Ppl forget that Tommen is not stupid. He is perhaps a coward and not as brutal as Tywin, Joffery, or Stannis. But the kid is very wise. He sees the danger the High Sparrow presents, and most of the adults dont see it. If only he could have meshed that wisdom with some assertiveness, he could have rivaled Jaehyrys (known as the best King the seven kingdom has seen) himself. Tommen, out of all the Lannister kids/grandkids (Tyrion, Cersei, and Jaime included), really NEEDED Tywin. Tywin could have made that kid one of the greatest kings ever. He already had a gentle heart, but with Tywin's turtoring, he would have been more decisive and more assertive. A king that is firm in his decisions but also is kind and understanding and not sadistic, so commoners or high lords won't just suffer for his pleasure like Joffery.
I didn't start watching this until the 6th season and someone told me a huge spoiler. That spoiler made me watch the show, fell in love and caught up in a few weeks.
Sansa is so much of a better character now than she was earlier in the series. It's so nice to see her taking the initiative and trying to make things happen. Also I said this in a previous comment, but each season of the show takes place over the course of a year so its been about 5 or 6 years since the last time Jon and Sansa saw each other.
I LOVE Sansa and Jon's reunion scene, it's been about 5 seasons since they last met and Sansa has been through a lot. Finally she has someone in the family with her again. But Tormund is the MVP in the episode though, the looks🤣
I hate how Tyrion is written so well as the smart guy as audience we automatically accept his decision over the two people that were actually slaves and understand tye masters. I can understand maybe a year or two by 7 years is wild
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it was actually a lot of Varys behind that plan..it especially fits if he is playing a long game Targaryen revenge arc..
Ramsey was off screen in season 2 episode 10. He was the one blowing the horn - pissing Theon off at Winterfell. "I will kill that man!" 😂 And i think he first appeared on screen when Theon was on the cross in Season 3 episode 1 or 2? Hisbfirst on screen appearance was when he offered Theon water early season 3, it might have episode 2 or 3, maybe even episode 1.
Darrio stabbed the guy in the heart. He crushed his head in with the rock as the Khal explained. But it never hid the “stab wound” the Jorah claimed would have gained attention. Wouldn’t you crush the dudes chest instead? I think it’s a small error in writing but I could be wrong
Great reaction..if I had to guess, when Ramsey is first mentioned in season 2 as Roose's b*stard going to root Theon and the Iron born out, I'm betting he was also the horn player that was driving Theon nuts..the psychological torture fits with Ramsey's character and he is seen with a horn in an early Theon/Ramsey scene in season 3.. I hate on Ramsey as much as the next person, but as a writer, I can't help but laugh at the way he writes his letters.. XO
I'm not a big "Waaah! You deviated from the books!" kind of complainer but, here I go: The Dany is fireproof mythology drives me nuts. It's not a thing, not supported in lore nor the rules of magic and it lends her superhuman justification for burning people. Also frustrating: Everyone ignoring that she has been channeling her brother's entitlement and bloodlust since season 2 and, seemingly being just fine with her tendency to mass murder.
I think they just did that to make Dany visually appealing, and I don't mean the nudes. I mean since she doesn't have combat skills without her dragon, being able to do something like that to the Khals, make her look closer to this godly figure that you are just in awe of when you see her like that. How can u get hardened men and women to follow this tiny girl (without her dragons)? Do just that. It feels like cheating, but I excuse it since it looks incredible. That is the difference between the two media - books and show.
It's the fire proof hair that really sends me lol Also, it's easy for people to ignore her flaws when she is earning titles like Mhysa, breaker of chains, and all that. She is definitely a lighter grey than her brother was, but she is far from the godlike being she is painted out to be and seen as. Granted, I would have a big head too if I walked into flames and came out with 3 dragons 😂
I’ve been binging your videos lately in preparation for HotD tonight and I swear every video seems like Blake doesn’t like Igli 😢 I might be fully misreading things, which I hope is true cuz I love the 3 of you together, but everytime it feels like Blake just has snappy comments to him 😢😢 He’s still so hot though, snappy or not 😂😂
Sorry, book snob here. Why didn’t the Tyrells (a very powerful & rich family that has one of the biggest armies in Westeros) just storm the sept and rescue Margeary??? Oh wait that does happen in the books. It makes absolutely no sense that the high sparrow would be able to keep Margeary hostage when she is the future queen and a Tyrell! I know the show makes Mace Tyrell a goofy, dumb, mama’s boy but that’s not true in the books. Mace Tyrell has a lot of power and he uses it! Even Cersei & Jaime become frustrated with Tywin because they believed that Tywin was bowing to the Tyrells because of their power. Just read the books, it’s a much better story.
I feel bad for you guys once you get to the final season. Watch one of the greatest shows ever get completely and utterly destroyed by a absolutely horrendous final season. I'm pretty sure the final season was written by a group of wild monkeys that they had locked in a room with a bunch of typewriters for 78 hours. Yes, it's that bad.
