'Winter Is Coming' ( And So is Jamie ) | Game of Thrones Season 1 Episode 1 First REACTION!!

[@helgar791]

Use subtitles. That will help with the many names, places, and events you'll encounter. Pay attention to the opening credits. They'll show you where in Westeros the episodes events will take place. Understand that the dialogue is more important than the events, and the action and events are numerous indeed.

[@Garryck-1]

Seconded! The dialogue is essential to following what's going on.

[@Thrashifice]

Yes, subtitles are a must! I use them on everything though, it oddly helps me pay more attention.

[@dawnburris6412]

WHAT???? I just woke up and looked at my phone and saw this! You LITERALLY just made my day!! The fact that YOU’RE reacting to GOT, one of the greatest television experiences ever, is just 🤯🙌! I truly think you will love it like so many of us did! 🤘❤️ Edit: The opening of the show: “That was brutal” “Is this ok?! I’m uncomfortable!” Viewers: “Honey, you got a big storm coming!” 🤣

[@MindOfJigsaw1]

I can't wait for his analysis of the wedding hah.

[@MFBloosh]

By the way, Jamie is the Queen's brother, so she wasn't getting her cheeks clapped by "some random guy" lmfao.

[@jaybird8192]

WORDS OF ADVICE: That was not just some random guy that was QUOTE: "Clapping the Queen!" go back and watch again! Try to remember these are Medieval times where anything goes! You must try to listen carefully to the dialogue! (Very important!) Hopefully you are watching with captions! (There will be languages that the captions are needed!) This show is truly for ADULT viewing only, and doesn't hold back anything! Best show ever, in my humble opinion, so enjoy it for what it is, my guy!

[@googlename3859]

incest has never been normal or acceptable lol, we've known about inbreeding since the beginning of history. some royal families have been known to practice it but they'd mostly likely be as tarded as the next inbred child, can't expect THEM to know any better lol

[@firstsurname7099]

Why the heck do eejits think GoT is set in medieval times, its a fantasy series ffs.

[@DarksideGmss0513]

​@@firstsurname7099 it's a fantasy show yes but if you peel back the layers of it. It's more medieval than it is fantasy. It's not like a LOTR, or D&D where damn near everything is magic. It's got more of that gritty medieval feel to it because magic isn't abundant in this show. But when it does show up it's powerful.

[@firstsurname7099]

​@Darkside0513 'more medieval' WTF.... it is noooooooottttttt in anyway set in the European middle ages FFS. GOT is a fantasy book and TV series - that's it. Tolkein as a Prof of Anglo Saxon (the language not the history or culture) drew on this in creating languages and as he also studies classics and English literature and language so built a fictional world applying his knowledge, personal experiences as well his imagination. Martin studied journalism, played chess, read comics, taught English and wrote scifi and horror before GOT. Mkay. Its all fun and entertaining, but unequivocally neither are set during an historical time.

[@twentytwo3052]

@@firstsurname7099 he literally never once said it was an actual mediaeval setting let alone a historically accurate one because obviously not its all fiction/fantasy in that aspect. he said "if you peel back the layers" its more medieval than fantasy when compared to others in the genre like LOTR, which is confirmed by show producers as they said multiple times they tried to keep fantasy and magic elements to a minimum to be marketable and friendlier to a wider audience outside of fantasy genre fans. as for the real world era equivalent to the game of thrones universe its based on some medieval, some middle, and early renaissance era Europe. for example not to spoil season 3 episode 9 but it was taken as inspiration from an event in late medieval times Scotland. so yes it is fantasy but it has real world inspiration from George Martin as you've mentioned.

[@kelligrayme]

[@keimakatsuragi3040]

@@hannahbrennan2131 Personally I would recommend to pretend it was cancelled after s 5 ep 8, because it was great (last one that deserve to be called that) and ended with a beautiful scene that works perfectly as a cliffhanger. Unfortunately, that would require watching first 7 episodes, but maybe that's a good thing - should cure him from any desire to continue.

Best descriptive title, EVER. I bow to you Sir.

[@sheds]

Loved the reaction, but boy did you miss the important bit at the end, and I can't wait to see your face when you realize it it another episode lol. Also, with Direwolves, these aren't like real ones, they're the fantasy version that are just giant, smarter, wolves typically found in colder climates, hence the Northern-most House using it as their Sigil, and the words being "Winter is Coming".

[@henryviper9091]

Oh man I'm excited to watch you go on this journey. It's going to be a wild ride.

[@ancatdal]

"The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword" is such a powerful line, one I think can stay with you. Ned's explanation of why to his young son Bran, from the books the show is based on, is also moving: "If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die." Truly powerful stuff, something to make you think about power structures and how those in positions of power over the lives of others can be entirely removed from the consequences of their decisions.

[@black-widow33]

SERIOUS ADVICE FOR WATCHING! This show is very very detailed. Many characters and plots.. Pay attention to every scene, Every word spoken. It all means something at some point whether sooner or later seasons. If you miss something, you may not pick up truths later with some epic reveals... very brutal and very dark at times. Get used to the unthinkable. Lol. With a lil incest. 🤣 we thronys will all be here for you when you go through the brutal heartbreak. We will let you know when you become a mam of winter... 🤣🤣 good luck on this wild ride ... oh, all questions you have, will be answered.. maybe in the same episode or later on. a lot of these places filming and animals are real..

They're figuring that if dire wolves still existed, they would have changed but kept some of their size. So they look like very large grey wolves. And this is a fantasy world, not actually medieval Europe, even though it's greatly modeled on it.

Its on tv because HBO lol also, itll help just looking at a map to make sense of where stuff is but thats also why the opening is helpful. Other stuff you probably figured out: incest is a thing. Targaeryans are dragon-people who got usurped by the fat king and are now a continent away. There are only 2 of them left. And, in their culture, they normally have siblings marry each other. The Lannisters are the Queen, the dude she got caught with (her brother), and Tyrion the Imp.
