Tyrion's trial is one of the best scenes in the series! Peter Dinklage is an absolutely amazing actor and he nails that part.

This episode answers the questions you guys had as to why Ramsay would pretend to rescue Theon earlier, just to bring him back. He conditioned him to distrust rescue attempts from the very beginning.

Fun fact: This was the first ever episode of the show that did NOT feature at least one appearance by any members of the Stark family. The drama with the Lannisters took up so much time that there was nowhere they could insert even a short scene with a Stark. Also, Peter Dinklage was nominated for a Primetime Emmy based on his performance in this episode.

[@redviper6805]

That violin music when Shae arrives was played during Sansa’s and Tyrion’s Wedding night. It’s beautiful; what does it mean? Notice that every time Oberyn is seated, his body language shows that he is disinterested. But after Tyrion’s epic speech, his nonverbals show the opposite! Like a 180 degree turn in his behavior! Peter Dinklage should have won an Emmy!

[@fallendaemon]

You guys missed that Ramsey multiple times sent people to "save" Theon that ended with Theon being hunted down and tortured over and over and over again. This episode simply shows the result of constant torture and mental games.

[@Hollygli]

To be fair, I had missed that too. This show is so chock full & subtle with some things. But yes, I think it was just today, after multiple rewatches, that I realized he didn't trust it was real bc of how many times Ramsay pulled this on him.

[@discobroccoli198]

Wait really? I watched this show like 20 times and I never knew that until now.

[@greywolf7577]

I think Ramsey only did that once.

[@AllMenMustServe]

@@greywolf7577 Well he was also fooled when Ramsay sent those 2 girls to turn Theon on right before he cut off his co*k. And if you were paying attention, on the first few seasons, Theon was always portrayed as someone who loves being with girls, they always emphasized that part about him. This was setup so well. This show was truly remarkable when it had book's material. When they didn't, the level of the show decreased, specially when George RR Martin left by the end of season 5 because they wanted to cut the show short and Martin disagreed with that. Shame, it had some good eps the in later seasons, but you could tell the writing was nowhere near the level of the 1st 4 seasons.

[@Jazz-Singher]

Oberyn Martell not standing at the small council was so great, because of how cocky and proud he is standing against the Lannisters, but also because he doesn’t have to stand. He is the only person at that table born of true royalty.

[@jeffthampuran6054]

Another fact is that a lot of the evidence against Tyrion was actually done by him, and during the trial (in the books) he cursed himself for being witty in his answers. He poisons Cersei with some kind of laxative to put her out of power for a little bit, he's a bit more...rougher...with Joffrey, kicking him a bunch while he was on the ground (though he deserved it). Just goes to show how important perception is. Everyone hated Tyrion, even if he didn't deserve it, and we sympathize with him, because we know his thoughts, but no one else does. And from that perspective, he seems pretty shitty.

[@rahilrameez8635]

[@garethrogue]

easily one of the best scenes in TV history. Peter Dinklage is one of the best actors of our lifetimes.

[@chancefurlong372]

That was really Tywin's main motivation in going along with the show trial. He didn't kill Joffrey, but in Joffrey's death he saw an opportunity to get Jaime out of King's Landing and have him start a family, aka the conversation they had at the start of the season. He calculated Jaime will fold under pressure to save his brother. It was all going along so smoothly until Tyrion threw a wrench in his plan and now it's going to be an absolute insane whirlwind of a ride.

[@terrylandess6072]

Pudgey on Davos: "Talk to the hand" - it would be a short conversation. (I had to be specific with Tyrion running around) When Dany finds she has crucified 'innocent' people, it shows how her inexperience and lack of working knowledge of a culture can cause more harm than good with her 'knee-jerk' style of rule.

[@danshotguns4226]

Shae proved her nature... All along she was only out for herself just because Tyrian brought her up to the red keep and gave her all the things she always wanted she was happy but as soon as he tried to send her away to protect her she threw a hissy fit and turned on him.

[@jamesmswenko8292]

We actually don't know if Shae turned on him, what we know is that they got to her, just like Varys and everyone on stand she played her part, remember the scene where they caught their meeting, that suggests she was forced; I mean she already knows Tywin was going to kill her (as promised by Tyrion, for being his whore) and Cersei was going to torture her for the same reason, Shae made the only smart move.

[@AllTheArtsy]

Shae is a foreigner, a sex worker, under threat from Cersei and Tywin. You can hate Shae for what she does, but at least understand her circumstances and her very limited options.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Shae didn’t come here only so she could have fancy pretty things and money. She wanted Tyrion. You forget she even asked Tyrion to leave King’s Landing with her. But it was Tyrion who insisted they stay, who got all weepy fearing she would leave and she didn’t because she loved him.

[@Gaius__]

Of course what Shae did was horrible. But we need to realise that she was really badly hurt, Tyrion probably was the only person she ever truly loved, in her life. Being sent away just made her lose it. The old adage of "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" didn't come out of nowhere.

[@loakley98]

I don't think the Tyrells were trying to throw Sansa under the bus with that plot. remember the Lannisters essentially went behind the Tyrells and stole her from them when they tried to marry her to Loras.

That trial scene is my favorite Tyrion scene. Tywin for a few brief moments had everything he ever wanted, his preferred son (Jamie) as his official heir, his hated son (Tyrion) being sent off to the Night's Watch to never bother him again. Tyrion knew that Tywin now had everything he ever wanted and with Shae's betrayal he decided to take it all away from Tywin, proving that he was truly his father's son. Peter Dinklage truly earned his Emmy in that scene.

No spoilers ~ From wikipedia ~ About Peter Dinklage and Tyrion Lannister "Between 2011 and 2019, Dinklage portrayed Tyrion Lannister in HBO's fantasy drama Game of Thrones, an adaptation of author George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Game of Thrones takes place on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos and chronicles the power struggles among noble families as they fight for control of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion is a member of House Lannister, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in Westeros, and uses his status as a Lannister to mitigate the impact of the marginalization and derision he has received all of his life. In May 2009, he was the first actor to be cast, as showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss noted that Dinklage, whom they described as funny, smart and witty, was their first choice for the role, as the actor's "core of humanity, covered by a shell of sardonic dry wit, is pretty well in keeping with the character." Unfamiliar with the source material, Dinklage was cautious in his first meeting with the producers; as a dwarf, "he wouldn't play elves or leprechauns" and was choosy about genre roles. Benioff and Weiss told Dinklage that the character was "a different kind of fantasy little person," or in the actor's words, "No beard, no pointy shoes, a romantic, real human being." Dinklage signed on to play Tyrion before the meeting was half over, in part because, he said, "They told me how popular he was." Martin said of Dinklage's casting, "If he hadn't accepted the part, oh, boy, I don't know what we would have done." The series proved to be a commercial success; it was renewed for multiple seasons and concluded with its eighth season in May 2019. Dinklage received widespread critical praise for his performance. Matthew Gilbert from The Boston Globe said that Dinklage "gives a winning performance that is charming, morally ambiguous, and self-aware." Dan Kois of The New York Times noted that Dinklage's performance has made the character "all the more popular." The Los Angeles Times wrote "In many ways, Game of Thrones belongs to Dinklage." HuffPost called Tyrion the "most quotable" character and "one of the most beloved characters" of the series. For his performance, he has gone on to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2019, as well as the 2012 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. As a result of his performance and increased screen time, Dinklage was given top billing starting in the series' second season. In 2014, he said on The Late Show with David Letterman that he had once tried to read the books the show is based upon, but had found them confusing. He joked, "George Martin, our author, is probably going to kill my character soon because I mentioned that." In 2014, Dinklage and four of his Game of Thrones co-stars became some of the highest paid actors on television, although sources differ on the actors' per-episode salaries. In 2015, Dinklage lent his voice for the role of Tyrion in Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series, a video game based on the show."

just for refreshment: hizdahr and his father were laughing at Dany's freedom speech at the top of the pyramid in episode 3. just because he didn't have a part to play on the death of those children, that does not make him innocent. he was still consuming slavery (selling and buying human beings) and pretty comfortable with that position.

You guys are so fun to watch - keep it up!! One thing that’s interesting to me about Varys’s testimony - everything he’s saying, Tywin had already known.. he was there at the council meeting that Varys was referencing. From what I’d guess, Varys already knows Tywin will have the trial go however he wants it to. So, while he is testifying against Tyrion, he isn’t adding any facts that would hurt Tyrion any more than he already is. I still don’t know if he could have handled it any better, but definitely something that is worth pointing out.

Varys glancing at the throne after his talk with Oberyn is to signal that he's chasing power, not specifically the throne. Varys knows where power comes from in Westeros, the throne is the physical embodiment of that power.

Wargs (Bran Stark) are people with the ability to enter the minds of animals and perceive the world through their senses and even control their actions. Greenseer (Jojen Reed & Bran Stark) is the title given to people who possess the magical ability to perceive future, past or distant events in dreams known as Green Dreams.

The things going on with Varys in the show, with the weird foreshadowing for alternate motives, like pursuing power, rather than what he preaches as the well-being of the realm are so underdeveloped. He supported the Mad-King, and it was said that when he arrived in King's Landing, Aerys became more and more paranoid. Makes me wonder why the showrunners dropped fAegon as a plot point, if these things were set up.

[@morisakarleign3014]

FAegon and Varys intertwine in their arcs. They indeed shouldn't have cut the FAegon part but since the books weren't done yet, it was wise to not include it

[@jeffthampuran6054]

@@morisakarleign3014 But the thing is, they hint at something ulterior, but never pursue it. Like imagine Jaime was hinted at being a good person, but at the end, he just ends up saying he 'never cared for people, innocent or otherwise'. What would be the point?

Me: *sees S&P get excited about Yara going to rescue Theon* Me, remembering Ramsay himself saying it to Theon: "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

[@MrCzerillo]

Shae wasn't threatened. She was scorned by Tyrion and now she is getting him back. And you guys were pretty happy to see Tyrion sinking his own ship.

[@watchjoy121]

That speech at the end.. What a cool character this is. He deserves much more. These games of politics always make people sneaky and evil. People like Tyrion, Varys, sir Barristan should serve at the court of a worthy king. He, like Varys, tries to be a good person for the people and the Realm, so there is a kind of friendship and solidarity between them. And it was ironic to hear him say that he would give his life to have poison for them all.

[@johnalden5821]

At 7:30 in the intro, Spartan brings up a good point -- and it's really a huge theme in the entire series. At what point does justice become just raw power or even revenge? How do you rule wisely when your enemies are ruthless and amoral? Do the ends justify the means in terms of what you have to do to stay in power and serve people? All the major characters deal with these questions, with a spray of different results.

[@itss_nattyj]

As I was just admiring Pudgey’s hair (so shiny and beautifully curled!), Spartan talks about his unruly hair. 😂 Spartan you are effortlessly handsome, Sir…your hair looks fine. Lol

[@BoredOnlineBoardOffline]

Bran has The Sight AND is a Warg. Jojen just has The Sight. They don’t spend a lot of time clarifying those two things so it’s easy to get them mixed up.

[@ObviouslyItsHumain]

Tyrions speech is one my favourite scenes of the ENTIRE show.

[@marcelomacias6]

Can I just say…you two are seriously the best reaction duo online. I can’t get enough of your takes on the show and wish I was there to talk you through some of your stumbles(Locke, blood on Ramsey, who will stand for Tyrion), but man…what a great watch! I literally love watching you guys watch after seeing this series so many times. Wish I could meet and talk to you in person one of these days! Much love!!

[@SpartanandPudgey]

wow! that's really great to hear, we're really happy that you've enjoying our reactions. thank you for the kind words!! plenty more of our theories and discussions to come 🙏🏼❤️ we appreciate you!

[@equinsuocha5397]

Honestly the best part of the Love/Like/Hate list is how you two make up rules as you go and quibble about it 🤣

[@AzukaLockheart]

Ramsay is so much more dangerous than Joffrey cause he's not scared of showing who he truly is or to do the job himself. The job he did with Theon.. poor "Reek", he was "trained" well. He's so scared he cant even trust his own eyes seeing his own sister before him thinking its another test 😔 And I already loved Tyrion.. but this trial made him one of my favorites in the series by far!!

[@israymervalentin-arias6313]

I think his name is Petle Dinkle and I think he won an award for best acting performance for that last scene. Hes great frosted flakes.

[@gregsmith4225]

I love how Tywin is playing 5D chess and everybody doesnt know what chess is then Tyrion goes F*** You Dad!!! Gongrats on finally getting to watch the greatest scene in Television history.

[@Julini89]

so a small detail I wanna mention. So when Tyrion demands a trial by means that he has to fight his accuser (Cersei) unless they pick a willing champion so it is Cersei not Tywin that gets to pick who Tyrion or his champion has to fight.

[@XicD]

Jojen is a greenseer, which means he can see into the future. Wargs can go into the bodies of animals

[@Ruimas28]

This episode is awesome but it also shows some of the problems with changing stuff from the books. . The Greyjoy sister could never attempt to rescue her brother in the books. Just logistically not possible. She would have liked it if it was possible but she was tied up elsewhere and she would have to sail all around the entire continent lol The series writers jus forgot geography to toy a bit with the viewers. But they still wanted Theon to stay where he is because there is more story coming over there. . SHAE! Shae has been debated to hell and back because the series did change her quite a bit. Book Shae was always pretty obviously a random whore. The book story was more about Tyrion wanting so much to find love that he let himself be fooled with Shae. Together with taking amazing risks for someone who was just a whore. I think the show did not want to make Tyrion look a bit more grey as he is in the books. But Shae was kind of the collateral damage. Maybe the book arc was more predictable too. Because you could see from the start that Shae would be easy to turn against Tyrion. However, series Shae just comes across a bit inconsistent. From wanting to fight to protect Sansa (which she did not in the books) to easily being turned and incriminating both Tyrion and Sansa.......the series kind of forgets that angle big time but Shae would have been incriminating Sansa too.

The honorable mention was too funny😂😂

I just found you guys last week and have been binging to finish your House of the Dragon and get caught up on Game of Thrones. I've never seen any better reactors than you two. You are awesome and Pudgey is glorious. Spartan is easy on the eyes. 💗

[@Henrydota2]

its really funny watching spartan make fun of and get sick of pudgey every episode XD

[@psychedelicpegasus7587]

How did Pycelle get the necklace? Wasn't it on the boat with Littlefinger and Sansa? I LOVED how Tyrion stood up to his father. He knew Tywin was orchestrating things for his own ends, and refused to go along with it anymore. Amazing performance.

[@uinen9029]

Baelish had thrown it overboard into the little boat. The boat has been driven onto the shore. It was no coincidence- i think

[@jaybird8192]

Littlefinger purposely threw it into the row boat with Dantos's body so it could be found! Thus clearing him, and putting the blame on Tyrion and Sansa for the murder!

[@ArgusStrav]

It *was* on the ship with Littlefinger and Sansa. The only conclusion is that the one Pycelle is showing is a forgery.

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

32:54 Tywin said the same thing a season ago as well. When he confronted Joffrey in the throne room. It isn‘t just Cersei thinking that.

I find this episode so fascinating. The frustration for the viewer comes from knowing that every word said in the trial was truth, but not said in the way it’s being presented. Wish we could see so clearly when the news tells us stuff that was really said.

[@Dani-vu7em]

I love how spartan can poke fun at himself and I love how smart pudgey is ❤

[@ARD-lk5pr]

Good reaction to a classic episode. One point worth bearing in mind...Varys didn't tell Tywin anything about Tyrion that he didn't already know. Both Tywin and Cersei were present when Tyrion threatened Joffrey in that council meeting so there was no point in Varys denying that it happened. It may seem as though Varys betrayed Tyrion but he didn't really. If he was going to betray Tyrion then he could have offered info that Tywin wasn't aware of already.

[@SnoopDong117]

Idk why it took me so long to comment, but you two are the funniest, most positive, and attentive reactors. Love all the facial expressions, witty puns, edits, etc. Wanted to rewatch GoT to get those same feelings I got from my first watch, honestly a lot of the scenes are better with you guys! Keep up the hard work while still enjoying the process, take breaks when needed :)

[@jarsky]

Ramsey was covered in blood because he'd been killing other Ironborn that were clearing patrols while Yara and her top men were at the kennels

[@piratsnygg]

27:10 The blood on Ramsey was his own. He and Myranda was having a little knife play right when the ironborn arrived.
