I also love how spartan understands the reasons why people do things aside from the emotional parts. You both are great together because you show two different views of things.

The Jaime/Cersei thing is not in the books and is kind of a weird write-in by the show-runners. Most people just sort of mentally void that scene.

Just wanna say that I look forward to yalls reactions every week. It's been a really fun time watching you both enjoy this experience so much and the insight you both have is really cool because I know a lot of non book readers didn't catch some of the stuff you all have until second watches or more! Keep it up, you're both doing so well and also it's crystal clear you guys have a dynamic with one another and there's no need to further explain or defend it.
I felt the same way when I watched the first couple of reactions but the more I watched you, the less weird it seemed.
Spartan has his way. Pudgey has her way. And Pudgey doesn't strike me as the type to keep her mouth shut if he makes her upset or uncomfortable folks so everybody just chill and mind the business that pays you 😌

There have also been a lot of public or semi-public situations where Tyrion and Joffrey have been fueding and where Tyrion has made quite blatant veiled threats or mockery of the king. Tyrions wedding, the small council moment, etc. Then you layer on Tyrions threat to Cersei and her issues with him outside of that and naturally she was convinced it was his doing.

Fyi, in Westeros funerals they put like rocks with painted eyes over the eyes of the individual who died. You also saw it in the first episode at the funeral of Jon Arryn, the hand of the king.

Not sure if you remember from your comment, but not only was Janos Slynt the leader of the city watch that Tyrion sent to the wall. He was also the guy that was bought by Cersei and gave the order to kill Ned's men in the throne room, while Ned thought he would be on his side.

To Spartan's comment about Jon's vs Rob's decisions. GOT did a very good but sublte job to compare them. The both started to have a love interest at about the same time. The both technically kind of broke an oath to be with them, while in reality Jon mainly broke it to not be found out and fullfil his mission to infiltrate the Wildlings. So far Jon chose duty and honor over love.

Sure, but this show isn't just good and bad people. I've always been more drawn to the morally grey characters, feels more realistic.

I think we need to remind ourselves that Jaime is not a good person. This show began with him trying to kill a 10 year old boy by pushing him out of a window....and then he basically raped his sister.
Joseph
2023-02-11 18:10:26 +0000 UTC
I just wanna speak on Spartan for being so upset that Tyrion got blamed and said something like the writing was weak or asked if that scene was in the books. You gotta understand that everyone was at a party enjoying themselves so they were not paying attention to Tyrion's hands. The last thing they saw was Joffrey publicly humiliating his Uncle and then dying from the very drink his Uncle gave him. And you also have to keep in mind that Tywin and Cersei have been dying to get rid of Tyrion and now they finally have a "reason." Cersei does believe Tyrion did it but Tywin doesn't care, he just wants to get rid of Tyrion.
Jenny Tolls

I think also her blind hate for Tyrion contributed to that line.

It still would be rape. I think the showrunners could have made that scene way better like in the books.
Rey Jr
2023-02-11 15:48:40 +0000 UTC
I reckon you've see it more clearly while editing the episode, in Jaime's scene with Cersei, they were kissing and she kinda laid eyes on his amputated hand and sort of pulled back from the kiss as if she was disgusted. That's why Jaime said "You're a hateful woman, why have the gods made me love a hateful woman".
HDN
2023-02-11 15:35:21 +0000 UTC
I just want to touch on the Jaime/C?ersei scene. Jaime is one of the most interesting characters in this series and in the books and he's one of my favorites because of it. I know the scene seemed odd and it did come across that way a bit but what I think the show runners were trying to portray was how conflicted and angry Jamie was in that moment. He loves Cersei more than anyone on earth and always has. When he's with her, he does everything he can for her. His main goal when he was captured was to find a way back to her. That's all he cared about. When he finally got back after everything he went through she rejected him and treated him horribly. She was only affectionate with him when she wanted him to kill their brother who Jamie genuinely loves and cares for. I think in that moment he both hated himself for the person he is when he's with Cersei and hated her for this hold she has on him. It boiled over into anger and frustration because no matter what she does he can't get past his deep love for her and it's ruining him.

I liked how Tywin gave no shit about Joffrey being dead. He just gave Tommen a lesson besides his dead body with Cersei watching it

Spartan, I'm really disappointed that you didn't high five or give Pudgey her just due in coming up with solving that the necklace was involved in Geoffrey's assassination. That was actually harder to figure out IMHO than that the biggest snake in the series might have a hand in it, TBH! Made you look bad, dude.

Gonna be honest here. You guys quickly become my favorite reactors because you clearly not just binging through content for the click but genuinely get invested in stories and characters and have very thoughtful discussions about it that I kinda enjoy more than the reaction itself sometimes. The banter between the two of you is absolutely hilarious and really entertaining. Also, I must mention that Pudgey scares the living shit out of me. She is clearly a very gentle and caring soul no doubt about that but this girl often sees extremely subtle stuff coming from miles away iits pure witchcraft. Good luck for Spartan keeping any secret hidden from here lol. :)
Really enjoy your stuff guys, keep it coming!

Do NOT reveal or hint about who may have killed Joffrey. Let them work this out on their own without assistance. This is part of the BLIND REACTION.
This has not been revealed in the show. Let them have their own suspicions and theories, just like you all were able to. It's part of the enjoyment and experience. This can be discussed by you guys once we have reached that point in the show.

Dany's Valyrian makes me want to speak Valyrian! I also enjoy how Daemon in HOTD speaks it. Can't lie hearing you two say Jeor right is also great haha.
Another great reaction! Jon/Dany is great in this, but MVP of ep goes to Pod, we love a loyal squire <3 Lastly you're not summer children anymore but I must say Spartan's heart has hardened so much, he's such a cynic its kind of hilarious. Team Spartan this ep for sure

Tywin is such a beast, while he's acting like he's teaching Tommen he's really manipulating him to believe he should always listen to Tywin's command . I think Cersei realized it too, as she probably dealt with that growing up. And Tywin's reasons to Oberyn as to why they should be allies sound pretty persuasive. Instead of Jeor, I just call him Commander Mormont lol.

The Jaime/Cersei scene always grosses me out. Not only is it incest sex between brother and sister, but its in a church, and not just in a church, its next to the dead body of their son....cant really get more f***ed up than that.

This falls under the flavor lore exception.
I also just want to note for any newcomers: We do not ban people willy nilly.
Depending on the severity of the spoiler, we try to give people the benefit of the doubt and ask that they remove it (we obviously can't do this on youtube very often just due to the sheer number of comments we'd have to check up on). If its too severe we will just remove it ourselves (or warn S&P to avoid the comment altogether in Patreons case).
2. You have to violate the rules blatantly and purposefully a number of times before more severe action is taken. We want to be fair, transparent, and communicative about expectations and situations. Our top priority is to ensure the blind reactions and authenticity of S&P's experience but you have to REALLY try get such a severe result. If this happens to anyone, they and everyone else can correctly assume it will have been justified several times over.
We want to encourage open discussion and communication with the reactors, as this is something a lot of communities don't do and S&P love their community and interaction with it is a high priority of them. So we do our best to balance things so that they can remain unaffected while still continuing this, as opposed to having them not read comments like so many other reactors.
For those that want to discuss spoiler material (book, show, game, whatever) with the rest of the community without S&P, we have the show specific Discord channels for that. Cheers =)
