Game of Thrones Season 4 Episode 1 'Two Swords' REACTION!! 

The hound is PERFECTION in the chicken scene....someone is...chills!!!!

Tywin and Jaime interacted in season 1 when Tywin was skinning a stag.

Arya replayed _word by word_ the scene where Polliver took Needle and killed Lommy... it took him long enough to remember, but his face at the end when he _finally_ recognised her was priceless. :D And the list gets one name shorter.

Teenage dragons are the WORST...

I love how attached Arya is to Needle. It's like the only thing tying her back to Winterfell and her family. It's all she has left of Jon and the Starks.

The Arya and the Hound scene is one of fav scenes. Dont mess with the Hounds chickens!!!🐔🐔🐔

That story Prince Oberyn tells of his sister Elia and Rhaegar and how Elia and her children were killed by the Mountain still gets to me.

Just a pointer: the bald guy on the table of people judging Jon is Janos Slynt. He was in the first season. He was sent to the Wall by Tyrion because he betrayed the previous Hand (Ned Stark).

The Arya and the Hound team up is one of those things that you didn't even know you wanted but once you get it you never want to be without it again. They are AMAZING together!

Tywin Lannister melting down the Stark family's ancestral Valyrian greatsword, Ice, to reforge it into two new Lannister swords is such a desecration. (Whilst the show didn't highlight the importance of this, Valyrian blades are precious family heirlooms passed down through countless generations so for Ice to be melted down is abhorrent)

God the chills I get when Arya says “maybe I’ll pick my teeth with it” and he finally realizes

Wait what? Did you just cut off on that infamous chicken speech part? I can't believe it!

Fun fact about dragons: They keep growing until they die. Remember that giant skull that Arya hid inside in season 1? GIANT.

Valerian steel is impossible to make as the recipe was lost, so it is highly sort after and expensive. Only a few people in the world can reforge it too

I think Tywin sees Jaime being crippled as an opportunity rather than a setback. He doesn’t want him to be a “glorified bodyguard”, naming Jaime to the kings guard was an insult from the mad king, since it effectively made Tyrion, the son Tywin hated, the only heir to Casterly Rock. Now Tywin thinks he’s got an excuse to put his oldest son back in the position he’s “supposed” to have - the person who carries on the family name. He’s still MVP in Tywin’s book.

It’s interesting how Jon reacted very strongly and emotionally when he found out about Ned’s death; but he seemed to accept Robb’s death much better. I think at this point he has already seen so much evil and injustice that he was better equipped mentally to deal with the loss of Robb.

The episode is called “Two Swords”. But, which two swords do you two think it refers to? There’s several possibilities: Ice being melted down and split into 2 new swords; Ice and Needle bookending the episode; the two swords being held and then dropped by Daario & Grey Worm in their “contest”; Tywin & Danny both being on successful war paths; Or The Hound & Arya?

imagine how satisfying that last scene with Arya and the Hound was for the people who waited a whole year between seasons.

Tell me I'm not the only one who finds Pedro Pascal(Oberyn) really attractive 😍

Arya is absolutely at the top of the list. My favorite book character and I'm so happy that she is just as badass in the show. I always called her the "Adorable Little Murder Machine".

An aside about Joffrey: He's simply following his mother's advice from S01E3, while she was bandaging his wounds, after being bitten. She told him when he's the King, "The truth will be what you make it." Thus the answer to all the statues, and the taking credit of stuff he had no part of. Great episode, great reaction. Keep on keeping on.

I honestly prefer this daario, in my opinion he is more charming

Cersei's cousin is Lancel Lannister. Gods, what a stupid name!

...and the Hound got his chicken!

GoT Season 4: Dragons go through puberty too.

Locke, the guy who chopped off Jaime's hand told Jaime to get a golden hand, well... :D

The Hound and his chicken have since become a popular meme 🍗

Remember a couple of weeks ago when you two despised Jamie, Theon, & The Hound?

Too bad one of the best lines of the show was not in the reaction from The Hound, "I think I'm gonna have to eat every f**king chicken in this room"

ABOUT THE INTRO Did you know every episode the intro change? the cities that you see in the intro, is the main story that about to see in this episode!

Awwww, "My little savage." Lol. Arya gets a look of horror from Nikki and a sitting ovation from Steven! Love Arya.

SPOILER WARNING (NIKKI AND STEVEN MUST NOT SEE THIS) : I've read like 40 comments already about how great Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper, is... And that 4th season is the best.... Nikki and Steven told us numerous times now that they don't want to read this kind of information. Can't you guys respect their wishes not to be told which season, which character is good? It is amazing to see so many people doesn't give a shit about that. Again, a huge work ahead for moderators :(

18:25 "Are you sure we're not related?" ... Oh, is he flirting with her?😏😂

I don’t know why but hearing Nikki call Arya her little savage brought me so much joy. I seriously can’t stop smiling now. Thank you for just being you!

So what is Arya's body count up to now? 4? If you don't count those she made Jaqen and the Hound kill. Seems like Melisandre was right. She leveled up,got her weapon back and her own mount.

That tavern scene with the Hound and Arya is one of the best scenes in television in my opinion!

Let your coworkers know Y'all are a pretty big deal to 23,000 other nerds!

Please guys, no spoilers in any way. Just let them discover all the things that happen on their own. I mean you had the pleasure to do it. Don't ruin it for them when they give us their time to create videos that we enjoy. That's the least thing you could do.

Arya and the hound, still the best character arcs of the show. And the chicken scene was simply the BEST! The actor even got a few commercials out of it :)))

Prince Oberyn's arrival is one of the best moments in the show

I. Love. Arya.

That transition between the statue of Joffrey and the real Joffrey always cracks me up. You guys, the internet was full of memes involving The Hound and chicken. Redesigned KFC buckets, the Hound dressed up as Colonel Sanders. It was hilarious. I love the Hound and Arya together. A lot of unlikely pairings in this episode. The Hound and Arya, Jaime and Brienne, and I love Tyrion and Sansa together even though their scene was sad. He genuinely wants to help her and she, understandably, doesn't want his help. The scene still manages to be sweet, though. Yeah. Everyone hates Thenns. Ew.

There seems to be a problem with the audio when the Hound says *"cunts"* .

I have so many things to say, not enough time, I'm having a real hard time with a sick newborn and an emotional 6-year old, so I have so much on my hands and in my head, but but your reactions really, I mean, REALLY, save my day in more ways that you know. I take a small breather in the kitchen while I am cooking, and I watch you guys, and you are so cool, adorable, likable, just so exciting. Thank you for this!! 💓💓🙌 so much love from Denmark.

I dont know if your reaction was 100% there or not, that was the line he used on her, before he killed one of her friends in that exact manner and took her sword, it's HER sword. That was why she used that line, then he realized..... and he died. It refers to Season 2, where Polliver (That dude), killed Lommy with Needle, through the neck. (S02E03), so not only was that badass for Arya, poetic retribution. Lommy was shot in the leg with a crossbolt and Polliver said "Have I got to carry you boy ?", before killing him. That was why she (arya) said to Polliver in the Inn "Have I got to carry you boy ?", before killing him, through the neck.

There is some history here that you don't realize. You see, Jaime is Tywin's pride and joy and he was screwed by the Mad King when Aerys Targaryen made Jaime a Kingsguard. Tywin was Aerys' Hand and for many years they worked well together, but Aerys was becoming paranoid and jealous of Tywin. Aside from the fact that Aerys lusted after Tywin's wife Joanna, Aerys making Jaime a Kingsguard robbed Tywin of his preferred heir. Kingsguards do not inherit lands or carry titles. This is why when Tyrion demanded Casterly Rock, Tywin refused - he was hoping for some way to restore Jaime to being his proper heir and when Jaime refused, it pissed Tywin off. Another wrinkle to the Kingsguard thing is that Jaime and Cersei have been diddling each other since they were young, and Tywin had taken Cersei to King's Landing with him. Cersei was encouraging Jaime to come to King's Landing and if he was a Kingsguard, he could be near her - and it would have also saved him from a betrothal to Lysa Tully (later Arryn, the crazy woman whose moderately grown son still suckles at her breasts. Catelyn Tully Stark's sister). There's more to this potential betrothal but that's a discussion for another time. And as to Ser Dontos, there is history there too. From the Wiki: "The Defiance of Duskendale took place during the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen when, according to the smallfolk, Lord Denys Darklyn was convinced by his wife, Lady Serala of Myr, to take Aerys captive. According to semi-canon sources, the defiance was in fact caused by Lord Denys's refusal to pay taxes after Aerys denied his demands of certain rights for his subjects and a town charter for Duskendale.[4] During the imprisonment of the king, the master-at-arms of the Dun Fort, Ser Symon Hollard, slew Ser Gwayne Gaunt of the Kingsguard. The Hand of the King, Lord Tywin Lannister, assembled an army that could easily storm the town, but Lord Denys menaced that he would kill the king as soon as the attack started. Aerys was held prisoner for half a year with Tywin's army waiting outside Duskendale. The situation remained invariable until Ser Barristan Selmy of the Kingsguard entered the Dun Fort and rescued the king. Having lost his hostage, Lord Denys had no other option then to surrender at once. He bent the knee and begged for mercy, but the king demanded his head and all his family's. House Hollard, which had served House Darklyn during the defiance and had a close relationship with their lords, were attainted and had their lands taken, the castle torn down, and its members also executed. Only young Dontos Hollard was spared because Ser Barristan asked for mercy." Great video, I love seeing these. It's so much fun to rewatch with you.

Don't worry about the Hound. Whenever Arya gets him into a tuss, he usually ends up eating afterwards.

😂😂😂 Season 1 : Urgh incest why they f**ck?! Season 4 : Cersei, why you doesn't f**ck him😂😂 Ok sorry but I had to. I feel the same like you in this scene I don't understand Cersei here.

The Hound is father of the year material

I like this Daario better actually.

The first time we saw Tywin, he was butchering a deer and talking to Jamie

I think the recast for Daario Naharis is infinitely better than the first dude they had playing him. guy looked like a creepy ass vampire. Thats just my opinion though haha. I get he doesn't look anything like the first which was jarring but I hope he grows on you, I find him more likable from scene to scene as far as typical Daario stuff goes.

My favorite season !!! Arya is such a badass. So far she’s had some great teachers like syrio , Tywin , Jaquen , and now the hound. Their dynamic is so fun to watch

I love the new Dario he's very charming. Arya has her horse and The Hound has his chickens. Great scene 🤣🤣

Arya Stark is one of the best characters in any TV series

Since you made mention of the passage of time, it is worth pointing out that although each story is shown in chronological order there is a policy of missing out arbitrary lengths of time in a story-line when nothing much happens and with generally no indication. So it is better to think of each scene as a snapshot of events rather than necessarily 'what happened next'. And although events in different stories do roughly track each other , the cutting between story-lines is more to do with narrative pacing and staying with a certain story for a decent length of time, so the cuts aren't always exactly in time order. It took me a while to realize this - in fact I didn't realize it until I heard GRRM talking about the book structure.

Jaime and Tywin's first scene was in the tent when Tywin is skinning a stag.

Man threw himself into a pit with a bear without a weapon and without a hand and still isn't cool. Daym.

Arya has been my fav since the beginning

Arya has and is, to this episode, always been badass

Lol I thought for sure that poor Nikki was gonna puke when the Hound stabbed the dude in the face haha

The intro map changes! Never skip it! The opening song will always be amazing. :)

"Oh, my little savage!!" Im dying laughing at these reactions!! And thats why Arya's my 2nd fave

It's not Arya who wanted to rape a young person, it was the men she wanted to kill for killing her friends. They not only deserved what they got for what they were thinking about doing, you have to imagine what they've already done to hundreds of innocent Riverlanders. Valar morghulis. Winter is coming for them.

The Red Wedding was bad, but now that that is over with I was really happy to see your reaction to my favorite GOT scene "Arya gets a Pony".

Vengeance for Lommy.

Love the hound and Arya scenes! I truly think his toughness is because he’s trying to show Arya how the world actually is - The same thing he tried to do with Sansa. Look forward to more videos!

You forgot about the deer scene in season 1 but its there first time i believe since jaime lost his hand

Best season! Mods better be on their shit

there's arya's darkness and all them eyes

13:17 Nikki: “She’s not interested anymore, huh? Because of the hand, huh?” *Steven twists his left hand* 🤣🤣

You know what I realized watching your reactions? I’m pretty sure the only time Tywin Lannister smiles and chuckles was when he was around Arya. This is weird because he would never have permitted Cersei to speak and behave like Arya. I think Tywin would have enjoyed having a daughter like Arya if only he didn’t let his ambitions for his family get in the way.

No no no, don’t look Cersei’s cousin up, you might see spoilers. His name is Lancel. His father his Tywin’s younger brother, Kevan. I think he’s not formally introduced, but you saw him at Tywin’s war meetings.

Aryaa is the best caracter ever 💕

I freaking love these reactions!

8 years ago I made fun of people watching GoT. 3 years ago I started watching GoT. Now when people tell me they don't watch GoT, I'm like "you SOB!" Greatest show ever!

It's weird to see this one day later when we had to wait a whole year.

This is possibly my favorite episode of Game of Thrones.

Jaime was talking to Tywin when he was skinning the deer in the first season but I think that was the only other up till now

You've probably already been told this or figured it out, but the Thenns are just one specific tribe of Wildlings. Considering that they a brutish cannibals, it's no wonder all of the other Wilidings hate them. Lol :P Arya and the Hound's interactions are always a delight. I love that Polliver recognized Arya just before she killed him. Another great reaction!

the recast of dario was good. the first one was unlikable and smarmy.

Game of Thrones spinoff show "The Adventures of Arya and The Hound"

Congratulations on 3 million views all together! :-)

Hound slamming that dude's face on his own knife is probably the only death that made me physically cringe so far.

Season 4! My favorite season. What a ride.

Arya was hedging her bets - seeing whether the Hound was going to be killed by Mister Dagger before intervening. And she looks 22:13 like she's turning into someone who enjoys killing...😲 Interesting to note your different reactions - Steven is clapping his hands in applause but Nikki is "Oh my god". So we have a little girl (aged about 12) who appears to be turning into killer?

Now, I gotta say something (hopefully it somehow makes it through to you, since I know you don't read the comments because of the spoiler hazard): I was kind of over all these reaction videos. Have watched too many of them. BUT: since I started to read the books because of the long pause between season 7 and 8 I'm once again full in Thrones-mode and I saw someone recommending your channel. I don't regret it, really awesome videos with authentic reactions (not overly exaggerated just for the sake of clicks etc). Thank you!

Arya; most people name their swords HOUND; Lots of cunts.. Lol..lovly lines.

Best season opener of them all. Love s4. Can't wait to continue the journey with you.

I lol'd at your intro. Given how popular GoT is, I'm surprised that some people havent heard of it or, in fact, call Steven "nerd". In the office where I toil away the days to earn my daily pittence, 3 other people (out of 50 or so) are avid fans. I was at a restaurant not so long ago and the couple at the next table turned out to be GoT fans (overhearing our conversation). How many of Steven's co-workers have a RU-vid channel watched by 10s of thousands of people?😀

I hated Darrio when he was played by whoever that was in season 3. I liked him a lot more in later episodes with this guy

While the recasting was very different I prefer this actor.

There are so many great things in this episode, I had a hard time narrowing it down to keep this concise. So, here's Another Novel Note: Breaking down the Stark sword, Ice, ended Tywin's lifelong search for a Valyrian steel sword. Their old family sword Brightroar was lost with an entire expedition to Valyria. Neither were ever seen again. Tywin often made offers to buy a replacement sword from one of the poorer houses in Westeros. Now that all the male heirs to Eddard Stark are either dead or missing, nobody's left to try and reclaim Ice. So in the end, the richest man in Westeros was little more than an opportunistic scavenger. Next time on Another Note: *(Redacted for Spoilers)*

I hadn't thought about it, but when I watched this with my mom and aunt who hadn't seen the show before, they pointed out how slow Arya stabs and withdraws swords from her victims. You guys took note of that too.

Yeah, true that last fighting sequence is one of the most coolest scene of the show, Arya is Badasss!!!

Wait... "terrible re casting"???? ARE YOU TWO FOR SERIOUS??? The old Daario was FUCKING TRASH.

This IS and forever will be my favorite season opener just from the final scene with Arya. This ensured me that everything was looking up for her at this certain point and the future COULD be bright. P.S. Arya is my favorite character above all. Anyone else agree?

Have to be honest the recasting does work if you give it a chance.

I love you guys, but why did you cut out the Hound's chicken speech?☹️

"I'm going to have to eat every f***ing chicken in this room." LMAO. Sounds like me when my grandma makes fried chicken.
