Already Stressed... | GAME OF THRONES [2x1] (REACTION)

[@Fieryxjoe]

I love how Cersei pulls the "power is power" on Littlefinger then 15 minutes later her teenage son does it to her "Slapping me is punishable by death". Like mother like son.

[@HuntingViolets]

This is bad, but I sort of ship Cersei and Petyr in that scene. They would be hilariously evil together. I'll go away now.

[@scamtrails]

@@HuntingViolets oh, interesting! :)

[@morisakarleign3014]

@@HuntingViolets Cersei would ruin Petyr's plans. Can't believe I'm saying this but Petyr deserves way better than Cersei 🤣

[@HuntingViolets]

@@morisakarleign3014 Hahahaha.

[@HuntingViolets]

@@scamtrails In the books at one point, Cersei gives Petyr a smile like those she normally reserves for Jaime. Not that it's meaningful; everyone in the books thinks Petyr's a nice guy and useful.

[@rodan9769]

Renly got so many people because he dresses well and talks pretty lmao. The three Baratheon brothers would be a deadly combo if they merged into a single person or alternatively, went to family therapy

[@Wolltazar]

careful what you wish for. if these three merged into one, we could get an ugly, completely unlovable gay alcoholic who would even be a terrible king (nothing against gay people here, but he couldn't even have kids if not forced to..)

[@sarahobah]

So... you're saying they're the Charmed Ones of The Seven Kingdoms?😂 Actually, that checks out. Robert is Piper, Renly is Phoebe and Stannis is Paige. The power of three can set the kingdoms free. 😂😂😂

[@MariaPetrescu]

@@sarahobah I chuckled LOUDLY :D

[@harish123az]

Nah, he was also a genuine charmer and people's person, his talent was networking

[@Ahzuiii]

Yea Robert being a monstrous fighter, Renly being able to win the hearts and mind, and Stannis being a brilliant tactician.

[@DaddyDoom]

Peter Dinklage says more with a look than many actors with a 30 minute monologue. The sadness in his eyes when Sansa says "My father was a traitor" speaks volumes of his character, his empathy and humanity. Best character in the show.

You wanna talk about stress... YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT STRESS?! 🤣

[@courtredhanded]

When Sansa says that the fool doesn't deserve the mercy of a quick death, she is trying to use Joffreys logic to save the fool. Joffrey said that he gave Ned mercy by giving him a quick death. By saying the fool doesn't deserve this mercy, she's trying to prevent him from being killed on the spot. She's learning :)

[@erikperhs_]

I think that's pretty obvious

[@ioanzatui]

@@erikperhs_ You would think so, but I've watched lots of people react to GoT, and some are literally braindead when it comes to Sansa. They will outright start ripping into her saying she's betraying her family and is cruel and stupid for doing all these things while completely missing the fact that Sansa is doing it to survive and is actively trying to save others from Joffrey but she has little to no power, so there's little she can do.

[@courtredhanded]

@@erikperhs_ I didn't think it was as when Sansa said 'he doesn't deserve the mercy of a quick death', Cody said 'huh?'. His reaction made it seem like he was a bit confused.

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

And the Hound has saved her twice, now. Once when she almost pushed Joffrey to his death, which would've meant her death. And it would've been gruesome. And then he backed up her ridiculous name day comment when she saved Ser Dontos, the new fool.

[@aarrgghh]

the maester poisoned the drink -- he was willing to sacrifice himself for a chance to kill the red witch and free stannis from her influence.

[@tywinderbaum5283]

Haven't seen a single reactor who didn't hear "the dragons are all dead" and right away said joyfully "NOT ANYMORE", or something similar. Always makes me smile

[@lilbitx496]

Cersei was not talking about Catelyn and Brandon, she was talking about Littlefinger and Catelyn. Littlefinger is in love with Catelyn. Stories about a boy who was taken in by a larger house and fell in love with the youngest daughter.. Littlefinger and Catelyn

[@psychedelicpegasus7587]

Yeah and Littlefinger dueled Brandon (her betrothed; Ned's older brother) for Cat's hand and got a scar from navel to collar bone for his trouble.

[@luzhen2014]

Melisandre (red head woman) is a red priestess of R'hllor which is a completely different religion than the Seven of Westeros. R'hllor is very big on fire and being the only one true god which is why they were burning all the wooden statues of the New Gods (the Seven). Keep an eye on Stannis and Davos. They're very important.

[@generalmortars7557]

My friend, there are only two types of people in the world. Those who love Ser Davos, the Onion Knight. And those who are gonna love Ser Davos, the Onion Knight.

[@NJbakintheday]

Why do I love it so much when she says "Briiiiiidgiiiiiid"?? 😂

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

Dany told her blood riders to go find something. The one that spoke said "I will not fail you." And she said, "You never have." Then he replied, "Bad time to start." (Failing her.)

[@berjadussaussois6208]

Keep up the fast pace guys! Loving it

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

So the maester at the beginning basically raised Stannis. And he thinks the Red Woman, Melissandre, is evil. She burned the effigy of the Seven. He loved and wanted to save Stannis so much, he was willing to also drink the poison, while serving it to her. But the poison only killed him.

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

Technically Gendry and all his half brothers have more claim to the iron throne than Joffrey , which is why they were all deleted , now him and Arya are in terrible danger but i'm happy they're together .

[@zdubbs22]

the “one of those things is not like the other!” had me crying

[@BostonAmy]

Interesting fact: Emilia Clarke (Daenerys ) suffered a brain aneurysm and life threatening stroke after Season 1 finished filming. She almost died and even developed aphasia. She couldn't remember her own name. She has said that filming season 2 was torturous for her as she suffered from severe migraines and post-op pain and was on morphine for the pain. She still doesn't remember filming a lot of Season 2. Then, when season 3 filming wrapped and she was finally getting back on her feet, she suffered the same condition again. This time from an even larger brain bleed on the other side of her head. This time was even worse, invasive brain surgery and agony. She asked her parents and doctors to pull the plug. A lot of people don't survive this condition once, never mind twice. It's really an incredible story. She hid it from everyone except GoT creators. You'd never know the personal Hell she was going through Seasons 2-4.

[@BostonAmy]

@DorisDay-lw4xs Yeah, I saw the whole story, it was like a mini-documentary. She was being interviewed and they had pictures of her in the ICU. It was very serious. She said she couldn't remember a lot but to keep her brain "working" she would recite Dothraki over and over (I imagine it must hit the same part of the brain as music because it's not a real language). She said the only people who knew were Dave and Dan but you bring up a good point. She and Ian shared almost every scene together during that time and they both have said they were extremely close. Maybe she told him in secret because she didn't tell her other cast mates. I can't imagine him being unaware she was having issues. She seems like an unusually kind person. I'm glad she made it through.

[@hjalnelson9579]

How did Renly get such a big army? Remember who his boyfriend is.

[@TinaOe]

As some already said, Renly is very charismatic and good at politics. He's been Lord of Storm's End for years and there's multiple characters in the book describing his talent for charming others. It's actually something he has in common with pre-show Robert, Stannis has a part in the books where he's remembering how Robert charmed three captured Lords during the Rebellion until they ended up switching sides and joining. Renly's also supposed to look like "Robert come again" (which the show doesn't really do lol), all big and muscular and strong.

[@l.1586]

This is faster than I was expecting!!! Hype

[@majbrat]

Stannis' meister was bleeding because he was giving his life to try to poison the Red Woman, thinking she would die too and the people would be better off. However, she was immune somehow to the poison.

[@hayleyhellbound9513]

I’ve never quite understood how Stannis or anyone in his camp thought that setting up a fire with a sword in it and then pulling it out was somehow fulfilling the prophecy. If it were that easy, why hadn’t anyone else done it?

[@kevinhansen8211]

The Maesters are far more than simple teachers and advisors. They have a set world view, and they don't like people and things that prove that view wrong. Maesters take vows to heal, but they will kill if they think it is for the greater good. What Stannis' Maester did with the Red Woman was his attempt to do the greater good, he was willing to die and take her with him. He drank the poison because he knew that Stannis would likely execute him for her death. He was willing to die to serve his order, the greater good, or lesser evil.

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

Stannis knows because Ned sent him a Raven. And he only sent it to Stannis. Stannis sent a Raven to Everyone.

[@generalmortars7557]

"Joffrey is the absolute worst human being in the world." LOL, oh my sweet summer child... It's not a surprise why everyone sided with Renly, he is truly loved by many, unlike Stannis the Mannis who is, well, you've met him. "Bah-humbug, destroy them all!! Make sure you put a double exclamation point." That said, I love the Red Priestess' theme song, it's so ominous and melancholic, but also strangely soothing.

[@ISavant]

"they should run a little faster", their journey to the wall was, as said, 1000 leagues, which is about 5000km, or 3000 miles. they're travelling further than from NY to LA, and you want them to run?

The more questions answered create more questions to be asked. Following the plot lines and characters is such a pleasure - looking forward to ep 2.2

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

The new gods are the Seven. The Maesters serve them. They are also the new gods. The Lord of Light is a Fire God, sometimes the red god. But "he" is an old god. The Starks worship the tree gods (very old gods). The Bravosi believe in the Many Faced God, or Death. Maybe the oldest. They believe that all the gods are one god and his name is death, like Syrio was saying to Arya. There are a bunch more. The black black goat of Qohar. The Lion of Night. The Great Shepherd. Basically, they're all old gods, except the Faith of the Seven, from the Andals. They're Seven are like our Holy Trinity. They are a parallel of the catholic church. That's a lot. Just remember, New Gods = The Seven.

I am a HUGE Davos fan and I know you will be too. 🥰Also, when watching the Red Woman pay attention to her necklace...the jewel glows right after she states that the "fire burns it all away." What the priest did with the wine has a real historical context where a (Catholic) priest accused of witchcraft/heresy had to prove their faith through the "poison ordeal."

The old gods are the gods of the North (Ned's gods) who dwell in the weirwood trees (see Lore video you watched), the new gods are the Faith of the Seven (Warrior, Father, Smith, Maiden, Mother, Crone, the Stranger) (Catelyn's gods). Melisandre believes in the Lord of Light and is burning statues of the new gods to prove it.

Did you miss the fact that Theon told Robb Stark that Jaime Lannister killed 10 men before he was captured, and he beat Ned Stark. When he was captured Jaime Lannister suggested to Robb Stark to free him and pick his best weapons and duel him. Robb Stark admitted if we do it your way Jaimie Lannister, you will win, we are not doing it your way.
