Game of Thrones 6x1 Reaction & Review

Comments

It's only hinted that she can't remember things implying she's old

Juan

Also can we just acknowledge how stupid it was to leave Jon’s body just laying around when the *DEAD KEEP RISING*!? Forget not hiding their crime, they’re lucky he didn’t turn into a damn wight

Brittany Proffitt

The game of thrones books are told from characters perspectives, Bran, Tyrion, Jon, Dany...and in the whole series there is ONE chapter from Melissandra's perspective. Shes extremely intriguing and is likely hundreds of years old.

Niko

@Julien It was more for discussion of viewers. I haven't previously commented anything like this but it was in line with what spartan and pudgey were saying as "Oberyn wouldn't want this". they picked up on it themselves

Hugh S

@Munir Yeah I intentionally gave no show spoilers and only talked regarding to the book or what Spartan and Pudgey had said and picked up on themsleves pr episode watched so far. I dont think I spoiled anything, just gave fair discussion of what we've watched so far and what Spartan and Pudgey have said themselves during the reaction. I didn't comment on the last 2 seasons either in my points

Hugh S

@DrückebergerTV Whether you believe it was a good change or not, the writing was terrible. The was no dialouge, the actors were just making faces because thats what dan and dave wanted. 'Sansa' in the ramsay story line wasn't even the character Sansa anymore. It was literally Sophie Turner saying dialogue and making expressive faces. I dont like making Sansa in place of Jeyne here because it super compressed the story, took out so much more story and depth of story and involvement with the Lannisters and others with fake Arya Jeyne. The winterfell jeyne story line was amazing in the books the intrigue and all these plots of people together in winterfell, and Theon walking around like a shell/ghost being the POV for it all, Stannis converging. It also cuts out where Sansa is in the books and removes so many things that have been built up for her character. And again if you liked the change I can respect it, but without the source material they had no idea how to write Sansa the character or build a cohesive story and make the change good. Do you know the reason Dan and Dave made this change? they've admitted it on bluray. to end the show early because they didn't want todo it anymore. and mainly for the Sansa rape scene to film close ups of Sophies face and Theons face. go rewatch, they zoom in on theons face so close making such expressive faces, they believed this is what makes good writing and good quality tv and production. and they did it because they said it was to pander for Awards like emmys etc.

Hugh S

@Munir sorry haha, I typed it on my phone in a tiny line-by-line text box. I did write it properly, i dont know why it was compressed with no paragraphs.

Hugh S

@Jenny Tolls Yeah, glad you agree (my reply was to you right before you deleted your comment? do you remember what you wrote, can you repost or summarise?) I dont think they plan to read the books, I think the reason is because it sets expectations that the show is doing it different and this is a bad or good thing. I dont see a problem with discussing whats discussed in my comment. Think its directly relevant and part of the fun and not a spoiler at all. but if they think its a spoiler so be it. Also, I'm not even comparing the show to the book. The writing is poor, compared to the book or not. Even if the show was a standalone.

Hugh S

Thats what i said. It wouldve been so cool

Adrian Neagoe

I'm pretty sure that second sentence is against the rules. Just let them watch the show ffs. S&P really need to probably stop reading the comments. Non stop people setting expectations and downright spoilers.

William

@Hugh S apparently never learned about run-on sentences so Idk how tf you guys managed to decipher all that anyway

Munir

Did you watch? Spartan promoted her real time to instant love list.

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

Mostly likely also that Drogon caught their attention, but hard to see how they wouldnt have spotted him. Atleast a shadow or something to pique their interest in looking and then.. they found Dany

Wyrx

Hard disagree about Lady Stoneheart but I can't say why because they haven't watched a key part of my argument yet 😛

Lolo

Brienne and Jorah are the best, loyal to the core! Do not get hung up on fate/destiny so much, you two.

CherryPi

First Solution actually doesnt Sound that bad and Safer for them.

DrückebergerTV

It would of been cool if they watched the dance of dragons up to the point where season ends, and see characters they know from GOT speak about HOTD characters

John PAUL

Saw these last few episodes late, but I hope one of the mods or comments are telling Spartan about how show Stannis compares to book stannis. It’s great to see how much he supported him throughout the show, and like all of us, he seemed a little let down by his fate. There’s hope yet for Stannis the mannis!

anthony schifano

I find the level of investment in these "love" lists to be... interesting. Someone else below was complaining about Dany, etc not making it. The show has literally dozens of compelling characters. There are only 6 spots between S&P. Of course people are gonna get left out.

Julien

We are here to watch newbies react with fresh eyes, not preemptively sour the experience for them with writing or adaptation grievances. S&P read the comments. What exactly do you want them to do with these? Do you want them to like the show less? Be less invested? Be more alert to shitty writing? Do you think that would make for better reactions? Like, what's the point of posts like these?

Julien

Interesting. I personally really like the bravos plot. But even with that aside, I think Arya has done enough in the show to that point to cement herself as a really strong character but apparently not.

Gummybear

She not my all out favourite but I think she deserves to make the list lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gummybear

No hI didn’t he just said he loved her more so what her actions which he aalways loves Danys actions he doesn’t reprimand ofc. But he def has yet to put Brienne on his official love list but we’ll see. My point really is that Dany compared to any other character.

Seka

Jamie is parroting what cersei said to him after jofferys death. Seems like hes just saying what he thought shed want to hear from him

Nana-Afia

@SuddenImpulse030 Yeah I'm a little unclear if you were talking to one person or this entire thread? I thought these details were book-only and in the past as far as the show is concerned, so I didn't see them as a spoiler. If you disagree, I don't mind deleting my comment or having someone else delete it.

Munir

Best season of the show! For Melisandre, remember what she said to Stan is in season 2: I've been fighting far longer than you. So she's actually been around a very long time. SHE just doesn't feel any hope right now. I don't think Jaime did anything that wasn't honorable this episode. He's hurt, and just saying that they have to protect each other, and only they matter. Remember, Jaime loves his family, particularly Cersei.

Marcell

He was so brilliant on that show. I mean, he totally blew me away. The scene in the confessional???? Emmy worthy.

kelly

Coming from a female, maybe we love the characters we relate to the most, and it's not that weird that sharing a gender can play a part into that. Stop demonizing normal human behavior and let them gravitate towards the characters they want.

Cam

I deleted my comment. I don't understand why it matters if we mention what happens in the books. Do they plan on reading the books? If that's the case then its completely understandable. Im not arguing Im genuinely curious.

Jenny Tolls

If folks can't follow the rules then one of two things will happen: 1. Our mod team will screen and copy over comments for S&P to read. 2. They will stop reading the patreon comments on show videos altogether. Please.

SuddenImpulse

Please read and review the comment and spoiler rules we post on each video.

SuddenImpulse

I agree with you about Lady Stoneheart, but Sansa's book arc in the Vale is much better than seeing her abused by Ramsay (we already got plenty of that with Joffrey and Theon). Giving Sansa Jeyne's arc diminished both Sansa and Littlefinger's characters.

Munir

Giving Sansa Jeynes Arc was the second best change the show did. Best Change was removing Lady Stoneheart.

DrückebergerTV

okay those are some fair points

Jenny Tolls

Yes the point is sansa ramsay , dorne subplot etc. is all terrible writing, makes zero sense, the characters literally say nothing its just close ups of the actors making faces lol, dan and dave literally said it "we stopped writing dialouge because look at those faces.. those faces" . the problem isnt the difference, the problem is its bad, all these parts that have been changed aren't the characters from the books, they are completely changed, its literally just the actors and actresses making faces and saying lines as themselves not their character from the books. and before you say show sansa vs book sansa etc., there is no show sansa, sansa isnt real, she only exists inside the book as shes written, the show isn't show sansa, its just sophie turner talking and making faces. HOTD is a history book, not POV, its incomparable. Its sad because the books are such literary excellence and the show writers had zero experience with show running or writing, even the earlier season although adapted fairly well, the quality of earlier seasons is low, the cinematography and overall production value etc. is bad to non existent, which somewhat improves and budget for the later seasons, but then its not adapted anymore and being written without george by two people who dont know what they are doing and then the writing and characters are terrible in the later seasons, opposite of the earlier seasons. Its sad such a great piece of writing was butchered by the fools Dan and Dave. HOTD involved george and was a very faithful adaptation and had essentially 10/10 production value in all regards, it did Fire and Blood justice so far. I still enjoy watching Spartan and Pudgey watching later seasons obviously, but its hard to see these things first watch, especially when you havent finished the series yet, on rewatch of GOT its painful obvious and very bad in parts, and gets worse each rewatch. Either way looking forward to upcoming episodes!

Hugh S

I can't believe Brienne has yet to make a love or like list - what does she have to do??

Lolo

So what if it's a little different? They changed so many things from the books. The whole entire plot with Sansa and Ramsay is way different in the books. The television series can't adapt every little thing and adding stuff that you don't agree with doesn't make the show horrible. Look at House of the Dragon. That whole plot with Visery's weakening health was barley part of the story and he most certainly did not have that epic walk to the throne in the books, and yet nobody is complaining about it. It's okay if not everything is exactly like the books lol

Jenny Tolls

"Oberyn wouldn't want this" yeah thats why the Dorne sub-plot was very bad and shoddy writing, some of the worst in the show, majority is made up and not taken from George RR Martins work which is a big part of the reason as GOT's writers had zero experience writing or on shows and failed when deciding to and having to come up with their own writing, and not adapting writing from the books - The producers loved Elarias actress and said "when you get someone of her caliber you reconcieve the role to their talents" so they created a entire subplot just to have Ellaria on the show more and do more thats extremely divergent from the book and the character. As you're right about what Oberyn said and Ellaria listened to and respected him and held same beliefs, shes distraught in the books and wants it to end doesn't want action taken further as everyone involved in Oberyns sisters death are dead. Shees also a very minor character in the book, more-so in the background

Hugh S

Oh yeah, Milisandre is ancient 😂😂

Daryl

Season 5 was excellent. We forget that we’d been watching for 5 years (!) by this stage. You guys are far more informed than I was. I’d forgotten heaps and the Lore videos came out very slyly without fanfare.

Daryl

Melisandre actually being old has always intrigued me I don't know if it's true but I remember reading a theory online that she's like 300 years old and may actually be the only person alive to have seen Valyria before the doom if this is true she's the one character in Game of Thrones that could theoretically appear in House of the Dragon as well I don't know if the writers are going to go there but it would be kind of cool to see her again

Alex

Melisandre has the ability to hide her identity. She is actually 400 years old or even more that means she is alive during the dance of the dragons war. They might show her in HOTG show.

IBRAHIM ALJABOR

@fritz this is correct there are certain things you are supposed to say to and from, which is why Podrick knew the words and was helping Sansa to repeat them.

SuddenImpulse

I have Arya Red Wedding Anxiety for this season. Meaning, we’re finally here and soooo close, but now I’m afraid that the internet will no longer be a thing, or something crazy will happen like that and I’ll never get to see your season 6 reaction, because this is what I’ve been waiting for😂😂

Amber Mary

Why is there always someone trying to make it a sexist thing? Why can't you just accept that Spartan has different faves to you? It's so boring and played out.

Mzuka

The whole Braavos plotline felted a bit boring to me. Slow paced, and disconnected from everything else in a way. I remember reading (and watching) and only waiting for her "training" to be complete and to see her move on.

Chris C

Miranda dies and Ramsay says to feed her to the dogs. Never thought I’d say this about Ramsay, but DUDE WE NEEDED YOU a couple seasons ago! Specifically, when Cersei wanted the wedding feast to go to the dogs instead of the poor people—they could have done BOTH and just fed Joffrey (who died soon after that exchange) to the dogs and given the food to the people! Everyone wins! (Ramsay to Cersei: “Say your goodbyes, be sad a moment, but this is good meat.”)

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

He elevated Brienne to love list tonight, and approved of Pudgy picking Ollena for her like list, so I don’t think he’s biased against women. Dany may yet make the list. Also, LMAO that there’s “too many characters” in this show for the lists, and then a couple more characters get killed off in the episode.

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

I love Brienne. She is such an honorable character.

Ghostcat

I think it’s kinda wild how easy it is for Tormund to get on your love list as well as any other man can do the bare minimum but Dany has to prove herself consistently to even get any type recognition LOLL 😭😭 like Wow atp I can only laugh about it

Seka

@cam Is it wrong I was on the edge of my seat hoping to see Pudgey cry with happiness when Brienne and Sansa team up?

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

Brienne melts my heart with how she looks up at Sansa at the end of their vow exchange. Plus every time Sansa gets any genuine physical affection (like hugging with Theon for warmth and comfort), my heart grows three sizes.

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

To finally see Sansa and Theon get free from Ramsey was such a satisfying moment!

Ailene Evangelista

If this question was for everybody, not just for S & P (please weigh in!), my pick is JACOB BASIL ANDERSON FOR THE WIN, though I admit his later role in IwtV really gives me extra bias. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2760664/

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

That’s all fair. :) Arya’s not my favorite. But I’m glad you have a favorite character who’s made it so many seasons! You’re right, she’s had more screen time now than GW or TGB.

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

I’m curious who you guys consider your favorite actors/actresses from the series?? They’re really all amazing!

E10

I think her scenes are some of the most intriguing, her dialogue and interactions are interesting enough to carry the scene even when it’s “slower” which I don’t know how you could even say that considering she has had one of the most adventurous and diverse storylines in the show. her training journey is one of my favourite in the show and was necessary or ppl would complain it wasn’t earned. Her violence is also completely in line with her character development given her personality from the start and everything she’s gone through and the mentors she’s had.

Gummybear

Yeah I definitely don’t agree. I think her acting is spot on and her character progression has been amazing. She’s had some of the most interesting character relationships/interactions in the show and some of the most substantive development. Her storyline is unique and intriguing. Tormund and grey worm are great characters but that’s because we see them in such limited capacities that it’s exciting when we do get to see them. Even if that said I don’t think they compare to Arya as a character.

Gummybear

I love both of them and yes, I get the vibe of, “Please don’t make me ask again.” :D

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

Yes, her acting is good, but just like everyone can’t win the Emmy, not every character can steal the show. I sit up and pay extra attention when Grey Worm or Tormund are on screen, whatever they’re doing; I don’t have that reaction for Arya. A lot of it is how strong those two actors are, and the rest is their storylines are just really moving at a good clip right now, whereas Arya is entering a second season of what feels like a training montage. I’m not trying to pick at the show, writers, or actors at all—we all just have our favorites. :) Edited to add/emphasize: I agree Maise was great in this role. But having seen more of her work than what we have here, I feel her acting improves the longer she acts (as it should). But Tormund and Grey Worm? I wouldn’t change a single way they deliver their material. Perfection.

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

For me it's not the actor, Maise Williams does a great job imo especially considering she's a child actor. Last season is when I personally started to lose interest in Arya, she's either in scenes that move painfully slow or she is a dark, violent assassin that I don't relate to like I did when it was the good ole days of her and the hound

kkoe

Idk why, but when brienne says, " I once *AGAIN* offer my services" I giggle every time. I know it's not her intention to be a jab at sansa, but it was totally a, 'I told you so' kinda feeling. At least in my opinion

Nana-Afia

Nah, he never wanted to avoid the war he just wanted to win it.

Nick22

The way she plops onto bed looked like she was ready to die fs

Nana-Afia

It is known

Nana-Afia

Feel free to throw rotting food at me (I’ll just compost it), but Arya’s actor is just not at her peek yet (IMHO), whereas the actors playing Tormund and Grey Worm just OWN those characters in a very captivating way. I totally see why they beat her to the list, their actors just slay and steal their scenes. But cheer up and remember a character not being on the list doesn’t mean they’re not appreciated, it’s often that they don’t have a big active plot at the moment. :)

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

Glad you’re hyped for season 6!

Daniel Siegel

Tormund on the like list and Brienne on the love list—is it my birthday and I forgot? So much love to you two! Great reaction.

Don’tDrinkTheLuminol

I teared up reading this comment and I just know Pudgey will too if she reads this

Cam

I 100% agree. Giving spoilers to Spartan and Pudgey would ruin the whole reason we're hear, to see the show again through someone else's eyes who truly don't know what to expect. It's maddening to me that people can't stick to some pretty simple no-spoiler rules.

John Neiberger

Please people stop posting book or show spoilers.

SuddenImpulse

I was waiting on this season since you started watching game of thrones. Best season ever.

Dani

Nice way to put it. I think the vow part however is some kind of standard formality in such a situation in this world, as even Podrick knows it word for word. It's probably something lords and ladies learn when they are children. So it is not surprising or special Brienne uses it again for Sansa. Still those little common sayings, the songs, the religious prayers, ... give so much depth to this world.

fritz

Omg I love this 🥲

umu

I love Spartans faces when he’s fed up with Pudgey and she’s just laughing at him 😂😂 you guys are cute

Gummybear

That’s a beautiful way to put it 🥹

Gummybear

lol Spartan literally pronounced devotee exactly as youre supposed to

Mando the Rapper

This episode makes me cry so much. Happy, sad, mortified etc. The range of emotions we get put through. GoT showrunners are sadistic lolol Imagine waiting as long as we did after S5E10 just to only find out Melisandre is an old lady with a bald head and some sagging titties ? Lmao the rage ! 🤣 Literally from season five, all I do is cry when Theon is on screen. So happy for my girl Sansa though. Finally. A break !

kelly

That fact that Tormund made the LOVE list and Arya still isn’t on there is crazyyy. Grey worm even beat her on the like list… like what?

Gummybear

Normally I'd agree but so far for this particular video I don't really anything? Edit: ok yeah, there is a cretin in the other thread causing trouble. 🤦‍♂️

Julien

The amount of people just breaking the rules in the comments has become staggering. Not sure why people can't just let them watch the show and let them react naturally. It's what you pay for yet people seem to want to sway them one way or another. I just don't get it. Every reaction channel seems to devolve the same way.

Corey

It's known

Abdulaziz

Spartan, I thought that was a wonderful usage of the word “devotee”

Jeff

Phenomenal scene when Theon and Sansa get saved by Brienne and Podrick. Also this is genuinely one of the only times I feel some vulnerability on Cersei's part. When she is talking about how something as good and innocent as Myrcella could come from her.

Nicole Herd

brother he literally had a god on his side, I don't understand the people that hate on stannis. He is the biggest philanthropist on this show, sacrificing his entourage to avoid war.

DoudiDax

I always loved the most that, in a way, Sansa was saved by her mother and father. Catelyn tasked Brienne with getting Sansa, which she never gave up on, and the sword she used was forged from Ned’s. Then she does the same vows with Sansa she did with Cat, so emotional.

Erika Bade

But it is known, Pudgey, throughout the great grass sea and beyond ;D

fritz

The Dothraki were not searching for Dany. They are nomadic people, the whole tribe moves from place to place. Sometimes they come to a city and demand tribute or else they will attack it. It was just a coincidence, or some would call it fate, that they came by when Dany was walking away from Drogo to find out where she was. The camp you saw was either a temporary one or they just set it up when they halted there for the night.

fritz

Imagine having to wait more than a year for this episode after the way the last one ended!

crookedspin

Love Pudgey calling Brienne's sword oathkeeper. That sword was made from Ned Stark's sword (tywin melted Ned's and make 2 more, one was given to Joffrey and the other to Jaimie who gave it to Brienne.) So Ned is protecting sansa through his sword through Brienne.

Haseenudeen

Melisandre is usually always warm (remember when she made jon feel her skin), she doesn't need to sleep. That scene showed her with a fire lit and going to bed showing that she feels lost and defeated.

Haseenudeen

The next 9 episodes are going to be a wild ride!!!

Christian Stewart

dev·o·tee noun noun: devotee; plural noun: devotees a person who is very interested in and enthusiastic about someone or something. "a devotee of classical music"

Jon Biavati

Tormund is on my top 5 as well

Simone Cherie

Yes! Welcome to season 6! My favorite season ☺️

Destinee Yang

IMHO they show Melisandre's true form as another demonstration of her power. In previous seasons she's said things that hint at her being older than she appears; telling Stannis "I've been fighting far longer than you have", etc. As you guys noted, Melisandre's kind of broken at this point. She was a true believer in Stannis as the 'Prince that was Promised', now his journey has come to nothing. She takes off the necklace (source of her magic) because her faith has been shaken. Very excited to see your reactions to S6! I truly enjoyed it. I love all of GOT

Robin Lee Melendez

So ready for this Season!

Alex_Skull123

Yalls reaction to Melisandre was gold. LMAO 🤣

NeneSays

Pudgey is right, Dany is being sent to live off her days with the *widows* of dead Khal.

Chad-gon Targaryen

My favorite season is here 💙 And with each episode, I absolutely can't wait for the next one.

Marvelous JJ

Woohoo so excited to start Season 6 with y’all! I’ve watched a ton of reactors and Spartan & Pudgey truly make me laugh, I love their in depth discussions before and after the reaction & I like how they have their own opinions and don’t let anyone influence them. 🙏

Zakaria Ya

I don’t like Cersei. But atleast she didn’t burn hundreds of people including her own child like Stannis. Killing your own child is unforgivable

Rey Jr

Forgot how cathartic the Brienne/Sansa scene was!

Mzuka

Im glad pudgey said what?! cuz i was lost lol

Chris Svean

Lmao Im laughing with pudgy! I thought Spartan was saying "D Vo T" but he was saying devotee lmao
