I am now realizing after years how Joffrey's death has some kind of poetic justice connected to this scene since he meant to kill a man by choking him with wine. On his birthday. Which meant bad luck
"Beloved nephew! We looked for you on the battlefield, and you were now where to be found." "I've been ruling the kingdom." "And what a fine job you've done." Man Tyrion is so awesome.
then he spent like 2 minutes there and goes "well i got things to do".. he fucking came all the way there just to tell him he was too busy to hang around lmao
^I see you just came out of a padded room with a jacket on. Were the orderlies in white uniforms nice to you? But seriously, for fuck's sake, just say "FUCK"
Naomi Armitage when reading the books there was a real strength to The Hounds feelings for her. I always hoped he would end up with her but will settle for Tyrion
Sansa outsmarted him here and he even didn't realise it. The Hound betrayed him here and he didn't even realise it. Tyrion ashamed him and he realised it but was too afraid of the dwarf to say anything.
Tyrion: "My lady, I'm sorry for your loss." Joffrey: "Her loss? Her father was a confessed traitor." Tyrion: "But still her father. Surely having recently lost your own father you can sympathize." THIS is why people fell in love with Tyrion! He can stand up against any asshole and speak his mind without fear.
I came here to see one scene which was there in the books. It went something like... Joffery: "Her(sansa) stupid brother is going around calling himself a king." Tyrion: "It seems all sorts of people are calling themselves kings now a days your grace." PRICELESS... Shame it wasn't here...

People say Sansa's stupid but in this scene alone she manipulates Jeoffrey into not killing Ser Dontos. Twice. The fact she picked up on Jeoffrey equating Mercy with a quick, clean death shows how far she'd come from just the end of Season 1.
One of which came with a very timely assist from The Hound. Everybody discounts him as just another big, dumb brute, but he saw what she was doing immediately and jumped in to help.
What people don't realise is Sansa was only 12 and a half years old here who was caged and tormented. Yet she showed humanity and mercy for Dantos and was able to come up with something quick to manipulate Joeffrey enough to let Ser Dantos live!

Really missed the dialogue from the books -- Tyrion compares Sansa to "a deer surrounded by wolves." Sansa corrects him, "Lions," but Tyrion says he's only a little lion and he won't hurt her.
She knows when to play along. Joffrey, Cersei, Janos, Littlefinger... they are traitors and the greatest part about that is that orders to imprison and execute Eddard, who was still Hand of The King, came out of people who had no such authority. By Robert's will, Joffrey was not a king yet and since Robert passed away, Cersei was and is still not and will never again be the Queen.
i love at 2:07 the screen shot shows the hound quickly looking at Sansa after she says "You can't" I'll bet he was thinking something up to protect her from Joffery! Hail Sandor Clegane
I love the delivery of Joffrey's "we heard you were dead" line. You know how he feels about Tyrion and that he certainly wouldn't mourn his death, but there's still a smidge of.... I don't know, acceptance/relaxation in the way he sounds as he sees he's still alive. Almost as if he was assuming his pain in the ass Uncle would pop back up eventually.
They can't really disobey their kings orders I believe ... The only true prick without honor is Ser Meryn (sorry if I butchered his name) but that's only because we get to see who he is as person from time to time. The other two, we don't even know their names and as far as we know, they're just following orders ...
Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy and others just stood by as rhe Mad King commited horrible things against the inocent. They have as much honour as those who follow Joffrey's orders.
According to the backstory Ser Dontos was the last of House Hollard. The Hollards stood with House Darklyn of Duskendale in a failed attempt to kidnap and ransom King Aerys II Targaryen. When Barriston Selmy rescued Aerys ending the Defiance of Duskendale Aerys had the entirety of House Darklyn killed as well as all of House Hollard, every man, woman, and child. Only young Dontos survived, spared at the request of Ser Barriston to serve as Ser Barristons squire. Sadly Ser Dontos was never a particularly good knight, and even more sadly the whole incident tipped Aerys fully down the path of paranoia and madness
Tommen was too good to be in such a treacherous family as the Lannisters. If you look at his face in this scene you can tell he doesn't hold the same affinity for brutality and cruelty that the rest of his family does.
"Well struck, dog! Did you like that?" "It was well struck, Your Grace" "I already said it was well struck" ".....yes, Your Grace" Sansa is a savage I love her lol
I admire sansa she had to tip toe on eggshells and say things she would have never and do things she would have never done in the first place just to survive
Joffery: Meryn, help Ser Dontos celebrate my nameday *Meryn proceeds to drown Dontos with a keg of wine* Joffery: What are you doing??! Can't I just have a nice birthday? Guards execute Meryn!
Flying Rancid M00n Fish Tbh, I actually thought he was being somewhat nice at first. Like he was going to let him drink all he wanted [and then probably have him fight afterwards] but still let him drink. Then this happened
I love Tyrion's character here. He clearly sympathizes with Sansa. He knows she's bullshitting and it's to stay alive. I'm sure if it was within his power he would have her set free so she can go home. There's a lot of those moments of characters in the early seasons who want to help others but are clearly unable to do so and so they must do things against their nature. Like Tyrion having to turn his back on Sansa's abuse. That's the sign of a great drama. Appeals to the audience's emotion by teasing something that could potentially happen a la Tyrion rescuing Sansa, but giving them the gritty reality instead of the circumstances.
Oh my God, Sansa and Tyrion need to be reunited. Both of them have been treated like crap despite being relatively likable people and they make such a cute pair.
That's what I'm saying, this is the show and some characters have been a but altered to be more sympathetic, like Tyrion. This is more based on the actors than anything else I believe. So in the context of the show Tyrion and Sansa are still a cute couple because Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner make them a cute couple.
@De skape also I don't think so. Sandor is not even a guy that must be united with Sansa. In the book he is no less than an abuser, he felt pity for her yes. But he terrified her all the same. Just because they had some moments does not make them foreshadowed canon. IMHO, Sandor and Sansa is horrible pairing. I ship Tyrion with Sansa in the show, but in the book none of Tyrion & Sandor are ideal men for Sansa. 🤷🏻♀️
Dontos’ alcoholism is a lot more understandable when you learn his backstory. He was the last surviving member of House Holland after the Mad King had his entire family executed after the Defiance of Duskendale.
Well that was in mutual combat which was a risk fighters took in a tournament. Ordering an execution is a bit more direct. Also he did get a year of war so in a way the axiom held true.
So I've watched this scene a couple of times already. You have to give her some credit where it is due. With everything that is happening, and what Sansa is seeing, she knows for a fact her life is in danger and she's doing everything she can to keep herself alive. Still can't believe that it's taken me this long to really realize why Sansa nonchalantly said that.
+svennie pennie You missed the point completely. The lie was about that superstition. Is it an actual superstition that is held or did Sansa make it up to save the man and Sandor supported her lie? So I have no idea what your question is supposed to be about. And yes, you could kill someone if you force to drink enough of anything until their bellies explode.
+jessc1979 Nobody knows wether that's true or not in Westeros, this is the only mention of it. My point was that Joffrey died by drinking poisoned wine.
+jessc1979 it's possible it was a lie but I wouldn't be sure. He never went straight against injustice, even when he didn't like it. When Jeoffrey was having Sansa beated, he just stood there and did nothing. If Jeoffrey had ordered him to beat her, he would have done that, even if he wouldn't like it. If Tyrion didn't arrive, Shansa would have been beaten very very badly that day. Only after Tyrion said he was having none of that and ordered somebody to give Sansa a mantel or something to cover herself, the Hound offered his. He is not in the position to oppose a noble man or a King and it wouldn't be in his nature to do so in any case case, so I wouldn't be sure he lied.
I liked it better in the books that The Hound didn’t even bother competing because it was all beneath him. He’d already one the _real_ tournament, the one for Ned, they didn’t even have enough knights to fill out this one.
Besides Tyrions brother Myrcella and Tommen truly loved Tyrion and treated him like family and not like a monster or dwarf. Tyrion was wrong to say Jamie was the only member in his family that didn’t treat him like a monster.
I would love to see what season 7 Sansa would have acted if she was back in that position. Also, I just realized that Sansa was why Sir Dontos had his life spared and later on in season 4 he saves her life.
First of all, the stripes are facing the wrong way for the american flag, secondly the stars aren't stars but crowns, and thirdly y'all all talk a bunch of shit but when something big happens who do you look to for guidance? That's right. The U.S.A.
Untrue actually. He's wearing red, pink,gold,and blue. Also even if he was several other places have the exact same colors as America. Examples: France, Russia, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, Taiwan and Czech Republic.
I love how Sansa has figured out that the best way to survive Joffrey’s petulance is to tow the “party line” and unsubtly kiss his ass. And how Tyrion picks up on it and grows to respect it.
I think Sansa wasn't really stupid, but she had been groomed to appear dim. That's why she seemed like a slow learner when in fact she was unlearning fake naivete.
No. In ancient Rome they would punish people in this manner who disrespected royalty or nobles when drunk in their presence. This same kind of punishment can also be seen in the movie Caligula.

I love Tyrion's character here. He clearly sympathizes with Sansa. He knows she's bullshitting and it's to stay alive. I'm sure if it was within his power he would have her set free so she can go home. There's a lot of those moments of characters in the early seasons who want to help others but are clearly unable to do so and so they must do things against their nature. Like Tyrion having to turn his back on Sansa's abuse. That's the sign of a great drama. Appeals to the audience's emotion by teasing something that could potentially happen a la Tyrion rescuing Sansa, but giving them the gritty reality instead of the circumstances.
I Love the look in Tyrions eyes when sassa Recited her loyalty to Joffery... "Of course you are"
“this one doesn’t like me”
“can’t imagine why” 😂😂
Tyrion is such a good uncle
Oh my God, Sansa and Tyrion need to be reunited. Both of them have been treated like crap despite being relatively likable people and they make such a cute pair.
Tyrion abuses Sansa in the books?
Citation needed.
That's what I'm saying, this is the show and some characters have been a but altered to be more sympathetic, like Tyrion. This is more based on the actors than anything else I believe. So in the context of the show Tyrion and Sansa are still a cute couple because Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner make them a cute couple.
De skape I agreed with you until you said Sansa is going to end up with The Hound. He’s a grown ass man and Sansa is a child
@De skape also I don't think so. Sandor is not even a guy that must be united with Sansa. In the book he is no less than an abuser, he felt pity for her yes. But he terrified her all the same. Just because they had some moments does not make them foreshadowed canon. IMHO, Sandor and Sansa is horrible pairing. I ship Tyrion with Sansa in the show, but in the book none of Tyrion & Sandor are ideal men for Sansa. 🤷🏻♀️
Why do people always have to ship Sansa with old men that abused her
Dontos’ alcoholism is a lot more understandable when you learn his backstory. He was the last surviving member of House Holland after the Mad King had his entire family executed after the Defiance of Duskendale.
Tyrion is one of the few people to mock the Hound straight to his face
0:33 that was her one shot at manipulating him the same way Margaery Tyrell did.
“It would be bad luck to kill a man on your nameday.”
Glances at the huge puddle of blood.
“A little late for that…”
It was wine
@@roguevlogs4424 they threw a knight over the bridgehe desd
Well that was in mutual combat which was a risk fighters took in a tournament. Ordering an execution is a bit more direct.
Also he did get a year of war so in a way the axiom held true.
“We looked for you on the battlefield, but you were nowhere to be fouuuuund…” 😂😂😂
The hound has such a great speaking voice!
Let’s all agree it was rather well-struck
I fucking love Jofferys actor he is the perfect casting for a childish king
I like that despite how you could easily take it as him being cool,the guards know it's torture time based off of previous commands
So I've watched this scene a couple of times already. You have to give her some credit where it is due. With everything that is happening, and what Sansa is seeing, she knows for a fact her life is in danger and she's doing everything she can to keep herself alive. Still can't believe that it's taken me this long to really realize why Sansa nonchalantly said that.
I love how Marcella and Tommen love Tyrion. ❤
2:19 Was that Sandor lying to support Sansa because he doesn't like bullies?
+svennie pennie Obviously about that line about "What a man sow's on his name day, he reaps all year." Is that true or did he just make that up?
+jessc1979
Trying to kill a man by making him drink wine, can you think of anyone else who died by drinking wine?
+svennie pennie You missed the point completely. The lie was about that superstition. Is it an actual superstition that is held or did Sansa make it up to save the man and Sandor supported her lie?
So I have no idea what your question is supposed to be about. And yes, you could kill someone if you force to drink enough of anything until their bellies explode.
+jessc1979
Nobody knows wether that's true or not in Westeros, this is the only mention of it. My point was that Joffrey died by drinking poisoned wine.
+jessc1979 it's possible it was a lie but I wouldn't be sure. He never went straight against injustice, even when he didn't like it. When Jeoffrey was having Sansa beated, he just stood there and did nothing. If Jeoffrey had ordered him to beat her, he would have done that, even if he wouldn't like it. If Tyrion didn't arrive, Shansa would have been beaten very very badly that day. Only after Tyrion said he was having none of that and ordered somebody to give Sansa a mantel or something to cover herself, the Hound offered his. He is not in the position to oppose a noble man or a King and it wouldn't be in his nature to do so in any case case, so I wouldn't be sure he lied.
I like that they had a horn with an open end ready, in case anybody wanted to play a drinking game.
It was actually a fairly common funnel. Much cheaper than copper or iron. Horn was the plastic of it's day.
I love that opening, probably one of my favorite fight scenes in the show, I'm pretty sure it's the only one with Maces.
Sansa survived with her intelligence so many people fail to see that. The way she controlled her emotions and relied on mind was magnificent
I just realized that Tyrion reminds me of Dr. House with his jokes, intonations and facial expressions 😎
Strangely, of all the scenes in this series, this one is one I remember the best.
I think this is the moment when Sansa starts to become badass. Just small things here and there. All Hail Queen Of The North!
vomits
I liked it better in the books that The Hound didn’t even bother competing because it was all beneath him. He’d already one the _real_ tournament, the one for Ned, they didn’t even have enough knights to fill out this one.
Sansa is so beautiful and clever here
"See that he drinks his fill"
*Proceeds to start shoving barrels down this throat*
"Wtf guys I said give him a wine not drown him"
Besides Tyrions brother Myrcella and Tommen truly loved Tyrion and treated him like family and not like a monster or dwarf. Tyrion was wrong to say Jamie was the only member in his family that didn’t treat him like a monster.
I would love to see what season 7 Sansa would have acted if she was back in that position.
Also, I just realized that Sansa was why Sir Dontos had his life spared and later on in season 4 he saves her life.
"Beloved nephew" - strikingly richer than that appalling season finale. Lol
Ser Dontos the Red
Overweight
Foolish
Shows up late to a fight
Has American flag armor
Coincidence?
That's the house Hollard sigil.
exactly
SuperFunnyGuy "most Americans aren't overweight..." No that's why America has the highest population of obese people in the world
FoolishInk America isn't even in the top 10 for most obese by population.
I dont think so
0:56 .... i just realised thats lothor brune. What a sad short cameo he has
Ser Dontos appears to be wearing the American flag.
A fat drunken fool late to the fight and happy for more wine? Sounds legit.
First of all, the stripes are facing the wrong way for the american flag, secondly the stars aren't stars but crowns, and thirdly y'all all talk a bunch of shit but when something big happens who do you look to for guidance? That's right. The U.S.A.
Troll Master ... We’ll see your country on the podium at the next Olympics. We’ll just have to look down to do so.
Untrue actually. He's wearing red, pink,gold,and blue. Also even if he was several other places have the exact same colors as America.
Examples: France, Russia, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, Taiwan and Czech Republic.
I love how Sansa has figured out that the best way to survive Joffrey’s petulance is to tow the “party line” and unsubtly kiss his ass. And how Tyrion picks up on it and grows to respect it.
Joff being the easiest to manipulate character without realising it.
Some say Lothar Brune the Freerider still stands there to this very day waiting for an opponent.
I love the sounds sandor makes in the Helm.
Asmr....
The growls of a battle-craved beast.
Jerry: I thought it was well-struck.
Rick: I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK, JERRY!
I think Sansa wasn't really stupid, but she had been groomed to appear dim. That's why she seemed like a slow learner when in fact she was unlearning fake naivete.
Back when the show did *gradual*, masterful character development. Moments like this should have kept coming!!
I've got a thing for Tyrion in an armor
1:31 the hound was used to his masters call, the cruelty, the violence, and the trouble jofferys rule wrought on all
anyone else realize at 8 seconds in the hound is shielded with his left hand...and 15 seconds in he is shielded with the right?
Sansa totally saved that dudes life
Yep. And in the books, he does a lot to help her because of it, actually getting a bit of a redemption arc
Tommen chewing his medieval gum.
shh you caught me
Mastica, it was used since the time of the Ancient Greeks and was also popular with the romans.
I like that he’s smart enough to know that Sansa just saved his life
I just realized, the crown is too small to fit properly on Joffrey's head. Literally, the crown doesn't suit him. That's clever symbolism
Joffery doesn't realize Sansa is manipulating him to survive but Tyrion picks up on it immediately.
Beloved nephew!
Then you realise he’s only referring Tommen in here
@2:35 Tomen laughing when he starts throwing up
no i was relieved that he wasnt going to die
wait does this mean he fucking rehearsed this with his guards in the hope someone shows up drunk
apparantley so
No. In ancient Rome they would punish people in this manner who disrespected royalty or nobles when drunk in their presence. This same kind of punishment can also be seen in the movie Caligula.
Yipes.
"A man reaps what he sows on his name day"
Dies choking from poisoned wine.
This is my favorite scene in the entire series.
04:25 "Yours, my nephew. I'm here to do your job."
1.22
ALMOST! A Captain America shield and costume.
i loved season 2 so much
