I've rewatched this show once or twice while introducing it to loved ones, and I'm always surprised by how fast the story gets moving. It usually hits me around S4, I look back and go "Holy shit, I'm all the way here now?" Hope you guys are having fun with it!
@@thracks I actually watched this show with my mom, lol. It was hard to convince her to continue after the first episode but she powered through and has since become a fan of the world and we've been watching House of the Dragon together.
I dunno, watched the first 6 mins of this reaction. Your talking and sharing (cringy) and was less about reacting to the content. Just not on board to watch this show with how that first few went... good luck with your channel
She definitely knows all the major story beats for this season (first book) if she remembers reading it and how long it took her (3 months). Would've been nice seeing her genuine Episode 9 reactions but at least we get Maple's.
The first 3-4 seasons were pretty good Went to trash after that I felt the final season was better than previous 2 seasons but people seemed to think S6 and 7 actually made sense. It was rubbish since S5 onwards.
Also I want to say I am so glad that you are already taking notice how awesome and detailed the clothing, props, and sets are. This show is unmatched in my opinion when it comes to the aesthetic and interesting things to notice and look at in different scenes. I recall having to rewind a scene not once but twice because of how amazing the clothes were and then how amazing some random carved chairs were. I don’t particularly care about chairs at all but they were so unique and cool that I couldn’t help it.
There is a non spoiler quote from a character you won't meet for a while. I feel like it represents the start of the journey ahead. "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come."
This show has two huge examples of asshole characters being portrayed PERFECTLY by actors that are well known to be the nicest most generous people in the biz. Jack Gleeson as Joffrey, and Jason Mamoa as Drogo. They say Jack would do things like help catering carry in food and hang around set when not filming just to lend helping hands. Another super nice guy that plays FANTASTIC bullies is Jon Bernthal from Walk8ng Dead and the Punisher that should be on season 5 by now but got shafted somehow after 2.

Do yourselves a favor and do not read the comments. The fact that people are whining and complaining on the very first episode tells you all you need to know about what will happen in the future comments. Enjoy it and draw your own conclusions.
I’m excited about the ladies doing Game of Thrones, and it’s really cool that they’re doing it together. The show is so crazy that it’s perfect for reaction videos 👍
Arianna said she read the ASOIAF series, so she knows more than she's letting on. Maple is completely new to this world as far as I know. I haven't seen anything else on their channel yet.
@@carlycchapmani don't think so 3years ago she recognized ned while watching lotr it's kind of weird that if you know character by name and his "Sean Beans" characters always gets killed thing..but doesn't know anything about the show. Well who knows..
It was a really shocking moment when Bran was thrown out from that tower. Upsetting. Poor boy. Fortunately, the show never went back to such levels of violence after this.
'It took me 3 months to read the first book, and I read verrry fast' Me: re-evaluating my life choices while I remember that I read books 1-5 inside seven straight days
After I watched the first episode I immediately bought the books and started reading that same week. Season 1 follows the book pretty closely. The earlier seasons of game of thrones were pretty epic. The actors are great.
It isn't just women. All marriages among nobles are arranged. Both sons and daughters are traded for alliances. Ned didn’t choose to marry Cat. Robert didn’t choose Cersei. Joffrey didn’t choose Sansa.
I understand your point about choice/freedom to choose, but throughout real history we cannot pretend like it was both men and women who were equally considered as "trade products". Men might not have had choice in many cases like women, but the situation itself was mostly controlled and led by men. If not we wouldn't have needed centuries of struggles, protests and political lobbying to women's rights equal to that of men (atleast on paper).
@@manojkumarvc3589 this is still a ludicrous proposition. Why are you wasting your time by communicating your ill-thought ideas? Respect others, and ensure you are communicating SOMETHING of value. "Men" does not mean ANYTHING. You have to dial in to specific cultures, eras/times, and the discrete socio-economic systems. Yes, it is always males who have the ability to enforce order because of physical power, but this is under the assumption that men are not in any way influenced or instructed by women. When you make such a banal and ill-thought out comment, you invite the idea, in a context like this, to lazily think that men across the board enjoyed less struggle, when this is simply not the case. When you can articulate yourself with a measured and well-informed opinion your words may be understood and given a modicum of respect, but until then...let's not have you communicate with anyone until you can learn intellectual discipline.
@@thedappermagician6905 Aww so cute. I think my 2 degrees and my current position as a Research scholar tell me to take history and anthropology lessons from recognized research journals and books. So, I would suggest you to articulate all of whatever you just vomited into a peer reviewed paper in some Q1 or Q2 journal and send it's D.O.I to me. Then maybe, I might atleast read your sh^t without stopping after the first few non-factual and ascientific lines
@@manojkumarvc3589That’s such a shortsighted view. Who was history kind to? Men were sent to die in their kings wars, most kings were also expected to lead their men in war. History was a brutal thing for everyone, only the truly wealthy had a good time. Also, we have had female rulers throughout the world and their reigns are often some of the bloodiest. There was an African queen who made two men fight to the death for the right to stay in her bed and at morning the victor was executed, every day until she was an old woman.
Okay pro-tip: turn the closed captions on. Obviously you have to talk to each other to make a reaction video, but it's VERY important to catch everything that's said in the dialogue in order to get oriented in this world, and captions will help with that. They'll also help you with names, some of which can be confusing until you get used to them. Taking notes is also a good idea. Welcome, my sweet summer children...😈
YESSSS so happy you guys are starting this... I just found your ATLA watch a few weeks back and I've been hooked ever since. Enjoy the next few seasons!! Lookin forward to all the fun ahead :D
When I first watched S01 I had to keep skipping back to learn everyones names so that when they where talked about I would know WTH was going on 😂. You have to earn the family tree map that unlocks in Season 2.
Arianna: you'll find that the show plot deviates signiifcantly from the books, and of course, they ran out of books to adapt by the end of series 5, so they had to wing it from there. At the end of each season there was a "History and Lore" video (all on RUclips) which is a long but essential watch, especially for Maple. They do a LOT to make things clearer.
Welcome to the GoT family my sweet summer children. Since you say you're already halfway through season two, I feel that it isn't a spoiler for me to say here, I'm glad you enjoyed this mild warm up episode to get you ready for the rocky road ahead. It's going to be a wild ride but well worth all the potholes I assure you.
I watched alt shift x yt videos on game of thrones while watching really helped keep track of who everyone was and their relationships as well as filling in some info and world building missing in the show from the books if you haven't read them.
I highly recommend that you watch all of the HISTORY AND LORE videos included in this series... It will help you get a better understanding of the world and customs that govern the people in "A Song of Ice 🧊 and fire 🔥"
The deserter is one of three Ted Lasso actors that turn up in this show, (that I know of). He's a Ted Lasso regular, Jeremy, one of the guys from the pub. With his friends Baz and Paul, he tends to yell at the TV, and call Ted a w****r! The other two actors show up later in the show, so I won't mention who they are until they do. I've been enjoying your Ted Lasso reactions, thrilled to have you along for Game of Thrones too.
Every time I watch the first episode, I remember how they did Royce dirty. At least in the books, he doesn't just get merked from behind. When this pampered, snooty lordling faces one of the legendary, long forgotten threats of his world, he doesn't cower in fear, or try to run. He faces the white walker, challenges him with a badass line, even though he's probably terrified inside. The best part is... even the white walker stops for a moment. Because Royce is a First Men descendent, much like Jon Snow. Five other white walkers watch their duel; from the others' pov, he could very well be Azor Ahai. Royce actually manages to hold his own for a few strikes, with a sword that's not Ice, Dawn or Lightbringer or anything special. * sigh* Just one of those things. EDIT: Oh and subtitles please. It really helps the people watching your reactions.
I didn't realize there was that much of an age difference between you two. I hope you both have fun with all of this in spite of the community and the show's shortcomings.
GoT had issues from the get-go, but it was still very good. It started really falling off around season 5. Funnily enough that's around when they ran out of books to adapt, and the show runners were too poor of writers to fill in the gaps properly.
Now that we are halfway through season 2 on Patreon looking back at this is crazy 😭 it moved so fast omg

Arianna: looks at camera 😳
Arianna trying to act her way through some of this due to future knowledge is pretty funny.
She’s seen the show before?
Lmao nvm I just had to wait a few more seconds
I’m looking forward to seeing lots of cheeky grins and shifty eyes on that side of the screen. 😏

Alright, now we got a Sweat Damon as well as a Meth Damon. The collection grows. With every variant Matt Damon´s power grows immensely.
😂😂
Arianna and Maple, you two watching GoT together is going to be awesome. Love your reactions
Oh I'm so down for Arianna and Maple having an interactive experience with all the character constellations.
This'll be awesome.
This is gonna be wild. In its heyday GoT was the greatest series of all time in my opinion.
I feel the same way. I am so here for this.
That whole first season is pretty much flawless television
Pity about what happened to it.
The first 3-4 seasons were pretty good
Went to trash after that
I felt the final season was better than previous 2 seasons but people seemed to think S6 and 7 actually made sense. It was rubbish since S5 onwards.
@@stepheng1523
Flawless?
Nah.
Great, yes.
I love Arianna's smirk at the introduction of Cersei and Jaime Lannister😂😂
One of the few series where reading the books doesn't hurt your enjoyment of the TV show.
Also I want to say I am so glad that you are already taking notice how awesome and detailed the clothing, props, and sets are. This show is unmatched in my opinion when it comes to the aesthetic and interesting things to notice and look at in different scenes.
I recall having to rewind a scene not once but twice because of how amazing the clothes were and then how amazing some random carved chairs were. I don’t particularly care about chairs at all but they were so unique and cool that I couldn’t help it.
I can't wait for their reaction to the guy who says, "Aah! It's got warts!" IYKYK 😂
The blonde guy who runs from the child at the start is one of the 3 fans in the pub in Ted Lasso!
Both swearing like sailors the whole time and apologizing. I cant stop laughing 😂😂😂
"That's horrible..."
You don't know what horrible is yet. This show is a wild ride, so hold on tight, and away we go!
No fking way, reactions are coming
and WTF, WOW , WFT ,WOW, WTF !
There is a non spoiler quote from a character you won't meet for a while. I feel like it represents the start of the journey ahead. "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come."
Arianna has the worst poker face I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 she’s adorable yo…
The whiteboard of the family trees is actually a good idea because there are so many characters in this show.
Thanks for choosing this show before winter. It's perfect timing.
