FIRST TIME WATCHING! | Game of Thrones: S3E3 Walk of Punishment | Reaction and Review

[@slomo9831]

Pod the rod 😂.

[@s1lm4r1l6]

The Small Council scene is brilliantly done. Tywin sits at the head of the table, the centre of power and authority. Baelish hastens to sit next to him, as close as possible to the real power in Kings Landing. Varys is content to disappear in the middle of the crowd. Pycelle is left at the end. Cersei arrives last, and moves her seat to her father's right hand, the position of the principal advisor. She moves behind all the other characters, but in full view of all of them, like her schemes and plots. Tyrion sits at the foot of the table, the lowest of the low in direct opposition to his father. So characterful and meaningful.

[@renlyspeach7622]

I always read the comments to make sure I'm not being redundant. You beat me here, and well done to you. I will add that Tyrion pointedly seating himself opposite his father could be interpreted in another way. There is the concept of "coming to the table" meaning negotiations for peace. While that isn't the literal circumstance, this is the first meeting of the Small Council in its current composition, with Tywin physically present as Hand. This is the first time they are (literally and figuratively) sitting down to work together. So, the symbolism could be said to apply. And here it is. The reasons that negotiations were held at tables were to even the playing field. The table served as a physical barrier to prevent enemies from attacking one another, removing martial advantage. Sitting across from one's enemy allows them to look each other in the eye, an important part of honest communication. And it removed the king from the raised dias their throne, where one sits to pronounce law, to a place of equal ground, where things can change, and power is no longer absolute. Sitting himself across from his father may have actually been a power play, of sorts. A statement that he isn't just a lackey like the rest of them, that he isn't accepting the lowest position. I won't assert that this is the correct interpretation, but it's interesting for me to think about.

[@s1lm4r1l6]

@@renlyspeach7622 That's what I meant to an extent. Tyrion is the only person there with the guts to sit directly opposite Tywin, openly declaring his hostility and preparedness to meet his father's gaze.

[@Taesbil]

This is such a great analysis! Really made me see that scene in a new light.

[@Triskaan]

Yeah, I'll always mouth the " 'Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly. And Rhaegar died." line too. ^^

[@MFBloosh]

Barristan telling Dany that Rhaegar was "the finest man I ever met" really had me questioning my sanity at the time lol. God this show is so good with set ups.

[@cyrilmeynier5688]

"You don't fight with honor!" "no. Rhaegar did".

[@tiredidealist]

One of my most hated change from books to show is in that first scene. Edmure misses the shot in the books because he's so wracked with grief over his father's death, not because he's just useless. They don't do his character justice at all in the show, which is a shame because he would've been a favorite for many people if they had.

[@Rash23215]

Lol.... book readers whine about anything and everything..... nothing new..... everything was "one of the most hated" according to them....

[@IshtarNike]

​@@Rash23215 Not really. Sounds like you could read a book or two though. Maybe don't start with ASOIAF as it has lots of big words and long sentences. Harry Potter would be more your speed I reckon. 😊

[@Rash23215]

@@IshtarNike lol..... typical loser response..... "if u don't like my favorite thing, u don't understand it"..... btw already read almost every single major book of the asoiaf universe, including fire&blood and akotsk ..... try this on some1 else..... we book reader are not superior or special. Period.

Lindsay's a Peaky Blinder now ♥

[@MFBloosh]

"By ordah ov da Paeky fookin' Bloindas, m8." - Lindsay, probably.

[@baron7755]

I think they missed Missandre's side-eye when Danny said "but we are not men". I love that part

[@MugShotzReacts]

I think so too, hopefully they’ll catch it on rewatches!

[@lethaldose2000]

In my estimation. Kraster is a widely misunderstood charter. A champion of women everywhere, loving father, protector of his family and Kraster's keep. ------- He keeps the white walker army strong and supplied with fresh members. What more can you ask from a beliver of the faith? Valar Morgoules "All men must die" ------- Then I bumped my head on a tree and realized Kraster is the worst shit above and below the wall George R.R. Martin could have conjured.

[@Pokyhawk]

I always get such a chuckle out of Lindsay. She is such a character and, I believe, a whole lot more clever than she gives herself credit for. She picks up on subtleties much better than I did on my first time through. As a thank you, here's a bit of trivia for you all. In case no one else has mentioned it, the actor playing Locke (the leader of the men who captured Jaime and Brienne) is Noah Taylor. He has been is many movies but you may be familiar with him as Mr. Bucket in 2005s "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with Johnny Depp. The man has incredible range in his acting talent.

[@JDP5127]

I love the scene with the small council and the seats at the table. Definitely funny, but also shows us a bit about the characters.

[@andromidius]

Dark wings, dark words could also be referring to the Night's Watch (as they are called 'Crows' by the Wildlings').

[@MugShotzReacts]

Oh good one!!

RIP Ser Jaimes’ hand

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Ashley, at time Its tough being a man. Our arrows can't miss at a funeral. ----- I love how you started giggling with the miss of the arrows. Then laugh out loud with the next miss. ------- Thank god the black fish took over and completed the funeral events. --------- Its always good to give you a laugh at the start of a GOT episode.

[@captainofdunedain3993]

Opening bow and arrow scene was amazing!

[@Ottawajames]

I always forget that the kid that plays Tommen Lannister later on plays Martyn Lannister in this episode

[@MugShotzReacts]

it's so strange to see in rewatches!

[@carriesmith742]

Now I have a new reason to look forward to the weekends! Having your GoT reactions waiting for me when I get up on the Saturdays for the last few months has been a breath of fresh air.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Thank for watching with us!

[@boqndimitrov8693]

the episode in which Podrick became an absolute idol for the male part of the fans! 😅

[@yomamma.ismydaddy216]

I love the blackfish!! Some badass older person vibes that haven’t really been felt since Ned and Robert

[@thecockerel86]

The Brave Companions. The Bloody Mummers. The Goat. Zollo. IYKYK

[@rookis25]

Nobody says it in the show, "Dark wings Dark words" is a northern saying used in the books numerous times with Ned, Bran, Tormund, and others.

[@lethaldose2000]

The goosebump club loves Kraster so much they can't contain it. ------ In his house women in labor better bite down on a rag or bite down on his fits. Keep your yelping down. ------- Then he wants to make a tasty meal of Sam and carve out fat pieces as the need arises. ------ Oh Kraster, garners such an inspiration.

"Pace yourself, lad!" 😂😂😂

[@MFBloosh]

Idk if you guys have heard this, but Hot Pie's actor opened up a bakery called "You Know Nothing, Jon Dough" as an homage to his GoT character. Pretty sure a lot of the baked goods were GoT themed, too.

[@BractosCrash]

That didn't happen, it was a tv ad/promotional piece for charity

[@derrisreaditbefore]

Great reaction as always ladies - I love that as a clear reveal is about to happen, Ashley and Lindsay both lean into it 😆 Lindsay, you seem in fine fettle, and I hope things are going well.

[@mathmexican4234]

An Austin Powers reference and a Scary movie reference lol.

[@JB-bv1rg]

You must hand it to Jamie, willing to lend a hand to Brienne. Jamie single-handedly gets them to unhand Brienne. Does that make Jamie a second-hand swordsman? Will this somehow prevent Jamie from ever being a hand of the king? At least he can give a first-hand account of the incident. Apparently Roose Bolton has given Locke a free hand in how to handle prisoners. I thought the underhanded Locke was going to use a hands-off approach.

[@MugShotzReacts]

You can see yourself out 😂😂😂

[@macolsen4447]

Lindsay looks like a newsie 😂

[@stonecoldpillow]

***FOR STEF, SPOILERS BELOW*** I love watching Ashley and Lindsay's reactions and theories, but I would also like to hear a little more about what you think and what you initially thought when you first watched the show. Obviously for bigger moments like a certain one with Hodor and R+L=J(which I'm sure I don't need to tell you that you guys should react to that R+L=J video when the time comes), but I would even like to hear you talk about what you thought of certain characters back then and theories you might have had about the story or something. I understand if you'd prefer not to play with fire and accidentally spoil something, I just thought I would throw that out there. Looking forward to more reactions! P.S. Your laughter in the Pod scenes and smirks throughout this episode were hilarious, I would've been exactly the same way lol

[@MugShotzReacts]

As we get further into the show I think I'll be able to discuss a bit more!

[@dunringill1747]

A hand is worth 3 1/2 mugs. If GoT wants more mugs, it will cost them an arm and a leg.

Jaime not the most likeable character, he is pretty smug but good lord chopping his hand off is ghoulish and brutal, I haven't seen the 2nd season as much as later seasons but there are some really good moments and great character building.

Pod the rod lol good one the origins of Jaime showing a conscience missande and pod the sex god😊

[@ashscott6068]

The accuracy people get with longbows in this show, is pretty absurd, and totally impossible. The bow itself is in the way, so it kicks the arrow off to the side. And how much it does so, is totally inconsistent and depends on the stiffness of that individual arrow...which varies with temperature and humidity and a million other variables.

[@munchichi02]

Stefani, are you sure you’re not related to Blake from The Raggedy Pack? You are more subtle but you both make awesome faces.

@@MugShotzReacts awh. It really adds to the wtf moment that is that scene

[@SelvesteSand]

​@@MugShotzReactsOh, that's why you do it. That's awful. Can you not prevent it, somehow? Either disable autoplay, or manually stop it each time? Certainly at least one of those must be possible. The music and sound design in the credits is sometimes a big part of the experience of an episode, particularly some of the "big" episodes where it's differently than usual. Like, say, Hardhome really hits a lot harder if you let the credits roll with sound, and especially if you always do that-- the crashing waves and faint eerie music stand in such a stark contrast to the music you're used to, if you're used to the music... 😊

[@boki1693]

The oldest Lannister kid that Rob has in prison is recast later in a much bigger role.

[@youness4247]

I think the woman on the middle doesn't particulary like the one on the right 😂

[@tealsummers2316]

One thing I can't stand about the actor for Little finger is that he constantly uses his whispering voice rather than his normal voice. Now, perhaps this was purposely done since he is somewhat of a whisperer (spy/gossip/411) but it's just a pet peeve of mine. I can't stand it when any actor/actress uses their whispering voice almost the entire time they are playing a character. I wish the director would have been like "HEY! stop whispering!!" LOL. Other than that he did a good job playing his role. Haven't watched ya'll in a while, got some catching up to do.

[@cyrilmeynier5688]

The funeral ritual they do for cat's father is a real world one. The vikings did the flaming boat-coffin stuff.

[@SelvesteSand]

Vikings buried their dead. They did sometimes involve boats, using an upside-down boat as the inner structure for a burial mound, or decorating the outside of a mound with stones forming the shape of a boat. The thing with burning a body on a pyre on a boat *on water,* though often seen in movies, is a Hollywood invention. It wouldn't actually be very practical, as it would just lead to a partially burnt body washing ashore with next morning's tide.
