stannis had a pretty solid plan. He just didn't anticipate over half of his fleet being destroyed in one fell swoop before they even touched ground. I don't think most people would, lol.
MORRRRRNNNNNIIIIINNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! I was waiting for you guys to get here! This battle was fantastically executed. I remember watching this the first time. I had my mouth covered and I was scootched up to the edge of my seat.
49 views, 51 likes. You guys are genuine and I think that's why people tend to gravitate to you.
I choked when Steven said “watch your legs” HAHAHAH so funny
Giulia Suniga
I KNOW I spat my tea 😂😂😂😂
I did too, lol! I just imagined Tyrion running around like crazy on a leg severing rampage XD
I just found you guys last week and really enjoy rewatching GoT with you guys, I look forward to a new video every day!
Oriusrdm, I agree...these two are great. They're the only reactors I follow and even pay for their patrion. They do 3-4 GoT Episodes during the week and they react to West World during weekends.
that final song gives me the chills......
That's cause it's awesome =)
S A M E especially this edit . There another vocal edit don't remember the name of the vocal but he has an Angelic voice .
Hi you two, great react as always. Impressive that you both picked out on some subtle details that a lot of people missed out on their first viewing. Steven predicted the "pigshit" and Nikki astutely deduced about how the Hound had PTSD when exposed to so much fire. That said you both missed out the biggest implication of what happened to Tyrion. Remember the Lannisters unofficial house motto "A Lannister always pays his debts". The show never really delved into this in detail either but Tyrion getting cut shouldn't be the focus here. It's who did the slicing. Notice he wore a particular set of impressive armor.
Steven is also right, whether you like him or hate him, Stannis Baratheon walks the walk when he says he's the rightful king. Arrives on the first wave to the beach, first one up the ladder. The man is a straight up G compared to that sorry excuse for a boy in Joffrey.
Just wanted to say Congrats on reaching 20k. Really appreciate all the time and effort you guys put in. Only been a sub for less than a month but have pretty much watched all your previous reactions. You guys are awesome! Keep up the GREAT work!
What a great reaction. You deserve more than 20k subscribers. Loras Tyrell was wearing Renlys armor. Did you notice?
I'm not sure if you missed the part that the Tyrells joined Tywin to save Kingslanding. Littlefinger arranged this alliance when Renly died and Loras agreed for revenge.
"They should've watched 300"
Well, Lena Headey who plays Cercei played Queen Gorgo in that movie.
Love your reactions, congrats on the 20k suscribers.
ode ssa
She is amazing! Actually she my Mother has alot of similar features lol
Yes, she's a great character!!
She's also Sarah Connor in Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles only lasted one season
bratsmovies17 She was awesome in The Sarah Connor Chronicles! At times parts of the show didn't quite do it for me but overall it was fun and really got good toward the end. Wish they had gone a couple more seasons. Lena's performance was beautiful. She played the role as complex as possible with what she was given. Really brought something believable just like she does with Cersei.
ode ssa, Hector from Westworld is Xerxes too. Not relevant to GoT, I just like the crossover
Ahh, and congrats on the 20k subscribers! I'm happy the GOT family welcome you well and that you're being able to enjoy such a great TV Show. It's always a great ride, not matter if we are watching new seasons or past seasons, and we like to welcome more people on board.
Its a real testament to Jack Gleeson's acting, that he is able to make you HATE Joffrey with every fibre of your being.
100%, such a great actor! - Nikki
The Wildfire is inspired by a real weapon used by the Byzantine Empire, named "Greek Fire". It was a mixture of oil and various other things that you could not put out, you had to wait for the fire to die by itself once everything was consumed. The recipe of that mixture was so secret that we do not know what it was, it disapeared after the empire was conquered.
As for the siege in itself, Stannis had few men, but it was the max he could get. Not enough to besiege a long time, so he had to assault the walls. And he did not think about Wildfire (since the alchemist's guild is supposed to have vanished after Aeris' death). He was hoping to take advantage of his superior fleet.
Congrats for reaching 20K subscribers! 🎉🥂 You deserve it! Did you notice that the guy who sliced Tyrion’s face was Sir Manson Moore, the Kingsguard that Joffrey left behind ‘to represent the king on the battlefield’? So, someone from his own side tried to murder him. Who is behind it?
I have been refreshing my RUclips feed for last 3 hours for this 😊. Congrats for 20k!
It's SO fun hearing you guys parse the events of each episode, with me knowing what happens. Makes me wish I watched the first few seasons unspoiled myself. :) Happy viewing for the both of us!
I'm happy for your 20k subs! I'm glad to be part of them, i joined when you had 12k. Game of throne is giving you a lot of visibility and we love your reaction. I can tell that you are very emotionnal people, like me, so i found myself in your reaction. Have a nice day, and remember, the night is dark and full of terror.
Hey! Thank you so much! Yeah it's so crazy, we had no idea this would bring so many people to the channel. But it's this amazing show!!! We love it! - Nikki
You hit 20k
Yesterday
That is awesome
Wouldn't you say?
Hooray Hooray
I really appreciate all these awesome videos you keep putting out. Thanks again ☺❤😎😊
“Death by fire is the purest death”
not for paganist like me
Nah, I’d prefer to die in my own bed, at the age of 80, with a belly full of wine, and a girl’s mouth around my cock.
Some food for thought.
Some reactors to this show do 1 episode but split into 2 parts.
Putting 10 minutes into part 1 and 10 minutes into part 2.
They didn't get a copyright strike because it's still only 10 minutes per video.
Js.
Love the reactions by the way!!!
Congrats on 20k. There is a reason why you're there. It's not just because you're doing GoT (although that helps), it's because you two have great chemistry, a consistent schedule, catch most everything that you see, and have natural realistic reactions. Basically you're doing everything on the checklist of what we, as reactor watchers, want. Kudos. Keep on keeping on.
Hey, thank you! Best comment! We really appreciate when the hard work gets noticed. Like really really appreciate it! Doing this youtube thing is fun, but comments like this make it so much more worth it! - Nikki
Agree! Such a pleasure to watch my favorite show through fresh eyes.
1 episode every day, you guys are sooooo freaking awesome, just want to say that before I grab a coup of joe and watch this one.
Congrats you guys for hitting the 20k mark you so deserve it, onwards we go & i look forward to the season finale .. much love ;-)
Fun fact: If Arya had named Tywin / if Jaquen had been there, his army would not have arrived, and Stannis would have won.
Mykon ✔️👌
Arya did try name Tywin when he was leaving, but Jaquen said it could not be done.
Out of everything that happened in this episode my favorite part is the Hound telling Joffrey to piss off
Guys, don't hesitate to make MULTIPLE PARTS if you want to show more reactions
Lemuel Non
Yes exactly! They are allowed 10 more min if they make a second part !
Congratulations on 20k! GoT will do it every time!
It's obvious when mentioned, but this episode only covered one location - Kings Landing. No other episode to this point is like this one, as they jump around to many locations to continue the multiple stories.
Can't believe that another season finale is up next! You are going through the seasons so quickly, and I am loving every second of taking this amazing journey again through your reactions.
I hope to see you reacting to other amazing shows that I love after this is over, because I love your reactions, and would love to take the journey through many more shows with you!
Congrats!!! 20.000!!! You deserve this .... and more 😊🥂😊
Thanks to y'all for what y'all do. It's really appreciated. Congratulations on 20k subscribers!😊 Couldn't happen to nicer people. Keep up the great work and looking forward to watching season finale with y'all. Take care and have a blessed day.
Hey Jason, thank you! That's so nice to hear. You have a great day too! - Nikki
"That's why Stannis is the true king" THAT'S RIGHT!! MANNIS is the one true king!!
I was dying for you two to get to this one, such an incredible episode!!
PS Congrats on the Walking Dead fan reaction vid! That was awesome seeing you two on there!
19:14 My heart dropped when I saw Tyrion's face in that scene, Tyrion is one of my fave Characters in any show ever, and so that really broke my heart. That wildfire though.... EPIC!!!
Congratulations on 20k subscribers! You deserve every single one :)
You guys are amazing! Congratulations on 20k, you beautiful dorks!!!
"Stannis is a G!" Welcome to the brotherhood of The Mannis.
El Bruce maybe the book stannis yeah, but the show stannis? Fr? Lol
*Bends the knee*
Happy 20K! Congratulations! I'm sure you'll be at 50k soon because you guys are very charismatic, fun to watch, and Game of Thrones fans will sniff you out.
I wait for your videos everyday now since I joined the stikkers club yesterday, two days ago binged all of your game of thrones and stranger things reactions, you guys are just so entertaining!
Welcome to the family!!!! We appreciate the support.
This is arguably the greatest episode in all of GoT. The POV chapters in A Clash of Kings during the Blackwater are pretty immense too.
I have two questions for you guys (although Steven already answered one).
Last season Tywin told Tyrion to "Bring that boy to heel, and his mother too, if need be." when appointing Tyrion as Acting Hand of the King. Do you think Tywin can fulfill his own instruction, now that he's in Kings Landing?
Did either of you notice who arrived at the battle with Tywin's forces? I'll even give it a hint... Renly's armor was seen riding in, full with antlers on the helmet. I believe in the books people were frightened, thinking they were seeing Renly's ghost riding in.
Congrats on the 20k! You guys are awesome! It made me want to watch the episodes from the start for the 10000 times! It’s still amazing and love watching it with newbies to GoT :) love your reactions! And your comments are on point :) I’ll keep watching with you guys :)
The song played after the episode, I highly suggest listening to it. It’s a song about a great Lannister victory over the House of Rains called the Rains of Castemere. It signifies a great Lannister victory and at the end of this episode it’s being sung by the actor playing Bronn who has his own band.
It was sung by the Nationals at the end. Bronn only sings it during the episode.
Oh really! I always thought it was bronn there. He is part of a band and has a fairly good singing voice
I love how chuffed Nikki is for the 20k you guys deserve all the support I love your reactions I listen to them while I do things during the day 😂
