The whole Walder Frey death is a recreation of Bran’s story he tells Osha of the Rat Cook who also violated the rights of guests and ended up being fed family members in a pie
Remember Ned's last words to Jon back in season 1. "The next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother." They never saw each other again, but presumably, Ned intended to tell him about Lyanna.
As much as I love this episode .. losing Marge was tough. She was truly someone to root for in this show (comparatively). Also her love till the last minute for her brother 😢
23:18 love you Blake, but 1000s died because Jon was a horrible commander who charged into the opposing army solo, forcing his men to lose their advantage and ride forward to protect him.
IMO this is the single best reaction-worthy episode of the series, more so than the Red Wedding. It has four separate massive reaction moments: the Sept, Tommen, Arya, and Jon's reveal.
The post show disscussion after he couldn't figured it out about Jon was the perfect time to show him the vid showing him all the Easter eggs he missed.
The trial scene with the setting, the music, the building tension and the final explosion is my favorite scene from GOT. It's all the more incredible since clues to Cersei's plan had been placed during previous episodes. - Episode 6: at the beginning, Bran has multiple visions of the past and the future, and we see the wild fire spreading underground - Episode 7 : Olenna tells Cersei that she is surrounded by enemies and asks her if she plans to kill them all by herself :) - Episode 8: when Jaime speaks to Edmure in the tent, he tells him Cersei would be ready to reduce cities to ashes for her children - Episode 8: Cersei and Qyburn discuss an "old rumor" that Qyburn's little birds confirmed, saying there was much more than they thought - Episode 9: Tyrion tells Daenerys that the Mad King had scattered caches of wild fire under several places in the city, including the sept of Balor
It was foreshadowed way before that too. She promised three different times she would burn places/cities/houses to the ground in previous seasons. She tells Tywin she will burn their house down by telling the truth about her incest when discussing how Margaery and Tywin will fight over Tommen and rip him apart. She tells Jaime she will burn the Martellsand/or Sand Snakes and/or Dorne when she gets Myrcella’s necklace as a threat. When she’s telling Tommen she’ll get Margaery out of her imprisonment and she loves him and would do anything for him to keep him save. “I will burn cities to the ground” she says to him. And if you really think about it it was her idea to use the wild fire against Stannis. Tyrion perfected the idea, but it was her idea and she says “we’ll rain fire down on them from above.” So I think it was foreshadowed since season 2 that she would do something epic with wild fire. 🔥 🦁
"You might wanna retract that statement" "You will in a minute" "Retiring?" "Wait no wait!" "Retired" lolol Blake and Corey team up in this ep. is hilarious🤣
The Frey pie... Blake's eyeroll when Igli said "I hope he chokes on his food" was pure gold! Nobody keeps a secret better than Ned. Poor Tommen gave a new meaning to "King's Landing" Incredible episode! And the score was absolutely perfect.
About Jons Dad: "It`s a pretty big bomb to drop, but I don`t think it really changes much." You have no idea HOW TRUE that is 😂 ... pretty sums up the whole 8th season 😂 Jons Dad/ real identity is extremely important, but at the same time becomes completely irrelevant. 😅 Just remember Jons most famous words: "I don`t want it." 😛
I won’t get into it here to not cause any spoilers, but I feel like people totally miss that his identity is huge and changes everything…just not in the way people thought it would. That doesn’t make it irrelevant whatsoever, it just didn’t serve the purpose people expected and wanted.
I think Benjen was read in on the Jon secret because after Brandon died, he should have moved up to Ned's former position as Holdfast to his brother and not gone to the NW, but he still went to the NW. He had to have done that to smooth the way for Jon, because Jon's life would always be in danger unless he was beyond the reach of the Realm (whoever would be in power). Benjen could be trusted because his devotion to Lyana would be same as Ned's, however Katelyn (emotional, hotheaded Tully) would give it away by not being bothered by Jon's presence or by giving him up if her children were ever in jeopardy. Ned loved her, but he knew her, and she could never know.
Ive always thought this too because of Benjen’s statement to Jon during the 1st season. Jon is talking about joining the NW and mentions not having children. Benjen then looks pointedly at Jon and says “you might not say that if you knew what it meant to give up”
I've watched videos of people that read the books and it sounds like Benjen possibly knew Lyanna was the knight of the laughing tree and that Rhaegar found her out. Perhaps as far as when she willingly left with Rhaegar, she told Benjen not to tell on her. It's why he is so sullen and went to the wall - as a self punishment.
Was or was it old wildfire the Mad King set off and was using? They could have used the exact shot again I don't remember but that could be it literally referencing the Sept or reusing it as a historical context that it was there and would be used.
Ok this is my LAST comment I promise This Lyanna Mormont speech is what made Bella Ramsay an ICON and I’m sure it’s what got her cast in the last of us and every subsequent role Also “THE KING IN THE NORTH” gave me chills recalling what happened to Rob Is the declaration a comfort?
It's such a little thing, but I love that they say the King IN the North instead of the King OF the North. Considering the reveal right before this scene, there are layers to that subtle distinction that none of the characters present are even aware of at the time.
With all of the predictions Igli has gotten right, I was surprised he didn't figure out who Jon's father is. Hope we get to see his reaction to figuring it out.
Nobody notices often but in old town at the citadel those white birds flying from the tower were the white ravens to tell Westeros that winter was finally here. And the big golden sphere hanging high in the library is the sphere in the intro of game of thrones 😊😊
Sansa's plan was incredibly nuanced. It was a calculated gamble, gambling on what she knew about Baelish, that she had chances of him helping them, because she knew how much he loved Cat, and how he wanted to undo what was done to her from Ramsey. But nothing was a certainty. Nothing is certain when it comes to Littlefinger. So in a sense, telling Jon about it could in fact make more harm than help. Imagine doing plans about someone aiding you when he never does. There is nothing worse. It would only make things more complicated and more liable to failure. Whether we like it or not, this was a desperate but calculated move on her part, that proves how smart he is. There was nothing to gain by informing others about something that might not even happen. But it was still worth the gamble, their lives were on the line after all. Littlefinger still thinked he had good chances with Sansa. Well, the gamble payed off. She basically "used" Littlefinger here for the first time, just as he "used" her so many times in the past. She is "learning" for sure.
It might given him a reason to wait another Day and maybe then her brother might not be used as bait and killed. John needed some information at leats a maybe but she has to have time to check it out.
I hated that Margaery and Loras died, but this episode is incredible. One of the best in GoT for sure. The tension of the first 10 minutes, and then great scene after great scene (and not just the deaths). And a few big reveals. And Daenerys finally sailing to Westeros with that iconic ending scene.
"The Winds of Winter" is my favorite musical score of all time (played over the beginning sequence with the wildfire and then the final shot with Cersei). It's so dang powerful.
I play this track on repeat with the phone under my pillow and just relax. Something about this track that's eerie and soothing. The Library always reminds me of The Dark Crystal.
Robert was bloodthirsty over killing Targaryians in season 1 but he probably isnt thinking or missed lots of clues. He might need some of season 7 to get it.
Back when originally seeing this, in that scene with Jaime and Bronn at the Frey's feast. All the serving girls were giving Jaime the googly-eyes, and Bronn commented on it... except that one dark haired serving wench who gave him kind of a side-eye. I turned to the friend I was watching with and said: "Damn! Could that be Arya wearing a face? None of the girls in this show scoff at Jaime." I was so pumped when it turned out to be right.
I'm genuinely shocked Igli didn't figure out who Jons father was. I've seen this a lot with different reactors....how is it not obvious??? I hadn't even watched the history and lore vids when the show aired, but it automatically clicked with everyone while watching but somehow with new reactions, the revelation goes over their heads. Before watching reactions it never even occured to me there could even be confusion over this!!!
Did you not see how horrible Cat was at making decisions & going back on her word? Ned could never tell her about Jon. Plus her hate helped SELL the lie.
And I loved the scene where Sam got to see the library for the first time... He looked like he had just arrived in heaven. And that device hanging from the ceiling in the center looks suspiciously like the mechanism we see in the opening credits.
It's a bit ridiculous to blame Sansa for the men that died at BOB. Firstly because there's no proof Sansa knew that the army is on its way. We never saw her receive a raven, and the conversation she had with Jon strongly suggests that she never did. If you recall, she was still insisting that the battle was a mistake because they didn't have enough men. She was very upset that they were certain to lose, and even told Jon that she would end her own life before going back. It would have been foolish for her to tell him that an army "might or might not" be on its way. Secondly, Jon was responsible for the men he was leading into battle. In all of his planning for the battle, he never devised a good use for the giant, and the plans he did make he completely scrapped by riding impulsively into Ramsay's trap (in spite of Sansa's warning). Once he made that move, all was lost. His men rode out there to protect him, and they were slaughtered. The killing of thousands of men on that field started with Jon's reckless ride.
She knew she had someone else to ask and she did not tell Jon. They could have waited a day or two for a possible response or meet up. That would have been reasonable for Jon vs the scenario Sansa set up where to Jon's knowledge they had zero other people to ask because they had zero other houses that would be loyal or allies to Starks. She directly caused this.
I also just noticed "Arya" as the servant eying Jaime during this reaction. I've seen all of GOT and tons of reactions! Every time you watch you can notce something else.
this episode is so packed, it's really hard to overstate how it sets the almost frenetic pace of the next two seasons. I would like you to have Igli watch the Season 7 & 8 trailers before watching the first episodes of each. Both trailers are works of art in their own right.
Well Igli...you may have lost Pycelle, Frey, Ramsay, The Septa and The High Sparrow...but you still have Littlefinger and Queen Cercei the ruler of the seven kingdoms to despise so all is not lost. I don't know about you, but my hatred for those two runs so deep that i don't need anybody else on the list. Littlefinger and Cercei more than fill that list for me.
The red wedding conspirators, $ied ironically to how they were involved. Tywin men used crossbows, Tywin died by crossbow. Bolton stabbed rob up close, Bolton was stabbed the same way by his own son. Frays son cut Caitlyn’s throat, had his neck cut by a Arya. Full circle for all involved.
“So it’s Tyrion’s fault?” YES! Finally someone realises this. Tyrion has fucked everything up by killing Tywin. Pity you got distracted on blaming Tommen.
my favorite episode in television history. Multiple payoffs that were YEARS in the making, perfectly executed. Also pretty sure this episode has like a flat 10/10 on imdb
This is the best episode of the entire series. Saponik is a true master of a director. his visuals are chilling and cinema worthy- that felt as big as lord of the rings. the score in the beginning absolutely beautiful and thrilling. after battle of the bastards which kept me on the edge of the seat i thought it couldnt get anymore tense. but it did right with the opening of this episode. i regret i couldnt see that on big screen in the cinema.
let’s goooooo!!! this was the first time ramin djawadi used piano in the game of thrones soundtrack, he said he wanted the audience to immediately suspect something was wrong. i actually have the light of the seven song added on my playlist from this episode it’s like 9 minutes lmao(edit: corey you are a legend)
In season 2 Tyrion said to the pyromancer "you will no longer be making wildfire for my sister, you'll be making it for me" So if Cersei no longer knew where they are then maybe Tyrion had them hidden.
Sansa & her letter to Littlefinger? She still needed to tell Jon. She just didn't want to 1) look dumb for trusting/asking him 2) look dumb if they didn't show up
@@tylabarros1506 because you don’t plan strategy on a possibility. ‘We go with the men We have’. She sent a raven. She had no power to command anything. She threw out a possibility and hoped. Jon wasn’t listening to her anyway.
@@cmo9400 They didn't have to plan strategy on a possibility, but Jon needed to know. She wasn't the strategist, anyway. Jon listened to her about going to the other northern houses for support and I'm sure he would have listened to her in this case. She apologizes in the next episode for not telling him, so it would seem that she recognized her mistake.
Igli has a very excellent conscience 😂 way back in 5x10 during the Walk Of Shame he said no one deserves that, and now we see why that is true: yes, Cersei is beyond morally compromised, but brutalising her in front of the city, psychologically torturing her, publicly humiliating her, traumatising her like that -- well, paying evil unto evil only means we now have twice the evil as before -- so pushing Cersei further off the edge like that just pushed her into obliterating hundreds of lives... the city (and viewers) get to cheer for ten minutes at Cersei's horrific suffering... but putting her through that only fuelled her into becoming even worse, even more unstable, even more violent, so what was the point? where did it get us? paying evil unto evil only means we now have twice the evil... book readers will know that its going to be even more terrible than what was seen here in the show 💀
I honestly think they would've given the high sparrow a forehead tattoo.. but i feel like they wouldn't make an older actor like Jonathan Pryce put on prosthetic makeup for every scene since that takes hours lol.
The White Wolf is a reference to what his sigil would be. Bastards reverse the house sigil colors. Stark is a grey wolf on a white background. So Jon's would be a white wolf on gray.
It was great ! 👍 Love each Corey's words, smiles and looks at the camera.😄 Igli, about Arya : 1- She learned how to cook a pie with Hot Pie, 2- Remember the legend of the rat cook that Bran told to Jojen and Meera just after the red wedding : do you remember why the cook got transformed into an always hungry rat ? What was he punished for ? 😉
Great Reaction to a Brilliant Episode... Igly mentioning all the JS puzzle pieces and simply not putting it all together is the funniest and most most frustrating thing ever... lol great channel guys. Best Channel on CZcams :)
🎵 Who do you blame when your kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat? 🎶 🎶 Blaming the kids is a lie and shame, you know exactly who's to blame: the mother and the father 🎵 Blake is so catty and crazy for blaming a 14 year old for becoming a puppet king lmfao really the oompa loompas said it best way back in 1971 and Blake would do well to take in their wisdom (he wont)
The school of the wolf is the Witcher school Geralt was part of. I think that is what you were thinking of. He is also called the butcher of Blavikin, but I hear he hates that name. Also, I don't know how much Marvel u have watched, but the Wakandans from Black Panhter called Bucky (the Winter Soldier) the White Wolf.
Blake - Sansa had no way of knowing if Littlefinger would keep his word or not! Should Sansa have guaranteed his arrival when she knows how he is? Only a FOOL (insert Blake’s name ❤) would trust Littlefinger at his word. Hindsight is great when you’ve seen the outcome already and knows that he does show up
Sure don't trust him, but TELL JON. Tell Jon Littlefinger has been "helping her" & betraying her but knows he is still someone they can use. Tell Jon to wait a day or two vs for some other army that will never come. She didn't because she didn't want to look dumb if Littlefinger didn't come, didn't want to give away a tiny bit of power, didn't want to put family first.
This episode is still the best bit of television I have ever watched!!! Lol the Arya reveal had me screaming my lungs out back in 2016 😂
2016 😐 8 years on and I'm still watching reactions
I didn't enjoy it much because it all smelled of fanfic.
Probably the greatest episode in the history of television
@@goatherder2967 its my fav ep that i've ever watched in all of entertainment. i still rmr when i watched it- jan 6th 2024.
The whole Walder Frey death is a recreation of Bran’s story he tells Osha of the Rat Cook who also violated the rights of guests and ended up being fed family members in a pie
Remember Ned's last words to Jon back in season 1.
"The next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother."
They never saw each other again, but presumably, Ned intended to tell him about Lyanna.
the grand daddy of reaction content. this one episode has more incredible moments to watch people react to than some series as a whole
Because they’re mostly clueless?😂 which is entertaining to watch. Lol
@@YeahItsJhon whut
This episode literally does not give you two seconds to breathe! Such a banger episode! This is tied with 4x10 for my favorite episode
Season 6 was my favorite. It was the pivotal season of the series
As much as I love this episode .. losing Marge was tough. She was truly someone to root for in this show (comparatively). Also her love till the last minute for her brother 😢
23:18 love you Blake, but 1000s died because Jon was a horrible commander who charged into the opposing army solo, forcing his men to lose their advantage and ride forward to protect him.
10:32 💯and Margaery was the only one who could sense something was wrong 🌹😔 Love her and she deserved better!
IMO this is the single best reaction-worthy episode of the series, more so than the Red Wedding. It has four separate massive reaction moments: the Sept, Tommen, Arya, and Jon's reveal.
The post show disscussion after he couldn't figured it out about Jon was the perfect time to show him the vid showing him all the Easter eggs he missed.
disagree, let him find out through the show. It will be much cooler than watching R+L=J video.
The trial scene with the setting, the music, the building tension and the final explosion is my favorite scene from GOT. It's all the more incredible since clues to Cersei's plan had been placed during previous episodes.
- Episode 6: at the beginning, Bran has multiple visions of the past and the future, and we see the wild fire spreading underground
- Episode 7 : Olenna tells Cersei that she is surrounded by enemies and asks her if she plans to kill them all by herself :)
- Episode 8: when Jaime speaks to Edmure in the tent, he tells him Cersei would be ready to reduce cities to ashes for her children
- Episode 8: Cersei and Qyburn discuss an "old rumor" that Qyburn's little birds confirmed, saying there was much more than they thought
- Episode 9: Tyrion tells Daenerys that the Mad King had scattered caches of wild fire under several places in the city, including the sept of Balor
It was foreshadowed way before that too. She promised three different times she would burn places/cities/houses to the ground in previous seasons.

"Wait, can I have some room to breathe?" Not in this episode. And that's why it's so many peoples favorite 😅
Bro was starving for air
IMHO the best episode on the show
I was rooting hard for Igli to get it. Really hope the moment it clicks is on camera
"winter is here"
"ah that explains all the snow then"
Tbf, it snows in summer as well in the North.
Igli has been cooking lately. But this was easily his worst dropped ball EVER. No theories on Jon's father!?!?! Wut.
Fr. Tbh there's not a ton of possibilities if you really consider the lore and what we have found out so far. Surprised he didn't work it out.
Yeah@@samuelhiatt9338
"You might wanna retract that statement"
"You will in a minute"
"Retiring?"
"Wait no wait!"
"Retired"
lolol Blake and Corey team up in this ep. is hilarious🤣
10:22
Igli: "oh sh!t!"
Corey: "😁🤭"
The Frey pie... Blake's eyeroll when Igli said "I hope he chokes on his food" was pure gold!
Nobody keeps a secret better than Ned.
Poor Tommen gave a new meaning to "King's Landing"
Incredible episode! And the score was absolutely perfect.
OMG!!!!!!! KING'S LANDING!!! ROFL
You should have just told Igli he already knows Jon’s father. He would go crazy.
That Davos/Mel/Jon scene is one of the most overlooked scenes in the episode. Masterclass of acting from Liam and Carice.
About Jons Dad:
"It`s a pretty big bomb to drop, but I don`t think it really changes much."
You have no idea HOW TRUE that is 😂 ... pretty sums up the whole 8th season 😂
Jons Dad/ real identity is extremely important, but at the same time becomes completely irrelevant. 😅
Just remember Jons most famous words: "I don`t want it." 😛
Sad but true i don't even want to remember how Dumb and Dumber fucked this show into the dirt in the final two seasons.
Ignorance is bliss. Some times its better not to know.
I won’t get into it here to not cause any spoilers, but I feel like people totally miss that his identity is huge and changes everything…just not in the way people thought it would. That doesn’t make it irrelevant whatsoever, it just didn’t serve the purpose people expected and wanted.
Separation of church and state: A how-to guide by Cersei Lannister.
Cersei was having the pyromancers make wild fire before Tyrion knew about it back in season 2
I think Benjen was read in on the Jon secret because after Brandon died, he should have moved up to Ned's former position as Holdfast to his brother and not gone to the NW, but he still went to the NW. He had to have done that to smooth the way for Jon, because Jon's life would always be in danger unless he was beyond the reach of the Realm (whoever would be in power).

Igli's eyebrows are getting a good work out from this episode. 😄
Absolute standout of a finale from any TV show.
Best finale was Jon, son of ice and fire, free in the north after saving the world from ice AND fire.
THe music is top-notch! Ramin is the GOAT
Daario is who we wish Criston Cole was. Daario was happy to be Dany’s side piece. We needed that energy from Crispy Cole. 😂
lmao top tier comment
Dany knows she will have to merry in westeros and so a clear already side piece ,might get Daario killed anyways
The greatest episode of GOT!
That wildfire explosion was in Bran's vision (6x6).
Was or was it old wildfire the Mad King set off and was using? They could have used the exact shot again I don't remember but that could be it literally referencing the Sept or reusing it as a historical context that it was there and would be used.
Ok this is my LAST comment I promise
This Lyanna Mormont speech is what made Bella Ramsay an ICON and I’m sure it’s what got her cast in the last of us and every subsequent role
Also
“THE KING IN THE NORTH” gave me chills recalling what happened to Rob
Is the declaration a comfort?
It's such a little thing, but I love that they say the King IN the North instead of the King OF the North. Considering the reveal right before this scene, there are layers to that subtle distinction that none of the characters present are even aware of at the time.
You lying, keep commenting. Builds in the algorithm! Also, I agree with everything you said. Bella be KILLING IT lately, and I hope they continue.
With all of the predictions Igli has gotten right, I was surprised he didn't figure out who Jon's father is. Hope we get to see his reaction to figuring it out.
He so silly
One of my favorite episodes of the show
And the best music score of GOT
This music score and the score in Ep4 season 2 of HOTD are my favorites from Djiwadi for the world of ice and fire
Best episode of GOT🎉. It has references to Ned, Cat, Robert and Rob
Nobody notices often but in old town at the citadel those white birds flying from the tower were the white ravens to tell Westeros that winter was finally here. And the big golden sphere hanging high in the library is the sphere in the intro of game of thrones 😊😊
Igli, do you remember the story bran told about the rat cook in 3-10?
Fun fact - the actor playing Lord Glover is Tim McInnerny who among many other roles also played Hugh Grant's friend Max in Notting Hill. Range!
And the actor Rhys Ifans, who's playing Otto Hightower in HOTD, was Hugh Grant's roommate in that movie also.
30:52 '96 years of air wasted' 😂😂😂
To be fair
Sansa may not have been sure that Baelish would show so telling Jon when she wasn’t sure - how would that have helped
@@user-hg3iv5hy3s sry, I didn’t notice your reaction before I posted mine! We are in COMPLETE agreement! ❤️

I hated that Margaery and Loras died, but this episode is incredible. One of the best in GoT for sure. The tension of the first 10 minutes, and then great scene after great scene (and not just the deaths). And a few big reveals. And Daenerys finally sailing to Westeros with that iconic ending scene.
Ned stark is still the goat of the show. rip eddard
Nah Cersei is not batshit she perfectly sane - JUST PURE EVIL
The greatest TV episode ever
"The Winds of Winter" is my favorite musical score of all time (played over the beginning sequence with the wildfire and then the final shot with Cersei). It's so dang powerful.
Someone, way smarter than me, pointed out, Tommen actually only made one decision in his life, and it was his last one.
I play this track on repeat with the phone under my pillow and just relax. Something about this track that's eerie and soothing. The Library always reminds me of The Dark Crystal.
Iglisms this episode: "relevations", "prisombuoy", "evedrop".
Someone please remind him why Robert started the war??!! Don't make him suffer anymore!!!!!😂
Robert was bloodthirsty over killing Targaryians in season 1 but he probably isnt thinking or missed lots of clues. He might need some of season 7 to get it.
No love for my gorl Margery?? I was devastated when I watched this, she and Olenna were the best characters
Back when originally seeing this, in that scene with Jaime and Bronn at the Frey's feast. All the serving girls were giving Jaime the googly-eyes, and Bronn commented on it... except that one dark haired serving wench who gave him kind of a side-eye.

The thumbnail is perfection 😂❤
Cersei season 1 to Ned: “when you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die”. Major power move by Cersei
I'm genuinely shocked Igli didn't figure out who Jons father was. I've seen this a lot with different reactors....how is it not obvious??? I hadn't even watched the history and lore vids when the show aired, but it automatically clicked with everyone while watching but somehow with new reactions, the revelation goes over their heads.

We all felt Iglis emotional response to the Arya reveal lmao.
9:08 - Igli: “This is kind of trauma…traumatic! 😮”
Me: Oh, NO.
Did you not see how horrible Cat was at making decisions & going back on her word? Ned could never tell her about Jon. Plus her hate helped SELL the lie.
"So is this the part where I start talking?, or were you done?" LMFAO I was like WTF
you should’ve kept talking about Jon’s father until he got it. too often reactors who don’t catch it right away end up having it click offscreen
Just wait until next episode
They should of shown him R + L = J after he couldn't get it. Show him all the Easter eggs he missed.
I just binged this reaction series and I cant believe this is where I have to now watch every week 😢
We'll be done with GOT before you know it. Winter is coming
And I loved the scene where Sam got to see the library for the first time... He looked like he had just arrived in heaven.
And that device hanging from the ceiling in the center looks suspiciously like the mechanism we see in the opening credits.
bruhhh why does blake like to hint at stuff that's about to happen 😭i love when igli is clueless before something crazy happens
It's a bit ridiculous to blame Sansa for the men that died at BOB. Firstly because there's no proof Sansa knew that the army is on its way. We never saw her receive a raven, and the conversation she had with Jon strongly suggests that she never did. If you recall, she was still insisting that the battle was a mistake because they didn't have enough men. She was very upset that they were certain to lose, and even told Jon that she would end her own life before going back. It would have been foolish for her to tell him that an army "might or might not" be on its way. Secondly, Jon was responsible for the men he was leading into battle. In all of his planning for the battle, he never devised a good use for the giant, and the plans he did make he completely scrapped by riding impulsively into Ramsay's trap (in spite of Sansa's warning). Once he made that move, all was lost. His men rode out there to protect him, and they were slaughtered. The killing of thousands of men on that field started with Jon's reckless ride.
She knew she had someone else to ask and she did not tell Jon. They could have waited a day or two for a possible response or meet up. That would have been reasonable for Jon vs the scenario Sansa set up where to Jon's knowledge they had zero other people to ask because they had zero other houses that would be loyal or allies to Starks. She directly caused this.
Only people we should blame are Dumb and Dumber for the complete character assassination for everyone from season 5 and onwards.
I also just noticed "Arya" as the servant eying Jaime during this reaction. I've seen all of GOT and tons of reactions! Every time you watch you can notce something else.
I’ve never been so disappointed in igli
Best intro to an episode ever.
this episode is so packed, it's really hard to overstate how it sets the almost frenetic pace of the next two seasons. I would like you to have Igli watch the Season 7 & 8 trailers before watching the first episodes of each. Both trailers are works of art in their own right.
Igli needs to see the compilation video that gives all the clues who Jon Snows father is.
Well Igli...you may have lost Pycelle, Frey, Ramsay, The Septa and The High Sparrow...but you still have Littlefinger and Queen Cercei the ruler of the seven kingdoms to despise so all is not lost. I don't know about you, but my hatred for those two runs so deep that i don't need anybody else on the list. Littlefinger and Cercei more than fill that list for me.
The red wedding conspirators, $ied ironically to how they were involved.
Tywin men used crossbows, Tywin died by crossbow.
Bolton stabbed rob up close, Bolton was stabbed the same way by his own son.
Frays son cut Caitlyn’s throat, had his neck cut by a Arya.
Full circle for all involved.
Never caught that thank you!
The, “Hawk-teuh,” killed me. 😂What a reference.
“So it’s Tyrion’s fault?” YES! Finally someone realises this. Tyrion has fucked everything up by killing Tywin. Pity you got distracted on blaming Tommen.
my favorite episode in television history. Multiple payoffs that were YEARS in the making, perfectly executed. Also pretty sure this episode has like a flat 10/10 on imdb
This is the best episode of the entire series. Saponik is a true master of a director. his visuals are chilling and cinema worthy- that felt as big as lord of the rings. the score in the beginning absolutely beautiful and thrilling. after battle of the bastards which kept me on the edge of the seat i thought it couldnt get anymore tense. but it did right with the opening of this episode. i regret i couldnt see that on big screen in the cinema.
let’s goooooo!!! this was the first time ramin djawadi used piano in the game of thrones soundtrack, he said he wanted the audience to immediately suspect something was wrong. i actually have the light of the seven song added on my playlist from this episode it’s like 9 minutes lmao(edit: corey you are a legend)
I thought Jon was a Baratheon at first😂.
Retiring?? 😂 💀
The quick glance up at something that was said 😅
In season 2 Tyrion said to the pyromancer "you will no longer be making wildfire for my sister, you'll be making it for me"
So if Cersei no longer knew where they are then maybe Tyrion had them hidden.
Glad to see you guys enjoy this EPIC and by far our favorite finale🔥🔥🔥
Igli ignored the last seasons trama and forgot how Robert's rebellion started.
She wasn’t sure they’d come.
Sansa & her letter to Littlefinger? She still needed to tell Jon. She just didn't want to 1) look dumb for trusting/asking him 2) look dumb if they didn't show up
@@orphanedhanyou what about her existence prior to this would make her trust anyone?
@@cmo9400She said she trusted Jon. Why not let him know that it was at least a possibility that the Vale would show up?
@@tylabarros1506 because you don’t plan strategy on a possibility. ‘We go with the men We have’. She sent a raven. She had no power to command anything. She threw out a possibility and hoped. Jon wasn’t listening to her anyway.
@@cmo9400 They didn't have to plan strategy on a possibility, but Jon needed to know. She wasn't the strategist, anyway. Jon listened to her about going to the other northern houses for support and I'm sure he would have listened to her in this case. She apologizes in the next episode for not telling him, so it would seem that she recognized her mistake.
Igli has a very excellent conscience 😂 way back in 5x10 during the Walk Of Shame he said no one deserves that, and now we see why that is true:
yes, Cersei is beyond morally compromised, but brutalising her in front of the city, psychologically torturing her, publicly humiliating her, traumatising her like that -- well, paying evil unto evil only means we now have twice the evil as before -- so pushing Cersei further off the edge like that just pushed her into obliterating hundreds of lives... the city (and viewers) get to cheer for ten minutes at Cersei's horrific suffering... but putting her through that only fuelled her into becoming even worse, even more unstable, even more violent, so what was the point? where did it get us? paying evil unto evil only means we now have twice the evil...
book readers will know that its going to be even more terrible than what was seen here in the show 💀
As they say 2 can keep a secret if 1 of them is dead
Plus Jon never wanted to be the king he thinks he is not worthy
I honestly think they would've given the high sparrow a forehead tattoo.. but i feel like they wouldn't make an older actor like Jonathan Pryce put on prosthetic makeup for every scene since that takes hours lol.
The White Wolf is a reference to what his sigil would be. Bastards reverse the house sigil colors. Stark is a grey wolf on a white background. So Jon's would be a white wolf on gray.
It was great ! 👍
Love each Corey's words, smiles and looks at the camera.😄
Igli, about Arya :
1- She learned how to cook a pie with Hot Pie,
2- Remember the legend of the rat cook that Bran told to Jojen and Meera just after the red wedding : do you remember why the cook got transformed into an always hungry rat ? What was he punished for ? 😉
Great Reaction to a Brilliant Episode... Igly mentioning all the JS puzzle pieces and simply not putting it all together is the funniest and most most frustrating thing ever... lol great channel guys. Best Channel on CZcams :)
Margaery deserved more
I’m suprised you didn’t know his father. Very suprised.😮
11:40 Y’all enjoying this a little too much, especially Igli 😂😂
🎵 Who do you blame when your kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat? 🎶
🎶 Blaming the kids is a lie and shame, you know exactly who's to blame: the mother and the father 🎵
Blake is so catty and crazy for blaming a 14 year old for becoming a puppet king lmfao really the oompa loompas said it best way back in 1971 and Blake would do well to take in their wisdom (he wont)
the reactions to the tower of joy reveal is always my favorite… but what’s the point if they don’t fully grasp the gravity of the reveal 😭😭😭
Sansa didn't tell Jon because she wanted to make sure Ramsey totally committed his soldiers to the battle.
The school of the wolf is the Witcher school Geralt was part of. I think that is what you were thinking of. He is also called the butcher of Blavikin, but I hear he hates that name.
Also, I don't know how much Marvel u have watched, but the Wakandans from Black Panhter called Bucky (the Winter Soldier) the White Wolf.
Love this eppy from start to finish..we get two new music themes as well!! XO
3 for 3 : Jamie is away from King's Landing for too long and one of his children dies (whether he is present for the death or not.)
We got a puppy viewing! 🤩
Blake - Sansa had no way of knowing if Littlefinger would keep his word or not! Should Sansa have guaranteed his arrival when she knows how he is? Only a FOOL (insert Blake’s name ❤) would trust Littlefinger at his word. Hindsight is great when you’ve seen the outcome already and knows that he does show up
Sure don't trust him, but TELL JON. Tell Jon Littlefinger has been "helping her" & betraying her but knows he is still someone they can use. Tell Jon to wait a day or two vs for some other army that will never come. She didn't because she didn't want to look dumb if Littlefinger didn't come, didn't want to give away a tiny bit of power, didn't want to put family first.
@orphanedhanyou if Sansa told Jon about LF, do you really think Jon would accept his help? Hell no.
@@cara2290Yes, begrudgingly.
my favorite episode
