I love how Joffrey may be sitting on the iron throne but Tywin just walks up and looks down on him,you can feel the power difference

[@minski76]

Tywin's taller in every frame. Even when he stands at the bottom of the stairs, they shoot it to make him seem to tower over Joffrey... :)

[@elizagaskell7957]

Just because Joffery is king and he is seated in the Iron Throne does not make him the one who hold the power.

Yup. They are nice people overall. Tyrells are the most normal family in westeros. Can't even imagine margaery hurting someone.

[@garlantyrell6368]

I agree, can we just applaud that even though Margaery has an agenda and ulterior motive that she hasn’t turned on Sansa?

Actually, MANY of the characters are wonderfully complex (I mean, Tywin, Tyrion, Littlefinger, Varys... the list goes on and on). There's only a few that aren't, and they're great because of THAT. Brienne is one, she's not really complicated, same with Jon Snow... what you see is what you get... and it's easy to admire nobility and honour.

[@paulwagner688]

Dany was essentially sold into slavery when she "married" Khal Drogo. It wasn't until she made him love her that she felt free. She feels an empathy for all slaves and the downtrodden. Plus, as Jorah told her in Qarth, she has a "tender heart".

Arya still says her one true god is death because of Syrio "And what do we say to death? Not today"

[@angelas1060]

Yeah, it sounds all spooky and dark when she says it but she got that from Syrio who was anything but.

[@MrJH101]

Just a personal theory, but I’m thinking that Arya’s god of _death_ might actually the antithesis god that R’hllor opposes. R’hllor is supposed to be this deity of light, heat, and _life._ And the only other deity that the followers of R’hllor acknowledge as real and that they oppose is the god of ice and _death._

[@quietasashadowquickaasnake7917]

Jamie has the best character development in any book I've ever read. If you guys are book readers I highly recommend reading the book series. You get POV chapters and actually get to know what some characters are thinking. When Jamie pushes Bran out the window the exact line is "The things I do for love," he said with loathing. Jamie hated doing that the moment it happened. Also when Ned finds out about Jamie and Cersei he thinks "if it came to that, the life of some child I did not know, against Robb and Sansa and Arya and Bran and Rickon, what would I do? Even more so, what would Catelyn do, if it were Jon's life, against the children of her body? He did not know. He prayed he never would"

[@JarinCOD]

Damn, this is like the only time Joffrey was right about something, because the dragons are definitely not curiosities.

[@mikalero]

Jarin - IKR?!

[@petrorlov2599]

Jarin I believe he was also right when he talked about army reforms and centralization of power, that was somewhere in season 1 though.

[@havok6280]

There are three songs everyone in Westeros knows: the Dornishman's Wife, the Lannister family song, and The Bear and the Maiden Fair. The last one is the title of this episode. They played a cover of it over the credits right after Jamie lost his hand. This show loves foreshadowing...

[@LeChaunce]

The Bolton men were also singing The Bear And The Maiden Fair at the beginning of that episode as they were leading Jaime and Brienne through the woods.

[@LeChaunce]

Considering it's the single most popular song in Westeros and people are singing it repeatedly throughout the books (especially book 3, which is when this episode takes place), I'm really surprised it's not heard more often in the show than that one time. Guess the producers just prefer the tune for Rains of Castamere, since it's so conveniently musical shorthand for the Lannisters.

[@felipeaquitral]

I agree with Derek. Rains of Castamere is not well known either, at least in the show very few people know the song. On 2x9 Tyrion is surprised that Bronn even knows the song and he reply he learned it from drunks Lannister, not just anyone.

[@Mayhemm007]

@@felipeaquitral Well, it's like the Lannister "theme", so it makes sense for them to be the ones who know it best and sing it most often. It's also a great tune, though, so I don't oppose the show using it whenever a Lannister (ie: Tyrion or Jamie) is being particularly badass.

[@felipeaquitral]

@Mayhemm007 I know that the Lannister would be the ones more familiar with the song, I was replying to the OP that said everyone know that song in-universe, wich is false, the series imply that just a few people know the song. When it's used as extradiegetic music is for the audience to identify the song with Lannister's badass moments; when it's used as diegetic music (much more rare) very few characters (mostly Lannisters) recognize the song (e.g when Tyrion heard Bronn sing on 2x9).

[@paratus04]

Your mention of Darth Vader reminded me of a Star Wars GoT meme. Anakin Skywalker - I lost my hand! Luke Skywalker - I lost my hand! Jamie Lannister - I lost my hand! Lord Varys and Theon - That’s cute.

[@yankeesplyr23]

Jamie's "Sorry about the sapphires," then the Lannister theme music kicking in is such an awesome moment.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Technically having sex isn't against his oath. The oath says they can't take a wife or have kids. #lovethemloopholes

[@mikalero]

Hobodeluxe960 - By wildling equivalent tradition, Ygritte IS Jon's wife. When she says she's HIS woman, that's wildling equivalent of marriage.

[@nathanl.4528]

Love them -loop- holes

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Mika Lero good thing he didn't swear an oath to the Wildlings eh?

[@SneakyCustard]

Mika Lero exactly, the scene with Osha was meant to reinforce that, because she used the same terminology when speaking about her husband "I was his and he was mine"

[@Hobodeluxe960]

she should have been up front with him then. told him that if they "did it" that it was considered marriage. imo she used him ,she seduced him,she is the only one aware of this "contract" and it's null and void because of it imo. It takes two signatures to make it valid.

[@geekwithglasses2897]

Jojens vision wasn't of the future it was of the present He saw Jon north of the wall surrounded by Wildlinga That is what he meant

[@crappiefisher1331]

exactly.. they interpret far too much into this vision... jon being on the wrong side of the wall = jon being north of the wall instead of south or manning the wall surrounded by enemies = jon snow not surrounded by "crows" aka "his people", but surrounded by wildlings aka "the enemy" of the nights watch and the people from south of the wall

[@toddjolly8543]

I respectfully disagree. My stupid theory about the vision is that it is the future he saw which meant he saw Jon south of the Wall. He needs to be north, fighting White Walkers...silly I know. I'm not insulted by people who think it's a rubbish theory :)

[@neilgriffiths6427]

Geek with Glasses Spoiler?: *enemies - how do YOU know these enemies were Wildings? There are OTHER things, beyond the Wall....

[@househeisenberg6926]

The fact is there's no way to know what Jojen meant by enemies. For you to say otherwise is simply incorrect. He could be talking about the present situation with Jon surrounded by wildlings, or he could be talking about a future situation with Jon surrounded by wildlings, white walkers, etc. He's a greenseer, meaning he can see into the future. They kept it purposefully vague so it's up to the viewer to decide what he meant. I mean there's a reason he said "enemies" instead of "wildlings".

[@brentperkins5055]

Todd Jolly I agree. I think he meant south when he said "wrong side". Jojen sees the army of the dead as the main threat, and they are north of the wall.

[@s.w.d4010]

I wish they would’ve made this clear on the show like they do in the books but Jaime’s best quality (in my opinion) is his disgust for rape and violence against women.

“My dress is made of the purest silk from tra-la-la-la-lolly-day.” One of my favorite lines 🤣 That exchange between those two always makes me laugh.

[@serelryk5365]

I think that young Jaime was a bit like Sansa in a way. He had this idealized, almost fairy-tale like version of what knights and heroes and honor was supposed to be, only to become traumatically disillusioned by the real world. I think he found that most knights were in reality just blustering hypocrites, or fools who would keep their "oaths" even at the cost of tolerating the most vile acts done by their lords and then calling that "honor". And then he meets Brienne, who I think is the embodiment of everything he always felt like a knight should be. He obviously has an immense amount of respect for her. Which is awesome.

[@lstarsabb]

that's a good point you grow being told your whole life your better than everyone you're going to act that way until your taught you bleed just like everyone else.

[@Perceptionreflection]

Jaime pushed Bran to save his own children. He attacked Ned because his brother was in danger. As you recently heard, he broke his vow in order to protect millions of King's Landing peasants. People are more than in the grey, they are judged far harsher if they are arrogant or wealthy, or aligned with those we don't like. Jaime is not a bad man in the world he lives in, he is merely the enemy by default.

[@ccispahan7514]

No one does semi-veiled threats like Daenerys. That scene where she makes her 3 dragons fly and fight for a piece of meat as the emissary from Yunkai enters her tent is gold. And Drogon usually plays along with her, adding very open threats to the mix! 😉

[@TheMaskedChef7]

CC Ispahan75 I really enjoy how much real power we can see in her eyes ! Emilia's eyes are pretty expressive it's one the reasons why they decided not to add purple CGi or contacts because her real eyes tend to speak . I believe she was the one to make this decision the creators agreed smart call.

[@system0fadowner251]

[@geekwithglasses2897]

Fun Fact Bronn and Cersai will rarely be seen in a scene together because Lena Heady and Jerome Flynn used to date and the break up was messy It is in their contract that they must do everything possible for them to avoid each other

[@robert04872]

Do they ever even share a scene together in the show? I don't think I recall them even having any screentime at all together.

[@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679]

The only scene they share is in the premiere of season 3, when Bronn and Ser Meryn Trant are threatening eachother until Cersei walks out from talking to Tyrion. Bronn is a stunt double in this scene since it just shows the back of his head, so the characters share a scene but Jerome and Lena never actually did.

[@robert04872]

Oh yeah. That's weird. I definitely remember their characters speaking in the books.

[@TheRealIronMan]

That sounds like some epic story, I bet they are still madly in love, otherwise they wouldnt have cared enough to go though such length to avoid each other.

[@robert04872]

How'd you get off Titan?

[@LordBloodraven]

Another Actor Note (well, a bear actor): Yes, that was a real bear that was performing in Los Angeles. To get practical shots, the bear was performing with a body double for Gwendoline Christie. However, to make sure that the bear would be used to the dress (and not freak out or attack the double) its trainer had to wear the dress while training the bear for some time prior to shooting. That had to be quite a sight. A bearded man in a dress staging mock fights with a bear.

I have been waiting for this episode for so long! Every single time Steven would reference Theon having no junk I screamed at my phone "OMG JUST WAIT!"

[@dadaseyi]

Jaime in the bath with Brienne, is my favorite scene in the first 3 seasons. My understanding of him quadrupled in that scene, and he became a tragic figure. Plus, the line, "by what right, does the wolf question the lion?" is just flawless and gives an idea how the Lannisters look down on everyone.

[@JarinCOD]

Exactly.

[@roseofthegarden_]

Tyrion is definitely the best person Sansa could be with in such circumstances, but I can see why she is unhappy, she is still stuck in King's Landing with a psychopathic king who: "isn't the type to give away his toys." It sucks on all sides. Sansa is still trapped in Kings Landing. Tyrion is now trapped in an engagement with a woman he doesn't love. Shae is forced to watch the man she loves and her friend marry, unwillingly.

[@elizabitty213]

I love when Ygritte says something like...If you rip my silk dress I’ll blacken your eye lmao so fricken cute ❤️ love you guys! See ya on the flip side

[@MagesLikeYouAndI]

So, Jaime didn't really push Bran out of the window because he was doing his sister, he did it because if people found out, Robert might suspect the 3 children were not his, and would kill Cersei and them. So anybody who is saying they wouldn't do the same thing to save their 3 secret children doesn't really know what they might do in that situation.

[@MagesLikeYouAndI]

Furious Magpie Really?! 😮

[@emmaconnolly5738]

Furious Magpie you've GOT to look at it from their point of view, not ours! The Targaryens married brother to sister for hundreds of years, they've grown up in this world where it's acceptable within the royal family for goodness sake. In their heads it's easily justified.

[@MagesLikeYouAndI]

Emma Connolly Exactly. Dany's parents were brother and sister, even Tywin was married to his own first cousin! From Jaime's POV, he was attempting to kill Bran in order to save his own children. It's horrible, but still understandable in that situation.

[@CheddahSlammer]

Regardless of the reasons, its still considered an evil act.

[@felipeaquitral]

I don't care if he had sex with his mother or whatever, but I wouldn't try to kill an *innocent little boy* just because what he saw could kill me and my family. It's my fault, not the kid's. I would run to Essos or something, but wouldn't do that "for love". So no, I can't understand why he did that and that is justified by some fans. But that's just me... I still think Jaime is one of the most interesting characters of GoT and I completely understand that trying to kill Bran was in-character, I just wouldn't do it :P

[@benkohlmeyer2083]

Steven showing passion about the redemption of Jaime as more than just a heel/villain makes me smile.

Joffrey’s displeasure at Tywin holding small council meetings in the Tower of the Hand is actually pretty valid (yes I did throw up a little writing that). One of the laws of power is that power does not travel, so by making everyone, including the king, come to him, Tywin is asserting his dominance over them. Also making Brienne fight the bear was supposed to be a reference to the in-universe song “The Bear and the Maiden Fair”. That was the “joke”, for the soldiers at least.

[@serelryk5365]

0:43 I'm sure there will be a hundred other comments clarifying this, but Jojen's vision that Jon was "on the wrong side of the wall" just meant that he was on the North side of it, and "surrounded by enemies" was referring to his status as a spy/mole, who are constantly "surrounded by enemies". It didn't mean surrounded as in battle.

[@samrudgyard7887]

When Jojen said "[Jon Show] was surrounded by enemies and on the wrong side of the wall", he meant that he was surrounded by the wildlings he is with at the moment. To Jojen the wildlings are their enemies, and on the wrong side of the wall because he is beyond the wall rather than in the North.

[@reactionjunkie7891]

CHEERS to the moderators, you guys help keep this channel fresh, fun and spoiler free for all of us! I have no idea why it's so hard to write comments that don't reveal or include thoughts, events or plots which have taken place in future episodes or books, like seriously for those who can't seem to grasp it: Use your head for more then a hat rack!!! On a lighter note, great reaction guys! Your the first channel i watch when i see updates when i wake up haha

[@OG_Fernando]

I use to be one of these peeps carelessly commenting all the while believing my comment is not a spoiler. Damm was I wrong...lol. I would suggest peeps read this article - verysmartbrothas.theroot.com/how-to-be-an-asshole-who-spoils-a-show-without-even-rea-1822521842

[@TheMaskedChef7]

Pickle Rîck Thanks Rick we really appreciate your comments it never have spoilers and yes we are doing our best. Cheers mate.

[@corruptangel6793]

I never noticed before that the music playing at the end of the episode when Jaine rescued Brianne was the Rains of Castamare, a song about Lannisters beating their enemies. A nice touch.

[@WraithWTF]

Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) is such an amazing actor...man doesn't even have to say a word, he can just command the room with a simple look. Jaime's story is a perfect example of the shades of grey that everything in GoT exists in...

[@Kaldurahm1]

Look at the way they compose the scenes with Joffrey and Tywin. Tywin *towers* over Joffrey. Always. They make sure Joffrey looks smaller in every shot and even as Tywin walks down the stairs and away from the throne, he's still much bigger. Very fun.

[@cfinley81]

BTW, I had been telling my mom about you guys and yesterday, she was visiting and I showed her your last GoT vid. She was really into it. :) Totally love you guys. Best reaction vids on KZbin imho.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Ah thank you Christina!!! Tell your mom we said hello! - Nikki

[@cfinley81]

Will do! :)

[@IAmJustR]

"take the gold" Drogon: 😀Yeah Take it😀 😂

[@Hsviss87]

I’m actually getting thru the weeks right now knowing we will get three more GoT videos!! Y’all are awesome and the schedule is so cool of you!!

[@kyliebrowne5111]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the way Nikki & Steven L😍😍KS @ each other? I think that's what draws me towards you guys the most, It is so beautiful to watch. The love and care is so Evident.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Ah omg thank you! I love hearing that - Nikki

[@palmeespring]

Ygritte was so adorable in when she asked if the windmill was a palace. What a sweet little savage.

[@andrew5500]

It's not just that Brienne brings out the best in Jaime, it's also that Cersei and Tywin bring out the absolute worst in Jaime. And they've been a huge influence on Jaime (especially Cersei) his entire life. At least he had his brother Tyrion growing up to somewhat balance out Tywin's influence, but until Brienne nobody had been there to balance out Cersei's influence... It's a really interesting look at how love has the potential to change a person. Cersei's had him wrapped around her finger since they were little kids, and now that he's spending time with (and starting to care about) someone like Brienne, it makes you wonder how Jaime's personality might've turned out differently if he'd never gotten so close to Cersei in the first place.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Yes, agree agree agree!!! - Nikki

[@Nikomairi]

Love your guys break down of the episodes guys. I can honestly say that I was nowhere near as switched on as you both.

[@JonInCanada1]

Another great reaction. Poor Nikki, so conflicted, Brianne needs help but don't hurt the Bear. LOL This was a nice story arch for Jamie as we get to see a side of him not yet revealed. Also loving Dani's continued rise and her unyielding strength of will; remember her from the first episode and you can't help but be in awe of her. The interesting thing about this show is how when it first started, a lot of people said it was misogynist because the women were all portrayed as weak...then came season 2, and especially season 3, and laid to rest that misconception. The women of GoT are incredibly strong in ways that we've not seen in other series. This is why we love it, because all is not as it seems. Again, another great reaction.

[@allbies]

In my top 5 favourite episodes for reasons I can't explain. The ending just gets me with the music whilst they walk off, felt epic.

[@docholliday7256]

Its great to relive this series again through the eyes of someone else. You guys do a great job and I don't think its a spoiler to say that this show only gets more compelling and "stressful" but its worth it.

[@serelryk5365]

8:49 People can have more than one goal! XD And yes, it does seem dangerous (because it is), but she is a revolutionary. They tend to feel that upholding justice and ideals are worth challenging any dangers.

[@TheMaskedChef7]

Ser Elryk 👌🔥🧡

[@serelryk5365]

I love that comparison by the way, Steven. "If Darth Vader can be redeemed. So can Jaime Lannister." Very well said, my friend =)

[@karlmoles6530]

One of about a thousand things the writers fucked up in the last couple seasons was Gendry. Seriously how awesome would it have been for him to have fought in full Baratheon armor with the Stag Helmet and War Hammer in the war against the dead

[@Latexi_LMX]

Highlight of the day, waiting and watching these GoT reactions! You guys are awesome!

[@mr_niceman]

cory75FI me too!

[@adamromero]

me too :)

[@TheBugalooGuy]

I wanted to rewatch GoT again recently but after finding your channel I'm far more enjoying watching the highlights of each season and seeing your guys' reactions!! Your GoT series is fucking epic and please keep them coming quickly!! LOVE IT GUYS!

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Thank you! - Nikki

[@WeyardsWoWMusic]

This is a pretty fun episode, huh! Man I still love love love the scenes with Tywin. His actor is so flawless and just knows how to wield that sense of control and power!

[@oddbrother11]

My cats meow just like yours, very loudly... I had to pause a couple times because I thought it was my cats meowing at my door LOL. Awesome reaction, keep it up! :D

[@loubelle3210]

Hahaha you two are so fun to watch 😂😂❤️ Arya's god is "Death" because her Dancing Master Syrio Forel told her. "There is only one God, and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today'."

[@dafarsher9738]

The exchange between Tywin and Joffrey in this episode is quite brilliantly directed with every single shot showing Tywin as powerful and in control and Joffrey as insignificant. Great stuff! A new young wolf to add to the Stark house woohoo!

[@asheradensein]

This is the one episode where I actually respected Joffrey a bit. When he tells Tywin that they should be more concerned about Daenerys and her dragons, he's 100% right. He was actually forward thinking enough to see Daenerys as a threat, when EVERYBODY else is underestimating her.

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

Your two's emotional investments into this series mirrors my own...I watch along with you and find myself saying exactly what you two are saying...and it is so fun to feel a part of this journey. Good job!

[@Lore86Ma]

Nikki i love you just because you love Sansa. I feel this is such a unpopular opinion and i love her so much. And that moment when you realise you really like Jamie.

[@ronh3424]

yes loredana good comment i its nice that someone cares about sansa and how well she is playing the game at her young age and how frightening it must be for her

[@loubelle3210]

I will never understand why people forget, that Sansa is only a child and don't see her deep pain. Thanks Nikki ❤️👍

[@rullmourn1142]

I think she is the most polarizing character in the show....Remember the Sansa Meter on Hogwarts?

[@Lore86Ma]

Rull Mourn i always feel that Sansa was the most real character. Her reactions to the situation is so human

[@rullmourn1142]

A young naive, teen girl, caught in a desperate and scary situation. She plays the part well.

[@chardwbu]

3:18 "Feel bad about Theon's fingers? That's cute." (pats Nikki on the head)

[@ninoskhaey188]

*stops studying for biology to watch his favourite reactors*

[@miquelcanosasanteularia1678]

Ninos Khaey is coming and you know it

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Awww thank you, biology was always my favorite in school. hope you got back to studying, thank you for watching - Nikki

[@rayraygunner]

I get chills every time I watch the scene where Mel tells Gendry about his father. So hyped to hear King Robert’s theme again! 🦌💛

[@hindox222]

I enjoy your reactions so much. Entertainment at its finest.

[@secretagent57]

Loved Steven's analysis of Jamie from the last reaction, Joffrey is a sick pup,Jon and Yrett are really good together

[@cerw1n_]

The Stark theme is so great but damn, that Lannister theme playing while Jaime is leaving Harrenhal with Briene is sooooo good!

[@dale27488]

Stannis theme is awesome, too. Very powerful

[@stgm]

I love Tywin's baller move of stopping for a second, so the King's Guard stop following him.

[@LadySophiaVelaryon]

And when he walks up the stairs and invades Joffrey's personal space lol.

[@care233]

take just a moment to reflect on the story you are being told... GRRM has created all these characters with all their complexities, weaving this story with its pitfalls, all its twists and turns...What a Master Storyteller. All Hail George. Then think about the fact this only TV. HBO has dug deep into their pockets. Spending unheard of$$$ for this production. All Hail HBO. And Dan and Dave for bringing Georges Story to life on screen. Assembling this cast that you love and you hate. Mastery. All Hail Dan and Dave.

[@helenadoyle1041]

Tywin is definitely holding the power atm.. he just commands the room with very little talk, his silences speak volumes. Great reaction again thankyou guys x

[@xser4321]

I love your reactions! I watch them every day at work... don't tell my boss.

[@ricey23]

I love the way the Joffrey and Tywin scene is filmed shooting Tywin upwards and Joffrey downward to show how Tywin is powerful over Joffrey

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

Finally! :) And yes: this show is stressing sometimes. I almost quit like two or three times because I was always on edge watching it.
