I think Roz got the necklace from Joffrey as payment after he beat her and her friend in the last episode.

​@@Nga_BabayeRos was given the necklace by Tyrion when he was in Winterfell. Ros shows it to Theon and has a dialogue with him about how he pays well in a later episode.

Tyrion gave the lion necklace to Ros when he was in Winterfell in either S1E1 or S1E4 offscreen. The necklace makes an appearance in S1E5 when Theon is with Ros. Nobody planned anything, Cersei just made assumptions that Ros is Tyrion's gfriend because she has the necklace. Edit: Good catch Spartan!!

After thinking about it I don't remember if there's an actual scene that shows Tyrion giving it to her, (it seems like there is but I'd have to rewatch to check). Nonetheless, he did give it to her at Winterfell and Ros and Theon have a conversation about it while she's wearing it.

[@kylesilva8609]

Not sure if this was touched on, but a few episodes ago while Bran was sitting in the main hall of Winterfell, a man approached him explaining he was short handed on managing his farm so Bran sent two orphan boys to help if he sheltered them. Those were the boys Theon burned and they were at that farm on his suggestion 😢

[@blackblue4043]

Great reaction guys! So Catelyn also released Jamie because the Karstark men and the other Northern soldiers were planning to kill him after Karstark's son was killed. Brienne also mentions that "nobody wants to die protecting a Lannister" so the guards would not have intervened against Karstark. What she did was definitely silly but they would most likely lose their leverage either way.

[@NovaLena22]

True. A lot of people seem to miss this point even though it was clearly stated in the last episode. Perhaps it's because so many in the Fandom seem to hate Catelyn regardless of what she does. But her letting Jamie go was much more sensible than not. If Jamie had been killed while he was Robb's prisoner, Tywin would have had Sansa brutally executed and would have unleashed hell on the North.

[@keimakatsuragi3040]

Yeah, releasing him was her only option. She couldn't order Brienne to keep him safe until Robb's return or - as Pudgey suggested - take him to his camp. Poor Catelyn, condemned by everybody for no real reason.

[@karinacillo]

The lion necklace thing is a small detail of the season 1. Tyrion gave it to Ross when he visited Winterfell and been with her. Also there’s a scene where Theon was kind of jealous of it at the time… such a little thing there with huge impact on this season

[@brettervonkanada6102]

Alfie Allen deserved at least one major award for his performance in this season! I love Peter Dinklage but he shouldn't have got ALL the Emmys and Globes. As a book reader, this was the only time when an actor made me even more invested in a character from the show than the books. He was born to play this twisted and confused person who doesn't even know how to figure out who he is.

[@Conorp77]

Funny fact, Alfie Allen is Lilly Allen's brother. Her song 'Alfie' is about him.

[@loco_logic]

That was actually a damn good theory Spartan had about Littlefinger planting the lion necklace on Ros. It's not true of course, but it was a very creative idea and totally would fit with Littlefinger's pre-established motivations.

[@peppermint1349]

I wanted to say that can we all appreciate how Emilia Clarke (Daenerys' actor) suffered from multiple brain aneurysms and yet was able to deliver such amazing acting on season 1 and I dont remember if anything was also going on on season 2 but regardless.. going through all of that having to be hospitalized.. This woman is amazing.

They were under the belief that episodes 9's always meant something bad would happen, and our mod team has since corrected that assumption to explain that they tend to be just content loaded episodes and the type of events in them are not of a certain nature.

The thing Stannis doesn't understand is that Robert gave him Dragonstone because, historically, when the Targaryens were in power, the heir would be the prince of Dragonstone. As Robert had no children at the time, it was meant to signify Stannis was the heir and he gave their home castle to the younger brother.

[@mjbull5156]

Dragonstone was the harder assignment, though, as Dragonstone's population would have been the Targaryen's smallfolk and banners as it was under Targaryen rule for centuries before Aegon's Conquest of Westeros. Even if Dragonstone was technique prestigious, Stannis is resentful because he always got the dirty work Robert needed done.

My best guess about Roz and the necklace is that Tyron may have given one to her when he was with her just before leaving Winterfell (remember his little verbal joust with Theon about Roz), and Cersei saw it and assumed that she was the one he brought with him. Roz wasn't "playing along", she thought she had been captured because of her prior relationship with Tyrion, however Tyrion did play along because it would serve as a diversion to keep Shay off Cersei's radar.

[@suddenimpulse030]

Yes, but I think the surrounding context is why he is upset about it.

[@dustinaltenhurst7958]

Cat's action was much more reasonable than it initially comes off as. It was the actions of a desperate mother after all. But for me her choice was simple, and it came down to the mood of the Stark bannermen, which had reached boiling points by then. If Jaime was left in their hands for another night, they would've killed him. If Jaime died, there was no chance of seeing her daughter (daughters plural in her mind) ever again. A desperate Hail Mary is still better than no chance at all.

You guys are so insightful. And you've given this so much more thought than I did when I was initially watching. Bravo!

[@falco8494]

I hope you guys are proud of yourselves, you made me watch GoT once again ;D Im already ahead of you and boy oh boy, can't wait tilll you see some stuff [menacingly rubbing hands] Great reaction!

41:00 What mistake did Cat make in S1? Kidnapping Tyrion? How does Catelyn know that Tyrion is innocent when someone she trusts, someone she grew up with and known almost all her life, told her that the dagger that was used in the attempted killing of her son was last in the possession of Tyrion? Remember that you are watching the show from many and opposing view points. The way the audience sees Tyrion is not the way other characters see him. The Starks are completely warranted in mistrusting all the Lannisters, including Tyrion. And being a _"good guy"_ on the _"terrible people"_ 's team, still makes you a bad person if you are committed to serving that team, which Tyrion absolutely is. You say it was a mistake to take Tyrion hostage. Imagine if Catelyn had not done that. Sure, Jaime would have not attacked Ned in the yard, but everything else would have played out exactly the same, and much faster. Ned would have still gotten his head chopped off. The mistake that Catelyn made in S1 was losing Tyrion. As long as she had him as A hostage, The Starks had leverage, which means Ned has more time to live because there is room for negotiation.

[@suddenimpulse030]

Ned specifically told her not to do anything hasty and to contact him first. What she did is a major reason he ended up dead and her family hostage. Even George Martin has said this in multiple interviews. The last bit of your sentence is something George disagrees with. Look up the keywords on the Thus Spake Martin search engine.

[@Mic-Mak]

@@suddenimpulse030 Kidnapping Tyrion was a mistake, yes. I'm not arguing that it didn't make things worse. However, I fail to see how it is the fatal error that you and S&P are suggesting when you look at it in hindsight. What sealed Ned's fate is revealing to the Queen that he knows her secret, and Catelyn losing Tyrion, leaving the Starks with no leverage to bargain. Do you really believe that had Catelyn not taken Tyrion hostage, Ned would be alive at the end of S1? Even with Jaime as hostage, Joffrey chose to kill off Ned.

[@vergil8833]

In defence of Catetlyn Stark, the other northerners would have probably killed Jamie before Rob coul get there and stop them. So either Jamie dies and they get nothing for him or they try to send him as a bargaining chip.

[@suddenimpulse030]

Its incredible how few understand this when the show points it out multiple times. If jaime's death reached the lannisters Sansa and Arya (since the Starks think the lannisters have her) would have faced serious repercussions up to and possibly death.

[@slothbro6415]

Pudgey keep up Spartan knows everything this episode!! Hahahaha

[@stephenburke4639]

People always seem to miss that the reason the cat released Jamie is because Rob‘s Bannerman we’re going to kill him. So either way they were going to lose him, she might as well have lost him in an effort to save her daughters.

[@sam_c95]

Recall that when Baelish met Catelyn he brought some terms to her from Tyrion - to trade Jaime for her daughters "both girls" he claimed. He said he fears for their longevity in the capital, and brought Ned's bones as a gesture of goodwill. Catelyn said Robb would never accept but Baelish said he's not bringing the terms to Robb, but to Cat instead (all of which Tyrion expected and planned out). Releasing Jaime was Catelyn accepting Tyrion's deal. She's still been played for a fool - Tyrion called it his "next deception", but it's not just on Jaime's word that Cat made the decision, but on Baelish's and Tyrion's word too, over Ned's bones.

And also Brienne's loyalty to see it through.

[@desertrose0027]

Regarding the "farmer's boys", one of the main themes of this series is how it's always the smallfolk who suffer the most when the nobles play the Game of Thrones.

[@Stuman57]

I love how you guys think so differently. One is more in the moment and sees how the present is effecting the story. And the other sees the whole show and how the past is effecting the present and what implications it may have. I’ll let you guys figure which is whom. Brilliant!!! And how you celebrate it and are so self aware. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@roboct6]

The joy, I think, is in witnessing you guys react to a story we all know and love. The only laughing I do is in recognition of having the same reactions. It’s all good fun. The only slight drag is not being able to sit around a table with a beer or a coffee while discussing the whole thing.

[@johnalden5821]

I hereby declare this Spartan's episode. He was right about Bran and Rickon and right about Brienne escorting Jamie to Kings Landing. Credit where credit is due!

[@klasyk1532]

SPARTAN!! Props on nailing that Jaimie Brienne situation!! 🎯💯💪

[@tombarnes4980]

Nice to see some Stannis appreciation. I'm watching another couple to react to the show, and they don't seem to like him much and perceive that he has bad intentions. As pudgy said, he is a man of duty.

[@nataliag.5428]

Can you tell what couple?

[@darth856]

It also makes me think of the reactor Major Reacts, who said he didn't like Stannis but he did respect him.

[@fitzyfitzgerald846]

Man I always love watching people’s journey through GoT. It’s always so much fun to listen to the thoughts and predictions knowing full what the viewers have in store. You two are still,, sweet summer children… and its adorable =)

[@girlgal180]

When Spartan said Sam’s teeth were mangled😂😂 I was hoping one of y’all would comment on that lmao.

[@achillis9753]

Many people seem to miss that if Catelyn Stark wouldn't have freed Jaime, the lords of the North would have lynched him in this very night.

[@ruisilva2617]

Love you guys accent, much love from Portugal

[@mhine0309]

Cersei Lannister is the best antagonist in this show. Another great video guys 💛

[@jadejewel6586]

Good for you Spartan for knowing where Jaime is being taken by Brienne and where!!

[@lw3106]

To be fair, I think Jaime would be killed that night for what he did, there was no control over the situation. So they would lose him anyway. (This happened in the show, in the book it was slightly different).

[@CarloRodriguez10]

17:00 he needs an applause 👏🏻 😂 give the poor guy some credits

[@deannacauley166]

17:06 way to go Spartan you were right

[@Nimbus1701]

I really love this channel and I admire how quickly you both have kinda jump all in and bought into the entire stories (well the portions of the stories being passed through the ravens in this season of the show). It is starting to get "bigger" from my point of view, and this was the season where the "story" of who is the legitimate heir(s) spread out to the kingdoms and it is getting down to brass tax about who is.supporting who.in the wars to come. You are definitely right to pump the brakes on episodes leading up to episode 9s, so good on ya for that. Also had some great points and observations throughout the comments in the episode; out of fear of accidentally spoiling stuff, I am consciously choosing not to respond a few comments because I want you all to experience this show in the best way possible as I (we) experienced these seasons as they were released in real time. Doing my best to respect that with minimal spoilers. Great stuff Spartan & Pudgey.... you guys would be fan-fkn-tastic to have as a full blown Texas grill and Bar-B-Que..... so.... when in Rome (Texas) you always have about 50lbs. of cooked beef, steaks, chicken, hams, ribs, pork butter, and BBQ brisket to take on your journeys. Love you created this channel and i want you to know that I am trying my best to minimize and moderate comments and spoilers to the show as my 15 - 17 year old Nephew and Niece have every recently also expressed interest to jump on the "bandwagon" that is House Of The Dragon because it's crazy wild popularity...... and these very near FKN..... ADULT people (~1.7 years) before they are both 18 somehow need a moderator to "intercept" spoilers amd "inappropriate content".....HAHAHAHA.... Imagine my surprise. I've got.habe of a mind to misedit everything and let them.feel the full force of the trauma as we all dealt with it. Not sure yet..... guess we'll see. My advice...... maybe they shouldn't have hopped their happy asses on the bandwagon of the month club so fast...... it has consequences......¡ 😈 We'll see how I choose to play it with them. They are only trying to gain "cool points" anyway, so I may just say...... "fuck 'em"
