[@79glane928]

I agree, Episode 9 was better. I would say maybe 9 and 10 were the best b2b episodes of TV ever tho. I remember watching these when they dropped and I believe the quality of these 2 episodes is a big reason people hated the ending so much. They were coming off this incredible high only to see the entire pace of the show change and the ending completely rushed. This show shouldve been 10 seasons. We were robbed of 4 full seasons of great storytelling.

[@ccispahan7514]

@39:15: to me, Jaime’s look is the realization of his last son’s death - the only reason why Cersei would ascend the throne at that very moment. And the certainty that Cersei is behind the destruction of the Sept so yes, maybe fear and disgust. He knows Cersei destroyed hundreds of innocents and that along with the Sparrows, she coldly murdered the Tyrells and their uncle Kevan Lannister, using wildfire. And remember, Jaime betrayed his oath and his king to prevent the destruction of King’s Landing by wildfire in order to save innocents. Plus, in a way, Cersei is also responsible for Tommen’s suicide. She could not ignore he would be crushed by Margaery’s death and left him alone anyway. Jaime is appalled by his sister, I think, even though he cannot help loving her. It’s the most toxic relationship ever, because he is very much aware of the monster she is. His eyes scream ‘WHAT.HAVE.YOU.DONE?!!!’ and hers ‘I did what needed to be done. Paid all my debts’.

[@loicsauvage8904]

The trial scene with the setting, the music, the building tension and the final explosion is my favorite scene from GOT. It's all the more incredible since clues to Cersei's plan had been placed during previous episodes. - Episode 6: at the beginning, Bran has multiple visions of the past and the future, and we see the wild fire spreading underground - Episode 7 : Olenna tells Cersei that she is surrounded by enemies and asks her if she plans to kill them all by herself :) - Episode 8: when Jaime speaks to Edmure in the tent, he tells him Cersei would be ready to reduce cities to ashes for her children - Episode 8: Cersei and Qyburn discuss an "old rumor" that Qyburn's little birds confirmed, saying there was much more than they thought - Episode 9: Tyrion tells Daenerys that the Mad King had scattered caches of wild fire under several places in the city, including the sept of Balor

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Yes! We saw that scene of the wildfire roaring through the tunnel in several of Bran's visions. It's definitely a hint that he is capable of seeing future events.

[@ccispahan7514]

It is infuriating to see Margaery die like this. A lot was happening behind the scenes. If you listen carefully to her dialog with the High Sparrow, it seems like Margaery had an agreement with him about Loras and probably about Cersei. I am quite convinced that she had negotiated conversion (and safety) for Loras and death for Cersei. Then, she would have whispered in the King’s ear to overturn the Sparrows, destroy them and restore the full glory of the Crown. She was playing a long and strategic game. Cersei got to her first, because she is tactical, quick and vicious. Same happened when Robert died. She acted fast and decisively by putting Joffrey on the Throne and throwing Ned in a cell. That’s why Varys told Ned that his mercy killed Robert. Cersei is merciless and ready to do anything to preserve herself (and her children as long as they live- insofar as they accept to be extensions of herself). She is a blatant narcissist. Also, it is quite funny to realize that her plan is drawn based on a discussion with Tommen and her last chat with Olenna. She did exactly what both suggested.

It was officially this episode where we finally had to just wash our hands with Cersei. She was officially unredeemable from this point. From the explosion killing all those ppl(Including Margery), to Tommen's suicide, Arya's ultimate revenge, Jon's true lineage, and then Jon being crowned the King of the North. This finale was on ultimate steroids 🔥🔥🔥 Now on to season 7😈😈

[@johnohrstrom5112]

He stupped up alright, then gravity took hold! Then on to Walder!!!

[@bastiancalderon2807]

You guys are right abuot the 'heir' situation. The rules are that after a ruler dies, it passes first to thier trueborn sons, eldests first, then to their trueborn daugters, and then onto brothers and so on. So yeah, at Winterfell, Sansa has way more claim to inherit it especially because Jon isn't even a trueborn son of Ned, everyones thinks he's hes bastard. Which is why Jon calls Sansa 'The Lady of Winterfell', even tho they just chose him as King in the North Re: The Iron Throne, since after the Mad King the heir was Rhaegar, after him comes his trueborn sons/daugters before Dany, who's his only sibling alive. But Jon aint a trueborn son of Rhaegar either. Rhaegar was married to Ellaria Martell, Oberyn's sister, and their trueborn childs were murdered by the Mountain as babies so yeah... Dany has still more claim than Jon to The Iron Throne as things stand.

[@gunkulator1]

Not quite. In the first season Sansa and her Septa talk about what would happen if she and Joffrey only had daughters. And the answer was her trueborn daughters would be skipped over in favor of Tommen.

[@kytteneyes950]

THE BEST EPISODE IN THE SERIES! Just FYI, The Mad King (Aerys II) had 3 children (with his sister-wife, Rhaella): Rhaegar, Viserys, and, Daenerys. Rhaegar had 2 children with his wife (Elia Martell - Oberyn's sister) who were all killed by The Mountain. All that just to say, any child born to Rhaegar after that incident, would have more of a claim to the Iron Throne ahead of any of his younger siblings.

[@gunkulator1]

Only Rhaegar's true born sons can make the claim. Bastards cannot inherit without special dispensation from the king.

Walder wasn't the only character to die by a method he used to kill. The other orchestrators of the red wedding did too, Tywin by crossbow as many of the people in the hall did and Roose Bolton by a dagger in the heart as he did to Robb. It's not even confined to villains. 1x1 Ned beheads someone with his greatsword, 1x10 he gets beheaded by the same sword. I know there are other examples that I can't think of right now, but it's definitely a trend of reaping what you sow. Edit: I got the Ned thing wrong. His was that he killed Ser Arthur Dayne with his own ancestral sword, then was killed with his own ancestral sword. Dayne's sword was called Dawn and wasn't Valyrian steel but was forged from a crashed meteorite that landed near the ancestral home of House Dayne, called Starfall. You didn't get to wield Dawn just by being the lord of Starfall, you also had to prove yourself worthy in some unknown way but parts of it are exceptional swordsmanship and honour beyond question. If no current member of the house measure up, it remains in the great Hall awaiting it's next user, who is always known as The Sword Of The Morning.

[@kennethsmith8788]

This episode is probably the most Shakespearean out of the whole series. Cersei goes full Lady Macbeth, Tommen and Margaery do a warped Romeo and Juliet star-crossed lovers thing, Arya embraces her inner Hamlet, Littlefinger imitates Richard III, and Jon Snow embodies Henry V. There’s probably more, to be honest, but these are what most readily came to mind. This is one of my favorite episodes (and, if I’m going to be brutally honest, probably the high water mark of the series). We see Chehkov’s gun finally go off with the wildfire, this time wielded by Cersei. There’s the dichotomy between Tyrion’s use of wildfire to defend King’s Landing vs Cersei’s application that destroyed much of the city. There’s also the way Cersei begins her official reign essentially fulfilling the Mad King’s command/promise to “burn them all!”. Then there’s Jaime, returning to the capital to find the city in ruins, his son dead, and his sister striking a triumphant pose at her coronation. Somehow I don’t think Jaime was thinking happy thoughts when he strode into the Red Keep. If anything, the way he stared at his sister seems like the way you’d look at someone who’s just transformed into a monster right in front of you. This is the same guy that put his sword through Aerys Targaryen’s back for threatening to burn the city and its citizens to the ground with wildfire. Now he comes home to King’s Landing to find his sister having done the act, killing hundreds, if not thousands, in the act and sacrificing her son in the process. And yet there she sits upon the Iron Throne with a smug expression having finally gotten one over on her enemies. I think it’s the first time Jaime sees his sister for what she is or has become, and he doesn’t like it. Arya demonstrates how much darker she’s become. She takes pleasure in killing now, in exacting revenge. During Jon’s coronation as the White Wolf, Sansa gives off her own victorious smile. She’s finally outplayed Littlefinger. Baelish wanted her to become Lady of Winterfell in order to help him along toward becoming king, promising her many of the same things he promised her aunt Lysa. She lets him think what he wants for the moment. Meanwhile we get the sense she went behind Jon’s back and engineered the nobles’ support for him becoming King of the North instead, thus foiling whatever plot Littlefinger had been brewing. The ending of the episode was cathartic. For six seasons (and many years for a few 😂) we’ve waited patiently for this moment, and finally the heroine of the series sets sail for home, an army at her back and dragons for heralds. The sails of the ships speak for themselves, black sails of the red three-headed dragon, the orange and red of Dorne, the green sails with the Golden Lily of Tyrell. A Lannister as her Hand and Greyjoys her captains, House Targaryen is united with her old allies again.

So lucky, you guys can just watch Season 7. We waited so long, re-watched all the seasons and S7 trailers. But I’ll always love hearing Frey refer to himself and Jamie as kingslayers.

Best episode of the entire show, unbelievable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@pricey1635]

The opening scene is fantastic. The build up, the music, unbelievable.

35:08 Then you have the tunnels that Varys referred to during the Blackwater, which is how the kid was initially running from the Sept but eventually led Lansel under it through the tunnels. 39:20 I though Jaime was shocked/angry, not happy about the situation AT ALL, which is why Cersei had that look of guilt and shame on her face while sitting on the throne. 44:29 I LOVE the way you came to that conclusion about the Kingsguards being there to protect the baby. I've watched a LOT of reactions to this show but NO ONE put the Kingsguard thread together with protecting Lyanna and the baby under the prince's orders.

Maybe it'll finally be funny if you post it one more time.

[@TheTalentTJRichter]

@@gunkulator1 get ready to see it again =D

[@TheTalentTJRichter]

@@gunkulator1 I'm actually very curious as to what your top 5 episodes of all time are. I'll rewatch them all immediately. I know the problems people have with 8 but i really do think those 2 episodes are my favorite. What are your 2 favorites at least? Also, great playlist. Steve Miller Band has been my favorite since i was 7.

[@gunkulator1]

@@TheTalentTJRichter You lost me. Post the list again. That's where your comedy material really shines and besides, your audience expects it.

[@TheTalentTJRichter]

@@gunkulator1 ​ @gunkulator1 I really dont know what you just said lol. I have no audience and i dont care what anyone thinks about what I like. Was just trying to talk to you about your fav episodes so i could watch your favs again.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Mouths drop, "Candle", then shock sets in, brains trying to figure out what to think, after wildfire..."Omg, Ohhhhh", "She's smirkin". Then mouths drop again,"Boom, Cersei's tough guys",. Mouths drop again, "What?", shock takes over with Tommen and...pause. Sweet moment with Tyrion, mouths drop again..."Its Arya"! lmao, welcome to the ride of Game of Thrones. Then Jon, the ships, the dragons, and u guys trying to figure out Jon. Epic! Thanx so much, Peace

Now you know why Cersei is the absolute GOAT when it comes to villains. Its the villain we never knew we wanted. Mindblowing actress. Literally carries the whole show in terms of characterization and performance. PS: Piano is insane here. Can't get more eerie than this!

[@gunkulator1]

Yup. It's why Season 5/Book 4&5 Cersei is so frustrating. She turns into a blithering idiot in order to advance plot points.

[@kobarsos82]

@@gunkulator1 Hard disagree, she is always true to "herself" and her character literally from start to finish, there is not a single point in the entire show that she actually feels off-character. Everything she does makes absolute sense and its because of the actress that it feels that way. That's all I can ever ask for, for such an amazing villain.

[@gunkulator1]

@@kobarsos82 In season 1, Cersei lectures Joffrey on why a royal army can't work in Westeros because of the way soldiers owe their loyalty to their local lord first before the crown. And then in season 5 she completely forgets this and somehow expects an army loyal to the Faith to be loyal to her and not to the Faith.

[@cmbtking]

Definitely one of the best episodes of the series.

[@ulricaandrae4381]

This episode 🔥 I know a lot of ppl hate on the later/last season but don’t let it get to you. I don’t think they are bad, just a bit rushed. Continue enjoy the show!

[@jonmoore873]

It’s a payoff because you’ve waited weeks. Imagine waiting years! This was torture. And the book folk had decades. Anyway, great as ever guys.
