FIRST TIME WATCHING Game of Thrones! S4E1 Two Swords | Reaction and Review

[@apulrang]

I love how The Hound can start out in a situation being sensible, cautious, and protective of Arya, but always has a good instinct for knowing when it's too late and time to go all in. Once Arya starts going after the guys at the inn, and can't be deterred, The Hound switches to winning the situation no matter what. He's like, "No, don't go in there! ... Er, okay then, here we go!"

[@VolguusZildrohar]

"I'm gonna have to eat every chicken in this room!" Oh here we go!

[@havok6280]

It's worth noting that Cersei and Jamie have no POV chapters in the first novel. We mostly see them from Ned's perspective. Once we see more of their perspectives in the later books, we gain a different appreciation for them. So it makes sense that they would grow on you as we move forward.

[@andromidius]

Yeah, every chapter is full of bias and opinion. Jaime isn't the monster he's perceived to be - just a jaded man haunted by the past who's armoured himself in his reputation. Cersei is (at first at least) seen as elegant and charismatic - but when we see into her mind we realise she's bitter and spiteful to the core, constantly in a near state of panic that her power will be taken from her.

[@Polo-wk7zl]

⁠​⁠@@andromidius”Jaime isn’t the monster he’s perceived to be.” People don’t perceive him as a monster in universe, except perhaps maybe Catelyn. He’s seen as dishonorable and traitorous, not monstrous. That being said, who do you think would push a 10 year old boy out of window, if not a monster? He was also perfectly willing to kill Arya. Jaime wasn’t always a monster, and he doesn’t remain a monster, but there’s certainly a period in there where he was.

[@MFBloosh]

That's one of the main things I love about George's writing. You never know if something is true or not, or if it's just biases shining through since we follow these characters in specific POVs.

[@joenobody5631]

​@@Polo-wk7zlThe things we do for love...

[@DrFeelgood1127]

It says a lot about you when someone who kills a kid without remorse, and has women “graped” for punishment, can be redeemed because you thought they were cool or funny…

[@RP-zj8ro]

Maybe my favorite single line in the entire show, "You gonna die for some chickens? ...... Someone is."

[@MugShotzReacts]

[@jonasfermefors]

I sense a change in Ashley.. she used to watch with a look of horror and now there is a smile that goes with each horrific moment. It's something of a Red Wedding Stockholm Syndrome.. she has realized how far it will go and decided to embrace it. Greetings from Stockholm 😁

[@Maleficas88]

Love how Ashley and Lindsay get giddy when Oberyn metions Rhaegar and Lyanna!

[@Polo-wk7zl]

That wolfskin was the scabbard for Ned’s Valyrian steel greatsword, Ice, which is melted down and formed into Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail. If it were a direwolf pelt, it would be much larger and not shaped like that.

[@briansharvill1794]

Hey Lindsey, love the energy. I know you're dealing with a lot and sometimes it's just a bit much. Having Bone Cancer myself I can relate. Wish you every success in your fight and again LOVING the energy.

[@fina4907]

I love how the music changes from House Stark theme to the Rains of Castamere in the opening scene of the episode.

[@AndyFNQ84]

Clegane just gave a masterclass in how to pick a fight

[@havok6280]

In the books, Daario is lithe and smooth skinned with bright, deep blue eyes which can appear almost purple. His curly hair reaches his collar, and he keeps his beard cut in three prongs. Daario dyes his hair and trident beard, sometimes in blue and other times in deep purple. His fingernails are also enameled blue. Daario's mustachios are painted gold, and he has a large, curving nose. A golden tooth gleams in his mouth.

[@MugShotzReacts]

It’s a wild look 🤪

[@cyrilmeynier5688]

Brienne : I swear it to you, I'll avenge Renly. Margeary : Who ?

[@balerion77]

I roll my eyes whenever she says that. 🙄 Even when she says "Rightful king..." Or something while killing stannis.

[@Polo-wk7zl]

@@balerion77Renly was the rightful king tho lol.

[@MFBloosh]

@@Polo-wk7zl No he wasn't. Stannis was next in line after Robert. Renly would've been next in line after Stannis.

[@Polo-wk7zl]

@@MFBloosh I’m aware. When Aegon the conqueror did his conquering and was crowned king, he promised that the king would henceforth be the defender of the faith. Stannis burning idols of the seven and worshipping a foreign cult isn’t doing that. He is not honoring the feudal contract. He was not annotated by the high septon. Irl historical backing supports him not being king. Also, Renly is just straight up the best option in any case.

[@pickboaa]

The introduction to Oberyn is so good

[@Chess8548]

This is one of my top three episodes. It never gets old.

[@joenobody5631]

"Bring me one of those chickens."

[@brendag6148]

Yeah it's one of mine too!! And season 4 is my favorite season, I'm so excited for their next videos!! 🤗

[@joeyken81]

Daario was Tyroshi (who are known for their dyes and colorful hair/clothing). Daario had a three-pronged beard that was often colored purple but sometimes blue or green.

[@joenobody5631]

"She hasn't been paying attention, guys." Nicely done. You're good at this. 😂

[@eZTarg8mk2]

The hound and Arya storyline is one of my favourite threads of this whole series, she becomes so badass and he just becomes so nuanced and likeable despite being a sort of bad guy

[@brendag6148]

I love this channel!! You guys are doing an amazing job! The notebooks are an amazing idea, I love how invested you are :). And on a sidenote I also have ADHD so I'm totally vibing with the chaotic, bouncy, invested, out of the box thinking mindset you all have 😁. Thank you for doing this!!❤

Easily my favorite season opener, easily my favorite scene of The Hound's..just an awesome episode from open to close and when they cue that Stark theme at the end, I tear up every time because of the great writing.. XO

[@derrisreaditbefore]

You're all wonderful. Stefani, great new drink. Ashley, you remembered Myrcella being sent to Dorne! Impressive. Lindsay, I think you're my spirit sister - I 'get' your humor completely, and you get me cackling every time. I know you're waaaaay ahead of this, so I hope you're all doing well, and that Lyndsay's treatment was/is successful.

[@mattirby9747]

[@donkelly4718]

So when you mentioned the name and color of the drink, I honestly was lost for a moment.....but, how to say this without spoilers,...when I saw the scene between the people with the things, it reminded me of the other thing, which made it understood..... Clever.

[@thecompendium9607]

Stephanie, I appreciate you! I had 100% forgotten what the poison was called, nice reference. And the drink is purple enough.

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

That chicken scene never gets old 😅 also i seem to have hit a nerve with some commentators who came after me for preffering old Daario. They can stay mad, the new Daario sucks, the old one was hotter with ten times more charisma and personality .

[@campagnollo]

Winner, winner chicken dinner. Congrats Stef on getting hitched. But did you have to get married now???? Might as well be playing “Rains of Castamere”. As for Ashley and Lindsay, I guess you haven’t seen Pedro Pascal in other shows. You are about to get an awesome introduction.

Cercei is a character It's impossible not to love to hate her, she's evil, but she's strong, everyone doesn't care about her, her character is to be admired and Lena Heady is incredible playing it and that's because the best of Cercei is yet to come. The Arya and the dog scene is one of my favorites, so What happens is that season four is not wasted. I can't wait to see the next chapter

[@alphasixty1316]

book spoiler, never referenced in the show... Catelyn Catelyn, walks the realm. I'm not sure if she is dead or not.

[@andromidius]

(Possible book spoilers, though mostly in the realms of fan theories) Lindsay picking up on the lemon symbolism is interesting - though its not relevant to the show, but it is a hint at the fact in the books there is so much symbolism, analogy and foreshadowing everywhere (especially with food!). The show didn't follow a 'minor' subplot of Daenerys where she remembers the only time she felt at home - in front of the house with the lemon tree. The misdirection being she keeps thinking of that place as being in Braavos - yet no trees at all grow there, let alone lemon trees (and even the climate is too harsh there for a rich person's garden). And where is the only place we ever hear of having native lemon trees? Ah yes. Dorne.

[@andromidius]

Gosh, and then she makes the connect between Cersei's drinking and the late King Robert too! Again, book spoilers abound. Cersei essentially starts becoming Robert over the course of the books - drinking heavily, making tasteless boorish comments, thinking of herself as a warrior... and mistreating women to the point of extreme discomfort. She takes all his worst traits and none of his good ones. She even starts putting weight on rapidly, though she's never seen eating - just drinking, constantly.

[@andromidius]

Also to Stef/Steph (sorry, not sure which spelling you use, brain is addled) - book Daario's hair is blue and his moustache is painted gold. He's ridiculous in the most fabulous way. ... And I'm still not convinced he's actually someone else.

[@celeryconnoisseur777]
