FIRST TIME WATCHING Game of Thrones! S5E2 The House of Black & White Reaction!

[@campagnollo]

Admit it to the others Steph. You hear Lyana Mormont’s voice as Jon was reading her letter.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Definitely 💯

[@prico3358]

11:05 Fun fact: the guys taking Arya to bravos were nice to her and making sure she remembers their name, because The faceless men do not take mission to kill people they knew in their past lives. Its a way to have 1 less assasin thats allowed to kill you.

[@nielgregory108]

Oooh, that Targarian silver hair is coming in nicely. Beware the blood of the dragon!

[@andromidius]

With Pycelle pretending to be older then he is, it reminds me of that deleted scene that 100% should have been kept - with Tywin fishing and Pycelle doddering around until Tywin tells him to drop the act, and Pycelle stands up straight and talks boldly and clearly for a few moments before reverting to his normal self. It was such a good scene.

[@MugShotzReacts]

We’ll have to do a deleted scene reaction video!

[@dunringill1747]

@@MugShotzReacts Yes, please on deleted scene reactions. I agree that the Tywin fishing scene where he calls out Pycelle should have remained in that episode. It adds to just how sharp and on top of things Tywin really was on everything -- with the exception of his love and understanding for his own children. That was his biggest weakness and his poetically real demise.

[@JaymzShikari]

I suspect that scene was cut because it was a little overdone, GoT has never really done obvious like that and it sticks out a bit. Pycelle instead remains as an INT skill check to the fanbase What is sad about it being cut is that Tywin was gutting a fish right before the Tullys got screwed over, was a cool foreshadowing that's happened a couple of times

[@dunringill1747]

@@JaymzShikari Part of me feels like there might be some hidden time and / or cost restraints that caused the deletion of that scene. I feel the importance of the Tully foreshadowing alone is reason enough to keep it in, but not the only reason. I don't see anything over-the-top blatant or even a redundancy is giving another example of Lord Tywin's perceptive strengths. I think it adds to the character dynamic between Tywin & Pycelle. Plus it adds story depth as well. Tywin did once serve as Hand of the King before. He therefore was given ample time to observe Pycelle over those years. He would have the insight. Pycelle would recognize the full measure of this insight. Especially once it was called out to him in private. It would be unwise to insult the intelligence of Tywin, especially when you are asking him to [A] restore your position plus (without blunt dialogue) [B] maintain your secret of faking the old & feeble act. Both favors buys Tywin more of Pycelle's loyal servitude.

[@jeffbachman2949]

@@dunringill1747 it makes sense to cut it. We already knew Tywin was fairly clever and reminding the audience Pycell is faking it again is just repetitive

[@iamdiesel5661]

Cersei already admitted to killing Robert, to Jamie, after admitting to her incestuous activities to Tywin

[@GeorgeEugeneBarrett]

“Killed” him with strong wine, not poison. She made sure the wine was extra potent and knew he would over-indulge.

[@Pokyhawk]

I know that I can always watch these videos and, no matter how dark I know the episode might be, I can count on the comic relief from Lindsay. I also appreciate that someone finally shared my concern about Arya sailing under the colossus of Bravos. That's an awfully big guy to go commando straddling the entrance to the port 😳. Thank you all for another enjoyable look at my favorite show through other perspectives.

[@u.e.9948]

Regarding Jon being emo, I think we should remember that the woman he loved died recently.

[@1HalfbloodPrince]

To be fair, he's always been broody lol

[@Rash23215]

Yes as if he was non-emo for 4 seasons before that.....

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

Some S/O to Ashley. She’s a kindred of mine. You can tell she’s so excited to move forward, wheels turning… “let’s stop talking and WATCH!!” ❤️🤣

[@debbiehenson7091]

So glad the noodle is back!! And the eyebrows too! And the hair is coming back in.

[@crappiefisher1331]

the "cookies" you showed in the beginning exist here in germany as well and we call them "Amerikaner" (americans). they exist only in white with sugar icing, in "black" covered in chocolate or in half-half like on your picture.. appearently they found their way into the US due to bavarian immigrants in the early 1900s

[@MugShotzReacts]

So cool!!

[@GeorgeEugeneBarrett]

Lancel didn’t say “poison.” He simply said “wine.” It was extra strong wine. Did Cersei hope he would drink too much and die? Yes.

[@MFBloosh]

Yeah. Always see people jump to poison, but in reality all Lancel probably did was get Robert drunk to the point where he was way to inebriated to be on a hunt lol. There might've been something in the wine, but it's never confirmed.

[@kidgforce1]

she knew he would drink too much and this would increase the chance for a hunting accident

[@ssj002]

The execution scene reminded me in contrast of what Ned said in the very first episode: "the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." That doesn't necessarily mean Dany was in the wrong here, but they are definitely highlighting the different leadership philosophies of Ice -the Starks, and Fire - the Targaryens. And it won't be the last time :).

[@Victoria-kv9oz]

I know you guys keep saying that Jon is “emo” but I don’t know, I kinda like it. It fits the way he was brought up, always on the outside looking in. And, to be honest, isn’t he a lot like Ned? You can tell Jon idolized him growing up cuz he seems to be the only one who is exactly like him. Mannerisms and all.

[@Muthomi.T.I.M]

Scenes in Braavos particularly around the House of Black and White were filmed in Sibenik, a gorgeous and historical city on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Oh I’d love to go back to Croatia it’s so beautiful!!

[@dragonhawkeclouse2264]

So, this is for Lindsay: Concerning Lancel and Cersie's interaction, keep in mind, she still needs to put up an act. And now add to that, the fact that Lancel is part of the group of the high sparrow. Now, there were people in the background, when Lancel said sorry, she might have been keeping up a view just incase anyone heard him. Also, knowing that he had become religious, she might have considered, "if i admit this to him, then i might get drawn into a religious issue with the high sparrow". So, her "appearance of confusion" should be considered with all other factors at hand

[@prico3358]

Jon never wants anything. But he did want to ve commander once Sam proposed it. He also had that aspiration while beign lord commender mormont's maid.

Stef, I for one applaud the new channel name even if youtube might not like it. Also not sure the last time I saw something that was simultaneously appropriate and inappropriate. Bravo to Lindsay, I need to consult her next time I'm naming a rec sport team. Keep that noodling going, regardless of right or wrong, some really interesting stuff is gonna come out soon I think, can't wait!

[@525569andrea]

Baristan telling Daenerys about her father was to dissuade her from executing the guy, not for it, just fyi.

[@MugShotzReacts]

Yup!!

[@hwansobedi668]

Drogon will return when Jorah his father returns to his mother. Until then, Drogon will be wandering in exile like his father. Perhaps you should ask your crew why they think Drogon has left Dany.

[@janpetterflaien2936]

Watching this from my hotelroom in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Where I today did the Game of Thrones guided tour. Location for King's Landing and also Qarth. Amazing place. Good reactions as always. 🫡

Respect for the husband of the girl who reads spoilery comments. The girl is too preety.

[@oldmanlethal8714]

Valar Morghulis! I love how Cersei tried to make Kevan Lannister the "Master of war" but during the war with Robb Stark we see a couple times that Tywin thought Kevan was a complete idiot in matters of war.

[@briansharvill1794]

The Law is the Law. which is different from The Law is the law applied with compassion and understanding. The law has room for justice which in this case might have been weighing the mentality of years of slavery, and the desire to please resulting in this killing of the Harpy's son and subsequent execution causing further erosion of the fragile peace. Relying just on "the law is the law" is the very same rigid nature that Sir Barristan was warning against. there is "the law" and then there is the law applied with justice.

[@joenobody5631]

It's good to see Linsanity bouncing back. 🤘🏻🍜🤘🏻

[@prico3358]

Uncle kevan lannister hates cercei for what she did with lancel. It didnt really translate on screen, but cerceis relationship with Lancel was Predetory. Lancel really had no choice, she used her power and position. Uncle kevin resents that.

[@allocat586]

It isn't like the guy Dany killed didn't have a trial, he admitted to killing the person. You don't have a trial if they admit guilt...

[@andystewart581]

Thank you for losing the glasses. Now I can stop dressing up to watch. Don't know the show or meme you're referencing at about 6:30, but there is a similar scene in the movie "Beautiful Minds" starring Russel Crowe, about the mathematician John Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics. Here's the scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXKpdamFapeWrqs

[@ezmarelazela5008]

Imo what Daenerys did was worse than what Jeffrey did with ned...... Bare with me here..... Both made a "unexcusable offense" The consequence the same.. off with his head. The difference... We love Dany... Hate Jeffrey... We love ned.... The other guy is a nobody... From our perspective. The point being the man in this scene ment something to SOMEONE but the writing in this is just so damn good. It steers you where it wants you to be be. The crowd tho....Ned's crowd cheered for him to lose his head. The crowd in this episode pleaded for mercy. It leaves you so conflicted. Betraying your feelings of the past from seemingly so long ago. Or maybe it's just as bad no matter how you cut it... See what I did there 😆

[@argantyr5154]

Question is, are the people free or did they just got a new master instead of the old. There is a big difference in winning the War and keeping the peace. Also in the real world, just think Afghanistan, Irak etc.

[@TheManOnTheStreetOMG]

and the turning point is upon us 😬

[@nastee10]

I'm glad you seem to be having a nuanced discussion about Danni's actions and decisions. I have seen so many reactors who really start to dislike her at this point. And that always makes me angry. They criticize her for being arrogant to think that she could end slavery in a culture where slavery is ingrained for such a long time. But, there has never been a time in the history of mankind that slavery has not been abolished without bloodshed and political strife. At the end of the day, she is doing the right thing. There will always be consequences.

Ha, nice to see Lindsay not swooning over Bronn like most of the fandom. A bit of an unpopular opinion but I've always found the character overrated both in book and show. ^^ Also, seing that scene of Jon pledging himself to the Wall reminded me of when she was convinced he would eventually leave the Watch. Quite wrong on that one. :D

[@MugShotzReacts]

Not really her type 😂

[@fernandof.2225]

When somebody says things that are fully wrong (Lindsay) shouldn't somebody (Stefani) say something like "nope"...? She is using that wrong information and trying to make sense episode after episode.

[@s1lm4r1l6]

Lindsay's theory about Varys and Littlefinger working together isn't too far off the mark. Both want to cause chaos and a power-vacuum, they just differ on who will end-up on the throne afterwards.

[@rookis25]

@@havok6280 he was noble in title not character

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Dany was in a no-win situation there... with the action she took, she lost the support of the majority of the people, who had been slaves that were freed by her conquest. If she pardoned him, it would send the message that those in her inner circle were above the law. I think Hizdar actually had the best idea... that the execution should have been held in private rather than being the public spectacle that it became. News would have eventually trickled out, and there would be some dissent because of it, but not the mass uprising that occurred.

[@havok6280]

Secret executions do not inspire faith. That's why modern Western countries have public trials and many countries have public executions.

[@kidgforce1]

Where was the fair trial for the guy who killed the Harpy?

[@havok6280]

So if I'm arrested and plead guilty, do they still have a trial? No, they go straight to sentencing.

[@kidgforce1]

@@havok6280 Of course. A lawyer could find mitigating circumstances, like Danerys already said, she wanted an execution, but with a fair trial before. So he understood it would be a death sentence anyway. She could argue that he took away the chance of executing him herself (Who speaks the sentence should also swing the sword), but he spared her from showing her wrath and brutality to the people, so she can still look like a good queen. I would just sentence him to serve in her army, cause he showed he likes killing.

[@Apvizionz]

This is the point I lose interest in the show. And now my watch has ended. Good luck.

[@Rigomortis84]

Ummm, the world has treated Jon like shit his whole life, lest we forget! He's had the hardest upbringing of all the Starks and has become dear friends with tragedy and contempt. He's entitled to be the way he is, and in spite of it all, he fights!

[@havok6280]

He had the hardest upbringing of a highborn noble. Yeah things suck, but any small folk would gladly take his place. Perspective is important. It's the same reason I had little sympathy for Theon (prior to Ramsey). Yes, he was taken from Pike, but the Starks were kind to him.
