I am reminded yet again how much I loved the first 4-5 seasons thanks to this video but also how much I quite enjoyed the meetings of these particular characters sharing insight about world news in this universe.

The bullet passed through her brain and did no damage. I can believe that.

34:28 PLEASE TELL ME THE FART WAS ADDED

*"Are you telling me the Crown is 3 millions in debt?"* *"I'm telling you the Crown is **_6_** millions in debt."* *"How could you let this happen?"* It's Ned's shocked face and tone that get me XD

Advertisements every 3 minutes this video sux dislike 👎

33:39 I never caught this scene of Qyburn smirking at Tyrell LMAO

These scenes are so good! The political side of game of thrones was far more entertaining to me than the action scenes. Shame the quality of writing fizzled out to the end..

I love how they are all positioned at the first one. Renly is playfully leaning on his chair, Pycelle has sunk into his seat, Littlefinger is standing nonchalantly by himself and Varys is sitting towards the table with his back turned but is the only one to get up and greet Ned when he enters. Such a simple and quick way to get across so much characterization.

It's funny looking back all these years later, Varys *stressed* to Ned that the Small Council members served *at his pleasure* at the very first meeting.

best thing i ever spent 40 minutes on

Is Zorro in this episode?

Imagine people like Ned stark would be today leaders ❤❤

13:03 They are like children finding their headmaster in their classroom.

ned should have sacked littlefinger when he heard the crown was 6 mil in debt

Is Olivier's Richard III the gold standard? Must say Ian Holm's interpration was very good too.

They dress up to do yard work.

It is funny how so many Sherlock Holmes villians have Irish surnames when Arthur Conan Doyle had one himself.

'It is not that he ever betrayed any sign of love .... all emotions like that are abhorrent to his cold, precise mind. He only looks on women pathologically ...' Pish! What real woman would care for the certificate of a try-hard 'eccentric' clutz like sherlock holmes ... or shall I say, his pathetic, try-hard creator, arthur conman doyle. As if he did not have the wits to realize that if he found women's general behaviour unsatisfactory, it is the innate misogyny of insecure men that is to blame.

At 4:20 why did he looked surprised ??

The commenters below rightly wax poetic about Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, but they completely miss the range of this brilliant actor. To see Mr. Brett's range in all its glory, watch the musical "My Fair Lady" (the 1964 version). There you will see Jeremy Brett in is breakthrough ingenue role. I won't spoil it for you by telling you the role he plays. Just watch it and find him. It won't be hard. Boy, could that man SING! And he had the acting chops to hold his own against Wilfrid Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway, and Rex Harrison.

Does anyone notice how the small council chamber has les and less light each season. By the end it was quite dark. As if to symbolize the aproaching winter

Everyone has their favorite pairs for Sherlock and Watson, regardless these two did an excellent job.

Jeremy Brett is to Sherlock Holmes is like David Suchet was to Poirot. Not the only actor to play their character but a definitive performance

I don’t think Lord Tyrell is stupid, he’s playing the game.

This is the best

The way cersei goes from "Im queen" to "Daddy please dont make me do this" is so epically glorifying for tywin

03:23 the fact that a drunken Horse race took place is hilarious to me.

Is this richard the 3rd????

Thank you for posting these! I watch them when I should be working!

One of the best of the series. Holmes does actual detective work. There's a couple (The Solitary Cyclist for example) that just have him along for the ride as it unfolds. Here, his work is moving the story forward, including ensnaring the murderer.

Shakespeare's Richard telling you in a five minute scene exactly who he is and his motivations....modern writers take note

Terrible camera work, it should be constant close ups! His back to the camera! 😲😦🥹

One of the saddest stories that I have ever seen!

Richard III: Act 1, Scene 1 RICHARD, DUKE OF GLOUCESTER Now is the winter of our discontent1 Made glorious summer by this son of York;2 And all the clouds that low’r’d upon our house3 In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.4 Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths,5 Our bruised arms hung up for monuments,6 Our stern alarums chang’d to merry meetings,7 Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.8 Grim-visag’d War hath smooth’d his wrinkled front;9 And now, in stead of mounting barbed steeds10 To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,11 He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber12 To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.13 But I, that am not shap’d for sportive tricks,14 Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;15 I, that am rudely stamp’d, and want love’s majesty16 To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;17 I, that am curtail’d of this fair proportion,18 Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,19 Deform’d, unfinish’d, sent before my time20 Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,21 And that so lamely and unfashionable22 That dogs bark at me as I halt by them- Henry VI, Part 3: Act 3, Scene 2 Why, love forswore me in my mother’s womb;153 And for I should not deal in her soft laws,154 She did corrupt frail nature with some bribe,155 To shrink mine arm up like a wither’d shrub,156 To make an envious mountain on my back,157 Where sits deformity to mock my body;158 To shape my legs of an unequal size,159 To disproportion me in every part,160 Like to a chaos, or an unlick’d bear-whelp161 That carries no impression like the dam.162 And am I then a man to be belov’d?163 O monstrous fault, to harbor such a thought!164 Then since this earth affords no joy to me165 But to command, to check, to o’erbear such166 As are of better person than myself,167 I’ll make my heaven to dream upon the crown,168 And whiles I live, t’ account this world but hell,169 Until my misshap’d trunk that bears this head170 Be round impaled with a glorious crown.171 And yet I know not how to get the crown,172 For many lives stand between me and home;173 And I-like one lost in a thorny wood,174 That rents the thorns, and is rent with the thorns,175 Seeking a way, and straying from the way,176 Not knowing how to find the open air,177 But toiling desperately to find it out-178 Torment myself to catch the English crown;179 And from that torment I will free myself,180 Or hew my way out with a bloody axe.181 Why, I can smile, and murder whiles I smile,182 And cry “Content” to that which grieves my heart,183 And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,184 And frame my face to all occasions.185 I’ll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall,186 I’ll slay more gazers than the basilisk,187 I’ll play the orator as well as Nestor,188 Deceive more slyly than Ulysses could,189 And like a Sinon, take another Troy.190 I can add colors to the chameleon,191 Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,192 And set the murderous Machevil to school.193 Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?194 Tut, were it farther off, I’ll pluck it down.

Can we all agree the council got more shit done with Ned than it did with any council past season 6?

A little detail Worth noting, with every meeting, you see it function less and less like an actual council or administrative body. As It becomes filled more and more with yes men and infighting...

The lighting is horrible, everyone looks like they have a bright spotlight shining at them

Jeremy Brett was Sherlock Holmes.

10:15 "EXPLAIN!! Mr Cubit. And COME TO THE POINT!" - lol I just love how Jeremy Brett played Holmes - someone of such high intelligence as Holmes has very little tolerance for babbling, so he played him brilliantly

This is such a SAD, TRAGIC story....when re-watching this series I always have mixed emotions when I come to watch this episode, as I know how sad it's going to make me feel 😔😔😔😔😔.... I keep torturing myself (after this latest watching) as to how it could possibly have had a better outcome, but I can't imagine.....maybe if Slaney hadn't taken his gun out as he was backing out of the window, then Hilton might have just let him go. In the original story Slaney says that he drew out his revolver just to scare Cubitt off, but of course Hilton wouldn't have known that - of course he would have thought Slaney might have been about to shoot him, so fired for his own self-defence, and maybe that of his wife also.....a tragic set of circumstances which possibly could not have had any other outcome😢😢😢 What about you? What do you all think??

Its insane how everytime you rewatch after gaining an understanding of what actually happened ned stark shines more and more as one of the best characters to ever exist in the show

Crap show

This is the saddest of the stories to me.

Robert was right.. on Daenerys

All these political maneuvering to have zero meaning in a fan fict ending.

40 years old today. Brett’s 1st wearing the Cap.

I'm now 67. I used to love this series when I first watched them back in the 80s. But now on second viewing I have neither patience nor love for it and find the whole Sherlock Holmes business nothing but a soporific. Jeremy Brett was really the only reason ever to watch, who gave some life to otherwise moribund stories. My past fondness for the series was really only a fondness for the actor, much as it was my fondness for Basil Rathbone who first incarnated Sherlock Holmes so very long ago. Very sadly I read the following: "Basil Rathbone is synonymous with Sherlock Holmes.He played the Victorian sleuth in the fourteen Fox/Universal films of the 1930s and ’40s, as well as on stage and radio. For many people, he is the Holmes.Basil Rathbone grew to hate Sherlock Holmes.The character placed restrictions on his career: before Holmes he was an esteemed theatre actor, appearing in Broadway plays such as The Captive and The Swan, the latter of which became his launchpad to greater stardom. But he never, ever escaped his most famous role.Basil Rathbone was not Sherlock Holmes.In The Curse of Sherlock Holmes, celebrated biographer David Clayton looks at the behind-the-camera life of a remarkable man who deserved so much more than to be relegated to just one role."

He is so overacting, it's almost a comedy.

Right. The cartridge case was lying on the ground from a revolver. Right.

And after that meeting Marlo disbanded the Small Council with his final words “one more thing, the price of the brick going up”
