Game Of Thrones 7x4 Reaction!! "The Spoils of War"

[@Arcannabis]

My FAVORITE episode this season, I remember my stomach aching with anxiety and fear over the sounds of the Dothraki and then the shot of the dragon in that flanking profile shot, the impending doom that went a crossed Jamie’s face. It was amazing and something I will never forget how I felt

[@Usernumber777]

And hearing Robbert Baratheon raging in your mind: “a dortrhaki army in open field!!???!!!!”

[@Arcannabis]

@@Usernumber777man to wait that many seasons to see that image come to reality, also mvp scene was the aria vs brienne spar. I ALWAYS love Sansa’s surprise at what her sister can do

[@matthewtopping2061]

11:06 Holy shit! That's Joseph Quinn on the right!!

[@michellehawk282]

"Only a fool would meet the Dothraki in an open field" - Robert Baratheon. Even without a Dragon, the Dothraki alone would've given Cercei's army a hell of a fight. They ride better than any westerosi knight, their bows are bigger than those used in the seven kingdoms and above all, they're fearless. They fight because it's in their blood. Dothraki are a warrior folk after all. Robert knew that. He would've never even played with the idea of facing them the way Jamie did.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

Everytime this episode come up on You Tube, someone say that in the comments. Never fails.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

Also, aren’t the Dothraki arguably bigger men than most westerosi men? So I’d imagine they’d also be physically stronger

[@mamaseesa3122]

They did such an amazing job with this episode. You feel so torn. You want to root for Jamie and Bronn, but you also want to root for Dany and Drogon. It's horrifying knowing you can't truly pick a side and somebody will lose!

[@levilevi9621]

Daemon wields dark sister in HOTD.

[@GJS2183]

Dark Sister was wielded by Visenya (Aegon's older sister-wife) and later by Daemon Targaryen. Aegon's sword was Blackfyre and that dagger was called Catspaw.

[@Relmz]

The Catspaw is the assassin that tries to kill Brandon, not the dagger.

[@m4ckt4yl0r]

Yes... ​@@Relmz a catspaw is someone hired to do unlawful deeds. That's why it's called the Catspaw's Dagger.

[@lyricmezzosoprano5357]

@@m4ckt4yl0rright. It’s called The Catspaw’s Dagger, not Catspaw like GJS2183 said

[@keanancupido]

That scene where Daenerys looks at Jaime just before Drogon protects his mother will always be special to me

[@lolalilolily]

"I'm sure Arya's good with faces' 😂😂😂

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

28:08 That was all done with practical effects. Holds the record for most stunt doubles ever set on fire (intentionally)

[@JordanBeery-y7l]

The "dragonpit" on dragonstone is called the Dragonmont. Dragonstone is on a volcano, giving heat to any eggs laid there. Im gonna be sad when yall finish these, its my favorite sunday activity now that hotd is done!

[@KelliFranklin]

Oh yeah, a banger episode. Igli's going to love this! Bobby B's worst fear realized.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

IN AN OPEN FIELD

[@levilevi9621]

GOATed episode

[@itzkhanivore]

this is one of the best episodes in the series for me

[@matthewdipenta592]

Soooo happy I found y’all, convinced me to rewatch it too. Love the dialogue and convos you guys have especially with igli being in the dark, it’s been become one of my favorite reaction series of all time

[@Blinkptx]

I've seen this a million times and still get chills when Drogon appears.

[@SeriesNerd]

I am always waiting for your next GoT reaction - you never disappoint. Always love your little fights and Iglis intros. You three are the best combi RaggedyPack.

[@Jamiiemac]

No the main and original dragon pit is on dragonstone. It’s built upon a volcano, so always made more sense why the dragons stayed there. They like the heat. That’s why whenever a dragons rider died, they mostly (some exceptions) returned to the Dragon pit on dragonstone. Kings landing dragon pit was only used when the rider lived in Kings landing

[@bill.godwin-austen]

The one on Dragonstone was a natural cavern in the mountain. They built an entryway/access point to it with a deck where they could more easily mount their dragons, but the part where the dragons live/roost/nest is a natural cavern.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

I have no idea what Igli was saying in the intro, but I wholeheartedly agree

[@markquinlin5678]

“Oh yeah, Bran’s corpse is at Winterfell.” So accurate! 😂

[@cyrilmeynier5688]

Sansa : i'm glad we can be together again. I love the three of you. Jon : I died. Arya : I am no one. Bran : I remember a boy name bran stark, by i'm now something else entirely. Sansa : 😢

[@orphanedhanyou]

Yet Bran has more brain cells & uses them more than Blake.

[@matthewtopping2061]

10:03 He's basically Paul Atredies after taking the Water of Life. He has gained full prescience and transcended his ego and solitary consciousness.

[@Fhoebys16]

Igli 😂 not understanding when the scorpion is mentioned 😂

[@NayMil92]

No idea how long I've waited for this one!

[@penguincgm489]

This is my favorite battle in GOT, the dragon is so hyped! and we have characters that we love on both side so the anxiety is doubled😂 Another scene I like is Arya and Brianne, we can see that in the end they both enjoy sparring with each other

Jon also inherited the Targeryn lust for family members

[@strangeravensupreme]

Random fact: the director of this episode was the director for every episode of WandaVision. Helped me realise why I loved this episode more than any others of season 7.

[@loftypenalty91]

In defense of Tyrion, when he was hand of the king in King's Landing, he was always going against people that weren't anywhere near as intelligent as him and also didn't know him, but now he's serving Danery he's now going directly against Cersei, who is arguably as smart as him and knows how he thinks, so he's going to have a much more difficult time now that he's on the other side.

[@orphanedhanyou]

Agree. He literally says he likes the game because he wins against dumb people and bad people. Clever isn't battle strategist. Even then no one watches the episodes unfold and think the plans sound bad. You don't know what you don't know until we see Cersei's study of Tywins teachings was not just her sucking up - she took every word to heart & because she is more ruthless and evil she is willing to do worse things to win. Tyrion did not listen and learn from his dad in the same way (which probably wasnt his fault though I can't imagine Tywin denying him or Jaime more time learning how to keep Lannisters in power).

[@dudeguys6362]

I never felt like Bran was "dead", I always got the impression he was thousands of years old in his mind. He even said that he 'remembers' being Bran.

[@deeptanuj6249]

15:39 Dark Sister is a Valerion Sword wielded by Visenya(Aegon the conqueror's sister wife) and in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON we all have seen that it is belongs to DAEMON TARGERYEN... so it is a very important sword... I will not spoil more but you will see in FUTURE HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SEASONS

[@SeenGod]

how the hell did the Dothraki all on horseback, make it from Dragonstone to The Reach that fast? it should’ve taken them weeks to get there.. also Dragonstone is an island, so did they ferry the entire Dothraki on boats to the mainland? how long would that take? not to mention they would’ve had to travel right past Kings Landing to get there 😂

[@orphanedhanyou]

Cersei's main army isn't at Kings Landing though? We don't need filler travel this late in the story.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

It takes a while for their "supply convoy" to cross from Highgarden to King's Landing as well... the time period between the conversation between Dany and Jon and the attack on the Lannister forces may have taken several days... we're not watching "24"... events are not occurring in real time.

[@alexking988]

They used Littlefingers teleportation device.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

All True! And Tyrion just basically teleported there. lol

[@arcticheroh]

Blake always says, "This is one of my top scenes." The fight between Arya and Brienne is my favorite. It really shows how OP Arya truly is.

[@dragontamer626]

I was literally so conflicted at the end of that episode. ‘No Bronn don’t kill Drogon! No Drogon don’t kill Bronn! No Jamie don’t kill Dany, no Drogon don’t kill Jamie!’

[@ShadowDogProduction]

The reaction chapter break starts at 5:58 but there's another 18 seconds of commercial reads. I appreciate the hustle. Lol

[@carlosvaldez2380]

I just finished watching your The Thing reaction. There is a second move also called the thing but a more recent year.I'd say it is better than the first.

[@carlosvaldez2380]

Please react!?

[@neutchain7838]

This whole episode Baelish is like wtf. Arya is not something he can easily manipulate and she is more than capable of violence. Bran is...well Bran cant really be manipulated because he wants nothing and the guy is throwing his own lines back at him out ow nowhere and just outright confusing him. The Stark kids have been on a separate but very different journey and all of them have arrived at the same place but neither of them wants anything he can offer lol. As much as I like this episode ( when Drogon appears above the charging Dothraki is really epic ) I just cant forgive those twats for skipping over all the important things. I fell in love with this show for the great dialogues and character moments not the spectacle. Though its great I would be happy to trade it away for more scenes between Jon and Sansa, Jon and Bran, really any interaction between the Stark children. Just let them talk a little. Igli's comment about kill stealing made me laugh out lol :)

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

Jaime going after Dany at the end might be one of my Favorite Jaime moments. The balls that it took to do that. And to finally see him as warrior, something we had not seen since Season 2 was prettt exhilarating. BTW I'm wondering if Igly read the comments because many of us had said at the time that what Jaime said to Edmure was to scare him. He wanted to negotiate with Edmure but Edmure just wanted to see Jaime as a villain so Jaime was like "I'm ready to throw your child to the Wall and every Tully that was existed cause I want to return to Cersei". But it was basically psychological warfare. It's a strategy that worked, the Lannisters got the castle without loss of life.

[@Cheers_Mcgee]

Jamie absolute legend!

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Dragonstone doesn't have a "Dragon pit" as such... it has a cavern in the "Dragon mount" (the volcanic mountain that comprises a large part of the island of Dragonstone) where the dragons roost and nest. That was where the "dragonseeds" were presented to Vermithor, and where Daemon had gone to retrieve the clutch of dragon eggs.

[@thejoeschmoshow]

This was the most expensive episode of TV when it aired. Most of the fire is real.

[@michadegraaf4570]

Dude has quite the obsession with ballistas

[@orphanedhanyou]

There is a dragonpit on Dragonstone it's just not "the" pit that is usually referenced in Kings Landing where the remaining dragons were locked & kept until they grew tiny and stopped laying eggs.

[@newnumber2721]

This is my favorite episode of this season! Drogon was so Awesome!

[@kirstythomas2528]

❤ U guys..ur such sound lovely and funny az..I have commented before but had to do another cuz u guys r a joy to watch..wud love u az my pals 😁🥰

[@Chess8548]

Scorpions have been around Westeros for a while. They show up in S2E1 of HotD.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

They were the weapon used by Dorne during Aegon's Conquest that allowed them to resist being conquered by the dragons. Aegon's sister-wife Rhaenys and her dragon Meraxes were killed during one of those battles.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

@@bill.godwin-austen I think they mainly resisted cause they used the strategy of hidding most of time. They could not even burn their castle cause nobody was there everytime. It was a maddening strategy for Aegon and his sisters. I believe Meraxed got killed when a lance pierce its eye. But Rhaenys I think got captured and was never found after that.

[@ramoncarter3121]

its called the catspaw dagger

[@jsaradar10]

Great episode. Watching it this millionth time I was just thinking it would have been cool to see a scene with arya telling Sansa and getting props for taking out the Freys.

[@esc0bert]

Google says "The ballista looked and worked like the scorpion, but it was bigger and much more powerful. It could fire a 60lb (27kg) stone forward or a 3ft bolt (100m) and was capable of hitting a wall up to 550 yards (503m) away."

Dark Sister is Daemons sword in HOTD

“My army won’t have any food to eat because they’ve taken all the food from the reach! What should I do about this?? Oh I know, I’ll go burn all of it to ash, that will fix my food problem”😂

[@orphanedhanyou]

They would have to march it to safety. They probably took what they could protect & destroying the rest meant Cersei didn't get it either.

[@yomamma.ismydaddy216]

@@orphanedhanyou that would make sense if danys army was fleeing/retreating but they weren’t. In the next episode they were just chillin talking to the people who surrendered lol. And they had a ton of horses that could pull the carriages and a dragon to be there if anyone tried to ambush them, which they wouldn’t since the lannisters just got brutally defeated

[@Bled420]

Quick thing, when Drogon flies over Bronn in that one shot when he’s on the ground, those flames are real Obviously Drogon isn’t but the flames are done for real so that’s sick

[@juniorlks1]

Despite the disappointing blatant plot armor in the battle, this is one of the best episodes in the show. People are too harsh on S7.

[@yomamma.ismydaddy216]

I love this episode, first half of this season is really good too, the biggest problems with the season are really in the next 3 episodes is when it starts going off the rails

[@orphanedhanyou]

Agree. Example "she burnt so much of the food and gold". Just like Jaime they would have had to march it out in the open until it was at a stronghold they held and could protect. Would they be able to before another force with scorpions showed up? It's better to grab some, torch the rest so then even if you don't have it... CERSEI doesn't either!

[@yomamma.ismydaddy216]

@@orphanedhanyou they wouldn’t have to march it lol it was already in carriages and they had tons of horses to pull it, and a horde of Dothraki and a dragon to defend it lol. I think the real answer is that the producers wanted to show off the dragon but they also didn’t want to have dany burning lol a thousand men, and also the food problem never really mattered in the first place because the realism was already going off the rails

[@berlin990]

It’s just another example of great production value wasted on writing that doesn’t even make sense.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

People are harsh cause it was clear that they were great at doing action and big set pieces and stunts but poor at writing by that point.

[@zay9062]

Lol only igli would point out that good point about a dragon pit lol 😂 The dragon pit in kings landing was built on top of a great Sept that Meagor the cruel burnt down so Cersi blowing up the Sept was a nod to him

[@orcocan]

i hate that scene so much

[@SeenGod]

hey she killed The Waif, that’s all you need to know 😂

[@orphanedhanyou]

So you need real time on screen months and years of content SPOONFED to you in order to understand she got more training & worked on it herself the entire show and especially in Bravos? Once a faceless man I suspect the speed and agility you gain would drastically improve your current skills and Arya has been working on improving her weapons skills since THE FIRST EPISODE.

[@shania991]

[@TheLife0fdrew]

I don’t get how you missed so many things. Gold made it to KL they said it. Before the attack. They said they had the scorpion but you didn’t register until you saw it. I feel like it’s too loud in your head that it’s hard for you to receive things in your ears. A show like this is wasted on you

[@orphanedhanyou]

It's wasted on so many. If it's not directly spelled out on screen REPEATEDLY people can't figure out the simplest of concepts. Example Blake & the Nymeria scene being "pointless" because I guess he and so many wanted Arya to find Nymeria and she suddenly become a tame wolf which would directly contradict Arya's story arc. Arya learns a lesson that her whole life she hates people asking and expecting her to be a lady.... but she did the same thing to her wild just now! That self realization is going to help her going forward when a very comfortable/easy/intriguing offer will be made & she has to be able to say while that offer is so great in so many ways....its not her and she can't compromise that. Not for security, not for love.

[@orphanedhanyou]

So many hate the end with Jaime but my husband loves medieval armor and weapons - you CAN swim in armor. Its not easy. But it's not as heavy as you would think. He says it's perfectly plausible Jaime couldn't gotten out ALONE so he def could have with Bron. Think about it this way. Jaime is healthy & lean. Does his armor plus him weigh more than Sam? How could Sam get out of the river then? But no one would question that. People complaining really have never been in a river before. Not all shoreline is shallow. Grew up on a river & one side was shallow & had a bank in a few spots but all other edges were super deep & straight drop offs, no bank just cliff. (And surprise the cgi darkness fade out is too just add doubt if he survived or not OR could even be tied to Jaime losing consciousness/air like blue the screen went black when Tyrion was nearly drowned by the Stone Men. We never had a scene literally from a non wolf characters eyes but it was just for dramatic effect.)

After everything I think it was better for Bran to sever any connection with her. 1) she's safer away from him 2) he doesn't have anything from their prior relationship that was building to give her anymore & didn't need to lead her on or give her hope. She deserves to go on and live her life & not be tied to the 3 Eyed Raven any longer.

This is my last favorite episode of the series lol. The rest of season has some good stud but pretty much every episode after this has some writing flaws that are too much to fully overlook. Even in this episode it is kind of annoying that dany is like “we need that food so my people can survive” and then she goes and just burns it all when she could have taken it. It’s literally called the ‘the spoils of war’ but there weren’t any spoils because she literally burnt it all..
