Major, you don't realise how much I enjoy watching this with you. When the first seasons hit I watched it together with my teenage son & husband and we always had such fun.

Thank you , cherish your precious family 🙏🏻💚

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry for your loss. That's just horrible. I can understand the mixed emotions. My prayers will be with you today

[@sallycriss353]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. My experience is very much different, but in some ways similar. I went through an ugly divorce from an abusive husband of 20 years. One late night my oldest daughter, knowing I love fantasy and history convinced me to watch "just one episode" of GoT. It was midnight. BUT any parent of teens or young adults knows you take your moments with them when you can. We ended up watching 6 episodes that night/morning. What started with just us grew to include my other kids and eventually their now partners. It was a Sunday night ritual. Not only that, but a cultural phenomenon. I cried after the last episode. Not because of the way it ended, but because it was the end of a family event. Now my daughter is married. My son lives in another state. My youngest getting ready to leave the home. It is a joy to watch others experience what we did. It feels like family.

[@jayholland2632]

I had a very similar experience with watching this series originally. My wife watched the first 3 seasons and finally convinced me to watch one as the lead up to season four approached. I was instantly hooked and was able to binge everything in time to watch the next 3 season with my wife. We were both in eager anticipation of season 7 when she unexpectedly died at the age of 47. Our 22 year old daughter moved back home to help me through the grieving process and we watched the remaining seasons together with a great sense of melancholy. I think it is one of the things that draws me to watching these reactions, so that I can sort of relive the times and joy I experienced watching with my wife.

Bran and Theon have some surprisingly emotional moments here considering how robotic Bran has been. I think they made Bran too cold in earlier eps so nice to see him slightly Bran like. Dany and Drogon are a team. You can see how in sync they are and how intelligent Drogon really is in battle.

[@davidjones272]

Bran certainly becomes less robotic over the course of the last 2 seasons, but that makes sense. Basically at the point where he becomes the 3 eyed raven he's exposed to a huge amount of information. He's overwhelmed emotionally and shuts himself off. Remember Bran isn't just seeing the past, he's getting glimpses of the future. He plans this battle so they can manoeuvre the Night King into a position where he's vulnerable. He's the one who gives Arya the dagger, he picks the position in the God's Wood etc. In doing so Bran knows he will be causing the death of tens, even hundreds of thousands of people. It takes a lot out of him. I've always thought that the reason why Bran was cold to Meera was that he wanted to make sure she wouldn't be at Winterfell, he was making sure she would live.

The camera cut from Sansa and Tyrion behind the wall to Jon coming out of hiding with his sword raised as the Ramin Djawadi score starts playing is cinematic gold. I always say this. The darkness throughout the episode is obviously frustrating but as someone with a little camera operating experience the shots during the climax sequence are straight eye porn.

[@mamaseesa3122]

I love the darkness. Battles like Helms Deep, you needed the light, because seeing the size of the orc army was what terrified you. In this battle, the darkness is part of the terror. The idea that there's something in that darkness that moves fast, doesn't feel pain, and is hard to kill is terrifying! The tension ramps up like crazy for me. That wall of wights coming out of the darkness makes me jump back every time. And Arya's thing in the library trying to be quiet is straight out of the walking dead!

I'm not much of a battle aficionado so I'm not that interested in the technical know hows of the different strategies and tactics of medieval siege battles that could've made this better. I'm also very mindful of theories that weren't paid off, like the Azor Ahoi angle. But from a purely sentimental perspective, this episode had me line and sinker. I'm more than lenient towards technical errors when a journey can get me this impassioned. Hats off to Alfie Allen, the range of acting he showed playing Theon is unbelievable. The music is enchanting. Ramin Djawadi's score is chef's kiss. The ambience of "the Night King slow walking through the wintery forest with the red hue of the Weirwood tree contrasting the blue hour twilight sky" is everything I had always imagined and some more.

[@RyoHazuki224]

Yeah, from a tactical angle there were so many mis-steps. You had siege weapons out there, and yet barely used them but send out Dothraki first? Why wasn't there a line of archers out there, even if they didn't have enough dragonglass-tipped arrows, they could have used fire-tipped arrows and just light them up. And, at the point to where they were pushed back all the way until they had to light that trench on fire, why wasn't there rows of archers on the wall taking out as many as they could? They were just standing there waiting. The only thing I can think of is that they didn't have enough time to prepare their defenses since Edd came and said they will be here by night time. Perhaps they thought they had more time? But yeah, that part with Theon, as much as I hated the strategy, it gets me every time. The music and the tone of everything, they did hit that part right in the feels.

[@SDG.12]

@@RyoHazuki224 Thank you. That’s a pretty balanced critique, and I completely agree. There’s definitely things I would’ve done differently tactics wise. And to be fair, if we really put our history buff hat on, we can point out tactical flaws in Blackwater or Battle of the Wall too. People have different tastes. Like for example, I never thought not getting a Jon Night King fight was a big deal. If logistical accuracy is someone’s main thing, then I totally understand why they would have issues with the episode. For me, when I’m watching a TV show it’s mainly about the emotion it brings out from me. I think ASOIAF fans sometimes forget this is not an actual historical battle. At the end of the day it’s a battle against supernatural ice zombies. I've seen far worse hair-brained tactics in zombie movies and movies about Greece and Rome, with 10% the emotion.

[@RyoHazuki224]

@@SDG.12 Yeah for sure. I mean we have to also remember that in terms of historical vs cinematic battles, this one weighs heavy on the cinematic side and so they went from the start to give you a narrative structure to the battle, even though it may fly in the face of most tactical logic. They want you to feel like whatever they did to win seem hopeless, they want you to have that dread and despair up until the very end. So, from a narrative perspective it doesn't make sense to make them have a super winning strategy and then just be like "Oh... well that was easy." We as viewers have the benefit of hindsight to look at everything from an outside perspective and say "this is what I would have done differently" and also to look at the fact that you're just dealing with mostly mindless zombies, and I think as nerds we've all thought about how we would defend ourselves in a zombie apocalypse, so we all thought to apply that to the characters on screen and be like "Come on, Jon haven't you ever seen The Walking Dead??" hahah

The show runners of GoT decided they didn't want a lot of "magic" in their show so they left out quite a bit about the crypts. The Kings and Lords of Winter all have swords laid across their laps in the crypt to keep "vengeful spirits within the crypt". It's possible in the real book (Winds of Winter), when it comes out, that the Lords of Winter may actually serve as protection against the vengeful spirits (the wight walkers and wights) entering the crypt. Which would make sense then that they'd go down there. I actually think it would be quite fun to see the Kings of Winter, including Ned Stark, being reanimated to fight against the Night King instead of for him.

This was hands down the best reaction since the inception of KZbin reactions.

[@Jethedril]

I love how emotionally attached and hype you get. Really helps me relive what I felt internally the first time I watched

[@mamakat114]

I watched on Patreon, but HAD TO watch you react to this episode again!!!! Arya's WHOLE JOURNEY was what got me through the heartbreaks. It looks like it helped you too

[@sandimcalisterblood2675]

Me too lol

[@JackieEco]

You are one of the best reactors out there! If not the best :-)

[@RennersPT-C]

From this ep, I felt like Bran knows the future but he also doesn't mess with it, it has to play out how its supposed to go.

[@TheBrookshelf]

"Auntie need you" took me out lmao🤣🤣. Great video per usual! I was so hyped to see this reaction!

[@anenemyanemone4923]

Seriously, thanks man. You are one of the best reactors out there. You actually understand what's going on a lot more quickly than most and your reactions are so genuine. People watch reaction videos for the same reason they like to show something they enjoy to their friends. You, sir, would be a kickass person to watch anything with.

[@peters4115]

I swear that chair can go through more damage than a wight the way you ground and pounded it this time 😂💀

[@maxwiidanen7281]

Constantly in this series they talk about the importance of holding castles then they go and put their troops outside the walls negating the advantage

[@NotoriousMinion]

Lol let’s just have all the Dothraki do a suicide charge, put the siege engines in front of the unsullied, and put everyone in front of the walls 😂

[@maxwiidanen7281]

@@xXSinForLifeXx true, but still frustrating

[@NotoriousMinion]

@@xXSinForLifeXx They had two dragons. Just have them deal with the one smaller dragon and put everyone behind the walls. The unsullied and Dothraki were killed by wights, not by the dragon, your point does not stand.

[@krichardj]

That dagger she used was the one Littlefinger gave to the assassin to implicate Tyrion; Littlefinger gave it to Brand; Brand gave it to Arya with a knowing look; Ayra showed that exact same dagger drop move in the fight with Brianne. And the picture of that dagger was in the ancient book that Sam found in Old Town on the pages before the map of dragon glass on Dragon Rock.

[@tristanhandy2505]

The same dagger is in house of the dragon

[@antoinettelopes]

I honestly feel like that dagger was probably more special than they told us. Possibly because Dan & Dave didn't know. It might have been the only weapon that could have killed him.

[@tristanhandy2505]

@@antoinettelopes I think the prequels/sequels will overall help the original end to GoT. GRRM is behind House of the Dragon so I think the end of GoT is enough

I can't wait to finish this ride with you my dude. Let's go!

[@JA-ui7ex]

Its 7pm on a Sunday in Miami and I’m telling you, I’m halfway through, fucking love this shit. I appreciate the commitment and attachment to this show and it’s characters. Many “clickbaters” out there. Major isn’t one of them. He fucking loves it and it reminds me of the first time watching it. Respect. Getting molly whopped and murked - said the same ish first time around.

[@clwright316]

i have watched this episode so many times on its own and the absolute nauseating anxiety that riddles my body NEVER goes away. same as day 1. THIS is unreal tv.

[@blackkatt777]

Props to Jaqen Hagar, whom I still believe posed as Syrio, her dance sword instructor, because the many faced good sent him to find her and train her...like the 3 eyed Raven sent for Brandon. We never saw Syrio die and if you rewatch that scene after Arya runs away but stops to hear what's going on...you hear swords clanging. That, to me, seems like he picked up a sword and defended himself. The Hound said that Trant couldn't fight, so I think he didn't kill Syrio. Arya slit his throat and stuffed his mouth with rags, so he never got to get out what he was desperately trying to tell her. Jaqen accomplished what was necessary and gave her all she needed to learn, and the focused fire within to carry it out. Once she killed the Waif and was focused with conviction and said she was leaving...he knew she was ready. That's why the tiny smirk on his face and head nod. The Starks are magic (well, not Sansa). They were trusted by the Children of the Forest since the days of the first men and Andols. That may also be a good reason why there should always be a Stark at Winterfell. The name of the castle is an easter egg in itself. Their house slogan, "Winter is coming"....it all adds up to a foreshadowing of this dark night coming and taking place in that spot. Daenerys and her dragons played their part in the battle, but in the end, it had to be a Stark. Honestly, I thought that it would be Jon because of the build up of his whole story arc. I was glad that Arya got her big fish, but still....I wanted Jon to have that glorious win under his belt. Theon earned his honor back in such an amazing way. He died as an honorary member of the Stark family. Jon was raised as a Stark, and so he is a Stark. His values are their values, only he learned some things of the world to adjust to along the way. Him being raised as a northerner, with their values, is the main reason why he couldn't continue being Dany's lover. I know Ned was looking down on them and was so proud.

[@detroitrox1830]

Major you ever think you would shed one damn tear for Theon Greyjoy when u started this? 😢 talk about 1 character coming full circle…

[@fedeanna8708]

🤣🤣🤣 Stop callin him that dude from the Brotherhood , he's my man Beric Dondarrion!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@valerionfishscales.2262]

The very meaning of pain. Is when Lady Lyana Mornant. Turns into a wit. The look on majors face.

[@KerryEllyn]

Thanks for giving me the same feelings of watching it for the first time with you! I’ve seen this so many times…and I’ve been enjoying the journey all over again with you before HotD!

[@KeithDCanada]

I would like someone to tell me, exactly how does a wight break out of a stone tomb, and yet it couldn't break out of the wooden crate that they carried it in down to King's Landing to show Cersei....?

[@morganepg]

You are literally a dream come true. I have been wanting to rewatch all of Game of Thrones. But didn't have the time before the new season comes out. Watching your reaction videos gives me the opportunity to move through the entire series more quickly, and also feel like I'm watching the series with a friend. I'm super excited to see all of your reactions I'm absolutely loving this. I spend my breaks as a nurse hiding away watching your reaction videos. Love it.

[@shadowmotv]

“Lay you ass down..Let’s goo real smoove get her up out of here “😂😂😂🙏🏿Legendary not to mention that at 42:17 hit us with the Chris Tucker whip his ass best reaction ever 😂🐐

[@DeeDeeChillen420]

i feel like people either dont realize it or overlook the Melisandre moment.. people dont seem to get that she took her necklace off, withered in seconds and died in the cold in front of the biggest two non-believers of the show.. theres so much emotion in this episode i dont even think i can cover it all at the moment or ill just start blubbering all over again.. im comin back for the edit.. ⚔🗡❤‍🔥💙❤❤‍🔥🗡⚔

[@specialagentweener1073]

I know alot of people were upset about Arya killing the night king. I thought that was the best choice. At this point in the series I felt like she needed to have a reason for her training and the red woman's predictions and berics purpose. It connected alot of plot points from earlier seasons. But so many people were mad about it not being jon. Arya is a sneaky bitch. That's how she got to the n.k. with out anyone knowing.

[@OcGurl81]

I agree 💯. Arya definitely was the better choice imo to kill the NK. John killing him would've been so predictable.

[@HK-ny8pr]

That’s exactly what I thought! Jon is a warrior. He’s brave af but when he goes straight at the night all the night king does is raise the dead. It had to be an assassin, it had to be Arya!

[@mrs.sherry]

Epic reaction!!! The Mormont family has some brave blood. Lord Commander, Jorah, and little Lyanna Mormont. Thank you for coming so far and I have enjoyed watching this with you. We misplace gratitude to the red women that belongs to the lord of light...lol In the end we are all used pawns of the Gods.

[@phoenixnuhl]

This episode is the most intense thing that has ever hit television. It’s 1 hour of pure heart attack.

I saw this comment before I even watched the reaction. Once I did, I howled with laughter when I saw it with my own eyes. Hilarious!!!

[@fedeanna8708]

I swear Major , I've never been so genuinely stressed out for a tv show or movie

[@nellynell9594]

I was cracking up the whole time!! The tension, the angst, the fear, the dead army running at Arya, the dead being revived, little lady Mormont went out like an ABSOLUTE BOSS! When you got on your knees...I died and came back!! 🤣🤣🤣 The next episodes just may land you in the er!! I truly enjoy watching your reactions!! Stay tuned for more madness!!

[@luisf4077]

Thank you for staying with us throughout. You never gave up. We told you that you wouldn’t regret it. The emotional roller coaster is real. Your reactions are legit. Bro, my guy, the north remembers.

[@leomullin9192]

I personally care as little about shit like what the correct geometric alignments of the zombie killing trebuchet should be as I cared about how Pyat Pree manages to kill every powerful man in the world's greatest city in under three seconds. I don't give a flying ish. The blue flame of the injured Viserion lighting up the night with Theon hacking away at the undead and the Night King gliding through the snow clad godswood just as you start to hear the first notes of the BGM is the coolest vibe ever. That's the shit I get off on. The tension escalating with every step the Night King takes towards Bran as you sense the tur climax coming is gotdamn epic. Heck ya it was awesome.

[@drxpgawd4860]

My boy theon had the biggest character arc in the show 💯 RIP

We don't talk about the faults in the story because you're still on the journey.

People hated on this episode so hard, but your reaction was EXACTLY how I was. I loved it.

- Jon "Lets Just Scream at a Zombie Dragon" Targ - Sansa "super smart, but doesn't know how to use a knife" Stark - Tyrion "let hide from the zombie king in the crypts" lannister - Dany "let's send our mounted horsemen into a wall of zombies,and let keep our soldiers OUTSIDE of the wall" Targ Here is who SHOULD HAVE not made it through: pod, gilly/Sam, tormund, Davis, beric, red woman, Jorah, Ed, Arya (injured), Sansa (injured), lord royce,

And then the dragon falls. Jon was like "omg what did i do" 😂

[@Mitthradata]

Ahhh yes, a battle episode, between major and his chair

[@yoggsaron8867]

Honestly some minor issues aside I've come to like this way more after years of seeing all the same set of alternatives that the 200 IQs have come up with that they confidently think are so dope, but in reality most of the solutions are worse than the problems. Like I get it, if hyper realism is someone's thing that's great. Watch a docu on Napoleon. What are you doing watching a show with demon baby murders. I'm simple. I'm satisfied with having to get the tissue out for Greyjoy's last stand. This was sad and beautiful. Tbh if this episode belonged to another show they would be singing its praises from the high heavens. Well I'm glad you were so absorbed into it. This is what happens every time someone watches without letting preconceived notions dictate how to feel about it.

[@planetofthegrapes7838]

i watched a channel react to this episode just recently and that person had an even more passionate reaction than you had. they were in full breakdown mode and shit. this hits all the right emotional keys darkness notwithstanding. the tragedy of game of thrones is that its own so called "real fandom" decided the show was a failure and then backfilled everything to fit that narrative. the fact that it is the most watched live action tv show of all time with 60 emmys didn't matter because they had already stubbornly decided the author wanted something different. even tho one actually knows if that was true or if the major plot points were exactly what he had envisioned originally. if you're sufficiently uncharitable you can pick flaws in anything. i can sit here and pick apart the best season of Breaking Bad or Sopranos. but the difference is their own "real fans" didn't doom the show out of pure spite by ignoring all the good. When I watch reactions like yours and everytime they say how awesome this is, it infuriates me to no end thinking that shows who don't even deserve to be in the same stratosphere as Got are revered as masterpieces while Got is treated as the red headed stepchild. The ASOIAF cult is worse than Synder groupies and Star Wars elitists combined honestly.
