Want to mention that the Shield Jon picked up to block Ramsays arrows was a Shield of House Mormont. The 62 Men of Bear Island did in fact make the difference!
I think this is one of the greatest battle sequences ever filmed. It rivals Saving Private Ryan's opening sequence for sheer visceral, like you're really there impact. BTW, "full tilt" is a medieval term related to jousting (you tilt your lance at your opponent and ride full speed at them) so very appropriate in this context.
6x9, and especially 6x10, are considered the best episodes of the entire show. At least in the top 5. 6x10 is a lot of people's best episode of TV ever, actually.
If Sansa would have told Jon, he would have waited to attack, Ramsey would have found out and barricaded himself behind the walls of Winterfell, and eventually come up with another diabolical plan. She knew they had to surprise him.
Sansa had no trust in Baelish to actually show up, the letter was an act of desperation. He serves himself and Sansa knows this. The potentially false hope she may have given Jon would have given Ramsay more time. But this was Sansa outmanouvering all others and playing a high stakes game. And she won.
You once told us that realistic battle scenes will never surpass anime fight scenes in s1. Now do NOT tell me you still hold that opinion after watching this
This is she chest time I've seen no "ZIG ZAG" comments and it's about time!! 😂 Ramsey is an impeccable shot we learned that in season 3 - there was no dodging it, it's just a game and he doesn't play games that you might actually win
You are absolutely right about Episode 10. It will be interesting to see which one you give top rank to! There are very good reasons why fan favorites are Seasons 4 & 6...
One thing I would have loved seeing was when Drogon lands with a thunderous plop right behind Dany, to see her wobble a bit and slightly lose her balance. Would have shown Drogon's power and some vulnerability from Dany one of the show's strongest characters, but at same time this would show even more strength from Dany, as she did not hesitate to climb onto Drogon's back
the X's on fire are also yard makers for archers ranging. Jon was lured into rang and had to undercut the volley. also Archers shoot in unison called a volley to do indirect fire of a certain area. Also there is a Game like this, its called Chivalry medieval warfare
took this long to get a proper medieval field battle. there was one in the first book but that was when the show had tyrion knocked out for the whole thing because they didn't have the budget
I love the Sansa song! Sansa didn’t know if Littlefinger was coming or not. That’s why she didn’t say anything but kept telling him to wait (so she could find out if Littlefinger was coming or not) I’m going get a lot of hate for this, but she’s my favorite character! ♥️ starting season 2 when she hated Joffrey
The music you play for Sansa always kills me😂 Also I expect to see one person mention the Mormont shield, Tis tradition with this episode haha Edit: I did, GOT fam you never disappoint ❤ hell yeah they did that
lol since like episode 1 or 2 --- you had my dany take, where its like she like "what if we just kill everyone.... " and low key its like thats crazy BUT..damn she looks good saying it so I guess thats the plan
Even though Sansa left Jon hanging out there on the battlefield and not telling him about Littlefinger and the Knight’s of the Vale, he allowed her to have that Ramsey kill. Sansa had already left when Ramsey told Jon that he hadn’t fed his dogs in 7 days. Obviously he let Sansa know and gave her the revenge she deserved. Still hate that she kept her mouth shut. Yelling at Jon before the battle about not having enough men and she possibly had the Vale in her pocket. At least tell Jon that, heffa!
Even if melisandre learns now to not be too presumptuous in claims to knowledge/certainty, i still think she is inherently no different to when we first met her. She still thinks that IF the lord of light (LOL) commands her to do smthg, no matter how horrible, she should do it. She just is no longer sure she can understand, but she is still sure the LoL’s commands override moral common sense. She has not changed position on the Euthyphro dilemma, and that is why i dislike her more than Ramsay
don't like how in the series they portray the wildings as ignorant primitive people, in the books they are well-advanced as any other kingdom and even more
Hey Barry, After Game of Thrones ends, I hope you start watching 'The Sopranos'. It's an amazing show and your commentary would be amazing. I hope you see this:)
Team Sansa. She kept an ace up her sleeve because she saw that Jon was making ignorant mistakes. Ramsey would out maneuver him, and they would fail. Unless she brought in the final blow. It’s literally a play by play of the blackwater. If she had given Jon the Vale, they would died just the same. It was only because they waited until his entire force surrounded them, that they could break their lines from behind. She won this battle, not Jon. Jon is good with a sword, and he is honorable, he has never been smart. People have Jon love goggles on. And I love him too. But people let their adoration for his awesomeness lead them to think he’s always right, he’s not.
@@elvin2514 I agree with you on the element of surprise. That was one my most favorite scenes of the series. On the other hand, not telling Jon didn't even give him a chance to consider waiting for a response. She did ask him to wait for more men, but didn't give him a reason to believe any might be coming.
Wrong. If she had said something they would’ve lost everyone AND the vale. how do people not get this. JON SUCKS AT STRATEGY. Ramsey would have won 10 out of 10 times. The only way to beat him was with surprise troops that NO ONE knew about.
Want to mention that the Shield Jon picked up to block Ramsays arrows was a Shield of House Mormont.
The 62 Men of Bear Island did in fact make the difference!
Yassss!!!
Never noticed that before. Great observation!
It's always a delight to see new viewers react to the work of art that is this episode.
"I'd put my horse in reverse." I don't know WHY that struck me as so funny, but it had me snorting!
"Lookin like a Travis Scott concert" 😩
Battle of the Bastards was one of the best battles I've ever watched. I was so hype to see your reaction to this episode.
I think this is one of the greatest battle sequences ever filmed. It rivals Saving Private Ryan's opening sequence for sheer visceral, like you're really there impact.

15:46 wild that she's asking the Ironborn to give up the 4 Rs when the Dothraki are all _about_ the 4 Rs.
If Sansa would have told Jon, he would have waited to attack, Ramsey would have found out and barricaded himself behind the walls of Winterfell, and eventually come up with another diabolical plan. She knew they had to surprise him.
The one shot of Jon is stunning
Can’t wait for the next episode, definitely the best episode of any show that I’ve ever seen.
Same. The music!!!!!!!!
@@lynnmoyer yes the intro in particular is perfect😂 the reveal later on was so perfectly shot too
By far, one of the best reactions do far. I agree with the added Sansa swag! Fire!
Fave battle ever in any show!
I'm not even sure it's the best battle in this show, personally
Watchers on the Wall was better.
Watch Lord of the Rings and you will change your mind :P Unless you have already and are just crazy :D
@@likethatidea9899 he said any show though, not any movie
@@andersoncaua8063 True.
I’ve been waiting for you to react to thisssssss 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can’t wait til next week- episodes 9&10 go so fucking hard and together are almost like a movie. Episode ten is fucking great too.
I usually wait until Sunday morning when I get off work, but I couldn't for this reaction😊
HEAR YE HEAR YE🎉🎉
I’ve been waiting for this the entire week!!! Les goooo

“Am I recording?” 🤣💀 gets me every time!!
I need Barry as the voiceover commentary of my life, purely for the “DAMMMNNNHHHH” whenever something happens to me that isn’t my fault 😂
4:02 "they said 'Ma-Ma‘"😂😂😂
Thats Sansa's new theme song anytime see her😂😂
😂😂 for real! Should be like the Hound’s gong
Good doggos!!
HELL YEAH BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE!!! so damn HYPE for next one too!!
Sansa the OG City Girl ayyy 😆
Epic episode! And thank you, I love your reactions, I can't wait for the next one.
the happiest episode for him so far XD
"Let's go Reinhardt." Ha ! ^^
This is the only episode I randomly reacted to 😂
You once told us that realistic battle scenes will never surpass anime fight scenes in s1. Now do NOT tell me you still hold that opinion after watching this
Ramsay had to be surprised. She played his mind games. Also next episode is the best of the entire series
I think of the two episodes as kinda one movie. Together they’re my fav of the show.
Man are you on Adderall, you yelled trough this whole episode lol
the music choice was peak lmao
This is she chest time I've seen no "ZIG ZAG" comments and it's about time!! 😂 Ramsey is an impeccable shot we learned that in season 3 - there was no dodging it, it's just a game and he doesn't play games that you might actually win
You'll definitely get your cardio in next eppy because you won't be able to catch your breath..lol XO
Episode ten is 1 hour and 20 minutes of the least amount of chill ever
His reaction is crazy, I can tell you that
Best episode of any tv show of all time 🤷🏽♂️
It’s been a long journey! Been waiting to this one
You are absolutely right about Episode 10.
It will be interesting to see which one you give top rank to!
There are very good reasons why fan favorites are Seasons 4 & 6...
Can't wait for the next one. It's gonna be lit.
we been waiting for this one bro

LOL lol tilting is literally a medieval sport
Here we go!!!!!
Commenting for the algorithm
Let's fucking go it's finally here!!
I'm gonna miss the close-up reactions to Ramses's bullshit, but I'm happy Ramses is gone
We’re here the vengeance
You ain't ready for this next episode

Edit: I did, GOT fam you never disappoint ❤ hell yeah they did that
Loose! LOOSE! LOOSE! loose! (you lose) LOOSE! 🤣
His grace🎉
This battle is amazing in a visual sense, it’s a shame it’s not written very well lol
lol since like episode 1 or 2 --- you had my dany take, where its like she like "what if we just kill everyone.... " and low key its like thats crazy BUT..damn she looks good saying it so I guess thats the plan
Let's goooo
YESSS hear ye hear ye!!!
LETS GOOOO

She didn’t leave him hanging. She knew he was dumb and saved his ass.
Greatest Episode in Television History?
the winds of winter is better
Massacre at Hardhome
Not even top 10 game of thrones episode I'm afraid
@@bobrhubarbtv591 nerd
Sansa fr the darkest one now
Darth Sansa.
Even if melisandre learns now to not be too presumptuous in claims to knowledge/certainty, i still think she is inherently no different to when we first met her.

I forgot that how much that moment at the table from Sansa annoyed me
SANSA MY QUEEN
don't like how in the series they portray the wildings as ignorant primitive people, in the books they are well-advanced as any other kingdom and even more
Hey Barry,
After Game of Thrones ends, I hope you start watching 'The Sopranos'. It's an amazing show and your commentary would be amazing. I hope you see this:)
16:26 good call

Sansa was foul for that. All thsoe men didn't have to die for her to get her home back. All she had to do was say something.
It would have ruined everything. No suprise- no win in this case. Also how could she be sure that he would come?
