“You shot me,” he said incredulously.
“You always were quick to grasp a situation, my lord,” Tyrion said. “That must be why you’re the Hand of the King.”
“You … you are no … no son of mine.”
“Now that’s where you’re wrong, Father. Why, I believe I’m you writ small. Do me a kindness now, and die quickly. I have a ship to catch.”
-Tyrion XI, ASOS
what does i believe im you writ small even mean
@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679 Tyrion is saying he’s a miniature version of Tywin.
"im you writ small" has stuck in my head ever since i read it. Idk why but its such a great line
I read that exact passage for the first time about a month ago. I'm slowly working on "A Feast for Crows" right now, which is a little different from the first three with random jo name vharacter POV's. Makes it different and gives a lot of backstory, some of which we heard via other characters on the show. FYI my favorite themes are the Stark theme, Jorah's theme and pretty much ANY dragon theme. 😊
@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679it's kinda obvious lol
Charles Dance as Tywin was one of best bits casting on the show 👏 loved every scene he was in definitely favourite character.
He owned every single scene he appeared in. Can't get any better than that. Hopefully all other actors and actresses learned from him a lot of things. Best experience of their lives, playing with such a Legend.
What’s a “bits casting”
remember Melisandre told Stannis “this war of 5 kings means nothing, the true war lies to the north, death marches on the wall” and she said only Stannis can stop him, that’s why he’s there
It's hard for a first time viewer to remember everything no matter what tv show it is.
@@manvirshergill1739 Yes, and thats why he reminded him?
Don't know if you'll read the books, but I left the passage of Tywin's death below, if you're interested.
He found his father where he knew he'd find him, seated in the dimness of the privy tower, bedrobe hiked up around his hips. At the sound of steps, Lord Tywin raised his eyes.
Tyrion gave him a mocking half bow. "My lord."
"Tyrion." If he was afraid, Tywin Lannister gave no hint of it. "Who released you from your cell?"
"I'd love to tell you, but I swore a holy oath."
"The eunuch," his father decided. "I'll have his head for this. Is that my crossbow? Put it down."
"Will you punish me if I refuse, Father?"
"This escape is folly. You are not to be killed, if that is what you fear. It's still my intent to send you to the Wall, but I could not do it without Lord Tyrell's consent. Put down the crossbow and we will go back to my chambers and talk of it."
"We can talk here just as well. Perhaps I don't choose to go to the Wall, Father. It's bloody cold up there, and I believe I've had enough coldness from you. So just tell me something, and I'll be on my way. One simple question, you owe me that much."
"I owe you nothing."
"You've given me less than that, all my life, but you'll give me this. What did you do with Tysha?"
"Tysha?"
He does not even remember her name. "The girl I married."
"Oh, yes. Your first whore."
Tyrion took aim at his father's chest. "The next time you say that word, I'll kill you."
"You do not have the courage."
"Shall we find out? It's a short word, and it seems to come so easily to your lips." Tyrion gestured impatiently with the bow. "Tysha. What did you do with her, after my little lesson?"
"I don't recall."
"Try harder. Did you have her killed?"
His father pursed his lips. "There was no reason for that, she'd learned her place . . . and had been well paid for her day's work, I seem to recall. I suppose the steward sent her on her way. I never thought to inquire."
"On her way where?"
"Wherever whores go."
Tyrion's finger clenched. The crossbow whanged just as Lord Tywin started to rise. The bolt slammed into him above the groin and he sat back down with a grunt. The quarrel had sunk deep, right to the fletching. Blood seeped out around the shaft, dripping down into his pubic hair and over his bare thighs. "You shot me," he said incredulously, his eyes glassy with shock.
"You always were quick to grasp a situation, my lord," Tyrion said. "That must be why you're the Hand of the King."
"You . . . you are no . . . no son of mine."
"Now that's where you're wrong, Father. Why, I believe I'm you writ small. Do me a kindness now, and die quickly. I have a ship to catch."
For once, his father did what Tyrion asked him. The proof was the sudden stench, as his bowels loosened in the moment of death. Well, he was in the right place for it, Tyrion thought. But the stink that filled the privy gave ample evidence that the oft-repeated jape about his father was just another lie.
Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.
Reading this scene makes watching it all the more fun. Thanks for sharing
There's a channel called DavidreadsASoIaF. He has created playlists for the books in audiobooks. He does individual character voices so he brings the books alive in a different way. He also does it in individual chapters so it's easy to stop and restart. I definitely recommend listening to them while waiting for Winds.
The Hound was fighting for Arya, Brienne was fighting for a promise. Its like the Hound has become the big brother for Arya he alwase wanted The Mountain to be for him.
Yes no one ever protected him and when he spends a little time with someone he feels obligated to protect them maybe with a little incentive. Cersei, Joffrey, Sansa and now Arya. He has done a pretty good job so far even for the bad guys. Wish Arya and Brienne appreciated him before he went, he deserved a little thanks
I feel like the protects Arya because he feels guilty for not being able to protect his little sister who died when he was young, allegedly killed by The Mountain himself
“Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.” - Tyrion Lannister, A Storm of Swords
This is effectively the end of Act 1 of 3. The War of The Five Kings has hit a stalemate; The North belongs to The Boltons, House Baratheon is routed, The Greyjoys were pushed back to The Iron Islands, and with Tywin dead, The Lannister's have lost their patriarch and the one keeping the fragile alliance between Lannister & Tyrell afloat. Cersei is now effectively the head of House Lannister and we all know Margery & Olenna have no love for her. King's Landing itself also greatly despises her and The Boltons were aligned specifically to Tywin; not Cersei or Jaime.
With Mance captured, The Wildlings are no longer the big threat they were, which gives The Night's Watch some room to breathe. Stannis The Mannis coming in clutch!
Melisandre saw in the fire that the war of five kings means nothing after Davos read a letter from Maester Aemon that The Dead are coming for Westeros. She told Stannis the real war is in the north hence why he chose to aid The Night's Watch.
Edit: Fun fact, the crossbow Tyrion used to kill Tywin was Joffrey's.
Tyrions final words to Tywin, “I’m you writ small.”
I also love how Tyrion said, “Even in death, he found a way to shit on me.”
Tywin brother is the head of Lannisters not Cersei.
@@Cream-2128 If laws of inheritance are to be followed, Jaime lost them due to his King's Guard pledge, Tyrion for patricide, and this in turn leaves Cersei. She, despite being incompetent, has more influence than Kevan in terms of power within House Lannister.
@@LukaBlight69 kevan literally takes over in both the books and the show. Also Cersei is a woman and besides Dorne most of Westeros goes to the male heirs.
The bells tolling meant they've found Tywin. It signifies a dead king or the death of some other important person, or a royal wedding, as Varys had told Tyrion back during Blackwater. Hearing the bells Varys immediately realizes what has transpired and decides the game isn't worth his skin anymore, he decides to up and leave too. Varys quitting KL shows you just how important this death is. Make no mistake this is probably the single most important death based on the political consequences it has for Westeros.
When Shae goes, "Tywin... my lion," the same nickname she had for Tyrion, that was that extra bit of betrayal. Sure, she loved Tyrion on some level and sure she was heartbroken at his harsh words to her, but she gave a testimony knowing it would lead to Tyrion's death. In a real world situation, hating my ex for hurting my feelings wouldn't be justification for lying on the stand to get my ex convicted and get the death penalty. That's taking revenge way too far! Even if she thought Twyin wouldn't go through with killing Tyrion, the fact that she moved on and decided to shack up with Tywin and say all the sweet things to him that she used to say to Tyrion means she's at least now trying to play the game. She's confirmed to now be corrupted by the goings of kings landing and wanting to come up in the world. I haven't forgiven her for lying and saying Sansa plotted Joffrey's murder with Tyrion either. Sansa was rude to Shae at first but she came around. She trusted Shae. And Shae just threw her under the bus. The same way you reacted to Shae in all these episodes is how I felt about her too. I appreciated the good things she did, but I never liked her either. I didn't feel like she needed to die, but I wasn't sad to see her go. If anything, I felt more concerned for what this would possibly do to Tyrion psychologically. The ramifications for killing someone he loved. Even if he hated her, he still had love in his heart for her and it only makes sense there would be consequences for that.
Shae was for the streets from the GATE!
Shae was always a climbing hustler from day one. She wasn't smart or particularly street smart. She didn't think ahead or much about others sure, she was kind to Sansa. Probably, even enjoyed a lot of her life with Tyrion. However, she thought she was too good for even a fake real job. She wouldn't keep her mouth shut to protect herself or Tyrion. She wouldn't listen to Varys or Tyrion or Bronn or Pod (probably) about getting set up in another place and keeping everyone safe.
Compared to Roz, I know who the real "hooker with a heart of gold" is in the show.
Sansa wasn't anymore rude to her than ladies were with expecting servents to do basic servant sh*t.
Other people we like also treat servants like this. Or will. Thinking of Brienne to Pod.
@@theConquerersMama You bring up all good points.
@@Caliab I thought your points were solid too.
I think Shae was an immature street kind of sex worker. She was working Tywin's army tents as opposed to say a brothel. So I don't think she had someone teaching her to think about tomorrow or consequences. She only knew one game and honestly, wasn't interested in learning more when given the opportunity.
I feel you on Tywin’s death. Charles Dance did an amazing job portraying this character. I admired him so much, his power, the way he ruled and commanded. He was the king of Kings landing without the crown!
I felt like he was undefeated, up until the very last moment when Cersei said that for someone who is so consumed by the idea of family that he doesn’t know how to manage his own. That’s the first time I felt like Tywin was weak. And then he died in the shitter lol.
Fun fact: this episode was released on Father’s Day 🤣
And yes all the main houses have their own music themes. You should study the music because it plays an important part during different major episodes. ❤️
Yes, houses and people have their own music. Alliances have music that's "combined" of the music of those who are in it.
I don’t think I ever realized that
Stannis went north according to Melisandre's vision in the flames. She saw the army of the dead. And bro, this episode originally dropped on Father's Day🤣🤣 The nerve of the show runners😂😂👍
The actor that played Tywin is Charles Dance. He has that commanding aura in every thing I seen him in. He's a great actor.
Stannis is a man driven by his sense of duty.
He sees it as his duty as king to rule over Westeros and defend the realm.
When he hears of the attack on the Night's Watch, he sails north to defend the kingdom.
In addition, there is Melisandre, who sees him as Azor Ahai reborn, the hero who ends the Long Night.
She sees him as a leader against the threat in the north.
Her goal is not to help someone rise to power in some petty war, but she sees herself as a character in a larger game, the war of good against evil, light against darkness, life against death, ice against fire, that is what her religion is all about.
Nah, the book explained that was not why he went, Mel showed him visions. Also there was no place else in the entire kingdom Stannis would be safe. It was nothing to do with duty
@@harish123az "Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne." Stannis pointed north. "There is where I'll find the enemy I was born to fight."
I love how emotional you get. Thrones does the same to me even after seeing the whole shebang multiple times. It's not even tears of sadness. This show is just so awesome sometimes, it grabs you by the feels and doesn't let go.
That emotional investment. Sometimes it's just a release. It gets you
Ohhhh man!!!!!! Been waiting for this!! Ned, Blackwater Bay, the Red Wedding, EVERYTHING was worth it, for ME, for THIS EPISODE. This is definitely my fav episode to watch reactions to until we get to Season 6!!!! 😁😁 Doesnt get much better than this
Tywin literally caught with his pants down.
Arya says: All men must die.
The captain's reply : All men must serve.
Stannis needed to take care of the Wildling threat first before moving South. If not his army would face the Boltons up front with the Wildlings coming from behind.
As soon as Varys heard the bells, he knew someone had died (and at Tyrion’s hand). Varys had said before to Tyrion before the Battle of the Blackwater that bells toll for weddings and the death of someone important. He knew in that moment he couldn’t go back.
In the books, Shae actually faked everything with Tyrion.
It's clear from the beginning that she's taking advantage of Tyrion, and she doesn't really have any feelings for him.
Even Tyrion himself knows it deep inside, but he lies to himself all the time.
Oh, and by the way, in the books there is a completely different reason why Tyrion kills Tywin.
My lion.
Man, I wish they put that in the show.
It says a lot about how charming the actress is because had some other actresss said the same lines more people would have seen book Shae. Also the show definitely played "nice Shae" up from dramatic purposes.
Yeah, the "Tysha confession", something that the writers removed and ruined Tyrion's character arc.
@@osmanyousif7849 fr bro... he was the most white-washed character in the whole show, they completely removed his darker side and his inner conflict because he was a fan favorite, so he must be one of the "good guys".
RE Character's Theme Music: Yes some characters do have their own Themes...Ramin Djawadi was the music director of GoT and he did PHENOMINALLY..
Kit and Rose didn't know each other before GOT. He always talks about how S2 was his favorite because that's when he met Rose, and how above all the other things that GOT gave him, the greatest was Rose, and now their son. Rose may have said that she knew OF him (but not personally) because he had starred in the original production of War Horse at the National Theatre right out of drama school, and then he went to Thrones.
This is what I said.
Grey worm and Melisande went to school together and were friends before the show. My hubs and I used to overlap the stories/interviews with them because we wanted that couple to be real.
One of the best season finales. Soooo much packed in and great performances by all. I love the Tywin and Cercei scene. Lena Heady is just so good.
Thank you so much for this. Thanks to the sweet comments the other day from you and some of your subscribers. I’m hanging in here-staying warm, hydrated and calm. This has actually put a smile on my face- before I’ve even watched it. Xxx
Of course get better Rebecca 😃
Dany, Mother of Dragons and Breaker of Chains was forced to chain up her own children...It must have been the hardest decision she could have made.
Same,, i felt that the hound see them like daughters and wanted to help/save them ,,, such a great character!!
Yes, out of four starks (not counting Jon cause he’s a bastard) left he has kept two of them alive on more then one occasions each. He deserved a medal and congratulations from Brienne for doing a better job then her not a punch off a cliff
Hodor is a pure and innocent soul, and it's pretty messed up for Bran to be using him, but I don't think Bran has any malice or ill intent, it's just something he kind of has to resort to in those life or death situations. More will come to light in I think the next episode (maybe the one after). Can't wait for more GoT reactions.
true its only in emergency
I always saw Arya not killing the hound actually as her not being able to kill him after the companionship they formed. As he was on her list so if she wanted vengence she would have killed him herself however not killing him shows she had taken him off her list and had forgiven him
I think it’s more then just that. I think Arya has a real darkness in her that’s growing the more she kills and just lives in this world. In that moment when the Hound started bringing up his past misdeeds and terrible regrets Arya remembered why he was on her list in the first place and he didn’t deserve that mercy. She says this in her inner thoughts in the books but I think there was more to it which is what you said above. I think a part she didn’t vocalize was she didn’t want to be the one to put his lights out for good. She knew he made an effort to help her and has thought her some dark but valuable lessons. I think overall she was confused and preferred leaving it up to fate
@@EmBlanca I agree with you
So glad you mentioned the music! Its an incredible element of the show and it adds a lot of feeling/meaning to the shows scenes. For example, when Dany is chaining her children/dragons, the song that is playing is called breaker of chains. Which is sadly ironic because one of Danys titles is the Breaker of chains. She freed the people of slavers bay and became their mhysa but in return she had to chain her children to keep them safe! :(
There are many examples of this with other characters in the show. Many thanks to Ramin Djawadi, he really helped elevate the show.
"You'll have your revenge if you're patient enough. But will you have the stomach for it?" -Varys to Tyrion, the first time we saw the shipping crate with air holes
loved the man-tear in the closing scene. I had exactly the same reaction 1st time watching; overhwelmed by how good it was and how much had happened.. that with the music and Arya dirfting away to Braavos just had me tearing up as well!
you got yourself a supscriber!!
Like he said you can't describe it lol you just tear-up!
I love when you get real human reactions. I subscribed for the emotional investment. ❤️
Appreciate you Major. 🦁
The Hound is the greater fighter but remember he is wounded in the neck/shoulders and refused to let Arya help him care for it because she needs to use fire.
Damnnnn Major an hour long reaction? Is it Christmas already? 😍 just woke up, imma get some coffee and chill out for the next hour. Looking forward to your lore and history video as well! Keep it up my guy!
“Few of the birds that Aemon had sent off had returned as yet. One reached Stannis, though. One found Dragonstone, and a king who still cared."
Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne.
-Stannis to Jon Snow
@Paula C This should have been included in the show. Stannis needed better characterization.
Really enjoyed your journey through S4! It’s an emotional rollercoaster of a season for sure. Looking forward to your reaction for the upcoming spectacles…all I’ll say is they really opened up their wallets for the rest of the series. If you thought Watchers On the Wall was an epic battle, you ain’t seen nothin yet! Keep it up, Major!
in the books Brienne does say that she couldnt imagine anyone beating Jaime in a sword fight if he was fully healthy and had both hands. Even after such a long time being imprisoned and chained up, his hands shackled and everything, Brienee still barely managed to keep him at bay.
Melissandre said the true enemy is to the north. Stannis listens to Melissandre, that's why they went north, and why Davos' life was spared.
Wonderful reaction, good sir!
This is my absolute favourite ending for any bit of tv or cinema... it's like an adventure book jacket cover come to life; seeing Arya run along that ship, the children choir getting louder, then panning across till she's there looking to the horizon with the potential of more adventures to be had. Goosebumps.
They changed a very important thing in this episode that kind of made it a bit non-sense. When Jaime free Tyrion he confessed that Tysha never was a prostitute, Tywin made him lie about it, so Tysha was actually a girl who loved tyrion. That is why Tyrion go to kill his father, that is why Tyrion say "do not call her a whore". Tysha!.
Yeah, for how good this episode is it kinda screwed Tyrion's arc in later seasons by omitting Tysha's confession and having Tyrion kill Shae in self defence instead of murdering her like in the books.
At least Tywin's death was done justice.
Absolutely, it’s only matter of time till he reads the books . This is one of the biggest changes with the show . Also it shows how blood thirsty Tyrion is after jaimes confession!
wow I never caught this before
I honestly like it better this way, it makes the situation a lot more grey. Tyrion's murder of Tywin should feel both justified and unjustified at the same time
Brianne only won because that bite mark infection had the Hound weak.
Yes preach
The dragons are named
Drogon - named after Drogo
Rhaegal - after Rhaegar
Vyserion - after Vysearus
I may have spelled them.wrong, but you get the idea. And yes, Drogon is the biggest.
Yes after her hubby and two brothers, makes it kinda confusing though. (Viserys)
The dragons also reflect danys relationship with her brothers and explains drogons behavior rhaegal and vyserion are named after het two brothers so like family they are close to her and depend on her side there more obedient , drogon is named after drogo he's wild and does whatever be wants Just Like a dathraki but just like drogo he's also the closet to dany and is most loyal to her even tho he's doing his own thing.
What an excellent emotionally charged end to an incredible roller coster season. For so long everyone always worry and predict that the Lannisters will kill Shae, it's just that they all end up being wrong about WHICH Lannister.😭
The Red Woman looked into the flames after Davos got a raven about the white walkers.. She said that the war of 5 kings is not the Great War.. that they needed to go north..
My guy major comes thru again to feed the streeets 💪🏾
"I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne." Stannis' words.
Stopping the White Walkers has always been Melisandre's goal, in the end. The long night is the night she fears when she says it's "dark and full of terrors"
1 true King 🦌🦌🦌
I just realized Tywin sounds exactly like Mufasa. He is the real Lion King🦁😎
I think the hound just wanted a clean quick death, not to be left there - stranded.
Yes but Arya’s a bitch
"The Children" title has three meanings in this episode!
The dragon children, the children of the forest and the lannister 'children'. :)
Cant wait for Season 5🤩
I've been trying to win the crown to save the Kingdoms when I should save the Kingdoms to win the crown. Stannis mindset.
The Mountain was poisoned with manticore Venom, meaning Prince Obeyns spear was poisoned. The Red Viper was a snake.
Arya robbed the Hound and left him for dead as he did that man and his daughter.
Hands of Gold are always cold but a woman hands are warm.
Did Tywin in fact shit gold?
No major, I said the same thing. Shea was a opportunist since the tent. She saw Tyrion was soft and she was there for the come up.
Facts Simone always been looking for a come up and I get it but she never should have been trusted
And she wasn't even a very good or smart hustler. I don't begrudge hustlers/sex workers. But she wasn't even smart or realistic about her own choices. She passed up being set up in another place multiple times to keep herself and Tyrion and by extension possibly Pod & Bronn safe. Sure she was sort of kind to Sansa but not before making sure she let Tyrion and Sansa know being a servant was beneath her. 🙄 Had Sansa been any sharper she could have used this to alert Cersei.
The actress is charming so people buy it instead of seeing her as a grubby street ho. For the real "street smart hooker with a heart of gold"story I prefer Roz.
@@theConquerersMama ya Roz’s death actually hurt me. Joffrey was so sick
This is def one of my favorite episodes. I think "The Children"'s reputation has elevated a lot more in retrospect, and nowdays everyone say it's their favorite, but back then I never used to see it making those "Top 5 GoT Episodes" lists, and I would always say this is a top 5 for me, might even be top 3. I look at the Tyrion ending as that tiny silver lining inside a nightmare world of pitch black darkness. It's so tiny, but so bright! The rare upbeat Stark music at the end always gets me. You know this is peak GoT when you have that extended shot of Tyrion and Shae lying in bed, in that "head to head" position from every Y/A movie poster ever. Think Fault In Our Stars...except one has just choked out the other. You can't make this shit up 😂
I know you have a lot going on with the family but I would like to thank you for the speed of reactions to Game of Thrones.
You’re right about Shae! Love the way you have strong opinions and defend your position with intelligence. Straight up.
The people didn't just accept the Targaryens marrying off brother and sister like that.
They have met with a lot of resistance.
Faith waged war against the crown in the early history of the Targaryen dynasty.
This is the reason why the Faith lost its military arm.
For that reason alone, no one would accept the incest between Jaime and Cersei, not to mention that the claim to the throne is derived from Robert and the children were conceived outside of marriage and are therefore bastards.
Yea the only reason people put up with the targaryen incest was because they had dragons and where the top dogs who you don't fuck with but they by no means where ok with the incest they just put up with it , the lannesters while a powerful house is by no means house targaryen especially if people found out joffery , tommon and Marcella where lannaster Basterds and nobles let Basterds rule the 7 kingdoms and people had to put up with not only a corrupt king but one who wasn't actually king at all ? Needless to say there would be a lot of chaos and pretty much house lanester would be done .
@@thatoneblackdude3333 but after The old king introduced the "doctrine of exceptionalism" and made people of the faith spread it they accepted Targaryen incest, as the doctrine says they are not as other mortal men.
@@theoneaboveallthelivingtri5862 yea exactly they made themselves the exception because they ran things people didn't like it they just tolerated it
Ugh. The thumbs down if it keeps showing up is on me and only because of my fat thumbs. I didn't mean it. And everyti.e I think I fixed it - argh! Maybe I shouldn't drink and use the old tiny phone for this. 😂
My boy you’re just getting into the best this is where the real game starts🔥🔥
You can thank George RR Martin for all of the epic moments and writing this season 👌🏼
Not those other guys 😅
I was sitting in shock when I watched Breann and the Hound, what a battle! I was glad to see Tywin go, especially after doing what he did to Tyrion. I'm glad Tyrion got his payback and Valar Morghulis, Arya is on a new adventure. I loved seeing the way she was looking forward to it.
One of the reasons Tyrion hates his father has to do with the backstory of Tyrion and his first wife Tysha that he mentioned during the drinking game with Shae and Bronn; and he touched on with Sansa on their wedding night.
The scene with Jaime and Tyrion went in depth on that story in the books, but not used in the show.
Hi Major. You might find it interesting to watch the Season 4 Finale Father's Day Promo from HBO. Also, this episode was released on Father's Day. Cheers.
Damn thank you Major! It’s like you hear our thoughts and put out videos in the right moment! Cheers!
Yeah warging into human beings is kind of fucked up, forcing your will onto someone is super rapey and weird. In the books a wildling tries to warg into this woman and she screams, scratches her eyes and bites her tongue out
Been waiting for you to get to this episode for so long. Definitely the GOAT season/episode.
About Stanis,
do you remember the conversation with Stanis, Melissandre and Davos about that raven from the Night Watch?
The Red Lady burnt that letter and saw something in the flames (I hope to remember correctly). She told Stanis the war for Kings Landing is meaningless. The real war is in the north, where he has to go.
The way that George RR Martin wrote Shay, their relationship was ALWAYS transactional. Tyrion, in the books, was just fooling himself. In the show, it made her seem as if she loved him too, but Martin confirmed that it was always going to end this way.
Kit Harrington who plays Jon Snow and Rose Leslie who played Ygritte fell in love on the set of GOT, got married in real life, and had their first child in 2021. So they may not have gotten a happy ending in GOT, but they got one in real life. 🤗👏🏼👍🏼
I can’t wait to watch this after work man this is a top 5 game of thrones episode for me let’s gooooooooooooo
“You gotta go lil mama” lmaooo had me cracking up bro
The name of this episode has so many meanings. The Children of the Forest is the explicit reference, but it also refers to the Lannisters (Tywin’s Children), the dragons (Dany’s children), and the child who was killed by the dragon.
Arya is like a weird foster child for The Hound
Awww ... Best thoughts and wishes for Baby Major & Mama. ❤️
Stannis realized that he was fighting the throne to win the realm by going to Kings Landing. He finally figured out that he's unpopular. When the Night's Watch begged for help, he understood that he had to fight for realm to win the throne. He trusted Melissandre immediately as soon as she looked in the flame and saw the White Walkers. She understood that was the real war. That was what her prophecy was really about.
Interesting to think back on when Littlefinger said: "People die at their dinner tables. They die in their beds. They die squatting over their chamber pots." (Joffrey, Shae, Tywin). Some good foreshadowing.
Shit, sorry man, just saw your pin. I edited out what you said. Wasn't spoilers, but respect. Roger that, sir. Enjoy the journey brother!
I may be way off base here but to me it feels like Stannis didn't want to have to worry about the wildling threat in the north while he was fighting his campaign for the Seven Kingdoms. It also kinda makes sense to start from the north seeing as he doesn't have any major allies in Westeros so his position would have been surrounded from multiple sides if he started from Storm's End with a much smaller army than he had in season 2.
"Know their place"? What place would that be? They are MONSTERS! All three of them are feeding on animals wild or not. What did you think they were eating? The Targaryns use them as weapons because they are. I always love this scene because it is a wake-up call to those who think these are cute pets.

Yeah, I see the point, but you also have to consider in which situations Bran used it.
The first time in the tower to shut Hodor down, because otherwise the Wildlings most likely would spot and kill them.
The second time is dubios. He entered Hodors Body just save himself from that Bolton guy, that tried to kidnap him and bring him to Lord Bolton. I mean okay, they escaped because of that. Bran didn't know which side was winning and what was going on so you could argue he tried to save the whole group.
This time now he clearly saved Hodor, not himself, not Jojen, just Hodor who didn't even defend himself.
It's like giving CPR and breaking a few ribs in the process. If you take the rib smashing out of context, it's a pretty messed up thing to do.
"I know a little of this man, Sandor Clegane. He was Prince Joffrey's sworn shield for many a year, and even here we would hear tell of his deeds, both good and ill. If even half of what we heard was true, this was a bitter, tormented soul, a sinner who mocked both gods and men. He served, but found no pride in service. He fought, but took no joy in victory. He drank, to drown his pain in a sea of wine. He did not love, nor was he loved himself. It was hate that drove him. Though he committed many sins, he never sought forgiveness. Where other men dream of love, or wealth, or glory, this man Sandor Clegane dreamed of slaying his own brother, a sin so terrible it makes me shudder just to speak of it. Yet that was the bread that nourished him, the fuel that kept his fires burning. Ignoble as it was, the hope of seeing his brother's blood upon his blade was all this sad and angry creature lived for . . . and even that was taken from him, when Prince Oberyn of Dorne stabbed Ser Gregor with a poisoned spear."
"You sound as if you pity him," said Brienne.
"I did. You would have pitied him as well, if you had seen him at the end. I came upon him by the Trident, drawn by his cries of pain. He begged me for the gift of mercy, but I am sworn not to kill again. Instead, I bathed his fevered brow with river water, and gave him wine to drink and a poultice for his wound, but my efforts were too little and too late. The Hound died there, in my arms. You may have seen a big black stallion in our stables. That was his warhorse, Stranger. A blasphemous name. We prefer to call him Driftwood, as he was found beside the river. I fear he has his former master's nature."

“Sandor Clegane is at rest” Wish we got this above speech at some point also, (the broken man speech too) but no we got this tv epic quick cut fight with the whole girl power thing so we couldn’t do the quiet isle. Thanks Brienne
@@EmBlanca Yea AFFC has so many good speeches but they barely adapted this book anyway which is a shame.
A Storm of Swords - Jon X:
"Stannis! Stannis! STANNIS!"
................."Believe what you will," Jon told the King-beyond-the-Wall, "but I knew nothing of any attack."
Harma thundered past before Mance could reply, riding at the head of thirty raiders. Her standard went before her; a dead dog impaled on a spear, raining blood at every stride. Mance watched as she smashed into the rangers. "Might be you're telling it true," he said. "Those look like Eastwatch men. Sailors on horses. Cotter Pyke always had more guts than sense. He took the Lord of Bones at Long Barrow, he might have thought to do the same with me. If so, he's a fool. He doesn't have the men, he-"
"Mance!" the shout came. It was a scout, bursting from the trees on a lathered horse. "Mance, there's more, they're all around us, iron men, iron, a host of iron men."
Cursing, Mance swung up into the saddle. "Varamyr, stay and see that no harm comes to Dalla." The King-beyond-the-Wall pointed his sword at Jon. "And keep a few extra eyes on this crow. If he runs, rip out his throat."
"Aye, I'll do that." The skinchanger was a head shorter than Jon, slumped and soft, but that shadowcat could disembowel him with one paw. "They're coming from the north too," Varamyr told Mance. "You best go.".............................
"There." Jon pointed. "Gone to fight." The king led his ragged wedge into a knot of rangers, his sword flashing.
"Gone? He can't be gone, not now. It's started."
"The battle?" He watched the rangers scatter before Harma's bloody dog's head. The raiders screamed and hacked and chased the men in black back into the trees. But there were more men coming from the wood, a column of horse. Knights on heavy horse, Jon saw. Harma had to regroup and wheel to meet them, but half of her men had raced too far ahead.
Trumpets were blowing all around, loud and brazen. The wildlings have no trumpets, only warhorns. They knew that as well as he did; the sound sent free folk running in confusion, some toward the fighting, others away. A mammoth was stomping through a flock of sheep that three men were trying to herd off west. The drums were beating as the wildlings ran to form squares and lines, but they were too late, too disorganized, too slow. The enemy was emerging from the forest, from the east, the northeast, the north; three great columns of heavy horse, all dark glinting steel and bright wool surcoats. Not the men of Eastwatch, those had been no more than a line of scouts. An army. The king? Jon was as confused as the wildlings. Could Robb have returned? Had the boy on the Iron Throne finally bestirred himself? .............
Across the field one column had washed over Harma Dogshead. Another smashed into the flank of Tormund's spearmen as he and his sons desperately tried to turn them. The giants were climbing onto their mammoths, though, and the knights on their barded horses did not like that at all; he could see how the coursers and destriers screamed and scattered at the sight of those lumbering mountains. But there was fear on the wildling side as well, hundreds of women and children rushing away from the battle, some of them blundering right under the hooves of garrons. He saw an old woman's dog cart veer into the path of three chariots, to send them crashing into each other.
East and north and northeast, he saw bands of wildlings trying to stand and fight, but the attackers rode right over them. The free folk still had the numbers, but the attackers had steel armor and heavy horses. In the thickest part of the fray, Jon saw Mance standing tall in his stirrups. His red-and-black cloak and raven-winged helm made him easy to pick out. He had his sword raised and men were rallying to him when a wedge of knights smashed into them with lance and sword and longaxe. Mance's mare went up on her hind legs, kicking, and a spear took her through the breast. Then the steel tide washed over him.
It's done, Jon thought, they're breaking. The wildlings were running, throwing down their weapons, Hornfoot men and cave dwellers and Thenns in bronze scales, they were running. Mance was gone, someone was waving Harma's head on a pole, Tormund's lines had broken. Only the giants on their mammoths were holding, hairy islands in a red steel sea. The fires were leaping from tent to tent and some of the tall pines were going up as well. And through the smoke another wedge of armored riders came, on barded horses. Floating above them were the largest banners yet, royal standards as big as sheets; a yellow one with long pointed tongues that showed a flaming heart, and another like a sheet of beaten gold, with a black stag prancing and rippling in the wind.
Robert, Jon thought for one mad moment, remembering poor Owen, but when the trumpets blew again and the knights charged, the name they cried was "Stannis! Stannis! STANNIS!"
Jon turned away, and went inside the tent.
I always loved that this episode came out on Father’s Day.
I love that I found someone who loved Tywin as much as me! He was pure perfection in the role. When he was on screen - he commanded the entire scene. He was a "villain" but as you've grasped, the shows characters are so complex that no one is all good or all bad....except Ramsey, lol.
I'm so invested in this journey with you!!!!!
Yes, all the houses have their own music. The White Walkers. The Iron Bank. The Brothers Without Banners. The Dothraki. Danerys, the Starks, the, Lannisters (reigns of Castamere, *spit*) they all have different music.
Major, your wee tears are the best thing. Bless your sensitive soul
Season 4 is one of the best! So much going on and I preferred the shows turn of events rather than the books.
I hated to see Tywin go. He was by far one of my favs. Such a great actor and perfect for that role. The music in this show is phenomenal and the last scene of Arya sailing to Bravos with the music brings tears to my eyes. So powerful! Many more moments like that to come.
Can’t wait to see your reactions to season 5 and I’m waiting to see the lord vid. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
So glad you like the show so much. It's hard to pick one but I think this is my favorite episode, can't wait to see you react to the next season too!
Fun fact: the love of Tywins life, was a Lannister. His cousin, Joanna Lannister. The Mother of his children.
Brooooo! I have been waiting for this. I know how much you love Tywinn. It's a sad loss to the show. He was such a great character and you noticed the power his character had. Great performance. This finale is my 2nd favorite. ALOT going on.
5 is pretty great also so you will enjoy!
Stannis on his way to slide on them Bolton boys😂😂😂 LMAO
Here we go! Arguably one of the best episode in the entire show. I've been looking forward to your reaction for this one!
Love the genuine emotion, it's the same all of us felt when we first saw this. Keep up the GOT journey!!
10:25, Stannis, (book Stannis, as the writers decide to paint a darker version of him for the show ,as they highly favored his younger brother Renly) is the King Who Cared, and the only one who comes to protect the Night's Watch when they call for aid.
"Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne." Stannis pointed north. "There is where I'll find the enemy I was born to fight."
This man grows so much as a character. His new intent and worldview becomes to protect the Kingdom and it's people, and by that way win support for the Throne.
There are quite a few articles that say Kit (John Snow) met her while filming GOT but no biggie. I think Hodor doesn't mind Bran taking over because if he didn't they would die. We don't know what Hodor would want since he really doesn't express himself so we can all just speculate. LOL, I knew you would react this way when you saw what happened to Shay and Tywin. Boy oh Boy I can't wait to see how you react to the rest of GOT.
This episode is just bonkers! So much happens, it's my #3 favorite episode in the entire series. If you think about it, when Tyrion killed Tywin, he paid his debt to Oberyn for fighting in his trial by combat (though not the reason he killed Tywin, still...). Oberyn wanted to get the person responsible for his sister and her children's murder, and that was Tywin who ordered it. A Lannister Always Pays His Debts.
Tyrion comforting Tywin at the end is similar to Tony comforting Frank/Mel in Scarface lol but Tywin wasn't pleading with him. Lol he killed him on the throne alright...The porcelain throne 😂
Ngl I think the hound was genuinely just trying to make Arya angry to kill him cos he knew begging wouldn’t work. Before he started the insults he said he’s ready to die and she just sat there
The Hound definitely had a soft spot for the Stark girls. He was one of the more emotionally literate ppl in this show, imo, and so smart, he just was hardened and rugged and it didn’t show through in obvious ways especially in the beginning when he’d shut it off. But he genuinely hated Joffrey I think bc he genuinely hated how he was and he likewise cared for those girls for sure, I think in a pretty profound way at points. I like to think part of it is because he endured childhood trauma of his own with no one to advocate for him. He was kind of the final barrier between them and a world that rlly didn’t give a shit about their well-being.
This is the season where I caught up. Watched seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 back to back, then waited a few months to catch season 5 when it came out - can’t wait for your season 5 ep 1 review soon!
I'm glad the little lord in the next room let you finish this episode. I agree with you. I've never seen another tv show come close to GOT. I wonder if I ever will. I was wondering what you thought of Jojen's sister, Mira. She's a little badass.
The chains used to strangle Shae with were given to her as a gift by Tyrion in season 3, episode 7. Kind of ironic that he ended up killing her with them.
