At this point, that's a fault of George. Barristan is probably going to die at some point in Winds Of Winter, but the book is STILL not out so it doesn't really matter what will and wont happen in the book anymore. There's a few other characters that get offed this season that are still alive in book 5, but will definitely die in book 6. George is one of the most frustrating people ever lol.
Barristan's actor showed the script to showrunners saying he has an important role to play in the books and this kind of death does a disservice to the character, and the showrunners responded when asked about this saying, "we just wanted to kill him even more." He's supposed to be better than Jaime in his prime.
Not that I'm anyone important, but theres only a small few RUclipsrs I get excited by a post notification for - and you Barry are the newest one. Also I'm fascinated by your interest in the Dorne plot, the fandom hates it lol...but you'll see. Also yes every plot is so thick right now its like the pennicle of the series this season. Sadly the last 3 seasons are touch and go, some great moments and storylines, some extremely rushed and disappointing ones. BUT - House of the Dragon is amazing and you got 2 seasons of that in the future.
Yeah the Unsullied are mostly trained to fight in a shield wall formation. They’ve defeated charging Dothraki with their shield wall. But a street fight especially when they’re outnumbered and taken by surprise is not their specialty.
13:25 my freshman English teacher in high school used to put a quote on the board everyday. I wrote them down in a notebook which I still have. My favorite remains "boredom is an insult to oneself."
So with you on locking in whenever Baelish is talking. He's saying what he's saying, and he's saying what he means, and they're not always the same thing. 💚
And if Winds Of Winter comes out and Barristan dies in the first half of the book, which will probably be the case, would that make Barristan's show death more bearable? George was still involved behind the scenes in season 5, telling DnD what to do and where certain characters were going, but because WoW isn't out yet we don't know what will happen to Barristan besides the Tyrion sample chapters we got.
@@MFBloosh goerge was shut down, they did not care about his talking into showrunning, he was behind the scene but he was dog with tail between his legs watching his lifelong dream be murdered
Unsullied spears aren't good in close quarters and their fighting style is better in organized formations, so I believe this is what the showrunners were trying to portray. That the sons of the harpy lured them into a less advantageous position.
10:22 , Stannis' wife a racoon?!!😂 Racoons NEVER back down, and NEVER run away! They chase people back into their houses! Unless you tame them, then they're sweethearts, and sassy as hell. Stannis' wife is an ugly lump on a log.
Unsullied work best as a team of defenders , split up into small patrols policing a city is not really what they are trained for or best at, hence the harpies being able to lead them into a trap and pick them off, is explained better in the books to be fair, but another great reaction lb 😃👍
In the books Baristan didn't die, Cersei did many other crazy stuff, started scheming to have Jon assasinated, she refused to pay the Iron bank back and used that money to build a giant navy (navy commander would later betray her and declare himself a pirate king) and she sent Margery's spy maids to Qyburn who used them for horrific experiments.
Lord barry, after finishing GOT i implore you to watch the animated movie “GOT: Conquest & Rebellion” its basically like histories and lore but in my opinion it explains things way better and the visuals are better
I really think you should check out some book theories. I genuinely think you would like them a lot considering how interested you are in the world of Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire). I'd suggest checking out either Alt Shift X or Preston Jacobs, any video title that you find interesting. The world is really very intricate and the story has hundreds of layers not even touched on in the show. In fact, this is around the point where the show writers go almost 100% off the books (other than some minor points).
This season is about 70/30 books to show. They are missing Lady Stoneheart, book Euron, the Lost Lord plot, the Tysha confession, etc etc. But the rest is there. And as good as Hardhome is in the show, it isn't in the books, and I wish it weren't in the show.
@@flesruoYkcuFoGuoY I mean the whole Sansa/Jeyne Poole switch up alone is a massive deviation. The entire Dorne/Quentyn/Arianne plot line is cut out and Young Griff is out as well. Whatever major plot points are kept are also diluted and dumbed down to hell. The rest of the show from this point onwards is just flashy and shock value scenes. I think 70/30 is generous. Harhome, Battle of Bastards etc. looks cool but makes very less sense the more you think about it. The book is a different beast.
I know Brienne beat the Hound, but I still take the Hound as the best fighter. She had a Valyrian steel sword. Also, I think he sort of underestimated her because she's a woman. I think in a rematch, the Hound beats Brienne. Second best is Jon. His sword skills in the battle for the Wall are the best in the series.
Bro is the first person Ive seen so locked into the Dorne plot LMFAO
You have grown to be literally one of THE best reaction channels out there, always a treat seeing a new video!!!
Yes! It's refreshing to see someone react that's not a weird derper trapped in their own mind
Fr man
@@adamzoellner8274 1000% I can’t even imagine how much effort he puts into editing.
Barristan's death made me so mad when I watched it that finding out he survived in the books is what made me start reading them in the first place
I wonder if the later seasons will get Barry mad enough to read the books haha
@@patbau96 that’s what I think every time he’s like, “Baelish is so smart, I have to lock in whenever he talks”
“He’s entranced” bros def talking about himself 😂
no bs
Don't forget in season one when Ned made some comment to Ser Barristan about how he was glad he never had to fight him, because he'd have died!
In this episode, for the 1st time, our King's equally interested in every plot line going on.
Later this episode: introducing the Sand Snakes.
but he was also into that^^
@@johng2794 Everyone is, when they first show up : )
“Darnell” is wild🤣🤣
Even "Cooper" makes no sense. It's like the writers forgot what universe they were in 😂
@@MsMojo014 It’s Coopers new single featuring Darnell
Stannis is good to his daughter they have the best relationship on the show
It’s fire to finally have a good father on this show
???
😂
@@bluebloods8760 if you see a blob of jello flying towards your head, just know that I didn't throw it.
@@bluebloods8760 💯
That’s a love that will never DIE
The power of kings blood is a bond that can never be broken.
They did Barristan the Bold so dirty in this episode. FYI he’s still alive in the books.
At this point, that's a fault of George.

Does anyone remember why he calls 'Grey Worm' Gary? It cracks me up every time.
Leslie Jones calls Theon Thee-Ron. Always makes me laugh. Another reaction channel calls Grey Worm, Worm, and Jon, Snowman.
calling Melissandre, Missoula, is what gets me. xD
@@michaelanderson5301 the guys that call jon "snowman" also call Dario Naharis "stevie" and jorah mormont " jora morant" haha

We love you cuz you’re tapped the fuck in.
"First season I've been equally interested in all the plotlines"
First season without Bran
Barry really went 👀👀👀👀👀 12:04
Bro I was flabbergasted when he called Jamie by my name
The unsullied are great on a battlefield, spears aren’t ideal in a hallway though
Yeah the Unsullied are mostly trained to fight in a shield wall formation. They’ve defeated charging Dothraki with their shield wall. But a street fight especially when they’re outnumbered and taken by surprise is not their specialty.
You are such an amazing reactor to this series. I know people that watched this and STILL don’t know who Ser Barriston is.

A new video by WONDERFUL KING BARRY !!!
😊
I'm always here for it !
My weekly JOY; to see your GoT reactions !
Hear ye hear ye 🔥 🔥 🔥
So with you on locking in whenever Baelish is talking. He's saying what he's saying, and he's saying what he means, and they're not always the same thing. 💚
14:20 OH BOY!
Missed you Barry ❤
barristan one of the first of many dumb deaths because of D and D
And if Winds Of Winter comes out and Barristan dies in the first half of the book, which will probably be the case, would that make Barristan's show death more bearable? George was still involved behind the scenes in season 5, telling DnD what to do and where certain characters were going, but because WoW isn't out yet we don't know what will happen to Barristan besides the Tyrion sample chapters we got.
@@MFBloosh he will surely die but not in a that random scene. Would think he gets betrayed
@@MFBloosh goerge was shut down, they did not care about his talking into showrunning, he was behind the scene but he was dog with tail between his legs watching his lifelong dream be murdered
He is back! Finally
Unsullied spears aren't good in close quarters and their fighting style is better in organized formations, so I believe this is what the showrunners were trying to portray. That the sons of the harpy lured them into a less advantageous position.

In the books Baristan didn't die, Cersei did many other crazy stuff, started scheming to have Jon assasinated, she refused to pay the Iron bank back and used that money to build a giant navy (navy commander would later betray her and declare himself a pirate king) and she sent Margery's spy maids to Qyburn who used them for horrific experiments.
She was also fucking the Kettleblacks and Moonboy for all we know
Lord barry, after finishing GOT i implore you to watch the animated movie “GOT: Conquest & Rebellion” its basically like histories and lore but in my opinion it explains things way better and the visuals are better
Barryyy i forgott this was a thiiing keep em reaction comming!!! Best show im watching right now and its a show of a show.
There is a moment I am looking forward to, even more than the red wedding. It is particular to you and your reactions 😆
Your tier list got me wanting a Mortal Kombat style Game of Thrones fighting game 😂
Arthur Dayne, Barristan and Jaime are top 3 swordsmen

Ser Barristan the god
Oh I hate that fight at the end smh
Fuck this intro is too good
I know Brienne beat the Hound, but I still take the Hound as the best fighter. She had a Valyrian steel sword. Also, I think he sort of underestimated her because she's a woman. I think in a rematch, the Hound beats Brienne.
Second best is Jon. His sword skills in the battle for the Wall are the best in the series.
The Hound was probably also sick from infection when fighting Brienne after nearly getting his ear bitten off
1 hour ago im locked in
you really shouldn't be watching the pre episode recaps, they give you information what possibly could happen in the episode
Bro their plan was so stupid
I WANT JOFFREY BACK D:
