Game of Thrones 1x05 'The Wolf and the Lion' | First Time Reaction

[@jordonvh91]

The dialogue in the early seasons of this show is just top notch. That Cersei and Robert scene is top notch, there's some comedy, great expostion and worldbuilding and that banger of a line "someone took her away from me and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left".

[@HonRevPTB]

Yeah that's an ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT line, and I personally know EXACTLY how he feels!!!!!!!

[@allbies]

Great writing and acting. It's those scenes that made Game of Thrones so special, the character moments especially in the earlier seasons.

[@wavehellhole]

Dialogue t straight from the books tends to be god tier. Just wait until they start having to come up with it themselves. 😂😂😂

Cat Stark totally f*cks everything up here, immediately putting her husband and her daughters in danger.

[@LauraStarchild7]

I think that "the seed is strong" is referring to two things: first, the fact that The King is very fertile and has fathered so many children with other women and, second, the fact that all of his children seem to have the same blue eyes are dark hair.

[@Finians_Mancave]

There's no mention of blue eyes (only "black of hair"), but otherwise I agree with you.

[@jamesparker7016]

Agreed, and I like to think “the seed is strong” is also a nod to Mendel and his contributions to genetics…using peas, which are seeds

Something missed a lot is that Ned never gave a command to take Tyrion. That was Cat going rogue but when asked, he covered for her actions. Actions have consequences. 'Nuff said.

[@seanirvin7966]

Yup. And for right or wrong, the way Ned looks at it, the honorable thing to do is to stick by your spouse. Always. She's got his back and he's got hers. But since he's the man, the best way he can defend her is to not only make it appear that he agrees with what she's done, but that he's the one that gave the order.

[@Serryy]

The Arryns kept the only dungeon in the realm where the prisoners were welcome to escape at will. That first day, after girding up his courage for hours, Tyrion had lain flat on his stomach and squirmed to the edge, to poke out his head and look down. Sky was six hundred feet below, with nothing between but empty air. If he craned his neck out as far as it could go, he could see other cells to his right and left and above him. He was a bee in a stone honeycomb, and someone had torn off his wings. It was cold in the cell, the wind screamed night and day, and worst of all, the floor sloped. Ever so slightly, yet it was enough. He was afraid to close his eyes, afraid that he might roll over in his sleep and wake in sudden terror as he went sliding off the edge. Small wonder the sky cells drove men mad.

[@maxducoudray]

Is that Maple taking notes in the thumbnail? What a pro!

[@dmthandmade5674]

Now you've met Bronn, you should look into Jerome Flynn who plays him. He was huge in the UK in the 90s. First in a show called 'Soldier Soldier, which (in case you couldn;t guess) was about the lives of a group of British soldiers in the contemporary Army. It was a sort of drama with some soapy elements. Then he and his Co-star formed a duo and had a pop career as 'Robson and Jerome' and had 3 number one hits. There's some really...special...content to be had there.

[@FredtheFrisian]

The confusion is very recognizable! We don't have all the information yet. That the Lannisters were behind the murder of John Arryn was just a statement by Catelyns sister, Lysa and she seems to be not very trustworthy, because she accused Tyrion of murdering him.

[@Alexic94]

[@wombat5334]

Maple is confused, but she has the point - the lords of the realm are all distracted with their own plans... they are not plotting anything really, just reacting without their own plans... (its soap opera with swords and zombies) "The Seed is Strong" - means that all thebloodline look similar (same facial features, eyes, hair etc)...

[@hessu275]

Nice to see how invested you girls are already

[@nickrubin7312]

It is great to hear all the theories at the end and trying to make sense of it, especially with how the show panders to specific theories with almost planting certain biases in viewers heads, deliberately telling viewers "hey, look here, focus on this thing, nothing to see over there where you want to look". Expecting to piece it together within s1, or even in a couple of episodes, is kind of sweet summer child train of thought, for sure. Looking forward to the rest of s1 reactions.

[@1HalfbloodPrince]

Absolutely love the scene with Cersi and Robert, favourite scene

[@cosmocoatl]

'The seed is strong' its about Robin Arryn. He's such a strong little boy!!

[@kurtwagner350]

Ariana almost putting it together is pretty impressive, although she might subconsciously remember certain details from the book she read.

[@0okamino]

Legitimization isn’t done on any common basis, but it is a thing. Bastards can be declared legitimate by royal decree, which would bring them legally recognized status, and entitlement to any claim that would normally come with being trueborn. Without that, however, it would take some extremely extraordinary circumstances for them to be anywhere above the bottom of the heap (last in line, if even considered in line at all), as far as claims (such as to the throne) go.

[@crss29]

What you are missing has already been shown. But you need to be REALLY observant to notice. It includes two characters that we hear about but never see.

[@LudusAurea]

Unless you're referring to Aerys or Brandon Stark idk, not sure what the context of the comment is.

[@crss29]

@@LudusAurea My comment is vague so as to not spoil the fun of them trying to understand what's happening while still giving them a nudge in the right direction. If it doesn't make sense to you, don't worry. It's not meant for you. They are missing the original experience of coming in to work the Monday after an episode released and everyone is buzzing with anticipation and theories for what's happening. They can't talk about it with almost anyone without risking spoilers. I'm offering insight that hopefully doesn't feel spoilery to them and is provided slowly so they can choose to continue reading or not based on their preference.

[@carriesmith742]

I can't wait to see you guys taking notes vigorously in the Histories and Lore for season 1. Hopefully you film them, but if not, you should at least watch them to better understand the backstory more, especially since it's a fantasy show.

[@beaux2585]

The knife used on Bran wasn't important since they expected the assassin to escape. So it's a moot point if he had been successful.

[@derikk3215]

I mean I get the advantage of taking notes. But the one on the right is looking down fiddling with the board for over half of the reaction.

[@cajum24]

You guys should pause the episode to talk and write rather than just trying to do everything while it is playing. There are long silences and we wanna hear your thoughts

[@august7535]

I hope Arianna sees this comment because she needs to let Maple know who hired the assassin to kill Bran because unfortunately, they never make that clear in the show. But it makes a lot more sense why Tyrion becomes implicated once you understand who was behind it. I won't say who as to not spoil anything, but this was one of the few mysteries that was never fully revealed in the adaptation which makes it confusing for first time watchers.

[@Whiskey0880]

Did you ever stop to consider that taking notes is distracting you from absorbing what's happening? And that's what's leaving you confused lol

this is one of my favorite episodes of the show. Season one is just beautiful in every way. One of the greatest seasons in the show in the accomplish this with the lowest budget. Meanwhile, season eight had the highest budget… but when the damage is so deep and the rot so insidious, no amount of expensive makeup or confetti can cover up the stench of writers giving up completely

[@Serryy]

You know, turning Loras and Renly into stereotypical effeminate gay men really hurt their characterization and I dont understand why their sexuality had to be their defining trait in the adaptation when it is not even directly spelled out in the books.

I understand the human need to be right and not to forget things but just watch the show. You're putting too much focus on not wanting people correcting you in the comments or pointing out stuff you've missed that you're not actually immersing yourself in the show. You're basically taking the show as a class at this point.
