The red woman usually doesn't need to sleep, eat, and she is always warm. At the end there she is cold (she lit a fire) and she went to sleep. She feels defeated.
24:19 - "Her boobs are kind of amazing." she says. "WAIT FOR IT!!" I say.
Lol! It is known
Yep
I started laughing out loud when Nikki said this.
😂😂😂
Sag-award worthy
Melisandre is kinda... broken. I mean, imagine believing in a god for centuries, committing terrible acts in his name (and truly believing you are doing good) and then your entire faith comes crashing down. The flames were wrong. I burned people alive for nothing. I'm a monster.
That's pretty much what she's feeling. She's questioning her entire purpose in life. Think of a midlife crisis times 10. Lmao.
Michael Henry except not really Midlife...just long life
+Slenderfoxx37 Well, same difference. Same concept, same emotions.
This is same for all religious people too.
Yeah, you kind forgive her cus her god was obiously real. At least SOMETHING was setting shit on fire and offing people, just cus she prayed for it, or did some ritual. Let's face it: If god were real, and you seriously believed he was telling you to do some bad shit, but that it was for the greater good, you'd do it. Cus it's GOD! Whatever god you believe in, part of the belief system is usually that they're always in the right
@@ashscott6068 Your comment summarizes religious people in nutshell and things they do claiming it's their god's will.
Millisandra does feel defeated. She read the flames wrong and thought Stannis was the Prince that was Promised......she convinced him to kill his brother and daughter for the Lord of Light.
Melisandre.
The flames was basically showing her Jon every time she asks of how the prince who was promised was doing...she was so confused she had no idea 😂
Melisandre omg my eyes bled when i read that
She actually read flames right. Her god wanted her to be with Stannis, so he would bring her to Jon.
Marta Gerc Nah...if she was meant to do it she wouldn’t be so defeated looking. My opinion anyway.
that scene with brienne and sansa is a parallel with the scene from season 2 with brienne and cait
If I remember correctly, they were similiar words, but not exactly. But yeah, definitely a parallel and it means a lot to Brienne.
Something a lot of people don't seem to know is that Drogo's khalasar, while being the largest, was not the only one. The Dothraki is made up of many khalasars as well as their sacred city of Vaes Dothrak where the widows of dead khals reside permanently. They war among themselves and sell each other into slavery whenever they meet outside of Vaes Dothrak. I feel the show didn't really get this point across very well.
Very similar to the Mongols from Genghis onwards.
Well, I remember Jorah, perhaps in season 1, mentioning other Khals such as Khal Pono and others.
Dany’s S1/book1 arc would’ve been much more interesting if a rival khalasar(s) waged war against Drogo for marrying a foreigner
I wanted to tell Steven and Nikki this before but didn't know if it was a spoiler or not.
Thanks 😉😋
@@bbictorr
Dothoraki follow the strong once she showed her power it was a done deal for them . They are most afraid of Sea and Fire and she is unburnt with dragons to cross the seas so ! I think that's more interesting than just them waging war because he wanted a different looking foreign bride lol
I hated Melisandre up until shit didn't turn out the way she expected it to. Then she became such a nuanced character to me. Her sad looks throughout this episode, coupled with the old crone bit and her crawling into bed, showed such a fragile side to her we haven't seen before.
lartisteautravail I loved her before but I loved her even more after this scene.
She's such an interesting character
In the program she has said she is very old. In the books she is said to be 400 years old.
Nova Lena Yeah and Jaime attempted to murder Bran, permanently paralyzing him, but people are willing to forgive him because he’s a hot dude. Theon murdered *two* children but everyone’s all about his redemption path.
I think what binds Melisandre, Theon & Jaime was the arrogance they've shown with their murders (attempted murder). They acted like they were truly justified in doing it. Jaime is still in that mentality...for Cersei. But Theon & now Melisandre seem truly sorry for what they did.
Real Housewives of Vaes Dothrak... I'd give it a chance.
🤣🤣🤣 I love this! 📺💯
😂🤣
Real Widows of Vaes Dothrak. FTFY
Dude this is exactly why I love GOT fandom right there ! ⤴️👌🙏🤓😘
😂😂😂
I think Melisandre is disgusted with herself for getting Stannis and thousands of others killed along with the fact she thought Jon was someone special but he is now dead aswell.
She's depressed because all those visions she has seen will no longer become true. She feels like she has no purpose anymore.
I dont think she minds getting anyone killed.. she wasnt disgusted after burning shireen. She's just upset for the other reasons you stated.
@@MattMajcan
She is upset because she was wrong !! She was over confident . Period.
She’s upset because she thought stannis was the prince promised, she’s guilty about convincing him of the sacrifices that they were needed when in fact the flames were truthful but she misunderstood them, and read them wrong. So she now feels guilty because she read them wrong.

I remember getting so emotional at the sansa brienne scene, it was so beautiful after a whole year of waiting 😢
I thought it sucked. Brienne faced no consequences for abandoning her duty i.e. Sansa, to go on a revenge quest. Bad writing that she got to abandon Sansa and then still rescue her.
I love how at the start Nikki is already nearly crying 😂
She has not recovered from Jon Snow's death. Remember, we all had close to a year to recover.
Ghost howling really sets the opening scene. Such a beautiful yet mournful sound.
It's a tough scene.... Seeing him laying there alone except ghost howling. ..sad
Not nearly. I think she was crying. Lol.
That was literally me I was sobbing within four mins
Game of Thrones is that kind and only show that makes you flip your table and say fck this show but at the end you will still come back for it.
@Drake XBL I've only seen BB out of those 3 and that doesn't make me flip a table at all
HBO especially does it. No censors, no advertisements, no sponsors. Crazy money to actors, and sets. Each episode, movie-quality.
@Drake XBL I thought your point was those shows made you flip your table and come back for more, didn't think you were just saying you like those shows more than GOT. You must have commented under the wrong thread cause thats not what this was about to begin with, lmao
Like 'Dark Souls'.
Torchwood does that too for me (granted I didn’t See the last Season yet)
Having a seriously rough day and this is JUST what I needed.
Jacqueline Ayyy me too🤯
I feel you girl, this is exactly what I needed to turn my day around :)
I had a very shitty day too.So I get ya ;)
Hang in there
Was feeling lonely too. Turned off youtube and was about to sleep. Then decided to check again and saw this post. Makes my day all the time.
Ghost is a boy, and all the Stark children's wolves are/were the same gender as them. Not only that, but they all have names that are very significant to their owner's characters. Bran's wolf is Summer, and Bran is very close to the plot of fighting the walkers (winter). Sansa's wolf was Lady, which ties in with her desire to marry Joffrey at the start of the show and now her marriages to both Tyrion and Ramsey. Arya's is Nymeria, who was an ancient warrior princess. And you can now understand the significance of Ghost. George obviously had everything planned out from the start!
Grey wind and shaggy dog?
Grey Wind = decisions not black, nor white; direction uncertain
Shaggy Dog = pretty sure a spoiler so I won't say, but you can look it up easy.
@@angie-tq4ewThat's one possibility, or maybe it could represent the cold weather of the North. I think shaggy dog was meant to show Rickon's innocence amid all the conflict because it's such a childish name
Thanks great comment
Jon named Ghost when he first finds him because he is quieter than the others, he never made any noise. Sort of like his life in Winterfell, he was a ghost to his family because he was born as a “bastard”
Something that I love to point out. Brienne’s sword came from Ned’s sword, so in a way, it’s like Ned is protecting Sansa, too ❤️

Mind blowing details !! Thank you 🙉
Exactly what I did. I already knew I was going to like it before seeing it, so why wouldn't I like it first. :P
So glad you didn't give up on GOT ❤💚💜💙
No One Can ! 🙏
@@TheMaskedChef7 I see what ya did there. :) lol
Red Women is just broken.. she really believed that Stanis was The One. She is hundereds of years old.
She thought Stannis was the one AND she saw Jon fighting at Winterfell AND she burned a child for nothing. Everything she believes now appears to be a lie.
@@moonfisher
Did she burn Shireen for nothing though? No death goes in vain ;)
I just realized Theon saving Pod was a parallel of Pod saving Tyrion. Damn.
Show-Ellaria logic: "Uhm, so Oberyn was killed during a fair trial and I want to avenge him? I have a very good idea: let's murder his brother and niece brutally, thus extinguishing the Martell bloodline, Oberyn's bloodline. He surely would have liked it a lot."
The Dark Side of J
Yeah, She gets revenge by killing his brother and nephew, WTF! Oh well, that's one of Dan & Dave's plot holes! (GRRM, they're not!) but we move on I guess!
Jay Bird it’s not necessarily a plot hole, Oberyn has other daughters as well so his bloodline isn’t gone
BetaArtemis well all his daughters are Sand. I used bloodline a little bit inappropiately, I meant members of the Martell family.
Jay Bird I get that the books' plot for Dorne is a little bit too articulated for the show, but they came up with horrible ideas to replace it, unfortunately :(
The Dark Side of J
TRUE, TRUE. I just hated how they wasted (And killed) the character & actor that played Doran Martell! He seemed like he was going to be a boss character on the show!
In the books, yes he has more daughters! Don't remember if it was mentioned in the show about more daughters. Still, most people have to wonder: Why would you kill your lovers brother & nephew to avenge his death? This is what I mean with "Plot hole!"
Really glad you guys didn't rage quit, lol! Melisandre is ancient, like 300-400 years old, most likely. The necklace she wears is a glamour, although we did see her without it when she was in the tub talking to Selyse, Stannis's wife. Remember that conversation? She was talking about using potions to make people see different things. She called them parlour tricks. I also loved that scene with the Dothraki, they're savages but they're funny as Hell, reminded me of an old Monty Python sketch. 🤣🤣
Go Brienne!!! She is faithful and smart. Go Ser Davos, who is also faithful and smart. Two of the best characters in this saga shone brightly in this episode!
I PHYSICALLY cannot wait for tmrws episode!!!!
The Red Woman is another of those characters where I find my thoughts on her shift depending. I think Stannis’ defeat seriously shook her faith, which is something she was pretty much sold into as a child. So her development is really fascinating
Arya...oh, poor Arya. But she’s a survivor. She never just lays down and gives up and I have to give her major props for that!
Sanaa’s acceptance of Brienne’s service is one of my favorite scenes and for a really small reason. It’s been so long that she has partially forgotten the words; I love Podrick helping her.
Finally, Sansa's luck is turning. The Red Woman is, quite literally, showing weakness and vulnerability. Is her being at Castle Black coincidence or supernatural fate? It's all very exciting.
I loooove the scene with Brienne and Sansa, because it's the same oath that Catelyn and Brienne exchanged that sent Brienne on the path she's been on. To finally succeed and find someone to serve is all she wanted. Ahh my heart
**Spoilers in thread** -I think the wolves sex matches their owner. So only Lady and Nymeria are female.
Shaggydock identifies as an Apache
@Iori Van Hail Rob died before his direwolf did.
And there's another Stark with whom that theory doesn't work... I'm not gonna name it.
Actually, Rob died after. He got ATTACKED first, but he didn't die til Roose stabbed him right before they slit Cat's throat.
Nora Girl he’s a stark
I'll never get through the Sansa and Brienne scene without getting emotional.
And welcome to season 6! We got your back on this one again.
You didn't quit! You're like Theon, Nikki and Steven! Even with all the pain, you came back for more!
Ugh well, *notBatman* , we're their protectors, we're watching over them I guess :D
No Ric his name is Ric
@@beastbestplay2015 *Reek.
"I've always been a terrible priest... By the time I came to Westeros, I didn't believe in our lord... I wore the robes and every now and then I'd recite the prayers, but it was just for show... Until the Mountain drove a lance through this one's heart. I knelt beside his cold body and I said the old words. Not because I believed in them, but because he was my friend. And he was dead. And they were the only words I knew. And for the first time in my life, the lord replied." -Thoros of Myr
A show for the locals....
I love this quote so much and I absolutely adore Thoros and Beric 😍
Ser Davos: a consistent voice for sense and reason in a world where petty ambition or dogmatic intransigence often wins the day (at the cost of everyone).
Sand snakes : we'll avenge Oberyn's death, but first we need to kill Doran and Tristane
Got to love the Sand Snakes... because some Martells weren't properly avenged, their solution is to kill all the remaining Martells.
tbh... the writers fucked up. I get that Dorne storyline was probably too busy grand to pull off as well in the show? But... they really fucked up.
@@tomw4955 It seems stupid when put that way, yes, but another way to see it is that because Oberyn wasn't properly avenged, their solution is to kill the ones who should have avanged him and take control so they can avenge him themselves, which obviously makes perfect sense. Also, I've seen a lot of reactors, and I've never seen any reactor who didn't like the Dorne plotline unless there was a book reader next to them giving them bad expectations in advance.
@@SelvesteSand just cuz a few reactors you watch like it doesnt mean shit when almost half the fandom hates that storyline
YAY this makes my day. LOL @ Steven asking if not having a penis makes it easier to cross a cold river. I thought the boys needed to be colder than your body to work...? lol. As for Dorne.... yeah, that's nowhere near what happens in the books. Us book readers thought it was awful, but for different reasons.
Melisandre is over 400 years old. She's very disappointed because her visions haven't come true. She thought Stannis was the new Azor Ahai, who was destined to defeat the Lord of Light's enemies. She also saw Jon in the flames, fighting at Winterfell. She's depressed, feeling powerless.
The Dosh Kaleen are the priestesses who made the prophecy about Dany's baby being the Stallion who Mounts the World. They're all widows of Khals.
Yep yep yep Melisandre feels defeated, she read the flames wrong for Stannis and Jon and now she doesn’t know what to do or feel. Her removing her glamour (the ruby choker) is her accepting that she’s pretty weak, she’s seeing herself as she is, an ancient woman, for the first time in maybe centuries
Wow. Thank you. I never caught this and always wondered what the scene had to do with anything.
Not sure if this is true or not but I read in an article that Khal Moro was originally going to be Daenerys' husband but GRRM thought against it cause her dragon would be called Moron
HAHAHAHAHA Well that didn't stop them from naming a casino in California something very close to that.
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!! you did it! and here i was thinking you were summer children.. im sorry, i will never, ever doubt you again.
I love Pod helping Sansa with her vows
“Where’s Kanan Jarrus?” 😂😂😂
I loved that reference
Who??
@@kakam458 he was a former padawan who survived the Jedi Purge. He lost his sight in S2 of Star Wars Rebels.
I'm glad you both decided not to give up on the show just yet. Love your reactions.
The beautiful Jon Snow was laying in the Snow :(.
I'm glad the Wildlings came through to help
So glad Theon got Sansa away and that Brienne came to their rescue.
That Red Haird lady looked disgusting when she was an old lady.
The key insight to that final scene is that Mellisandre was COLD. Previously, she'd always been able to prance around the frozen North in the same robes she wore in the South; claiming the Lord's fire warmed her. Now it would seem that "fire" has gone out. Take that for what you will.
YEEESSSS Finally a BEAUTIFUL naked lady in the show!!!! Love you Mel, keep it natural!! 👅👅👅
Going from pornhub to this is the smoothest transition, my boner popped right back up at the end of this episode :))
I always cackled queer laughter when all dem straight reactors were like: Beewbs!!!! and then bam Old tiddy sacks XD
When asked about being afraid of being killed off on the show Carice van houten replied I'm more afraid of being naked again , having to go to the gym is annoying lol
The powers of Melisandre comes from her strong faith in the lord of light (that's why she appears younger and the red gem in her necklace was always glowing). After her failures with Stannis and Jon's death, she's in a faith crisis right now and doubting everything she believes (which is why the gem isn't glowing anymore and she appears as her real old self)
We don't actually *know* whether her power comes from the Lord of Light, considering we don't know if he even exists. All we know is that she has powers by her use of bloodmagic and shadowbinding, but neither is inherently related to the Lord of Light, they're forms of sorcery that don't involve to any degree. Followers of R'hllor might *use* these types of magic but they don't *belong* to the religion.
Saying her power comes from her belief isn't backed up by what appears in the show at all. Unless I'm mistaken, of course, feel free to point that out.
@jovi Levi your forgetting about Thoros of Myr and his power he even says himself he doesn't have the power he only says the words it's the lord of light that does the magic, whether that is true for Melisandre is hard to say your right she uses blood magic etc so maybe her power comes from herself and the magic she uses rather than the lord of light.
Jovi Levi :3 there's clearly a bigger force working behind this faith, not just some people with magic. I think R'hllor is real and I think we'll get more info about it (in the books at least), though George said he's likely to leave the gods to intepretation by the end.
The Old Gods are basically a collective mind of the greenseers inside the weirwoods. And the Seven are totally fake.
@Richard Lucas - 'Clearly' a bigger force? I don't see it. Nobody's been able to argue in favour of it to any degree of success. There is no 'clearly'.
@Dularr - What bias?
Franken-mountain is an excellent way to describe that character.
Season 6 is really a treat after trudging through season 5. Not that I think season 5 is bad but it was a very hard season to digest. I think each episode in this season is a gem. Also with the crone at the end, I just want to say thanks for not being so immature about it. Every reaction people act so dramatic about seeing saggy old boobs. It's just not that serious. It's a shocking but people really are extra about it.
Seconded. Old people... exist, y'know? (Some of us may even become them.) Even if we don't often see their bodies in media. It's only "disgusting" if we want it to be. Especially in a show with so much gore, vomit, semi-decomposed bodies....
Amen to that. I've seen some reactors even go so far as to *literally* gag at the image. Of course, they're also younger than Nikki and Steven, so they're a lot more immature and find old people icky, and they're not yet mature enough to realize that that's exactly what's going to happen to their bodies one day.
Ghost is a boy...season 4, episode 5...after killing Karl "THE FOCKING LEGEND" Tanner, Ghost appears...Jon says "I missed you boy".
You're welcome. ;)
Each direwolf matched the Stark they were paired with. Grey Wind, Shaggy Dog, Summer and Ghost are boys. Lady and Nymeria are girls.
Another Production Note: Alfie Allen and Sophie Turner were completely fine crossing the river. The water was actually very warm and the frost on the river's edge was made from paraffin wax so it would melt on contact with the warm water like ice.
Also, Maisie Williams had two different sets of contacts for filming. One was completely opaque for when the shot didn't require her to walk. For her... uh... 'fight' scene with the Waif (more of a beatdown), her contacts were transparent at the center for her pupils so she would still be able to see.
Oh wow, never knew that part with the river that's pretty cool, thought the actors legit just walked through a frozen lake somehow haha
Watching you watching GOT is the only soap I'm allowed
You guys have now seen the red woman in her true form. She’s actually 400 years old now, but not much is known about he background. You are right about her being defeated. Everything she thought she saw in the flames was a lie. All that she did for the Lord of Light turned out to be nothing. That’s something hard to come to terms with. And Ghost is a boy. Thanks for the reactions guys can’t wait until tomorrow.
I laughed so much when nikki got mad about the freezing joke😂😂
One thing I always wondered, maybe it's explained better in the books, but if the many faced God is so strict that Arya gets punished for taking the wrong life, how did Jaqen get away with killing the entire inner guard of Harrenhal so Arya and her friends could escape in season 2?
I used to wonder about that too. He certainly wasn't happy about it, and she had to threaten his life to have him agree to it. My guess is that doing that for her cancelled whatever cush assignment he had at Harrenhall and forced him and his character to leave early and do some other work with that other face he took. Maybe those kills implicated him enough to have to leave Westeros until it cooled down. Maybe he had to lay low in Braavos and stay inside fhe House of Black and White. He probably knew that when he gave Arya the special coin fare to join him in Braavos. And lastly, I bet his "make it up to the Red god" task or tasks really sucked because he seemed to be in a worse mood ever since. I mean, has he cracked a smile once? He smiled all the time in Westeros.
To this day I never understood why they didn't show Stannis' death. The director said it woulda basically been overkill. But uh I dont really get that statement
I think Melisandre uses a glamour spell so when she wears her necklace, she looks younger. Something like that.
I really loved the scene with Brianne and Sansa, kinda beautiful. Thanks for your reaction x
When you came too soon and the 1080p version hasn't even processed yet :P

@@thedeejaeebee5babee haha, thanks!
This is all that I need to get happy..
Nikki finding correlations between GOT and not one but two Disney movies (Frozen and Rapunzel) absolutely slays me
Melisandre is using something that's called "glamor magic". Glamors make the object of the magic appear differently to observers and some red priests believe that glamors are made possible through the Lord of Light.
Melisandre is indeed defeated and devastated. She's been a true believer of the Lord of Light and his power (nothing wrong with that, we've seen proof of that magic), and through the show she's been convinced that Stannis was the Prince that was promised (an ancient prophecy about the Messiah basically). Turns out she read her prophecy wrong and yeah, you've seen what it cost. A true defeat of a dedicated believer. So when she's removing the necklace (glamor) in this episode it simply represents that she's lost faith. And her magic grows weaker with her losing faith.
Keep in mind tho that prophecies are fickle things.
BEST SEASON OF ANY SHOW EVER !! lets do this
Totally agree
I disagree, a lot of things are bad with this season (in my opinion). Doran and Trystane are murdered by their own family, and Jon's storyline is pretty bad too. Littlefinger is turned into an idiot and both Tyrion and Varys are turned into support characters for Daenerys.
@@harpe9415
Supporting Dany doesn't make them any less important.
Age Of The Witch That's not what I meant, I meant that they don't have any of their own storylines anymore and aren't important in the grand scheme of things like they used to be.
Best season of any show. Fact (majority of people agree).
I can't wait for the next book, The Winds of Winter, to be published and many things happen like the show (or the most crucial things), so the book lords will say "oh the show wasn't so bad after all". By the way, book readers equals NOT book lords.
I'd like to request that the Mods don't explain anything. Let them figure it out organically. I don't want to have another American Mum instance where you watch for 50 episodes, and then a mod texts them in the middle of a scene to explain shit. That was so disappointing.
Mum was watching an important scene live, and she didn't quite guess the point of the whole thing. A few seconds later one of the "mods" texts her in the middle of one of the shows other best scene's, and spells everything out for her. So after 50-60 episodes, we don't get to see Mum figure it out herself, she has it ruined for her by one of the mods, and missed one of the best scenes in the show because she was busy reading a spoiler text.
The "big" episode in season 6, I'm not sure which mod it was, but there's one of them who I think also faked his whole reaction series.
I don't get it when people blame olly for john's death
I mean if he didn't ask him to go out or stab him, someone else would
He was just a puppet in the show
@Iori Van Hail True that but still he wasn't the planner
Did he willingly stab Jon to death? Yes.. then he’s to blame. He’s fully aware of his own actions.
Mushthofa Mushthofa he might be to blame but he’s hardly alone or the instigator - he’s a child who felt betrayed and was manipulated by older people around him - there’s a reason in this world we treat kids who commit crimes different than adults
@@CaptainPikeachu
For premeditated murder he'd be tried as an adult.
Lol spoiler for his fate. 😂
Beta - not necessarily for murder. He would probably be tried as an adult for this.
......and so begins season 6, in my opinion the best season EVER!
I have it at second best behind season 4.
lol these season 6 and 4 are worst compared to the original books.
Still not supposed to start discussing what seasons are "best". sigh.
We're talking about the show... dont be that guy.
sinister0077 - By "that guy" I assume you mean Steven? (and Nikki)? Who have expressly asked not to be told what seasons are "best", time and again...
Cersei saying Marcella is nothing like her , just confirms Cersei is no longer in denial about how evil she is . Which makes her even more Real , witty and therefore more dangerous in my mind .
Yay you survived! Welcome back! Thanks for reacting!!! ❤❤❤
In the books, characters like Varys use make up to look more appealing. Other characters like Mel use magic in the same sense. Both are technically referred to as "Glamor"
Brienne is a kick ass swordfighter and she swore to kill Stannis. She stood 3 feet away from him and we saw her swinging the sword. No way Stannis could have survived that and therefore no reason to show his head falling off.
Right. It cuts out because we are seeing the execution from Stannis' POV.
It's not that she couldn't have done it - if anything she might have gotten scruples to kill an unarmed man and hit the tree. Which - very likley didn't happen. :)
Funnysterste she’s not a good fighter.
Arry Brienne kicked the Hound's butt. She'S the only one who hasn't been defeated in combat in the whole show.
I mean, the Hound kicked her butt too, he just fell off a cliff. He probably would've had more stamina than her if they kept fighting longer.
Question for Steven, you say you love when Brienne gets all honorable, well here’s a question.
Stannis is Renly’s OLDER brother, and King Robert’s younger brother. He is the middle child. Joffrey and Tommen are not King Robert’s sons, by all the laws and honor, the throne belongs to Stannis. So isn’t it kind of hypocritical for Brienne to consider herself honorable, yet backed Renly who had no claim to the throne before his older brother?
I'm not Steven, but Varys : “Power is a curious thing. Who lives, Who dies. Power resides where men believe it resides. It is a trick, A shadow on the wall.”
Honor and law are two different things. The mistake you (and Stannis) are making is that they're the same. They're not. At all.
I understand what you say, but just recently found out a possible explanation. When Robert took the throne, he sent Stannis to Dragonstone, the empty seat of House Targaryen (it was actually the official seat of the Crown Prince, but this notion seemed not to be working as such in Robert's reign, since Joffrey was never addressed as Prince of Dragonstone). So, Renly was acting as the Lord of the Stormlands in Storm's End. Stannis was a bit upset about that situation, but he was obeying his brother and king and doing his duty. The thing is, Renly was the one to whom the Stormlands lords were sworn to, he could call his bannermen to fight for any goal he wanted to. What I mean is Renly was the man wielding the true Baratheon power, with all their bannermen loyal to him (by law). Stannis had been put out of that system (even if it was his birthright) by Robert himself. So, I understand that for the succession of the throne Stannis came first, but there was some wiggle room for a different interpretation, and Renly took that opportunity to call himself the next King.
I think succession is probably much weaker when the most recent king was a usurper. Succession would have dictated that a Targaryen gets the throne next, so Robert's claim is based only in conquest. Any conquerer that comes after has an equal claim to Robert's morally.
Steven you need to ask yourself is the mountain alive or dead? and is that important? the red witch has lost her faith, that is why she has lost her powers and is cold. when she first met Jon she was barely dressed on the wall. Jon asked if she was cold and she said no the Lord of light keep her warm. now she is bundle up and has to sit by the fire. the necklace probably has a illusion spell on it to make her look young even though she is over a hundred years old. and still having sex and having children. love you guys
Real talk I've walked through a nearly frozen river before and it is exactly as mind-dominatingly miserable as one would think. Only about a minute after I got out my shoes and socks froze so severely that I actually took them off and walked barefoot on the snow and ice for the mile(ish) that I had left and it was warmer than continuing the trip with shoes on. It was so bad I almost turned around five feet less than half way across which would have increased the journey by about a mile and a half just to save myself that little bit of extra time in the river. Of my whole life the decision to continue through the river took me more will power than almost anything I've ever done even knowing that turning around would almost certainly be worse. I felt for Sansa and Theon so much when I first saw that xp and I was only about a mile away from a warm house, those two just had to deal
PS Do NOT let my lack of permanent frost bite damage convince anyone that it's okay to walk through a nearly frozen river XD
My eyes! My eyes! There is only one other scene in the show when she takes of her necklace in front of Stannis’ wife. Then she asked for the oils she had laid out on the night table unused this time. With her magic she is young looking 400 years old. I think this was meant to show she has lost faith.
Think about Stannis...
I also theorize that in that scene Selyse could see her true form, which is why she could barely look at her, and why she wasn't too jealous about her getting with Stannis to make the shadow assassin that killed Renly. I wonder if, while she was reassuring Stannis that she knew they did the thing, she was really thinking, "hehe I know something you don't know..."
Di Di Bee I definitely think this is a possibility, especially when the RedWoman says no lies are necessary for the crazy wife.
4:14 "Because I would totally slit his throat." Sorry but I can not see that happening. I don't know why but that seemed charming in a way, like a puppy trying to growl. She's too caring and nice for that haha.
Drogon is a free spirit. He marches to the beat of his own drum. Shows up when he wants leaves when he wants. lol
Why would Steven ask Nikki about the balls freezing part 😂
It's not like she can relate or understand😂😂
Us women get cold too we're pretty sensitive as well😂 so I can definitely understand and I'm sure she does as well
I'm not sure if its directly stated in the show but its been heavily implied she doesn't need to sleep, her magic keeps her vital (same as her not feeling the cold or poison etc.) So when she takes off the necklace it's her giving up basically
Y'know, Cersei is largely miss understood. Cersei is fiercely protective of her children of which she only has 1 left, everything she has done is for her children, her family. Being held captive by the High Sparrow, being forced to confess & made to do a walk of atonement has broken something in her. For good?...or for bad?
Jon called Ghost "boy" at Crasters Keep.
I disagree about her being misunderstood. I think that most people understand that her only redeeming quality is her love for her children. Everything else is done out of spite and to further her own agenda. She has shown no compassion for anyone who isn't herself or her children. Not even to Jamie. Not that this makes her much different than her father other than he was smarter.
I disagree, she's a Mother surrounded by enemies. I think the only thing she has done to suit her own wants besides adultery & incest is try to have Tyrion executed & murdered
Spectre 7734 It’s not cry clear in the show, but in the books she constantly trying to undermine people and and pull secret plans for her agenda. She does it all the time and has no compassion for others at all.
I get people think that she loves all her children, but listen to the way she talks about them. Listen to how she talked about her daughter. Not as a person in her own right, but as a way to prove that she was a good person because her daughter was good. Listen to how she talks about Tommen. Again, not as a person in his own right, but as her property that she will keep away from any rivals for his affection, without any consideration for what he would want.
None of this is actually love.
It's been a since I've read the Books but I'M NOT BUDGING!
I hope you post the next episode tomorrow ...Please :D
Yep yep yep Melisandre feels defeated, she read the flames wrong for Stannis and Jon and now she doesn’t know what to do or feel. Her removing her glamour (the ruby choker) is her accepting that she’s pretty weak, she’s seeing herself as she is, an ancient woman, for the first time in maybe centuries
Watching at work. Don't tell the boss. Shhh.
Always look forward to your GOT reactions and going on the rollercoaster ride of emotions with you both ! Thank you 😁
Lord Beric Dondarrion is who Thoros resurrected in season 3.
Melisandre is a Red Priestesses and Thoros is a Red Priest who both practice The Lord of Light.
The bond between the direwolves and the starks is even more impressive in the books .
I seriously thought Sansa and Theon were dead in the season finale when I first watched and it just made me so happy. After all they've been through, their deaths together seemed to finally stop their hurting.
What an unexpected, but welcome, surprise. After the last GOT reaction, I thought y'all were still in mourning.
I get that Jon snow is amazing character , he is (was) one of my fav , But there are a lot of amazing characters in the series , Sansa , Arya , Cersi , Bran , Theon , Yara , Daenyres and Tyrion .
Will our red woman be in the prequel series with the exact same actress?
Pretty sure the prequel furthest in production is set during the Age of Heroes, which was ~8000 years before GoT. So Mel's not born yet...from what we know.
Actually, I'm not even sure if Valyria existed back then, and I believe the books say she was born there? Or lived there at some point? I haven't read them since Dance came out in 2011, so I could be wrong...
They are supposed to be working on 4 prequels... she’ll be in ‘em all... just watch!
The Stark Direwolves "just happened" to match the gender of the Stark children, so only Sansa's Lady and Arya's Nymeria were female, and the "coincidence" extended to the runt of the litter (kind of like a bastard), was albino, so like, um, snow. (I really, really hope the next time you two go to the mountains, Steven constantly talks about how romantic it is to see all the "snuhw" falling...) Since the Stark sigil animal is a direwolf, one could say that none of this was coincidence at all, but some form of magic or an old or new god sending them a sign.
Hang tight guys this is the beginning of a rollercoaster ride of awesome what I like most about this season is there are a lot of parallels and callbacks to previous seasons example when Sansa says ‘I pledge to ask no service of you that will bring you dishonor’ that is the exact same thing Catelyn said to Brianne back then. Yeah the unsettling fact the woman pining for Stannins and tried to seduce Jon was centuries older than they were is a hard feeling to shake.
The worse was the sight of it!
It's a traditional call and respond. Did you notice Podrik knew the words?
ROBERT RODRIGUEZ First time it was ever said show wise anyways was between Brienne and Catelyn Stark which made it a sweet callback. But yeah it was nice Pod helped Sansa remember pretty sure being hunted by a psycho’s lackies makes it hard to remember word for word.
Yeah Dothraki tradition dictates that the widow of any Khal is taken to live amongst the Dosh Khaleen, (they were the old women who made Dany eat the horse's heart way back in season 1, and made the prophecy about her son). They aren't allowed to leave the city ever again. Dany should have been taken there after Drogo died, but she convinced her blood riders to not do complete their duty when she walked into the funeral pyre and birthed the dragons. The new Khal doesn't know anything about that though and is forcing her to go to the city.
Melisandre feels defeated because remember that she thought stannis was pretty much the second coming of christ and every decision she made since season 2 was based off that belief. Also she thought jon would do something but he's dead so she's really questioning her own abilities since she's constantly wrong. Even her physical appearance is a lie
Yeah...you're back! One of your best yet...From, No Brianne, we don't have time for this, to The Real Housewives remark, lol...This is the season that Sir Davos really comes to the front of the pack...He is the voice of reason!
The Real Housewives of Vaes Dothrak
"Let it go..... let it go... don't hold it back a.n.y.m.o.r.e...." Nikki's reference to "frozen," was hallarious 🤣🤣🤣
Frozen came out a few years before this season aired.
Sir Davos is so smart. hes my MVP of the episode
The Dorne Storyline is the most hated in the show....
My favorite Drogon impression 3:43 😂
Love your reactions, just a comment about the red woman. She is doubting herself and what she has been doing. I do believe that she sorry for killing a hella lot of people on behalf of stannis. Stannis who she thought was this historic myth coming again. Only to be wrong. I also do believe that she is sorry for killing shrienne(sp). She removed the necklace, to bare her real soul to her god. She took away her pride
And glamour to reveal her true self. As much as i hate her, she is broken(as she should be) she kill more than just a little girl. She did a lot of jacked up studd in the name of her god, only to WRONG. She is 2nd and 3rd,4tg,5th,etc..... guessing herself and her faith. There is alot of backstory on the books, that the show just put into the show. Even us book readers don't have her entire life yet, GRRM, hasn't given us that yet😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Melesandra gets visions. Interpretation is the problem. She's always been right about what her visions mean, but now that Stanis and Jon are dead, she is in shock, and lost with no purpose left. She was wrong. Dead wrong.
Believe me this season winter is really coming 😁😁😁
