Battle of the Bastards! - Game of Thrones S6 Episode 9 Reaction

[@shannonbrigante5764]

Fun fact.. the shield that Ion picks up inside Winterfell has the Bear Island sigil.. proving Lady Mormont’s 62 men made a difference.

[@scoobysnacks]

Brilliant! I never noticed that.

[@Belladonna313]

Always loved that they came back into the story helping Jon take down Ramsey with one of their shields 😂

[@maxwelldurrans9272]

They should have married rickon to lyanna if he survived to grow house mormont, they deserved to be big as house as the Boltons.

[@luigicavallo270]

Jon beating the living shite out of Ramsay is pure bliss!

[@geraldtodd6633]

Suzy, thank you for mentioning the smirk on Sansa's face at the end. Most reactors don't mention it because they are to busy reacting to Ramsey's death at the dog's dinner table.

[@yogeshkumarallum2540]

People don't realize how horrible is getting surrounded is. Few men can easily suppress a large force by surrounding them

[@fernandoa589]

It easy to get surrounded by shields when all your troops are confined into a small space and have no formation. The shields spread themselves around them and surrounded them. It use to happen a lot back in ancient history.

[@brooklynnewyork23]

The Battle of Cannae they had a ridiculous superior force and lost 75,000 in minutes. After losing their commanders early into the battle their leaderless army fell right into a trap. It's kind of horrific to think they were just being hacked down, packed so tight together they couldnt even raise their arms to defend themselves

After this episode aired the actor who played Rikkon tweeted ‘Had a good run #shouldazigzagged ‘

[@34powerman]

Episodes 9 and 10 of each season are just always amazing😮.I think it took several months to film this episode. The horses in the scene where John pulls out the sword they are all actually running towards him. And the same with the one-shot horses and people running everywhere. U should watch the making of this episode. Congratulations on the marriage🍾🥳best wishes from Ireland 🍀

[@lexlewis550]

The night is dark and full of terrors 😎🥶 congratulations beautiful people!!!

[@lifesajoke6965]

If they just invested in some decent armor for the giant he could've taken out most of that army by himself.

[@thaichi11]

Woohoooo! I love you guys so much. Congratulations on joining journeys and sharing the experience with us. I wish you all the love and laughter that a couple can possibly have. ❤❤❤❤

[@deltablaze77]

A shield wall was very effective tactic used in many historic battles, most often the group on the wrong side of the shield wall died.

[@davidlynch433]

That one take sequence is just incredible.

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

Actually, Jon's been not listening to Sansa for quite a while. And he still isn't. Think about everything Sansa has been through since Ned was imprisoned. She's 100% right when she said no one can protect anyone. She was right about Rickon, and she was right that they needed more men. And she was right when she told Jon not to do what Ramsey wanted him to. Sansa knows everything. Think of all the psychopaths she's learned from. Starting with Cersei. The Hound. Littlefinger. Ramsey. Jon still knows nothing. When he wouldn't listen, she knew he would absolutely forbid working with Littlefinger. If she had told him. He would've said no, and they would've both died.

[@shootingreal5945]

Yeah but Sana was talking out of both sides of her mouth bc she is the one who used rescueing Rickon as a major reason to guilt trip John into going to fight for winterfell and a few epis later she is like, oh yeah we are never getting him back..it was like WTF Sansa.

[@pjfsr7024]

​@@shootingreal5945 WTF Sansa??... she apparently read the symbolism of a dead wolf head BETTER than you, I had 9 people at my house ALL said Rickon will be dead, some though he was on the XXX's, I thought Jon and Sansa would win but upon entering Winterfell Rickon be front and center skinned like the old woman..A final dig at the Starks from Ramsay, instead he used Rickon to mind fook Jon out of his plan. Sansa was right, Jon lost and Sansa's plea was answered, though LF took his time on purpose.

[@Victoria-kv9oz]

I absolutely do not agree that Jon would have refused to work with Little Finger. He didn’t want to accept help and men from Ramsey Bolton to help at The Wall cuz he murdered Robb but he did anyway because they needed more men at The Nights Watch. Sansa knows she was wrong. Jon has done nothing but been upfront with her. Sansa is the one that’s sending secret scrolls and hiding the fact that she might have had Little Fingers army. Jon is the one fighting and putting his life on the line and Sansa should’ve trusted and respected him enough to at least let him know they “may” have more men instead of yelling at him that they needed more men.

[@shootingreal5945]

@pjfsr7024 Well Sansa shouldn't have baited Jon by using Rickon as a reason to go after winterfell..you can't dance around the fact that she did that.

[@pjfsr7024]

@@shootingreal5945 That was a fact she told Jon, not a bait, NONE of the Starks or NONE of the other houses would be Safe if they didn't take back Winterfell FACT,FACT. Another fact ,Ramsay kills Osha, you knew before he even sent the letter that Rickon wasn't going to survive. Here Sansa spoke truth Rickon Died, in S1, she lied and Lady died, but both those deaths were not caused by Sansa's words, they were caused by a vindictive woman in S1 and a vindictive ass hole in S6. Those are facts. Sansa is the only Stark who actually sees clearly what's happening, and part of that is she was around all the snakes who willingly or not showed how they operated. She gave Jon facts and he ignored her inputs and he almost died along with Rickon. Rickon's best chance of survival was if Jon stayed put, as low as that was, this is also a fact.

[@majbrat]

You guys looked wonderful in the few pics I saw. I hope it was a joyful time for all. Congratulations!!! Great episode to start off back reacting! Jon did exactly what Sansa told him not to. Don't do what Ramsey wants; falling for the emotional reaction. His delay in killing him got Jon within archer range giving Jon no choice but to flee back and maybe get shot, or go forward and be shot. Jon, being so incensed at the killing of his little brother, again did what Ramsey wanted as it was for sure they could get him or his horse if he charged. If he had delayed 1 more day the outcome would have saved many lives; however, Sansa was not fully truthful about the help she had written for, likely because she was not certain Peter would come. Unreal battle and best ever on a television program imo.

[@cameronjosephvideos5942]

As much as Ramsay doesn't care about his men, I also wouldn't call him a bitch for basic strategic decisions. Ramsay knew he couldn't beat Jon in a fight, and he knew once his army was defeated that the smart move was to retreat to a stronger position. The only choice he could've made differently was to stay within Winterfell from the beginning, but of course the Giant kind of ruins their advantage.

[@thejoeschmoshow]

When they were surrounded I have always felt the giant could have been doing more.. He played his part and he was the last living giant but I always felt he could have gotten them out of there.

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

You do have to wonder why the Boltons kept the Winterfell banners, though.

[@sandimcalisterblood2675]

This episode and the next are pure gold in my opinion ❤️

[@julianwilcox399]

Sansa also knew that the knights of the Vale were a couple of hours away. She kept banging on about needing more men and never once told John that another army was coming. It was her fault so many free folk died

[@changingmind2522]

Jon also got more men killed for bailing on the plan he told the free folk.

[@wrenneinzbern]

What a big moment for you two. Getting to finally drop another Game Of Thrones reaction. Great episode but a lot of things fans were frustrated with like Jon being so dumb probably why they killed off The Blackfish he was the war strategist, Sansa not telling Jon about the Knights Of The Vale, Wun Wun could've easily broken the encirclement strategy. If Jon was smart he would've just sent Ghost to grab Rickon that's what I would've done.

[@dtmt502]

if Ramsay knew about the Knights of the Vale he would stay inside a fortified Winterfell when he's sees Jon's Army is small he would come outside Winterfell to fight

[@Fett411]

How is Ghost gonna run into the middle of the battlefield and save Rickon? Makes no sense With the Knights of the Vale, they were encamped close by as Baelish was expecting Sansa to ask for help. Sansa had sent a raven but by the time the battle started didn’t know they were coming and couldn’t tell Jon. She had the chance to tell Jon she asked Baelish for the help and maybe more men were coming but she didn’t But as someone else pointed out, if the Knights of the Vale were there to even up the numbers from the start Ramsey could simply stay inside Winterfell and force them to siege taking years. He met them on the battlefield knowing his army was much bigger

[@wrenneinzbern]

@Fett411 The wolf thing is just for fun. In the books they are far more important like Jon is supposed to be able to warg into Ghost. It makes little sense for Ramsey not to know about this huge army entering the North in the first place but for arguments sake Sansa never told Jon about the Knights so there wasn't even any talk at all about stalling or going in first with half the army draw Ramsey out then the Knights swoop in. I mean I know the show wanted the suspense of it looking like Jon was going to lose but it just makes Jon and Sansa look dumb and who wants to root for dumb protagonists.

[@Fett411]

@@wrenneinzbern my theory at the time, and having seen whole show hasn’t changed…..the Lord of Light willed the entire battle to happen the way it did because that’s how it had to be for the looming battle V the dead Everything that happened in the lead up to Jon taking back Winterfell, including the knights of the Vale, most deaths etc had to happen exactly as it did or the entire thing fails and each of those things was the will of the Lord of Light

[@Ritzifatzo]

I suspect that everything Melisandre did, believing it would help Stannis (maybe except for the shadow demon), actually helped Jon.

[@gking920]

My favorite episode of the show hands down

[@АлександрВишняков-т6ф]

Jon was almost killed by a scug from Flea Bottom, so Ramsey would have a pretty good chance)

[@frogpaste]

As to wondering how everyone would know each other....there was a war historian who said that, in old times, battles like this were fought by basically marching up to each other and the fighting only really happened on the front lines. As men went down, the men behind would step forward and keep fighting. It sounds ridiculous today, but at least you knew which ones were your enemies. 😁 Hollywood has basically butchered sword battles for the sake of the action, but I'm not mad at it, this episode was _epic_ !!

[@jmshanta2011]

I don't think Jon had enough time to retreat even if he wanted to....the archers already locked target on him and he had to charge just to dodge the arrows ... did not have enough time to turn the horse around.

[@paulspillman9413]

Shows that Suzy knows more about Pokémon than Ste 😂. A Water type would do very poorly against a Dragon (unless packing an Ice move), while the Fairy type Jigglypuff is a Dragons worst nightmare. At least to a not fully evolved one.

[@garethlawton5278]

Congratulations on your marriage guys! Well done! Also, to be that annoying pedant, that isn't Littlefinger's sigil, that was the sigil of House Arryn. If it can be attributed to anyone at the moment, it would be the spoilt moon door kid as he is now head of house Arryn.

[@lrichardson5057]

“Now Sansa just needs to kill Little finger and she will be ok” Love this comment❤️❤️

[@ChazBrown22]

One of the most epic moments in television history.

[@Raminagrobisfr]

"You can't kill me, i'm part of you know" I thought this meant sensa was pregnant from him... Or that at least he believed that. This potential storyline was not picked up thought.

[@kelvinalexis9516]

Congratulations on the wedding! Glad to have ya back! So happy

[@ashscott6068]

What I always found weird about this episode is how the bolton banner they cut down from the wall, landed on a pile of other banners. So....they were like: "Cut all these banners down and pile them under that one, but cut that one down last"?

[@scoobysnacks]

That's a pile of shields with the flayed man sigil on them, not banners.

[@nltoriola89]

Congratulations on your wedding! I love how Daenerys pointed to the ground and Drogon landed exactly where she wanted him to. Bella Ramsey aka Ellie is Lyanna Mormont in GOT.

[@CCARL11]

Congrats and wishing a lifetime full of happiness together to both of you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@chandlermorgan708]

10/10 One of the most thrilling battle scenes of the show Without giving much away, I can say with absolute certainty that the battle scene of this episode is by far the most cinematographically breathtaking visual representation of a battle. All the shots are great, it becomes evident to everyone how much time and energy was invested in the making of this episode. Apart from this, there are other things happening in this one-hour long episode, which are also terribly needed for future development of the show. What may HBO have for us in the season finale? Guess we'll have to see, but in the meantime we can rest assured that every time Miguel Sapochnik directs an episode we are going to be shocked and amazed at the same time. This guy really knows his stuff!

It was for her.)

[@lalamagnoliagyrl]

Congratulations ☺️☺️☺️🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🎉🎊🎈🍾 @30:26 unsure of the logistics? Well Ramsay wasn’t. And it’s our mistake for assuming he was aiming for Rickon. I haven’t read the books but considering Ramsay’s character, how he likes and will use anything to play with his prey: people, I’d be more than willing to bet that he KNOWS what he is doing. No matter the activity. And case in point…Rickon🥺😣

[@Rougeification]

Suzy and Steejo talking about how the writers kept trying to keep them in suspense, but it's so obvious what's going to happen... And then end up surprised and shocked anyway. That's this show in a nutshell.

It's okay to think the flayed man banner is cool. Now that Ramsey no longer needs it, if in the many years of marital bliss that are coming your way, and your man ever steps out of line, feel free to make it your own.

[@blackkatt777]

I think what Sansa did leading up to this was bs. All she did was bitch about its not enough. Jon asked her on several occasions for suggestions and she just said nothing about the Vale. She tells Brienne she can trust Jon and yet lied to him. Had she told him they had the Vale, Jon and the others could have come up with a secret flank to get Ramsey's forced from behind. He told her he was done with fighting and death and she kept pushing. Yet, she didn't think sparing a lot of the lives of their bannerman with a bigger army was worth anything to them or their families? She was emotionless when talking about Rickon as if he didn't matter when she just dismissively brought up that he's dead like whatever, when she was laying that guilt trip on Jon when pushing for him to fight. "They have our brother...and our home." She tells Jon that if he won't help then she'll do it herself. If she only had the Vale then she would have been waiting a long time before anyone else came to help. She went to these other houses acting entitled and cocky like she's Cersei jr. They all put her in her place and she had nothing left to stand on. Every fighter, including Ser Davos came for him because they knew he proved himself a goodman. If it weren't for the fighters and the quick thinking speech of Ser Davos, of which she arrogantly dismissed, as if he's not been alive long to see and know things about men and warfare that she doesn't....she wouldn't have had a victory to smirk about. People are under the disillusionment that had Jon not charged forward trying to save his brother's life, that somehow the battle wouldn't have still happened. They call him being stupid, but everyone there was at risk of being a casualty because they knew the battle had to happen. There was no way Ramsey was going to surrender because he was too arrogant to back down. He gave her the honor and respect to let her kill Ramsey even though he literally went through almost dying, again, for the sake of getting her what she wanted.

[@philipturner9087]

In this case Sansa knows best Plays her hand close and what a hand cards she plays

[@castiel9601]

Ramsey is worse than Joffrey 10000% Jeffrey was a sadistic child but others had the upper hand. Ramsey is a twisted deranged yet SMART villain, he's way worse

[@gunkulator1]
