i don't want hannah to ever insinuate that she's not intelligent ever again because i swear she is one of the most competent reactors out there she sees everything.. that takes really solid comprehension skills and media literacy
100% agree. I've watched sooo many reactors react to GoT and she has caught the majority of things that most reactors did not catch at all or were even close to catching. She does all this WHILE giving us top tier reactions 🤌🏾
@@juanjomerengueThere are many many examples of his character and what he did that prove him to be a good character. For example, saving King's landing at the cost of his own reputation and many more
Gendry's rowing was one of the top questions we ALL had during the show's live run 😂. The episode wouldnt even be about him & we were all still asking about him rowing. We didn't know if he got lost, rowed in circles or what... It makes me happy to hear you ask the same question lol
That was crazy how Hannah just dropped casually that she starred in a movie! I quickly watched the trailer, and if it wasn't for her voice I wouldn't have recognized her right away. She looks very different in the film. But that voice stands out.
I didn’t think Jaime loves Brienne in a romantic way. I think she’s his first actual friend. He’s never had anyone to confide in and in this friendship he’s learned what’s been lacking in his life. He’s protected her with nothing in it for him and she’s protected him with nothing in it for her
Yes and also I think Jamie sees Brienne as the knight he should have been. Like, she’s the personification of a knight with honor where as he is known as being without it.
@@paolajones2412 Brienne is NOT a knight with honor lol. She is loyal to whoever was nice to her last (it helps if they are a hot guy). That is not very knight like
@@ben1ben2ben1wow..that Catelyn sure was a hot guy..especially while her bloated corpse was floating in a river. Brienne honored her vows. Even after the people she made them to were dead.
@@cmo9400 I said IT HELPS if they are a hot guy. She just jumps around with her loyalty depending on who was nice to her last. But only if they are highborn. She treats people like Pod like shit (although she was nice to him in the books).
@@ben1ben2ben1 she swore her sword to four people..renly, Catelyn, sansa and bran. Only one of those was a ‘hot guy’. And quite frankly, he wasn’t very hot. The other three she pledged from a sense of duty. You’re wrong. She taught Pod to fight. She defended the innocent, she was brave etc. she was an excellent knight. And of course she pledged her sword to highborn people..who the hell is she supposed to pledge her sword to? The local dockworker?
Really wild how D&D openly said after season 8 that they didn't like the fantasy elements in the story. Then why on earth would they choose to adapt this? Why couldn't they leave the role of showrunner to someone else and let us have 10 seasons as HBO and GRRM wanted? Sad how they ruined something so good. They went as far as excluding GRRM from his consultant/screenwriting position in season 7 & 8 just so that they could freely do whatever nonsense they liked with the plotlines 🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️ Pricks!
I want to start by saying that none of this Justifies Jaime's actions. I think what we see from him in this season is the culmination of a lifetime of well hidden trauma. His whole life has been in service to everyone else. He served his family, his king, the realm, Cersei, everyone. But he's never been asked what he wants or how he feels. He's the golden child and has had to live up to that his whole life. Not even Cersei gives a shit about his desires or needs, even she simply sees him as a tool to acquire her goals. After losing a hand and nearly his life, I think perspective has hit Jaime sidelong. From a very skewed and hurt perspective, his actions now are about seizing some sort of control for himself and trying to serve his own needs above others for once. Now, he's gone about it in about the worst ways possible, but at the same time the world has been doing the same to him. I like game of thrones because the characters are based in reality, despite the insanity. Most of what they do or the choices they make, are based on their personal experience and skewed world view. Just like real life. Too many shows and books have the characters act for the sake of the plot and nothing else. Say what you will about George R.R. But he knows how to write a character from a psychological point of view.
I looked up the trailer for My Day after you mentioned it in this video and I'm honestly amazed by your acting! I had no idea you were an actress too, definitely adding the film to my watch list
Hannah, I just watched "My Day"! I thought you were brilliant and I wanted to tell everyone my friend is on Amazon Prime, but then I realized I needed to get a grip as we've never met. You've got some acting chops, g/f (g/f in my head, that is). Now, the movie kinda just went off in my face, but your acting was top-tier!!! Kudos!!
Kinda of weird fact that she never mentioned before. Lol Also, I only watched the trailer, but she is not just in the movies. She is the LEAD in the film.
One detail: the scene with the white walkers at the end of this episode was the first scene ever that readers of the books, at the time, had not yet "seen". It is the moment when the series showed something completely new, moreover on such an important and central topic as the "birth" of white walkers. For me, as a reader of the books, it was a beautiful moment of mindfuck. And welcome back! p.s. - i LOVE Olenna too. Awesome character, awesome actress.
Badass? Absolutely. Cersei's match? Ehhhh. Lannisters always pay their debts, and Cersei has done things that would shock the Seven Gods and set their hair on fire.
@@GeneralGrievousCIS I agree with that to a point, but I can't say they were VASTLY more intelligent because there are things that would've played out MUCH differently if they were. The Tyrells care about the optics in winning the game of thrones. Cersei just cares about winning. And looking back at the way they each played the game, Cersei was the better player.
@shadypelican Cersei was certainly not the better player. Imo, her "winning" was hilariously bad writing indicative of the show starting its fall from grace. Realistically, her openly murdering the popular Queen, the Hand of the King (who also happened to be the head of House Lannister), the Lord Paramount of the Reach, and the High Septon along with hundreds of nobles and clerics, while simultaneously destroying the holiest site in the faith, all this while being widely disdained already, would've gotten her lynched. She'd have never got away with declaring herself Queen while lacking any claim under such circumstances. She p*ssed off basically every region of Westeros, and thus lined up all the armies against her (she had nobody loyal to her bar Jaime and Qyburn... even the Boltons were openly moving against her by taking Sansa) and was ceaselessly wreckless. Cersei makes decisions on emotional impulse, often out of spite or jealousy. These decisions often backfire (arming the faith militant, or example). She's arrogant and imagines herself of superior intellect. I feel the scene she has with Tywin sums it up nicely. She suggests she is the Lannister child who has best paid attention to him and would carry on his legacy, insinuates he's overlooked her because she's a woman, and then complains about Margaery having influence over Joffrey. Tywin essentially replies that he's glad Margaery can control Joffrey, and wishes Cersei were able to, before telling her his distrust for her has nothing to do with her gender and that its because "you're not as smart as you think you are." Tywin was right. Much as he despised Tyrion, he knew Cersei wasn't to be trusted running things in King's Landing and so sent Tyrion to babysit as acting hand in his stead (Cersei knew that's what Tywin was doing, too, and thus had a tantrum when Varys confirmed it). Cersei was, frankly, too self-centered, spiteful, impulsive, and arrogant to succeed at the game of thrones in the long run. She was awful at making others want to support her, and usually made no effort to do so. By S8 (if we want to include the latter seasons) we have her refusing to support Dany and Co. against the White Walkers, despite knowing they're real, and thus risking the fate of all of humanity, on a gamble that the battle would weaken Dany. That's the height of shortsighted. Had the Night King won there, she'd have had no kingdom to rule over as all of Westeros would've been overrun by the dead. But ya know, f*ck Dany, why should I help a younger more beautiful queen? Something something childhood prophecy. All Cersei ever was was a callous, jealous, less intelligent and controlling, poor-imitation of Tywin. She wants power for powers sake but doesn't weild it well. Olenna calls her out for it in one scene. When Olenna meets with Tywin, he's writing away with a paper on his desk. Not only is Tywin believably hard at working managing things as Hand, It serves as a subtle threat, when he reveals that what he's doing is planning to sign Loras onto the King's Guard. Olenna ultimately takes it seriously and acquiesces. When Olenna meets with Cersei, Cersei is sitting at the desk writing away in the same manner... Olenna promptly tells her bluntly to put the quill down because "we both know you aren't actually writing anything." Cersei was just trying to pretend she was important (when at the time she was basically just an often drunk queen mother) and play-Tywin. Cersei cares about optics too... it's just she wants to be feared & to that extent respected as an intellect like her father. She doesn't care about being loved, and neither did he. Cersei, however, was no Tywin. Tywin knew it, Kevan knew it, Olenna knew it... It took Margaery 5 minutes to win over Sansa, while Cersei essentially never could. It took Margaery not long at all to find a way to temper Joffrey and make him at least accommodate efforts to boost his appeal as a King. Cersei never bothered even trying. Cersei armed the faith militant to be rid of Margaery without considering that her own list of sins would be FAR more grievous in the eyes of fundamentalists, and was then humiliated by them and forced to take a walk of shame. Margaery never took a walk of shame, instead she duped the High Sparrow into thinking her faithful. Margaery always outplayed Cersei, until the very end when Cersei did something that (realistically) should've doomed her and flipped the game board out of rage (ironically costing her Tommen in the process, Margaery's charm inflicting one final blow on her). Marg and Olenna were better players than Cersei imo. Their Lannister analogue would more accurately be Tyrion and Tywin.
Glad to hear you're feeling better. My friend across the pond here in the states (WV, to be exact) had the exact little intestinal bug you were referring to over the weekend and Monday. Thank goodness we both work from home now. No need to worry about office germs floating around. 😊
I think craster had an agreement with the nightking and the whitewalkers that they leave him alone as long as he keeps providing baby’s for their army. Whitewalkers and especially the nightking aren’t just undead killing machines they are actually smart and calculating so craster was useful to them. And the women at the keep knew that especially the older ones. So they probably saw no other way than to offer the baby up since they feared that otherwise the ww would attack them. As scary as the nightwatch deserters are, the ww are scarier. Also I believe that is the main reason why craster was the only one who didn’t join Mace Raiders march to the wall. He wasn’t just the stubborn old prick, refusing to give up his keep, he knew he would be relatively safe anyway the way he’s been handling things.
Hannah, Hannah, Hannah!! After watching this GoT reaction, I hoped over to Amazon to watch your movie "My Day". I am gobsmacked!! You are an awesome actress and I really liked your movie!! Good Job!!
Has it only been a year?? I thought we were going at a one season a year pace 😂😅 😝 take ur time Hanna we just playing hahahah 😝 she prolly stressing seeing the comments teasing her lmao
Wow, I didn’t realize you were an actor. I checked out My Day, so wild to see you there. Also: Yes, “My morning routine” with Daenerys. That would be some great content! 😂
Hey Hannah, I've been bingeing your reactions to GOT. They're phenomenal. You may miss a "line" or two occasionally, but your cuts to your analysis and commentary is very entertaining. You've picked up or caught a TON of Easter eggs. Your media comprehension and 6th sense is fantastic when itching a "bad feeling". Great stuff. I do hope you finish season 6 soon. 6 and 4 were by far my favorite.
I just watched the intro of your Movie “My Day”. So far, It’s Aces!!! Love it and plan to watch the rest when I get home. Please let us know if you have any other movies please. ❤❤❤
There's also a brief close up on Olenna as she watches Tyrion bring the cup to Joffrey. Another thing I liked about that scene, all the foreshadowing was done really well. It was just the right level of subtle
Hey Hannah, Im so sorry to hear u've been ill, but glad ur feeling better. Thanx for sharing info on ur film "My Day". Just went and watched the trailer, I'll def be watchin'. Being down with all these surgeries and long recovery times I need as much to watch as possible. So if u have any more films, please drop the info Im all in for a good watch. Stay groovy, Peace
Feeling confused over Jamie is normal. He is one of the most conflicting characters on the show and most relatable because he's so human. He has good and bad qualities. Very few people in the word are like Ned Stark.
Kinda weird since it's never really been an issue before. For example, Mila Kunis was 14 and Aston Kutcher was 20, but they made out all the time in that 70s show.
I hear most of the stuff filmed in westeros is in Ireland, but some of it is in some other countries. Most of the stuff near the wall is elsewhere, but the warmer parts of westeros, I believe was Ireland
Good point. I know a lot of people like to say oh Dion didn't actually kill those kids so he's all good now. No he's still did kill some kids. It just wasn't the two kids we thought he killed
It's not clear from the show, but Bran's power to warg into an animal is MUCH harder to do with a human host. The only reason he's able to get into Hodor's head is because Hodor's mind is damaged and he can't focus enough to resist, and Jojen, who knows a lot about this stuff, was still amazed that he managed it. In the book, there's a scene (not in the TV show so no spoilers) in which another skin-changer is in a desperate situation and tries to warg into a fully functional human. Even though this skin-changer is MUCH more experienced than Bran, the human manages to resist the control and kill themselves in absolute horror before the warg can get control of them. There is a HUGE taboo amongst the wildlings against warging into ANY human.
Jaime grape scene with Cerci never happened in the books. On books it was consensual. HBO just threw it in there for shock value, that’s why it seems out of nowhere.
Same for Dany and Drogo. If I recall correctly, she was low key into him in the books, even on their first night together. The weird grape/slave to romance arc they do in the show was so unnecessary.
@@ShastaMusicyeah it was much more complicated. Both scenes are. Dany and Drogo is still technically noncon in the books and in the beginning of the scene Dany is terrified of him. But it is still a tender scene by the end, nothing at all like the awful scene in the show. Same for Jamie and Cercei it's messed up in the books and Cercei does originally say no, but flips to something akin to "hurry up, do it now". There's a symbolic purpose to that scene in the books too. D&D don't seem to understand nuance in intimate situations, and this isn't me accusing anybody of anything but it does raise an eyebrow 🤷
@@ShastaMusic Dany and Drogo was still messed up in the books since she was 13 and shoving Drogo's fingers in her. The scene in the show was one of the few changes that made more sense
OMG, Hannah. You are like almost perfect, know what I mean? heh Don't worry about what others say, you reactions are fun. Just be yourself and don't worry about what other's think.
Totally random, but I've made a game of trying to hit the beat when the music comes back on in your intro 🤣 Also totally random: I like the way you curled your long strands inward and your bangs outward. Looks pretty
FUN FACT: Lady Olenna Tyrell actress Diana Rigg (RIP) in her younger days actually looked like she could be related to actress Natalie Dormer (granddaughter Margaery Tyrell). Check out a picture of her and see what you think.
I have always deemed you a fun reactor who appeared to be somewhat clueless. Now by your own words you have worked on screen with someone from GoT! @Don't trust hannah you are bloody brilliant! I love that even though your reactions are not to be trusted, they are hilarious! You are taking the piss-take out of all of us!🤣
23:45 to be fair, the women know that’s the only reason the white walkers leave them alone. If the hadn’t sacrificed the baby, they may have been attacked by the white walkers that night.
